31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday it was the quarterback. We actually everything was Wednesday.

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,800

Speaker 1: that we'll talk about over the course of this season

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: with the Colts. I guess where I want to start here.

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: We haven't talked before. I'm curious what sold you on

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: wanting to be a part of this Colt situation this season.

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: I think I just looked at the situation. I kind

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: of took my time down free ating to see it

52
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: and looked around and I like what the Coats, you know,

53
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: brought to the table. And with all the other talent

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: that's on the team, I just wanted to, you know,

55
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: bring my talents on the team. Um, knowing the potential

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: to team has just add someone like myself and a

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: couple other players so we can get over the top

58
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully have a good year this year.

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: I hear Stefan Gilmour with us. Did you get a

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: sales pitch from any of your present teammates or was

61
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: it all about Chris Ballad and company coming at you.

62
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I think Chris came at me. But I also knew,

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: like anymore m Darius a lot of players before and

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: just ask them how was the environment? You know, how

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: was the team? And I'm I like it. You know,

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: it's it's good people. You know it work hard, you know,

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: got great potential. We just gotta go outda and put

68
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: it all together and be able to win some games.

69
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: As far as what you're trying to do, and this

70
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: is what I gather, you know from obviously camp been

71
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: going on for a couple of weeks now, it seems

72
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: like not only are you trying to perform at the

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: highest level what you always do, but you're also trying

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to get that from the teammates around you. You're trying

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: to push those that are playing with you and against

76
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: you up in Westfield for a similar level here as

77
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: far as excellence is concerned, Is it kind of a

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: little bit of coaching is what you're doing as well

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: on the field? Yeah, for sure, because you know, um,

80
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: I was once you know, a young guy at one point,

81
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: and that I would like to you know, hear hear

82
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge from like a player like myself

83
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: or older player that's seen a lot of football. So

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I try to help him a lot of ways where

85
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: it's on the field, off the field, um, teaching them

86
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: how to you know, make plays, and um, you know

87
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: that's that's I think that's who we need in this game.

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: You know, we need guys to you know, talk to

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: each other and help him out, you know, on the

90
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: field and office field. Here Stefan Gilmore of the Colts

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: with us, did you have a impactful veteran teammate that

92
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: did the same with you, either in Buffalo or maybe

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: even in New England back in the day. I think, um,

94
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people helped me out in

95
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: my career. Um no, when I was younger. Now, I

96
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: kind of had like the safeties helping me out, like

97
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: Jarius Bird, guys like that. And uh, you know, once

98
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: I got to New England, they know David mccordy, you know,

99
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Patric Tongue, you know guys that have been there, they

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: played a lot of ballum and you know, and you

101
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: just you know, I've always told myself, you know, and

102
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: I get older, I'm gonna be the same way because

103
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, the game. It's not that hard, you know,

104
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: if you if you can take on the mental part

105
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: of it and make your job a lot easier. So

106
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: I try to help out a lot. I want to

107
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: talk about the mental part of it because you play

108
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: a position in which you have to have the shortest

109
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: of short memories. Because we know this NFL wise, it

110
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: is stacked. The deck is you know, leaning toward the offense,

111
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: and you've got to have a short memory. How long

112
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: did it take you to advance that thought in Buffalo

113
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: onto New England? How long did it take you to

114
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: get used to you know what? There are moments here

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: that you're not always going to come out on top,

116
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: and you have to forget about those moments. I think

117
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: I try to stay even kill, you know, even when

118
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: you're doing good, to kind of try to stay even

119
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: kill and um, you know, just keep a level head,

120
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, focus on the next play no matter what happened,

121
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: you know, as he just said to them. And I

122
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: think for my demeanor, you know, I try to stay

123
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: in the moment and try to take on each and

124
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: every moment. And I think that helped me out each

125
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: and every game and each and every year. I want

126
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: to get a couple of different angles. So stuff on,

127
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Gilmore of the Colts kind enough to join us on

128
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: the Andy Moore Automotive Group popline. Let's start with your

129
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: defensive teammates. What do you really like about the group

130
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: around you in that Colt secondary? I think a lot.

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: We got a lot of talent in the secondary. You know,

132
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: got safeties that can play the ball in the air

133
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: and come down in head. We got corners they can cover,

134
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: and they also not afraid to tackle. So I think

135
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: as a secondary we got a little bit of everything.

136
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: You know. We just gotta, you know, keep down and

137
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: down the communication and keep playing with each other because

138
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: you gotta a lot of new faces in the secondary,

139
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: some some been here, but you gotta once we gel together,

140
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, that's what it's about, jailing

141
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: together at the right time, being able to trust each other,

142
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: and I think our talents to take off from there.

143
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: I have a great deal of thought on what you

144
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: have teammate wise up front. I think that that is

145
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: at least on paper eyeball, and this is good of

146
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: a group upfront defensively, as you're going to find throughout

147
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. What do you think about what's in front

148
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: of you, certainly on the defensive line, and then how

149
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: can that help a secondary that might have a little

150
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: bit youth and obviously with you as well, that veteran

151
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: presence help you out longer term defensively this season, Yeah,

152
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: for sure, I think those guys are front. You know,

153
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: those guys are very talented. You know, they can you know,

154
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: stop the run. They can put pressure on the quarterback,

155
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, and they'll allow our job to be so

156
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: much easier. And then it goes hand in hand. You know,

157
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: we can play tight covers on the back end and

158
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: those guys getting at the quarterback stopping the run, and

159
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the scuys a limit with that,

160
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: and you know those guys, you know, you gotta appreciate

161
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: them because you know, those guys just those job is tough.

162
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: Our job is tough. But you know, if they can

163
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, be one of the best in the league,

164
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to help with donat stuff on

165
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: how good can this defense be collectively? In your opinion

166
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: this year? I think we can be good. But like

167
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm a person that always thinks you have to go

168
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: out and show it. You know, you have to earn

169
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: it um, you know, but you know, on paper, you know,

170
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: a lot like a lot of teams think they look good,

171
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: but you know, once you once you get out there,

172
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta show them and show the league

173
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: what you made up, you know. Stefan Gilmour joins us,

174
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: what are the things we talked about around here following

175
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: the cult for a number of years would be the

176
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. And obviously Michael Pittman Junior went over

177
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: a thousand yards a year ago. We know that what

178
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: he brings to the table. How have you how have

179
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: you looked at this wide receiving group, this past catching

180
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: group for the Colts in terms of maybe what the

181
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: average fan or a media media person doesn't see, what

182
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: have they impressed upon you? I think that a lot

183
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: of big receivers that can make you know, big catches

184
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: like you say, pig peers, Uh, you know, pc um.

185
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: You know a lot of guys that you know, it's

186
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: not um, you know, may not have a lot of height,

187
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: but those guys can make plays. And uh, you know,

188
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to those guys having a good year,

189
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, and uh coming out and doing what they're

190
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: capable of doing, you know, with Maddie Ice, you know,

191
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. I think it's going to be a good,

192
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: good thing going. Um. You bring up Alec Parish's a

193
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: rookie out of Cincinnati, a second round pick. You have

194
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: been at least early in camp going up against him

195
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: a great deal, are you. You're giving him a really

196
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: good sense of what to expect as a rookie trying

197
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: to get used to the NFL level at wide receiver. Yeah,

198
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: for sure. I try to, you know, make it hard

199
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: on them as much as I can. That's any receiver

200
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: that I go against, But you know, I try to,

201
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, talk to him and you know, play certain

202
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: techniques on them, just so you know, to make it

203
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: once again in the game come as easier. You know.

204
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to him, you know, stepping up, you know,

205
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie and making plays off of them. You've

206
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: been in the NFL at that position, which goes without saying,

207
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: is a great deal of achievements because that is a

208
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: position that that can be tough on folks. You're a

209
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: former NFL Defensive Player of the Year. But I'm curious,

210
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: was there a defining moment. Maybe it was in Buffalo,

211
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: maybe it was early on where you knew that you

212
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: could be this level of player. I mean maybe ultimately

213
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: this came back in college, But was there an NFL

214
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: defining moment where you thought, yep, this is me and

215
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: this is how good I can be. I think I

216
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: always knew since I got drafted the Buffalo. Um, you know,

217
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I played there five years. You know, I went through

218
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: three different coaches for different defensive coordinators, you know, and

219
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: I think I always made plays in Buffalo. But once

220
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: I got to New England, you know, everyone everyone pretty

221
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: much saw it, you know, and you know I was

222
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: able to win more games, you know, get more noted already.

223
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: I think so, Um, I think I always had it,

224
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: you know obviously, just you know, younger, you know, in

225
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo is trying to learn, you know, going through a

226
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: lot of different staff and stuff like that, and was

227
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: able to turn it over in New England. Um, it's

228
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: New England. It's different NFL wise as people say it

229
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: is or is that just a lot of conversation from

230
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: those that's never been on the inside of it, Like

231
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: you have different I think every every team has their

232
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,479
Speaker 1: you know, different things that they how they run their organization. Um,

233
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, place like that. You know, I think you know,

234
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: teach you a lot about football. You know, that's one

235
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: thing you know, I appreciate from it. And they tell

236
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: me a lot about the game and you know as

237
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: far as getting better and know what the offenses are doing,

238
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, being a smart football player. So um, you know,

239
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: I think everyone running the team differently. What do you

240
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: expect from this team this year? Overall? We talked about defensively,

241
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: what you expect? What do you expect from this team

242
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: to win? You know, that's the goal to win. You know,

243
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing that I want to do whatever

244
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: it takes. You know, you never know how the game

245
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: is going to go, but at the end of the

246
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: end of the quarter, just to make sure it's a

247
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: W on the column. So that's the thing that you know,

248
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: it really focused on, you know, whatever it takes to

249
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: it tough this dude, you've ever had to go up

250
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: against maybe past or present NFL player, right, Yeah? I

251
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: wondered too, and you can answer why. I think we

252
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: all understand why. But I like the fact that you

253
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: you gave me a player that's no longer in the

254
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: league because I assumed that you probably wouldn't give me

255
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: a player in the league right now, because you may

256
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: match up against them at some point. Yeah, correct, Yeah,

257
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: but I think Cameron is hardest cover. How big you

258
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: feels a clean you know? Yeah, everything he brought to

259
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: the game. All right, are you adapting to India? Okay?

260
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: How do you like things around here? Good? I like it.

261
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's just gonna jest it. Family like it.

262
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: So it's just a good I'm looking forward to, you know,

263
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: getting an idea a little more. I like it so far. Um,

264
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley defensive coordinator and the coaching staff something you

265
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: can get with. Has that been a pretty easy acclamation

266
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: process for you as well? It's good. You know, Gus

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: a great, great coach, coast a lot of great players,

268
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: and I think you know, he's going to allow us

269
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: to put us in a position to make plays, so

270
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to bring it out to the table.

271
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: He's on us every day. Yeah, that's a great thing.

272
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: I've said this constantly, and I know we live in

273
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: an era where everybody wants to talk about offense, offense

274
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: and offense. I can't wait to see you guys play.

275
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,120

334
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: once again returns with more NFL Conversation. It is the

335
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Gore Man and Casey Valier and from the NFL Network,

336
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: reporter Cameron wolf joins them. Fellas, let's talk now the

337
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network, Cam Wolfe joins us. We heard you earlier today,

338
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: and I want to touch on that about the presence

339
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: of what Matt Ryan brings to this camp. We got

340
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: to start there with the new quarterback in Obviously we've

341
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: had some you know, rotating doors the last two years

342
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: here when it comes to the quarterback position is so far,

343
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: So what have you seen out of Matt Ryan Netty

344
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: brings to this camp. Yeah, rotating doors is one way

345
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: to say it. Probably have more rounds in the carousel, right.

346
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for Matt Ryan is he's

347
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: been there, done that, and so it seems like everything's

348
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: business like here, whereas previous years it may have been

349
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: on a quarterback. Is he going to be the guy could?

350
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: Last year with Carson there were some things early in

351
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: the offseason about the vaccine that was kind of holding

352
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: on the storyline wise, So it seems like here it's

353
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: it's calm, it's kind of boring, which is which is

354
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Colts, and for Matt when

355
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: you look at him, consistency is the word that always

356
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: comes up. Ten straight years of four thousand plus yards

357
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: and twenty touchdounds, and so players here know this guy

358
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: has proven it. It's not a guy where you're hoping

359
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: he can prove it. You know he's done it. You

360
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: just hope that you can elevate your game to match it.

361
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: And so watching frank Reich's offense, he's gonna be a

362
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: great fit here. The timing based element. A lot of

363
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: times last season you watched them and they were going

364
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: off script a little bit more than I think Frank

365
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: Reich wanted to do. So I think it's gonna be

366
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot more timing base and that's where Matt Ryan thrives.

367
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: So I'm eager to see all the pieces together. There

368
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: are certainly questions about the receiving group, but I think

369
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in particular is one where they don't have to

370
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: worry about Elisa. In twenty twenty two, that's Cam Wolf

371
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: from the NFL Network. Follow him on Twitter at Cameron Wolf.

372
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: He's got to throw to somebody. Cam, He's got to

373
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: throw to somebody. A lot of people are talking about

374
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: that right that big elephant in the room right now,

375
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: led by Michael Pittman. In this receiver corps is a

376
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: young one, Matt Ryan, a veteran like that. Do you

377
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: like the mix with the young and the old? So

378
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: I do. I am worried about that number two receiver spot.

379
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's tough because nobody's done it, done it

380
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: yet right, And when you look at the guys their options.

381
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: None of those three guys, Alec Pierce, Paris Campbell, Ashton Dulan,

382
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: none of those guys even had two hundred receiving yards

383
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: in their career. And so you're hoping it's all hope

384
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: and potential, which every time you go to training camp,

385
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: everybody as hope until week one hits and it's like, wow,

386
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: it's all gone. And so I'm eager to see the rookie.

387
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I think he's probably your best shot for that true

388
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: number two receiver and Alec Pearson. So I know that

389
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: Matt Michael Pittman is going to be out there. I

390
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: think that he's a true number one receiver and I

391
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: think he could take even a bigger jump. But I'm

392
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: eager to see where is it. Pick up is in

393
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: Naheim Hines I know they've been running him in the

394
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: slot a lot. Can he take that that jump to

395
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: where he was early in his career getting sixty seventy

396
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: balls out of the game? Is it just a compilation

397
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: of all the other guys? How does it all pair

398
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: up when it's on the field. So Matt Ryan's gonna

399
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: cover a lot of things, but he's gonna need those

400
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: guys to step up, not drop passes, be where they

401
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: need to go, and really just be a fit for

402
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: what he wants in this offense. You bring up, you know,

403
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman junior, and we've seen, you know, kind of

404
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: that elevation from year one to year two. So he's

405
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: entering in year three and there's you know, there's a

406
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: there's I mean, there's a lot of pressure on him.

407
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: He's clearly the number one. When you look at him

408
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: and you say you think he's a number one, where

409
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: do you think you can see his game elevat? Yeah?

410
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: So I think when he came out of college, a

411
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: lot of people thought he was just a contested at guy.

412
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: I think there's been been more nuanced in this game.

413
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: You see his route running ability, you see the way

414
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: that he can take on number one corners and not

415
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: get discouraged. That's what you want to see from a

416
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: number one receiver. I think for him, the next step is,

417
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, I want to see all assets. I want

418
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: to see him consistently. Um if you you need to

419
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: run him out of the slot every play in a

420
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: game because you're trying to get him away from a

421
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: number one corner, Kenny, adjust this game week to week

422
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: on that. I want to see him, you know, not

423
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: to say he becomes a diva, but call for the

424
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: ball in specific situations. It's third down, Matt right, I'm

425
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: your guy, give me the rock. And so that comes

426
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: through through trust and really your overall command and your presence.

427
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: And so he did it last year. Now it's the

428
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: second year where you're you're proving that it wasn't a fluke.

429
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that you know, when people

430
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: have asked me, that's kind of what I say and

431
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to be the statistical thing. It's more of,

432
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, just being that accountable guy as that number one.

433
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: And speaking of accountability, one of the guys we saw

434
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: take a huge stride last year was Jonathan Taylor right backfield.

435
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: How much is that going to help. And Matt Ryan's

436
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: addition to this, well, Jonathan Taylor's definitely him. Like I mean,

437
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: I think you have arguments everywhere, but to me, he's

438
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: the best back in football. And when you look at um,

439
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: you know what he did last season. I think if

440
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: he got the same thing last year, not a cent over,

441
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: you would take that one hundred times out of a hundred.

442
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: But I want to see them become more diversified as offense.

443
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: Like as good as Jonathan Taylor was last season, they

444
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: became predictable late in season and we all saw what

445
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: happened Week eighteen. I think you get to a point

446
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: where you run a guy, you run a guy, you

447
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: run a guy. At some point you need your quarterback

448
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: and your passing game to carry it. And so he's

449
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: the one guy on this team I'm not worried about,

450
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: you know. I think as long as he stays healthy,

451
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: your offense is always going to be centered on him.

452
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: Since Frank Rereik has been here, you guys have been

453
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: able to run the ball very effectively. But my worry

454
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: is the other guys around him. I think for Jonathan Taylor,

455
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, I am interested to see if there's an

456
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: element in the passing game that he can do even more.

457
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: Because I'm intrigued at and I mentioned Nahem Hyans earlier,

458
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued at what they can do in games with

459
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: both of those guys on the field. And maybe if

460
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: those young receiver aren't able to step up, maybe you're

461
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: number two and number three receivers are Nahem Hies and

462
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. And so if you can establish those guys

463
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: and both elements the passing game in the run game,

464
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: that makes you a little bit more diverse. I know

465
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: JT's done done a good bit of it, but can

466
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: he even elevate more in that game? Maybe less rushes,

467
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: more passes. Maybe that could be an element that we

468
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: see in a new way from him. What about the

469
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: bulls eye though on his back? And let me explain,

470
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: obviously no superstars at the wide receiver possess a superstar

471
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan and a superstar and JT. They're saying,

472
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: am zero in this guy? What is it gonna take it?

473
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: Is it a fifty fifty year as far as passing

474
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: and runner? Is it sixty forty with the run verse

475
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: of pass? What do you like with this offense? And again,

476
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: these defensive coordinators saying, hey, we know we got a

477
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: little way to stop Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, every offense is

478
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: over fifty fifty at this point. Like, I don't think

479
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: there's any offenses that are more run than pass. But

480
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: I do think that they're going to be more balanced

481
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: towards the pass this season than previous years. Like I said,

482
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: I think last year they were predictable at times, and

483
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: particularly in a fourth quarter when you really needed to

484
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: grind it out, you knew they were just gonna hand

485
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: the ball off to Jonathan Taylor and let him get out.

486
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: I think what Matt Ryan adds is because you can

487
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: you can always from a defensive fan point, you always

488
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: have to know that he's a factor. And so a

489
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: lot of times with Carson Wentz, you knew that, whether

490
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: it's lack of trust or lack of consistency, they just

491
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: were not gonna put the ball in hand his hand

492
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: in certain situations. That lack of predictability I think will

493
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: help Jonathan Taylor. And you mentioned the bulls eye. The

494
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: guy works. I've seen him work. I'm not really worried

495
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: about him. And you know, the hubbleness or if he'd

496
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: becoming too big. You know, I'm pretty sure he didn't

497
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: really care about him being the number one Fantasy football

498
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: guy that everybody's picking up on. But I think I

499
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: think the thing for him, like all backs, is staying healthy.

500
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: Running back year to year is only based on health.

501
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: We saw with Derrick Henry last year. He two thousand

502
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: and two thousand and then you get hurt and then

503
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, well it's just the end. Well, Jonathan Taylor,

504
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: if you stay healthy, you're gonna be in that same

505
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: conversation year and year again. So the only thing I'm

506
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: worried about with JT is staying healthy. Cameron Wolf on

507
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: Twitter following their cam flipp through the other side of

508
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: the ball real quick. How valuable is the addition to

509
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: Gosh Bradley this year to this superstar laden defense. Now

510
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: it's a huge factor because when you look at the secondary,

511
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: it's a completely different group. And so I've watched down

512
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: here one on one, Stephon Gilmore going against some of

513
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: these guys, and you see some of these new additions

514
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: like Gus Bradley. His reputation throughout the league is aggression,

515
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: and he's had that whether he's been in Jacksonville, whether

516
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: he's being been in Seattle, and so you're hoping that

517
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: he brings that same mentality turnovers. Last year they were

518
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: number two. But the thing you always say about turnovers

519
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: is hard to duplicate, like, how do you guarantee you're

520
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna have thirty three turnovers again? Well, if you're aggressive again,

521
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: the ball finds you. And so maybe it's not thirty three.

522
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: But I like his mentality and how he goes about defenses.

523
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: The pieces are there. You know, we got DeForrest Buckner here,

524
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: you trade for a Yannick and gotway, you got stuff

525
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: on Gilmour, so you know you have that veteran talent.

526
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: For me, I haven't seen Shack Leonard out there. Yeah. Yeah,

527
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: that that you know, And that's a question mark for me.

528
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: I actually just got done talking with Chris Baller a

529
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: little bit. That was one of my first questions. I'm like,

530
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: what's going on? Man? And and and I'm not sure

531
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: how much he shared, but I think their view is

532
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: he'll be back here eventually. You know, we don't see

533
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: it as a long term injury, like he's gonna miss

534
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: the whole season, But there doesn't seem to be a

535
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: set timetable like we expect him back week one. So

536
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of worried there. But I think you'll

537
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: see Shack Leonard at some point in twenty twenty two.

538
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: We'll just see what it is. Now you mentioned Stefon Gilmore,

539
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the other guy in the corner

540
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: of the room and Kenny Moore. What's that national vibe

541
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: of Kenny Moore. We know what he means here in Indianapolis.

542
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the fan favorites, but that

543
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: national aspect, it does he get enough do for what

544
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: he does on the field. Yeah, that's tough credit wise, right,

545
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: because a lot of times you just see the top

546
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: ten corners, and those are the guys who get the love.

547
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: The consistent guys, the guys who don't give up the

548
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: big players but don't have ten interceptions don't always get

549
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: that love. I think that if you people will truly

550
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: inside football of value, wearriers, coaches, they respect him. The fans.

551
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a lot of national fans

552
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: who know who Kenny Moore is outside of Indianapolis. But

553
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: that comes through winning. If you're winning, if you're a

554
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: team that's gonna be consistently in the playoffs, and deep

555
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you're gonna get be on TV a lot.

556
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: And when you're on TV a lot, people notice players.

557
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 1: So I don't think he has to become a ten

558
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: interception guy for them, for him to become one of

559
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: the best corners in the league. I think for him,

560
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: the team has to win, the defense has to rise,

561
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: and through that you'll notice who the guys are on

562
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: the team. Cam Wolf right there, can you bounce around

563
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: the AFC South with me? Real quick? Let's let you

564
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: get out of here. What's going on in Jacksonville? Obviously

565
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: year two for Trevor Lawrence. We know what's going on

566
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: in Tennessee with the King up there, Houston. We're opening

567
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: up week one with what does the rest of the

568
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: AFC South like? So I actually started my training camp

569
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: tour in Jacksonville, and the biggest thing I noticed there

570
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: is that players were happy not to take any shots there.

571
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: But but guys were really clear, like publicly about how

572
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: different it is with Urban Meyer gone and Doug Peterson there,

573
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: and so it's a new breath of fresh energy energy

574
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: with Doug Peterson there. Look, I don't think there are

575
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: all of a sudden going to become a from a

576
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: three win team to a thirteen win team. But I

577
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: do think they'll be better. I think Trevor Lawrence will

578
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: be closer to the guy that we saw at a

579
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Clemson Doug Peterson, as a guy who's been a quarterback expert,

580
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: and so I was already seeing them in practice having

581
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: some of their side conversations, working on different elements of

582
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: the game, and so I think that Trevor Lawrence is

583
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna be good there. The other thing is Travis Eten

584
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: is back for them, and he was the most impressive

585
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: guy per field when I was there in training camp

586
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: coming off that Liz Frank injury. I don't know if

587
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: they should have paid Christian Kirk as much money if

588
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: they should have, but I do know that Travis Eten

589
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: is gonna be one or number two on Trevor Lawrence's

590
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: top weapons. So I think that Jacksonville is gonna be

591
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: a lot better than last season. We talk about the

592
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: other teams. Tennessee is a very intriguing spot there because

593
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: they've won the AFC South for two straight years. But there,

594
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little shaky ground there. They traded

595
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: A J. Browne and so he was their guy outside

596
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: of Derek Henry, but that guy in the passing game,

597
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: and they've replaced him with Treylon Burkes, who's had mixed

598
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: reviews this offseason. Earlier, there was questions about his conditioning

599
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: and work ethic. When I was there a few days ago,

600
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: they were talking about since training camp, he's been in

601
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: great shape and he's looked good. So we'll see when

602
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: the regular season's there. But I know that he's not

603
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna be able to replace a J. Brown by himself

604
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: from week one. So that's a lot of pressure once

605
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: again on Derreck Henry. We talk about it with JT here.

606
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: You don't once you're running back to carry the whole

607
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: of you don't want everything on his shoulder. And so

608
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: I am a little worried that Tennessee is vulnerable and

609
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: maybe that's an opportunity for the colst side of a

610
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: little bit of pressure on tannehill shoulder exact exactly the

611
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: last year of his guaranteed contract here. So they drafted

612
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: Malik Willis there in the third round. He's still got

613
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: a ways to go. He's not gonna be a threat

614
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, but in twenty twenty three, and

615
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: then maybe that's the time where he could take over

616
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: if Tannehill doesn't prove to be the guy. And briefly

617
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: about the Texans, I think that obviously they're the team

618
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: that's quote unquote bottom of the division, but I like

619
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith as a coach, and I think that although

620
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: the talent isn't there, I think they'll play hard and

621
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: I think they'll be better than they were last year.

622
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: There's still two or three years away from being able

623
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: to compete in this division, but I do think that

624
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: they'll have the right culture to be able to maybe

625
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: be a five or six one team sneak up on

626
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't prepare the right way on a given Sunday.

627
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: That was great. If you want more of that, follow

672
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: very interested to see how this is going to work.

673
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: Out defensively. In the off season, Chris Ballard of the

674
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: Colts acquired via trade Yanniken Goquay, the first legitimate edge

675
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: rusher we have seen around here since Robert mathis the

676
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: voice of the Colts. Matt Taylor and the Goreman had

677
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: the opportunity to catch up with the guy that I

678
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see play defensively this year, Fellas, go ahead, well,

679
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: I like to applaud Chris Ballard every chance I can get,

680
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: and it starts with this young man, Yannik and Gotway.

681
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to Indianapolis. We have been fearing you for years

682
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: playing in Jacksonville and now we're all on the same team.

683
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: The first thought you have when you came here for

684
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: the first time in Indianapolis. You know about the rivalry,

685
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 1: it's a division foe and everything when you were with

686
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: your time in Jacksonville. But coming in and we've seen

687
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: what you've done so far. But those first days, what

688
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: was that like saying Hey, I'm in Indianapolis cold oh man,

689
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: it just feels super super great. And first of all,

690
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: I thank you guys for having me, but uh, you know,

691
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: being in the FC saft with super special to me.

692
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: Getting drafted into there, you know, being a Jaguar first,

693
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: but being able to just you know, reinto the conference

694
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: with the help of Chris Bradley to be a colde.

695
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: It just means a lot to me. And I just

696
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: love the culture here, the humility here, the fan base

697
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 1: is just super super super electric. So I'm just blessed.

698
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: You're one of the most popular coach early on in

699
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: camp and one of the newest as well. We'll get

700
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: to your off the field stuff in a minute. But

701
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: playing for Gus Bradley again, that had to be a

702
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: draw coming to Indianapolis. What does he bring to this defense?

703
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: That's right, What does a coordinator bring to your defense?

704
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley brings a lot of humility. And this guy

705
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: I've seen through the highs and the lows, you know,

706
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: him being my head coach my rookie year in twenty sixteen,

707
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: we didn't have a really good season, and I can

708
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: just tell like he puts everything on himself. He doesn't

709
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: put nothing on the players, and it's super hard to

710
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: find guys like that. And then also in a defensive perspective,

711
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: he's just he's just a genius. He's a guru at it.

712
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: He allows guys to just play free, play fast. We

713
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: don't have too many responsibilities, and it's it's never holes

714
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: on our defense if we execute it properly. Unique, you've

715
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: been a part of this defense for most of your career,

716
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: like you said, Gus Bradley and Jacksonville with the Raiders

717
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: and now here with the Colts. Yes, sir, what is

718
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: it about him and his scheme that allows you to

719
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: just play at your best? Yeah? Absolutely. You know certain

720
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: schemes you have to read the offensive tackle, which you

721
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: can slow down the defense defensive ends. So coach Gussie

722
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: always emphasizes get off on the ball and everything else

723
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: will come to you. So if you get off on

724
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: the ball, sometimes if it's a run play, you'll be

725
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: able to make a TfL. If it's a pass play,

726
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: you're already in your track to be able to get

727
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. So he just allows a defensive lineman

728
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: in particular that be in my position to just be

729
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: able to be free and go eat. Do you realize

730
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: the tone that you're setting within this defense? Do you

731
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: realize how much you're rubbing off on the rest of

732
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: your teammates with the way that you play and your attitude.

733
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: I just try to be a servant leader, you know

734
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: what I mean, not just on the field, but off

735
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: the field, you know, helping out the younger guys and

736
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: any questions they have from an open book going into

737
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: my seventh season, So you know, any any kind of

738
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: tips I can give my guys, I'm going to do

739
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: it because ultimately, if our weakest leakers is strong, we'll

740
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: all be tightenit group. That's unique and gagway with us

741
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: Colts defensive end. You've been in other camps. How does

742
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: this camp in terms of intensity and the schedule, just

743
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: how does it? How does it rank for you? So? Oh,

744
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: this is the number one camp for me. I'm not

745
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: just saying that because I'm a cope. Honestly, Coach Frankie

746
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: does a great, great job, but taking care of our bodies.

747
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: We go out, we go out, we practice hard, we

748
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: practice smart, we practice quick, and we get back inside.

749
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's that just tells you that's a guy

750
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: that's a former player that understands the eights and the

751
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: pains that we go through to allow us to be

752
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: fresh so we can head into week one with no injuries.

753
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: What's the goal of this defense? As a whole. Listen

754
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: to me, Gilmore on the back side, DeForest, Partner down, low,

755
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: yourself off the edge, Shack Leonard behind you, superstars everywhere.

756
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: What does it look like for you guys as a

757
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: defensive group. But what are some goals you're setting for yourself?

758
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: I want us to be the number one defense and

759
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: all categories at least top five, And if we're a

760
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: top five defensive all categories, I feel like the percentage

761
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: of us making the playoffs is extremely higher. Coach Frank

762
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: went about percentages, and you know, guys that have been

763
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: in the top eight third down defenses have allowed their

764
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: team to be in a higher position to be able

765
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs. The minute you walked into

766
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: the facility, you became a team leader. That's just with you.

767
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: That's your persona, that's your aura. Now you bring that

768
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: on the field with the young guys. You're also part

769
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: coach out here. I just feel like, like I said,

770
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: man learning from guys like Calais Campbell, it was a

771
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: blessing to have him walk in my career because he

772
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: showed me the way that you should walk as a man,

773
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: how you should walk as a teammate and how you

774
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: how you should walk as a brother. So I just

775
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: try to like take what I learned from him and

776
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: just implementing the young guys so when I'm old, these

777
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: guys can just pass it down and give it back

778
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: and pay it forward. Unique A lot of these players

779
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: in the Colts defense, not all of them, but some

780
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: of them are learning this defense for the first time.

781
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: We're playing within it for the first time. You've thrived

782
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: in it, You've seen it at its highest level under

783
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley. How close is the Colts defense to operating,

784
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: you know, at maximum level heading into the regular season.

785
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: I feel like we're already there. I feel like just

786
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: from watching this last practice, we're all becoming one. And

787
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: that's from the back end all the way to the front.

788
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: And I'm just proud of those guys. Proud of guys

789
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: like face On, Kenny Moore, Gilly guys like that. These

790
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: guys lock them people down. And also one thing that

791
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: really stands out to me is a defense is the communication,

792
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: the pre huddle communication. Zez. He's on a great job

793
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: of just you know, getting guys in plays in position

794
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: to be able to be effective. What's it like facing

795
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan day in and day out. There's a future

796
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Absolutely may have another one in number

797
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight in the backfield. Oh yeah, man, Matt. He's

798
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: just one of the most humble guys you'll meet. But

799
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: I love his fierceness and his competitiveness, his competitive toughness.

800
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: It shows each and every day in practice, and he

801
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: helps guys, you know, through adversity. I see him picking

802
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: up alignment, picking up running backs and allowing them to

803
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: be able to feel free. Yeah, I'll tell you what.

804
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: I had a nice moment yesterday, may Tay. I want

805
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: to tell you about it. I met your mom three

806
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: years ago in the corner of the end zone where

807
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: I do my thing on game days, and she was

808
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: born in your jersey, Jacksonville, Jersey. I said, you look

809
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: like a proud, proud relative. She said, that's my baby

810

Speaker 1: out there. So we talked for the next five minutes,

811

Speaker 1: set and give me different looks. And I'm a guy

874
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: that can give him a different look from lining up

875
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: super tight or lining up super wide against him. But

876
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,680

Speaker 1: just looked up at the Scott and I just started laughing,

919
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: like I was just like, ain't no way, Like I

920
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: mean on the carpet, I look as well, yes, oh man,

921
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: Like the first thing I did, me and Ab you know,

922
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: we like cracked a laugh because I was just like,

923
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: there's no way, like this just happen. But I mean

924
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm not really like a like yeah yeah, but I

925
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: gave you back up, so I was like, oh my god,

926
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: Like I'm not really a sad guy. So I mean,

927
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: I guess at the moment I could do, it was

928
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: just like laugh Like I was just looking at it.

929
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, work in front of you,

930
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: that happening I looked at. I was just like, well,

931
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: let's just get back rehabing. Radio. Like it didn't really

932
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: phase me until like I got out of surgery and

933
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: I was like yo, like I'm at home in the bed,

934
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: like this is real. And again that undecided about what's

935
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: going to happen next year. But the Colts come calling,

936
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: and you continue to rehab. When you're healthy, you make

937
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: plays on the field this season, what's it mean to you?

938
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: You know, I had the same approach as last year.

939
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just excited. I'm ready to go to work.

940
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: You know, like any any of everything I could do

941
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: to contribute, you know, like I just want to be

942
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: a factor man, like not really hitter, like be like

943
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: bost who I am, or like overcoming the injury is

944
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: it's just already happening. Let's get back to work, like

945
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: let's let's let's go. That's Taekwon Lewis. Now before we

946
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: talk about the new defense with Gus Bradley instead of

947
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus, I want to talk about your new position

948
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: coach in Nate Ali. What's your relationship with him? You know,

949
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: he's a young guy, so I mean we click a

950
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: little better than older guy. But you know, it's like

951
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: he's a great guy, like energetic, you know, he's always going.

952
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I see youth, you know, so, but

953
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's a great guy. You know he believes

954
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: what he preaches. That's the main thing, Like, you know,

955
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: having a coach that believes what he what he talks about,

956
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, and still in the players, like because if

957
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: your coach doesn't believe it, then who am I to

958
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: believe it? You know what I'm saying. Okay, Gush Bradley

959
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: comes in. His system is different from Eberflus. Is it similar?

960
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: Do you like playing for Gush Bradley. Is it similar

961
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: to Eberflus, you know, the Rob Rod type. He's gonna

962
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: chew you a new one if you're not doing the

963
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: right thing on the field, right. I mean, it's it's

964
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: it's all kind of you know, similar, but I mean

965
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: different principles. I guess you know. This is more attack, attack,

966
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: attack upfield, you know, hit you in the mouth, you know,

967
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: versus last year. I mean it was still attack, but

968
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: it was I guess you could say like more like

969
00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: gap disciplined, like as far as like you know, as

970
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: far as like displaying how we do it now versus

971
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: then like now it's all right, we're gonna hit the

972
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit the gaps in ways of four and

973
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna come behind us and clean it up. We're

974
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: getting off the ball every single play. Also another edition

975
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: by Trade is unique and Gaway. What does he bring

976
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: to the defensive line room. He brings a tremendous amount

977
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: of pass trash, you know, I mean the upside the

978
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: things he does is like it's a thing of beauty,

979
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, just watching how consistent he does, like the moves,

980
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, he he doesn't like go out here and

981
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: try to like create a new like move or anything.

982
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: He does everything he's like that. He's shown day in

983
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: and day out, And I mean it's it's appreciative to watch. Hey,

984
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: you gotta work to stay in this league. Who gave

985
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: you that mindset? Who showed you now and and and

986
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: that every day, even though some days you don't even

987
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: want to show up at practice. You gotta come in

988
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: and you gotta be one hundred mile an hour. I

989
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: would be lying if I if I could say, like

990
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: anyone else in the world, But I mean, then a

991
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: part of this team. Man, that's the main thing. Like you.

992
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: It's not it's not necessarily like oh, this teammate, that

993
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: teammate or this family member of no one. It has

994
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: to be you. You have to want to do it.

995
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: That's the way I look at it, Like I'm not

996
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: looking for any handouts, any pass on the back, man,

997
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking to work, you know. And I think it's

998
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: just a mindset thing, like these guys come to work

999
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: every day ready to go. Like That's what I'm saying.

1000
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: And if if I don't do it myself, then I

1001
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: can't depend on anyone else to pick me up. Because

1002
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, those zudes there, they're not looking for pick

1003
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: me ups, you know, so like and we're all in

1004
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: this together. It's all on it. We're all in the

1005
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: same grind, you know. And I think that's what make

1006
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: it like so so competitive. And I think that's what

1007
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: makes us like so tight knited because grow challenges us

1008
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: and you know, Buck, everybody challenges We all have a

1009
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: challenge with each other, and like we're all like just

1010
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: trying to compete, and I thrive with competition, Like I'm

1011
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: you know, it gets down to the native grid and

1012
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: you're like, man, like I gotta be the best of me.

1013
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: I can't be nobody else, but I gotta be the

1014
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: best of me. Give me the expectations. Defensively for this

1015
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: talented group, we want to be the best defense all around.

1016
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: We want to take the ball away. I want to

1017
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: takeaways everything you can think of, everything ever, we want

1018
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: every we want to be the best total defense. You know,

1019
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: Like at the end of the year, it's, hey, how

1020
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: far can we really go? Can we really reach the top?

1021
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: You know without Snoop saying, you know, we're going to

1022
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: the moon, Like we seriously have to go to the moon.

1023
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: And in order to do that, we had to stop

1024
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: the round. We gotta take the ball away, and we

1025
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,520
