Speaker 1: chustment of the ball is by cal.

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: What's up?

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Everyone?

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: Welcome into another episode of Instant Reaction here in the

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Colts Audio Network. I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined every week by

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Colt's Ring of Honor wide receiver Bill Brooks.

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: Bill.

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 2: Today the Colts snap a three game losing streak. They

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: win twenty seven to thirteen over the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte.

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: I just got back from North Carolina.

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: Bill.

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: We are taping this late on Sunday night. It'll probably

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: be out for our listeners Monday morning. But Bill, this

23
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: is a game that to me is defined by one

24
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: thing and really one person, and that is Kenny Moore.

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: The second coming up with two pick sixes, he becomes

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: the first player in Colt's history to have two pick

27
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: sixes or two defensive touchdowns, by the way in a

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: single game. And Bill just knowing Kenny the way that

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: you do, the way that we all kind of do

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: here to me, I wrote this on Colts dot com.

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: It was another remarkable chapter in a remarkable story that

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore the second has been writing and is still

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: writing with the Colts to pull off the game like

34
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: he had today to end the Colts losing streak.

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, as young man has come in and he's worked hard.

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: I mean last year wasn't the year that he really wanted,

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: and he would tell you that that he thought he

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: should have had a better year last year. And he

39
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: came in this year with the something to prove, not

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: to everyone else but to himself that he play at

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: a high level. And the young man that's been just

42
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: working hard being a leader out there on the football field,

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: not just from a physical standpoint, but also from a

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: mental standpoint, studying film watching, getting better and helping the

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 3: young guys out. And you know, not just so much

46
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: telling young guys what to do, but just showing what

47
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 3: you should do as a veteran to prepare for each

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: and every week in the National Football League, and you know,

49
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: some weeks, you know, you just don't get the numbers

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: because maybe you don't have the opportunities. But eventually it's

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: going to come your way. When the opportunity comes your

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: way to make a play, you're gonna have to make

53
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: a play. And Ken he did that today. He made

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: two big plays with the pick sixers for himself and

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: for the defense and to help this coach team to

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: break that three game losing streak. And he played well

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: today along with a lot of other guys on defense.

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get into some of those other guys. But Bill,

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: opposing quarterbacks when they target kennymore the second this year,

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: they have a sixty nine point five passer rating. The

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: lowest passer rating for a regular starting quarterback in twenty

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: twenty three is seventy point five. That would be Daniel

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: Jones of the New York Giants. So quite literally, Bill,

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: when a quarterback targets Kenny Moore in coverage, that quarterback

65
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: plays like the worst quarterback in the NFL. That is

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: what Kenny Moore is doing. Two opposing quarterbacks this year,

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: whether it and it's not. You know, he's three three

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: interceptions is one thing, but the tackling that he has,

69
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: he doesn't allow yack. You know, if you look at

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: he gave up five catches today against the Panthers according

71
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: to Pro Football Focus, but three of those came when

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: it was twenty seven to thirteen, so you only gave

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: up two catches when the game was still kind of

74
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: in question. He's just he's You mentioned the twenty twenty

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: two season, Bill, and that feels so far in the

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: rear view mirror. That feels so much like a blip

77
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: on the radar in Kenny's career as opposed to the

78
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: start of a trend for Kenny, and that is a

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: testament to the work that he put in from the

80
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: moment he arrived back in Indianapolis in April for Rotiers.

81
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: I remember talking to some people around the building Bill

82
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: who all told me, this is like June, like Kenny's

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: going to be really good this year. They saw it

84
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: back then, and that is exactly what we are seeing

85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: now halfway through the twenty twenty three season.

86
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he came into the building this year, he

87
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: had a laser focus on working to get better, and

88
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: not just for himself but for the defense as well,

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: and I'm sure he felt a little bit more comfortable

90
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: in the defense being the second year in the defense

91
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: of Gus Bradley. And you know what, when he goes

92
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: out there, he plays very, very aggressive, and for him

93
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: to play aggressive, it helps him be the person that

94
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: he wants to be, or be the leader he wants

95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: to be out there in the football fi he has

96
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: tight coverage, you very rarely see the man that Kenny

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: has has much separation at all. And Kenny is not

98
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: only there just to pick the ball off, but he's

99
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: broke up a lot of passes as well, and to me,

100
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: those are big plays for the defense. And as you

101
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, JJ, tackling, I mean people don't people always

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: look at defensive backs or either getting interceptions or breaking

103
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: up a play, knocking the ball down, recovering the fumble,

104
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: things like that. But to me, tackling is a huge

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: thing for defensive backs because a lot of times did

106
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 3: a last resort to stopping people from getting first downs,

107
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: from getting big runs, getting touchdowns. And Kenny's done a

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 3: nice job of tackling people, I mean not just receivers,

109
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: but tackling running backs coming out of the backfield and

110
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: also putting pressure on quarterbacks, sometimes coming off the slot

111
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: and blitzing and hopefully making a sack and hitting the quarterback.

112
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: So Kenny does a lot out there on the football

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: field for the defense, and especially from that nickel position

114
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: covering the slot wire receivers. I'm just doing a nice

115
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: job out there for the defense.

116
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: So the Colts defense today allows three point nine yards

117
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: per play. That's two hundred and seventy five yards on

118
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: seventy one plays. Carolina goes seven to sixteen on third down,

119
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: and even those numbers, Bill, are a little bit juiced

120
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: by kind of the end of the game. Yes, it

121
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: was better than that. The thing that I want to

122
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: talk about here is we kind of move on from Kenny.

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: This defense set a tone early in the game that

124
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: I think had been kind of missing in recent weeks.

125
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: On Carolina's first four drives of the game, they ran

126
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: fourteen plays and gained eleven yards. That's good for zero

127
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: point eight yards per play. And in that Bryce Young

128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: completed three of six passes for ten yards and was

129
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: sacked twice. I think Bill, those four drive to begin

130
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: the game had a cumulative effect on the rest of

131
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: this game for the Colts defense. Because you look at

132
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: on the fifth drive, that was when Kenny had his

133
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: first pick six, and DeForest Buckner was all over the backfield.

134
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: He was, you know, chasing Bryce Young down like a banshee.

135
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: You had Eric Johnson and Quinny pay getting in there

136
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: on a sack. You had just tons and tons of

137
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: pressure and good coverage and good tackling that Eventually it

138
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: kind of felt like Bryce Young was going to force something,

139
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: he was going to make a mistake under pressure. And

140
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened. When Isaiah Land and Jake Martin

141
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: rotational defensive ends, collapsed the pocket on Bryce Young. He

142
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: tries to throw, you know, kind of throws a bit

143
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: of a floater and Kenny picks it off. But I

144
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: thought that first those first four drives in the first

145
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: half really just set the tone for this being a

146
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: game where the Colts defense could really kind of put

147
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: their foot down on Carolina's offense.

148
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the credit to the whole defense and

149
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: what they did to the Carolina Panthers going out there

150
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: and stopping them. I think, on if I'm not mistaken,

151
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: the first three of the first four drives, I think

152
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: they went three and out. I'm not mistaken, and that

153
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: says a lot about the defense. You know, they came

154
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: out with the mission that they wanted to set a

155
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: tone that the defensive front is going to put some

156
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: pressure on the quarterback. The defensive front's going to slow

157
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: down and stop the run, and they're going to do

158
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: that in concert with the secondary meaning to stop the pass.

159
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: So they're going to get pressure on the quarterback and

160
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: make sure that they get to the quarterback so the

161
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 3: guys in the back there, the defensive backs can stick

162
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: with those receivers and stay with them and not give

163
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: Bryce Young any room to throw the ball and also

164
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: put pressure on Bryce Young for him to get the

165
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: ball out quick. So kudos to the defense, Kudos to

166
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: the defensive front for what they did and putting pressure

167
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: on Bryce Young and all so doing good job against

168
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: the run of the Carolina Panthers.

169
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you look at the first half. It

170
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: go for Carolina. They punted on each of their first

171
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: four possessions and one of those is the muffed punt

172
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: that Isaiah Mackenzie lost. Carolina recovers that at their own

173
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: forty eight and you're thinking, okay, you know, this is

174
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: kind of a shot for Carolina to get some points here, and.

175
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: They don't.

176
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: They gain a net of one yard after that punt.

177
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: So great job by the Colts defense in that situation

178
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: to kind of you know, turn things around and you know,

179
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 2: you feel like you got off field, you got a

180
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: three and out and then you got to go right

181
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: back out there. That that was really impressive to me

182
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: build that possession. But again, like you know, Bryce Young

183
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: didn't have he didn't have a ton of time to throw,

184
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: and the pressure in a lot of cases came up

185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: the middle and on a quarterback of bright and no

186
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: quarterback likes pressure up the middle, right, But exactly when

187
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: you're Bryce Young's stature, I kind of feel like it's

188
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: almost worse in that because when Bryce Young can't step

189
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: into throws, you know, you look at we've seen Anthony

190
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: Richardson play here, Anthony Richardson his incredible natural arm talent.

191
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: Bryce Young can make those throws, certainly, but when he

192
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: can't step into them and really let him rip, that's

193
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: when you see kind of those kind of floating ducks

194
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: like Kenny picked off exact in both of those instances.

195
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: Exactly, and not just floating ducks. Bossle when he tries

196
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: to throw it sidearm. You have the guys in his

197
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: face and he's trying to find an angle or window

198
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: to get the ball out so the ball won't get

199
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: battered down and try and get it to the receivers.

200
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes he throws the side arm, and you know what

201
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 3: those are the players a lot of times like get

202
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: picked off or you know, if someone can them down,

203
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: and you know, the forest had a couple of balls

204
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: batter down today, so you know, getting in the face

205
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: of Bryce Young. So those are the things that Those

206
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: are problems that the defensive line causes when they get

207
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: pressure up the middle. The guy doesn't People don't like

208
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: to have pressure in their face. They want to be

209
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: able to see downfield. And as you mentioned, because of

210
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: Bryce's stature not being all that tall, makes a difficult

211
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: a lot of times for him to see down the field.

212
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you got guys getting in his face and

213
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: putting the hands up. It makes even that more complicated

214
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: for the quarterback to complete the passes. So give the

215
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: defensive front some credit, give the whole defense some credit.

216
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: They did a nice job of actually putting pressure on

217
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: Bryce Young and also stepping up when they had to

218
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 3: when like you said, when Isaam McKenzie muff the punt

219
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: returned there and they recovered. Defense went out there and

220
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: did their job. You know, Carolina got a good field position,

221
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 3: but it didn't make a difference. The defense went out there,

222
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: did their job and they did that all day. They

223
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: just wanted to put pressure on Bryce Young. They wanted

224
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: to cover the receivers tight, and they did that and

225
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 3: they got some turnovers. They got three turnovers today, which

226
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: is a big plus for the defense, creating turnovers and

227
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 3: giving the offense and opportunity to score some points.

228
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: Brayce Young was pressured on eighteen of his forty eight

229
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: dropbacks today. When he was under pressure, he went seven

230
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: to twelve for thirty four yards, two interceptions, four sacks.

231
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: He did scramble twice, but that was a pass yards

232
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: per attempt of two point eight and a passer rating

233
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: of twenty three point six when he was under pressure.

234
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: So that was working. And this was a game where

235
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: it kind of felt like again early on, the Colts

236
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: got that pressure going, and then the defense as a whole.

237
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: You saw the coverage play really well in concert with

238
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: that pressure, helping lead to some of those pressures. And

239
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: then you saw Kenny get in there, Saguna, Loubi got

240
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: an interception late in the game.

241
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

242
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: I think that this was a game where the coverage

243
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: in the pass rush worked as well together as we

244
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: have seen all season.

245
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what you want. You just want the

246
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: guys you you know, you want, you want. You know,

247
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: we talk about complimentary football meeting offense, defense, special teams

248
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: playing together, but you also want to see that on

249
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: on a on one unit where the defensive line and

250
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: the secondary and the linebackers are all playing together and

251
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: you know it goes hand in hand and those guys

252
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: are working well together. So it's it's nice to see.

253
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: And when you have a unit working together like that,

254
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: a lot of good things come out of it. You know,

255
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: as we say, Kenny getting those interception to pick sixers

256
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: for a touchdown, of Loubie getting the ball back to

257
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: the offense as well, give them the opportunity to go

258
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: down and score, but didn't need to score because at

259
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: the end of the game. So it was nice to

260
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: see the defense work like that. And you know what,

261
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: they've played aggressive all year, but today they looked like

262
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: they were playing real fast out there in the football

263
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: field and looked like the Panthers didn't just did not

264
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: have a lot of room to do a lot of

265
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: different things as far as running the ball, and also

266
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: when receivers did catch the ball, having much room to

267
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: run after the catch. I think there was one long

268
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: pass to the tight end. I think it the Hers

269
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: that was he was wide open, and I think on

270
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: the touchdown pass that they had they had so that

271
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: was only two plays to me that right off the

272
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: top of my head I can think of that. You know,

273
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: they had someone open and they made a play out

274
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: of it. So give the defense credit. They did a

275
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: good job. Nice job, and you know it's nice. It's

276
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: nice to have the defense kind of, so to speak,

277
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: pick up the offense, you know, the offense. Yeah, of course,

278
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure they wanted to, you know, score some more

279
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: points themselves. They wanted to run the ball, I'm sure

280
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: a little bit better than what they did and and

281
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: just have some more yards in general. But you know what,

282
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: that happens in the National Football League. Sometimes it just

283
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: doesn't happen that way, and sometimes you need a team

284
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: or a unit, I should say, to pick up the

285
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: other unit and give the defense credit. They picked up

286
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: the offense tonight.

287
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: Darrel Baker Junior today, we didn't hear his name much.

288
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: Nope.

289
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: He played forty eight steps in coverage, which is every

290
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: single one of Bryce Young's dropbacks. This, this to me,

291
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: really stood out Bill So in the four games that

292
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: Darrel Baker Junior has played in m HM, he allowed

293
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: against Jacksonville in Week one, fourteen point eight yards per reception,

294
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: against Houston in Week two, eighteen point three yards per

295
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: reception against Cleveland, in Week seven, fourteen point three yards

296
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: per reception against the Panthers in Week nine, four point

297
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: eight yards per reception. This was a This wasn't just

298
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: a yeah, we didn't notice Daryl Baker. This was a

299
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: good gamed, a straight up good game from Darryl Baker.

300
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: And you really like to see that where obviously you

301
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: hope Juju Brans can get back as soon as possible,

302
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: but from a confidence building standpoint, this to me feels

303
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: like a really important game for Darryl Baker. And you know,

304
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: whatever decision the Colts are going to go with at

305
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: that outside corner spot until Juju Brans is ready to

306
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: come back and play.

307
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a player, you know a lot of times

308
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: the biggest thing for a player a lot of times

309
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: is confidence and opportunities. And if a player loses confidence,

310
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: that can mean a world to a player, and it

311
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: could be very crushing for the player and hard for

312
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: the player to get out there and you know, prove

313
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: to your teammates, proved to the coaches that you deserve

314
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: to be out there, because you might not feel like

315
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 3: you deserve to be out there yourself. But if you

316
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: can have confidence, and I don't I don't think Darryl

317
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: Bicker lost any confidence for himself. But if he has

318
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: the confidence and continues to go out there and play,

319
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: you know, good things is going to happen. And it showed,

320
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: you know, in this game here the statue just read

321
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: off that the young man out there and played hard

322
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: and hopefully he had not lost any confidence. And hopefully

323
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: if he did this game right here can show himself

324
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: that he could that this game should show to him

325
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 3: that you know, he's he's he's got the talent to

326
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: play in the National Football League. He can go out

327
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: there and play when a called upon, and he's a

328
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 3: good football player and he just needs to realize that

329
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: and continue to do the things that got him to

330
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: this point and don't change things and just rely on

331
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: his talent and rely on what he sees out there

332
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: and his ability, and you know what, when he's a

333
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 3: call upon again, it has an opportunity. I'm sure he'll

334
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: play well and go out there and do the best

335
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: he can for the team, and the team I'm sure

336
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: has confidence in him to go out there and play

337
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: well and play at a high level.

338
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, just to kind of put a bow

339
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: on the defense here, Eric Johnson the second gets his

340
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: first career sack at the Tommy Why at a bare

341
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: gets his first career sack. Saguna Lubi steps in for

342
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: Zire Franklin at Mike linebacker. He's got the green dot

343
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: on his helmet communicating the defense. He gets his first

344
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: career interception. All things that you just really like for

345
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: a depth perspective of this team to say, all right, hey,

346
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: these guys now have good tape. They have good tape

347
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: that they've shown they can do some things. Now you've

348
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 2: got to build on it. It's almost kind of like

349
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: getting that first one out of the way, Okay, now

350
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: you can start stacking on it. And one other thing

351
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 2: to note here, Bill Shaquille Leonard led the Colts with

352
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: ten tackles today. I thought he was pretty active, especially

353
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: against the run, and he now has continued to have

354
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: a couple of pretty decent games in a row here.

355
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good to see Shack get out there

356
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: and do a nice job out there in the football field.

357
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: But hats off to the to the young guys at

358
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: will Be at a Bowery for playing out there and

359
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: doing some nice things. In regards to the Lit'll be

360
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: of course getting an interception and at a Berrey getting

361
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: his first sack. So I'm happy for young guys that get,

362
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: you know, a first accomplishment. You know, things like this interception,

363
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: a sack, or a touchdown, whatever it may be. And

364
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: you know they know now that they can do it.

365
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure they knew before, but actually having something tangible

366
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: saying hey, I got a sack, I got an interception,

367
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: they know they can do those things out there in

368
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: the football field. Those guys played hard and they played well.

369
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: I'm happy for those guys, and as long as they

370
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: keep on working hard and studying a film, they'll be fine.

371
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: And it's nice to see those guys getting those accomplishments

372
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: out there in the football field.

373
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: Stepping up when called upon offensively. Kind of a weird

374
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: game for the Colts. They only gain one hundred and

375
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: ninety eight yards of total offense. They average three point

376
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: five yards per play, those less than the Panthers. But

377
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: I don't know when I think about this game plan,

378
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: I just I think this was a game where Shane

379
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: Styken really drilled into his team, do not turn the

380
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: ball over because Carolina's offense if the Colts could the

381
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: way the game script is going and they're getting pressure

382
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: on Bryce Young, Hey, if we don't turn the ball over,

383
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: they will, And I don't want I don't even think

384
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: there's like a lot of like big picture takeaways I

385
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: want to have from this game, because Okay, Jonathan Taylor

386
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: averaged two point six yards per case, Gardner Minshew went

387
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: seventeen to twenty six for one hundred and twenty seven yards.

388
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, they didn't turn the

389
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: ball over and they just kind of let the game

390
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: come to them on defense, and Kennymore won in the game.

391
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: I thought it was totally fine to you know, the

392
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: way that things got schemed up.

393
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: Oh, I agree with you. I think it was fine

394
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: and a lot of times when you go out and

395
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 3: play it, you know is hey, look, these are things

396
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: we can do, and these are things that we can

397
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 3: do well. It doesn't have to be flashy, it doesn't

398
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 3: have to be big plays or trick plays. Just do

399
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: the fundamental things. And one of the fundamental things in

400
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: football is don't turn the ball over. Let's get positive yards,

401
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 3: Let's not get far behind the change. Let's stay on

402
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 3: on track there as far as trying to get first downs.

403
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: And when you do those things, don't turn the ball over,

404
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: move the ball down the field. Be efficient. That is

405
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 3: what you can do that helps you win ball games.

406
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 3: And the thing you want is you want to have

407
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: an opportunity at the end of the game to win

408
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 3: the game. You want to be in the game at

409
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: the end of the game. And the Coats were in

410
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 3: command at the end of the game and they had

411
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: the opportunity to win the game, and they closed it

412
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: out and they won the game. So give credit to

413
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: the offense for what they did. I'm sure of course

414
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: they want to have more plays, they want to have

415
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: more explosive plays, they want to have more yardage, but

416
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: they did what they need to do to win the

417
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: football game. And that's what you have to do. It's

418
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: like playing People say, oh, they only played the Panthers. Well,

419
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: you know what, the Panthers were a team that were

420
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 3: in front of the coats tonight. That's all that matters.

421
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: So that's who you have to beat. You can't worry about, well,

422
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 3: who they didn't beat last week or who have to

423
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 3: play next week. The Panthers were in front of the

424
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: coat today. They played the Panthers, and they beat the Panthers.

425
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: That's all that matters.

426
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: You had to end the three game losing streak. It

427
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: didn't matter if you were playing the Panthers of the Chiefs.

428
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: You had to end.

429
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, Yes you don't. You need to turn

430
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: this thing around. And what Kenny said, he said, you know,

431
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 3: win this game just gives us an opportunity to stack

432
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: another win next week. And that's what you want to do.

433
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: You want to win this game to have another opportunity

434
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: to stack another win on top of this win this

435
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 3: week when you play next week in Germany.

436
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: So just one other quick thing here. On the offense,

437
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: a couple of notable injuries. You know, Josh Downs came

438
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: into this game. He was questionable with a knee. He

439
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: only played eleven snaps before he exited the game. Shane

440
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 2: Steichen was asked after the game it was a new

441
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: knee injury, and he said it was just the one

442
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: he was dealing with during the week. Something to keep

443
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 2: an eye on there. I think Downs leaving the game

444
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 2: had a pretty significant impact on the Colts offense just

445
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: in terms of how they were able to operate. He's

446
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: a favorite target of Gardner Minshew's. It was very reliable

447
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: and you know, and continue to kind of expand his

448
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: role in this offense. So losing him definitely hurt. And

449
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: then Drew Ogletree, another guy who has really expanded his

450
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 2: role in the offense. He left the game in the

451
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: second half with a foot injury. He was deemed doubtful

452
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: and then he did not return. I believe he did

453
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: not return. Let me just go ahead and double check that. No,

454
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: he did not return after late in the third quarter.

455
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 2: So two things to keep an eye on as we

456
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: look ahead to the Patriots this week, because those are

457
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: two guys Bill who have played really important roles in

458
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 2: this offense, especially over the last few weeks.

459
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, they play some big parts in the offense. And

460
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: as you said, Gardner feels very comfortable with Josh in

461
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 3: the slot there, but I'm sure he's very comfortable with Mackenzie.

462
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: So hopefully Josh can heal up and be ready to

463
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: go next week against New England and overtry young guy

464
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: that I think everyone knows how we all feel about

465
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 3: Drew and what he does out there in the football field,

466
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: and how he's made some big plays throughout this this year,

467
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: and that we think that he can make even bigger

468
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: plays as his career goes along. But it's unfortunate for

469
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: him that he had the foot injury, and hopefully that

470
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 3: will heal up and so he can get back out

471
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: there and make some plays and give us another weapon

472
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: out there. That meant you can go to and the

473
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: more weapons you have, the better off you're going to be.

474
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: So hopefully these guys can heal up and the injuries

475
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: aren't serious and they'll be able to play next week

476
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 3: against New England.

477
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: All right, Well, speaking of next week against New England,

478
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: that is where the Colts attention is going to turn.

479
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: As we put Carolina to bed, It's going to be

480
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: a busy week here on the Colts Audio Network. Colts

Speaker 2: Rick Van Turrey, and then I will not be doing

484
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 2: an Instant Reaction next week. I'll be traveling back from Frankfurt,

485
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: so it'll be Casey Valier and Bill Brooks on Instant

486
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: Reaction next Sunday, after the Colts played the Patriots at

487
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: nine thirty am Eastern Time in Frankfurt. I don't know, Bill,

488
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: you catch you catch any of that Dolphins Chiefs game

489
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: in Frankfurt this morning.

490
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: I cut a little bit of the game here and there.

491
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: I missed the end. I actually be honest with you.

492
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: I saw the beginning of the game. I don't know

493
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: if it was I want to say they were up

494
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: twenty one to nothing, and then I kind of went

495
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: away from it, and then that I went down to

496
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: the studio, and then that when I was down at

497
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: the studio, I saw the end of the game, and

498
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: I think I just all I saw was to a

499
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: falling on a ball. Yeah, and that was the Oh,

500
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: I what the last play of the game. So that's

501
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: the only thing I saw from there and realized it

502
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: was twenty one to fourteen. So it looked, you know,

503
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 3: fail looked good from my perspective right now, Yeah, looked

504
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: like the great atmosphere. I knew. Only thing that was

505
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: going on was, I know, a punt hit.

506
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: That's why I brought it up. Hill specifically brought it up.

507
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: I was hoping you were gonna mention that board.

508
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw the punt at the school board, and

509
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 3: the play has to stop and they have to redo it,

510
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: redo it again. So it'll be interesting to see what

511
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: happens if that happens. Uh, well, man, I know, I

512
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 3: know it will happened, but it'll be interesting to see

513
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: if it does happen. Uh. Next week with the Colts

514
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: and the Patriots.

515
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: Rigo Ertro Sanchez something to shoot for there, just hit

516
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,320
