00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: this point and we continue moving forward with it. So

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: big game coming up on Sunday against the AFC South's

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. We know what happened the first time the

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: two teams met back in a week two. Not good

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Whether or not we see a turnaround,

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: all starts at one place, and that is, of course,

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: with that offensive line, and I'm sure about that. The

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: injury of concerns listed as questionable Jonathan Taylor, Nahem Hines,

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Julian Blackman going into Sunday already listed as out, linebacker

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: Shaquille Leonard, and on that defensive side of the football

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: as well, Quitty Hey listed as out for Sunday. But

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: as we always do via Colts Happy Hour, we start

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: with the Coaches Conversation Voice of the Colts Matt Taylor

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: and head coach Frank Reich as a punt of Colts

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Happy Hour and this starter, Matt take it away, all right,

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: thank you, Jamee V. It's time now for the head

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: coaches report on Colts Happy Hour with head coach Frank

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Reich and coach. First off, by playing on a short

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: week last week on Thursday, a little bit of extra

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: time over the weekend to get ready for this important

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: game against the Jaguars. How beneficial was that extra time?

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: How was it spent getting ready for Jacksonville? Round two

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: very beneficial. First for the players, just the extra rest

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: and coaches a little bit of rest. I mean, we

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: did kind of work through the weekend a little bit

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: really to get ahead on Jacksonville, do a little bit

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: extra self scouting, get ahead on Jacksonville, Studied a little

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: bit more film and that serves us well going into

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: this game. So, you know, get re energized, you know,

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: coming off a big road win, to get re energized

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: coming into an important divisional game was important. You know,

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: one of the storylines of this game obviously is the

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: offensive line. You change some things up last week on

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: a short week in Denver, and certainly don't want you

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: to give away any personnel lineup changes that you're going

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: to make going into this game. But how much time,

54
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: how much energy, how much thought has gone into trying

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: to get that right going into this game week six. Yeah,

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. I mean it's a big deal.

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: It's obviously important, and we we love our guys up there,

58
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: and so just working through the right combination. You know, obviously,

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: I said earlier this week, I talked about you know

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Bernard plan, you know, left tackle, and you know that

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: he'll be you know he's kind of going to be

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: our guys, so but the rest of the combination, you know,

63
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: we're working through this a lot of time and energy

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: talking about it, thinking through it, um, you know, knowing

65
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: it's a short list of things we can do, but

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: what's the best thing for this team? Not over the

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: next game or two, but over the rest of the season.

68
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: You know, I know you're not where you want to

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: be record wise going into this game, but it seems

70
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: like the hallmark of this team has been resiliency, fourth

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: quarter comebacks, game winning drives, being able to dig yourself

72
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: out of a hole. How pleased are you with with

73
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: that attribute of the team? Which is hard to come by.

74
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: It's it's something that not every team has, There's no doubt, Matt.

75
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great attribute to have. Um, you know,

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: we don't want to always have to do that. We'd

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: like to get on the right side of the equation

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: earlier in the game and of the season, But none

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: of us are. You know, at two to and one,

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: we are not where we thought we would be, where

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: we want to be, but you know we've been on

82
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: It's not terrible, you know what I mean, It's really

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: not When you think about, you know, even the first game,

84
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: we gave ourselves an opportunity. And so and when you

85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: look at the league and you see everybody kind of

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: bunched up there at three and two or two and three, right,

87
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: you know where we rank over on the league is

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: we're right in the thicket things. So, in spite of

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the troubles that we've had on offense, primarily feel excited

90
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: about where we're at in the opportunity you had speaking

91
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: of resiliency, that the NFL put out a staff the

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: other day that the Colts are the first team since

93
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety five San Diego Chargers to not give

94
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: up a single point in the fourth quarter through the

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: first five games of a season. What is it about

96
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: the defense? What can you pinpoint defensively that is so good,

97
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: especially in the second half in the fourth quarter. Well,

98
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: first and foremost, it's just a credit to the players, right,

99
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, really locking in for sixty minutes,

100
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: you know, getting a feel for what they're doing, and

101
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, just playing hard and playing with great energy

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: for sixty minutes. Obviously, Secondly, it's a credit to Gus

103
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: and the defensive staff. They've done a great job of

104
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, adjusting during the game, you know, to figure

105
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: out what the offense is trying to do and shut

106
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: it down. So hats off to really the players and

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: the coaches all right. Back on offense, Alec Pierce has

108
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: fifteen catches for two hundred and twenty two yards in

109
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: the last three games. You're going to get him back,

110
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: and you're also going to get Michael Pittman Junior back.

111
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: Neither of those guys played in week two. When you

112
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: play Jacksonville in the first game, What do those guys

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: mean for your offense, specifically going up against this defense

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Well, they're big time playmakers. Pitts

115
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: a major physical presence. You know, Jacksonville's a physical team,

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: so you know pitt brings that element, and then Alec

117
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: just they're both big time playmakers. But Alec has just

118
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: been making plays down the field, you know. So we

119
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: look from or that, all right, you look at you

120
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: know the last two games, you know, shifting focus on

121
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, we know about twenty six to eleven, twenty

122
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: four to nothing. Back in week number two, the week

123
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: of practice, the week of preparation, how dialed in would

124
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: you say these guys are to right some wrongs, if

125
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: you will at home. I do think there is that

126
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: element to it. Right. We understand who we're playing, we

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: understand what they've done to us the last two weeks.

128
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: And I'm sure everybody has their different motivation. Sure, and

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: I think that's all good. But I really think for

130
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: us this is even more so. It's a bigger opportunity

131
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: for just just to show where we are as a team.

132
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, we know we're two two and one. We're

133
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: playing a good football team, a team that has dominated us.

134
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: We need to take a step on offense, particularly so,

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: and we didn't play great against them on defense last time.

136
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: So this is an opportunity to show where we're going

137
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: as a team. Trevor Lawrence. He completed eighty three percent

138
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: of his passes. He had a career high one twenty

139
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: one passer rating. He's gotten off to good starts the

140
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: last two games against the Colts. How important is it

141
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: to get after him early and disrupt him from the

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: get go rhythm and timing? How much is that part

143
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: of his game? I think it's part of you know.

144
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always better, right when you can get

145
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: things going for a quarterback, get those completions, get the

146
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: first downs, get a score first. But at the end

147
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: of the day, it's a sixty minute game, so you

148
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: don't want to We want to do everything we can

149
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: to disrupt him early, to get him off his game early.

150
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day is just minimize

151
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: those points, you know, like our defense has been doing.

152
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Keep the points down. Keep the points down over sixty minutes.

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: That's the end. Then let the offense do their job.

154
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: They've got weapons on the outside, there's no doubt about

155
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: that with Christian Kirk and Zay Jones and Marvin Jones.

156
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: But I've been particularly impressed with their running backs. They

157
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: can run the ball and catch the ball. James Robinson

158
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and Travis et In. How much pressure do they put

159
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: on the defense with the checkdowns and the yards after

160
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: the catch. A lot of pressure. As you mentioned, they

161
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of personnel groupings. You know, they got

162
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: all this tend and Evan Ingram, you know, it's a

163
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: playmaker at tight end. So they got all these different

164
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: personnel groupings. They mix it up. They do a good

165
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: job of mixing it up. And they're and they're all playmakers.

166
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: They're all play You get the ball in their hand.

167
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: They all have that speed, they all have that breakaway

168
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: ability all right. On their defense, you talked about it

169
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: earlier this season. They're front seven, very very good, very

170
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: very formidable. They've invested high Josh Allen, Trey Von Walker.

171
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: What is it about that front that makes it such

172
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: a daunting task. Well, it starts with those two edge

173
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: pass rushers. You know, anytime you got two premier edge

174
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: pass rushers, it's challenging, right, It's challenging, you know, because

175
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: when you start dropping back a lot of times, if

176
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: you're going to chip and help the line or slide

177
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: the protection one way or the other, you can only

178
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: do it to one side, so or unless you want

179
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: to keep more guys in, and that limits in the

180
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: pass game. So it really starts there are two good

181
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: pass rushers, but they're also just you know, they're stout inside.

182
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: You know, they're stout inside. They have a good scheme,

183
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: they play a lot of bad defense. And then those

184
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: two young linebackers are both are both really physical and

185
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: athletic players. Yeah, Devin Lloyd and Foyer Olakon, no doubt

186
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: about that. And this goes back. This is a philosophical

187
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: question that goes back to what you alluded to earlier,

188
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: just trying to get the lead playing you know, in front.

189
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: How much of a different team could you be or

190
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: would you be? It affects everything, right, It affects play

191
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: calling and scheme on defense and possibly getting more takeaways

192
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: on defense. What would that mean to get out front,

193
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: be up by two scores in the second half of

194
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, it's it's a really big deal, as

195
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: you're saying, Matt, and you do everything you can to

196
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: create that fast start, right in all three phases. Over

197
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: our time here, we've been pretty good at that. Um,

198
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, we've been pretty good early in games on

199
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: offense in past years. That's why this year is just

200
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: such a you know, right, it's so difficult to deal

201
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: with because, hey, this is this is not characteristic of

202
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: who we've been on offense in a lot of ways. Uh,

203
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: struggling to to score early or score it all. I mean,

204
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: so that's the hurdle we got to overcome. And I

205
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: really do, Matt think that kind of once we break

206
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: the ice with that, that it Okay, this is we're

207
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: back in our rhythm. This is who we are, this

208
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: is we know what we can do, but we've got it.

209
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: This would be a great week to get that going.

210
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: All right. Lastly, coach, the floor is yours, your keys

211
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: to the game. Some areas you know, you have to

212
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: win individually in order to win this game. Well as always,

213
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, Jacksonville is two and all in the games

214
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: they've win the turnover battle, and they've all in three

215
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: in the games they've lost the turnover battle, So we

216
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: know that's a big deal. And then the second big

217
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: deal is we like to talk about, you know, quarterback rating.

218
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: You know who's going to win that battle because that's

219
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: such a team stat and we talk about it. You know,

220
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: as far as affecting their quarterback, how are we going

221
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: to affect their quarterback? That could mean pressure, That could

222
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: mean great coverage, It could mean blitzing. It doesn't have

223
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: to mean blitzing. But how are we going to We

224
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: could play great coverage and affect the quarterback, we get turnovers,

225
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: all those things that factor into that quarterback rating. As

226
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: you said, he's had two really high quarterback ratings against

227
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: us in the last two games. So on defense, we

228
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: got a fine ways to get that down. You know,

229
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: keep the completion percentage down, you know, get some turnovers

230
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: and eliminate the big play on offense. Right, we gotta

231
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: get it going. We know Matt can do that. We

232
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: know our offense can do it. We've showed flashes of it.

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: We just got to put it together for sixty minutes,

234
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. That's the head coaches report with

235

277
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: the Colts from Matt Taylor and his partner in the

278
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: radio booth, the former NFL coach Rick Venturi, for the breakdown. Matt,

279
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: take it away, all right, thank you, JMV. It's time

280
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: to fire up Inside Football with Rick Venturry here on

281
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: Colts Happy Hour on a Friday, and we're breaking out

282
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: the blueprints for the Colts to win this game on

283
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jaguars. And we start first with the

284
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: Jackville offense. They're coming off a season low six points

285
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: to the Texans last week. And just like the Colts,

286
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: if had a hard time beating the Jaguars, the Jags

287
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: can't beat Houston. The Texans have topped the Jaguars and

288
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: nine straight games. That's a streak that dates back to

289
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. The Jaguars fifteenth and scoring, but turnovers have

290
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: killed them in the last two games, the big reason

291
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: why they've come up short. They've got seven turnovers on

292
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: offense in the last two games, including five against the

293
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Eagles two weeks ago. Trevor Lawrence had two picks last

294
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: week against the Texans, including one big one in the

295
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: red zone, and over the last two weeks, he's completing

296
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: just fifty one percent of his passes. He's got two touchdowns,

297
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: three picks, and he's lost four fumbles. But he's been

298
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: great and their pair of wins on the season. Rick

299
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: in those games, he's completing seventy six percent of his passes,

300
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: nearly five hundred yards, passing five touchdowns, no turnovers in

301
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: those games. And the same cast of skilled players that

302
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: hurt the Colts back two they're all back, Travis Etn,

303
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: James Robinson, who ran for a thirty seven yard touchdown

304
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: against the Colts, Marvin Jones, Zay Jones, Christian Kirk. So,

305
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: what are your must to defend and slow down the

306
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars who put up twenty four points on the Colts

307
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: back in week number two. Yeah, you're exactly right. This

308
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: is a pretty well knit team. I would say in general,

309
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: you've got two really good running backs. I'll get into that,

310
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: in Etn and in Robinson. They've combined for over five

311
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards in a four four average together. The receiver

312
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: corps is good. Um, you know the Jones guys. Kirk

313
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: is their leading receiver. Agnew is coming on. Uh you know.

314
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: They they're they have in Ingram at tight end. They're

315
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: really a good, solid receiving corps, but non explosive, not

316
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: a lot of big play guys. I think Peterson, I'll

317
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: get into this, does a real good job of specializing them.

318
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: Uh you know. And then you know their offensive line

319
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: is high and low, depending kind of on the advantage disadvantage.

320
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: I think they're two biggest weaknesses is Taylor at right

321
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: tackle and now it'll be Shatley f left guard. They

322
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: lost Barts. I think they put him on ir But

323
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: so I think their worst positions are left guard and

324
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the right tackle. Number one must, you know, be very

325
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: disciplined because these backs can bounce it. They've got good

326
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: vision that if you avoid a gap, they're gonna find it.

327
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: So it's got to be really good there. Number two,

328
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: and this is critical. This to me is the number

329
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: one reason other than their defense, that we haven't played

330
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: well against them. We've got to set the edge on Lawrence. Okay,

331
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: we cannot let Lawrence get started. He is terrific. He's

332
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: still an NCAA quarterback. That's why he's up and down.

333
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: But he builds confidence early in the game. Okay, he

334
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: still is number thirteen qbr A with an okay passer

335
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: rating of eighty eight. But bring early pressure on him.

336
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: I would come after him very good, and I'd come

337
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: after him from the edge so that when he does

338
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: run a play action or a boot we are right

339
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: in his face and we can discourage him early. And

340
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: we got to have really good defensive discipline at the end. Also,

341
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, with that boot game, you got to find

342
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: the crossers. He's very inconsistent. You know, he's been Joe

343
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Montana versus the Colts and once versus Philly. You got

344
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: to destroy him early. I am convinced, and I've seen it.

345
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: He's given it up like a slot machine. He's coughed

346
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: it up like a slot machine. The last two weeks

347
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: four fumbles against Philly, two picks, and you said and

348
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: the one was destructive. It was the pick was in

349
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: the red zone when they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna

350
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: win last week, and he gives it up. And I'd

351
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: really believe if you confuse him, I still don't think

352
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: he connects the dots like an NFL guy. Make him

353
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: play NFL, and I think he will have the deer

354
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: in the headlights. I think number three, we've got to

355
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: be willing and in the games where we crowd their

356
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 1: wide receivers and we have more variation in coverage and

357
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: blitz like we have Kansas City and like we definitely

358
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: had last week. Okay, that's when we've played really good

359
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: defense early and then just kind of taken the game over.

360
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: This is a good receiver coremat but it is not explosive.

361
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: It is not You don't have the four four guys

362
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: in there. You don't have big, top end speed guys,

363
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: so your coverage just have to match tight. When you're

364
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: bumping and running bump tight. You want it. You want

365
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: to take this group away, and you know, because they're

366
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: just not explosive. Now, if they need a downfield play,

367
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna go you know, there's probably gonna go

368
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: to Marvin Jones if it's an interior play, a possession

369
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: type of deal. You know, he loves Kirk. Kurt's leading

370
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: receiver and most of it is interior receptions. And so

371
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: I think you always have to have a plan for Kirk.

372
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: If he's in at back field, don't let him one

373
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: on one with a linebacker. Treat him as a wide out.

374
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: Do not allow linebackers one on one on Kirk. As

375
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: good as our as athletic as our linebackers are, that's

376
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: a matchup, and it was obvious in the first game.

377
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: And then the other guy that was a bit of

378
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: a tough matchup for us was Angram number seventeen, the

379
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: tight ends. So but again I think you take them

380
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: away without the ball, You take them away early, make

381
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: him work close all windows, no big windows, smother those receivers,

382
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: and then mix it on the QB and pressure him.

383
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: I do believe he's still an NCAA guy. And then

384
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: number four must is obviously we do those top things.

385
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: We got to attack their defense, their offensive line, discipline,

386
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Russian blitz because he can beat you with his legs.

387
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: We've seen that, not just the designers. I mean, he

388
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: can scramble. You know, he's moved it very well, moved

389
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: it really well in twenty one when he had to

390
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: make first downs and move the chains. So the rush

391
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: has to be disciplined. I do like a lot of

392
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: five man rush man demand where you feel every lane.

393
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, I think they're a much better run blocking

394
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: team than pass blocking. I think Robinson's having a pretty

395
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: good year at left tackle, but he can be beating

396
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Gokway if he'll get him up and counter can beat him.

397
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: Where I think they're really struggling is Taylor at right tackle.

398
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's a high draft pick, but he can

399
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: be had. He's got lazy feet, he's been beaten off

400
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: the edge. And then their left guard and their centers

401
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: a rookie. Their left guard is their biggest weakness. That's

402
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: shot Lee again. They want to start Barts, but Barts

403
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: got hurt and he's out, so again. And I kind

404
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: of say this in total, this is a team because

405
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: they play so much better from advantage, particularly the quarterback.

406
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: You gotta control first and second down. You gotta make

407
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: this team a one dimensional dropback NFL team. If you

408
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: do that, the quarterback and the old line will fold.

409
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: That's Rick vn Turry right. They're on inside football with

410
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: the blueprints to take advantage of the Jaguars on offense.

411
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor. Let's switch over to the Jaguars on

412
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 1: defense and Rick. That unit has been very, very impressive,

413
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: very good all season long, giving up only sixteen points

414
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: per game, that's fourth in the NFL, and they of

415
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: course blanked the Colts back in Week two. They ranked

416
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: six against the run, and that's considering They've allowed three

417
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six rushing yards to the Eagles and

418
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: the Texans in the last two weeks after giving up

419
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: only one hundred and twenty six rushing yards in the

420
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: first three games combined. So they're good, but they could

421
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: be even better had it not been for a couple

422
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: of flare ups. They're tied for fifth in the NFL

423
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: and takeaways with nine. I'm classifying them as a very

424
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: disruptive team. Twenty three tackles for loss, seven picks, and

425
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: thirty three passes defense. They get their hands on the football,

426
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: that's the most in the NFL, and they're very good

427
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: in their second and third levels. Josh Allen Foyer, Olakan,

428
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd, Trey Von Walker and then in the back

429
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: end chat Griffin Ray Sean Jenkins, Andre Cisco. They forced

430
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: the Colts into three picks in the first meeting back

431
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: in week number two. So what are your must for

432
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: the Colts to fare much better against this Jaguars defense

433
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: in this game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Yeah. And the

434
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: troublesome thing for US is where they're good is you know,

435
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: the rush per three point seven, number five in the league,

436
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: and they've made that happen against us on first down,

437
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, basically sacks. You know, they've had eleven against us,

438
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: and they have come because they've set up those second

439
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: and twelves and those third and eight, you know, and

440
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: they've got and they've gotten after us that way. And

441
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: then basically they've been outstanding because they just don't give

442
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: up a lot of points, you know, at sixteen. You're right.

443
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that happened last week

444
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: is that I Pierce just had a great game. He

445
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: was just I don't know that I've seen a young

446
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: kid run hard or maybe Jonathan, but I mean it

447
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: was that kind of performance. He made so many yards

448
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: on his own it was unbelievable. But this is a

449
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: real good defense. When you think of this defense, think

450
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: of Tampa Bay, think of Denver, and you know, think

451
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. That's that's the style they play. That style

452
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: has hurt us. They are superbly talented. They've got two

453
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: guys on the edge with Walker and Alan that I'll

454
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: put with any two eat guys in the league. From

455
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: that standpoint. They're tough upfront. Robertson Harris has always heard

456
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: us Walker in there. I mean, those guys are really

457
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: really tough upfront. And then if they get you in disadvantage,

458
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: they get in that NASCAR package and it's Alan on

459
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: one side, Walker on the other, and then Smoot and

460
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: Key inside. And now that is a really really tough front.

461
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: That is a pass rushing front that can be scary.

462
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: And as they said, they've produced eleven sacks versus in

463
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: two games. I think our musts and it's not necessarily

464
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: in this order, because I don't think you're stubborn against

465
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: a team like this. I've been with Bill Belichick. When

466
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: you against one opponent, you go out and get two

467
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards rushing, and the next week against

468
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: somebody that's vulnerable to the pass you throw for four hundred.

469
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: I think what's really important week to week is that

470
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: you scratch where it itches, that you attack a team

471
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: where they're a week. It's not so much what you established,

472
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: it's establishing was necessary to win. I will so say this, though,

473
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: I think you have to find enough of a running bame,

474
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: enough of a running game to keep them off balance

475
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: and to keep them out of second and long. I

476
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: think it's really important you're going to see that double

477
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: sink unless you're going to throw every down. We've got

478
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: to get some gap powers in the offense where you

479
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: gap block down and kick out, or you lead through

480
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: into those octacles holes. That's the only way you can

481
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: run the ball against that double sinking. We have to

482
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: do that. But again in basse offense, don't be stubborn

483
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: because the weakness of double sink is that you have

484
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: eight guys inside the tight end box and your corners

485
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: are absolutely naked on the outside. So you've got to

486
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: be willing to get the ball outside to Pittman and

487
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: now Pierce, who looks like he can be just about

488
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: anybody on the outside. And if you play action and

489
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: protect seven man protection. They're normally only three guys short,

490
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of areas back in there. That's

491
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: what I mean. Don't be stubborn. And then this is

492
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: the week for the screen game because those big guys

493
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: are going to rush the passer. You want them to

494
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: rush it, and you want to screen to your backs

495
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: and let them go. Make screens be a part of

496
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: your bass running game. Now, when you're in nickel on

497
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: first down, that's when I really like to run it

498
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: because you get them spread out, you don't see a

499
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: lot of doubles. Think you don't see much under Everything

500
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: is a predictable over, even though there's an eight man front.

501
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: But you can want the safety, but you can pound

502
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: the bubble. So again, you've heard me say this before

503
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. Nobody pays attention to me. But when you're

504
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: in base personnel, that's when you want to be throwing it,

505
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: and when you're in nickel three wives is when you

506
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: want to be running it. I call that play wrong

507
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: play exactly what doesn't appear to be what you're going

508
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: to do in that set. I think that's really important.

509
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: And then if we get behind an account, think quick

510
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: rhythm passing even running on second and long, stay out

511
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: of third and nine, get back in a third and

512
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: five where they kill us as when you get third

513
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: and nine and they start running those three man stunts

514
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: and they're just frankly really hard to pick up. And

515
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: so again always get back on second down. Again, I'll

516
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: say this as number two. I've kind of hit it

517
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: in a way, but again, a lot of play pass early,

518
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: but maxim protection because they're short underneath when they when

519
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: you bring five, okay, you're only playing three four behind that,

520
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: three in the middle and four deep. So again there's

521
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: a lot of room to throw it with max protection.

522
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: And then their corners are naked one on one almost

523
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: every first down. And to me right now, the guy

524
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: you want to get one on one, the guy that's hot,

525
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: the guy that can beat one on one coverage is Pierce,

526
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: and I do think you want to take shots to

527
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,719
Speaker 1: him on first down. On first down, you can guarantee

528
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: single high and you can guarantee one on one coverage

529
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: on the outside. And I think their corners are solid,

530
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're great. I just I don't

531
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: think they're great. And you know, if you just will

532
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: attack them and go get them. Obviously, I think you

533
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: have a chance, particularly with a fifty fifty guy like

534
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: Pierce number three, if we do get in third down,

535
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: it's got to be protection first, even if we have

536
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: to concede at times. We don't want sacks in turnovers.

537
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: We don't want to let their defense feed off their plays.

538
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, they got the big turnovers against us in

539
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: the first game, big turnovers, and that made all the

540
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: difference in the world. So again, it's all protection. You're

541
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna have four really good rushers with two good blitzers

542
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: behind them, So again, anticipate blitzes from thirty three and

543
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: twenty three. That's the two linebackers. Protect those edges, chip

544
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: those edges. Don't let those guys out there one on one,

545
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: and don't let them ruin the game. Again, if we

546
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: have to screen on third and long, you know, you

547
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: know again run three man patterns. You can run three

548
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: man floods to one side, but don't let the pass

549
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: rush beat us and affect the game. And I think

550
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: number four, and I think this is critical. It's kind

551
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: of an all purpose, but I'll say it for the offense.

552
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: Stay ahead in the count. Don't give this team physical

553
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: or mental momentum. This is what we've done in the

554
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: last two games. We've allowed them early in the game

555
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: to essentially seize the day, and they have established both

556
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: physical and more importantly mental momentum. Dominate these early downs

557
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: and keep their pass rush on the bench. Their rush

558
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: and diversity comes when they are in the advantage. So offensively,

559
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: this should be a crusade, a literal crusade to win

560
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: first and second down. Hi, there you go, Rick Van

Speaker 1: we I like to say, matey, welcome to the NFL.

610
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: It came against the Denver Broncos. Alec Pierce eight catches

611
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: eighty one yards. He had a quarterback looking for you

612
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: You've proven that you can take the ball down the

613
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: field for a lot of yardage and stuff. Something that

614
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: this offense is missing. What's been the click? When did

615
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: it start to you said, hey, I can stay here.

616
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: I know I asked you this at the end of

617
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: training camp, but hey, I belong here and I make

618
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: plays here. Yeah, I think, you know, after having week one,

619
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: I think I went out there. You know, Week two

620
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: I was out with a concussion. But after that, you know,

621
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: going into week three, I kind of just told myself

622
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna go out there and just and just

623
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: let it loose and just play, you know like I

624
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: always didn't, and just have fun, you know, and just

625
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: play loose. Hey, I got to go back to it.

626
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: And it just shows that, you know, you're a strong

627
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: minded athlete as well as an elite one. That first

628
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: one that drop that people are talking about, Hey, you

629
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: gotta get it out of your system, stuff like that.

630
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: As a rookie, it came in. How long did you

631
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: sit on that? Um, you know, it's probably the day

632
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, happened the night of and then I woke

633
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: up the next day, you know, and I told myself,

634
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I was gonna I was gonna make

635
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: something just like the great ones. Man, just like the

636
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: great ones. I've told you talked to Peyton Manning about

637
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: his first few clicks in the NFL. Alec Pierce, you

638
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: talk about confidence you had, as Jeffrey said, eight catches

639
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: for a career high eighty one receiving yards on Thursday

640
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: Night Football last week in Denver. What did that game

641
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: do for your confidence? And what do you think that

642
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: game did for Matt Ryan's confidence in you? Three big

643
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: catches on that final drive of regulation to set up

644
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: the Colts for the game tying field goal. Yeah. You know,

645
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I just kind of proved to

646
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: myself that the things that I already felt in new

647
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, that I can can go out there and

648
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: make plays at this level. Um. And then I think,

649
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 1: hopefully for the team, I think it's just you know,

650
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: build confidence with the quarterback that you know, I'm a

651
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: guy that he can throw the ball too, and you know,

652
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: not hopefully I'm gonna come down with it. You know,

653
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's not gonna be worried about the defense

654
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: making him play. It's either gonna be me or nobody. Yeah. Yeah,

655
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: that's Alec Pierce with US rookie wide receiver for the

656
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: Colts second round draft pick out of Cincinnati. So you're

657
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: your four games in for yourself, what are the biggest

658
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: differences in the action and the speed compared to college football?

659
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: Now here with the NFL and then and coupling with that,

660
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: where do you think the game has slowed down for

661
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: you through about a quarter of the season. Um? Yeah,

662
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot different from college. You know,

663
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: in college, I think a lot of times I was

664
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: getting a lot of man coverage, a lot of press. Um.

665
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: So it's just you know, gone up there. You don't

666
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: have to identify much of the defense. You just gotta

667
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: go out there and just try to beat the man

668
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: in front of you. It's a lot more I've gotten

669
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: a lot more off coverage this year. Uh, and kind

670
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: of zone looks so you gotta you know, there's more

671
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: thinking involved with it. So kind of got to think

672
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: more as a receiver and you know, diagnosed defense and

673
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: adjust route based on that. Is that a huge difference

674
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: from college to the pros when it comes to having

675
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: a dB trying to lock you down one on one.

676
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: You faced a lot of man coverage in college you're

677
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: you face a lot of man coverage in this offense

678
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: as well, due to the fact that sometimes they're double

679
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: team and eleven in that. But those players completely different

680
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: from the college of the pro level, and are there

681
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: more handsy on you? Are there more you know? What

682
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying is are they more leaning as far as

683
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: getting hands up in your face these dbs? Um, I don't.

684
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the opposite, because I think there's there's

685
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: different rules for the NFL. They definitely call a lot more.

686
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: I know, college they can kind of like ride you

687
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: the whole way. They can you know, put hands on

688
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: you the whole way, whereas NFL like technically they're not

689
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: supposed to put hand five or five. Yeah, but I

690
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: mean it doesn't always get called, but they have to

691
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: be if they do, it has to be a lot

692
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: more subtle, you know. They can't be just blatantly trying to,

693
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: you know, rough you up at fifteen yards down the field.

694
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely kind of a little bit of different techniques. Um. Yeah,

695
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: So I'm getting used to that. Yeah, you can tell

696
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: Dale Bearers joins us right now, when do you think that,

697
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, When when did that come to Matt Ryan,

698
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: the leader of this offense that says, hey, I got

699
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: a good one out there in fourteen and I'm not

700
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: afraid to go to them. When did that trust happen? Um?

701
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: You know, I hope it just keeps on building every week.

702
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure if there's been an exact

703
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: moment um. I'd like to say, I thought at camp

704
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: I was trying to, you know, out there every day, improved,

705
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: improved to the offense. Um, But I'm I'm not sure

706
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: if they I couldn't pinpoint the exact moment. And you know, hopefully,

707
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: well it's on, man, it's on eight, verse eighty one,

708
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: versus Denver, it's on. I want to go back to

709
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: last Thursday for you, your first NFL primetime game. What

710
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: was that like playing under the lights for you? Oh?

711
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: It was. It was awesome. It's incredible moment um. I

712
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: love playing at night, you know, I love playing those

713
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: nighttime games. I know they're raring the NFL, UM, but yeah,

714
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: it was super cool. You know, it was a great

715
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: atmosphere out there in Denver. Was super cool to see

716
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 1: that stadium. So how difficult was it for you playing

717
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: those those two games in five days? Physically on your

718
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: body to get ready for that Thursday night game. Physically

719
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: on my body, it wasn't as bad. I'm sure there's

720
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys, um just being younger and

721
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: not having the probably snapcount that some guys have, but um,

722
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was definitely a lot mentally, just a

723
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: fact like we we just did walk throughs all week.

724
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: We didn't do a full speed practice, and I think

725
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: you know that's what guys needed to do. You know,

726
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: normally our first full speed practice of weeks on Wednesday.

727
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: You can't. We can't do that the day before the game.

728
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: We're packing up and flying on Wednesday. So we just

729
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: did three walkthroughs and mentally we're able to get those reps.

730
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: But just you know, physically, it is like the first

731
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: time you're actually running those routes and catching the ball

732
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't the game. So like what's the night

733
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: before games like for you you know, we haven't just

734
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: you know the routine we do. Uh, I'm talking about personally.

735
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: I know you got coaches meetings, I know you got,

736
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: but you preparing for the game at this level? Yeah, no, Um,

737
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: if my families in town usually like see them real quick,

738
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: because you know they they traveled, they made Oh is

739
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah? Yeah, they did in Denver, so I

740
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: saw them. Oh that's great, No way, it's not there.

741
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: Then let me stop you right there. That's gotta be

742
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: an awesome moment for the pierced family traveling a long

743
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: distance see their kid play, and not only that, welcome

744
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Like we said, eight for eighty one.

745
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: What's the families you know, energy and what's their attitude

746
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: like towards you and your success so far? Oh, they're

747
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: super excited. And you know I actually I did have

748
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: my um my nana there, my grandma, she's from Denver. Yeah,

749
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: so she made the trip out and I met like

750
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: a million of my cousins of some extent that I've

751
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: never met before. I think they're like second or third cousins.

752
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: They were pierced. Right. Good for you. What a great

753
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: story that is. Alec Fierstow. I'm just talking about a

754
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: little family reunion out in Denver and that's going to continue.

755
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: H it's midweek right now. I got the Jaguars a

756
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: team that that didn't allow any points to this offense,

757
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: and uh, you know what you're looking for early on

758
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: in the week facing this team. It's on the flip

759
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: side right at Lucas Oil Stadium. Yeah, you know, they're

760
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: they're incredibly talented team. You know, I was down there

761
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: watching the game when we played them in didn't score

762
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: any points. You know, they really get up front, they

763
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback and then yeah, they're just an

Speaker 1: all time. We'll check that fifth among active players with

789
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Who is the active NFL leader with thirty two?

790
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: That is cornerback Marcus Peters. Devin mccordy is second with

791
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: thirty one, Harrison Smith has third place lockdown with thirty

792
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: and Patrick Peterson, teammate has fourth on the list with

00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: matchup coming up on Sunday. Fellas joined now by linebacker

796
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: Bobby o'karakay, Hey, you guys have done a hell of

797
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: a job with this defense, losing one of the top

798
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: twenty defenders in the league for the majority of the

799
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: year was Shack obviously, but the defense has stuck around,

800
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: led by you. What has it been about this Gus

801
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: Bradley system that started in training camp, that's all you

802
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: through there and kept you guys in this season. Yeah,

803
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: the simplicity of it, the way he calls it. You know,

804
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: we have a lot of veterans on the defense, so

805
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: the communication has been excellent, and you know, we try

806
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: to keep it basically where the fundamentals, you know, tackling

807
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: play with great effort and physicality. Obviously, you know with

808
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: Shack out, we're missing those turnovers and that's an area

809
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: of improvement and emphasis for us going forward. But uh yeah,

810
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: we're we're we're going and growing. You're a unique cat

811
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: elite in this league at what you do and the

812
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: rest of the league notices that, Bobby, what is Gus

813
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: Bradley's defense done for you? Specifically as far as being

814
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: a better player, you know, moving to the will position

815
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: allowed me to kind of show my coverage ability and

816
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: now that I'm backside, show my silent asilent ability, get

817
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: to place make tackles in space. But yeah, I see

818
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: myself as a multiple versatile player. I can play in

819
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: different schemes, on different positions, So I just take every

820
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: opportunity I can. Bobby, what is the mentality of this

821
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: team right now? This week? Going into this game? Everybody

822
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: remembers what happened in week eighteen, what happened in week two.

823
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: How excited is the locker room to right some wrongs

824
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: if you will, this week against Jacksonville. Yeah, hundred percent.

825
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: We feel like the ship's going in the right direction.

826
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: We just got to emphasize, you know, playing with the

827
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: killer instinct and keeping things simple, keeping things simple. You know,

828
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: Decker talk to us about it. Keep things simple for

829
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: your mind, so you know, you can play fast and

830
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: play violently. So that's what we're focusing on, you know,

831
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: back to the basics and just playing good fund theiment

832
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: of football. In week two, down there, Trevor Lawrence got

833
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: into a groove early, right, He settled in, completed about

834
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: eighty three percent of his passes. How important is that

835
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: to disrupt him from the get go? Don't let him

836
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: settle in and get after him early in this game. Yeah,

837
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: I think just that awareness of how they're trying to

838
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,959
Speaker 1: attack us. He's got a quarterback, but he likes get

839
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: on the move, rollouts, boots, they like quick game. So

840
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: just knowing that taking away their strengths. So they got

841
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: a playoffs man on man turnovers last year we're huge,

842
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: obviously one of the league leaders. This year not so much.

843
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: Did that lose an interest point in this shift to

844
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: a Gosh Bradley defense or the takeaway from last year

845
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: to this year a big difference? Uh? Yeah, obviously takeaways

846
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: a big difference, and you know that, Like I said,

847
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: that's a big emphasis for us trying to get better.

848
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: Obviously we're missing Darius Shock in that aspect, but we

849
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: talk about it, you know, get greedy about taking the

850
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: ball away. So I think we're gonna see some splash

851
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: plays and we always talk about the coming bunches, so

852
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: expect some big takeaways coming. And listen, you said a

853
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: word Bobby earlier in this interview. Violent, violent, and that's

854
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: what you do for a living. Yeah, you're a young man,

855
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: But how is it after game day and then Monday

856
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: comes around? Tuesday comes around and getting that body ready

857
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: for another, you know, a bar fight on Sunday. How

858
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? Is that? I mean you bet in

859
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: the league now a few years? Yeah, I mean that's

860
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: the thing. I'm twenty six now, so I'm starting to

861
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: feel those ages and pains a little bit more. But

862
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we know this is a gladiere sport and

863
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, so many people feel the stands

864
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: and pay take us to play the game, to see

865
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: the game because it is by it is fast, so

866
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: we embrace that and you know, it's just another great opportunity.

867
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: This week, Bobby, what is it about the defense? The culture?

868
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: The only team in the NFL that hasn't allowed a

869
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: point in the fourth quarter? What is it about the

870
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: second half defense that is so great for this team

871
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: from a production standpoint? Yeah, I mean I think that

872
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: speaks highly the coaching staff, just those second half adjustments

873
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: that we make. And like I say, we have a

874
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: veteran group, We have great communications, so we limit the

875
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: bus and we make teams really earn earn their plays

876
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: against us. Yeah. Zaire Franklin leading the NFL and tackle

877
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: so far, and Frank Wrych this week talked about the

878
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: chemistry or the synergy that you have with Zaire and

879
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: vice versa. How does that come about? How hard is

880
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: that to establish? I mean, I think it speaks. We've

881
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: always had a tight linebacker group, and you know it's

882
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: been those same, similar guys. We're all similar ages, similar groups.

883
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: We've been together three four years and it's just that approach.

884
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna build each other up or we're

885
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna compete every day. I'm gonna push this here to

886
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: be his best. He's gonna be pushed me to be

887
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: his best. Same with EJ, Same with Grant, Same with

888
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: everybody in our linebacking groups. So it's an intense group

889
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 1: and we feed off each other's energy. DeForrest Buckner, Yunique

890
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: and Guy Quais to find Gilm. We're some veterans there,

891
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: Shack Leonard. We talked about yourself. Yeah, who's got the

892
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: voice in that defensive Huttel? So you're Franklin. He's that

893
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: emotional leader for us, and he backs it up with

894
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: his player. How about home games, the importance of a

895
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: home game. I just want to give you you have

896
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: a chance to give a message to the fans because

897
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: we need him obviously. The division game and where we're

898
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: at right now hosting a home game like we are

899
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: huge advantage. Yeah no, and that that you know, our

900
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: home atmosphere, that is our advantage. The way the fans

901
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: get routy for us and make it loud for that offense. Uh,

902
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, having to go on silent cadence whatever. But

903
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: we're just excited, you know, bring another win to our

904
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: fans here, Lucas Oil. You know, Bobby outside of a

905
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: quarter and a half, you know, you haven't had Shack

906
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: Leonard this season. How has he stayed engaged? How has

907
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 1: he remained part of this team and helpful to the defense. Yeah,

908
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's at practice, he's at meetings. Like you

909
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: see videos of him on the siline of games. He's

910
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: just as amped up and just as in tune to

911
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: the game as if he was playing. So you know,

912
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: we appreciated, we respect his leadership, and you know, we

913
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: just can't wait till him back the last one for me.

914
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 1: You know. On the Jacksonville side, on offense, they've got

915
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: a guy sort of like name Hinds, the guy that

916
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: can do it all. He can catch it, he can

917
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: run it, he can block. That's Travis eat In. How

918
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: difficult of a matchup. Is he on on a guy

919
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: like you playing linebacker? Yeah, you know, he's fast, and

920
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: I think what stands out about him it is physically

921
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: he likes to finish runs. Um, he's not the biggest guy,

922
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: but tough. That's a unique challenge that we have every

923
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: week in the NFL keeping a float in this division.

924
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: What's the coach's message to this week a division game?

925
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: Obviously everybody counted us out a couple of weeks ago.

926
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: You can't believe the start, et cetera, et cetera. Hey,

927
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: it's a long season. But what is Frank's message? Do

928
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: you guys just you know, keep the ship afloat, worry

929
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: about the division that's in front of you. I mean

930
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: we always talk about, you know, in the next game

931
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: is the biggest game because it's the next game. Never

932
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: get too high, never get too low. But where we

933
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: want to go obviously make a playoff run and eventually

934
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: get to that Super Bowl. We gotta win division games.

935
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: So there's extra emphasis this week. One of the best
