Speaker 1: He's inside the Red Song.

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: He's trek down from behind down to the nineteen yard line.

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: We're talking Colts and recapping the action.

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 3: Ten goo five but touchdown for the Colts. How found

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: an Indian Apple's cars on a block cut settles influencing

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: downfield and it is puticked up by the Colts.

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 4: You're running the other way with it. Now.

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: Here's the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor from the

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Indiana Union Construction Industry Radio Studio.

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: Hey, good evening, everybody.

Speaker 2: Welcome inside the last installments of Colts Roundtable Live here

00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, or at least for the twenty

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: twenty three season, now that it's in the books. We

00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: dot com. I'm Matt Taylor with you until six thirty tonight.

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: And tonight we're recapping the week eighteen loss to the

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: Texans and also recapping the twenty twenty three season, now

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: that it's in.

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: The books for the Colts, as the team finished nine

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: to eight.

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: Normally, we're joined by Colts head coach Shane Steiken at

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 2: the top of this program. As you can imagine today,

27
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: he's crazy busy. He's been meeting with players all day long,

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: as this is the final time they'll be in the building,

29
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: the team's training facility until the offseason workout program rolls

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: back around in April. So those meetings started very early

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: this morning. They're actually still ongoing, and I would imagine

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna run until well into the evening as well.

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: Coming up on segment two, I'll be joined by Colts

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: analysts Rick vn Turrey and Joe Wrights, and they'll take

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: your social media question tonight using hashtag Colts Roundtable on X.

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: But the Colts fell twenty three to nineteen to the

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Texans on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium in what

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: was an electric atmosphere in downtown Indianapolis. The win for Houston,

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: coupled with the Jaguars loss on Sunday, means the Texans

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: win the AFC South for the first time twenty nineteen,

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: and the loss for the Colts sees them missing out

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: on the playoffs for the third consecutive year. The Colts

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: trailed early in the game, fourteen to three, but cut

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: the deficit to eight points at halftime on a field

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: goal by Matt Gay. Indianapolis tied the game fourteen apiece

46
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 2: on a forty nine yard Jonathan Taylor touchdown run in

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: the third quarter and a two point conversion to Moalley.

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: Cox and Taylor had an epic day, rushing for one

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty eight yards, the second highest rushing total

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: in a game for him in his career and as

51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: a team. The Colts rushed for a season high two

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: to twenty seven on the Texans defense that was giving

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: up less than ninety rushing yards a game. Taylor passed

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: Joseph Dye for the seventh most rushing yards in team

55
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: history and also moved into fifth place in team history

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: in rushing touchdowns. Taylor shined for the Colts, but it

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: was c. J. Stroud and Nico Collins stealing the show

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: for the Texans. The rookie quarterback went twenty for twenty

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: six in the passing game for two sixty four with

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: two touchdowns in a passer rating of one thirty eight,

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: and with this total, Stroud became the fifth rookie quarterback

62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: in NFL history to reach four thousand passing yards in

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: his first year. His favorite target all the night was

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: Nico Collins because the Texans were down their number two,

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: number three, and number four wide receivers with injuries. Collins

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: finished with nine catches for one hundred and ninety five

67
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown. He ended the game with seventy

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: four percent of the team's reception yards. All other Texans

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: wideouts had just eleven yards receiving on two catches. And

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: then we all know what came down to the end

71
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: for the Colts. The last drive for them on offense,

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: trailing twenty three to seventeen with one zero six left,

73
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: running back Tyler Goodson couldn't secure an off target pass

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: from quarterback Gardner Minshew in the left flat on fourth

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: and one at the Texans fifteen yard line. The Texans

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: would take over, and for the Colts, that essentially ended

77
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: their comeback hopes. All right, As we mentioned, Shane Steiken

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: did meet with the media earlier today and discuss the

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: positive momentum he thought the team generated this season going

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: into next season. And the offseason that lies ahead.

81
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 5: I think you always want to, you know, have a

82
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: solid year. Obviously, you want to get in the playoffs, right,

83
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: that's the goal. The goal is to win the division

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 5: and getting the playoffs. And we're right there and to

85
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: come up short. It was very disappointing, but a lot

86
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 5: to learn from myself, everybody involved going forward so we

87
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 5: can have a hell of a you know, twenty twenty

88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 5: four season.

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: And the Colts finished the season with five more wins

90
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: than they did last year in twenty twenty two, and

91
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: the Colts are one of only four teams in the

92
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: NFL that improve their win total by that many games

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, but the team still fell short

94
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: of the postseason despite all the good they did this year.

95
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: So what does Shane think of where the Colts are at?

96
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: How close are the Colts in his estimation to being

97
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: a great team in the future.

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 5: I think we're right there. I think we're right there,

99
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 5: and you could see it by the way our guys fought.

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: But every years and new year, so we got to

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 5: rebuild it again next year and have that laser focus

102
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 5: just every single day, the details, the preparation that we

103
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 5: put into it. We got to be all over it,

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 5: but I do. I think we're right on the cusp

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: of something really special here.

106
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: That's Colt head coach Shane Steichen from earlier this morning

107
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: at his end of the season press conference with reporters,

108
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,479

Speaker 2: wrapping up the two thousand twenty three season for the Colts.

141
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: And before we even get started, gentlemen, just want to

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: say another great season on the pregame show by both

143
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: of you guys, and on this show every Monday night.

00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: It's truly special having your experience and your knowledge with

145
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: us every single week again on Sundays and on Monday

146
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: nights doing this show. So can't thank you enough.

147
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: Gentlemen. I'll start with you, Joe, How you doing. How

148
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: was that vacation?

149
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: Coming back just in time from Disney World to make

150
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: the pregame show?

151
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

152
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were running on Fume Saturday night, but I

153
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 6: tell you what, it was so electric there in touchdowntown,

154
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 6: and it was so electric being in the stands at

155
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 6: Lucas Soil. I mean, that was the biggest home game

156
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 6: we've had in several years. Really, you probably go back

157
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 6: to twenty eighteen and Andrews last year. Obviously, the last

158
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 6: playoff game was twenty fourteen, and that's what it was.

159
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 6: It was a playoff game and it was great to

160
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 6: see that vibe primetime the only game in town. That's

161
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 6: what the Colt should be about, and those are the

162
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 6: games they should be playing in year in and year out.

163
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 6: And I think with Shane, and I think with Richardson,

164
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 6: and I think we're setting ourselves up to be a

165
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 6: very successful program over the next decade or so. But

166
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 6: that doesn't take away the sting of Saturday night, and

167
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 6: I mean we were right there, and those opportunities don't

168
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: come all the time, and that's just what disappointing to me,

169
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 6: because I feel like we let Houston dictate to us

170
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 6: what they were going to do and they beat us,

171
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 6: and then to rub salt in the wound, Tennessee whips

172
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 6: up on Jacksonville yesterday and now Houston's hosting a home

173
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 6: playoff game. So I tell you what, I'll be watching

174
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 6: that Saturday afternoon because it'll be too painful to watch

175
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 6: the new AFC South champions, the Texans, which we had

176
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 6: in our grasp and let's slip away.

177
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and credit to you, Rick, I mean you've been

178
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: calling that for the last month or so. And Saturday

179
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: night was just made even even worse by Sunday afternoon

180
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: with the Jaguars tanking the way they did. And yeah,

181
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: Colts missed out on a major opportunity. It's a lot

182
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: of on this Monday night.

183
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I'm lost today. To be honest with you,

184
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 7: I did not. I totally felt in my heart that

185
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 7: we were going into this weekend that it was all

186
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 7: going to open up for us, that we were better

187
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 7: than Houston. Jacksonville was on the death slide. You know,

188
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 7: I fully expected to be in here today. You know,

189
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 7: I had, I had done three days. I didn't even

190
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 7: tell anybody I did three days on Cleveland last week. Yeah,

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 7: I was totally ready to come in here and and

192
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 7: do Cleveland. And I'm I'm just really just a little

193
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 7: bit lost. I will say one thing. I think this

194
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 7: show has just grown, uh and I you know, I

195
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 7: editorialized for us. I think it's one of the best

196
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 7: post game shows that you're ever gonna find. And I

197
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 7: think it's based on three guys that are highly prepared,

198
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 7: highly knowledgeable, have tremendous chemistry, and in many ways have

199
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 7: become good friends. And I think that's how you put

200
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 7: a show, a team, a unit together. And so, you know,

201
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 7: like I always say, I'm just proud to be a

202
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 7: part of it.

203
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

204
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: Likewise, I know Joe feels the same way. So thanks

205
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: again for all that you guys do. But we got about,

206
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: you know, three or four more segments to wrap it

207
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: up and put things into perspective. Here at the end

208
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty three season, again, Rick Vanturi and

209
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: Joe writes, I'm Matt Taylor here tonight on ninety three

210
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: to five and one oh seven five the fan, and

211
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: we lead off like we always do, with Rick and

212
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: Joe both examining the game film from Saturday night. Let's

213
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: talk about what happened and the turning points here on

214
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: the tail of the tape.

215
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 4: Well, baby raising hell today.

216
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 5: Okay, go bang bang, player bang bang, keep the hammer down.

217
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: I keep talking to one another man to clean it up.

218
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: That's all.

219
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: Get ready, get ready, tale of the tape. Time discussing

220
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: the fallout from Saturday night as the Colts fell twenty

221
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: three to nineteen.

222
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 3: The loss sees the Colts.

223
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: And their season come to an end with the record

224
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: of nine to eight, still a winning record on the campaign,

225
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: but again, so many things that could have been for

226
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 2: this team this year.

227
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 3: As the Colts rushed for over two hundred yards.

228
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor had one eighty eight and a forty nine

229
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: yard rushing touchdown the third quarter.

230
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 3: As we said, CJ.

231
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: Stroud was on fire seventy seven percent completion percentage, Nicocollins

232
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: with one ninety five receiving accounting for seventy four percent

233
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: of the team's receiving total. Outside of that, the Texans

234
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: wide outs combined for just two catches for eleven yards,

235
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: and of course everybody at the water cooler today still

236
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: talking about the fourth down play with just over a

237
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: minute ago. So Joe writes, you're up first. What notes

238
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: did you jot down on the tail of the tape

239
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: with the Colts coming up short in week eighteen?

240
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, big picture, it's really hard to lose

241
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 6: in the NFL when you have no turnovers, you have

242
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 6: three total penalties, and you rush for over two hundred yards.

243
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a winning four formula.

244
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 6: But when you look at the stats, we're oha three

245
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 6: in the red zone and we were to ten on

246
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 6: third down to start the game. I think we finished

247
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 6: one of eleven, but we just couldn't convert on third down,

248
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 6: and you know, Minshew.

249
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: Was a little bit off.

250
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 6: You know, it's there were there were four or five

251
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 6: times we were ready to have that big play and

252
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 6: we just couldn't connect. You know, receivers step behind, you know,

253
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 6: there's some pressure here or there, and so I just

254
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 6: felt like.

255
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 4: Offensively, we never really clicked.

256
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 6: I think Taylor's heroic effort kept us in the game,

257
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 6: but I do think a couple things. You know, we

258
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 6: goed right down the field and we get in the

259
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 6: red zone, but we missed a chance on third down.

260
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 6: We kicked the field goal, but I mean, that's seventy

261
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 6: five yarder a Nico.

262
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 4: Collins right off the bat.

263
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 6: That just completely changed the trajectory of the game in

264
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 6: terms of now we're playing catch up the whole game.

265
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 6: And it was seven to three, then it was fourteen

266
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 6: to three. Then we get back in the game fourteen

267
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 6: six before half and we score right out of half,

268
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 6: but we were always playing catch up. And then I

269
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 6: just think defensively that last drive. I mean, when you

270
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 6: have multiple chances when they're seving twenty first and twenty

271
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 6: second and fourteen second and thirteen, and we just continue

272
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 6: to let them make easy throws. That's what's really hard

273
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 6: to stomach, because you knew that they were having Nico

274
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 6: Collins and a bunch of practice squad wide receivers. No

275
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 6: offense to those guys. I was on the practice squad

276
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 6: three years and happy I was, but we we let

277
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 6: him beat us, and we let him go for two

278
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 6: hundred and stroud be awful comfort in the pocket. A

279
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 6: lot of the stuff we talked about in the pregame

280
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 6: that you can't let happen against a good rhythm passer.

281
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 6: So everybody's talking about fourth and one in Goodson. I

282
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 6: know we'll get into that call in terms of whether

283
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 6: you take Taylor off the field, et cetera. But I

284
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 6: really felt like defensively, just not having a better plan

285
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 6: for him is what cost us the game ultimately, And

286
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 6: it started out the very first play when they went

287
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 6: seventy five yards and we were confused on some coverage.

288
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I will at some point reflect on

289
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 7: this and be really pleased with the you know, the

290
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 7: jump from one January to the second January, the jump

291
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 7: four wins to nine wins, and in terms of our future,

292
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 7: I will do that. But as Tom Cruise said in Maverick,

293
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 7: not today, Okay, I thought yesterday in a way, you know,

294
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 7: and if we make the fourth down, if we make

295
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 7: the fourth and one, with the narrative obviously changes. But

296
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 7: I feel like in the end, yesterday was a little

297
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 7: bit of a micro chasm. Was why in many games

298
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 7: we couldn't get over the top, and why we couldn't

299
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 7: get over the top yesterday, you know. And I think

300
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 7: on offense, three things hit you and they've really been

301
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 7: there all year. If you look at it statistically in total,

302
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 7: this will back it up one. You know, we get

303
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 7: no explosive plays in the passing game. I mean, I

304
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 7: think would we throw for Matt one hundred and thirty five,

305
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 7: it's something like five point three per game. So you

306
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 7: can run the ball really well in this league, but

307
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 7: if you don't get explosive plays in the passing game,

308
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 7: you're not going to score. We're one for twelve on

309
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 7: third and fourth down, which has basically been a problem

310
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 7: all season. And then the bottom line, zero for three

311
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 7: in the red zone, and so all those things really

312
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 7: have been issues despite having a great offensive line and great,

313
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 7: great running back performance yesterday. But those issues really have

314
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 7: kind of plagued us all season. Sometimes we've overcome them,

315
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 7: sometimes we haven't, you know. And then on defense, the

316
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 7: inability to stop quarterbacks, not just elite quarterbacks, any quarterback,

317
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 7: and the inability to have game specific game plans, you know,

318
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 7: for wide receivers. I thought, specifically, I thought our offensive

319
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 7: line was terrific. I really did. I thought they were terrific.

320
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 7: I thought Shane and Tony continued to use a diverse

321
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 7: running game like we saw the week before it even

322
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 7: got better. Jonathan had probably the game of his life.

323
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 7: Two twenty eight yards rushing, just absolutely amazing. You know,

324
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 7: and again, as I said, if we just execute the

325
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 7: perfect call on fourth and one, it's a whole different

326
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 7: it's a whole different narrative. But you know, you got

327
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 7: to get points seventeen. You can't count on seventeen to

328
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 7: win a big game. You got to be better than that.

329
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 7: And we have been a good scoring team. We still

330
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 7: ended up number ten in the league, which we'll get

331
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 7: into that. I think that's a great deal for Stiking defense.

332
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 7: To me, just continues to be generic blackboard, absolutely no

333
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 7: game specifics. I've said that for two years now. You know,

334
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 7: we had really that was really and Joe mentioned it before.

335
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 7: We talked extensively on the game plan. There were two

336
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 7: big issue. They had two really big weapons. The running

337
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 7: game they weren't very good at they were two point one,

338
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 7: but they had two big weapons. They had a quarterback

339
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 7: who's dynamic and very good. And they had one receiver

340
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 7: and as you guys said, a bunch of JV guys

341
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 7: the fifth and sixth receivers on their team. They had

342
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 7: one guy. You had to stop one guy, and we

343
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 7: didn't in one time, not one time in sixty minutes,

344
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 7: did we ever specialize a coverage for him. He goes

345
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 7: nine for nine, goes one hundred and ninety five. You

346
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 7: know it's plus twenty if you know, if you go

347
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 7: two games, he goes sixteen for three, forty six plus twenty.

348
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 7: I mean, and this is with nobody else, And I

349
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 7: agree with Joe. I think spotting them seven on the

350
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 7: first play of the game was much more critical, much

351
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 7: more of a factor than the fourth down play. And

352
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 7: that was absolutely ridiculous. And you can tell me it's

353
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 7: Cover four, and we might see the problem with four

354
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 7: palms coverage, and I've coached all of it is four

355
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 7: pot covers. You can't guarantee a safety double. It's not

356
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 7: like Cover two where you roll over. I would have

357
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 7: been rolling over him every down, and Cover four you

358
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 7: might get help, you might not. And in Palms there's

359
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 7: a lot of margin for air, there's indecision, which Cross had.

360
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 7: But at the same time, you're stringing out a four

361
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 7: five three corner on a four to four wide out

362
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 7: and that's just bad football. That just doesn't work at

363
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 7: any level whatsoever. And then, as Joe said that same

364
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 7: old thing came back that fourth quarter collapse when we

365
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 7: were an advantage second and twenty first and twenty second

366
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 7: and fourteen. Now, the last throw, the last throw was

367
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 7: a laser beam, but he was able to get out.

368
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 7: He was able to make it. So the two things

369
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 7: that we had to stop Collins and make and make

370
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 7: the quarterback nervous. He only had one hundred and thirty

371
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 7: four passer ratings though. That was an abjunct failure in

372
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 7: both situations. And you know in that respect, I mean,

373
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 7: you just you're not going to come out of it.

374
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 7: And what's so disappointing is I will believe to the

375
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 7: day I die we have a better team than Houston.

376
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, those two things you talked about did not happen

377
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: for most of the night right there. And that's Rick

378
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: Venturi and Joe Wrights. Hey, Colts fans, remember that the

384
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor. When we come back, we're talking about how

385
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: to put this season into perspective. Not many people expected

386
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: the Colts to have a winning record in twenty twenty three,

387
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: but yet they did, but they did not make the playoffs.

388
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 2: We'll talk about some areas of the team after eighteen

389
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: games and how you should feel about them going into

390
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: next season. So that's coming up next when we come

391
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,000

406
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna discuss how you view it. How you view

407
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: it now compared to at the beginning of the season

408
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: back in training camp, and how you should view it

409
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: going into the off season and heading into the twenty

410
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: twenty four campaign. I should say so, let's start first

411
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: with the quarterback, because halfway through training camp, the Colts

412
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: announced that Anthony Richardson would be the time team starter

413
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: at quarterback, but he would only go on to play

414
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy three snaps this season, only eighteen

415
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 2: snaps on the road before a season ended with a

416
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: shoulder injury back in week five, through for five hundred

417
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: and seventy seven yards three touchdowns A pick was really

418
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: good on the ground, he ran for one hundred and

419
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: thirty six yards four touchdowns, becoming the first quarterback in

420
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl era with touchdown runs in his first

421
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 2: three games. So then Gardner Minshew came in. He appeared

422
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 2: in sixteen of seventeen games this season for the Colts,

423
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 2: won a career high seven games as a starter, and

424
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 2: set a new singles season career high in passing yards

425
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: with over thirty three hundred. So Rick, I'll begin with

426
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: you in terms of the quarterback situation for the Colts.

427
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 2: How do you view it now? How did you view

428
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 2: it going into the season and how did you how

429
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 2: do you, I should say, view it with Gardner Minshew

430
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: hitting free agency going into this twenty twenty four campaign.

431
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that would be the difference in the now

432
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: and how I viewed it In terms of Anthony that

433
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 7: is unchanged. I think the kid has absolutely everything you

434
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 7: have to have in a quarterback, the quarterback skills, the tools.

435
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 7: I think he has, the mental framework, the emotional framework,

436
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 7: and I think he has great leadership. And I think

437
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 7: if you couple that with Shane is the ver is

438
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 7: the perfect flexible has experienced with this guy to develop him.

439
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 7: The only the two negatives. I think number one, I

440
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 7: think the expectancy is going to be really high, but

441
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 7: by losing a lot of the majority of the season,

442
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 7: next year may be a little bit more of a

443
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 7: developmental year than you think. There may be more bumps

444
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 7: in the road that we may have been able to

445
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 7: get through from that standpoint. And then I think number two,

446
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 7: and this is a question I never had before but

447
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 7: I do now, is is the type of offense the

448
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 7: NCAA type of offense actually sustainable in the NFL from

449
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 7: a health standpoint, because the reason you drafted him was

450
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 7: to be part tailback, part quarterback, not just a drop

451
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 7: back quarterback, not that he can't do it. And they

452
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 7: have done a lot with Jalen Hurts. He's the guy

453
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 7: that he's closest to is Hurts, not Lamar, but Hurts.

454
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 7: And I think they've done a lot with Hurts in

455
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 7: terms of learning how to slide, when to get down,

456
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 7: how to get out of trouble, and things like that.

457
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 7: But I am a little concerned in that. Like I said,

458
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 7: I was never before, but when you face this major

459
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 7: injury and you come out of four games, you know

460
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 7: there's got to be some concern there. But in terms

461
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 7: of long range future, there's no doubt in my mind.

462
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 7: If he stays healthy, you have a superstar coming now.

463
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 7: In terms of Minshew, my opinion has changed quite a bit.

464
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 7: I thought that he was definitely a backup. That he was.

465
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 7: I used to call him as, you know, a thousand

466
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 7: paper cut guys type kind of a game manager. I

467
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 7: think he's better than that. I think he's starter too. Personally.

468
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 7: I don't think we would have won nine games. I

469
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 7: always say it this way. We didn't win nine games

470
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 7: with Minshew. We won nine games because of Minshew. He's

471
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 7: very good. He's very, very accurate, very smart. He pushed

472
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 7: the ball better in the last five weeks than he

473
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 7: did early. He's not great at that. I think he's

474
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 7: a much much better athlete than you think he is.

475
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 7: He made so many plays on his feet extension, either

476
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 7: running or actually making throws downfield. We've seen some terrific

477
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 7: plays that way in the last month. You know, the

478
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 7: guy has leadership qualities. He has his own kind of

479
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 7: a funny charisma, but it's there, and he has that

480
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 7: selective amnesia. He's not a guy who's gonna linger on

481
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 7: a mistake. He keeps playing. He's not gonna panic now.

482
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 7: He may his value may have gone up so much

483
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 7: that we can't afford him. But I'm not sure the

484
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 7: way the NFL is going today, and I don't know

485
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 7: how many backup quarterbacks I think eighteen got in or

486
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 7: something is. I think what you're going to see a

487
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 7: trend is a much higher salary for a backup quarterback

488
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 7: if he's good today.

489
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 6: I agree with everything coach said, I do think it's

490
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 6: important to resign Minshew if we can. It'll be interest

491
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 6: to see what his market value is. But the positive

492
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 6: thing for the Colts is you got richardsonator his rookie contract,

493
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 6: and so if you're somebody that you know, if you're

494
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 6: the Jets, you know, and you're paying Rogers fifty million

495
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 6: dollars a year, you're probably not as likely to pay

496
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 6: a backup big money, you know what I'm saying. And

497
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 6: so I think the fact that we can keep him there,

498
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 6: but he certainly means a lot to this team, and

499
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 6: Coach mentioned it just his leadership and his swag. For

500
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 6: a backup quarterback, a lot of guys don't have that.

501
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 6: And I think his number one quality that's most important

502
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 6: is that to be able to back up and come

503
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 6: in and completely take the reins of the team. The

504
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 6: couple times that he did at in game when Richardson

505
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 6: went out, and I agree with coach, how sustainable is

506
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 6: Richardson running the ball ten, twelve, fifteen times. He had

507
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 6: a myriad of injuries in his short time. This offseason

508
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 6: is gonna be very important for him to understand when

509
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 6: to get down, when to take a hit, how to

510
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 6: not take direct hits, you know, and you take a

511
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 6: hit falling down to the ground rather than take somebody

512
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 6: head on. But the reality is Minshew can win your games.

513
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 6: And with Richardson and some of the unknowns about the health,

514
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 6: I think it's important to have him in the fold

515
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 6: if you can make it happen, you know, Chris Ballad

516
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 6: and the salary cap. Moving into twenty twenty four.

517
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: All right, that's how do you view it on the

518
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: quarterback situation. Let's stay on offense and let's go to

519
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman in terms of his role, because before the

520
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: season started he was coming off a season with ninety

521
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: nine catches but less than one thousand yards with the

522
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 2: carouself quarterbacks in his first three years.

523
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: But this year he.

524
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: Posted a career high one hundred and nine catches over

525
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: eleven hundred yards, became just the fourth Colts wide receiver

526
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: ever to post one hundred catches in one thousand yards

527
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: in a single season, past Bill Brooks for the third

528
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: most receiving yards by a Colts player in their first

529
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: four seasons. So, Joe, how did you view Pittman back

530
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: in trainee camp?

531
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 3: How do you view him now?

532
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: And how do you view him going into free agency

533
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: in just in terms of his importance and how inter

534
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: goal he is to this team going into twenty twenty four.

535
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, I think Pittman is a huge part of

536
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 6: this team. I think he had a better season than

537
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 6: maybe I would have thought into training camp. I think

538
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 6: we saw that really, maybe not as much in the

539
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 6: games he played, but the games he didn't play, and

540
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 6: how completely different our offense was, I do think especially

541
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 6: with Minshew, and Minshew's not a guy that's gonna uncork

542
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 6: it deep and we didn't call a ton of deep throws.

543
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 6: But Pittman is just so reliable, so valuable, the physicality

544
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 6: he plays with, and I think Pittman's importance as a

545
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 6: wide receiver is more important to this team than maybe

546
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 6: any other team in the NFL. And what I mean

547
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 6: by that is he's a willing and aggressive, physical blocker

548
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 6: and he sets the tone. And there's a lot of

549
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 6: runs this year when we got on the edge and

550
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 6: Pittman is just destroying his guy downfield. And so for

551
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 6: a team like the Colts, and when you got a

552
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 6: weapon like Taylor that can run it for two hundred,

553
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 6: I think Pittman's value is more important than if he

554
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 6: was on a team. You know that through the ball

555
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 6: fifty times a game, if that makes sense. So again,

556
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 6: there'll be a lot of decisions going into free agency.

557
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 6: But I think Pittman has proved his worth in terms

558
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 6: of just his steadiness, his reliability, and he's continued to

559
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 6: get better and better each year.

560
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mike is a very interesting It's a dichotomy. To me,

561
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 7: I'm a little ambivalent in terms of myself as a

562
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 7: fan and myself as an analyst, and if I if

563
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 7: I have my GMS cap on in terms of me

564
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 7: personally as a fan and as a coach, I love him. Okay,

565
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 7: I think he's tougher than Nails, you know. I think

566
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 7: he's competitive. He's basically, for us, a very high volume

567
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 7: inside receiver. He's tougher than nails. He'll do all the

568
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 7: dirty work. He's a team guy. And I think, and

569
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 7: Joe made a really good point, I think he's invaluable

570
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 7: to this team. I think he's more valuable to the

571
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 7: cult than he is on the open market. And I'll

572
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 7: talk to you about that. So when you sign him,

573
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 7: there to me has to be a context. First of all,

574
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 7: he's fifth in the league in high volume catches and

575
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 7: catches all right, but number two, he's eighty fifth in

576
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 7: the league in yards per catch in the tens, which

577
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 7: puts him right in the middle of the tight ends

578
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 7: and slots, not with any of the elite receivers in

579
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 7: the league. And four touchdowns. So in that sense, I

580
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 7: think when you go to say pay him, I think

581
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 7: there's a context that you pay him. I see him

582
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 7: as a context player, not necessarily a total package. I

583
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 7: think he's he doesn't have great speed, he doesn't beat

584
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 7: people one on one, and he doesn't do much after

585
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 7: the catch. He's not creative with the ball in his hand,

586
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 7: and so where he's really effective is really on the inside,

587
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 7: like a tight end or like a slot. I've always

588
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 7: said he's kind of a hybrid tight end in a

589
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 7: wide receiver's body. And Shane did a great job as

590
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 7: the season went on to give formations to do things

591
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 7: to move him around so that he got free access

592
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 7: but never had to create it. You got to understand that.

593
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 7: So you know, in that sense, you know, again very

594
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 7: very valuable to us. You know you're gonna have to

595
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 7: pay to get him. But I would not pay, you know,

596
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 7: on a like on an elite standpoint, because I don't

597
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 7: see that. I see him really, you know, as a

598
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 7: great tight end, as a great slot inside, a guy

599
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 7: that I want desperately on this team. But financially, you

600
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 7: also have to you know, you have to, you have

601
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 7: to know what you're doing.

602
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 4: And I think that's where I look at Pittman.

603
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 6: He's the Colt's most valuable receiver, but our most explosive

604
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 6: receiver is Josh Downs.

605
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 4: And Josh Downs at.

606
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 6: Three targets, three catches for forty eight yards, and I

607
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 6: kept calling more downs, more downs, more downs, and I

608
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 6: think he's gonna be the guy that next year. You

609
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 6: continue to see them to find ways to get the

610
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 6: ball in the hands because he just finds a way.

611
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 6: He reminds me of t Y Hilton in terms of

612
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 6: they're different receivers what they do, but he always is

613
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 6: open and he just has that knack to be able

614
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 6: to do it. And all of a sudden, he catches

615
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 6: one twelve yards down the field. Before you know it,

616
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 6: he's turned it into fifty. And that's something I thought,

617
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 6: you know, going back to the game a little bit,

618
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 6: we could have fed Downs on two or three more

619
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 6: plays and got explosive plays because our explosive plays come

620
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 6: from Jonathan Taylor running the ball and Josh Downs catching

621
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 6: the ball.

622
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, right there, Rick Venturry, Joe Wright, sim

623
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor. We're talking about how you view some things.

624
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: Let's close out here, let's go to the other side

625
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: of the ball. Talk about the defense, because back in

626
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: training camp that you didn't look like it had the

627
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: potential to be a top ten unit. Pro Bowl players

628
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: and Pro Bowl caliber players and all three levels of

629
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: the defense. And they definitely had their moments this year.

630
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: They held eight opponents to twenty points or less. They

631
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: were eight to oh in those games the Colts were. However,

632
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: they finished the season on defense, ranking twenty seventh in scoring.

633
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: The Colts had four players who had at least seven

634
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 2: sacks this season, and as a team, they broke the

635
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: Indy Era record for sacks in a single season with

636
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: fifty one. But the Colts also played with a young

637
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: secondary for most of the year. They routinely allowed big

638
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: games to the opposition's top targets. And then we talked

639
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: about it. On Saturday. The Texans were without their number two,

640
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: number three, number four guys Nico Collins still had a

641
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 2: big game for counting for one to ninety five of

642
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: the Texans three hundred and six total yards. So, Rick,

643
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 2: how do you view this Colts defense? I should say,

644
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: let's go back in time. How did you view it

645
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: back in the summer and how do you view it now?

646
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: And what the outlook there is going into twenty twenty four.

647
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 7: Well, I'm with you, and you know you tend to

648
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 7: have a different kind of look in the summertime, and

649
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 7: you tend to look at the team as individuals. You

650
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 7: look at a lot of one on one drill, don't

651
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 7: really see them play against another team collectively. So what

652
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 7: you're doing is kind of evaluating talent in the preseason.

653
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 7: And I will stand by this. I think it's a

654
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 7: really talented unit. I think that Ballard has really given

655
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 7: them talent. I mean, you have two of the best

656
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 7: inside players in football as a combination. You got a

657
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 7: busload of rushers. I mean, we got all kinds of runs.

658
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 7: We got a bunch of guys between eight and ten

659
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 7: simply because we roll them. We have two of the

660
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 7: best young stack linebackers. I think they have what two

661
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty tackles between them. Cross and Cross and

662
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 7: Blackman are two of the best athletes at safety in

663
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 7: the league. And Kenny Moore is an absolute excellent specialist

664
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 7: where he players and our two corners are better than advertisers.

665
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 7: They're getting all the heat and all the excuses for

666
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 7: our scheme are made because of the corners, and I'm

667
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 7: not buying it because we played the same scheme a

668
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 7: year ago. What our problem is is we have a

669
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 7: vanilla and we have a predictable scheme that people are

670
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 7: tearing apart. We play seventy nine percent zone. That was

671
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 7: as a week ago. I don't know exactly what it

672
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 7: is today, but it week close seventy nine percent zone.

673
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 7: And in that zone there's no matchup. It's soft on

674
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 7: the outside, it's soft on the inside, there's no matchup underneath.

675
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 7: There's no hard press, so teams have free access. That's

676
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 7: why this play after play is uncontested. It just absolutely

677
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 7: drives me crazy, and that's why it's not just a

678
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 7: great phenom. Like a young kid we played on Sunday,

679
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 7: it's Browning Heinakey, it's Aiden O'Connell. I mean, it goes

680
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 7: on and on and on in terms of giving up

681
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 7: these high percentage. We're kingmakers. And it's the same way

682
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 7: with wide receivers. Every wide receiver that comes in here

683
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 7: has a career day. And even if you don't have

684
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 7: good corners, all you have to do when there's one

685
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 7: guy out there is you roll to him every down

686
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 7: play run force away, okay, or you go man demand

687
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 7: press him in double over the top and you play

688
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 7: nine on everybody else period. Okay. So there's no excuse

689
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 7: for what happened on Sunday. So you know, to me,

690
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 7: you know, if you're gonna hold players accountable, then you

691
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 7: have to hold the coaches and the scheme accountable too.

692
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 7: And I'm hearing the word continuity thrown around a little bit.

693
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 7: But let me just say something about continuity. Okay. Let

694
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 7: me just give you five playoff teams. Buffalo changes offensive

695
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 7: coordinators in the middle of the season and it's been huge.

696
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh same. Cleveland brings in Jimmy Schwartz. They're now number

697
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 7: one in the league on defense. Baltimore brings in Mounkin.

698
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 7: Look at the difference he's had with the quarterback, you know.

699
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 7: And then look at Miami brings in fangios So and

700
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 7: Houston totally visits to the whole thing. So you know,

701
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,959
Speaker 7: continuity is only good if it's a damn good plan.

702
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 7: If it isn't a damn good plan, continuity is not

703
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 7: gonna make any better.

704
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think two dovetail off. Rick.

705
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 6: I think this is the most talented Colts defense we've

706
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 6: had in a long time. And he mentioned it when

707
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 6: you think about Stuart and Buckner inside you think about

708
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 6: ebucom was a great signing. I will say he was

709
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 6: better this year than I really would have thought. Credit

710
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 6: to Chris Ballard for signing him. He really can beat

711
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 6: you with speed off the edge. He's got good moves,

712
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 6: he's got power. You know, pay is what pay is.

713
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 6: But Taekwon Lewis, you know, another rusher and Dio really

714
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 6: came on. So I mean that's six d linemen right

715
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 6: there that are really good. I still we got to

716
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 6: have a backup run stuffer though. You know when those

717
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 6: guys go out and coach you mentioned when Stewart goes out,

718
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 6: it's completely different teams just they they just put four

719
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 6: four yards in the book and they just move on.

720
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 6: Our linebackers are incredibly gifted fast and speed, and I

721
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 6: think our corners while young, they're big, they're strong, they're long,

722
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 6: and so I'm with I think we have a talented defense.

723
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 6: I think we have a very fast defense, but I

724
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 6: think the way that we play defensively is not aggressive

725
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 6: and it isn't putting those guys in the best position

726
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 6: to really live out their strengths. So I know we

727
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 6: had some injuries in the secondary, but I just think

728
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 6: from the roster that's been built in this Colts defense,

729
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 6: I am excited moving forward in the future because it's

730
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 6: a very talented unit and a lot of those young

731
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 6: guys will continue to grow. So you got to give

732
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 6: some credit to Chris Ballard for putting that group together.

733
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 2: All right, that's how do you view it? Look at

734
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: some aspects of this Colts team with the season wrapped

Speaker 2: of talked more big picture stuff with this being our

776
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 2: last show of the season here. But let's go to Jonesy.

777
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: He's asking why not have Jonathan Taylor out there? Rick

778
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: on fourth and one after we paid him exactly what

779
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: he wanted. Just your thoughts on the call, the execution

780
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Taylor on the sideline in that big moment

781
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: there late in the game.

782
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 7: Well, First of all, I thought the Coats procedure was outstanding.

783
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 7: They came up on fourth and one. I believe they

784
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 7: had a run call to JT. And it was a

785
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 7: back offense, so it probably had to be a zone

786
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 7: or some kind of power trap period. When Gardner when

787
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 7: he looked out there, they had jumped into the bear

788
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 7: defense and they added one guy to it because they

789
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 7: were in the red zone. It wasn't just the two linebackers.

790
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 7: They brought the free safety, so it was like zero coverage.

791
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 7: They were like five four in there. They had a

792
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 7: nine man front, and I think when he saw that

793
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 7: he didn't like the play. He saw them being able

794
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 7: to stuff that play, and so he took the time out.

795
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 7: He looked it over. We had plenty of timeouts. You

796
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 7: and I talked about that. I thought that was a

797
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 7: good operation. He went over and talked to Shane. I

798
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 7: think Shane's mental thought was we're not going to force

799
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 7: it into the wall of China, which I totally agree with.

800
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 7: We know we're going to get manned a man coverage,

801
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 7: so we're going to run a rub swing, you know,

802
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 7: bring Pittman in and rub the linebacker and swing it

803
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 7: around and that was the play an absolute perfect call

804
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 7: that got mis executed Gardner, didn't you know he didn't

805
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 7: throw it perfectly. When you're throwing to a running back

806
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 7: like that, it's got to be at his eyes, one

807
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 7: foot in front of him. You don't want to make

808
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 7: him twist, and then the other the kid, you know Goods,

809
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 7: he's got to turn around and catch the ball. You

810
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 7: got to make a difficult play. The only criticism I

811
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 7: have is not in the play, but I do believe

812
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 7: I would have had Jonathan in there to run the

813
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 7: same play. I just I just that's the part of

814
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 7: me that says play. I think players, not plays. But

815
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 7: in terms of the procedure and the call, I thought

816
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 7: it was outstanding. I just probably would have liked to

817
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 7: have Jonathan in there.

818
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, and to add him with Coach said, when Taylor

819
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 6: goes out of the game, Houston knows you're not going

820
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 6: to run the ball. You're taking out your stud on

821
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 6: fourth and one, and so I think mentally they know

822
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 6: it's going to be a pass. That probably allowed you know,

823
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 6: those dbs to close a half second quicker on Goodsin,

824
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 6: which could cause him to feel a little bit rushed.

825
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 6: So I agree with Taylor being in there, and I

826
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 6: just think the only thing about Goodson is he hadn't

827
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 6: touched the ball all game, and so if you're him,

828
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 6: they threw one passer in the game that third down

829
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 6: in the first drive. It's like, if you're if you're

830
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 6: the Bulls and Jordan's triple teamed, should he throw on

831
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 6: up there, triple teamed or should he passed a wide

832
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 6: open Steve Kurda hit a three, you should pass the ball.

833
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 6: And I think that's what the Colts did. They got

834
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 6: a wide open play to Goodson. But Goodson also hadn't

835
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 6: touched the ball all game, and so that's where I

836
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 6: think it's a tough situation for the kid, and I

837
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 6: feel really bad for him, obviously. But the bottom line

838
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 6: is this game didn't come down to that fourth and

839
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 6: one everybody's talking about it. This game came down to

840
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 6: our inability to stop Nicocollins, and our inability, really on

841
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 6: that last defensive drive when we had him in second

842
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 6: and twenty first and twenty second and fourteen second and

843
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 6: thirteen to not be able to get a stop and

844
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 6: or hold them to a field goal.

845
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,479
Speaker 4: Which would have changed the trajectory of the game.

846
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 2: All right, Let's sneak in one more if we have

847
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: time here, let's go to Zaane. Zaan is asking Joe,

848
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 2: do you think we should resign Gardner Minshew based on

849
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: what he gave us this season in a year that

850
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 2: showed us how valuable backup quarterbacks are around the NFL.

851
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 4: I do if the price is right. And that's when

852
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 4: it's really hard.

853
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 6: But I think you know, him and Pittman and those

854
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 6: other guys, I think their value is high to our team.

855
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 6: But you'll see what he's going to earn on the

856
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 6: open market and what it could be about. But the

857
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 6: positive thing is you do have Richardson under the rookie contract,

858
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 6: so you're not paying a crazy price if you're going

859
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 6: to overpay Minshew a tad if that makes sense.

860
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I totally agree. But you know, I think he's

861
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 7: so valuable to us because you know, I think the

862
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 7: Richardson style does make him a little bit more vulnerable

863
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 7: than the normal guy. Agree to start from day one.

864
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: And he knows that Shane steinkn system better than most, right,

865
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 2: I mean, just all that experience, right, and you know.

866
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 7: What, and I will say it again, I mean we

867
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 7: won nine games, not in spite of Minshew, we won

868
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 7: nine games in my opinion, because our offensive line is

869
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 7: really good, we have a great runner, and because of

870
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 7: Gardner Minshew, who incidentally, at the end of the day

871
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 7: has the thirteenth best care in the league. So we

872
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 7: might have to overpay there a little bit, just because

873
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 7: of the circumstances that we're facing.

874
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 2: The circumstances of Anthony Richardson coming back and yeah, only

875
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: playing in four games or appearing in four games, and

876
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: year number two and you know, some durability questions along

877
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 2: the way as well. There all right, that's the mailbag

878
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: segment tonight. Again, thanks to everybody all season long for

886
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 2: time off from football. Have a great winner coming up, Joe,

887
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate you more than you know, man, Thank you

888
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: so much.

889
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thanks, Matt. I love being on the show.

890
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 4: Coach you as well.

891
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 6: I'm gonna miss these Monday nights, so we might have

892
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 6: to get together and talk some football so we can

893
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 6: get our fix in here in the off season.

894
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: There you go. Yeah, Ricky takes Sherry out on a date.

895
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 2: Now get reacclimated with her, all right, that's your job

896
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: number one here.

897
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 7: As soon as I can. I want to get her

898
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 7: down to Reddington Beach. She's not ready to go yet.

899
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 7: She's anger in with the grandkids and so you know,

900
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 7: that might be a while. And I'm sure you and

901
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 7: I'll get back together at this in a couple of weeks,

902
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 7: and certainly we'll start getting ready for the draft and

903
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 7: you know, free agency when we get into March. Been again,

904
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 7: I'm really, truly I can't say enough about working with you.

905
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 7: But I've really enjoyed the Monday night show with you

906
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 7: and Joe. It's just it's really become something I really

907
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 7: look forward to. So again, can't wait to do it again.
