1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Welcome into instant reaction in Indianapolis Colts podcast, and we

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: are reacting to a crushing twenty three twenty overtime loss

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: the Colts in Kansas City losing to the Chiefs and

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: now the Colts fall to eight and three. I am

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Casey Value, joined as always by Colts Ring of Honor

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver Bill brooks Man. Bill, that was a tough

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: one in Kansas City. That was a really, really tough one.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, saying eight and three does not sound anywhere near nine,

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: And oh no it doesn't. I mean I.

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: Thought, you know, the Coats had a good opportunity to

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: win this game against the Kansas City Chiefs and beat them,

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: especially being up.

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: You know, twenty to nine.

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought they have an opportunity to win this game,

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: but they didn't take care of the business. They need

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: to take care of some of the things down the

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: stretch in this game they didn't take care of. I

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: know you're gonna hit on some of those things as

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: we go on, but it's very disappointing for the Colts

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: to finish this game out and come home with a win.

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: But unfortunately it didn't work out that way.

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 3: But you know what you have to bounce back from

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: this and get ready for the game next week.

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we will continue to talk about that,

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: but I mean this seven game stretch following the bye week,

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: it's a gauntlet for the Colts and it doesn't get

27
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: any easier, especially you talk about a Houston team that's

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: really starting to kind of come into their own. That's

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: who the Colts get next up next Sunday. But we're

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: talking about this Chief's loss. And as you mentioned, Bill,

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: the Colts at one point, they're up twenty to nine

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and they watched that lead evaporate

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Chiefs force overtime. In

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: the overtime period, they make a game winning field goal.

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: But you know, with all of these things, we're gonna

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: highlight both the good and the bad here on instant Reaction.

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: So starting with some of the positive things that did

38
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: come out of today, I thought the pass protection was better.

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: We've known the last you know, one of the conversations

40
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, Daniel Jones was sacked

41
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: twelve times combined the last two games.

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: No sacks today.

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: There was some pressure, but I thought for the most part,

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: the pass protection was definitely better than what it's been

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks.

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was better.

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: You know, as you mentioned, DJ did not get sacked today,

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: and that's always a positive. You don't watch your quarterbacks

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: getting hit and getting sacked and taking those unnecessary hits.

50
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: But there was some pressure on him and you know

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: that played a part in the game for Daniel, especially

52
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: in the second half where the completion percentage wasn't as

53
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: up as high as it was in the first half.

54
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: So I think, you know, hopefully correcting some of those

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: things as far as giving Daniel some more time not

56
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: being pressured as much, will help definitely offense move the

57
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: ball down the field. But to give off the line

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: credit for keeping Daniels somewhat clean where he didn't get pressured.

59
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't get sacked, but he did get pressured.

60
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: So hopefully they'll clean that up and to get better.

61
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: But I thought in the first half, you know, Daniel

62
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: Jones I think was ten for twelve in the first half,

63
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: so he did a nice job of getting the ball

64
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: to the guys and office lines did a good job

65
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: of getting some time to throw the ball.

66
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Now, looking at this from a defensive standpoint, some positives

67
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: I took. This is kind of a two part where

68
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: we can talk about both these guys. But Layatu Lasu,

69
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I felt like he really made his presence. Felt he

70
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: had that big interception, you know, the first defensive drive

71
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: of the game to set up the Colts for that

72
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: early touchdown. He was also credited with a full sack

73
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: today and that interception gives him three on the season,

74
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: so he leads the Colts and interceptions. He's now the

75
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: most interceptions by a defensive lineman in Colts franchise history.

76
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: So pretty impressive day out of Laya Tuo Latsu. But

77
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I also thought Jermaine Pratt really made his presence, felt.

78
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he had eighteen tackles. It's a career high

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: for him, and I felt like some of the tackles

80
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: were in just very very key moments when he's able

81
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: to find a gap and get to you know, it

82
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: seemed like Kareem Hunt was being met by you know,

83
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Jermaine Pratt. Often when the Colts needed to stop a

84
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: handful of times it was Jermaine Pratt. So I thought

85
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: those two guys defensive really had pretty solid days.

86
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, Pratt did a nice job. I thought he

87
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: played well today. You know, the tackles he had and

88
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: being there in some key situations making the stops, especially

89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: on hunt time or two there, but also a lot too.

90
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: You know, he played well. I thought he did a

91
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: nice job.

92
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: You know, that was an athletic play by lots of

93
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: you know, deflecting the ball then making sure you catch it.

94
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: That's not an easy thing to do, and especially for

95
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: a defensive lineman to do that and hold on to

96
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: the ball as he was getting tackled trying to get

97
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: into the end zone. Well, I wish he would have

98
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: gotten into the end zone. That would have been sweet

99
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: for him to get a touchdown as well. But you know,

100
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 3: he did a nice job and gives Ayra credit also.

101
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: Zaira I think had how many tackles he had today?

102
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: Zaire had fourteen tackles, so he had a good game today.

103
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: He made a big stop in that game as well.

104
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: So there were some good things. Some players made some

105
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: good plays. Some players did some nice things out there,

106
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: and Pratt was one of them. And you know give

107
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: him credit for coming in and having one. Having the

108
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: guy like that that understands lose defense helps out a lot.

109
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 3: He can help the guys around him, and also he

110
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: can make.

111
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: Big plays what he did today asolutely.

112
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Now now the last one I really want to highlight.

113
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: This doesn't mean this was all of the good, but

114
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: one of the things I did want to highlight was

115
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: Anthony Gould. He made his return back to the field.

116
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: He'd missed the last couple of games with a knee injury,

117
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: and in the punt game he averaged sixteen point three

118
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: yards per punt return. And Bill, I know we have

119
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: talked about this in the past that in the punt

120
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: return game, if you can get a first down average,

121
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: if you can average ten yards, it really helps flip

122
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: that field position. And today, I mean he averaged a

123
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: first down plus was sixteen yards per return. So I

124
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: thought that was a really nice boost the Colts got

125
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: back there in that punt return game.

126
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a great thing when you have your

127
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: part return that can get a first down for you.

128
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: And one of the one of the things that I've

129
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: always was taught and returning punts is first you gotta

130
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: make a good decision back there. That's the most important thing.

131
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: Make a good decision. You're gonna fair catch it, You're

132
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: gonna let it go you gotta return it. What are

133
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: you going to do? So you have to make a

134
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: good decision back there first, and then after that your

135
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: goals to of course hold on to the ball and

136
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: then get a first down. That's one less us down

137
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: the offense has to get if you can get a

138
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: first down and goold. And the part return team did

139
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: a nice job of averaging sixteen yards and getting a

140
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: first down plus. So that's one thing you want to

141
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: see that helps the offense, that helps the team. Like

142
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 3: I said, it helps flip the field if the guys

143
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: can get those yardage, especially more than ten yards and

144
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: get a first down. So hats off to Google for

145
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: what he did coming back and getting those yards on

146
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: the part return.

147
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Now we mentioned the Colts lost to Day, so there

148
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: are a handful of areas that you need to clean

149
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: up as you head into this upcoming game against Houston.

150
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: And I think it starts with the penalties. I mean

151
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: eleven total penalties, eight of them in the first half.

152
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, way too many penalties, and they came at

153
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: pretty bad times. I mean, some of these penalties came

154
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: when you're driving in towards the end zone and you

155
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: get some penalties to back you up offensively, and then

156
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: opportunities where you're close to getting off the field defensively

157
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: and you have a costly turnover. And a lot of

158
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: them were personal foul penalties. So there're those fifty teen

159
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: yarders that really make a huge impact. And I thought

160
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: that was one of the big things that really held

161
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: the Colts back in this game against the Chiefs were

162
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: those eleven total penalties.

163
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you can't beat yourself and you have

164
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: those self inflicted wounds. That just doesn't make doesn't make

165
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: things easier, and especially when you're going up against a

166
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: good team like the Kansa State Chiefs. Even though the

167
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: record was five and five, there's still a talented, good

168
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: team and well coached team. So it makes it very difficult.

169
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: And you know, the Coats came out, you know, the

170
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: first drive they had three penalties, yep, and that hurt

171
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: him bad. You know, they had a first down, it

172
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 3: got taken back and they had to punt the ball.

173
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: So yes, they did get a touchdown off of that

174
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: with a lot two making his play, but it's still

175
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: the coach from an offensive standpoint, couldn't move the ball

176
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: down the field because of those penalties, and those things

177
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: add up. You can't have those type of penalties, especially

178
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: when you're playing a team like the Kansasty Chiefs.

179
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: They're going to eventually take advantage of those things.

180
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: And when you have those penalties, you're also putting yourself

181
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: behind the eight ball because you don't get any first downs.

182
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: It makes it very difficult to get first downs.

183
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: When you're third and fifteen or second and fifteen, and

184
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: it makes them very difficult to continue a drive. And

185
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: then when you don't continue to drive, they give him

186
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: a ball to a guy that plays plays for those

187
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: moments where you know what they're they're they're the behind

188
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: and they can come back and win games. And you

189
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: don't want to give guys like that that many opportunities,

190
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: especially with Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes. Get those guys there

191
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: have many opportunities. Eventually they're going to capitalize, and unfortunately

192
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: that's what happens today.

193
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you talk about moving the football, and that

194
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: kind of leads us into our next point here Bill

195
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: the final four possessions for the offense, they just could

196
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: not move the football, so they converted a field goal

197
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: in the third quarter to make the game twenty to nine.

198
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: Their next four possessions were three in outs, all four

199
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: of them a total of twelve plays for eighteen yards.

200
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Once they got that twenty to nine lead late third

201
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: quarter into the fourth quarter, and he put it in

202
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: perspective to what the Chiefs did, and that's ban the

203
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs ran forty six plays for two hundred and ninety

204
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: one yards. They had a touchdown, a two point conversion,

205
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: and two field goals. That final field goal was the

206
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: game winner. But forty six plays compared to twelve after

207
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: the Colts took a twenty to nine lead, that is

208
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: just a massive, massive number when you look at the

209
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: difference there. And I know time of possession is something

210
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: that we'll talk about, but when you look at it

211
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: right there, it explains a lot why time and possession

212
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: was so heavily favored for Kansas City compared to the Colts.

213
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: When you look at it, just in that you know

214
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: that small portion essentially just the last quarter of the game.

215
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you only have twelve plays, you're not giving

216
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: yourself an opportunity really to make anything happen. I mean,

217
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: you're really minimizing your opportunities to make big plays and

218
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: kind of put a team away, and so they don't

219
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: have as many opportunities to go down and score and

220
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: you know, tie the game up or go ahead of you.

221
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: So very very disappointing, especially you know you talk about

222
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: that when you only have four possessions, I mean, you

223
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: have those last four possessions, you go three and out.

224
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: That is very very difficult to you know, win football games.

225
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: You just have to take advantage of those opportunities. And

226
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: when you have those opportunities, you have to win those

227
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: games and take advantage of those opportunities to hopefully go

228
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: down and score some points. And it can't say the Chiefs,

229
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: you know, they've been in those situations over the years.

230
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: So Patrick Mahomes, it wasn't anything. I don't think they

231
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: were panicking a lot. But you still have the opportunity

232
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: to kind of put this team away, and if you

233
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: did that earlier, you know, it wouldn't have to come

234
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: down to the end of the game and overtime and

235
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

236
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: The game would have been over earlier.

237
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: So you know, it's very disappointing that they didn't capitalize

238
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: on those opportunities, and that's something that they're going to

239
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: have to do, you know, moving forward, you have to

240
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: find ways to capitalize on those opportunities.

241
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: And the bottom line is you have to execute.

242
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 3: You just have to execute those plays so you can

243
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: get first down, so you can ease up some time,

244
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: move the ball down the field, fatigue out their defense,

245
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: and don't give the opponent opportunity to go down, score

246
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: themselves a tie the game up, we'll go ahead. So

247
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: sometimes Coat's gonna have to work on and hopefully, no,

248
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: I think they will get better at it and they'll

249
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: find a way to hopefully close games out, games like

250
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: that out and get a win.

251
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: And this is kind of big picture we're just talking

252
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: about here, you know, the overall you know, the amount

253
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: of possessions you aren't converting on. And one of the

254
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: things that I think that Joe Wrights, who was on

255
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: the call with Matt Taylor today on radio, the thing

256
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: that he kept saying every possession in those it was

257
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: all right, get a first down, get one first down,

258
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: and then you get then you look at it and

259
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: you get another first down. And that is one of

260
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: the things that I kept thinking too. It's like, if

261
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: you could just get a first down here, how much

262
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: it changes what they do defensively? And then if you

263
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: get a second first down, how much it changes. So

264
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: it sounds minor, but sometimes those are where games are

265
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: kind of on that teetteror totter. If you will, you

266
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: know you're you're one way or the other, and if

267
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: you just can't move the football, it really makes it hard.

268
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: And that's clearly what happened with the Colts now final

269
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: couple things, and I want to dive into just you know,

270
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: some individual players that really we saw positives and then

271
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: today I think we saw a little bit of a

272
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: step back. But I thought Daniel Jones in the first

273
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: half was great. He was ten of twelve ninety four

274
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns. But then in the second half you

275
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: got to tip your cat to Steve's tip your cap

276
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: to Steve's magnulo because he was able to make adjustments. Clearly,

277
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: because Daniel Jones was eight of eighteen for eighty three

278
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: yards in the second half, there was more pressure. We

279
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: talked about that. There was definitely a different sense of urgency,

280
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: it almost felt from the defensive side of the ball,

281
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: and it really made the Colts have some fits and

282
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: they weren't able to overcome that. So when you look

283
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: at it from a first half to the second half.

284
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was a completely different player in this game.

285
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. And now give can't say the Chiefs credit.

286
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: You know they did.

287
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure they did some things a little bit differently

288
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: in the second half to kind of put some more

289
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: pressure on Daniel Jones, to kind of maybe give him

290
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: the hurry up or rush up, rush some of the

291
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: throws that he had and make it more difficult for

292
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: him to get those throws off and to complete those throws.

293
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 3: So give can't say the Chiefs credit, you know, and

294
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: you knew that was going to happen because Spagnol likes

295
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: to bring pressure, he likes to pressure the quarterback. He

296
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: likes to do different things kind of for you So

297
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure they made some adjustments and do some a

298
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 3: few different things from a defensive standpoint, but you know,

299
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: give them credit.

300
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: They did a nice job.

301
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones played well, as I mentioned earlier in the

302
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: first half ten to twelve and you just mentioned it

303
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 3: as well. So but then the second half, unfortunately, things

304
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: didn't go the way for the coaches. And you know,

305
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: and those are things you have to clean up and

306
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 3: you have to be ready for because you know what's

307
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: going to happen. You know, you know, SPACs is not

308
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 3: going to just sit there and just wait, wait and

309
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: wait for something to happen. They're going to try to

310
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: make something happen. And when you go against teams like that,

311
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: they're going to try to force you and make something happen.

312
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: You have to be ready for those type of defenses

313
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: and hopefully you can encounter that and make some players yourself.

314
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: And then Jonathan Taylor, you know, he's probably the most

315
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: talked about cult player to this point with what he

316
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: has done in the NFL in twenty twenty five, leading

317
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: the league in essentially every rushing category, and he was

318
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: held in check sixteen carries for fifty eight yards. Clearly

319
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: the mission for the Chiefs defense was to stop the run,

320
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: and I think they did a really good job in

321
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: that category today. Sixteen carries for just fifty eight yards

322
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Taylor.

323
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought they'd try to do that.

324
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: Stopped and run and probably stopped and run on the

325
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: way to the quarterback to put some pressure on the quarterback.

326
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: And if you know, if they ran the ball, they

327
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: can tackle JT. And if they didn't, JT didn't have

328
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: the ball. Still get to the quarterback, So give him credit.

329
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: You know, they did a nice job of flowing a

330
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: run game down and with JT, you know, average with

331
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: three point six yards per carry. So give the chief

332
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: some credit and give Spaganello some credit for the things

333
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: they did out there in the football field. But you know,

334
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: you have to try try your best to hopefully get

335
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: the ball into JT's hands, but you have to have

336
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: the opportunity to do that. I mean, when you don't

337
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: have the ball that much, when you have ninety one

338
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: plays by the they can't say the Chiefs and you

339
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: only have fifty plays, it's makes it very difficult to

340
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: you know, have those opportunities to make plays for JT.

341
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: So it's one thing the Colts are gonna have to

342
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: work on and make sure that they you know, get

343
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: some first downs and hopefully possessed the ball a little

344
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: bit longer. At that way, they give themselves more opportunities

345
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: to make plays well.

346
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: And you know, you talk about Jonathan Taylor when you

347
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands, Jonathan Taylor has played

348
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: pretty pretty well against the AOC South. So with Houston

349
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: being the next team up, everybody's got a bad taste

350
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: in their mouth. I got a good I got a

351
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: good feeling that you're gonna see, you know, Prime Jonathan

352
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Taylor next week inside of Lucas Oil because he knows

353
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: this team, knows the importance of what that game will

354
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: mean on next Sunday, and he's looking at what he

355
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: did this most recent time out. I'm sure he wants

356
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more revenge coming off that one now

357
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: final thing on this game bill. And we've kind of

358
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: talked about it, but here are the numbers, and it's staggering.

359
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: The Colts had just ten total first downs. Now they

360
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: took a Kansas City Chiefs team into overtime, they had

361
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: ten first downs, the Chiefs had thirty three. The Chiefs

362
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: had the football for forty two minutes and thirty five seconds,

363
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: and the Colts just twenty five minutes and twenty eight seconds.

364
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: It's incredibly tough to win football games when those are

365
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: the numbers. So I'm sure that is also an area

366
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: this Colts team when they look at who they're playing

367
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: next week, that is going to be a point of

368
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: emphasis to try and make sure that those numbers do

369
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: not repeat themselves.

370
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: Definitely. I mean, you don't want to give a team

371
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: more opportunities.

372
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you give someone forty two minutes, yes, I

373
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: know it's overtime, but you give a team forty two minutes, yeah,

374
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: I'm possessing the football.

375
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: Eventually, you know what, your defense is going to be tired.

376
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: They're going to wear out.

377
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: And if you give a team like the Kansastate Chiefs

378
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: with Patrick Mahome with Andy Reid, they're eventually going to

379
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: figure things out and eventually going to score some points

380
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: and enough points to win a game.

381
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: So you can't get teams like that more opportunities, and

382
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: you have to.

383
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: Make sure you as a team try to convert some

384
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 3: of those third downs in the first downs and make

385
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: more first downs so that you can possess the ball

386
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: a little bit longer and they don't have as many opportunities.

387
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: Plus it gives you opportunity to hopefully score some points

388
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: as well. So that's something that I'm sure they will

389
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: look at and work on and hopefully will be a

390
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: lot better against the Houston Texans because Division A game

391
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: coming up, and these are big games now, and you know,

392
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: talk to some other people. You can't think about getting

393
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 3: the number one seed now. The most important thing right

394
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: now is trying to win a division, and you have

395
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: some division games coming up and you have to make

396
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: sure you win those games.

397
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: So those are very important for you to get into

398
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

399
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 3: And then once you get into the playoffs, then you

400
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: can worry about you know what, maybe we try to

401
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: get the number one seed here, number one seed and

402
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 3: get home feel advantage throughout the playoffs. But for right now,

403
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: the most important thing is win the division.

404
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, Bill, the season's not over, Nope, everything is

405
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: still in front of this team. The Colts are sitting

406
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: at eight and three now. As far as help goes,

407
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: when you're looking at the division and the playoff standings,

408
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: the Colts did not get a lot of help.

409
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: You know.

410
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars they're victorious in overtime over the Arizona Cardinals.

411
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: The Texans won on Thursday night, so both those teams

412
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: add a win in the win column. So the Texans

413
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: they now improved to six and five. The Jags they're

414
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: seven and four. So the AFC South, it's starting to

415
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: become a little bit closer. We kind of envisioned this

416
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: when the season started, but as you mentioned, the next

417
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: two weeks you have the Texans You got the Texans

418
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil on Sunday and then you travel to Jacksonville.

419
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: So you have a really good opportunity for the Colts

420
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: to take care of business like next couple weeks, give

421
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit more of a cushion inside the

422
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: AFC South, and then you talk about the first step

423
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: to getting the playoffs is winning the division. You get

424
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit closer to that. So, like I said,

425
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: eight three, everything is still in front of this team.

426
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: All of the goals you wanted, it's all still there.

427
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: But it all starts next week when the Houston Texans

428
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: come to town six and five against the eight and

429
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: three Colts. It's gonna be a big one. Bill. Thank

430
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: you so much for joining me tonight here on instant

431
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: reacts you have.

432
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: It's always fine.

433
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate you more than you know. So once again,

434
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: we will do this again next Sunday. As I mentioned,

435
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: it's the Houston Texans traveling to Indy. Finally the Colts

436
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: get to play back inside Lucas Oil Stadium. The last

437
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: home game technically was in Berlin, so it's been over

438
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: a month since the Colts have been inside the friendly confines.

439
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: Of Lucas Oil. But they're back there on Sunday. But

440
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: we just wrapped up the Colts crushing overtime loss here

441
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: on Instant Reaction. They fall to the Kansas City Chiefs

442
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: twenty three to three and overtime for Bill Brooks. I

443
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: am Casey Valier. We'll be back right here next Sunday

444
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: to talk again on instant Reaction.

445
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: Ta
