15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: Colts dot Com and and the voice of the Colts,

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. Now, guys, I wanted to introduce everybody. We

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: have Ryan Kelly, one of the captains of this team.

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: He'll be coming up on this podcast, but I gotta

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: start with the longest tenured cults, but the longest tenured

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: cult Ryan Kelly, the former number one out of Alabama.

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Here we go. The biggest camp news that I've seen

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: so far. Our rivals are today, cars are pulling up,

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: they're going through. Hey, We've got this sweatshirt and these

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: shorts and these cleats and everything's getting ready for tomorrow.

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: But the biggest news out of camp and letter, I

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: start with you. Darius Leonard is now known as Shaquille Leonard.

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: It is his middle name. And I was the one

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: who posed the question to Darius because I saw something

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 1: over the summer on social media in which he said

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: he prefers the name Shaquille over Darius. So I served

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: it up during the media availability as things were wrapping up,

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: and I said, most people know you as Darius, but

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Shaquille is your middle name. Can you explain the preference

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: in how you would like to be addressed? And he

35
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: said that growing up, entire family friends would all call

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: him Shaquille his middle name. He actually hates Darius. He

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: was only called Darius he was in school or if

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: he was in trouble. So he says that you know

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: shaq Shaquille d Leonard just find maniac is fine. He

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: just like doesn't as much like Darius. And the reason

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to just go ahead and address this up front.

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: Is how many weeks did we get into last year

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: when we finally realized that Bobby's proper pronuncikaraka and not okreeky.

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: And I found that out by other people, and I thought, well,

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: we should at least be the ones to know our

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: own players the best and be the ones to be

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: able to provide them the outlet to address how they

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: would want to be addressed or acknowledged. So yeah, so

49
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: that is like, but here's the thing, my takeaway from that,

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: if that's the biggest news of the day, you're in

51
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: a dang good position to start training if the biggest

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: thing is and you know, this was after Darius two

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: had talked about the back procedure and his ankles all

54
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: of those things, so it was at the very end

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: of the media session. But you can always have some

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: fun with Darius, and truthfully, like those are some of

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: the more fun things with Shaquil, With Shaquille, thank you

58
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: very much keeping me in check already. Yes, with shack

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Maniac Leonard, you can always have fun with him, and

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: he'd already been drilled enough about the back and you

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: know when you'll be ready he's not put a timeline

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: on it, and I was like, let's just serve this

63
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: up and see what we get. And we got a

64
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: little day one goal. J What are you doing Shaquille Shack?

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: What are you doing when I'm gonna do Shaquille? He

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: says he's gone by his whole life, but he said

67
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: that his rookie year, Randy Moss gave him some advice

68
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open.

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: So he said, you know, I just wanted to come

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: into camp at work. He did, and I didn't want

71
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: to tell anyone, Hey, actually, can you call me Shaquille?

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: He told some of his teammates like Zaire Franklin said

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: he told him during their rookie year in twenty eighteen, like, hey,

74
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, call me Shaquille. But for the rest of

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: the NFL universe, the media sphere, he never corrected anyone.

76
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: And I think it goes to, you know, kind of

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: like with Bobby o'karakay, where his whole story is all

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: about assimilation, right where that's why he went by Okareki

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: and his family went by Okareki. His dad went by

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: that when they moved to America. For Darius, it was

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of similar in a different setting, obviously, but he

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: wanted to assimilate to the NFL. He don't want to

83
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: cause any waves. So you call me Darius, all right,

84
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: that's fine. I'm just gonna go out there and do

85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: my work. Boy, Boys of the coach Matt Taylor's got

86
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: to say. He's gonna mention his name thirty five to

87
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: forty times an afternoon. He edd had nineteen tackles in

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: a game. I'm just say, so, what are you doing

89
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: on that? I mean, it's gonna be tough. I'm not

90
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna lie. It's gonna be a tough transition. I'll do

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: my best. But there's there's there's gonna be some Darius

92
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Leonards slippage, There's gonna be some refer But I don't

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: think he's offended by that. This is just what he prefers. Like.

94
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Zyer just calls him d Leonard, So calls him Bro.

95
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: So Bro. I don't know if I can get away

96
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: with Bro. Here's my thing, it's a pretty simple ask

97
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: to just pronounce someone's name proper. Sure, at the core

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: of it, to just have the awareness of what someone's

99
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: preferences to be acknowledged as what you're calling them by

100
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: It's truly just one of the foundations of being respectful

101
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: of another human being and being aware of it's also

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: you you know this, it's kind of awkward. I'm sure

103
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: when people call you, oh, you know, Laura, can you

104
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: come over here, and it's kind of like, that's true, Laura. Yeah,

105
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, everybody does that. It makes me mad

106
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: when I hear it. I'm trying to get a hold

107
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: of Laura over to well. I miss spoke even We

108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: showed up for our anniversary dinner last night and I

109
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: talk Lara Arts and my husband looks like he really

110
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: it's a second dding anniversary. Tucker's hanging out on those Yeah. Yeah, So,

111
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I can't be too met anybody else.

112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: I botched my own great. Do we know why he

113
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: doesn't like Darius? I think I think what I had

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: heard this morning and Lara alluded to it, was he's

115
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: known in his hometown and within family members as Shaquale

116
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: or Shack. I mean everybody back home, everybody in the

117
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: family is and he's like, hey, you know this is

118
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: one I'm known as Darius only out here when I'm

119
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: between the white stripes out there. So I like it.

120
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: I like that the kids started early and said hey,

121
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be known as Shack and here we go.

122
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: I also get why it took him until now. I mean,

123
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: this is something that you can't force, you know, you

124
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: kind of have to say, like, yeah, this is what

125
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: I want to be called. But I get why he's

126
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's aablished in the league and I can

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: hear I can make this request. It is. It is tough, though,

128
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: because he's played an entire contract on one day, by

129
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: the way, then played damn good foot and league to

130
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: be a Hall of fame and that's not hyperbole because

131
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: he led the NFL and takeaways now hold on. He

132
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: He also has said that when he was asked a

133
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: bit ago about whether it should be changed on the roster,

134
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: he said, no, it was fine if the roster stayed

135
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: there officially, like on the It's not like the roster

136
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: name is gonna change. It's just in conversation. How we

137
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: approach him. Saw him, saw him in the lunch room

138
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: about an hour ago. He's sitting by himself, walked by him, Shack,

139
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: what's up the fifth bump? How are you doing? It?

140
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Was it we throw it on him day one and

141
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: it worked. Yeah, so I'm just selling its started the

142
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: slightest clean in twenty twenty two. Seriously that this is

143
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: the biggest news of its great wet we got Zia Franklin.

144
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: Zia Franklin was like, man, if we could just spend

145
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: four weeks figuring out what Darius's name is going to

146
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: be in the program, that would be great. But we

147

155
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: one mile at least one mile run or ran. Is

156
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: it a day that includes Christmas, that includes New Year,

157
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: that includes rading days, sleeping, snow, wedding day. This woman

158
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: has gotten at least a mile run in for one

159
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: thousand days. I'm sorry, guys, but for me to go

160
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: from the living room to the kitchen is an effort.

161
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: That's three plus years. Haven't done anything consistently for three

162
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: plus outside of brush your teeth. Yeah, I was just

163
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: about to say deodering. I can't hit a I didn't

164
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: hit a thousand because I had a couple off days.

165
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: I when the pandemic. That was easy to congratulations. That's awesome, guys,

166
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: that I mean for a person to do that and

167
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: make that dedication, Lara, you gotta stick. That's why I

168
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: stick close to her. That's why I steal most of

169
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: the stuff that I have, Lara Overton. Listen. First practice

170
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: tomorrow unfolds at noon up here at Graham Park again.

171
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Go to Colts dot com slash Camp. You'll have all

172
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: your information. I'm gonna start with JJ stake if it's first.

173
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard just spoke. Everybody wants to know, and of

174
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: course he's gonna massage a few of the answers because

175
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: it's early in training camp. Your brief initial takeaways from

176
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: what Ballard had to say. All right, one thing, let's

177
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: never we don't even talk about Jhulio Jones ever again. Yeah, Like,

178
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't know where those rumors came from. I don't

179
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: know who's putting them out there. But Chris Ballard said,

180
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: I don't really like talking about guys who, you know,

181
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: how aren't here. I'm here, but we've not had any

182
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: discussions about Julio Jones put that to bed T why

183
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Hilton still could be in the mix. He didn't say that.

184
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: As for the guys who are placed on the pup

185
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: list and the n Jack Leonard one of them, Shack

186
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: Leonard one of them, there's no timetable on Leonard. That's

187
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: both from Chris Ballard and from Shack that he said,

188
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm ready to be back out there,

189
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to be back out there. He sounds confident

190
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: in where everything is because with the back surgery he

191
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: underwent back in June. It was to alleviate pressure. Two

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: discs were pressing on some nerves in his back and

193
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: the pain then radiated down his leg into his calf

194
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: into his ankle, which have been painful issues for him

195
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: over the last He didn't play at a hundred at

196
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: all last year. I mean, you remember it like he

197
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: would get up there his media sessions and hey, how's

198
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: your ankle. It's attached, and he said he he told

199
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: to stay. He's like, I didn't mean to be bland,

200
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: but like that's all I could say about it. Yeah,

201
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: like it's a it's I can still, I guess move

202
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: on it. But it seems like they've identified the source

203
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: of this pain. They've alleviated it. He said he's already

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: felt a difference. That's all good news. Taekwon Lewis and

205
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: Rodney McLeod two guys who placed on PUP. That does

206
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: not sound like a long term issue with both of

207
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: them obviously Taekwon coming back from the knee and three

208
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: last year Rodney McLoud had a minor knee procedure after OTAs.

209
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like both those guys are close. Mike Strawn

210
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: is also on PUP. He underwent a procedure. He might

211
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: be back by the end of camp. Is how Chris

212
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: Ballard framed at Eric Johnson, the second defensive tackle. He

213
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: is on the NFI list because he suffered a back

214
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: injury while training away from the facility. He doesn't sound

215
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: like a long term thing either. So the one of

216
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: those that concerns me the most is just for his

217
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: own yes, for his ability to make the roster, because

218
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: as always this time of year, it's that crowded wide

219
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: receiver room, and so there is a bit of concern

220
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: in terms of Michael getting enough opportunity to be on

221
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: the field and show what he can do. So he

222
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: makes that fifty three man roster. So that is going

223
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: to be a big factor to watch, in particular how

224
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: that impacts the amount of time he gets with Matt Ryan.

225
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: And we're going to find that out because camp is

226
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: opening tomorrow at twelve noon. Matte I want to talk

227
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: about another pup that JJ just mentioned, but the battle

228
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: here and Lara, please give me your thoughts. Rodney McLoud

229
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: is a veteran, a guy that they're bringing in here

230
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: to get reps. They know what his reputation is. They

231
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: wind him on the field. He's not starting on the field, right.

232
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: Is this a Nick Cross era that's starting early that

233
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: they're saying, hey, we've got a starting rookie as our

234
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: safety when Campbell, well, we know the cults are incredibly

235
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: high on him and Chris Ballard. Another takeaway that I

236
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: had and we kind of already knew this after the

237
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: draft when the dust kind of settled in April, but

238
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean Nick Cross to them stuck out like a

239
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: sore thumb because he was so high up on their

240
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: draft board and a guy that had the possibility of

241
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: going in the second round or early third round. So

242
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: they're like, we gotta get this guy because he's clearly

243
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: the best player on our board. He's still available, Let's

244
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: be aggressive, Let's go get him. That's exactly what he did,

245
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: and we've talked about it on previous shows and podcast, Jeffrey.

246
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: This guy's just oozing with talent and potential, but he's

247
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: never played in a game, whereas Rodney McLeod has ten

248
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: years of playing experience in one hundred and twenty three

249
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: starts under his belt. So I think it just battles

250
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: to boils down to when is McLoud going to be

251
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: ready and truly who has the best camp, you know,

252
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: in these three or four weeks in the month of August,

253
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and how much acclamation can Nick Cross get in a

254
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: short amount of time, Because like it or not, those

255
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: first couple of games, you know, for three of your

256
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: first four games are so important. They're going to count

257
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: as double playing in the AFC South. You're starting on

258
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: the road at Houston at Jacksonville. You want to get

259
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: off to a good start. We've talked about that at nauseum.

260
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: You know that that the bugaboo that the early portion

261
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: of the season has been for the Colts. Do you

262
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: want savvyness? Do you want leadership? Do you want experience

263
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: in the secondary? When you when you're desperate to get

264
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: off to a good start in AFC South twofold to

265
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: biggieback on that. One thing to note is that Julian

266
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: Blackman is expected to be full go to start camp.

267
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: So when you talk about the safety position, incredible recovery. Yeah, again,

268
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: I call him Wolverine because he like heels like freakishly

269
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: well and freakishly quick. But when Matt talked about the

270
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: slow starts, this was one to me one of the

271
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: bigger storylines that I don't think has gotten as much

272
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: conversation yet. Should is Chris Ballard mentioned when he was

273
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: asked about this noon start time, and he said that

274
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: they consulted, worked heavily with Rusty Jones, who's director of

275
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: the strength conditioning program, and all the strength and conditioning coaches,

276
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: and the goal, the mindset of having noon practices as

277
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: opposed to those early morning practices was to help this

278
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: team start better when the season begins because it's closer

279
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: to a one o'clock kickoff, you're getting into a bit

280
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: of that body circadian rhythm where you're starting to get

281
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: your body rests or get your body used to being

282
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: at peak performance middle of the day, so warmup, right.

283
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: So this is all part of attempting to you know,

284
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: as Matt said the start of this season, that dark

285
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: clown that has hung over the Indianapolis Colts for the

286
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: past few years of starting with with with losses to

287
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: the year, this goes back to it starts right now

288
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: at the indential. It's partly the noons start and the

289
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: other part of it is there are you know, some

290
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: more rest days built in which just walk through days.

291
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: That's something to Forrest Buckner mentioned when I asked him,

292
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: you know what what makes for a successful camp, and

293
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: he said, it's really taken care of your body. This

294
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be bucks seventh camp. He's he's got a

295
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: lot of experience with that. And he mentioned as part

296
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: of that some of these these lighter days where you're

297
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: still getting you're still getting the mental reps and you're

298
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: still getting the work in, but it's not as physically taxing.

299
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: And a couple players did mention that, you know, last

300
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: year's camp was a grind. That it was a physical

301
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: grind and not necessarily the yeah look coming and gays

302
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: got hurt and camp well right, and you know, I

303
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: don't know if that was because it was a grind.

304
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: You know, the injuries to Carson and Quinton were just

305
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: like freakish. But the fact of the matter is the

306
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: cold started doing three. So if you're trying to change it,

307
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: you're trying to everything's got to be looked at, right,

308
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: Everything's got to be looked at. So I think, you know,

309
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: the noons start time, more more lighter days up here

310
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: are an effort to try to reverse that. Because the

311
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: Colts haven't won in week one and what is it now?

312
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: We talked about ad nauseum. We talked about this for

313
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: a year after year after year. The owner when he

314
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: talks to the team, which will happen today at four

315
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: to fifteen, which is today Tuesday before open camp, when

316
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: you're open, and how many times he said win and

317
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: it's against a division opponents, so you better win. Last

318
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: year home opener, when the home opener went, you know,

319
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna compare myself to an NFL athlete because

320
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't even close to that. But we played all

321
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: of our college football games at one, and then we

322
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: played in the NC Double A tournament across the board.

323
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: Every game in the Eastern time zone in the NC

324
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Double A tournament had to be played at noon, rights

325
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: and stuff well for equal rest time, I guess for

326
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: the next week. And so just playing that hour earlier

327
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: threw everything off. I mean, we were all off because

328
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: we all played games at one o'clock. I mean, you

329
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: say it's an hour difference, but man, that makes such

330
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: a difference in terms of body clock and just how

331
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: you feel in terms of adrenaline going into the game.

332
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: So it's a small tweak, but I think in the

333
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: long run, hopefully it's going to turn out to be

334
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: something that paid big difference. You know, time will tell

335
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: on that thing, because we'll be back here a year

336
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: from now and find out if that worked. That's Matt Taylor,

337
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: Voice of the Colts. Find them on Twitter at May

338
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: Take Colts. It's all right at May Take Colts. JJ

339
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Stankovitz on Twitter at JJ Stankovitz, and of course at

340
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: Lara Overton. Okay, I'm gonna throw the curveball, and I'm

341
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: starting with l O. I have the easy job here,

342
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: the low hanging fruit. I grab it depth position depth

343
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: on this team, and I start with the wide receiver group.

344
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I say, okay, the established guys, are they there, Michael Pittman,

345
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: we saw the thousand yards season. T Y Hilton not

346
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: on the roster right now. Depth in that position, you

347
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: can touch on that, But I want to start with Lara.

348
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: What other position groups are you saying, Hey, we're gonna

349
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: find out what position group has the depth that's on

350
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: paper right now, but they have to do it on

351
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: the field. Where are any concerns you might have. I

352
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't say concerned, But one thing I'm really interested in

353
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: the competition is along the defensive line because of the

354
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: combination of young guys that you have and vet guys

355
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: who are you know, established in that role. I think

356
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: that you know it's that front. The starters are pretty

357
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: much set, but we know that the depth at that

358
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: position is such a premium. Chris Ballard has hit that

359
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: over and over again, and you kind of saw last

360
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: year you when you lost a guy like al Quaity Mohammed,

361
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: the impact that that had. When you have a guy

362
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: who has such great versatility like Taekwon Lewis when he

363
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: was lost for the season, where you lost that component

364
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: of the defensive line. So you know, you've you've had

365
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: draft picks at that position. You of course have you

366
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: know Quitty, which an interesting note on Quitty pay he

367
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: showed up to camp with glasses. He was having a

368
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: vision issue in his left eye. Actually is going to

369
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: be wearing some contacts now this year, so he thinks

370
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: that's going to really improve what he's able to do.

371
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: He also spent the majority your entient state the majority,

372
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: but spent several weeks of the offseason working out with

373
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner and a few other guys in Oklahoma with

374
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: the trainer who DeForest chooses. So that's going to have

375
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: an impact. I think Quitty's being set up for a

376
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: big year. But Diodangbo, of course, coming off of a

377
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: partial season, We're coming from the Achilles, all of those guys,

378
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, kind of behind Grover Buckner, Quitty, Dio. I

379
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a huge competition battle that

380
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: we're going We mentioned a wide receiver position, JJ Stankovitz,

381
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: We mentioned the defensive line depth. Any concerns do you

382
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: have across his camp? So what I want to see

383
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: offensive line depth. You know, it's the same thing. You

384
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: always want to be strong on the D line and

385
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: the old line on both sides of the line of

386
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: scrimmage and an old line. You know. There's obviously the

387
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: battle at left tackle between Matt Pryor and Bernard Ryman,

388
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: which is one I had a Q and A with

389
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: Frank Reich that's up on kolts dot com. He said,

390
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, usually around the second preseason game, you want

391
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: to have a starting five set on the line. So

392
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: that's about wow in that range. Let's say that again,

393
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 1: by the second preseason game out of three, right, they

394
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: want to know who that because you need to develop continuity.

395
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: And Chris Ballard followed up on that today on Tuesday,

396
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: saying that, you know what what he really looks for

397
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: in that battle is how the guys doing team in

398
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: full eleven on eleven because that's when you're getting that continuity.

399
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: So if you have you know, one on one and

400
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: you know you're like Matt Pryor looks Awesomon one on one,

401
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: Bernard Ryman looks Awesomon one on one, watch what they're

402
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: doing in team because that cohesiveness, you know, an old

403
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: line plays as a unit more than maybe any other

404
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: part of a team. So you gotta have five guys

405
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: playing as one. That's gonna be something I'm gonna watch for.

406
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: But also depth on the line. You know what what

407
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: happens at right guard. Danny Pinter kind of has a

408
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: leg up there, but Will Fry as a guy trained

409
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: with him up in Chicago with old crews, the great

410
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: former Chicago Bears Center. They all worked out together up there.

411
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a little competition there, but you always need

412
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: to have good depth because it that what was it

413
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen season where basically the same offensive line

414
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: was together for most of the eighteen nineteen nineteen didn't

415
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: miss a snap, right or something like that. That type

416
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: of a season is unprecedented and you can't really count

417
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: on that. So you're gonna need guys to rotate in.

418
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: You hope it's not to the extent it was last

419
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: year where Braden Smith who's in and out, Quinton Nelson

420
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: is in and out, rank Kelly was in and out.

421
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: But you want to make sure you have good depth

422
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: behind the starting five whenever you do decide on that.

423
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: Take wide receivers mentioned offensive line, you mentioned defensive line.

424
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: We'll go linebacker because you do have good I guess

425
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: first and second string depth. You've got E J. Speed

426
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: and Zaire Franklin. But listen to it again. We talked

427
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: about this earlier, Matt again, this guy, this all world

428
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: everything linebacker is starting out on the publist and I

429
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: know what you said, Lara about it. It It doesn't look

430
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: very good. But this is an issue when it comes

431
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: into camp, when your star players are watching practice and

432
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: in this star up talking about Shack Leonard, it is

433
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: that you know, there you go. I'm just saying, it's

434
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: the you know, getting in the comfort zone. It's so

435
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: huge right now. Is that going to be an effective

436
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, who gets more snaps coming up? Right?

437
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: And let me ask to the group. I mean the

438
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: vibe that I got from Shack Leonard today was it's

439
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: it's I don't know how much we're going to see

440
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: him in the month of August. That that's just the vibe.

441
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: Remember what Frank christ he was very hesitant to obviously

442
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: he said, I'm not going to put a timeline on it,

443
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: but I don't think we need to see him. But

444
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: I also think we won't see him at that very much.

445
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of what Frank said back in June when

446
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, what would you like to

447
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: get Darius out there in practice and in games? Like, yeah,

448
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: you would, But does he need it? You know he

449
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: in Frank's mind, he said, as long as he's ready

450
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: for the start of the regular season, we're good that.

451
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, Darius Leonard doesn't need to play in the preseason. Guys, yeah,

452
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of like I would like to.

453
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, some people, some people might make a bigger

454
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: deal about, oh, he's got a new defense, he's got

455
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: to learn all this. But Darius today was like, look,

456
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: football's football. When you're Darius Leonard, you can say that.

457
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: When you're you're the only player in NFL history who's

458
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: had four eight forced fumbles and four interceptions in a

459
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: single season, you can be like, dude, scheme whatever, Like

460
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: I'll pick it up. I'm good enough to do that.

461
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm smart enough to do that, right, And like I said,

462
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: what you want is Darius Leonard to hit the ground

463
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: running at point zero where he doesn't have any underlying issues,

464
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: because he's gonna accumulate a lot of other issues just

465
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,239
Speaker 1: by the nature of playing linebacker. In the NFL. It's

466
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: a very demanding and physical position obviously, But behind Darius Leonard,

467
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: you've got e. J. Speed, You've got Zayre Franklin, and

468
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: that's really quality depth. But behind those guys, you've lost

469
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: some of the depth that you've had that mainly served

470
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: special team's purposes the last couple of years. Jordan Glasgow

471
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: is no longer on the team. Matt Adams was a

472
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: core special teams player. Now you've got guys like Joe

473
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Joe Dolman and a Nebraska undrafted free agent. Is he

474
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: gonna make the teams? You know from Yeah, guy from

475
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: Cicero Forrest Ryan, great name by the way. Name. So

476
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: bottom line is, I know it's not the most pressing,

477
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: uh position battle or depth piece conversation wise that we've had,

478
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: but it is something that we're gonna have to note

479
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: because of the Cults. Keep five six linebackers, probably more

480
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: like six on the active roster, and right now you

481
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: feel good about four. So there's there's positions up for

482
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: grabs that are again gonna mainly place facial teams and

483
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: inevitably under Bubba Ventrone play a key role for this team.

484
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, right, their Voice of the Colts. Lara Overton,

485
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: JJ Stankovitz. I'm Gorman. It's a fun discussion to have

486
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: when you're talking about new coordinators coming in and what

487
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: they bring. I spoke to Kenny Moore earlier today and

488
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: I said, what's going on with you and Gus Bradley.

489
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: He knows exactly what I was talking about. He says,

490
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: Oh love this, Oh love this. Let's the playmaker shine,

491
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: et cetera. Lara, I'll start with you the Gus Bradley

492
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: effect on this defense. Just been talking with the players

493
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. What have you taken away

494
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: from that? Well, one of the things is Gus isn't

495
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: just a coordinator. Gus has been a head coach, so

496
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: he has that ability to engage his guys, right Like

497
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: you think about the presence that Frank Craik brings in

498
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: when he commands a team meeting and how he delivers

499
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: a message. One of the things in talking to other

500
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: teams where Gus has been and the impact that he has,

501
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: he captivates people, he gets it. He's able to connect

502
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: really well with players on a different level. And so

503
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: even beyond you know, of course, all of the things

504
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 1: in scheme, and you know how that allows guys to

505
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: be put in place to achieve their potential and to

506
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: play up to where they want to be. He just

507
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: is an incredible coach and he loves what he does,

508
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: and he loves his players, and he has a unique

509
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: ability to connect with them and to drive in certain

510
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: principles and certain lessons and what he wants to get

511
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: out of them and how he wants this defense to

512
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: be implemented. So and hearing from a lot of guys,

513
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: there's that factor, and that's something that is special. You know,

514
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: that's just a special characteristic you know that certain people have,

515
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: and Gus Bradley has that with the defense too, something

516
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: that when I was talking to Frank about it yesterday

517
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: for that Q and Egg and that's Oncolts dot com,

518
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: he said that Gus has added some tweaks. He wouldn't

519
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: tell me what they were, obviously, because that's going to

520
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: be a schematic thing. But you know, Gus's is known

521
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: as like playing a very simple cover three and like

522
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: that's really when you dig into it, that's really not

523
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: the case. There are some variations that Gus runs, whether

524
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: it's with some man match stuff with some different things

525
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: to do with the safety. I almost wanted to go

526
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: back to our safety conversation, you know, Ballard said, we do,

527
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: we want to get better depth as safety, but you know,

528
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: having three safety looks, it's kind of this like slow

529
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: new wave around the NFL. I wonder if you might

530
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: see some of that, explain that, to explain that to

531
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: the plumbers and doctors out there. Are they taking a

532
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: cornerback off the field and refilling them with the safety?

533
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: I think I think it could be. It could be

534
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: a linebacker, it could be a cornerback, it could be

535
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, you could kind of do whatever flavor of

536
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: it you want, just to kind of add that different

537
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: to mention because safeties are so stressed nowadays. It used

538
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: to be the linebackers are stressed a lot in coverage.

539
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: Now safeties are getting stressed significantly in coverage on the

540
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: back end because of all these vertical routes and some

541
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: of the concepts that are out there. Maybe that's a

542
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: wrinkle we see. I'm very interested to see if when

543
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: Rodney McLoud gets back during camp, if there are any

544
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: periods where, hey, we're using three safeties, whatever those wrinkles

545
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: are that Gus Bradley has sprinkled in. I think those

546
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: are gonna be beneficial. You also wonder what John Fox's influence.

547
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: The Fox is a guy who's played a lot of

548
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: quarters in his career. Give Chicago love, get it out

549
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: of the way for Chicago bear head coach he is.

550
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, you just you wonder if those

551
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: are some things that maybe are are gonna get sprinkled

552
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: in with Gus Bradley's I've got a Gust Bradley thing

553
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: for you. But I got to go back to j

554
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: jan We're so close to Portillo, Yeah, I mean you're

555
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: right up the street here, less than like a mile

556
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: and a half. Did will you hit it up here

557
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: at camp? You love Portillo's it's boiled? Well you hit

558
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: it up at a probably not. But I'm gonna buy no, no, no, no,

559
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: no, no no no no. I'll buy everybody launching because I

560
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: said i'd do that. I'm not into the boiled beef

561
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: make in. You had a chocolate cake, shit fun, so

562
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: I'd say I could do that. Chocolates a soggy bun.

563
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: I'm out with you. I don't know your integrity, your bunt, No,

564
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: your bun's gotta be sopping well. For God's sakes, JJ,

565
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to this. I get Portillo's about ten times.

566
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: I will. I'll get you the Portillos, Yannike and got Way.

567
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring it back to you, he says,

568
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: I'm going where Guss is going. I mean, obviously you've

569
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: seen playing for it. What kind of your are you

570
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: expecting out of this free agent? And Yannike and Goatway

571
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: and again, what have you heard from the guy so

572
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: far in the office season about playing for this cat? Well,

573
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: I mean just following him and watching him and engage

574
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: with fans on social media, like the guy's falling in

575
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: love with Colts fans in the city of Indianapolis, in

576
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: the community. But he's just gonna have a domino effect

577
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: on the defense because he's gonna come in here and

578
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: get his eight to ten sacks Jeffrey, and he's gonna

579
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: impact the game. He's gonna get in front of quarterbacks.

580
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna, obviously, you know, get timely third down stops.

581
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna be good against the run. But he's gonna

582
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: help DeForest Buckner, and DeForest Buckner is no longer gonna

583
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: see two guys in his face the entire game. He's

584
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna help Quitti Pay go from a four sack season

585
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: two almost said, maybe hopefully an eight or a ten

586
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: sacks season. So he's gonna have a domino effect across

587
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: the defensive line. And when you go third down and

588
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: you got Unique and Gackway, DeForest Buckner, you take off

589
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Grover Stewart, you even Quitti Pay, you put in either

590
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: Taekwon Lewis when he's healthy or dio Edangbo Like, that's

591
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: just a domino effect of production that you're going to

592
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: have on the defensive line. And so you can mean

593
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: to circle back to Gus Bradley. I mean, it's just

594
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: it is a simple defense. It's not overly complicated. It

595
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: has changed from just a Cover three if you will,

596
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: over the course of time. But it's gonna be attack.

597
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna be more tackless for loss. It's gonna be

598
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: more pressures, quarterback hits and sacks. And that's what the

599
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: Colts needed last year. We needed to get in front

600
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks face to limit the high completion percentage and

601
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: to slow down big bass from receiver J J. L.

602
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: I ask you the same thing when Eberflus was here.

603
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: It was all about takeaways, all about stopping the run. Okay,

604
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: are we in the same effect with Gus Bradley Get

605
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: the ball, see the ball, Go get the ball. I

606
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: mean you're just trying to You're trying to marry the

607
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: strength of what you have in place and what Gus

608
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: Bradley has historically been able to do, especially with guys

609
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: on his roster like Unique and Got if you've got

610
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: a good pass for a ship helps with your takeaways. Well,

611
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: what the Coults are able to do on Matt Eberflus

612
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: is not unique, but it was. It was Chicago. It

613
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: was actually surprising, yeah, in a good way that they

614
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: got so many takeaways by limiting or right, I should say,

615
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: by putting a pressure or lack thereof, right, because you

616
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: usually takeaways and pressure are a little bit connected. He's

617
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: usually a little bit of correlation there where. If you

618
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of pressure, your corners can be more aggressive,

619
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: your safeties can be more aggressive. If you don't, but

620
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Darius Leonard, you can get

621
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: to those numbers anyway. I think the the pressure that

622
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: consistent attack mindset from this Colts line, you know, left

623
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: to right within Gockway and pay and Buck and Odang

624
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: Bone Grover and those guys that will then help Kenny

625
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: Moore the seconds to find Gilmour, Isaiah Rodgers, Julie by

626
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: the way, sneaky big Gilmore. Oh yes, sneaky big yeah,

627
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: sneaky big dude. I mean I walked it'll oh you

628
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, you're saying he's sneakily like size wise, he's

629
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: a bigger I thought I thought you're saying, snea key big.

630
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: I thought he was the size of Carter Valia for

631
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: a minute. You know, young you know, a long guy,

632
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: quick tench man, you know what I mean, speed Merchant. No,

633
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: he's four years old. But I'm just saying, you know,

634
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: he's a smaller thing. But no, I'm just saying that

635
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 1: sneaky big yeah. He is one of the things too.

636
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: With you know, the defensive production, with the takeaways, I

637
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of that came from this sheer athleticism

638
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: that this group has because you've just drafted guys with

639
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: the traits that provided you the opportunity to do that,

640
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: and I think it lended to a ton of that,

641
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: not necessarily in how things were implemented, but their opportunity

642
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: to rely upon instinct and athletics. So many opportunities for

643
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: you guys to follow along. Here three of the best

644
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: that cover in the NFL. I'm talking about JJ stank Of,

645
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: It's Matt Taylor, Lara Overton. I have the easy job

646
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: here because I'm just trying to throw up softballs and

647
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: this is not a softball. But I'm going to go

648
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: to I'm going to start with Lara on this one.

649
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: The difference between Matt Ryan this year as a coach

650
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: quarter back in camp compared to last year when another

651
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: free agent came in in the name of Carson Wentz.

652
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: I'll help you with this. We had an it wasn't

653
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: a free agent. He was traded. I traded. Rather, I'll

654
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: help you with this, non COVID tested had the early

655
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: ankle in journey of practice. What do the coach want, need,

656
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: absolutely expect out of their leader this year? What they

657
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: have and Matt Ryan, Well, I think when you said

658
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: leader that hits on it the most. It's it's the leadership.

659
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: It's the presence on the field, in the huddle, huddle,

660
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: it's the presence in the locker room. It's the accountability.

661
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, naim Hinz said today that when Matt Ryan

662
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: talks like he gets chills, like everyone is at attention.

663
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: It's similar more closely to what these guys experienced when

664
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was here, and just that more veteran savvy

665
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: type of experience and perspective. So I mean, it's just

666
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: that Carson didn't have as much of that just because

667
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: he hasn't played as long. There's nothing that you're gonna

668
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: throw Matt Ryan into that he hasn't seen or been through.

669
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: So he just he speaks from a place of being

670
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: very authentically experienced. He has in ability to connect with guys.

671
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: He also, I think, knows what he can do with

672
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: the assets he has, the offensive line, he has, Jonathan Taylor,

673
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: the role that they have carved out now for nihiem Hinz,

674
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: this young group of tight ends led by Molei Cox,

675
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: and then you have the receivers led by Michael Pittman Junior,

676
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: and you know you could still have movement with that.

677
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: I think he's he is relishing and having a fresh start.

678
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: He feels like this gives him a great opportunity to

679
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: have this kind of final chapter of his career in

680
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: Indianapolis with a great organization, a place he's really excited

681
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: to be He just seems like he's been revitalized with this.

682
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: He wasn't necessarily, I think, seeking a new team. It

683
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: wasn't like he needed a fresh start. But Watson, I

684
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: think he's embracing the fresh start that he has and

685
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 1: I think he sees that you know, this is I mean,

686
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: the only team he'd known prior to this is Atlanta.

687
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: So I think that this has been eye opening for

688
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: him in a really positive way. And you're quickly seeing

689
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: the connection that he has already established across the locker room,

690
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: not just with any I mentioned Shaun Watson because when

691
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: he was on the market or available and in Texans,

692
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta was one of the teams that said,

693
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: what's it gonna take to get this guy? And that

694
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: sends a message to their long time quarterback. I'm not

695
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: comparison Carson Wentz with Matt Ryan. I'm not doing it.

696
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: But the cults are expecting different this year from their leader.

697
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: What will they get? Matt? I just think you're going

698
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: to get production, elite level accuracy, ball placement, decision making,

699
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: and just presence in the huddle. Hall of Famer, yes,

700
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: I would say so, Yeah, I mean, he's when it's

701
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: all said and done, if he plays another two three years,

702
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: I would say, so he's going to be top five

703
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: and everything in terms of passing all time. Oh yeah, okay,

704
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: so then so then what's the knock on him? It's

705
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: sort of like Philip Rivers. It's postseason success, you know.

706
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: But I think Matt Ryan obviously has more than than

707
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers by playing in a Super Bowl. But no,

708
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what if he plays in another one,

709
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: he's there there it is. Here's my bold predict one

710
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: of them. If if Matt Ryan is throwing for forty

711
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: one hundred yards and twenty five to thirty touchdowns and

712
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: is completing sixty five percent of his passes, the Colts

713
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: have won eleven games with that matter that with those numbers,

714
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: give me that riddle again. You want forty one hundred,

715
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: and you know what all of us, all of those numbers,

716
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: forty one hundred, you want sixty five sixty five percent

717
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: accuracy and you got twenty five to thirty, twenty five

718
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: to thirty over how many picks tho uh single did yeah?

719
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: Reasonable number ten ten or less? And that those are

720
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: all very that's eleven wins. Those are all average Matt

721
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: Ryan seasons. Those those numbers are stereotypical Matt Ryan. So

722
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: if he gives you what he has given the Falcons

723
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: for fourteen plus years, plus an above average run game

724
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: right an above average defense went healthy this this team

725
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: has won eleven games. If Matt Ryan gives you a

726
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan JJ. We're about to go to Ryan Kelly,

727
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: who's kind enough to sit down with us. I want

728
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: to ask you about that that quarterback. Then you were

729
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: right there with Carson Wentz last year. You saw the injury,

730
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: you saw the COVID stuff that went through. Compared to

731
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and what they have now, the difference that

732
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: the Colts fans are going to see on the field

733
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: is so Something that Frank told me in our conversation

734
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: that really stuck out was that with Matt Ryan, you

735
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: don't have to call a perfect play every single play

736
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 1: because he can read out a play, read the defense,

737
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: find the right guy in the progression, and get the

738
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: ball to him with accuracy. That's something that not a

739
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks have in them where you don't have

740
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: to be perfect as a play caller, and that's that

741
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: allows you to do a lot more. I think if

742
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: you're not caught up in we gotta scheme this up

743
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: to get this guy open on this play against this coverage.

744
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: It's just like, here's the play call. We can attack

745
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: a defense like this and Matt Ryan can get the

746
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: ball to the right guy. That's such a level of

747
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: comfort for a play caller, for Frank Reich, for Marcus Brady,

748
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: for Scott Milanovich, x Phraser, everyone involved that you don't

749
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, again, you don't have to be perfect with

750
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: your play calls. They're only a handful of quarterbacks in

751
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. You can say that too. I think Philip

752
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: Purpos is probably one of them when he was here

753
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, where you didn't have to be you know,

754
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: all right, well, you gotta dial this thing up to

755
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: get this guy wide open to get him the ball.

756
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: It can be hey, you know, you can throw with anticipation,

757
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: like Nahem Mind said today, like if if you gotta

758
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: get out of your break at twelve yards, you better

759
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: get out of your break right at twelve because that's

760
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: all gonna be right in your face. It's gonna be coming.

761
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: And also the yak stuff with Matt Ryan because he

762
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: is so accurate. Nwhim was saying, like the first time

763
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: Ryan threw him the ball, he caught him right in

764
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: stride and he just took off. He's like, shoot, that's

765
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: this is great. Well, and that's he said, that's unusual

766
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: because usually with being as quick as Nahem is a

767
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of quarterbacks throw up behind him.

768
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: So this is Matt Ryan just says that natural feel

769
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: for the position and where to place the ball, because

770
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: it's not just the completion percentage, it's are you accurate

771
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: with your completion and something that that Frank has talked

772
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: about before, but it was also in that article that

773
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: you did you wrote JJ in terms of your interview

774
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: with Frank Reich, it's, you know, he's mastering in the simple.

775
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: He's not over complicating things, and I love that. It's

776
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: like sometimes we feel like we have to overcomplicate football

777
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: on a week to week basis, we have to put

778
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: in ten new plays to get an advantage on our

779
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: on our opponent. No, it's just do you you know,

780
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: make them adjust to what you do well, just execute

781
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: and let's just keep out the noise and let's focus

782
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: on the ten to twelve things that we do really

783
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: well and become so proficient in that and executed at

784
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: a high level that nobody can stop us even if

785
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,479
Speaker 1: they know, you know, a section of plays is coming.

786
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: When you mentioned the level of like poise focus of

787
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, I mean, yeah, sure that comes from football.

788
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: But if you guys have seen I don't know if

789
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: you have any of like the Instagram videos from the

790
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: Ryan twins with their dad, like when they're just like

00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: abusing him and he is just like completely unphased. It's

792
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: absolutely Marshall and Johnny going after you. You can handle

793
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: anyone in the pot. Yeah. They Yeah, He's like sitting

Speaker 1: him and like Sarah's posting it just relentless. I mean

796
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: one of the other videos, it was just hilarious. It

797
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: didn't involve Matt, but like Marshall and Johnny have like

798
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: one of those like punching bags like that's on like

00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,279

Speaker 1: way back to the floor, releases it and it smacks

803
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: the other twin straight in the face and the helmet

804
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: and they just laugh and they go right back at it.

805
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: Dude again. So funny, Marshal, I know, right right, well,

806
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: and it is so that is Sarah Ryan's maiden name.

807
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: Oh it is Marshall maryeah more you know, okay, another another,

808
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: there we go, the maiden name as the first name.

809
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: We're going to all these middle names that are becoming

810
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, I like it. The shock Darius. Well, we

811
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: talked about Matt Ryan, we talked about getting ready for Campa.

812
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: What we think. Now, let's sit down with somebody who's

813
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: actually doing it. The longest tenured cold on this roster,

814
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly, says, hello, joined now by a award winning

815
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: I like to call these sorts of players award winning

816
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, the centerman. Ryan Kelly, one of the leaders

817
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: of this offense. Excited a little bit different from last year.

818
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: We got some new leadership offensively. Just been here a

819
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: few hours. What's going on? Yeah, just getting checked in.

820
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: This is always like that last night, you know. Yeah,

821
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: I spend with my wife and it always feels like

822
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: the first day of school, you know, And being a

823
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: Graham Park is such a cool place. It's you know,

824
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: ten minutes from my house, so you're not too far.

825
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: But when you get here, you know, it's just it's

826
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: that atmosphere of this is the ramp up for the season.

827
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: You know, this is the beginning, is what we work for.

828
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: And no matter if you're in elementary or middle school

829
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: or high school, college, August is always the same man

830
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: if you play football. So this is where teams come

831
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: together and multimately where championships are built. The low hanging

832
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: fruit question of the day. Matt Ryan is here, the quarterback,

833
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: your first thoughts to him through the last couple of

834
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: months and overall everybody talks about what a great leader is.

835
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: How long did you notice that, Hey, this guy's a

836
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna follow this guy when it comes

837
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: to playing on a football field. Certainly, I think if

838
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: you come you know, you spend fifteen years in one

839
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: place and then you have to transfer your life everything

840
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: you know, Um, I think ultimately, how you how you

841
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: perceived that at your next place, and you saw it

842
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: with Rivers, you saw with Carson City. With him, it

843
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: can be a shell shock, I'm sure you know. But

844
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: the way he came in from day one, never said

845
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: this is the way that I do it. You know,

846
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: we need to change. It was always how do you

847
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: how have you guys called things in the past, And

848
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: here's what I need to learn and here's what I

849
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: think you can help us. So I think it's it's

850
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: always it's always great when you can blend leadership like

851
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: that with all the experience that he's gotten what we

852
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: do now. But it's it's it's the way he approaches

853
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: his day. It's the way he approaches um, you know,

854
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: relationships in the locker room. You can tell when things

855
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: are genuine, and he's certainly done that since day one,

856
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: and it's been awesome to see with Matt. How has

857
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: he balanced being the fifteen year going into year number fifteen,

858
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: having been an MVP of the league and played in

859
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, two NFC Championship games, but also being

860
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: the new guy. I mean that's those are two different

861
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: hats to where how has he balanced that in a

862
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: short amount of time and, like you said, gain the

863
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: respect of the locker room. Yeah, I think he's just

864
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: done it organically. I think that's that's the best way

865
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: to do it. Is football players and you know, people

866
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: and playing the NFL are pretty easy to uh, you know,

867
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: spot out when you know people are being arrogant or whatnot,

868
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: but he's done that. You know nothing of that. Since

869
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: he's gotten here, it's always been about what you know,

870
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: what can you do for the team. Here's what I

871
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: want to do, here's my vision of winning a championship,

872
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: and here's you know what I can bring to the

873
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: table to help us do that. And um, the conversations

874
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: he's had with the offensive line, meeting players, spending quality time. UM,

875
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: you just know when things are genuine. And he's certainly

876
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: done every every single piece of that. And and ultimately

877
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: it's it's always it's always been tough to have a

878
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: new quarterback every year, but I've always appreciated what I've

879
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: learned is is different things the way they they see

880
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: the game, the way they call the game, UM, and

881
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: learning different things like That's that that nature have been

882
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: really really helpful. And just super excited to get going.

883
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: Where are you guys in this offense at the start

884
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: of camp compared to at the end of the off

885
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: season workout program? How much did the spring provide a

886
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a catapulting period for this offense? Yeah,

887
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: it was crucial. It was the past two years. We

888
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: just didn't have that, and you know, that's obviously an

889
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: excuse to make, but having those two months just working

890
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: out together, doing the plays, walk throughs, those are just

891
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: invaluable things to have, you know, to be able to

892
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: go into the huddle and see new faces and not

893
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: have that you know tomorrow. Yeah, having that two months

894
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: ago is just so vital and and so I think

895
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: this team really took some big steps in the past

896
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: couple of months. That's Ryan Kelly joining us from camp

897
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: up here at Graham Park. How long is it gonna take?

898
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: Because the prestigious group that you're a part of the

899
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts. You guys all are

900
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: award winners, so everyone of you, Braydon Smith include a

901
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: big que yourself. Now we got a couple of new faces,

902
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: Glowinski's not here, a couple of the guy's gone like that.

903
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: How long does that match happen? And the importance of

904
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: guys We're built differently from other teams with these guys. Yeah,

905
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: I think it's the standard that we hold ourselves to.

906
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: Last year we kind of slipped in that regard. We

907
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: had some really good games. You know, you look at

908
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo and the Jets. You know, some two hundred yard

909
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: rushing games, which is were huge, but we just didn't

910
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: protect the way that you know, we know we wanted

911
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: to and held that standard. So U re establishing that

912
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: standard with the three you know, the three veterans we know, me,

913
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: Braden and Q played a lot of games together and

914
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: having the new faces. We have a lot of rookies.

915
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: I think we've got five of them this year. You know,

916
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty rare to have. But we've got some great

917
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 1: competition at certain spots and it promotes all the competition

918
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: among all of us. So I know that we've you know, Braden,

919
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: Q and I have rept you know, took a step

920
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: back and re established what we want this season to

921
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: look like and what our careers are gonna look like.

922
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: And so um, I think it's all about holding those

923
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: guys to that standard, you know, and holding the team

924
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: knowing that the team is going to go as far

925
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: as we go. Like you said, there's gonna be two

926
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: new starters along the offensive line. Right guards up for grabs,

927
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: left tackles up for grabs, That left tackle positioned battle

928
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: at least on paper going into camp, you know, the

929
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: two contenders, the primary contenders, you've got Matt Pryor and

930
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: Bernard and Ryman. How can you help those guys because

931
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: they've got a lot on their plate trying to make

932
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: the team, trying to be the starter, But how can

933
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: you help them sort of ease the day to day

934
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: with all that they're going through. Yeah, I think it's

935
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: it's playing five is one that's what helps ultimately. Um,

936
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: it'd be different if you've got five new positions in there, right,

937
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: So you've got three established guys who have been there

938
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: for a while. Um, And I think just it's just

939
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: knowing you're not alone, you know, knowing that all five

940
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: of us are playing together. And if we can do that, um,

941
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: it takes less stress off of or takes more stress

942
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: off of a guy that has go out there and

943
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: play his position perfectly. Every single play is never gonna happen.

944
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: But m as long as you're all right, as long

945
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: as you're all wrong, you're all right. That's what it's say.

946
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 1: And so, um, you know no one that in the huddle,

947
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a bad play, we're gonna be

948
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: there to pick you up and vice versa. And that's

949
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: what comes with the training camp. It comes with the

950
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: bond that all five of us have with each other.

951
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: No matter who's in there, there's gonna be injuries. Guys,

952
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: roll out goes, you know, roll in, rollout, and so

953
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: m that trade. That offensive line room, though, is is

954
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: such a special place to have personalities together. Um and

955
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: then no matter what you know, bad play, good play

956
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's always the next one. We'll get your back.

957
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: One of the captains of the team, Ryan Kelly, whose

958
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: livelihood is violent, I would call it. That's what you

959
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: do for a little job. Longest tenured, longest ten year

960
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: cold as well. It's good to have you in the neighborhood.

961
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: So that switch that you have to turn on. You

962
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: play a violent game, head knocking game. He starts out

963
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: here and those first days getting up to that, getting

964
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: the body used to those violent hits and stuff like that.

965
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: How long is that going to take you to You're

966
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: going out there when you guys see red like you

967
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: do on game days and stuff, to get to that mode.

968
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: Or right now you're coming off of you know, laying

969
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: on the on the outside fishing and now you got

970
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: to come in and knock some heads. Not the entire summer. Well,

971
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm saying, it's violent, bro. It is

972
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: you got to flip a switch, and it's like, how

973
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: do you do that? It is? Uh, it starts. I

974
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: think for me, it starts when I'm getting taped right,

975
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm changing my mindset of here's what I have to do. Right.

976
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: I've got to go out there and I've got to

977
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: have a great practice because if I can't have a

978
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: great practice, I can't have a great game. And it

979
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: starts in the warm ups. It's the serious attitude. You

980
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: go into individual drills with an individual drills set the

981
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: tempo for the rest of the day. So if you

982
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: can go in there and you're banging bags, everybody feels it.

983
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: It's a it's a presence you feel when guys are moving,

984
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: guys are hitting that we're gonna have a great practice.

985
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: And training camp is all about doing that. It's about

986
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: stacking those days. You know, each day, if you get

987
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: a little bit better right than by the time training

988
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: camp ends, you're gonna have a fantastic you know, going

989
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: into the season that I think about nineteen when we

990
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: go play you know, the Chargers Week one, we'd had

991
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: a great training camp. We didn't win the game, but

992
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 1: we you know, ran for over two hundred yards rushing.

993
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: That set the tempo for that season of what we

994
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: were going to be. And so that's what training camps

995
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: all about, us sting the tempo for the rest of

996
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: the year. And it's all about a mindset. And I

997
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: think that's what the three of us have, the rest

998
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: of the offensive line room has that we've got a

999
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: main share that we maintain that you talk about being

1000
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: at camp, how about the fact that you're at camp

1001
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: and we haven't said the word COVID yet, right, No,

1002
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: no testing, no beepers, no checking in and just all

1003
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, no protocols, no close contact tracing all. I mean,

1004
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: how refreshing is that on your end? Oh, it's amazing.

1005
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean I was going through my briefcase today or yesterday,

1006
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: and I was strolling away masks and I'm like, dude,

1007
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm done with this crap, you know, And wait, wait

1008
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: back up a minute. Yeah, briefcase, briefcase guy, Yeah, briefcase.

1009
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: How you walk into the office here with the briefcase.

1010
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: I was told something when I was a rookie. They

1011
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: said I was wearing a backpack. I'm offensive line coach

1012
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: Joe Phillip at the time looks at me and he goes,

1013
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: while you're wearing a backpack. I was like, you know,

1014
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: put all my stuff in. He's like, he's like, you're

1015
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: professional now. So you know, he tested me when I

1016
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: was twenty three years old, and so I became a

1017
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: briefcase guy. And then I look around. Andrew's got one stop.

1018
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: Can never get Costanzo on the briefcase game. But I

1019
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: think it just add that's awesome, adds a different level

1020
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: of professionalism. What is in their documents and chew or

1021
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: what what is? Yeah, you got a little bit of that,

1022
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, cut the iPads, a lot of pens, A

1023
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of pens. I love it, a lot of pens,

1024
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: some highlighters. Coming to work. You throw it over the shoulder, man,

1025
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: and you know, cut big old coal brew in the morning,

1026
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 1: you're ready to roll. So mine. It does change your mindset.

1027
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm in work mode when I have that on, right,

1028
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: you gotta have it on, man. Yeah, so I'll get

1029
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: the rookies on. Don't worry, You'll see a whole old

1030
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: line room full of briefcases before you know it. Well,

1031
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: like we said, you are going into year number seven

1032
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: and you are the longest ten year cult with you know,

1033
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton not on the roster at Doyle retiring

1034
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: in the off season. Give me some camp hacks, you know,

1035
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: some things that you've learned over the years to get

1036
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: you through the month of like this. Yeah, do you

1037
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: have tricks of the trade that you're you're keeping close

1038
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: to the vest, or maybe you might tell a select

1039
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: few of young guys rookies coming in, do these things

1040
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: and your life is going to be easier. Yeah. I

1041
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: think there's a few things. Certainly, it's your quality of sleep.

1042
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: So if you they used to have a deal where

1043
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: you could rent a fan from the I don't know

1044
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: Jeff Brown, whoever had the fans, you could rent a fan. Yeah,

1045
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: so like you'd pay like fifty bucks like MacFee where

1046
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: you could runt like a TV. You could run a couch,

1047
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: you could run all kinds of crap. When we were

1048
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: at Anderson it was different. But I mean now the

1049
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: hotels are so nice. You don't have to run a TV.

1050
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I used to always run a big fan

1051
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: and then I just always bring an eyemask, right, so

1052
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: I'm real real an eyemasks help me out what's that? Yeah,

1053
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: it's like you think you put over your eyes when

1054
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: you sleep, so oh blackout. I thought you meant like

1055
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: an I like the newest version of the iPad. I'm sorry,

1056
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: I keep this so goggles. You're wearing goggles when you sleep.

1057
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a soft like silk mask. O

00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: that you're wearing satin mask because I'm gonna get on it.

1061
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: Like people at sleep in silence right like you freak

1062

Speaker 1: me out. Noise, You gotta have a you have a

1063
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 1: background noise. I always bring a roll of electoral tape.

1064
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: So this sounds crazy, but most rooms have like fired

1065
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: detectors or whatever, and then have a little light. That

1066
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: little light keeps you up. You just stare at it.

1067
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 1: So you just you cut you a piece of that off,

1068
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: you put it on top of that. Can I share

1069
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: a hack with you? Guys? So on the road? Yeah,

1070
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: well you spent a lot of time on the road,

1071
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: so okay, you got you got drapes right in the

1072
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: in the hotel room, so you take the hangar out

1073
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: that as the clips. I've seen this yet, and then

1074
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: you smack them up so you don't get those crease

1075
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: of lights at a beaming at you think that's nothing worse,

1076
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: nothing worse. I love this. Yeah, like a pant like

1077
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: a pant hanger. Absolutely, yeah, like I would. It looks

1078
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: like hell. But boy it's dark. You know, dark Dungeon.

1079
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: They tell the hotel over there, they said, look, you

1080
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: guys can drop the temperature as low as you want.

1081
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: So so as I get there this morning, rooms at

1082
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: sixty two, it's blackout. Um that's that's probably my biggest

1083
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: hack in though. I'll make sure these guys know. But

1084
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: this rookie's got roommates. That's tough. Love. You got a snore,

1085
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Voudovitch snored worse than by the world. And then

1086
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: and know the night after rollover and throw throw a

1087
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: pillow as hard, just wake him up. Yeah, so you

1088
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: figured out as you go. Then Ryan Kelly the Colts Center,

1089
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: we're talking some camp hacks here and the outlook for

1090
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: this season. I know it's another loaded, low hanging fruit question,

1091
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: but what's the limit with this football team. It's this guy. Honestly,

1092
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean I can honestly say that this year, Um,

1093
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: so much talent at every position, and I think just

1094
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: you just know being around a lot of teams, what

1095
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: the feel is and and as soon as we got

1096
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: here in April, you could tell the seriousness and in

1097
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: the attitude. I mean, you look at a lot of

1098
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: guys's careers and everybody's in their prime right now. Right

1099
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: there's there's a there's a certain time that we have

1100
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: to go when it's right now, And so I think

1101
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: that the uh, the overall you know, majority of the

1102
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: team is just is so you know, locked in, readier

1103
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: to go. I know we've had a great offseason and

1104
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,680

1106
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: I know that it'll be a physical camp and it'll

1107
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 1: be a hard one, but that's what we need. Colts

1155
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,759

Speaker 1: of sharks, that's cool. It was. They faked it. It It

1159
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: was like GI, it was an hour long episode. It

1160
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: was like finding Meglodon or something in that, like CGI

1161
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: faked them finding and they had all these like you

1162
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: know what what if episode? Yeah? No, no, not even

1163
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: It's like they have all these like what you think

1164
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: are experts on where the shark lives and what he eats,

1165
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: and you know, the attacks the shark is evidently made.

1166
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: And then at the end of it, it's like this disclaimer,

1167
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: like we just made all this for entertainment. Ruined it

1168
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: ruined shark. I gotta come to I gotta come to

1169
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,479
Speaker 1: the table on this. I'm almost all in on Shark Week,

1170
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't DVR it anymore, which I

1171
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: used to do. But I'm all in. If you show

1172
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: me the surfers that are getting bit and he showed me,

1173
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm all in. No, yes, it is the shark bites.

1174
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm all in because I'm saying, I know you have

1175
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: a you know, your relationship with the water and natures,

1176
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 1: so I get it. But there are dinosaurs with fins

1177
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: that are biting you because you're paneling on a board

1178
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: and you look identical to a seal. That is their

1179
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: mainstay as far as their staple is getting there. What

1180
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: they need is seals, sharks and seals. So don't go

1181
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: out on your boogie board or don't go out on

1182
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: your board and pars and they come back and let

1183
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: us do a show on you. Because I'm gonna tell

1184
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: you right now, sign this waiver. You're about to get

1185
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 1: bit can I say? That's why I'm in? Tell his story.

1186
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: So this past June, you know, we went to the

1187
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: Florida Keys for our wedding anniversary rinted. A boat got

1188
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: out to the sandbar. We throw the anchor out, and

1189
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, all right, this is gonna be great. We're

1190
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna spend like three or four hours out here. We're

1191
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna be in waist deep water. It is. You know,

1192
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: what's the first thing we see sharing It's this shadow

1193
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: lurking kind of just swaying along in the water. Be

1194
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: a foot how many foot? Maybe maybe like four enough?

1195
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: That's enough, yeah enough? And she looks at me, and

1196
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: I look at her, I go, was that a shark? Almost?

1197
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: And so it took us about an hour to grow

1198
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: the gump shit and the courage to jump in or

1199
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: we never saw anything else the rest of the time.

1200
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: But I swear to God, the first four seconds there's

1201
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: a shark. I'm out by the about you. You were

1202
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 1: doing a little deep sea fishing we did while you're

1203
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: away here an catch any catching, at least any sharks

1204
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: I did, actually, but they were not even the four footers.

1205
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: These were two footers that they have that said, hey,

1206
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna pop on this line. But we're

1207
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 1: going for bluefish and stuff like that. Sharks will pop

1208
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: on this line. And sure enough we brought up two

1209
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: of them. And those guys they don't mess around on

1210
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: the boat because we went out on a charter. It

1211
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: is foot on, but it's not a lot of pressure,

1212
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: but foot on their mouth and players to get it out.

1213
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: And when they do that, then they picked the thing

1214
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: up by their tail and put it They will I

1215
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: mean they do not even if it's if it's this long, yeah,

1216
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna take your finger. Yeah, absolutely, you know. So

1217
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: they're just like, they don't screw with it. So they

1218
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: answer is, yeah, a little deep sea diving we did. Yeah,

1219
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,280
Speaker 1: but no, I mean Shark week after Dark Shark Nado.

1222
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: They had Shaquille O'Neal year or two ago swimming with sharks,

1223
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: and it was amazing to see because these literally like

1224
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: garbage eating, man eating sharks, you know what I'm saying.

1225
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: Tiger sharks are like, I'm good, I'm good. I usually

1226
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: go about four foot by them, but on this one,

1227
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: i'm gonna say about twenty five feet away from it

1228
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: because shacks in the water with them. It was amazing

1229
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: to see them. But still it was good. So I

1230
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 1: am I'm all in on that. That was a good one.

1231

1240
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: He seems like a spray tan guy. Now that is

1241
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: a ricochet shot. I don't think. I don't know if

Speaker 1: had to spray tan, or have I ever wanted to

1248
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: spray ten. I think it comes out of a can

1249
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: or you stay out on the spray tan. Okay, I'm

1250
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: out on the spray tan. I'm a golfer. I like

1251
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: to get outside. I had the luxury of going to

1252
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: Phoenix this year, earlier in the year and Hawaii. The

1253
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: tan stuck with me a little bit like that A

1254
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: boy and the spray tan is no, and I'm well,

1258
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: This is a surprise to no one. Yeah, I do.

1259
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: Let me. I'm just that's great. If we get in

00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: the FCCDR, you're not renting a plane. And by the way,

1264
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,480

1265
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: you want. Lara, am I going in so you can? Okay.

1266
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: So there are a couple of different situations. So there

1267
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: is one spray Tan. Then you step into a booth, okay,

1268
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: and you just and you just get sprayed. Well yeah,

1269
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: but there are other places that you can go, Like

1270
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: there's air Tan that they have a person who actually

1271
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: sprays you. So like, I mean, so it's just your preference,

1272
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: but you know, I would say in there, I'm just

1273
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm not getting my front office tand if

1274
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm going in there, okay, and I don't need somebody

1275
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: else who's telling me, I'll go around your front office,

01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,360

01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: indeed the uh, the Mohammad Ali Championship belt when he

1304
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: beat George Foreman. Ali beat Foreman in Zaire and he

1305
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: got that belt and it was a pricey one, and

1306
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: that that auction bidding went on to the wee hours

1307
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: in the morning. It originated in Texas, so there was

1308
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: a time difference up there. But he was up up

1309
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: until four am going up on the bids to get

1310
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: his hand on this because he's such a Mohammad Ali

1311
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: just an absolute because the rope he has him to

1312
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: get this now. And also you know a special announcement
