1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: This is the Colts Daily Update. A look at the

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: latest with the Indianapolis Colts. Now here's the voice of

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. It's the Daily Update on a Thursday.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: You know, a week ago tonight, the Colts were victorious.

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: They won over the Broncos on Thursday Night football. That

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: game was an overtime. In Week five, We're gonna have

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: to wait until Sunday, Week six to take on the

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. It's the second of two meetings between these

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: two AFC South rivals at Lucas Oil Stadium. And JJ,

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the home team has won ten straight games in the series.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: The culture looking at snap a two game losing streak

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars and even up the season series. I said,

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: JJ Stangovitz. That's because JJ is here on the Colts

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: Daily Update on a Thursday night on ninety three five

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: and one oh seven five the fan. What's good, sir?

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: You know, for all the folks who were complaining about

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: the quality of last Thursday Night's game between the Colts

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: and the Broncos. Tonight the Bears and the Washington Commander,

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: they're going to play at Soldier Field, where the winds

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: are whipping in the Windy City. Yes, and you know what,

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: for everyone everyone who's complaining about, oh, what a terrible game,

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: you know what, you're gonna be doing it about nine

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: forty five tonight is being locked in, so the Bears

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: in the command and half. I mean, I will, but

25
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: I know I am. I'm not even pretending that I'm like, oh,

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch this bad game. No, I'm gonna

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: be watching this game, and I'm gonna be watching it

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: quite intently. Because also the Commanders come to town in

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: comple weeks, so yeah, got to check out how they're

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: looking with Carson Wentz at quarterbacks, right, I mean, people

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: grab up all. I mean they did last Thursday. People

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: left the game early and Twitter was a buzz. This

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: is the worst game. All field goals, no red zone,

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Guess what you watched it. Guess what?

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: And that's why Thursday Night football exists. The worst football

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: game is better than a lot of other things you

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: could be doing. There's no doubt about that. There's no

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: doubt about that. So a lot to get into. We're

39
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: jam packing this end for about fifteen minutes here, JJ,

40
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: So you've got the Colts through five games. You've got

41
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars through five games. They beat the Colts twenty

42
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: four to nothing back in week number two. Are you

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: buying the Jaguars at this point? I know they've lost

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: two games, but if they don't kill themselves in a

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: couple of these games here lately, they might even have

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: a better record. How much of a challenger are the

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Jaguars in the AFC South this season? They're still a

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: big challenger, Matt. You know, I think what we've seen

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: from Jacksonville so far is probably what we're gonna see

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: throughout the season where they can have some games where

51
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: when things click on that team, they are really talented

52
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. They have a good

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff on both sides of the ball, and they

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: can go and they can whip you. But they're also

55
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: going to have some games where, because they are still

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: young across the board, their quarterback is in his second

57
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: year in the NFL, you're gonna have some variants in

58
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: there where you get a game where, you know, you

59
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: mentioned how well Jacksonville played probably outside of the twenties

60
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: against Houston over the weekend, but then Trevor Aren's on

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: second and one near the goal line, throws an interception.

62
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: You know, you have some some issues just with you know,

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: converting on fourth down and turning the ball over. That

64
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: will happen with young teams as they kind of grow

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: into who they are and what their identity is. And

66
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, you know, winning on the road is

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: still going to be tough for them because it's one

68
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: thing to win at home. It's another thing to go

69
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: on the road and win and hostile environments as a

70
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: young team. So this is an opportunity for the Colts

71
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: where all right, you know they got humbled a little

72
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: bit in Week two with that twenty four to nothing game.

73
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: But get in Jacksonville here where Jacksonville's coming off of

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: a disappointing loss to the Houston Texans at home. This

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: should be a good one and a good challenge for

76
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: both teams. Now you're brought up the road. Wose Jacksonville.

77
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I know it's not this team. It goes back much

78
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: further and deeper than that. But Jacksonville is a franchise.

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: They've lost thirteen straight AFC South Road games, and so

80
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: they're looking to get off to schneide. As far as

81
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: that's concerned. On Sunday, the Colts are looking for their

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: fifth consecutive win over Jacksonville at Lucas Oil Stadium. So

83
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: the Colts shuffled up the offensive line last week. Sixty

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: percent of the offensive line was new compared to four

85
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: days prior when they played the Titans on Sunday and

86
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: week number four, what do you think the offensive line?

87
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: What do you think that looks like this weekend? And

88
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: what is the best five starting units upfront for the

89
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Colts going forward? Well, the big question, Matt is what

90
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: goes on on the right side of the offensive line.

91
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: Because Frank Reich told us this week Bernard Ryman is

92
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: going to continue as the Colts starting left tackle, got

93
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Clinton Nelson at left guard. He's not going anywhere. Ryan Kelly,

94
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: as long as he is healthy, is going to be

95
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: the starting center. Kelly was limited in practice today on Thursday.

96
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: He did not practice on Wednesday with a hip injury

97
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: he sustained against the Broncos last week. So then that

98
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: leaves the right side of the offensive line, and really

99
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: the lynchpin there is what do you do with Braden Smith?

100
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: Do you start you keep him at right guard after

101
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: he played there for the first time in his NFL

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: career against the Broncos. Or do you kick Braden back

103
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: out to right tackle and then look at, you know,

104
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 1: a Matt Prior, a Will Fries, you know, Danny Pinter

105
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: at right guard, or if you you have Brandon at

106
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: right guard, do you then look at a Matt Prior

107
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: a Dennis Kelly out there at right tackle. So that's

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: kind of the big question. Um, I would not expect

109
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: us to get an answer on that as the Colts

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: kind of work through some things during practice this week. Um,

111
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: you know, maybe one of those things where we find

112
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: out at the same time the Jaguars do, maybe in warmups,

113
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: maybe in warmups, maybe on the first offensive series. Maybe

114
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: Frank Richael tell our own Lara Overton in their pregame

115
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: interview that'll go out on Colts dot Com and on

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: the Colt Colts social channels on Sunday morning. But um,

117
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of where where the questions lie on this

118
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. Right now, it's J J. Stangovit signed Matt Taylor.

119
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: This is the Colts Daily Update tonight. And you know,

120
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: again it's been well chronicled twenty four to nothing. The

121
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: offensive woes for the Colts back in Week number two

122
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: shut out, and but in that game, they didn't have

123
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior. They didn't have Alec Pierce. He was

124
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: in the cushion protocol about a month ago. What will

125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: those players and their presence do for the Colts in

126
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: this game against the Jaguars defense? How much will that

127
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: help the Colts hopefully move the ball much better? Well,

128
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: it's big for two reasons. One, Matt is obviously just

129
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: getting those two guys. Those are your top two receivers

130
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: right now, you know, especially the way Alec has come

131
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: on in the last three weeks fifteen catches two hundred

132
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: and twenty two yards over the last three games since

133
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: he came back from the concussion that kept him out

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: in Week two. And those just those guys they can separate,

135
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: but they can also go make contested catches, which will

136
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: definitely help Matt Ryan get the ball out quicker and

137
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: maybe try to neutralize that Jaguar's pass rush that was

138
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: so effective in Week two. But the second part of

139
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: it is that going into that game in Jacksonville, the

140
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: Colts thought they were going to have both of those

141
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: guys available, right you know, Alec was going through the

142
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 1: concussion protocol was with late scratches, right, It wasn't until

143
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Friday morning before that game that Alec Pierce got ruled

144
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: out as he was not able to pass through the

145
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: last part of the concussion protocol. And then Michael Pittman

146
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: Junior with I believe it was a quad injury he

147
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: got ruled out Saturday morning, So it was, you know,

148
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: the Colts then had to tweak their game plan, which

149
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: is not an easy thing to do on the fly

150
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: when you've you know, installed it and put it in

151
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: during the week. So I think having both those guys

152
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: not only available, but practicing all week, that's a big

153
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: factor is the Colts go into this game all right. Meanwhile,

154
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, Trevor Lawrence had

155
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: a career high eighty three percent completion percentage against the

156
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Colts back in Week two. That also was accompanied by

157
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: a career high one twenty one point five passer rating

158
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: against everybody else. So far this year, his passer rating

159
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: is down to eighty two, two in one in his

160
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: career against the Colts, oh in five against the rest

161
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: of the AFC South JJ. Why is this so? Why

162
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: is Lawrence playing so well against the Colts in sort

163
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: of subpar against everybody else, seemingly in the NFL. I think,

164
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the last you know, last

165
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: year where um, you know, you kind of got to

166
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: the end of the year and the Colts obviously fell

167
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: in their face in Week eighteen against the Jaguars, but

168
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: the week the home game, I think Lawrence's completion percentage

169
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: is what fifty something percentage wasn't very high in his

170
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: first game against the Colts, um back in I think

171
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: it was week ten of the twenty, right, So then

172
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: you come coming into week two and I think, if

173
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at it from a glass half full standpoint,

174
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: all right, it's early in the season. The Jaguars did

175
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: not have a lot of things on film in terms

176
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: of what that offense is gonna look like with uh,

177
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, Press Taylor, Doug Peterson, Trevor Lawrence as kind

178
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: of that coaching quarterback combo. Now that the Jaguars have

179
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: put some things on film and Gus Bradley's defense has

180
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: really played well over the last couple of weeks, the

181
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Colts matt they are um, they are fourth in the

182
00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: NFL in allowing the fewest touchdown drives of seventy five

183
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: or more yards. That means that this defense is not

184
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: giving up long touchdown drives. It's really hard. If the

185
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: Colts can cut down on their turnovers on offense, that

186
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: will help. The defense is set up for success even

187
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: though they're not taking the ball away. It is hard

188
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: to drive downfield on this Colts defense. I think if

189
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: you make the Jaguars do that again. They are a

190
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: team that has had some issues with self inflicted mistakes.

191
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: You know, they had all those fumbles against Philly and

192
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: the monsoon, they had the mistakes at home against Houston

193
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: last week. I think you got to play that okay,

194
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, make them make a mistake type of a game,

195
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: and you know you gotta get after Lawrence a little

196
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: bit more. But he gets the ball out quick. He's

197
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: very good at avoiding sacks. But I think you're starting

198
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: to see the Colts defense build upon some things and

199
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: be a little bit less predictable, just in terms of

200
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: coverages they're playing, how they're disguising things, and how they're

201
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: sending some blitz is here and there, all right, One

202
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: final one with JJ Stangovitz from Colts dot Com. I'm

203
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor here on the Colts Daily Update tonight. You

204
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: brought up the injury report little bit earlier. Jonathan Taylor

205
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: was on at Chack Leonard still on it, Ryan Kelly,

206
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: as you said, naim Hine still on the concussion protocol,

207
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay dealing with an ankle JJ. How concerned are

208
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: you over the injury report for the Colts going into

209
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: this game. I think it's probably good news that Jonathan

210
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: Taylor today was listed as a limited participant. You know,

211
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: that seems like a step in the right direction for

212
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: him as he comes back from the ankle. You know,

213
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: Taekwon lewis full participant as he works through the concussion protocol,

214
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: right and you know Julian Blackman too, full participant with

215
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: his ankle injury. So you know, I'm not as concerned.

216
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: You know that the fact that the Colts have not

217
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: placed Quity Pay on injured reserve, yes, right now. You know,

218
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: let's see if we get to Sunday and make sure

219
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: that's still the case. But that is encouraging just from

220
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: the standpoint of he gets carted off on Thursday, and

221
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: you know your first thought when when the car comes out,

222
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: as man, this guy's seasons over if he can't walk

223
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: it off right right, and now you're thinking maybe he

224
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: doesn't even need to go on injured reserve and miss

225
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: a minimum of four games. That would be very good news. Obviously,

226
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: you want to get Shaquille Leonard back at some point.

227
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: He has the concussion and knows issues that he suffered

228
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: against Tennessee in Week four, but you know, and then

229
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: Ashton Dueling we should mention too, he went on injured

230
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: reserve right this week as well. But for the most

231
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: part though, this doesn't concern me a ton based on

232
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: where I thought it could have been at the start

233
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: of the week, right. Yeah, it's certainly getting better day

234
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: by day. We'll see what the final designations are tomorrow.

235
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: On Friday, what are you writing about? Speaking of Friday,

236
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: what are you writing about going into the weekend here

237
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: on kolts dot com. So I talked to a bunch

238
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: of players this week just about how Zaire Franklin not

239
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: only has played this year, but the impact of him

240
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: playing well on this entire team, where guys see a

241
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: former seventh round pick who got benched his rookie year

242
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: and then had to work his way back all the

243
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: way from being a special teamer to being a core

244
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: special teamer to now being a guy who played a

245
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: couple of snaps on defense and now being a starter

246
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: who leads the NFL and tackles going into Week six

247
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: with fifty four. So just getting the perspectives of different

248
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: guys at different positions about who what Zaire means to

249
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: this team. It's really impressive. You respect the heck out

250
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: of Zire Franklin for the kind of player he is,

251
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: the kind of leader he is, and the journey he

252
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: has taken to this point where he got a second

253
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: contract and boys, he rewarding the Colts without he's playing

254
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: with no doubt about a great point. All right, I

255
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: think we emptied out your notebook. There anything else that

256
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: we missed. I think we covered it all. Just you know,

257
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: another thing on Colts dot com. I just kind of

258
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: reract some of where the rookies are quarter away through

259
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: the season, and you know they're getting a lot of contributions.

260
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: It's not just Alec Pierce, but you know, and Bernard

261
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Ryman's being started, Jalani Woods getting in there, Ronnie Thomas

262
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: playing some great football with Julian Blackman out, Jojoe Doman

263
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: becoming a core special teamer on a unit that really

264
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: needs guides to step up. There. This rookie class looks

265
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: like it's it's off to a very very encouraging start

266
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: with guys that the Colts will not only lean on

267
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: right now, but we'll have to lean on the rest

268
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, it's all levels two. It's the

269
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: top of the draft, the back of the draft, undrafted

270
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: free agents. As you said there with Joe Joe Doman

271
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: JJ Stangovitz. Follow his work on Colts dot Com and

272
