00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: to talk about. Tonight certainly a lot to sort out

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: as the Colts drop to four and six on the

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: season with a thirty to twenty loss of the Buffalo

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Bills on Sunday. That means the Colts have lost three

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: straight and now they've got some soul searching to do

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: with seven games to play. So we got a busy

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: show per usual. Starting coming up with our weekly chat

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: with Colts head coach Shane Steichen. In just a moment,

30
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: he's going to join us here in studio. He'll discuss

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: some of the details from Sunday's game and the loss

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: to the Bills. And then, starting in segment two, analyst

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: Rick Venturi and Joe Writs will join the program. They'll

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: break down the game film from last night and also

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: give their thoughts on the state of the Colts after

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: ten games. But as always, we lead off the show

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: with the recap of the latest action, and this time

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: we're breaking down Colts and Bills in detail. It's time

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: now for the game rewind. Trouble for the Colts started

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: right out of the gate. Buffalo co owner back Tarren

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Johnson intercepted Joe Flacco in the first play from scrimmage

42
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: by the Colts offense and returned at twenty three yards

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: for a pick six, and boom, just like that, in

44
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: an instant, the Colts were down seven to nothing. The

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: Colts picked up a couple of first downs on their

46
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: next drive, but Flacco was again picked off, this time

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: by Bill's defensive tackle Austin Johnson as the Colts were

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 2: looking to complete a screen pass to Jonathan Taylor. Buffalo

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: turned the takeaway into a Tyler Bass twenty nine yard

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: field goal to make the game ten to nothing in

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: the first quarter. But on the next drive, Jonathan Taylor

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: ripped off a season long fifty eight yard run that

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: landed inside the Bill's ten yard line, but the Colts

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: were unable to punch that drive into the end zone,

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: but they did get on the board with a Matt

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: Gay short field goal on the next possession by Buffalo.

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: The Colts defense stopped the Bills on a fourth and

58
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: three in Colts territory, and then the Colts were able

59
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: to put together an eleven play seventy two yard drive

60
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: capped off by a two yard touchdown pass to running

61
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: back Tyler Goodson to tie the game at ten. The

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: defense step up again immediately after the offense tied the game.

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: E J Speed picked off Bills quarterback Josh Allen, leading

64
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: to a Gay twenty three yard field goal for a

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: thirteen to ten advantage, and for Speed it was his

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: first career interception. Buffalo would counter, though, late in the

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: first half. Josh Allen found the end zone with a

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: thirteen yard run to put the Bills back on top

69
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: seventeen to thirteen, and then the visitors would also tack

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: on a forty seven yard field goal on the final

71
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: play of the first half, the lead twenty to thirteen

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: at the break. Neither team scored in the third quarter,

73
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 2: even though the Colts threatened a few times and turned

74
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: the ball over on downs late in the period at

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: the Bill's twenty yard line. Buffalo added a twenty eight

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: yard Bass field goal to make it a two possession

77
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: game early in the fourth quarter, and shortly thereafter, Flacco

78
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: threw his third interception of the game, as safety Taylor

79
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: rat picked off the pass intended for white out Alec Pierce.

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: The Bills eventually finished with four hundred and fifteen yards

81
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: of total offense, marking the fifth time this year the

82
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: Colts defense surrendered at least four hundred yards and the

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: Bills were able to pull away late in the game

84
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: thanks to two possessions and the final eighteen minutes that

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: generated ten points and churned thirteen minutes in twenty nine

86
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: seconds off the game clock. And all told, the Colts

87
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: suffered a season high four turnovers on offense. The Bills

88
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: cash those mistakes into seventeen points of the roan, and

89
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: the Bills won their fifth straight game and improved to

90
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: eight and two, their best start since nineteen ninety three

91
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: and the ten point final margin with the Colts first

92
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: lost this season by more than one score, and the

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: Colts are still a half game behind the Broncos from

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: the final playoffs spot heading into week eleven. All right,

95
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: coming up in just a moment segment number two, I'll

96
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: be joined by Colts analyst Rick Fincuri and Joe Wrights,

97
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: and we're taking your social media questions all throughout the

98
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: show tonight. Get those in using hashtag Colts Roundtable on x.

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: You can also use that same method right now to

100
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: submit your questions and thoughts for head coach Shane Steichen,

101
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: who joined us here on this first segment as he's

102
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: rolled in the studio here in this conversation, now is

103
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: brought to you by Citizens Energy Group. Coach appreciate the time.

104
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: Three straight losses now for the Colts. What made yesterday

105
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: another overall frustrating day for the Colts?

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: I think anytime you turn it over like we did,

107
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 4: it's going to be hard to win. So we got

108
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: to get back on track.

109
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: Right now.

110
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: We're not doing a good job of taking care of

111
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: the football, so that'd be a point of emphasis. We

112
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: talk about it, we preach it, we do it in practice,

113
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: but we've got to do it even more going forward.

114
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the turnovers three interception, three interceptions, I

115
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: should say the loss fumble. What are some things that

116
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: led to so many turnovers yesterday?

117
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: Gosh, I mean the first one, you know what I mean,

118
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: obviously we just can't have it. In the second one,

119
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: we had the screenplay there and they brought a blitz

120
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: and von Miller came up the edge and Joe tried

121
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 4: to get up his hands, got hit and ended up

122
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 4: going right to the noseguard. And then we had another

123
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 4: one tipped you know, obviously off his hands and then

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: got intercepted. And then we had the sack fumble there.

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: So again we just got to clean that stuff up,

126
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 4: you know, take our chances when we got them, and

127
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 4: then just be smart with football.

128
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, you met with the media a

129
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: little bit earlier today and similar questions here. But I mean,

130
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: you'd appreciate the question. You understand the deal.

131
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 6: Right.

132
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: There's a section of the fan base that says, hey,

133
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: the Colts are four and six, we've lost two in

134
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: a row with Joe Blaco at quarterback. What about putting

135
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson back in the lineup to continue to grow

136
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: and get experience. Why do you think sticking with Joe

137
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: Flacco is the best move right now?

138
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

139
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 4: I just think what Joe's done obviously not you know,

140
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: the last two weeks he'd want back, but when he

141
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: had to step in and play, he played really good football.

142
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: And you know, we're sitting at four and six and

143
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 4: you know, not out of this thing by any means,

144
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: and got a big one this week in New York.

145
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 4: So that's the route we're going right.

146
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: Now, all right. Elsewhere within the offense, ad Ni Mitchell

147
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: stepped up in a really big way yesterday for Michael

148
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: Pittman Junior had his best day as a Colt. What

149
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: do you think are some things that led to him

150
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: kind of stepping up in that regard.

151
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously getting more playing time, you know, with Pitt

152
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: being out, obviously had to step up for us. Got

153
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 4: some targets. Obviously, he had some one on one winners, So.

154
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 5: It was good.

155
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 4: It was good to see him get the catches that

156
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: he had. Obviously it's been a while for him, so

157
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: it was good to see.

158
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: In what ways is he turning the corner if that's

159
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: the best way to put it.

160
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think with anything any young player, right, the

161
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 4: more you practice and the more reps you get, you know,

162
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: you get your opportunities. You got to go make the

163
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: most of them. And obviously had some opportunities you know,

164
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: in that game and made the most of them.

165
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: All right.

166
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: Defensively, pretty good job yesterday, forcing two takeaways, got the

167
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: turnover on downs. Obviously the pick six total, that's not

168
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: on them. What did you take away from the overall

169
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: defensive day yesterday?

170
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: You know what, I thought they did a really good

171
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: job containing the quarterback. I know we got out a

172
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: few times and he's going to make some plays, but

173
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: I thought our guys played hard, they played gritty, you know,

174
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: all the way, and our defense has been doing a

175
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: really good job last couple of weeks and look forward

176
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: to to continue that trend this week.

177
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: And again, speaking of the defense, I know you talked

178
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: about this earlier today with the media, but for the

179
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: sake of this audience. After the game, Kenny Moore had

180
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: some comments after the game regarding the urgency of the Colts.

181
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: How do you react to some of those comments from

182
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: one of your senior leaders and a guy that's been here,

183
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: he's seen a lot of ups and a lot of

184
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: downs since twenty seventeen.

185
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think any time you lose three in a row,

186
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: there's going to be frustration, you know, from everybody. But

187
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: you got to fight through the adversity. You got to

188
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: keep grinding away. And you know, you all got a

189
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: choice to make, you know what I mean. We're four

190
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: and six right now, and we got a hell of

191
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: an opportunity at the Jets going forward, So we got

192
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: to go back to work and keep grinding away.

193
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: You know, when when someone makes a comment like that

194
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: and they've got the resume to back it up, a

195
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: guy like Kenny Moore, does that permeate into the locker room?

196
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean, can that be a good thing to kind

197
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: of spur action.

198
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we talked about it today in a meeting,

199
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: So we're all good there. Obviously, we all know that

200
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: we just gotta be better. I gotta be better. We

201
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: all gotta be better moving forward.

202
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a few questions from the fans here.

203
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Let's go to Land and he's asking, Hey, coach, what

204
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: would it take to get Anthony Richardson back into the lineup?

205
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: What do you need to see out of him to

206
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: make that decision?

207
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's doing a good job preparing and

208
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: grinding away, and so we're just keep going through that

209
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: process right now, keep developing, and then we'll see how

210
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 4: it goes.

211
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: All right, Oliver is asking why couldn't we get Jonathan

212
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 2: Taylor going in the second half after he had over

213
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: one hundred yards rushing in the first half.

214
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh, it's a great question. Obviously we didn't get

215
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: it going there. You know, they brought some pressures there,

216
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: you know, some run stunts and stuff. But obviously they

217
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 4: need to be better there in the second half. Obviously,

218
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: the first half is good. We popped the big one

219
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: that's really where all the yards came from, was that

220
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: big run down the sideline, but being more consistent, just

221
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: our run efficiency moving forward.

222
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fifty eight yard are there. Miguel was asking

223
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: why did you not want to kick the field goal

224
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: down twenty to thirteen in the third quarter, fourth and

225
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: two at the Bills twenty.

226
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question. Obviously felt good about the call.

227
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: Didn't work. There had a chance probably to tie it.

228
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: There was the thought process and knowing that Josh Allen

229
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: was on the other sideline, you know, thinking that they

230
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 4: could score points was the thought process that went into it.

231
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Okay, again, I know you were asked this earlier today

232
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: by the media, but Mitch is asking why not use

233
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: Richardson in a sub package during the game, considering his

234
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: skill set, which is in contrast to Flaccos.

235
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

236
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: No, We're always looking at things, but you know, I

237
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: don't want to get in the scheme part of it,

238
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: but obviously he does that have that ability.

239
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: Yep.

240
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Nick is up next. We've got seven games left, Coach,

241
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: what are the biggest areas hurting this team that we

242
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: need to get cleaned up to have a big turnaround?

243
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

244
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: I think just efficiency. You know, we got to staying

245
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: drives offensively, you know, defense is doing some really good things.

246
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 4: Our special teams is playing really good, but just sustaining

247
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: drives and really scoring touchdowns in the red zone. You know,

248
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: we had some opportunities down there that we had to

249
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 4: settle for field goals, but sustaining drives offensively and just

250
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: playing that complimentary football. We've yet to do that yet,

251
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: and you know that's gonna be the biggest thing, right

252
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: We got to get that done this week and start

253
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: hitting our stride.

254
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: Okay, again, seven games left. This is coming from Jason.

255
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: Jason is asking, hey, coach, our goals this year were

256
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: to win and also grow. Anthony Richardson, are you afraid

257
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: that we're not accomplishing either.

258
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think the season's over. You know, we're

259
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: right there in the think of it still even being

260
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: at four and six looking at the standing. So obviously

261
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: we're focused right now on the Jets, and that's where

262
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 4: our focus is is winning this game. Getting better every

263
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: single day, one meeting at a time, one practice at

264
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: a time, one game at a time.

265
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: No question about that.

266
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 5: All Right.

267
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: The Jets are up next, like you alluded to, they're

268
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: three and seven. They dropped six of their last seven.

269
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: They're on an interim coach. Now, Jeff Ulbrick, what do

270
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: you make of New York here?

271
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: Well, they're talented, they got I had a lot of

272
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: really good players and obviously they got a Hall of

273
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: Fame quarterback back there. Obviously, you know, do some things,

274
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 4: and we got to do some things this week. So

275
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 4: it'll be a hell of a challenge going into New

276
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: York against those guys.

277
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: All right, coach, appreciate your time. I know losing skit

278
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: is not something fun, certainly not enjoyable to talk about,

279
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: but try and enjoy the rest of the night. Have

280
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: a good week of practice coming up, and we'll talk

281
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: to you next Monday.

282
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: All right, sounds a good thing.

283
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: It's head coach Shane Steich in with us tonight. This

00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 6: I loved it as a player, you know, because you

325
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,120

326
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,280

Speaker 2: And well said right there, no doubt about that.

333
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:41,400

347
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: All right, a lot on our schedule here the rest

348
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: of the way, we're gonna lead off the roundtable discussion

349
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: here with some breakdown of the game film from yesterday,

350
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: week number ten. We do that, of course, on segment two.

351
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: We call this the tail of the tape, raising hell today.

352
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Okay, bang bang, player bang bang, keep the hammer downright,

353
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: keep talking to one another, MANU to clean it up.

354
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 5: That's all.

355
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: Get ready, get ready?

356
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 6: Ye?

357
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: All right, Joe Wrights, we begin with you, sir. The

358
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: Colts have now lost three in a row turnovers with

359
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: a big story on Sunday four turnovers three picks, a

360
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: lost fumble plus a turnover on downs for the Cold

361
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: when they were in a scoring threat. The Colts have

362
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: scored twenty or less than four straight games, so still

363
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: some sluggishness on offense. They're now four and six on

364
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: the season, outside the playoff window as of right now.

365
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: So Joe, the floor is yours. What does your tail

366
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: the tape consist of tonight when you look back on

367
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: that Colts and Bills game?

368
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, high level, Matt.

369
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: It's the two things that have plagued us all season,

370
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 6: and kind of the more things change, the more they

371
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 6: stay the same. But it's turnovers and it's offensive efficiency.

372
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 6: And I know we got to twenty, but with that

373
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 6: touchdown with two seconds left in the ball game, you know,

374
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 6: when the game was clearly out of reach.

375
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 5: Just kind of a weird game. I mean, we.

376
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 6: Started off literally as bad as you could be with

377
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 6: the pick six and another interception. All of a sudden,

378
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 6: Buffalo is up ten to nothing, I mean early in

379
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 6: the game against us. But then we really rallied and

380
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 6: we fought in three straight scoring drives and the defense

381
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: was doing their part, offense was moving the ball and scoring,

382
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 6: and we were playing complimentary football. But you know, I

383
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 6: went back and watched the game. It was almost like

384
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 6: I could feel the air coming out of the balloon

385
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 6: watching it, you know, this morning, that end of first

386
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 6: half sequence when they score and then we go down

387
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 6: three and out right away. We had that third and

388
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 6: one no gain on short yardage with Jonathan Taylor, and

389
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 6: then we punt and then Alan did what he does.

390
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 6: We let him get outside the pocket. We lost our

391
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 6: rush lane and discipline and he leaks out to the

392
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 6: right and just kind of hangs onto it, hangs onto

393
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 6: it and floats that forty five yarder down the field.

394
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, Now they have two scores right

395
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 6: before half, and they're up by a touchdown. And then

396
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 6: in the second half it was again we punt, they punt,

397
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 6: and then we got the fumble, you know, when Gonzalvez

398
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 6: gets beat, you know, on the left edge Unflacca. But

399
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 6: then we pick at the very next play. It was

400
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 6: just one of those back and forth, back and forth.

401
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 6: But when we had that fourth and two and we

402
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 6: didn't get it turn the ball over on downs, I

403
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 6: really felt like that was kind of the straw that

404
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 6: broke the camel's back, and they went down and scored,

405
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 6: and again there were some positives in there, and I

406
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 6: know we'll talk about it, but for me, when I

407
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 6: watched that game mat again, it comes down to turnovers.

408
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 6: Four turnovers in the ball game, and just the lack

409
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 6: of offensive efficiency, you know, just here and there. And

410
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 6: the running game struggles were tough for me because, boy,

411
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 6: we were running the ball early in the first half

412
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 6: and I was getting excited. We busted that sixty yarder

413
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 6: on that play when everybody's blocking down, you pull Quinton Nelson,

414
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 6: He's running one hundred miles an hour at the cornerback. Yeah,

415
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 6: they got to make a business decision. And we tried

416
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 6: that first play. The second half, we got snuffed out

417
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 6: and lost a yard, and I think Taylor only had

418
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 6: four or five runs and we were only getting a

419
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 6: yard or two. Buffalo did a lot better job in

420
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 6: the second half about one kind of holding the point,

421
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 6: and we weren't getting any knock them back. And then

422
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 6: they were bringing some guys in, you know, with some

423
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 6: different you know, types of defensive fronts. When they were

424
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: moving guys and bringing guys down from the secondary and

425
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 6: linebackers were playing downhill. So we really didn't get that

426
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 6: running game and that complimentary football going in the second

427
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 6: half after it was so good in.

428
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: The first half.

429
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 6: But yeah, all in all, it was another tough day

430
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 6: just because you felt like you had an opportunity where

431
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 6: the defense was playing well early and I feel a

432
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 6: little bit these last couple of games, it's like the

433
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 6: defense is taking the ball away, playing well through the

434
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 6: first two and a half three quarters, but on the

435
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 6: offensive side, we're not giving them anything to play off of,

436
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 6: and that complimentary football isn't here. And then it seems like,

437
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 6: you know, they just kind of break there in the

438
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, almost like hey, you know, we're giving it.

439
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 6: We're giving it, we're giving it. But you know, the

440
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 6: offense has got to do their part. And that's what

441
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 6: we got to figure out, is how can we possess

442
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 6: the ball better in terms of not turning it over

443
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 6: and be more efficient to score points on offense.

444
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: That's Joe Wrights, that's his tail. The tape reflections on

445
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 2: the Colts thirty to twenty loss to the Buffalo Bills.

446
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: We send the baton over to Rick vent Terry. Rick,

447
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: the floor is yours. After watching the game film again today,

448
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 2: after another disappointing loss for the Colts.

449
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: Well, I think what was a little bit more disappointing

450
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: than normal, and maybe I talked myself into it, but

451
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 3: I do it with a lot of study and with

452
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: a lot of background. I felt like that this was

453
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: a great opportunity for us. We were catching them essentially

454
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: at the right time, in the right position to really

455
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: get an upset here, to get this win here. But

456
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: in the end, the Bills came in here. They were impressive.

457
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 3: I have to say they were impressive in a lot

458
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: of ways. And number one, they showed us and this

459
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: should be a model for us what an elite all

460
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: purpose quarterback can do. I think number two and I've

461
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: seen this two weeks in a row. I've seen two

462
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: great coaching jobs by Minnesota and by Buffalo. And this

463
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: is the perspective that I look at it. I look

464
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: at it at game plans. I look at it halftime adjustments,

465
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: and they've oudne us. We've been out coached two weeks

466
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: in a row on both sides of the ball. Basically,

467
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: the halftime adjustments that both teams have made against this

468
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: have given them the second half command period and fourth

469
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: quarter command. I think number three is their defense literally

470
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: came in and played like the eighty five Bears, and

471
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: they are not the eighty five Bears. But they came

472
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: in from the first series, you know, from the first play,

473
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: from the first pick six, with four turnovers, four sacks,

474
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: an ill advised fourth down gamble that was not only

475
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: stop but driven back fifteen yards. And you know, in

476
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: that sense, what really came out of it by the

477
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: end of the day that that is a top tier

478
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: eight and two team versus an average to below average

479
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: team in every possible way. On Sunday, I thought, what

480
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: was impressive is they came in without They came in

481
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: without their two top outside receivers. They lost King Kid,

482
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: their number three, they lost him in his second quarter.

483
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: But they played really close to the vest. They knew

484
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: the Coats were going to score a lot of points.

485
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: They knew they could get us late like everybody else does.

486
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: And basically they played really conservative, ran the ball, screens,

487
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: pushed it downfield only twice, and only really pushed it

488
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 3: downfield when he got out on the edge and through

489
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 3: the ball. I thought they did a terrific job. And

490
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: then at the end of the day, their top players

491
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, you know, Allen and Shakir made big,

492
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: big plays to get him out of jams. But I

493
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: think they got really good games out of their others Knots, Johnson,

494
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: you know, guys like that Hollins. Those guys gave them

495
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: the plays, and that's the difference in a good team

496
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: making plays, you know. So, I mean, I thought that

497
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: was impressive on defense, along with the turnovers and the

498
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: abysmal play we've had four weeks in a row. Is

499
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 3: really before garbage time, Matt. They held us to one

500
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five yards passing, and you're just not

501
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win in the National Football League with

502
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy five yards passing and then j

503
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: T has one hundred and seven in the first half,

504
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: but they shut him down totally in the second half.

505
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: They brought linebackers up and blitzed him. They ran zone fires,

506
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: they attacked downhill, and so they did the things at

507
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: the half that they had to do, and so, you know,

508
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: and then at the end, I mean, we can talk

509
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: all we want about the defense. I'm so tired of here.

510
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: And that's all I did for twenty seven years, and

511
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 3: I was told when I got a job in defense,

512
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 3: in the NFL that my job was to play four quarters.

513
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: My job was to hold that team one point less

514
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 3: than one point less than we got, and none of

515
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: that other crap matters, because at the end of the day,

516
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: this defense has given up. Now, turnovers are good, and

517
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: you can get mesmerized by turnovers and think you're playing great.

518
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: We've given up four hundred and sixteen yards last week.

519
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: We gave four hundred and fifteen yards this week in

520
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter they had to ball for ten minutes

521
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: and ten points. Two drives sixty and the other one

522
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: amounted to ninety four yards. I mean, so, you know,

523
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 3: let's stop it with all this. You know, you know

524
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: we're playing good enough. There is no good enough. You

525
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 3: either play really good or not. And the reality is

526
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: we're twenty ninth in total defense, thirtieth in rush defense,

527
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: twenty seventh versus the pass, and we're twenty seventh in

528
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. So you know, let's take a look

529
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: at the whole thing. And I think at the end,

530
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: my biggest concern, and we'll get we're gonna get into

531
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 3: this is I see no reason and I said it

532
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: that you asked me about it. I see no reason

533
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: why at this stage, you're going with a thirty nine

534
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: year old journeyman. To me, it's a bust to nowhere.

535
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: We've got a young kid that has at least two

536
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: great edges to him running and deep ball throwing. Coach

537
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 3: him up, discipline him, getting ready, and if nothing else

538
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: in January, you better damn sure know who he is

539
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: as you go forward.

540
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna talk more about that, obviously, in more

541

Speaker 2: brought to you by Caesar Sportsbook, proud sports betting partner

575
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: of the Indianapolis Colts. Welcome back to the show. I'm

576
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor, joined by Rick Venturian Joe Wrights, and we're

577
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: gonna fill in some blanks here. The Colts are four

578
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: and six, They've dropped three in a row. I've got

579
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: some statements for the fellas that I've left empty, and

580
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: Rick and Joe are gonna give me their thoughts on

581
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: how to finish out these statements based on where the

582
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 2: Colts are at right now ten games into the season.

583
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 2: So we preface quarterback on the last segment, Rick, and

584
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you kind of pick up where you

585
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: left off with your thoughts there. So here's the statement Rick,

586
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: when it comes to quarterback, the Colts need to blank

587
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 2: in the last seven games of the season.

588
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need to go back to Anthony for several reasons.

589
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: Number One, Anthony gives you two special ways to try

590
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: to win. Number One, he improves the running game exponentially.

591
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: There's no question about when Anthony's in the game. With JT,

592
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: you can count on one hundred and twenty five to

593
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty yards. Because you have a guy

594
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: that is now like the running back, very much like

595
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: Alan who added the seventy yesterday. I would and I

596
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: would play him like an NCAA quarterback. If he gets

597
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: banged up, he gets banged up. The other thing that

598
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 3: he can do is he can air it out. He

599
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: can throw even though he struggles underneath. He's tremendously accurate

600
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: and he is aggressive on the deep ball. So you

601
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 3: have a chance to be explosive downfield and you have

602
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 3: a chance to improve the running game. What you have

603
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: to do is you have to help him. You have

604
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: to run him on screens possession wise, moot legs, move,

605
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: spread him, get him to the edge. But in that sense,

606
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: I think you've got to get the playmaker in there.

607
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: You got to get him in there. You got to

608
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: commit to him. And then what that does we'll get

609
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 3: into this in the second part of the question. But

610
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: what that does is it allows you to get a

611
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: method to win. Right now, we had no method to win.

612
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 3: I look out there, I don't know what the offense is.

613
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 3: I mean, Flacco throws for six point six per play.

614
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: He doesn't throw the deep ball like he used to.

615
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: We can't run the ball consistently. We got a fifty

616
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 3: nine yard run and then the rest of it was there.

617
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: So to me, you go with that young kid, not

618
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: only because I think you could win now with him,

619
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: but because we have got to know in January exactly

620
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: who he is, all.

621
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 2: Right, Joe writes some more context here, Joe Flacco has

622
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: committed six turnovers in the last two games since being

623
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: named the starter. Flacco is one in three as the

624
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: Colts starter on the season. So I'm gonna give you

625
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: the same statement you fill in the blank here. So, Joe,

626
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 2: when it comes to quarterback, the Colts need to blank

627
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 2: in the last seven games.

628
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I would agree with coach in terms of,

629
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 6: you know, I was a fan of the decision when

630
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 6: it was made, but I think, you know, after these

631
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 6: last two weeks, my word, Matt was possessed the football.

632
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 6: When you have six turnovers over a two game span,

633
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 6: you just it's really, really, really hard to win. We're

634
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 6: now third worse than the NFL and turnover differential. You

635
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 6: combine that with third downs and you think about us

636
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 6: third down over the last couple of weeks, you know,

637
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 6: and we're twenty five percent. You know, we're twenty seven

638
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 6: percent over the last four thirteen for forty eight And

639
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 6: so to me, possessing the football means one not turning

640
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 6: it over to staying on the field. We talked, you know,

641
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 6: about the time of possession, how the Colts are dead

642
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 6: last in the NFL. They did that again even though

643
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 6: Buffalo had won last offensive series with their pick six.

644
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 6: But you know, I would agree with coach in terms

645
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 6: of I think that, you know, going back to Richardson

646
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 6: at this point, you know, makes the most sense to me.

647
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: All right, Joe, hank tight right there. Let's talk about

648
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: the offense overall. You mentioned possessing the football, but they

649
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: have just two touchdowns and six turnovers in the last

650
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: two weeks, and yesterday against the Bills mark the fifth

651
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: straight game for the Colts not scoring over twenty points.

652
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: So fill in the blank here, Joe. The biggest thing

653
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: that needs to be addressed within this Colts offense right

654
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: now is blank.

655
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 5: Establishing an identity. Matt.

656
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 6: If I asked you right now, what's our offensive identity,

657
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 6: you know, would you be able to answer that question?

658
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 5: I mean, and I think that it'd.

659
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: Be really tough considering you know, you're going back and

660
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: forth obviously with the quarterbacks, and now you have injuries

661
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: to your wide receiver corps.

662
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 6: And to me, that's the issue. Right we're ten games

663
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 6: into the season. What's our offensive identity? You know, who

664
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 6: is our quarterback? Are we going to be a possession

665
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 6: passing team? Are we going to throw the ball down

666
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: the field to take big shots? Are we going to

667
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 6: be a running team with Jonathan Taylor where he gets

668
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five carries a game, which to me, those

669
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 6: are the games that end up working out well for

670
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 6: the Colts. I just think right now, through ten games,

671
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 6: we don't have an identity. And when you don't know

672
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 6: as an offense who you are and what you're going

673
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 6: to be about, it's really hard to win games. And

674
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 6: even if you're more limited, you say, hey, we're just

675
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 6: gonna do these three things, right, you do them really

676
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 6: really really well, and you know your identity and all

677
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 6: eleven guys in the huddle know exactly what we're going

678
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 6: to do, how we're going to execute. That's what we

679
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 6: need to get going. And so we got to find

680
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 6: a way. You know, I don't want to say go

681
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 6: back to square one. But we got to find our

682
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 6: offensive identity if we want any chance here, you know,

683
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 6: to win a bunch of ball games and try to

684
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 6: get ourselves back in this playoff race.

685
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: All right, I like that answer, Rick Fincuri. For you,

686
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: the biggest thing that needs to be addressed within the

687
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: Colts offense right now is blank finish it.

688
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, first you have to establish the quarterback, and

689
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: then you have to establish the identity or as I

690
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: call it, the method that you're gonna win with. Because

691
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: you know, right now, as Joe said, we're all over

692
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: the place. Look at Minnesota two weeks ago. What do

693
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 3: they do. They hand it to Jones and they throw

694
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: it to Jefferson. You know, basically, basically Buffalo is built

695
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: around a runner, a quarterback, and they could actually play

696
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: without outside receivers. They basically have an identity, they have

697
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: a method. And basically, when you if you go with Anthony,

698
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: which you should, now, what you do is you play

699
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: NCAA football, Like I said, you get back to the

700
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: RPO game, you get back to the zone read game.

701
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: You know, you throw the ball deep, you do those

702
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: kinds of things. Run the quarterback and then basically everything

703
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: and then and then it's easier to call the game.

704
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Stichen is really suffering calling the game

705
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: because it's a totally different game and nobody's that good

706
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: you and you know what happens is if you look

707
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: at Buffalo over the years, you know when Allen started out,

708
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: he struggled like hell, But right now they know exactly.

709
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: I mean, when they get in the red zone, they're

710
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: gonna run him. I can predict it, I can call it.

711
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: But you know what, good teams have tendencies because they're

712
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: good at something and they do things over and over.

713
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: Like Joe said, you know how you're gonna win. You're

714
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: gonna do this for better or worse, and that is

715
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 3: what's really important. But it starts with the guy at

716
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: the controls. Without the guy at the controls, there is

717
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: no identity. So you know, to me, you fix it

718
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: right now and you re establish because it's all there,

719
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: it's all in the playbook. It's just a matter of

720
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: re establishing. And this is the way we're gonna go

721
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 3: for seven weeks.

722
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: That's Rick vent Terry. Joe Wrights is on the horn

723
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: as well. I'm Matt Taylor. This is Colts Roundtable. Live

724
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: Tonight with you until seven o'clock here on ninety three

725
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: five and one oh seven five the Fan. We're filling

726
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: in the blanks the last one here in terms of

727
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: this segment. I'm gonna set up the context now. So

728
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: three game losing streak for the Colts and they're four

729
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: and six, but they remain in the number eight slot

730
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: in the AFC playoff picture, so they're on the outside

731
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: looking in right now. But they do have very important

732
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: upcoming meetings with the Jets and the Broncos. Those AFC

733
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: matchups loom very, very large. So Joe fill in the blank.

734
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: The Colts playoff hopes are blank as we enter the

735
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: middle of November.

736
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say dwindling fast, but not dead.

737
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 6: And the reason I say that is you've lost three

738
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 6: in a row, and I know there's talk about playoffs.

739
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 6: You know, we just got to go win a football game,

740
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 6: and we got to do that and focus on doing

741
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 6: that and win another one and win another one the

742
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 6: next week. But the reality is, Matt, you know there's

743
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 6: some bad teams in the AFC, and you know this

744
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 6: last playoff spot is going to come down to Denvers

745
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 6: five and five. The Colts who are four and six,

746
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 6: and the Bengals who are four and six, And so

747
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 6: if you can get on a streak and you can

748
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 6: win some football games, you could get into the playoffs

749
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 6: at ten and seven for sure, maybe even nine to

750
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 6: eight depending on how things play out. And I know

751
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 6: we play at Denver that could be depending on how

752
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 6: things shake out, potentially kind of a play in type game.

753
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: Wild card Bowl, right, Yeah, absolutely for sure.

754
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 5: And so it's still out there.

755
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 6: But again, before you start thinking about playoffs and snars,

756
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 6: et cetera, we just got to figure ot how to

757
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 6: win and win one football game and then go do

758
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 6: it the next week, all.

759
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: Right, Rick, lastly, for you, the Colts playoff hopes are

760
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: blank as we enter the middle of November.

761
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're dwindling, but they're alive and well because of

762
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: who you play. I've always said matchups are about who

763
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: you play on the day you play them, not necessarily

764
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 3: the perception of the pundits or the media. The only

765
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: important thing, Joe is right. They used to say it

766
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: around here, you got to be one to zero. You're

767
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 3: going to New York. They phoned it in yesterday. They

768
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 3: were embarrassed. I watched the game that means they're going

769
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: to come out and play better. They're more talented than

770
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 3: their record, much more. You've got to go to New

771
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 3: York and you've got to play sixty minutes. We're not

772
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 3: doing that on any aspect of the game. There's no

773
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: aspect of the game that we are dominating sixty minutes

774
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 3: that we are playing winning football. We've got excuses up

775
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: the gig right now, but in the end of the day,

776
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: we're not playing well enough on any aspect of the

777
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: game to be there. But other than Detroit, I mean,

778
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: you've got six bottom theaters. I mean there is six

779
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 3: games that if you play an a game which we

780
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: haven't we haven't found. If you find maybe Pittsburgh, if

781
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: you if you bring an a game that you certainly

782
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: can't win against, I mean we are we are in

783
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: We're in the land of the loss now other than Detroit.

784
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,479
Speaker 3: So anything's possible. There's still a lot of football left,

785
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 3: but obviously we got to pull that stuff together.

786
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: Yep, Jets, Lions, New England, then the bye at Denver,

787
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: Tennessee Giants, and Jacksonville to close out the schedule here

788

814
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 2: soup of the Indianapolis Colts and a proud sponsor of

815
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: hundreds of local sports teams across the Midwest. All right,

816
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 2: let's go to a couple of the big juicy ones

817
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 2: we have here. This is Jase up first. He's asking, Hey, Joe,

818
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: how would you respond as a former player to Kenny

819
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: Moore's comments after the game? And do you think he's right?

820
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

821
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 6: And for context, Kenny said after the game, you know quote,

822
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 6: I don't think everybody is working as hard as possible.

823
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 6: I'm not the type of sugarcoat it. Honestly, I don't

824
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 6: think the urgency is there. I don't think the details

825
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 6: are there. I don't think the effort is there. I

826
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 6: don't see everything correlating from meetings to practice to games.

827
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 6: We got to look ourselves in the mirror and ask

828
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 6: ourselves how bad do we want it?

829
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 5: Individually? That's what drives me insane. We're in November.

830
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 6: I don't see us making that jump from September to November.

831
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 6: I'm seeing the same thing. So some some pretty raw

832
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 6: comments from Kenny, And as a player, I don't have

833
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 6: any problem with it, you know, Matt. I'm usually of

834
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 6: the adage that, you know, keep everything in house and

835
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 6: don't you know, air things out to the media. But

836
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 6: I also believe in desperate times cause for experate measures,

837
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 6: and this is a desperate part of the football season,

838
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 6: you know. I think you could argue the cults are

839
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 6: are rock bottom right now, and sometimes when that happens,

840
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 6: I do think it's okay to put things out in

841
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 6: the media because what are you doing. You're calling out

842
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 6: the other fifty two guys on the roster, and you're

843
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 6: also telling people by me putting this out there, follow me.

844
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 6: I'll show you the way. I'll show you the way

845
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 6: to practice, to prepare, to meet, to give my effort,

846
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 6: you know, for the next seven Sundays and try to

847
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 6: get this ship turned around. So again, I'm one that

848
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 6: I had no problem with it, especially given the point

849
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 6: in time we're at in the season and these last

850
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 6: couple disappointing losses. But you know, coach. I'm curious your

851
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 6: take on the coaching side of that.

852
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I really don't have a ton of

853
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: problem with it. I always kind of judge that on

854
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: who makes the statement. You know, we had a lot

855
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 3: of guys talking about Richardson, you know, that can't make

856
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 3: it through a game two weeks ago. I was very

857
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: high on that, you know, But in this case, there's

858
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 3: nobody that's played harder, played better, given us everything he has,

859
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 3: no matter what, but than Kenny Moore. So I mean,

860
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: I think people ought to straighten up and listen. I

861
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: think it's a tremendous indictment on the coaching staff, leadership,

862
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 3: and on the players. But you know what, if you

863
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 3: look at the tape, what's not to believe, to be

864
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 3: honest with you, Yeah, And so if it has an effect, great,

865
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 3: If it doesn't, then we're the same old group anyway.

866
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 3: But you know, this team really has lagged in every

867
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 3: aspect of the game, and starting with leadership, we've been

868
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 3: out coached, outplayed, and and you know what, I really

869
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 3: respect that particular guy, So you know, it's you know,

870
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: it's time. You know, I have just sensed this is

871
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 3: just me. I have just sensed from all that kumbaya

872
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 3: that I hear. Oh you know, we had great effort

873
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: out there. Our guys play. Wait a minute, great effort

874
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 3: is inherent in your NFL contract, right deal, it's a

875
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 3: baseline deal. You are paid for performance. Like Lombardi used

876
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 3: to say, the Woods is full of good guys. I

877
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: want performers, you know, And I'm so tired of that.

878
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 3: And when you talk that way all the time there,

879
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 3: you never feel like there's accountability, Joe, like sometimes you

880
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: have to kick button. If the coaches aren't going to

881
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: do it, let Kenny do it, no.

882
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: Doubt about it. Certainly a different dynamic out in the

883
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: open now within that Colts locker room. We'll see how

884
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 2: it translates or what the effect is this week open

885
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: locker room starting on Wednesday. This week with the media

886
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: back inside there, All right, we got time for one more.

887
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bruce. He's asking, hey, Rick, in what

888
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: ways has our defense subtly improved in the last three games.

889
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 2: It seems like we're not giving up the big plays

890
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,479
Speaker 2: as much as we were.

891
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 5: No.

892
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 3: I think that's I think that's right there, you know,

893
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 3: And I but I also think, you know, we're getting

894
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: a little bit of a break. I thought Buffalo played

895
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: us not to lose in many respects and only really

896
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: aired it out when he got out of the pocket.

897
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: But I would have to say that we are we're

898
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: not giving the over the top place. And I think

899
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: there's two areas that we're improved in. We're terrible in

900
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: most areas. I mean, we're twenty ninth in total, we're

901
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 3: twenty seventh in the fourth quarter, twenty ninth in past

902
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 3: percentage against, and we're twenty seventh and third down. So

903
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: you know, this ain't the eighty five Bears. And to

904
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: give these guys all this plodits is just beyond me.

905
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 3: But there's two areas that we're hanging in, and I

906
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 3: think it's keeping us in Number one. We're at least

907
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 3: in the middle in scoring defense, and we've actually been

908
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: up to twelve. We've fallen back now and we've fallen

909
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 3: back to sixteenth, but we're still in the middle on

910
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 3: points giving up, you know, and points giving up will

911
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 3: still will give you a chance. And the thing that's

912
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 3: keeping us in the game, the thing that is keeping

913
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: us into game is the turnovers, is the takeaways. I mean,

914
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: we're number eight and that's a great thing. I mean,

915
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 3: takeaways are to be cherished. The only thing I will

916
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: warn people, and it's also the reason why we lose

917
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 3: games is that takeaways are good plays. But it isn't

918
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: the same as stopping people. Okay, in terms of overall defense,

919
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: way too much volume four sixteen, last week, four fifteen,

920
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: this week, twenty ninth total. You know, bad on third down,

921
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: and you know we're so bad on offense on third down,

922
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 3: so bad on defense on third down. That's why we're

923
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 3: ten minutes in deficiency on time of possession because we

924
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 3: can't stay on and we can't get off. So you always,

925
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 3: you know, I always ask the question, you know, did

926
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: we stop them or did we just make a few plays?

927
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: And making a few plays is really good. I'm not

928
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 3: going to minimize that because you know, speed and canny

929
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: kept us in that game for a long time, but

930
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 3: in the end to see it catch us up with

931
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: you in that fourth quarter. That's why we keep getting

932
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 3: destroyed in that fourth quarter, all.

933
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: Right, Rick Venterry right there. Joe Wright's along as well.

945
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: by the Cardinals on Sunday thirty one to six, and

946
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 2: they've lost six of their last seven games. That's a

947
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 2: road game coming up for the Colts, so we'll talk

Speaker 2: about that game and also put a bow on Sunday's

949
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: game against the Bills. We'll do all of that when

964
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 2: Venturi and Joe Wrights are here. It's time now for

965
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: the closing arguments as we wrap up the show, and Joe,

966
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna give it to you first on just your

967
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: final thoughts on that disappointing loss to the Bills the

968
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: upcoming match up against the three and seven Jets, who

969
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: were blown out by the Cardinals on the road on Sundays. So,

970
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: where do you think the Colts go from here? Obviously,

971
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 2: I guess we've been saying this now for the last

972
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, but yet again this week is yet

973
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 2: another fork in the road type of game coming up

974
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 2: for the Colts.

975
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 6: No question, Matt, But I do think you know that

976
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 6: the Colts have bottomed out, and I think you know that,

977
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 6: Kenny Moore, you know, calling people out publicly again, I

978
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 6: think the that's a good thing because I think at

979
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 6: this point in the season you've got to do things

980
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 6: differently than you've done the first ten or it's going

981
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 6: to be rinse and repeat. And but you're going up

982
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 6: against a Jets team that's kind of been the same story.

983
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 6: They're three and seven, not at all where they want

984
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 6: to be. You know, they're really struggling. They got boat

985
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 6: raced by Arizona yesterday. Arizona didn't punt and they had

986
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 6: won punt in the game and five scoring drives and

987
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 6: finished with the ball in their hands with a knee.

988
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 6: So but as coach mentioned, you know, usually when you

989
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 6: have an embarrassing performance like that, you're going to come

990
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 6: back and be a lot better. But Coach, when you

991
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 6: watch the x's and o's, what should we expect from

992
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 6: this team and the Big Apple coming up Sunday.

993
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 3: Well, Joe, you know this, this is a dangerous game

994
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 3: because the perception is going to be they're not worth

995
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 3: a darn and they do have emotional issues. I mean,

996
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 3: the Jets problems are emotional firing. Their coach. You know,

997
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: an interim coach usually runs out of gas after about three.

998
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 3: They phoned it in yesterday. It was really a totally embarrassment,

999
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 3: particularly their defense. But at the end of the day,

1000
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 3: this is a team that is much better than the

1001
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: three and seven. That's not a just a coach cliche.

1002
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 3: They're much better. Rogers is not playing great, but he's

1003
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 3: always capable. He's got three really good players in Haul,

1004
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 3: Wilson and Adams. They got three really skill guys on

1005
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 3: offense and defense. Until yesterday, is one of the best

1006
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 3: defenses in the league. It's fourth total two in sacks.

1007
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: They've got about six guys up front that they can

1008
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 3: roll and play. So it just kind of depends on

1009
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: what Jet team you get. If you get an inspired

1010
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 3: Jet team that is really ready to play and execute,

1011
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 3: then you'll have your hands.

1012
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 2: Full, no question about that. All right, Rick and Joe,

1013
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: I appreciate the time as though, as you guys are

1014
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 2: the best. Have a great rest of the night and

1015
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:38,720
Speaker 2: have a great rest of the week.

1016
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 5: All right, Thanks Matt.

1017
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: Thanks to head coach Shane Steichen, who joined in on

1018
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: that first segment tonight for his thoughts following the loss

1019
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: to the Buffalo Bills and if you miss any of
