Speaker 1: Man?

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 5: How are you took my kids to the track on Saturday?

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: For?

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: Uh?

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 5: That is due old move. Well, we just sat in

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 5: the infield. There are some mounds by turn two.

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

34
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 5: So they watched the cars for about thirty minutes, and

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 5: they rolled down the hills for thirty minutes, and then

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 5: they wanted to leave.

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: Uh.

38
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 5: But they have not stopped talking about the race cars

39
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 5: that they got to see. They're two three year olds

40
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 5: getting to see race cars for the first time. It

41
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 5: blew their minds. I think they're gonna be going back

42
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 5: pretty frequently.

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: I know it's awesome.

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: I don't know when the acceptable ages to take your

45
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 5: kids to the race for the first time, but like

46
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: I wanted to be like fifteen, I was ten. I

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 5: think okay, it's probably about ten.

48
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Nine or ten. Yeah, And I just remember my parents.

49
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: They didn't make it a full day thing. Like we

50
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: rolled up. I think they curbed it off. We rolled

51
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: up like thirty minutes before the green flag. I don't

52
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 2: know how my dad finagled it, but we didn't. We

53
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: didn't try to push the envelope, I remember. And then

54
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: I think as soon as that bad Boy was over,

55
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: we were out of there. We were hoofing it traffic.

56
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 5: When is your first Kentucky Derby?

57
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: Uh, first Kentucky Derby that I attended. I was working,

58
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: so I was probably twenty two.

59
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 5: Okay, So he didn't go as like a kid or anything.

60
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: No, it's very much not. I mean, I mean, tickets

61
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: to attend, if you're sitting in the seats and not

62
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: doing the infield are pretty hefty. So it's an expensive

63
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: day to take a kid because it's obviously much more

64
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 4: limited seating and stands area than the five hundred, and

65
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 4: then the infield is very much not child.

66
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 5: Appropriated, you know, No, definitely definitely not. Yeah, so I

67
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 5: got a virgin jewel out there.

68
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, So I was. I was twenty call that water.

69
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was twenty two with my first Kentucky Derby

70
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 4: and then my first Indy five hundred, I was probably

71
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 4: twenty seven.

72
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Have you ever been.

73
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 6: Twice?

74
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't know.

75
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 4: I only made it to the end once I left

76
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 4: early the other time, I mean, not for any not

77
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 4: for any like yeah, read know. I was just like,

78
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: this is it. I'm ready to go home.

79
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: I like, I know it's not your cup of tea,

80
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: So I know that.

81
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: No, And then I've worked I don't know, like eight

82
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 4: seven eight of them. No, I just didn't know what

83
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 4: I was in for.

84
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 5: I like, went with friends and did you sit or no.

85
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 4: We were in the infield, and so if you can't

86
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: see anything, I'm like, wait, I just don't. I'm wanting

87
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: to watch the activity and we weren't seeing it. And

88
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: I was just I got a little bamboozled, I feel

89
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: like by the whole thing. So yeah, I was like,

90
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: peace out. I can do this at home.

91
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: I just don't know how people in the infield get

92
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: out of there. I mean, do they get out of there?

93
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Like on Wednesday?

94
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: Really, that's how you get out of that.

95
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: You stay for the end of the race in the infield.

96
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: What time are you getting home?

97
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 5: The only time we I've done the infield, we stayed

98
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: for like two to three hours after the race and

99
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 5: then still sat in traffic.

100
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: Oh course there. I mean it was absolutely yeah. I

101
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: will say that is the only ton of civic pride

102
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the five hundred and

103
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: all that it represents the only thing, and it's inevitable.

104
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: You can't help the traffic. You have three hundred and

105
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand people leaving a concentrated area, You're gonna

106
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: sit in traffic. I just feel like every year there's

107
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: another set of hurdles that didn't exist the year before

108
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: in terms of traffic and construction and interstate shut downs

109
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: and all of that that just make it really difficult.

110
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 5: I've got this down pretty well after last year, where uh,

111
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: some friends of mine come in from Saint Louis every

112
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 5: year for the race, and I'll hop in their car

113
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 5: after they will drop me off at the airport and

114
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: then I'll get an UBER from the airport to my

115
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: house so I don't have to drive there, I don't

116
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 5: have to drive back, and I can actually call one

117
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: because there's no way I'm calling an UBER in the

118
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 5: chaos of three hundred thousand people leaving the track because

119
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 5: you always have the airport uber's right. I like that,

120
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: And yeah, you're you're always going to get a new

121
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 5: BER at the airport, So just hey, drop me at

122
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: the airport. I'll call one from.

123
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: There and they'll Oh, that's savvy, that is savvy. Great,

124
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: that's that's thinking right little. I had absolutely life hacks

125
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: by J. J. Stankers. He's writing a book in the offseason.

126
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,680

Speaker 2: pass rush going into next season. A bunch of sacks

143
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: last year, but were they impactful? Did they come at

144
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: the right times. We'll talk about that as we progress,

159
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: training camp.

160
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 4: I think it's full comprehension of the offense and defensive schematics. Obviously,

161
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: Shane Steichen is bringing in a new offense along with

162
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: Jim Bob Cooter and incorporating all of that. So making

163
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: sure that guys are up to speed and where they

164
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: need to be in terms of the progress in that system.

165
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: And then from the defensive standpoint, making sure that you're

166
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: able to start this season and start training camp maybe

167
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: faster than what you did where you're not, you know,

168
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: still in that initial install phase. With Gus Bradley, it's

169
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: more so Okay, this is taking command. We know exactly

170
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: what we're doing, and we're able to put ourselves in

171
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: positions to be successful when the time comes and you

172
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: don't really have this kind of period of trying to

173
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 4: still grasp and incorporate that. When you're also getting into

174
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: you know, training camp in those preseason games, you're able

175
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: to kind of have I I would hope a mastery

176
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: of it at this point. From the defensive side.

177
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: I think the defensive stuff is really interesting because I

178
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 5: remember something Gus Bradley told us last year that when

179
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 5: he was in Tampa, it was his first job in

180
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: the NFL and he was a linebackers coach with the

181
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: Buccaneers and Derek Brooks, Hall of Fame linebacker was in

182
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: that room toward the tail end of his career, and

183
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 5: they were going over some basic install like the the

184
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 5: most basic of things, and he said Derek Brooks was

185
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 5: taking like copious notes during that and he asked him,

186
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 5: you've been in this defense for a decade and a half.

187
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: Why are you still taking notes? And he said, because

188
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 5: there's always something you can learn. And I think about

189
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 5: that a lot. Is now a lot of these guys

190
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 5: on this defense are going through the second time they're

191
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 5: installing it. What else can you learn from it? What's

192
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 5: something now that you're going through it the second time

193
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 5: you didn't pick up the first time. That can help

194
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 5: you out when you get to the regular season and

195
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 5: play even faster exactly, And when you play faster, what

196
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 5: does that lead to mate more take pots. That's the

197
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 5: thing that kind of held this defense back last year

198
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 5: was it didn't take the ball away a whole lot.

199
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: So I think when you start to layer that that knowledge,

200
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 5: that is a huge benefit at this time of the

201
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 5: year to me.

202
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: And I've got two things on both sides of the ball,

203
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: or I guess one thing on each side of the ball.

204
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: So on offense, I agree with what you said, Laia,

205
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: but let's let's get a starting five offensive line.

206
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: Right.

207
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: We know Bernard Rayman is going to get the first

208
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: shot or the first crack at left tackle. What about

209
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: right guard?

210
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: Though?

211
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: Is it still Will fries I mean, we're gonna find

212
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: out open practice is coming up on Thursday with the media.

213
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: Is Will Fryes still the right guard you know, running

214
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: initially with the first team offense. Is it Danny Pinter,

215
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: you know, does he get another crack at after what

216
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: happened last year? Or Emil ekiyor right the highly coveted

217
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: undrafted free agent from Alabama. Some Indianapolis ties went to

218
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: Cathedral High School and then on defense, get a really

219
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: good look at how the Colts are going to line

220
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: up in the secondary at corner Who's running out there

221
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: initially at corner We know it won't be Juju Brints

222
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: dealing with that wrist injury in the offseason. Isaiah Rodgers,

223
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. Jj probably gets the first crack with

224
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: the starters at cornerback. But how much time for Dallas

225
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: Flowers right, how much time for Jalen Jones or Darius Rush.

226
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: Those are the big corners the Colts have prioritized and

227
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: drafted in the off season to play in this Gus

228
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: Bradley defense. How do the Colts initially break up those

229
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: reps in the spring at corner.

230
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the thing with this part of the calendar

231
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 5: is it's gonna be geared toward offense. When you don't

232
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 5: have pads on, you can just it's gonna be a

233
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 5: little bit easier for the offense to make some plays

234
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 5: in these seven on seven especially in seven on seven. Yeah,

235
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 5: you know, you just kind of want to see what

236
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 5: the foundation is for these competitions, whether, I mean quarterback

237
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 5: obviously is the big one, but like you mentioned, right

238
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: guard slot receiver between Josh Downs and Isaiah Mackenzie Junior,

239
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: you know, there's gonna be pretty good competition. I think

240
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 5: at defensive end. If you're gonna Quitty pay probably starting

241
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 5: on one side, what what does it look like with

242
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 5: Dioa Dangbo and Samson Ebicom Cornerback obviously is big safety.

243
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 5: How does Nick Cross slide into some of these things.

244
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 5: There's a lot of competition that's left to be settled

245
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 5: on this team in a way that I think is

246
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 5: really going to benefit the Colts when they get up

247
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 5: to Grand Park and train of camp.

248
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaking of that, I put this in the notes

249
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: for the podcast Give Me a Player, JJ. Is there

250
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: a player that is in store for like the biggest

251
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: jump starting right now. Like, if they're gonna have a

252
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: really big twenty twenty three compared to what we've seen

253
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: from them in the past, it's gonna start right now.

254
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: In OTAs, the reason why they have a really big

255
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: season upcoming in twenty three is because of the work

256
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: they put in the off season and an OTAs, who's

257
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: that guy for you on this Colts team?

258
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no question for me that it's Alec Pierce.

259
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: I talked with Alec at the end of the season

260
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 5: on locker clean out day just about what he wanted

261
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 5: to work on in the you know, couple of months away,

262
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 5: and he said a lot of it is going to

263
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 5: be really honing in on some of his route running techniques.

264
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 5: Last year, Alec primarily was an outside the numbers ball winner.

265
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 5: That's what he was in college. You could throw it

266
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 5: up to him if you got single coverage, he was

267
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,479
Speaker 5: probably gonna come down with it. In a lot of situatuations.

268
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 5: The intermediate over the middle type stuff, I think is

269
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 5: where he is going to make the biggest jump. We

270
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 5: saw some of it last year. Last year, he but

271
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 5: he was only targeted nine times on intermediate routes over

272
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 5: the middle last year that's between ten and twenty yards

273
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 5: between the numbers. He caught six of those for ninety yards.

274
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: You know, he had a couple of pretty nice grabs

275
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 5: in those situations. I think he can he can start

276
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 5: to develop on those as you get through this, you know,

277
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 5: whether it's just taking the knowledge and you know, applying

278
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 5: it to some of the coaching that Reggie Wayne is

279
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: going to be giving him. But the big reason for

280
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 5: Alec why I'm just in general I'm so bullish on him,

281
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 5: not necessarily on what he may or may not do

282
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 5: in OTAs, but this offense last year was not really

283
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 5: geared to maximize Alec Pearce's skill set with right because

284
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: you couldn't push the ball downfield, not at all, because

285
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 5: you know, you you had protection issues. Matt Ryan did not.

286
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: Out of the strongest arm so Alex Pierce. Last year,

287
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 5: he was targeted fifteen times on passes that traveled twenty

288
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 5: or more yards beyond the line of scrimmage. That led

289
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: the Colts. That was tied for fortieth in the NFL

290
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: h SO, and he caught seven of those for two

291
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 5: hundred and forty three yards. His receiving grade from Pro

292
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 5: Football Focus on those was ninety three point two. That

293
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 5: was fifteenth out of seventy four qualified receivers. So he's

294
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 5: good on those. Alex Pierce is good, just needs more opportunities, right,

295
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 5: And he only had eight targets on play action that

296
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 5: was tied for one hundred and first in the NFL

297
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 5: among wide receivers. Like, if you just get ten more

298
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: targets on play action deep shots, I think Alec Pierce

299
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 5: adds like one hundred and fifty to two hundred yards

300
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: was receiving total just right off the back.

301
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: I agree just like that. I agree the same thing

302
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: with Jelanni Woods, right.

303
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jelannie was gonna be the other guy to bring

304
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 5: up here. But I just think Alex if he can

305
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 5: continue to hone that route running aspect of things and

306
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 5: then continue to just be that outside the numbers force

307
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 5: within this offense, he should have more opportunities because the

308
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 5: offensive line should be better with Tony Soprano Junior hopefully

309
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 5: getting more out of that group.

310
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: That's my nd right there that I just said the

311
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: entire unit that for me, that's the entire unit that

312
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: I think is in store for a big bounce back.

313
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 5: Well and then then well just to cap it off, yea,

314
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: if it's Gardner Minshew starting, he's shown a willingness to

315
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 5: push the ball downfield and saw that with Philly last year.

316
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 5: And then if it's Anthony Richardson, he's got a freakin

317
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 5: Howitzer for an arm. So I mean it's you're gonna

318
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: have more of those opportunities I think just baked into

319
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 5: this offense than you were gonna have last year, and

320
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 5: I think that maximizes the kind of production that Alt

321
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: can have in her two.

322
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: You said Jelannie woods Lair, Yeah.

323
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: Jelannie was certainly gonna be gonna be mine for a

324
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: lot of the same reasons as Alex. You saw him

325
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: have those type of explosive plays, just didn't have them

326
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: with the consistency that you would hope and a lot

327
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: of that was due to the fact there was so

328
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: much rotation at quarterback and you know, not being able

329
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: to give him the opportunities of course that you would

330
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: have liked to have had for him. And I think

331
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: that you'll see a lot more of that, especially with

332
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: it's so difficult when you're coming off of, you know,

333
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: a draft and you're going into a rookie season because

334
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: your off season leading into is so shortened, you don't

335
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: get the spring right. So I think that's why you

336
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: see second year guys emerge, especially within the offense. You know,

337
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: we talk about of course the big learning curve that

338
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: there obviously is at the wide receiver position. I think

339
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: you can lump in tight end with that as well.

340
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: So now that these guys have had what from march

341
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 4: on working with Gardner Minshew and Sam Ellinger and then ANTHONYA.

342
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: Richardson comes in the fold, but you've had this entire

343
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: time with Shane Steichen and coach Cooter and everything, so

344
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: you've been able to better integrate yourself into where you

345
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 4: hope to be in the impact you hope to have

346
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: within the offense.

347
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what kind of difference the quarterback makes

348
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: in both of those regards with Alec Pierce Angelani Woods,

349
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: as we said, Ota starting this week, and that battle

350
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: is I guess starting to heat up because of that

351
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: between Richardson and Minshew. And this is going back to

352
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: I think last Thursday, Minshew spoke with the media and

353
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: said that he and Richardson worked out together in Florida

354
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: earlier in the off season, and Minshew had that great

355
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: quote kind of connect the dots. It'd be great to

356
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: go back and play with Shane Steikin. Colts need a quarterback.

357
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm working out with this guy who's projected to go

358
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: in the top five. We might be teammates and wailah right.

359
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: You know, we've heard Jim Rsey speak, We've heard Shane

360
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: Steikin speak. In the off season, the Colts have, you know,

361
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: made it clear that the team believes that a rookie

362
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: quarterback learns best by by simply playing. And Richardson obviously

363
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: needs the maximum amount of reps after starting just one

364
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: season at Florida right, only thirteen games in college. Minshew

365
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: agrees as well, and he has personal experience playing right away.

366
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: Right.

367
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: Remember in twenty nineteen as a rookie, Nick Foles goes

368
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: down with that collarbone injury. Minshew steps in started twelve

369
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: games his rookie season, twenty one touchdowns, ninety one points

370
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: to rating. This is Minshew last week talking about the

371
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: only way to get better playing quarterback in the NFL

372
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: is by playing quarterbacks. So here here are his thoughts

373
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: last week talking about this subject.

374
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 3: You know, the thing about like quarterback. I think, you know,

375
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: one of the only really one of the only ways

376
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: to get better is to play it, you know, So

377
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 3: getting that experience is huge, you know, going out there,

378
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: seeing looks, feeling the speed. You know, that's something you

379
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 3: really can't replicate in any other way. So it's huge.

380
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: Just getting any type of experience, any type of game snaps,

381
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: is really really important.

382
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: All right. So Minshew, he knows where he's at, He

383
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: knows the Colts drafting Anthony Richardson, and he also knows

384
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: that he is in here as of right now jj

385
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: on only a one year contract. What did you make

386
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: of Minshew saying that, yeah, he believes too that the

387
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: best way for rookies to get better is by taking

388
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: game snaps. What did you make of the veteran agreeing

389
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: with that, You know, rookies need to play.

390
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 5: I tell you signed Gardner, Minshew? Yeah, you sign it

391
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: because he's not only a good quarterback, but he's a

392
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 5: good dude. He's a guy you want in that room.

393
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: I had a chance to catch up with Cam Turner

394
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 5: about him last week, the Colts quarterbacks coach, and just

395
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 5: the confidence that Cam said. He said, you know, once

396
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 5: you get to know a gardner Mincher, You're gonna have

397
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 5: confidence in him. And I said, why is that? And

398
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 5: he was just sort of like just the presence that

399
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 5: he has the knowledge that he has. You know, guys,

400
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 5: really you want to be around him and comments like that,

401
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 5: like he gets it. He gets that he is here

402
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 5: on a one year contract and the Colts drafted a

403
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 5: quarterback with the fourth overall pick. Does that mean that

404
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 5: he is is just gonna give up and say, well, yeah, Anthony,

405
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 5: you take it. No, like he's still gonna compete, you know.

406
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 5: He said, it's kind of like being on an airplane

407
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 5: where you drop the oxygen mask and you got to

408
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 5: take care of yourself first before you help the guy

409
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 5: next to you. I really like that perspective. But he

410
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 5: gets it and he's not like when I contrast this

411
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 5: to the other experience I've had with a high drafted

412
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 5: quarterback covering that was twenty seventeen when the Bears drafted

413
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 5: Mitch Trubisky second overall and Mike Glennon in his Ota

414
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: opening press conference said, I want to say thirteen times

415
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 5: something along the lines of like this is my team,

416
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 5: like I'm the starting quarterback, something along those lines, and

417
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 5: it wasn't totally what you wanted to hear. Necessarily, this

418
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 5: is what you want to hear. You want to hear, Hey,

419
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 5: if I'm gonna play, absolutely, But also I understand that

420
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 5: the best way for Anthony Richardson to get better as

421
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 5: a quarterback is for him to play. And he lived

422
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 5: it right, and he lived it absolutely, and Richardson stillos

423
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: to earn it. This isn't Gardner Mintrew just saying getting

424
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 5: out of the way. You know, you go take snaps

425
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 5: Richardson stills to earn it. But when Richardson does earn it,

426
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 5: I don't think Gardner's gonna have any problems saying, all right,

427
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 5: rook I'll step aside and I'll support you however I

428
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 5: can right and go out there and be your best.

429
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: Lara for you, you know, OTAs And our first look

430
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: at the Colts is this week with eleven on eleven

431
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: and that's that's what we've all been waiting for since

432
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: the end of last season. With the Colts in line

433
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: to draft a rookie quarterback in the top five, how

434
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 2: much of a battle is there between Minshew and Richardson

435
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: early on for playing time. Everybody wants Anthony Richardson to

436
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: earn it. Everybody would ideally like to see him out there,

437
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: but he still has to go out there and do it.

438
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: And we know Minshew can play. How do you think

439
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: the Colts are going to handle that? In the OTA?

440
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: I think you have to reframe it. This is this

441
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: should not be approached or viewed as Gardner versus Anthony

442
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 4: in terms of a quarterback battle. This is Gardner proving

443
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: what Gardner does and Anthony proving what Anthony does. This

444
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 4: is not meant to be a head to head type

445
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 4: of scenario because they you can't You purely cannot compare

446
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: those two quarterbacks from an experience standpoint, from the physicality standpoint,

447
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 4: the skill set's they're They're just different and they're not

448
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 4: going to be called upon to do the exact same

449
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: things either. What you're looking for at this period of

450
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 4: time is for Gardner to kind of bring everyone else

451
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: up to speed with where they need to be within

452
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 4: this offense. He's coaching them up as much as anything

453
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: else and making sure that they're all on the same

454
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 4: page within this offense. And then what Anthony is trying

455
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: to do is not just get out there and prove

456
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: what he's able to do. You don't need Anthony Richardson

457
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 4: to be perfect or to dominate at this period of time.

458
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 4: What you want Anthony Richardson to do is to be

459
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: able to bounce back when a play goes wrong. If

460
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: he gets picked off, Yeah, okay, hey, you know like exactly.

461
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 4: You know, it's quick memory, you know, it's just if

462
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: flush it, move on, and be able to correct the

463
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 4: mistakes that he is inevitbly.

464
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 5: Going to make. He should make mistakes.

465
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: He's twenty one years old as of this week. He

466
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 4: is going and that's the only way he's going to learn.

467
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 4: But it's how quickly he rebounds and responds from those

468
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 4: things and then is able to perform with consistency with

469
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: the things he's being asked to do. Gardner Minshew's gonna

470
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 4: be asked to do some different things with what you're

471
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 4: asking Anthony to do. How is he able to show

472
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 4: steady improvement and ability to respond within the tasks.

473
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 5: That he has commanded.

474
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, when Shane in the off season, when Shane

475
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: Stiken talked about finding a quarterback that is, you know,

476
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: most obsessed with football and desperate to get better playing

477
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: the quarterback position, they determined that Anthony Richardson was that guy,

478
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: and from the sounds of it, that's what we're seeing.

479
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 2: That's what's transpiring so far. When you, like you said, JJ,

480
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: when you talk to Cam Turner, when you hear from

481
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 2: Richardson himself, or when you hear his teammates talk about him,

482
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: that's what they're all saying about Anthony Richardson. You want

483
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: to see the small mental mistakes and those basic reads

484
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: in practice dwindle and decrease day by day for the

485
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks. Right, so in June he should

486
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: be light years ahead of where he is now because

487
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: of eleven on eleven reps, throwing to receivers against the defense,

488
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: knowing where to go with your eyes on routes, how

489
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: to read defenses a little bit different than he did

490
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: at Florida. All those things are gonna takes some time

491
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: to get used to. Speeding up the footwork, getting used

492
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: to a five step drop instead of a three step

493
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: drop from college, that's gonna be you know, that's gonna

494
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 2: take some time to get used to. But Lara hit

495
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: it right on the head. JJ, I thought, those mental mistakes,

496
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 2: how does he respond to that? You know what kind

497
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: of body language does he have, what kind of attitude

498
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: does he have? And his coach ability towards learning from mistakes.

499
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: It sounds like he's the perfect guy to take all

500
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: of that in and still come in with a good

501
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: attitude and and a level of growth that he kind

502
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: of thrives from that that coaching that he wants that

503
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: he needs this time of year. Yeah.

504
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: I asked Cam Turner, like, how what have you learned

505
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 5: about how Anthony wants to be coached? And his response

506
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 5: is just he wants to be coached. It doesn't really

507
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 5: matter how. And I think that that's not don't take

508
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 5: that for granted among rookie quarterbacks that you want. These

509
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 5: guys want to be coached. They want to be taught.

510
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: I think Richardson comes across as a guy who understands

511
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 5: that he is kind of a blank slate and an

512
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 5: incredibly athletic blank slate who wants to just be coached

513
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 5: up knowing that with the right coaching, with his development

514
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 5: in terms of the mental side of things, his athletic

515
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 5: traits can take over and he can be one of

516
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 5: the greatest quarterbacks in the league if he develops the

517
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: right way. That is a big if there are a

518
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 5: lot of things that can happen between now and then.

519
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 5: But I think that's his mentality and that's really good

520
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 5: to have. And again, I don't know if that's the

521
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 5: case for every single young quarterback who comes into the NFL,

522
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 5: that they have that attitude. Sometimes guys are a little

523
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 5: bit stuck in their ways. Sometimes you know, I did

524
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 5: it this way in college, so I want to do

525
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 5: it this way in the pros. And that's not gonna fly.

526
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 5: I think some of that stuff is real and in

527
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 5: Richardson having this approach, I think that's a really good

528
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 5: starting point for his development.

529
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: No, it's all good stuff, really good stuff. And this

530
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: was I'm gonna play this. This was a great answer

531
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 2: we had from Dan Orlovsky a few weeks back. We

532
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: had him on the Last Word ESPN NFL Insider. Of course,

533
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: former Colts quarterback, he joined the Last Word a couple

534
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: weeks ago. This was his response on if he thinks

535
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: Richardson can play like if he hypothetically can play right

536
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 2: away in the NFL.

537
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 6: And make him prove to me that he's not capable

538
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 6: of it. I would make him show me we're gonna

539
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 6: make a mistake with this young man if we play him.

540
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 6: If and everyone always uses this phrase, is he ready?

541
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: No?

542
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 6: Of course not. I mean, it's the freaking NFL. It's hard, right,

543
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 6: But I think does he have a skill set that

544
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 6: allows him to go survive a little bit?

545
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: Early on?

546
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 6: Athleticism automatically becomes a check mark for that. I think

547
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 6: the biggest question in all of that is do you

548
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 6: truly believe that he is mentally tough enough to handle

549
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 6: the failure? Because it will happen early on, maybe it

550
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 6: only happens for a month or six weeks, he will

551
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 6: have tough moments. Is mentally tough enough to just handle that?

552
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 6: And to no one believed this is all part of

553
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 6: the growing process, the growing pains of playing that position

554
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 6: in the NFL. If you believe that, and you've got

555
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 6: the right people around him to supporting him in those

556
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 6: difficult moments, I think he plays, and I think he

557
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 6: plays right away. I wouldn't let six weeks go by

558
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 6: in the season before getting him onto the field. He's

559
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 6: got to play, and the only way to get better

560
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 6: is getting on the field and going through that. So

561
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 6: I would play him. I would know he's gonna have

562
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 6: tough moments, and I would just encourage him. We are

563
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 6: going to go through this together, and we are going

564
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 6: to rip this band aid off and we are trying

565
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 6: to go be great. Chris Ballard's quote is exactly everything

566
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 6: I went for the kid that I think I could

567
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 6: hit the Grand Slam on because I don't want to

568
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 6: see someone else get that at bad right, Okay, So, like,

569
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 6: if you're gonna hit the Grand Slam, man, you can't

570
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 6: dip your toe in the water. You jump in play

571
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 6: him right away.

572
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: There you go. It's Dan Orlovski. That was from the

573
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: last word a few weeks back. Can't dip that toe

574
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 2: in the water, man, you gotta jump right in, gotta

575
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: get into the deep end.

576
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: The dam calling from Indianapolis Motor Speedway is.

577
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: He was going two twenty and it sounded like in Connecticut.

578
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 5: Peloton ride.

579
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: That guy's a monster on the peloton by the way.

580
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you follow him. So, I don't know how

581
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: he has time and his schedule to do anything.

582
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: Oh I think he's up at like four point thirty in.

583
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 5: The morning, requires like three hours of sleep. Yeah, yeah,

584
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 5: it must be nice.

585
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: I am not one of those people. Yep, no, sir,

586
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: So again that's Dan Orlowski. That's a good chatter on

587
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: the Colts quarterback situation here in the off season. Starting

588
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: OTA's with Anthony Richardson. Of course Gardner Minshew. Also, let's

589
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 2: switch over to the defensive side of the ball, as

590
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: I said Dio and Dangbo. He spoke to the media

591
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 2: last week. He talked about he estimates he added eleven

592
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: pounds of muscle some jack in the off season and

593
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: is really confident in his ability to play all four

594
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: defensive line positions. We all know position flexibility along the

595
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: defensive line. That's something that Chris Ballard really prioritizes as

596
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: they try to figure out, you know, the best mix

597
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: and match to this year's group together. They always want

598
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: to play in waves. They was talking about playing with

599
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: eight or nine different defensive linemen to get guys in

600
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: fresh Last year, the Colts had forty four sacks, which

601
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: was just two off the franchise record forty four sacks

602
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: from twelve players, but no player reached double figures and

603
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: unique and Goackway, who led the team with nine and

604
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: a half sacks, he is no longer on the team,

605
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: So Leara, what do you expect from him next season?

606
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: What are your expectations for him going into year number three.

607
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: I think you expect him to be a difference maker.

608
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 6: You know.

609
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 4: Of course we talked a lot about this that rookie

610
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: year was a bit of a red shirt year because

611
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 4: he was coming back from the injury and still felt

612
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 4: like that he was trying to prove himself and find

613
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: more consistency last season. Now it's you know, it's no

614
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: excuses from this point on. You've got those great anchors

615
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: in the middle for you that you're able to utilize

616
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 4: and play with then and then you know you have

617
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: depth at that position too. They always like to try

618
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: to rotate guys throughout the defensive line, so you have

619
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 4: some people breathing down your neck, so to speak, you know,

620
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: getting in there, wanting to get in the rotation. And

621
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 4: I think that this will be a huge year for him,

622
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: and he's certainly capable of being that force on the

623
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 4: end that he was drafted to be.

624
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 5: Crazy how fast things move in the NFL, Dio Dango,

625
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 5: this is a big year for his future. If Dio

626
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 5: comes out and has the kind of season that I

627
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 5: think the Colts have expected him to have, he could

628
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 5: get a contract extension a year from now and he

629
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 5: could be a long term piece of his defense. The

630
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 5: Colts really liked how he finished the season. If you

631
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 5: look at him from weeks ten to eighteen, so the

632
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 5: second half of the year, he had twenty one pressures,

633
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 5: three and a half sacks, seven quarterback hits. Specifically, from

634
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 5: weeks eleven to fifteen, he had an eighteen point one

635
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 5: percent pass rush win rate. So that just means did

636
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 5: he beat the guy in front of him essentially on

637
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 5: about one on every five snaps. That was seventeenth in

638
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 5: the NFL in that stretch. That's pretty good. That's a

639
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 5: good you know, hey, he's got it in him type

640
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: soustration thing. Yeah, right, I think that. But but he's

641
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 5: going to self to compete to get the starter's reps because,

642
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 5: like I mentioned, you know, Quidy pays probably entrench to

643
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 5: that spot next to Grover Stewart. Then who's going to

644
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: be your other starting d end. Is it going to

645
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: be Samson Ebucom who you gave a a you know,

646
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 5: decent contract to in free agency, or is it going

647
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 5: to be Dio Dangbo. And obviously Dio has the flexibility

648
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 5: that he can kick inside. But your base defense is

649
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 5: going to be DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart as you're inside, guys,

650
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 5: So where does Dio fit in in that? Is he

651
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 5: going to be a heavily used rotational piece or is

652
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 5: he going to be a starter? This is going to

653
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: be an important couple of months to figure that out.

654
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, his playing time really rocketed up once Taekwon Lewis

655
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: went out of the lineup last year. To your point, JJ,

656
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: like the last nine games of the season, he was

657
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: playing about forty five to fifty percent of the snaps,

658
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: So he was getting better just by you know, the

659
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: byproduct of being out there more and participating, participating more

660
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: in the defense. Easier for me to say, uh, but yeah,

661
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: I could see Dio getting run on the outside on

662
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: first and second downs right, kind of spelling Quiddy pay

663
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: and Samson Ebcom at times, and then on third down

664
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: kicking him on on the inside if you want to

665
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: go that route. But I will say it's really hard

666
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: to take Grover Stewart off the field. He is a

667
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: deceptively good pass rusher without a doubt. The Colts are

668
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: banking on Diou to be able to provide a you know,

669
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: a bigger season and better things going into year number three,

670
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: maybe that sack total from him goes from five to

671
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: eight or nine and get in the face of quarterbacks

672
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: more often, provide more pressures and disruptions, you know, plays

673
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: that just don't show up in the box score kind

674
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: of cross the board for this defensive line. That takes

675
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: me to the next question, Well, the Colts pass rush,

676
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: is that going to be more impactful last season without

677
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: Unique and Gocway I talked about sacks JJ forty four

678
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: sacks really good number for this franchise, but did they

679
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 2: come at the most ideal times? Yeah? And how does

680
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: that play out next season?

681
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 5: So right, forty four sacks is tenth in the NFL,

682
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 5: tied for tenth, But the Colts only had two hundred

683
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 5: and forty four total pressures according to Pro Football Focus,

684
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 5: that was twenty eighth. They weren't able, but they weren't

685
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 5: able to get after the quarterback as much as you

686
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 5: might think with that sack total. But you got to

687
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 5: really dive into the context of that. The Colts only

688
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 5: had two hundred and fourteen pass rushing snaps with a

689
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 5: lead that was thirtieth in the NFL out of thirty two.

690
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: There's no doubt that plays a power in it.

691
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 5: They only had seventy pass rushing snaps with a two

692
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 5: score lead. Yeah, it was twenty seventh so usually that's

693
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: where you're gonna make your money, is all right, it's

694
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 5: a two score game. The opponent's got to pass the

695
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: ball to try to come back. Let's get after their quarterback.

696
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: They only had seventy opportunities of that.

697
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: There weren't many Mathis and Freenie moments right with that

698
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: lead in.

699
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 5: The So let me let me give you to Mathis

700
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 5: and Freenie moments. Yea in the second half while leading

701
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 5: two scores on third or fourth down. Okay, so stay

702
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 5: with me here. Those are the moments that Robert Mathison

703
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 5: and Dwight Freedy were like, we're finishing the.

704
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: Game and they're going after the ball.

705
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 4: Yep.

706
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 5: So the Colts only had ten snaps to rush the

707
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: passer in the second half while leading by two scores

708
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 5: on third or fourth down, like the most obvious passing situations.

709
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 5: Ten snaps represents one point six percent of the Colts'

710
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 5: total pass rushing snaps for the season.

711
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: They generated ten ten snaps for seventeen games.

712
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 5: Yep, they generated They generated five pressures in one sack

713
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 5: on those Wow, let me give you some context here.

714
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 5: The Philadelphia Eagles, who led the NFL with seventy sacks,

715
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 5: they had sixty of those snaps. They had fifty pressures

716
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 5: and ten sacks in those situations. I mean that right there.

717
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 5: You just it's so hard to generate consistent pressure if

718
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 5: you just aren't afforded those opportunities. Now, there were opportunities

719
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 5: where the Colts did not do that. I think about

720
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 5: that Washington game where Taylor Heineke drove the Commanders down

721
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 5: to win the game late. The Colts didn't get enough

722
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 5: pressure on him in those situations. But for the most part,

723
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 5: they just didn't have opportunities.

724
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: In second half of the Minnesota game, right right, I

725
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: know the ball's coming out quickly there.

726
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 5: From second half of the Minnesota game. Dio Tango was

727
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 5: pretty good though. Yeah he didn't have game, but they

728
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 5: just didn't have those opportunities. Even if you just double

729
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 5: those chances, like I think you're talking about a couple

730
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 5: more sacks here and there, more pressures. You're talking about

731
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 5: more impactful pressures and sacks that really help you close

732
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 5: out a game in a way that the Colts just

733
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 5: didn't have a ton of opportunities for that this year.

734
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: That's the thing. I think that's the key word impactful,

735
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: right that the two guys up front, and I think

736
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: you're exactly right, Layer those guys are solid as as

737
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: they come with Buckner and Stewart, and the Colts are

738
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: hoping for more defensive end production or impact because you're

739
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 2: still seeing DeForest Buckner be double teamed at a very

740
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: high rate the last two years. I mean, we thought

741
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: Unique and Gocway would take some of that down. I

742
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: don't know to what extent had happened, but Buckner was

743
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: still seeing a lot of double teams according to him

744
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: at the end of the season. So the Colts are

745
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: hoping for more big years from pay and Ebicom and

746
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: a dang Bo when he's on the outside. I think

747
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: Ebacom can have more of an overall impact on defense

748
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 2: than in Gagway last season. He had about a fifteen

749
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: percent pressure rate last season, which was seventh best in

750
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: the NFL for a player with at least three hundred snaps.

751
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: So he's good. He's I think he has more impact

752
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: across the board. Plus I think he's pretty good against

753
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 2: the run on the edge. So I think there's hope

754
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: that in a year two under Gus Bradley everybody healthy,

755
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: that this pass rush could be even better or again

756
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: at least more impactful underline that word. Maybe not as

757
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: many sacks, but I think they might be more impactful,

758
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: Larry generating more turnovers and more takeaways in impacting the

759
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 2: game in a positive way for the offense.

760
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 4: Well, it's worth noting and easy to forget how much

761
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 4: of last season DeForrest Buckner was playing hurt too, with

762
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 4: you know, a variety of different things that were impacting him.

763
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: He never complained about it, but there were things that

764
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 4: were on the injury report and different things that you

765
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 4: would see with you know, the braces on and different

766
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 4: reinforcements and a number of different things. So that's that

767
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 4: is another issue that I think people kind of write

768
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 4: off because he was still so productive and so reliable

769
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 4: in that role, And I do think that that's something

770
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 4: worth noting that was kind of easy to just overlook

771
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 4: last season at a lot of points. But yeah, you

772
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 4: you certainly expect that this is a group that has

773
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 4: much higher expectations going into this season with the impact

774
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 4: that they are able to have and putting themselves in

775
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 4: opportunities to, you know, be more destructive for the opponent.

776
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, all right, that's the pass rush dio dang

777
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,399

847
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,319

848
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 5: Matt grew up in California. I grew up in Indiana.

849
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 4: We have not found any sort of familial relation or

00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 4: genetic connection ancestor dot com.

851
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: We haven't. We haven't.

852
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 4: But but even better, we are just we are family

853
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 4: by choice. So you know, Matt and his wife Free

854
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 4: were at my wedding and everything, and so they are incredible,

855
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 4: incredible friends. So it is that is what it is

856
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 4: for me is I'm going to rock that forever because

857
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 4: it is my name and I can represent that. It

858
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 4: also brings me to my husband was at the race

859
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 4: in two thousand and nine, to JJ's point, and he

860
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 4: has on like I think he wore an Antonio Davis

861
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 4: Pacers jersey from what season I don't exactly know, but

862
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 4: he found Damon Bailey and Reggie Miller in the same

863
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 4: season jersey. So they have a shot of all of them.

864
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah with.

865
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 5: The white drop shadow. That's incredible.

866
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm show making. Yeah no, these aren't, Yeah they are.

867
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: Those are Yeah.

868
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: So they all came across each other randomly, so we

869
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 4: took a bit. So yeah, So to your point, this

870
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 4: is an opportunity for community to bond with fellow jersey

871
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 4: wearers at the greatest spectacle in racing.

872
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, those are the flow Joe's. No that that's

873
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 2: the first jersey I ever owned as a kid.

874
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 4: No, the Flow Jos have the No, the flow Jos

875
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 4: have the yellow.

876
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 5: They see these don't have.

877
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: The yellow down that's the Flow Joe right there.

878
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 5: I don't think these have the yellow down the side.

879
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 2: Oh, let me see it again.

880
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 4: Those are just all blue. The Flow Jos had the

881
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 4: yellow and white house.

882
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't. I didn't see that part of it.

883
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: The pacer Flow Joe uniforms just playing from early Okay, yeah,

884
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: so from the early nineties. That was the first jersey,

885
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: the ninety six.

886
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 4: These are the ninety six jerseys. Yes, so my husband

887
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 4: possesses an Antonio Davis jersey and proudly wearing that would

888
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 4: probably have to be.

889
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 2: It for me, like like a Flow Joe Rick Smith's

890
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: jersey or something. I don't have a lot of jerseys.

891
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: I have a Cincinnati Red's jersey JJ, but it's nameless

892
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 2: on the back on purpose because I don't want to

893
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: be the jersey guy. I kind of agree with Matt Wilkining.

894
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, but like this is a no judgment zone. Okay,

895
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 5: say you got that Red's jersey. Who's who?

896
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: What's the name red jersey. Probably Barry Larkin. He was

897
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: my favorite player growing up.

898
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,479
Speaker 5: So go obscure with like Pokey Reese.

899
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 2: No, no, I would probably go probably go Berry Larkin

900
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 2: as a Red or like David Weathers. David throwing a right. Yeah,

901
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: he was throwing up meatballs there towards the end, some

902
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 2: watermelon batting practice back in the.

903
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 5: Nineteen ninety nine Rookie of the Year, Scott Williamson.

904
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: Or Daniel Ray Herrera in his gas can coming in

905
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: William o'pana. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, early two thousands,

906
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 2: not not too many Cincinnati Reds jerseys, but probably if

907
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: I had to rep one, it would be very large. Okay,

908
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 2: how about you?

909
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 5: So get so mine would probably be like So, we

910
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 5: were in this discussion at launch yesterday about like baseball jerseys,

911
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 5: and I was like, I don't love baseball jerseys. But

912
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 5: Chris Albright, our director of graphic design, brought up a

913
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 5: good point. He's like, they're just a button up like

914
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 5: you can you can kind of button it like you know.

915
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 5: So I was like, okay, fine, I'll take a White

916
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 5: Sox Mark Burley jersey. It's my favorite player of all time.

917
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 5: That would be an easy one for me, but I

918
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 5: don't have one of those for the race this year,

919
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 5: so I need, I need, I need to decide. I'm

920
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 5: between the Kareem Rush Massoo basketball jersey or I have

921
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 5: you guys are gonna think this is stupid, but I

922
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 5: have a Manchester City jersey from the first year they

923
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 5: won the Premier League title with like the gold patch

924
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 5: for them winning it with Sergio Aguero's name on the back.

925
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 5: He scored the game winning goal in the most.

926
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: So there are two more polar opposites international soccer.

927
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 5: But there are a bunch of parts running in the Indian.

928
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 3: You're not with them.

929
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 5: I'm not true, I'm not so I should probably do

930
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: the basketball jersey, do you, man?

931
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 4: I just soccer jersey has sleeves, though, right, you're gonna

932
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 4: get a horrendous handline shade.

933
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 2: For the most part, that walking gets like legit piss

934
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,600

1008
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 2: likely will be.

1009
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 4: So one thing I will say is I really enjoy

1010
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 4: Don't get me started on the blackout, but you know,

1011
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 4: uh the TV blackout right? No, not that, No, No,

1012
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 4: that will that will not be on the weekend agenda. No,

1013
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 4: but like the TV blackout, that's for a whole other

1014
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 4: conversation elsewhere. But what I will say is I think

1015
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 4: it is because of Matt what we do working in

1016
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 4: live event radio production. There is one, I mean nothing

1017
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 4: I admire more than the audio acrobatics that they execute

1018
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 4: on the radio network and how they just seamlessly navigate

1019
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 4: from all of the different positions of the different guys,

1020
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 4: and how well they tell the story and describe what

1021
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 4: is going on. So I kind of prefer to like

1022
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 4: beat the pool and have it on the radio and

1023
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 4: be able to like jump in and listen and you know,

1024
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 4: pay attention and follow it that way.

1025
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the excitement of the last twenty twenty five laps

1026
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 2: on radio of the Indianapolis five hundred.

1027
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 5: It's pretty undemassed rwish phenomenal.

1028
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 2: Yes, they just are absolutely all right, JJ Larra, I'm
