1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: If you want Colts talk all year long, you're in

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: the right place. Caught over the metal. Michael Pittman Junior.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: There we go. He's at the forty. He's at the

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: thirty slips of a tackle. Twenty ten five touch down.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior takes it seventy five yards to the house.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Big one angling left, forty, he's at the thirty. Now

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: then here's Onundlin.

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Twenty fifty kid five touchdown, Jonathan Taylor take forty.

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Nine yard galloped top paydirt in the Indiana Union Construction

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Industry Radio studio. Let's get the podcast started.

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Official Colts Podcast. While we wait for

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 3: Miss Lera Overton to finally take that last polis in

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: Jata Raide, we are out at Grand Park JJ.

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 4: Stan's davy. We were cranking out the intensity. We were

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 4: going at it.

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: Great practice today, the first one in pads, but just

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: off the football field for a second. JJ, talk to

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 3: me about this Grand Park, the way the Colts have

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: it set up, the fans, the experience, everything so far,

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: it's great.

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is one of the best training camp

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: sites in the NFL, if not the best, just for

23
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: the fan interaction, the fan experience. You know, we have

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior later on this podcast, and he took

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: some time signing autographs every single kid, you know, down

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: the road just right over here. You really get to

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: get up close and personal with the players, and it

28
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: was cool. I was just down watching practice at one

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: point when guys are warming up, and I could hear

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: this one kid go, it's Jonathan Taylor. Look twenty eight.

31
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: It's Jonathan Taylor, like sprinting down the stands. It's such

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: a cool setup up here. If you haven't made it

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: up here, make a trip. It's well worth the drive

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: up here to Westfield. Catch a practice, right, catch a football.

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: It's great up here. Easy.

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: Psy in Laura, how's your camp going. You know a

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: thing or two about these training camps. I know you're

38
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: a little sweaty right now and he's humid out here,

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: but so far, so good.

40
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: It's been great. I mean really every day and this

41
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: has been fun. Like Shane's been very intentional with how

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: they have ramped things up. You know, practices went from

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: sixty minutes to an hour fifteen and then they did

44
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: a ninety minute practice, then put the pads on and

45
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: so it's been you know, Monday was their first off

46
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 4: day of camp. So this is where you're gonna start

47
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: to see things, you know, pick up quite a bit

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: in terms of those position battles. And I think one

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: of the things for me that's been the biggest highlights

50
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 4: of camp has just been to see Anthony richardson stack

51
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: consistent days, you know, one right after another, and that's

52
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 4: really what you hoped to see from your second year quarterback.

53
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean when we're talking about Anthony, you know,

54
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: the individual plays, you know, you can chart him, you

55
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: can say, oh, he went six or seven or whatever

56
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: it might be. The real thing is the whole scope

57
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: of all of camp. You know, you're working on stuff.

58
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: You're working on plays. You're figuring out does this play work?

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Does this play not work? Are we gonna throw that

60
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: play out? Are we gonna add something to it, We're

61
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: gonna tag another route on it. You're figuring a lot

62
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: of this stuff out. And I mean absolutely there's been

63
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: nothing that Anthony has done that has dissuaded me from

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: feeling like he he's on the ascent the way that

65
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: the Colts believe he should be.

66
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: First time in pads for this football team. So we

67
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: did see some action of the Ones versus the ones,

68
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: offense versus defense. Just stick to him throwing the football

69
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: right now with all the pads on. What do you

70
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: guys think as he looking?

71
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, just you know, the arm strength is there.

72
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: You can see the pocket mobility. You know that that

73
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: shows up on a day like this where it is

74
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: fully padded. You are seeing, you know, like a real

75
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: pass rush on him. Just those little slides left to

76
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: right that he's got. Those are so valuable in it

77
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: for any NFL quarterback. But it's not something that every

78
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: quarterback has. And we've talked about this so much with Anthony,

79
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: but it's just a good refresher seeing it out here

80
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: that he is not a one to two to run.

81
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: You know, if that second read isn't open, he's not

82
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: looking to run the way that some quarterbacks kind of

83
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: get bucketed into doing. He's a guy it's one to two,

84
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: keep his eyes down field. He might go to that

85
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: third progression, he might escape the pocket. It becomes a

86
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: scrambled drill. And we're gonna get into this guy later

87
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: in the pod. But like my goodness, his connection with

88
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: Josh Downs has been like it's been incredible to watch

89
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: that so far during training camp, just five practices in,

90
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: but it's it's been really really impressive.

91
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: One of the things for me that's been impressive is

92
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: just the effortlessness with which the ball comes out of

93
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: his hands on some of those deep balls that we

94
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: have seen, and it's just it's so crisp. I mean,

95
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: it is a flick of the wrist and that ball

96
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: just flies. And I was standing around kind of watching

97
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: with some of the crew from NFL Network that was

98
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 4: here back together weekend, and they have seen so much

99
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: less of Anthony than we have, really right where we

100
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 4: get a little bit spoiled in seeing it day in

101
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 4: and day out. And that's what a lot of those

102
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: guys we're talking about, like how impressive. And these are

103
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: guys who've been bouncing around in camps all across the NFL,

104
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: and they're like, oh my god, you know, like just

105
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 4: to see how effortless it looks, but the force with

106
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: which it comes out of the hand. So that's something

107
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: too that I don't know that we had necessarily enough

108
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 4: time to see when we saw him last year, but

109
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 4: that is something that I think is really encouraging to

110
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: see his you know, his comfort, his strength. Right now,

111
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: all of those things really coming together to the benefit

112
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: of all that work, not really even just that they

113
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 4: did when they were together for ots and mini camp,

114
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 4: but I think that that's a tribute to the work

115
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: that he did going back and forth from Florida during

116
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: the week Indianapolis on the weekends, and then getting together

117
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: with you guys in various locations. Pitt told me the

118
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 4: other day they went to Oregon and they were working

119
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: out there together. There was a big group of guys

120
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: that we saw which California together, And that's really what

121
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: you're seeing so far in the early part of practice.

122
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: Is that type of work coming to fruition.

123
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, I said, we're gonna come back to Anthony,

124
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: but I want to stay right here if we can

125
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: just just ride this train out. How does JJ with you?

126
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: First?

127
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: How does twenty eight make five a better player? And

128
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: how does five make twenty eight a better player? Because

129
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: my thing from camp is we talk a lot about

130
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: the weapons on offense, but boy o boy Jonathan Taylor,

131
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: it just seems doesn't get that sort of we're talking

132
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: about arm strength and who's going to catch the ball

133
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: and everything. Monster year coming from twenty eight.

134
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean if you caught it in Chris Ballard's

135
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: press conference last week or he got asked about that,

136
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: and he was kind of like, Jonathan Taylor's gonna have

137
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: a big year like that. The expectation around here is

138
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: that you're going to see an explosive year from Jonathan Taylor.

139
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: And that's what this offense needs to find explosiveness, right,

140
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: that was kind of the issue last year there. They

141
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: were great in scoring points, they were efficient, but there

142
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: wasn't the kind of explosiveness that you need to be

143
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: a top tier offense in the NFL. It was a

144
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: very good offense, but it maybe wasn't, you know, tenth

145
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: in points but bottom ten and.

146
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: Right now, but that comes from that's not necessarily the

147
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 4: skill set of Gardner Minshew.

148
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: So the offense, and that's.

149
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: Right.

150
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: The two guys back there, the quarterback and running back,

151
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: were very efficient players and Mosson Minshew, but they maybe

152
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: weren't explosive. And that's okay. That's who they are in

153
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, and that'll earn them a lot of money

154
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: in a lot of time in this league. Is good players.

155
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Richardson and Taylor are they're explosive, and those two guys

156
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I have to keep thinking, you have to keep thinking

157
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: about it this way. The Colts made what one big

158
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: addition on offense in Ady Mitchell. I guess you could

159
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: say this offseason the biggest and Jim Rsay brought this

160
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: up during his prest The biggest additions the Colts made

161
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: this offseason are swapping out Minshew and Moss for Taylor

162
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: and Richardson on a consistent basis. That's what you're expecting

163
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: you do that. I think to go back to your

164
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: question Jeffrey about how it helps both players out in

165
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: the red zone. Those two guys are such a weapon

166
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: that if you're a linebacker a safety and you have

167
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: to now account for both of those guys, you're a

168
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: d end and you've got to account for Richardson pulling

169
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: it in addition to handing it off. It can just

170
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: put a defense in a blender in a way that

171
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: the offense was not able to get to last year.

172
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: Another guy that when you're kind of talking about maybe

173
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: the depth of this offense and that you know, especially

174
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: the red zone threat who has been out here and

175
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: you've seen him making some consistent place Jelanni Woods another

176
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: one of those guys who I think is in that

177
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: conversation when you talk about kind of off season additions,

178
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: you kind of lump him into that group because you

179
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: missed him all last year. You had no idea that

180
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: Jelanni Woods that was going to get out here in

181
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: July right when we reported a trainee camp. So so

182
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: far there have been some from him, and we're excited

183
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: to see what you know, that duo or I guess trio,

184
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: even when you kind of take everything into account, can be.

185
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a just real one more thing on the

186
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: offense is the fact that we're just not talking about

187
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line right is great. I think that is

188
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: such a testament because remember when we were we were

189
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: here last year and it's like it's the same five.

190
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're kind of giving the hard sell

191
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: on it being the same five with Tony Sprono Junior

192
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: as the coach, and now this year it's not really

193
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: much of a topic good discussion. You look out there,

194
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: you go, Hey, Bernard Ryman's having a good camp, Quentin

195
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: Nelson's having a good camp. I thought, Blake Freelan's done

196
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: some good stuff at right tackle well.

197
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to say. That is the

198
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 4: one thing to talk about is that Brayden Smith got

199
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: back upon.

200
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: Smith was back out there during full team for a

201
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: period today. So that's good as the colt to kind

202
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: of ramp him up. The offensive line is just it's

203
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: there and it's good, and you feel really good about

204
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: where that group is going into twenty twenty four.

205
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: Well, we'll stay on the offensive side of the ball

206
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: for a second. I got a crazy question for you

207
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: when you look at the weapons in there, led by

208
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: Shane Styke and Anthony Richardson, obviously Jonathan Taylor, a bevy

209
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 3: of receivers. You mentioned a d Mitchell guys flat out question.

210
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: Everybody happy in this offense? I mean at the end

211
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: of seventeen games and stuff, and I mean that, you know,

212
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: I mean that possible likely.

213
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: But is everybody getting in the mixing JT?

214
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 3: Is JT getting enough people, say fifteen hundred yards or

215
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: more this year? Ad Mitchell?

216
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: What's he going to do?

217
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 3: Because everywhere he's gone, he's just produced. Alec Pierce is

218
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: a guy. You know what I'm saying, JJ.

219
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: As long as they're winning, I mean, as long as

220
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: this is a team that's at double digit wins and you're,

221
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: you know, going in the postseason. I don't think anybody's

222
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: complaining about what their contribution is because it's going to

223
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: be this sliding scale of one guy's going to have

224
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: a big week and then the next week it's going

225
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: to be another guy. And that's what I think is

226
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 4: going to be a real threat is that you can

227
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: spread it around. I mean, and it doesn't have to

228
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: be the same one to two guys week one that

229
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: it is in Week seventeen. I think you're going to

230
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 4: see different guys strike based on different matchups that Jim

231
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: Bob Cooter and Shane Steikin are gonna be able to exploit.

232
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I also think that that heightens the competitiveness in this

233
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: where Okay, yeah, like Michael Pittman Junior is not competing

234
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: to start at wide receiver, but okay, you're competing with

235
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor for touches, you're competing with Josh Downs targets,

236
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: you're competing with the you know, the the tight ends

237
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: for receptor. Okay, that's going to raise your level of

238
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: play by saying, hey, I want I still think I

239
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: should be a one hundred catch guy in this offense,

240
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: Josh Downs a guy who no one's challenging him to

241
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: start in the slot because he's that he's so good.

242
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: But okay, if you want to get the ball, you

243
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: got to keep getting open. Okay, and oh sorry, But

244
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: just that that level of competitiveness, I don't think it's

245
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: a problem. I think that when when you talk about like, oh,

246
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: is everyone going to be happy in this offense, Tillari's point,

247
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: if you're winning, everyone's happy. And I think it also

248
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: starts too with the leaders in that room being Jonathan Taylor,

249
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, those guys who are are very much team

250
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: guys who are just hey, if we're winning and I

251
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: get ten carries for fifty yards or I get three

252
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: catches for forty yards, but we won the game, fine

253
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: by me.

254
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 4: I'll also say a couple of things to piggyback on

255
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 4: that is, now that pitt and JT have those second contracts,

256
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 4: that's another thing that you're not you're not trying to

257
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: earn that you don't have to prove that they you know,

258
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: and it's not all about the money for them. But

259
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: when you are in a contract year, it makes that

260
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a contentious issue in terms

261
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: of catches and carries and all of those things. And

262
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 4: I talked to Pitt for a while after Saturday's practice

263
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: and was it Saturday? Do we ad here Saturday? We were, yeah,

264
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: Saturdays the days on another after Saturday's practice and he

265
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: was saying, you know, if JT stays healthy, he's going

266
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 4: to go for two thousand yards, he's gonna have another

267
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 4: two thousand yard season, you know from scrimmage. And he said,

268
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 4: you have to game plan for him. That's one of

269
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: the advantages is that he commands so much attention and

270
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: he's like, I can't wait to see this our po game,

271
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: he said, I mean, I hope there's a little bit

272
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 4: more p than there is. Oh, but exactly, he said,

273
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 4: as long as we're winning games, that's what it's all about.

274
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: And that just seems like that has been the mentality

275
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 4: that has spread across this group, across this team from

276
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 4: top down, and that all comes from just that consistent

277
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: message that Shane Stykeen is reiterating going back to last year.

278
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: Whatever it takes, it's about the team finding ways to

279
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: get it done well.

280
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Takeaways. We love to talk about it.

281
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 4: I feel like a conductor I feel like I'm very.

282
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: Well fly out here too. That's bothering us a little bit.

283
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: So we're also conducting with you. But when we talk about,

284
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: you know, what we're seeing out here at practice, and

285
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: then we flipped the defensive side of the ball, JJ,

286
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: I want to start with you. Reports are out there

287
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: Samson Ebcom, ed rusher for the Colts, suffered an injury.

288
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: What effect does that have in that room right there?

289
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: And and as far as like the other guys are

290
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: out there, is there new faces possibly that the Colts

291
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: are looking to fill or is he right here on

292
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: this roster?

293
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: So just just to get the news out there, Shane

294
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Stikeen did confirm today Samson Ebcom sustained a torn achilles

295
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: during practice on Sunday. Shane did not say he's out

296
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: for the season now, whether that is he just he

297
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: didn't say it, or there is a shot that Samson

298
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: can come back. I don't know that reports were that

299
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: is a season ending injury that that's out there from

300
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. Having said that the Colts are deep at

301
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: that spot, that this is.

302
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: The same to replace nine and a half sacks, It.

303
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: Is tough to replace that. But and and I don't

304
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: want this to sound like I'm glossing over it. Sure,

305
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: because he's a really good player and on like a

306
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: down to down basis, like he Samson Upcom was not

307
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: just a like you put him in on third down

308
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get you nine and a half sacks.

309
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: He was. He defended the run really well last year.

310
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: You look at some of you know, just that that

311
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: play to play basis, He's a really consistent, really good player.

312
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: Replacing good players is hard. It is not as hard

313
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: when you have Taekwon Lewis and Layoutu Latu out there

314
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: to replace him.

315
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: And Taekwon I thought has shown big flashes in the

316
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: early part of camp. I mean he had a really

317
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 4: nice play that I saw earlier today. There have been

318
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: a few different times when I'm.

319
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: Like, okay, Taekwon. Last year, if you look at his

320
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: his just like his numbers and his pass rushing productivity,

321
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: he was the most productive pass rusher on the Colts

322
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: on a persona at basis in terms of getting pressures,

323
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback, even though he was a rotational guy.

324
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: So we know what Taekwon can do. Can we talk

325
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: about the practice lad today we're talking about Okay, he

326
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: had a good start to camp. First four practices, we've

327
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: seen some good things. And then it's okay, what does

328
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: he do when the pads come on? When the pads

329
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: came on? Holy God did.

330
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: Watching quarterbacks at that point? So I missed it all.

331
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: The way that he uses his hands.

332
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: That's a remarkable it is, That's what it is.

333
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: It is like, I mean, so that those one on

334
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: one reps did come against something. Maybe that's why naturally

335
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: doing it.

336
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: Yes, working it.

337
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: I really zeroed in d line coach had give us

338
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: some commentaries. I really zeroed in on when it was

339
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: full team and they had a lot too out there

340
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: against Bernard Ryman, and Bernie got him a couple of times.

341
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: Bernard Ryman's a really good left tackle in the NFL.

342
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: But at the end of practice, a lot two had

343
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: one rep where he got in the backfill. He went

344
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: at a sack against Ryman, and it was like, what

345
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: was the move? I couldn't. I'd give you some BS

346
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: jargon that I'm half making up, but you could just

347
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: see that, Okay, hey, you got stopped a couple of times.

348
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: He still goes. He still goes, and he's gonna figure

349
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: it out going against Bernard Ryman. That is a good

350
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: NFL left tackle to learn against. And just also the

351
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: motor that lat two has. There was one play where

352
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: he was on the back side of it and Richardson

353
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: was rolling out to his right and Lat two's over Ryman,

354
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm left and he chases him the whole way across

355
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: the field and it is hot. It is, you know,

356
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: middle of practice. I'm sure guys are getting a little

357
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: gassed out there. And you saw no letdown in out

358
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: from lat to These are all things we saw on

359
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: tape at UCLA. The day he had today I thought

360
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: was so impressive, especially in light of the circumstances of

361
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: losing Samson Ebiccom and saying, all right, hey, rook you're up.

362
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: You're getting your first first team reps and you're getting

363
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: out there in the pads for the first to stay there.

364
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: Like we talked about, is it more pressure on Lattu

365
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: with a veteran like that going down. I don't know

366
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: that Samson Ebcom was a big vocal leader. But these

367
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: rookies and these young guys that come in here and

368
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: watch a veteran just they watch them across the room

369
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: like that's a good leadership skill to have, and I

370
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: think that's what Sepsen brought to the locker room. But

371
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: is there more pressure on lat too. I mean, he's

372
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: got a heap of pressure on him as it is.

373
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: I think that there's a lot of pressure on a

374
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 4: first round pick, no matter what I mean, you know,

375
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: that's just that's part of what goes along with it.

376
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: I do think that he has insulated himself in such

377
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 4: a good group that Coach Partridge puts so much responsibility

378
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: on every single guy in that group that there's you know,

379
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 4: they're not highlighting it or spotlighting it. I think that

380
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: maybe you're gonna feel it at certain points, right Like

381
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: he was super overwhelmed when it came out here for

382
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: the first day writing saw that, and you know, maybe

383
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: that first joint practice he's going to kind of feel

384
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 4: a little bit, and that first preseason game. I don't

385
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 4: think he's going to feel that looming all the time,

386
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 4: and that's going to be something that is on his

387
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: shoulders day in and day out. I think that he

388
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 4: has just such great perspective coming into this, and I

389
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: think that he's also so focused on learning from the guys,

390
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: and he has talked about that wanting to just replicate

391
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: what you know, look at what DeForest Buckner does and

392
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: be like, how do you do this? Looking at Quitty Pay,

393
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: looking at all of the guys, looking at growth, and

394
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 4: so I think he's so consumed by all of that

395
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: that he doesn't have maybe the time or the effort

396
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 4: to expend on Oh this is what people expect of me.

397
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he strikes me as a guy who doesn't really

398
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: care about any of that because he's been counted out

399
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: so much in his career that why, you know, why

400
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: would you care about that stuff.

401
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 4: Here's something too that I learned about Coach Partridge that

402
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 4: a few different people have told me is that he

403
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 4: focuses so much on doing every single detail correctly, Like

404
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: he is absolutely like obsessed with the details and like

405
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: will not let anything slide. So I also think that

406
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: that accountability of Coach Partridge and how he is instilling

407
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: that in the guys is going to allow him to

408
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: be so focused on the details that the big things

409
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: take care of themselves, right, The results are going to

410
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 4: be there because Coach Partridge is reiterating and coaching and

411
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: you know, mentoring this group in such a way that

412
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 4: he's like focus on you know, focus on A, B

413
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 4: and C, and then the words and the sentences are

414
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: what you know, are the results of that.

415
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: Right, the results are also going to be there from

416
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: law to you know, because the details that he's being

417
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: coached into are translating into you know, it's one thing

418
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: to say you have great hands in college, and we're

419
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: seeing it now, like the way he gets No one

420
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: said that about me. These things are bricks, can't catch anything.

421
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you put me on a jugs machine and

422
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: you put that thing at sixty miles and now I'm

423
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: dropping like all of them. We can do that for

424
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: a camp. We could do that. We could do that.

425
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah you want to see it? I do, Yeah, you're

426
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna I mean, I do need these to type.

427
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: Roberto this a former boxer. He's known his hands a stone.

428
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: Monoste piedro hands is stime.

429
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: Now.

430
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: The way that he uses his hands though it's so developed,

431
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: and but it's one thing to do it against college

432
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: tackles that U c l A. And what we're seeing

433
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: is like it's it's already translating. And I think all

434
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: those those little details that allow him to play fast

435
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: that you're talking about, you know, Charlie Partridge coaching up.

436
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing him not playing with a lot

437
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: of like thinking, you know, a whole lot. You're seeing

438
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: him play fast. And something Jeff Bradley talked about is

439
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: that you know when you hit this heavy install phase

440
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: of camp and you're getting all this stuff thrown at

441
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: you and it's all new because this first time in

442
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, and all of a sudden you get out there,

443
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: he said. Gus said, sometimes you see rookies not play

444
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: with the sort of effort or intensity that you want

445
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: to see.

446
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 4: There's no shortage of that ninety seven absolutely, and there's

447
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 4: no shortage of impact plays we've seen him make so far.

448
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: All right, uh JJ, last thing on LATCHO for you

449
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: with a rookie of that at fifteen overall, you know

450
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 3: they're gonna see the field, is what I'm saying. And

451
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 3: what this guy does as a sack master, and you

452
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: guys know his career better than others. With this injury

453
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: to abucom, does it change that he possibly slides into

454
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: a first down thing if Charlie PARTRIDGS and Gus Bradley

455
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 3: have him, Hey, he's our third down guy. Only now

456
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: we got a little bit of a depth issue now.

457
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: Now this kid's gonna be getting more playing time.

458
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: I think Taekwon Lewis probably is your go to early

459
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: down guy, at least right now, as we're sitting here

460
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: on July thirtieth, you're probably expecting Taekwon to be out

461
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: there at defensive end opposite Quitty Pay on early downs.

462
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: You could rotate Dio Dangbo in there. Certainly Dio's dealing

463
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: with a calf right now, he's not out there. But

464
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: I think Taekwon's probably the guy you're looking at there.

465
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: And then Lot two, starting off as a you're coming

466
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: in on passing serns. Having said that, if Lot two

467
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: can show that he can convert pass to run, you know,

468
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: you're out there and you got your ears pinned back

469
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it's a run. Can you

470
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: convert to that? Can can teams run the ball at

471
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: you and you hold your own? That's gonna be a

472
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: big thing for a lot to to prove out here.

473
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: I think those joint practices are going to be big

474
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: for that. And if he can prove that, then you

475
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: could start seeing him getting some more early down work

476
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: during the season.

477
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: I obviously here at the Arizona Cardinals. But man, look

478
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: at that joint practice against Cincinnati. You think about how

479
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 4: good of a test that is right there where you

480
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: have Joe Burrow, you have Zach Moss there now.

481
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

482
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that they're that whole offensive line which is

483
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: really strong.

484
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: That's kind of an interesting that offensive line. Ye, that's

485
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: a really good point. That Bengals offensive is, on a

486
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: per player basis the heaviest in the NFL.

487
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 4: Uh.

488
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: They put Hey, they put some money out for that.

489
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: Put some money off for some big dudes on that

490
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: offensive line. That's gonna be a good time.

491
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 4: Teddy Carris among them.

492
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, good, that's good.

493
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: Right, there was a good pull. All right, we got

494
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 3: camp standouts. I want to talk Michael Pittman junior is

495
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: coming up. JJ had a chance to sit down with

496
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: him just minutes ago, and you're not gonna want to

497
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: miss that with the veteran riv receiver. But let me

498
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: start with you camp standouts. I know it's early and everything,

499
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: but we've talked about some people that are shining. Obviously

500
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: the number one pick for the coach a lot too,

501
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 3: but who's stood out so far?

502
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: To you, there's no question it's Josh Downs. Yeah, the

503
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: camp he's having so far is making you think this

504
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: guy the stuff we heard about him, and like, Okay,

505
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: we really like Downs. We think he's in for a

506
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: big year. Now we're seeing it out here. You can

507
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: tell the rapport he has with Anthony Richardson has developed

508
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: so well even without them getting all those reps last

509
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: year during the regular season, that you know, Josh was

510
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: talking about this over the weekend, that he and Anthony

511
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: kind of are starting to get that sort of unspoken

512
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: communication of hey, okay, you see that. Yeah, I'm seeing

513
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: that too. Don't have to say anything. You're on a

514
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: choice route based on the coverage you're getting, and there's

515
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: Downs wide open. The thing that I'm seeing out of

516
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: Downs a lot more than I expected is the downfield stuff.

517
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: He's getting the ball down the field and he's catching it.

518
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: He's making plays.

519
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 2: Go.

520
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 4: I tell you something that reminds me of when you

521
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: have that tandem of draft classmates like you do a

522
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: quarterback and receiver with Anthony and Josh. It is a

523
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 4: little luck Hilton Nest.

524
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: We had Chris Baller kind of make a little t

525
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: y comparison to Josh Downs last year when he had

526
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: him on the pod, right.

527
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 4: So that's that is there for me, a couple of

528
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 4: camp standouts. I'm gonna throw some things around. Welcome back

529
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: to Julian Blackman. My goodness, how good of an off season?

530
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: You know?

531
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 4: Re signing? Was that like the day that he had

532
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 4: on Sunday?

533
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: Sunday? So you saw that clip that we put out

534
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: right on on social of his interception. So Shane Steichen goes, yeah,

535
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm back there and I'm looking at that plane. I'm going, oh,

536
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: we got one for the offense. My eyes went right

537
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: to where Anthony's eye went. And then all of a sudden,

538
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: here comes Julian out of nowhere into the hook and

539
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: he picks that off.

540
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 4: Unreal and that thing he had a PBu later next practice. Yeah,

541
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 4: from the rookie standpoint, I thought Jalen Simpson has has

542
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 4: been really strong in a number of areas that I

543
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 4: saw him. And then the other guy who has like

544
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 4: been to me like silent assess.

545
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: And on offense, this is what were you going, Oh,

546
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to guy.

547
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: Well, Jac Carls I've said that, yes, Jac Carlis, Jalen

548
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 4: Sims and Jacy Carlis. I love I truly I love

549
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 4: this rookie draft class defensively, not that I don't like

550
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 4: it offensively, but I think we've talked a lot about that. Yeah,

551
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: but collectively, my goodness, Like you have playmakers, I was

552
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 4: gonna say, offensively, a guy who I have been really

553
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 4: impressed with so far. And I feel like that this

554
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 4: is a quieter conversation, but there's a lot of talk

555
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 4: about the backup running backspot and you have seen some

556
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: real good stuff from Tray Sermon. I just it and

557
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 4: it's been pretty consistent. And what I like about Trey

558
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 4: is that there have been plays where they'll run something

559
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 4: stop and then he'll run. They'll go right back to

560
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 4: the run and he'll bust it open, you know, And

561
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 4: there have been, you know, these big chunk plays that

562
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: he's been able to crue. That's a guy that I

563
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 4: think people are probably like overlooking and he could be

564
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 4: having one of the like surprisingly more quiet it's kind

565
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 4: of more maybe more like overlooked, under the radar, but

566
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 4: who has an opportunity to be a critical piece within

567
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 4: this offense. When you're starting to talk about preseason games

568
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 4: week one, all.

569
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: Of that, Yeah, you wanted to see someone emerge from.

570
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: That spot, and I think he really has. I think

571
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: he's really solidified.

572
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to talk about Jail and Carlis. I mean,

573
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: look he is huge. Yeah, oh run oh Donnie Harrison too.

574
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: That's another guy who's been like I don't.

575
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 4: Know, I'm so excited you're telling I'm so happy that

576
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: practice is Carlis.

577
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: Did you see did you see the screen he blew

578
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: up today where like the way that he the ball.

579
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: See that's why I wanted to for you because you've

580
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: been talking about him. But it's like, oh, here's this

581
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: missoo guy talking about the Mazoo guy. No, I have been.

582
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: It's but there's like seriously, like I know it sounds

583
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 4: like I'm being a homer here, but like truly, like

584
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 4: all of them have had days where it's been like

585
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: you can't you can't.

586
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: Miss you know car JC Carlis is going to get

587
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: himself into the mix to be the third line back

588
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: really here mentioned that over the weekend of like we're

589
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: working him at will.

590
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 4: Which is he was like practice one or two where

591
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: he had like.

592
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: The first interception can yeah, tipball on a but he

593
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: so he's working behind EJ as the will, but I

594
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: think he the col Turtan base a whole lot right

595
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: You're you're looking at the snaps and I said interception.

596
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 4: I actually ran down the field and Jake I was like,

597
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 4: did you seem.

598
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, my guy, m I z uh. I think he

599
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: could get some real, a real look at that third

600
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: linebacker spot.

601
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: So this is gonna be fun because the pads are

602
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: out this week and first one is in the books

603
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 3: right now. I'm just gonna throw a name at you.

604
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: I I zeroed in on today and the one on ones.

605
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 3: I'm not going out out of our lane here, but

606
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 3: just watching Quentin Nelson.

607
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: For I wrote I wrote his name down one. Just

608
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: watching him.

609
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: Work, like especially in the one on one drills, it's

610
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: it's almost like, I don't know how to put it,

611
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 3: but if if a cub lion cub gets out of

612
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: the way a little bit, the mother's over there to

613
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: bring him back in. It's the same thing. Watching him,

614
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: especially with especially with a defensive line, gets a little

615
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: bit chippy.

616
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, you know, telling him right? Once you do.

617
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: Plus they're going nowhere. He's a stone wall in front

618
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: of I was just watching him for ten minutes and

619
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm gonna throw his name out. There is

620
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: a guy that we you know, rely on and everything,

621
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: but gosh, the best in the business.

622
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: Watching fifty Yeah, I caught a couple of his drops

623
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: in one on one and it's like, yep, right as

624
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: good as you remember advertised this as usual up there.

625
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, time, Now let's go to Michael Pittman

626
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: Junior Interview.

627
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: Ja Jae.

628
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: I got a question but for you before we throw

629
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: to it, who's taking care of his farm when he's

630
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 3: out here?

631
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh in West think that's a better question.

632
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 3: For I know this.

633
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, they are very fortunate that they have some

634
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: family help. So his wife's family is here in town

635
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 4: and they have been pitching in. But he also gives

636
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 4: a lot of credit. And we found this out and

637
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 4: we did behind the colts with him. So they help out,

638
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 4: his family, helps out his in laws. But then also

639
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 4: a lot of their neighbors will pitch in. That's something's

640
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 4: very common within the farming community is you know, people

641
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: go out of town or you know, on vacations or

642
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 4: this and that, and so you'll have neighbors who will

643
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: come over to you know, tend to the chickens. And

644
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 4: feed your cows and you know, and take care of

645
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 4: the horses and do all that. So it's kind of

646
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 4: a pitching community collaboration effect. But a lot of it

647
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: falls on Pitt's father.

648
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: Hey, it takes a bill right down the street.

649
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: It takes a village, you know. Pitt's wife is busy

650
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: with the kids she's.

651
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: Got, and certainly Keanu does a ton of the work too.

652
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 4: She's very hands on with it all. But Shels was

653
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: two little ones and they're out here practice today. She's

654
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 4: trying to bring him out here to get some time

655
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 4: with Michael and I love it.

656
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, tip of the hat to Michael Pittman Senior, the

657
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: most violent runner I've ever remember in the NFL work

658
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: out here too.

659
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: He came out for a couple days.

660
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: I thought it was really cute because he had on

661
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 4: Michael Pittman Junior's T shirt. He was wearing his son's

662
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 4: T shirt. And I said, that's kind of a role

663
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 4: reversal for you, right, Pet, Like you were probably that

664
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 4: little guy wearing your dad's.

665
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: Buccaneers dominating runner like that. Anyway, Sorry, I had to

666
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: ask a little bit about the farming with Michael Pittman junior,

667
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: our own JJ Steak. It's had a chance to catch

668
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 3: up with the wide receiver just after practice today.

669
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: All right, joining me here on the official Colts podcast

670
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: is wide receiver Michael Pittman, Junior. Today was the first

671
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: day out here at training camp that pads went on.

672
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: You're someone who has a history of liking to hit

673
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: people at the wide receiver position. What do you enjoy

674
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: what do you relish about the first day pads come

675
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: on at training camp.

676
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: I just enjoy when all the defensive players are like

677
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: hyping it up, like, oh, we got pads on today,

678
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: We got pads, like we're gonna hit today, and then

679
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: we just come out and have a normal practice. So

680
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: that's usually like my favorite part of the day, just

681
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: like laughing at them, like while they're talking trash, like

682
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: in the locker room that.

683
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: There have been a couple of skirmishes out here. Are

684
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: those overblown? Like the training camp fights or you know,

685
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: you getting a little scuffle? Are those overblown with like

686
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: the attention they might get on like social media, like oh,

687
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: pit cut in a fight? Like does it matter when

688
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: you get back to the locker room. No, I don't

689
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: think it does.

690
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: I mean, like we're all out here competing, and and

691
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: like in my mind, I have a certain way that

692
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: I think practice should go and and others might have

693
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: a different way. So when there's a miscommunication, stuff like

694
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: that happens, and and like it doesn't go further like

695
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: than ow here, Like there's no personal agenda, Like just

696
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: like I'm not out here trying to injure anybody, and

697
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: then they're not out here like trying to injure me.

698
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: But it's just competitive fire mixed with mixed with some miscommunication.

699
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: But I feel like we're getting to a point to

700
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: where we can understand each other.

701
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson just you know, five practices in you spend

702
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: a lot of time with him in the off season,

703
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: that throwing session out in California, Like, what's what's one

704
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: area that you can just feel that year one to

705
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: year two growth out of Anthony.

706
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: I just feel like he's more comfortable, Like with the plays.

707
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: I feel like he understands it better, like he can

708
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: read it better. And I feel like we're really doing

709
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: well on our down in the field throws. I Mean

710
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: that's something that we haven't had really too much like

711
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: like in the past. So just seeing him be or

712
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: just seeing him be able to do that, I feel

713
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: like we have a lot to look forward to.

714
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: This offense over the last couple of years obviously hasn't

715
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: been as able to get the ball downfield, to push

716
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: the ball downfield. You have weapons, you know, We've seen

717
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: you do it, like you know, I think about that

718
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: one in Baltimore in twenty one where you went up

719
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: over the guy fifty yards downfield. You've got eighty, You've

720
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: got Alec. I've seen Josh get some balls downfield. What

721
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: about this receiver corps can also unlock that part of

722
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: this offense? Absolutely.

723
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: I mean, we got a bunch of six to two

724
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: plus guys, A lot of guys like to have speed.

725
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: Like you got Josh who's gonna run all of our

726
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: intermediate deep short routes and like he's got speed on him.

727
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: You got Anthony Gould who's actually been been killing the

728
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: deep ball too. So we just have we just have

729
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: a lot of height, a lot of speed, and we're

730
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: gonna show it.

731
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: When you were in year two, did you get like

732
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: a better understanding of like where your routes fit within

733
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: the offense that maybe you didn't have in year one,

734
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: And if you did. How did that help you kind

735
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: of have that breakout year two?

736
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the way I see it is is is

737
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: like another thing that people don't are that up here

738
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 2: but don't understand, is you have to run your offense, right,

739
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: So so you kind of do like what you're asked of, right,

740
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: And that year that I had, like with Carson, they

741
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: asked me to run all those deep routes, and then

742
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: Matt came in, it kind of shifted like to intermediate

743
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: routes and then the season went how it went, and

744
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: then we were just kind of doing whatever we could.

745
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: And then last year, like you have to play to

746
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: your quarterback strengths, right, and Gardner was really good at

747
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: throwing those intermediate passes, so that's kind of what we

748
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: stuck to. And like we had a couple of deep

749
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: ones in there. I mean, like he threw some nice

750
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: passes too, so and Anthony's strength right now is really

751
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: throwing it deep, so well throwing deep passes. So I

752
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: had to clarify that. So, yeah, I looked it up.

753
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: And last year you led the NFL in receptions on

754
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: our pos by like an eight catch margin. It was

755
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: like you were at twenty something in Zay Flowers as

756
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: at like fourteen. That was just the flow of the

757
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: offense though, yea, and those RPOs are always probably going

758
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: to suppress your like yards per so knowing that the

759
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: offense will still have those in there, but it might

760
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: not be as heavy with that, do you kind of

761
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: expect that stat that yards per reception to kind of

762
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: naturally just go up with the progression of this offense. Yeah,

763
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I.

764
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: Mean I'm hoping it goes back up to where I

765
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: was in year one and then year two. I think

766
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: I was hovering somewhere between thirteen to fourteen to fifteen ish,

767
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm expecting it to go back to.

768
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: And then and then, like, it's not bad to get

769
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: those passes because anytime I'm getting a target, like, there's

770
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: always a chance like that I break one in score.

771
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: So whether it's a two yard pass or a twenty

772
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: yard pass or a fifty yard pass, I mean, like

773
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: I'll take it off.

774
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna steal this from a podcast that Kevin Clark

775
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: does with ESPN with Omaha Productions, and he does this

776
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: badass segment where he just asks guys, who's the biggest

777
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: badass you've ever played with. And I wanted to ask

778
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: you this because when I'm out here at training camp,

779
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: I look at him like, man, it's such a badass

780
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: out there on the field, But who is your your badass?

781
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: Like the biggest badass you've ever played with or against

782
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: in your career.

783
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: That's so tough because there's a lot of bad dudes.

784
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: The guy that immediately came to my mind was z

785
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 2: Zia Franklin, just because.

786
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: He's the one guy that I know that.

787
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: When he is talking about it, he really means it.

788
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: So I probably have to say, z It's easy to talk,

789
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: but it's not as easy to back it up.

790
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and like he's with it every single day, like

791
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 2: some guys can talk and the kind of just just

792
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 2: be like okay, Like it's like the next day. Now

793
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: he's talking every day, and he's coming every day with it.

794
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: Every play. He talks so reckless, he doesn't care who

795
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 2: you are, and he's backing it up every single time.

796
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: Like when you take notice of that on offense of

797
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 1: like you know a defensive guy like Ze who set

798
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: the franchise record for tackles in twenty two and then

799
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: he broke his own record in twenty three. How does

800
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: even on on that side of the of the ball,

801
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: how does that push you guys as an offense to

802
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: be better?

803
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like it just shows me that that

804
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 2: like that like like it's just or it is a

805
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: example of like tenacious play. And like I've always told

806
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: myself that I want to be the most tenacious, violent player,

807
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: like in the whole stadium, like every time, like just

808
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: like every time I'm playing somewhere. So when I see

809
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: someone else like raising that bar, like I gotta take

810
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: it to another level to not only match that, but

811
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: go one step further. So like he said that bar

812
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: pretty damn high.

813
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: How have you noticed player you like, your teammates in

814
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: the receiver room kind of following you over the years

815
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: and starting to look up to you as an example

816
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: of the way that you know, Reggie wants it played,

817
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: the way that Shane wants to play, the way that

818
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: the Colts as a franchise want that position played.

819
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean I think that just comes

820
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: from from doing what I say. Like I never tell

821
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: the guys like something that I don't plan to do myself, right,

822
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: so I think that they take me seriously, Like every

823
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: time I say something because they know that Pit's not

824
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: just talking about it, that I'm about it every single day.

825
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: So I think that helps. And they know I'm always

826
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: there to back them up, even you know, like even

827
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: like in some cases like if like let's say that

828
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: they're wrong, but like I'll back them up and then

829
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 2: I'll talk to him like one on one, I'll be like,

830
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: you know what, like it's like you weren't right, but

831
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: I backed you up, Like let's talk about it now,

832
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 2: let's fix it. So and like sometimes it happens to me, right,

833
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 2: and like they come to me like like be like, yeah, Pitt,

834
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: like I backed you up, but honestly, like just like

835
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: that wasn't the right thing.

836
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: So so we have that open kind of discussion. Adie

837
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: Mitchell talked about how he just kind of like texted

838
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: you this offseason like, hey, where are you. I'm gonna

839
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: come to you. What did that show you about his

840
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: dedication to work and to learn from a leader in

841
00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: this room? Yeah?

842
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean it showed me that he

843
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 2: is serious and that he is ready to uh work.

844
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: Because anybody that does my off season program, I think

845
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 2: I have the best off season program, like in the

846
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 2: whole NFL, Like, I think what I do to like

847
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: prepare every single season propels me to take that punishment

848
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: and the grueling season without like just like without losing

849
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 2: too much, right, because everybody's going to lose a little

850
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 2: bit because because football is just so hard and freak

851
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 2: things happen. But I feel like that's what really gets

852
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: me through the season is what I do in off

853
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 2: season and everything that I break it up, like my

854
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: like schedule and just trying to show him that so

855
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: he can kind of jump off of a higher like

856
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 2: just like a higher jumping point early on like in

857
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: his career could help him play for longer than he

858
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: thought he could.

859
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: What what sort of stood out to you just about

860
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: your interactions with ad like in that week that he's

861
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: spent with you, and the work that you guys put

862
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: in his willingness to do everything without question.

863
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: So like in off season, I'm getting up at six,

864
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to rehabit seven, lifting weights at nine, we're

865
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 2: doing speed work at eleven, and then we're doing routes

866
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: at twelve. So and he just jumped into that and

867
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: he didn't complain, he didn't like just like he didn't say, hey, Pitt,

868
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: like this is like too much. Like he just did

869
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 2: all of it, Like he did like all of that work,

870
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 2: and he didn't just do it one day. He did

871
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: it for two weeks. So it showed me that he's

872
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: like really about that and that he wants to do

873
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: everything that he can to learn and be better. So

874
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: so which means like a lot to me, because like

875
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: I always love guys who I think work as hard

876
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: as me, so so like I think that he worked hard.

877
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: How did you develop the the off season workout regimen

878
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: nutrition regimen that you you just talk about there, Yeah,

879
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: so so.

880
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: Over time I kind of refined it and I really

881
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 2: got to it like two years ago. So four days

882
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 2: a week Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, we're rehab we're lifting weights,

883
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: we're doing speed work, and then running routes. And then

884
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: that also leaves well, let's say footwork, because sometimes we're

885
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 2: running routes with quarterbacks, but most of the time, like

886
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 2: we're doing footwork and drill work. And then on Wednesday

887
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: and Saturday, it leaves room to throw with quarterbacks, like

888
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 2: I've thrown over this break with Bryce Young, Jordan Love CJ.

889
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: Stroud like just out like just like out like an

890
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: Orange County and then like of course Aunt like just

891
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: like when everybody came out, so we just kind of

892
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: get it in him and and and that Wednesday and uh,

893
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: Saturday is just kind of left to like freestyle. And

894
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 2: there was a couple of times so I went and

895
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: did pilates. So I'm not a big Plates guy, but

896
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 2: like my wife convinced me to go, and I actually,

897
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: you know, like just like just like it's oh, you know,

898
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: like I.

899
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: Got myself like one of those little class passes.

900
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and like I went to probably five classes

901
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 2: and it's tough, but like it's a good, good off day,

902
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: like active recovery deal.

903
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: Something Speed told me about plates. He's a big plates guy,

904
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: is he is? He also was like, I don't know

905
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: how to define a platese guy. It's just like, yeah,

906
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: you're a Plates guy. He's like my yogi. He said.

907
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: It puts your body in awkward positions. So when you

908
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: get hit on the field or you're delivering a hit

909
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: on the field and your body's in a unnatural position,

910
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: it's a little more used to it.

911
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah with that, yeah, definitely, because like they put you

912
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: in these spread out positions and then like you hold

913
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: it and like you're pushing through it and like you're

914
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: all spread out, so I definitely can see that.

915
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Last one? For you? You know,

916
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: it's a really cool seeing you out here with your family, right,

917
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, you know, playing with your kids out here

918
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: on the field. How is being a parent changed kind

919
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: of your outlook on playing football?

920
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean it it It definitely brings

921
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: you down down to reality, right because you got kids

922
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: who who they don't really know anything like but dad, right,

923
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: So so they don't really know that I play football,

924
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 2: Like they don't care, you know, and just and just

925
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: like it forces you to be the same guy every

926
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: single day because they count on you for everything, right

927
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 2: and even when like you might not feel like it,

928
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: like like you just can't lack because obviously, like I'm

929
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 2: trying to raise these kids.

930
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: To be better than me. So like it just forces

931
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: me to be the best version of myself. Like at

932
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: all times. Is it like to you get home from

933
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: a game, you know, whether you want or lost, what

934
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter to your kids.

935
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: You still got to Oh, you know, they they don't

936
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 2: care if I'm having the worst day ever, Like just

937
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: like just like I'm just like their dad, Like I'm

938
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: there to serve them. So which is how it is though,

939
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 2: because like those are my kids, Like I chose to

940
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: have kids, so obviously, like they come first in every

941
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 2: single situation.

942
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: It's really cool. Pittman Junior joining us here on the

943
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: Official Colts Podcast. Thanks for time, man, Thank you guys.

944
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 3: Well, the position coach of the wide receivers is a

945
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: guy who knows a thing or two about being a dog.

946
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 3: And Reggie Wayne calls Michael Pittman Junr a dog and

947
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'd agree after that interview.

948
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, my favorite. I wanted to ask that bad

949
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: ass question to him because I love listening to Kevin

950
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: Clark's podcast This Is Football and he asks players like

951
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: who's the biggest badass? And I was like, well, so

952
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: if someone asked me who that guy is, I'm like, well,

953
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: training Camp. I actually I was talking about this with

954
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: a friend, like who are your favorite training camp players

955
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: in my career? So I was like, all right, with

956
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: the Colts, it's pitt it's Zaire. Are those two guys

957
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: that came over you? And then well then in Chicago,

958
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: I was like Khalil Mack Khalil mckackem Hicks and Kyle

959
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: Long are my guys in Chicago who I loved watching.

960
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: But I'm like out here for it. Also for that

961
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: guy to be a wide receiver, it's like you got

962
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: to be a real, real badass to get out there.

963
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that he also then said Zaire as

964
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: his answer because and I love that answer of like

965
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: ze talks, he doesn't stop talking, but you know what,

966
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: he backs it back to it. I love that respect.

967
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 4: There is there an offensive player that thrives on the

968
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 4: first day in pads more than Michael Pittman.

969
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: Well, because his answer if the answer he gave me

970
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: was great of like you got all these defensive players

971
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: talking about it's great first day and Pad's get to

972
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: hit someone. And then he's like, yeah, it's just a

973
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: normal practice because he treats every practice the same, which

974
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: is he's going to go out there and kick someone's butt.

975
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: I love it all.

976
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 3: Right, guys, we were saying goodbye right now, but we

977
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: do have practices this week, padded practices as well.

978
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: What do you see? What do you want to see?

979
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 3: Shane stikeing and these colts be a week from now

980
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 3: where do you what do you want to see accomplishment

981
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 3: offensively and defensively over the next couple of practices.

982
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: I think you you want to see, you know, a

983
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: little more just cleanliness from the offense. There have been

984
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: a little.

985
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 4: Bad snaps penalty.

986
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: Today. I do want to give a shout out to

987
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: Segoona Loubie because he had a punch out on a play.

988
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: He punched the ball out from mo and it was

989
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: like a real punch out, like you know. It came

990
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: within the rhythm of the play. It wasn't like he

991
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: was tackling and then he went to the ground because

992
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: he can't tackle. You're just thudding and he can. You

993
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: had a real punch out, but that.

994
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 4: Is a large claw to get a punch out, like.

995
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: You know. You just want to see a little bit

996
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: more in terms of the pre snap stuff being okay,

997
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:17,959
Speaker 1: it's been good.

998
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 3: Trying to do my my, my past blocking here and

999
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 3: it's not working. Ulverton's got me some boy spin move.

1000
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,399
