11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: blast of coaches to having. We are downtown and we

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: are set and ready for big time football coming up

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: this weekend. Really across the board tonight in high school,

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: tomorrow with college, and then in the NFL Colts host

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: the Jaguars coming up on Sunday. I I should tell

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: you this. We're giving away four four packs of tickets

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: courtesy of bud Light to the game on Sunday. Four packs.

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: So if you're in and around Coaches Town, let's just say,

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: for example, you're coming down here to see Chappelle Slight,

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: did here sign up? See if you can win four

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: four packs along with other great stuff we're gonna give

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: away while we're here for the next hour. As we

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: always start, Truth or Trash gets us going. Jonathan Taylor

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: will see at least twenty touches every week moving forward.

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: I think that was kind of the thing Kyle last week,

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: wasn't it but Jonathan Taylor and touches. But it stands

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: to reason because I brought this up before. You have

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: to lean on the best, and he is the best offensively,

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: not just on this team, but likely on the field

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: oftentimes when he's playing, and certainly this weekend. So the

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: more you can lean on him and get him to produce,

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: which he does, the better off you will be considering

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: your must win situations, not just Sunday, but coming up

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: as well. Truth or Trash Jonathan Taylor we'll see at

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: least twenty touches every week moving forward, and again doesn't

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: necessarily have to be carries, but just touching the ball.

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: To me, that's gonna be an over because he's gonna

38
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: run at about eighteen to nineteen times and he's going

39
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: to get three or four, maybe even five looks at

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: it through the air. At least he should, or you're

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: doing it wrong. That's your truth or trash question of

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: the week right there. Meantime, we also start in the

43
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: fashion in which we do right, we always start with

44
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: the coach's interview Voice of the Colts Matt Taylor and

45
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: his usual conversation where the Colts head coach Frank Reich

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: is now Matt, all right, thank you, Jamee v. It's

47
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: time now for the head Coaches Report with Frank Reich

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: and coach. First of all, after coming off Thursday Night

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: football last week, does it feel like you have two

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: weeks to get ready for this game? Does this week

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: feel like an eternity compared to last week? Now it

52
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: feels good, Matt. You know, I think it was good

53
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: for the players to have this little mini buy and

54
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: get some rest, and even the coaches to get, you know,

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: a day or two of rest. But you know, now

56
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: locked back in on a division opponent, we know the

57
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: importance of the game within the division, really within the

58
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: season from where we put ourselves, so looking forward to it,

59
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're heading into week number ten and there's

60
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: eight games to play. We're right in the middle of

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: the season. Coach, is this where you kind of tell

62
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: the guys, hey, This is where the strong survive. This

63
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: is where we can make some hay here Stackson wins

64
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: when the grind of the season is hitting everybody else

65
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: except for us. Yeah, that's exactly right, Matt. As as

66
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: long as I can remember being around this league a

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: long time, you know, there's always an emphasis, always coaches

68
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: talking to players about you know what starting in November.

69
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: That's that's where we really see who the teams are

70
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: who are going to make some noise. And that's because

71
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: it's those teams that are continuing to get better at

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: this time of the year is really what's most important.

73
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. That's Frank Rich with us

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and the offense, as we've talked about in the past,

75
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: playing incredibly well right now. You're coming off the season

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: high forty five points against the Jets. You've been over

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: twenty five and six straight games. Why is the offense

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: operating at just a very high level right now? Well,

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's multiple factors, like it always is.

80
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: You know, First, we want to now it's you know,

81
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: the defenses continue to get turnovers, so we've had some

82
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: good short fields in there. That always helps with scoring. Um,

83
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, but as far as the offense is concerned,

84
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, really starts up front. The guys up front,

85
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, cutting healthy and the chemistry's there and we're

86
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, really doing a good job. And then secondly,

87
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, Carson has continue to just get better and

88
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: better and is playing good football. And then obviously the

89
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: most biggest part of the whole offense is you know,

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: what Jonathan Taylor is doing. So but we don't take

91
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: anything for granted, matt Um. You know, even though we've

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: had a string of good offensive you know outputs Um,

93
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: we're going up against a very good defense this week.

94
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. And you talked about that

95
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: offensive line. They have improved every week, they've gotten healthier,

96
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: they're now you know, the Cults are now a top

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: five rushing team. What do you appreciate the most about

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: the way that unit handles their business? Because you brought

99
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: up Jonathan Taylor. The backs get all the highlights, we

100
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: always talk about Carson Wentz, but the offensive line just

101
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: as a group, they're very unassuming and they just they

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: go to work every day and put their heads down. Yeah,

103
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I really like the way that we work out in practice,

104
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: starting with individual period. It's a big deal, and I

105
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: just think it's a credit to them of how physically

106
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: hard they continue to work. It's not just a question

107
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: of running plays, you know, during the week to get

108
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: ready for the game. It's physically working at my craft,

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: the fundamentals and technique that it takes to get better,

110
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: the timing on combination box, all that stuff, how to

111
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: fit them up. And we've continued to work hard at that,

112
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: and I think it's showing. Carson Wentz has definitely had

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: a busy week coach. He's had to prepare for the Jaguars,

114
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: but also repair for the nursery right, get the house ready.

115
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: He and his wife are expecting a baby very very soon.

116
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: What have you seen out of him this week? Balancing

117
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: football and family life at the same time. Yeah, I

118
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: mean Carson's locked in, you know, you know, he's very balanced,

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, we all know how important family

120
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: life is to all of us, as certainly is the

121
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Carson and you know, so I know he and his

122
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: wife have had conversations about, you know, this week and

123
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: how how it could go, and those are all those

124
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: are all good, right, family discussions and decisions that you

125
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: make as a family but what I see is here

126
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: he walks in the door. Here, he's focused on getting

127
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: ready to play a good football game. All right. The

128
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: Jaguars come into this game two in six, but they've

129
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: won two of their last three, including last time out

130
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: last Sunday against Buffalo. What do the Jaguars look like

131
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks compared to the first five

132
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. When you turn them on the

133
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: un film, I mean, defensively, you just see a really

134
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: good front seven. I mean, they get pressure on the quarterback,

135
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: they stopped the run. Um, They're they're playing really good

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: on defense right now. And I think on offense, you know,

137
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: you got the number one pick in the draft, you

138
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: got a very good offensive line. You've got really I

139
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: think one of the better better running backs in the league.

140
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Um and James Robinson. So you know, this is a

141
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: this is a this is a good team. And as

142
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: you said, they're got some momentum two or three, so

143
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: good challenge for us. Um, it's really about what we do,

144
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: So we got to go out and execute. And on

145
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: their defense, Josh Allen is the reigning AFC Defensive Player

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: of the Week. He had a sack, an interception, a

147
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: fumble recovery last week. He's one of the biggest threats

148
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: on their defensive line. What stands out to you about

149
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: his game? I mean he's just super talented. Um, you

150
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: know that he can do it all. He plays the

151
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: run well, he rushes the past well, he can drop

152
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: in coverage, um, you know, and he's a playmaker. So um.

153
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: You know, I have had a chance to you know,

154
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: read up a little bit on him, and you know,

155
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: even watch a couple of his interviews. Seems like a

156
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, seems like a pros pro as well. So

157
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: you know that's that's good for the league as well.

158
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: So we know this is an elite guy that we got.

159
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: We gotta take care of business with him this weekend. Yeah,

160
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: you brought up Trevor Lawrence and he's had an up

161
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: and down season so far, but his ceiling is very,

162
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: very high. And you always look at all the quarterbacks

163
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: coming out of the draft just to do your due

164
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: diligence there. What did you like about his game coming

165
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: out of Clemson? Well, I mean, he can do it all.

166
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: He's athletic, he's big, athletic, smart, you know, can make

167
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: all the throws. You know, a lot like Carson, you know, really,

168
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean they're very similar in that big strong, big

169
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: strong guys with big arm talent and then really smart

170
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: and can throw it on the run, can play the

171
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: drop back game. So yeah, I think Trevor is the

172
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: real deal. And you know, he's getting better and better

173
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: all the time. You can see it. And he's being

174
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: asked to handle a lot, right I mean, he's the

175
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: face of the franchise. He's having to shoulder a lot

176
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: of you know, responsibility right away as a rookie. Does

177
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: the Colts defense kind of feed off that and knowing

178
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: that he's still a rookie at the end of the day,

179
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: playing at Lucas Stadium for the first time, Yeah, I

180
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: think there's no doubt that the defense, you know, when

181
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: you're going up against a young rising star, you know,

182
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: like like this number one pick in the draft, that

183
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of an edge to you. Hey,

184
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: we you know, we want to kind of show show

185
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: this cab what the NFL is all about. But at

186
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's not been a lot

187
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: of the talk. It's been more about how we play

188
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: as a unit, and how we play against their entire offense,

189
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: and how we have to. It's got to be eleven

190
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: on one, you know, and we got to execute in

191
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: a way consistently for sixty minutes, all right. Lastly, coach

192
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: other keys to this game, things that you know you

193
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: have to get done in order to close out a

194
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: three game home stands strong. Well, they're a team on

195
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: offense who you know, they have a very strong running game.

196
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: So it's going to start with, you know, stop their run,

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: and then we gotta we got to do a really

198
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: good job on third downs, you know, pass game wise.

199
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: You know, if I was picking, you know, the two

200
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: areas in the past game where we got to be

201
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: on point and sharp, it's going to be third down

202
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: and you know, and in the red zone. So that's

203
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: really what we're for from our defense. You know, on offense,

204
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: we know we're going up against a team that is

205
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: very physical defense. It's very physical. They've been good at

206
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: stopping the run. We have some momentum in that area, right,

207
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: so we're willing to mix it up and you know,

208
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: we certainly want to throw it and get some chunks

209
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: down the field, but we don't want to, you know,

210
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: we want to continue the momentum that we've built in

211
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: the run game, so we got we gotta find a

212
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: way to be effective in the run and then be

213
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: able to make some big plays down the field as well.

214
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: All right, that's frank Reich. That's our weekly report with

238
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: last Thursday night was a big night for the Colts

239
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: and that went over the Jets on Thursday night. But

240
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: a big night for an offensive lineman because not often

241
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: do they get a chance to score. Hey, last night

242
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: you saw an opportunity that it was a play that

243
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: didn't happen from the Miami Dolphins. Right last night. It

244
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: didn't happen a week ago. Last night, it did happen

245
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: for Danny Pinter in the end zone catching a touchdown pass.

246
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: And for more on that and what he has done

247
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: so far. The ball State Products had the opportunity to

248
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: sit and have a conversation with Voice of the Colts

249
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. Matt take it Away, all right, thank you,

250
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: jamb I'm joining now on the line by Danny Pinter,

251
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: Colt's second year offensive lineman out of ball State with us. Danny,

252
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: thanks for the time today. How are you? Absolutely, I'm

253
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: doing well. How about you? I am great, not as

254
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: good as you. Congrats again are in order. For that

255
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: first career touchdown catch the other night, Thursday night football

256
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: against the Jets, we'll start there. What was going through

257
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: your mind when you saw the ball coming your way

258
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone as at the extra offensive lineman

259
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: on that play, Yeah, definitely moving a little bit in

260
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: slow motion hanging up in the air. But other than that,

261
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: you know, kind of kind of just went blank, which

262
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: I think is best case scenario. You can't really think

263
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: about all the ways you can go wrong. You just

264
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: got to catch it and then you know, from there

265
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: and all everything happened so fast. But celebrating, Yeah, it

266
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. Well that's exactly what you did. Now.

267
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: I took my eye off of you to look at

268
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: the scoreboard at the end of the play. Haven't really

269
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: examined the tape if you will. After that catch, did

270
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: you have an end zone touchdown dance or a celebration

271
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: after that. No, I had enough specific plan that took

272
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: a little heat for that. But I'll our remember is

273
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: standing up and I think Eric Fisher is the first

274
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: one I saw just running full speed at me. So

275
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't celebrate with all of them, which is

276
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Now. I don't mean to be critical,

277
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: but how do you not have something planned or something

278
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind as an NFL player.

279
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't care what position you play. Yeah, that's on

280
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: me if we get that chance again, but double the

281
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: excitement on it and make up for the last one,

282
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Danny Pinter is with us. Now,

283
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: when was your last touchdown catch dating back to your

284
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: days as a tight end? How long has it had

285
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: it been? So? I actually caught one my senior year

286
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: as alignment with ball State. We actually ran a trick play,

287
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: probably like my third to last game of senior year. Um,

288
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: so that was my last time getting the end zone.

289
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: So it wasn't too long ago. Now, you kept the football,

290
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: I assume I did. Yeah, yeah, shout out que and

291
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. I didn't know what to do if I

292
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: never score a touchdown, and they were like, keep the ball,

293
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: keep the ball exactly grabbed it, so I do have it. Yeah,

294
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: what are you plan on doing with it in terms

295
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: of displaying in and all that? Uh, now, I haven't

296
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: thought too deeply about that. Um. Now, I got a

297
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: couple of balls from you know, all the years of

298
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: playing football ASO probably slap it up there at that. Um.

299
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll definitely, uh definitely do something with it

300
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: as a cool moment. I mean, it's it's an offensive

301
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: lineman's dream to get in the end zone. It had

302
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: been for the Colts anyway since twenty fourteen with with

303
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Costanzo scored a touchdown for an offensive lineman to

304
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: find the blue paint if you will at Lucas Oil Stadium.

305
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: Are you getting heat? Are you getting you know, some

306
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: some flak from your offensive lineman mates in terms of

307
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: jealousy because they, I'm sure they want to be the

308
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: ones that have the ball instead of you. Yeah, I mean,

309
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: you know a little bit about the obviously getting a

310
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: hard time, you know, And I'm still relatively young guy

311
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: in the group, so uh, you know, I still I

312
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: still take my heat in general. Um, but you know,

313
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously everyone's messing around it's it's been a

314
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: lot of fun. It was a it was a cool

315
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: moment to share with all those guys, as Danny pinter

316
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: with us. Now, how many texts or calls did you

317
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: get after the game? And who are some interesting people

318
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: you heard from after that touchdown catch? Yeah quite a bit.

319
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: It took me a long time to get back everyone,

320
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: and uh, there's a chance I still haven't got back

321
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: to everyone. Um, but you know, Jeff Saturday tweeted at me,

322
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: which was cool. Um, Brian Baldinger did a little video

323
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: which is funny. And then you know, it's just good

324
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: to hear from I met so many people that you know,

325
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: helped me get to where I am through football and

326
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, off the field and football. Um, so just

327
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: just good to hear from a lot of people, which

328
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: is always nice. Now when when Carson Wentz is in

329
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: the huddle and he's barking the play call and you

330
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: realize like, oh, holy crap, here we go. You know,

331
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: like this this could come to me? What's going through

332
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: your mind as you approach the line of scrimmage? Uh,

333
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: just just my assignment really, Um, to be honest, I'm

334
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: basically the last asked to look on that play. Um

335
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: if not an option at all. Um, And you know,

336
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: just just the way things shook down, it it worked

337
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: out everyone else was covered up. So um, really, I

338
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: was just thinking about handling my my assignment to start

339
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: with the D line, and then I got out there,

340
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: I said, oh, there's nobody on, so it worked out. Well.

341
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: That's Danny Pinter's second year offensive lineman for the Colts.

342
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: He's out of ball State former tight end. How much

343
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: do you miss playing tight end, Danny? Um? I mean definitely,

344
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, parts of it for sure, Moments like that

345
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: making catches are fun. But uh, you know, I think

346
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm a lineman that heart blocking has always been my

347
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: favorite thing, and just you know, just the the general

348
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: nature of the old line room is something that I

349
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: think I fit well in. So I definitely prefer old line.

350
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: But you know, there there's certainly out of fun aspects

351
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: of playing tight end. Well, take take me back to

352
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: college at ball State. What led to your transition from

353
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: a tight end to an offensive lineman and why do

354
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: you think that transition for you has gone so smoothly? Oh? Yeah,

355
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: it was a mixture of things. Um, you know, I

356
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: was a blocking tight end, Um, that was certainly my

357
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: forte and then you know, my coach is approaching and said, hey,

358
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: we need a tackle for next year and we think

359
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: you can make the switch. So that's all I needed

360
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: to hear. Um. You know, we were struggling team, so

361
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: I was just trying to do my part to help

362
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: the team. UM. And yeah, I think it's just been,

363
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: you know, the approach of getting a little bit better

364
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: every day. Certainly, you know, there's always been the bumps

365
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: in the road and there still are. Um, they're especially

366
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: making that transition right away. They were there were struggles,

367
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: but you just you just got to trust the process

368
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: of getting better every day. And I've had I've had

369
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: fantastic coaches both in college and the NFL, and a

370
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: lot of good teammates that have helped me along the way.

371
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: That's Danny Pinter with us offensive lineman for the Cults.

372
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: For you in year number two, where do you think

373
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: you've improved your game from last year as a rookie

374
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: till now? Danny Um, Yeah, I think, you know, obviously

375
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: you adapt to the speed and the physical nature of

376
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 1: the NFL. I think I've I've gotten pretty comfortable with that. Um.

377
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: And then really you know, it's all about small details. Um,

378
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: so I think I've I've changed quite a few things,

379
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: and you know, just my approach and the run game,

380
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: the pass game, UM, a lot of stuff, you know,

381
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: working on my body in the offseason to help those changes.

382
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: But really it's just a lot of a lot of

383
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: small details that add up. So I've just been trying

384
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: to hammer away at those every day. And he's still

385
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: got a bunch of stuff. I'm trying to improve that.

386
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, you know that that's just that's just

387
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: the name of the game, So just keep going at that.

388
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: From a group standpoint. What are you seeing in the

389
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line right now? Danny? The Colts are averaging

390
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty rushing yards per game. You

391
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: guys are number two in yards per carry at five

392
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: point one. What's clicking on the offensive line right now,

393
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: specifically in the ground game. Yeah, I think, you know,

394
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: just our chemistry is clicking. I think, um, you know,

395
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: now we've it was a newer group, and we had

396
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: some injuries here and there, but I think everyone's pretty

397
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: much on the same page with you know, where this

398
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: guy's going to be on you know, certain blocks or

399
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: combinations that they're a thing. And I think we just

400
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: got really good chemistry right now and we're playing five

401
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: is one, which is obviously the key. So you know,

402
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: we've we've been hammering away at that and I think

403
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: it's it's starting to click. And obviously we've got great

404
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: backs like Naheim, JT and Marlin in the backfield that

405
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: that makes it even easier. But I think right now

406
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: just our chemistry is really click. That's Danny Pinter Cult's

407
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: offensive lineman with us. And you talked about still being

408
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: a young guy right still in your number two With

409
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: that in mind, who has helped you so far in

410
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: your career? Which guys in the locker room have sort

411
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: of taken you under their wing. Yeah, I mean all

412
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: these guys are awesome, but especially you know Ryan plan Center,

413
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly, He's been awesome to me both in you know,

414
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: there's more of a mental aspect of center. Um So,

415
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: just just learning from him has been invaluable to me. Um.

416
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: And then q a Q has helped me a ton

417
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: um you know, both whether in the off season, um

418
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: or just just throughout camp. You know, he's he's the

419
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: best in the game for a reason. Um So, I'm

420
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: just always trying to watch what he's doing. And then

421
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: he's done a good job of, you know, taking me

422
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 1: under his wing, and he goes out of the way

423
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: to help everyone get better. So I'm definitely indebted to

424
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: those guys. All Right, I gotta ask you, what is

425
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: it like from your angle to block for Jonathan Taylor?

426
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Can you step aside and just admire how special he

427
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: is as a teammate running the football for you guys? Yeah, yeah,

428
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: he's He's a special guy, like everyone knows. Um. And

429
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think it just it shows

430
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: his work ethic, Um, just the way he carries himself

431
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: off the field, how hard he works, now, humble he is.

432
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: Um is awesome. And then he flips that switch on Sunday. Um,

433
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: but not even you know that's how he isn't practice

434
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: and all that. But I think that's all paying off

435
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: for him. It's really cool to watch that success. Just

436
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: just the way he plays, in the physical nature he

437
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: plays with and uh, I mean just just every player

438
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: he's bringing it. So it's awesome to see. And I

439
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: think I know the answer to this question, but I mean,

440
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: is is he the same guy in the huddle on

441
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: the field as he is with the fans and in

442
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: the media. I mean, just as you said, incredibly humble,

443
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, very polite, I mean, just very very impressive

444
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: young man when it comes to everything both on and

445
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: off the field and everything that he does. Absolutely, yeah,

446
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: I know he's he's as even kill as it gets.

447
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: And just just like I said, yeah, he's he's so

448
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: humble and he's he's good to everyone. Um. And you know,

449
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: obviously those are the guys you like to see succeed, ye,

450
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: And that's part of the reason he has so much success,

451
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: just just how grounded he is. Um. But he's an

452
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: unreal player and he's an unreal guy too off the field.

453
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's a guy you on your team for sure.

454
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: That's Danny Penzer with US cult's offensive lineman. Another guy

455
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: one on your team as Carson Wentz. What growth have

456
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: you noticed from him from the start of the season

457
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: until now, is you know, the the orchestrator of that offense. Yeah,

458
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: he's awesome. You know, he's a leader on this team.

459
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: Every everyone looks up to him, everyone trusts him, and

460
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: just just his toughness is always on display. You know,

461
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: he had those ankles at the beginning of the year

462
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: that he played through m and his toughness and his

463
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: competitive nature. Definitely, he's got the whole team behind him.

464
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: For sure. He's a great leader. And then obviously his

465
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: play has been shown. You know, he's playing really well

466
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: out there and he's always given us a chance. All Right,

467
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: last couple of things with Danny Pinter joining US cults

468
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, what do you make of the Jaguars on defense? Danny,

469
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 1: They're pretty good at slowing down the run, giving up

470
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: less than four yards per carry, and they stiy the

471
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: Bills last week, giving up only six points to Buffalo

472
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: after they heading into that game scoring about thirty two

473
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: points per contest. Yeah, yeah, they're they're they're really solid

474
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: front seven for sure, and a defense as a whole um,

475
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: and you know, they're not someone that you take lightly.

476
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: Especially they've won two other last three, so they've they've

477
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: got some groove going right now, and I think they

478
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about what they're doing. Um, they're clicking,

479
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: so h you know, obviously we see that as a challenge.

480
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: The way we're running the ball right now, that's something

481
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to. But they're they're definitely a really

482
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: solid defense and a defense that we respect. All right. Lastly, Danny,

483
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get nostalgic on you know a little bit

484
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: with the IHSA Football Tournament still going on as we

485
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: head to regional level. I believe coming up on Friday.

486
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: You played at South ben Adams not that long ago.

487
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Do you still get kind of nostalgic? Do you still

488
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: get that warm, fuzzy feeling about Friday night lights around

489
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: Central Indiana when you drive by a high school game. Absolutely? Yeah,

490
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: those are some of the best times of you know,

491
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: my football playing days. Um. Just just I always tell people,

492
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: you know, they're you know, now, I've played at all

493
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: the levels and it's awesome and I wouldn't trade this

494
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: for anything. But there's still nothing like Friday night lights. Um,

495
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: just playing with your friends you grew up with and

496
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: all that. Um, you can't trade that for anything. So

497
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: it's it's always cool to you know, see the highlights

498
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: on the news and all that stuff and just just

499
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: know that's awesome going on. It's awesome And no doubt

500
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,080

531
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: fans Hey Welcome back, took creditated question of the week

532
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: is as follows. In Jacksonville, there's a two head coach

533
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: and quarterback with vand Meyer and Trevor Lawrence. Since the

534
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: common Draft era that's nineteen sixty seven, there have only

535
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: been five teams to make the playoffs with a rookie

536
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: starting QB and a first year head coach. Who was

537
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: the most recent duo to accomplish that feat. Give me

538
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: the answer to that coming up in just a little bit,

539
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: but right now you gotta be informed, and you will.

540
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: From the radio booth. It's former NFL coach Rick Venturi

541
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 1: and the voice of the Colts Matt Taylor. Matt all right,

542
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: thank you, JMV. It's time for Inside Football with Rick

543
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: vent Terry. We're gonna find out how the Colts to

544
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars on Sunday. Let's talk about the blue prints,

545
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: and let's begin first with the Jags on offense. They're

546
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: averaging only sixteen points per game. That's second to last

547
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They've put up just sixteen points in

548
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: the last two games combined, and they've been held to

549
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: under twenty points in five games this season. Trevor Lawrence

550
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: is now the franchise quarterback after being taken with the

551
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: first overall pick, but he's been up and down this

552
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: season like you would predict for a rookie to be.

553
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: The Jags are twenty fourth in passing thirty second and

554
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: third down offense, but they are tough upfront on that

555
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, and they have second year running back James

556
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Robinson who ran over a thousand yards last season as

557
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie free agent. So give us the us

558
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: for the Colts defense to win against the Jaguars offense

559
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday. Yeah, you know, I talked a

560
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: little bit about about the personnel there again, you're right.

561
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Lawrence is a guy right now

562
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: that you know. He really has a lot of talent.

563
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: When you look at him, he plays the game a

564
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: lot like Carson. Obviously he was one. Carson was number

565
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: two in the draft. I mean they were drafted because

566
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: they're they're complete tool guys. Um and you know, at

567
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: times he just looks great. He can, he can he

568
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: can make a game tough because he can move bootlegs

569
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: for instance. If we don't fix that, we're crazy because

570
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: he's really good at that. You know, Robinson, we'll get

571
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: into that very effective runner and I really like chan

572
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: Alt and I'll get into those in the must I

573
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: think it always starts, particularly with the team that's not explosive,

574
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: is you've got to stop the running game of Robinson

575
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: and obviously hide if he's in there. But Robinson, he's

576
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: the guy. And you know, we've seen Robin and I

577
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: mean we saw his debut as a free agent and

578
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: he did a great job against us in that opener

579
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: in twenty He showed what he can do and he

580
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: continued to do it. He's tough, small but he's tough,

581
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: and he's elusive, and he has a deceptive bounce to

582
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: the edge. Again, I talked about first free agent in history,

583
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, to gain a thousand. He's a Rockford Lutheran kid,

584
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: played at Illinois State. I know, I know the background well,

585
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: but I'm still amazed. And even in two twenty one,

586
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: missing a game, he still has a five point five

587
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: rushing average and he has eighteen receptions. And Hi does

588
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: the solid backup. But Robinson as a really good player.

589
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: We have to stuff Robinson. We cannot let this team

590
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: have a life raft by having a running game and

591
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: taking pressure off the quarterback and off the two tackles.

592
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: I think we have to control lawrence athleticism first and

593
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: confuse use him with coverage second. You know, when you

594
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: look at his numbers, the number that strikes me is

595
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: the fifty percent completion average, you know, and the and

596
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: the touchdown to ratio. I think it's eight to nine.

597
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: And basically he can be forced into mistakes. You know,

598
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: he's still he will show great athleticism, and he'll show

599
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: great arm and then you'll and then you'll see a

600
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: play that you say, you know, what did he do

601
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: on that? And he forced it, so I think that's

602
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: really critical. But the ankle may or may not be problematic.

603
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: I don't know on the mobility, but if they're smart,

604
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: they will boot us to death. They will boot us,

605
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: and we've got to get our head out of whatever

606
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: and make sure that that does not happen. Because he

607
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: is really he can really throw it on the run

608
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: when things open up for him. So again Lawrence's athleticism

609
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: stop and then confuse him. I think we must have

610
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: a plan in situations, critical situation for La Vista Schanof.

611
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: Chennault is a hybrid receiver out of Colorado. He's almost

612
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: a half a running back. You know, half a receiver,

613
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of top end. He reminds me

614
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: so much of an Quon Bolden, who was in my

615
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: division when I coached in the NFL. Physical guy, he

616
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: can break tackles, always been a big catch and run guy,

617
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: has played some wildcat and where you see him show

618
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: up Matt is on those third down, third in three

619
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: to seven, those money downs in the NFL. That's when

620
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: they really feature him. And what they'll do a lot

621
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 1: is get in bunches and stacks so that they can

622
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: try to get him access. So when we're in man

623
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: to man coverage, which you are in a lot of

624
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: those situations, you have to be really good in taking

625
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: him away. But again he don't get me wrong, he

626
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: and Jones. If you look at the stat sheet, there's

627
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: really no difference. But if you look at the take

628
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: the go to guy in critical situations is Chenalt, and

629
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: you got to make sure you got you got him

630
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: taken care of. I say, choke these guys. The thing

631
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: that I told you there a week the reason they're

632
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: sixteen five scoring is they can't get explosive players, particularly

633
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: out of the receiver corps. Nobody there is really really fast.

634
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: And know who you're playing. I talked about Chalt. You

635
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: know Jones is solid. He was at Detroit for years,

636
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones. He's a real solid guy. But he's a

637
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: possession guy. The guy that can be a little tricky

638
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: is Agnew thirty nine. Agnew their return guy. He's also

639
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: their gadget guy, and he's a really good catch and

640
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: run guy. So I mean, they got some tools, but

641
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: you want to crowd these guys. You if don't sit

642
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: back and let this guy just pick your part in

643
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: his own that would be ridiculous, particularly with a team

644
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: that can't run, So you know, that's really critical. And

645
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: then I think if, if, if, and when, and you've

646
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: got to do this, you get an advantage. I think

647
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: their offensive line has real issues, but I think they

648
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: have issues on the edge Robinson. And you're right, you

649
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: said this early. It's a very experienced offensive line, it

650
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: really is. And it's a highly invested offensive line, high

651
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: draft picks, free agents. I mean, they've put together a

652
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: lot of people here, but I still think they're weak

653
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: on the edges. I think that you know, Robinson can

654
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: be beaten with athleticism. I think Taylor on the right side,

655
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: he was a high draft pick. He has lazy feet

656
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: at times, and you can beat him with second efforts,

657
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: you know. I think obviously that Buckner is a tough

658
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: matchup on their guards, no question about that, you know,

659
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, particularly Unbarched, the young kid, their right guard.

660
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: So I think you can win those battles. The other

661
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: thing that I've seen, well, actually just the note there's

662
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: Robinson got hurt in the pregame last week, and little

663
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: the rookie, remember we evaluated him a year ago from Stanford.

664
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: He's a big tall Tree, but they beat him consistently

665
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: on the edge. I think Robinson will be back this week,

666
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make that much difference. One thing I've

667
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: noticed this is a team that you can really blitz.

668
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: They have trouble their backs have trouble picking people up.

669
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Line stunts heard them get up in those sugars, which

670
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: we can do. They seem to have a very ns

671
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: partially the quarterback. They have a really hard time identify

672
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: them and I've seen sugar different sugar blitzes really really

673
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: get them. So this is a team that blitzes and

674
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: line stunts can be very effective. All right, let's talk

675
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: about the blueprint for the Colts offense against the Jaguars.

676
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: On defense, Jacksonville is twenty six and points allowed, giving

677
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: up twenty six a game. They give up a very

678
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: high completion percentage at seventy two point six, that's thirty first.

679
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: Their hallmark is run defense, giving up only three point

680
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry. That's number three of the NFL.

681
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: They only have five takeaways on the season. Three of

682
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: those actually came last week against the Bills, as they

683
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: slowed down the high powered Bills offense to only six points.

684
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: They also sacked Josh Allen a season high four times

685
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: and hit him another eight. I've got some nice pieces

686
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: on that defense, including defensive end Josh Allen, Calavon, Chason

687
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: Miles Jack who always plays hard, and then Dwan Smoot

688
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: at defensive end. What else do the Colts have to

689
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: be mindful of when it comes to this Jaguars defense.

690
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: Rig No, You're exactly right. And you know, when you

691
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: watch them Sunday against the Bills, you wonder how in

692
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: the hell they could peak twenty six from the league

693
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: really because they look like a completely different team. And

694
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: if you if you peel the onion like I do

695
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: on tape, there is talent there. There really is some talent,

696
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: and they play really really hard. I think it's you know,

697
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: I think it's taken them a while to figure out

698
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: who they are. I think getting the defensive tackle back

699
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Brian gave them an inside rusher that they haven't had.

700
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: I think he had two sacks that made a difference.

701
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: You know, they got one really really good corner and

702
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: then they started Ford at the nickel. They were struggling

703
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: with Herndon, who we've torched over the years. They finally

704
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: benched him. Put Ford and Ford had a really good game,

705
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: and so you know, I think they're also kind of

706
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: pulling it together. They're not they're not a real complex team,

707
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: which you wouldn't expect from a new staff. Uh you know,

708
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: basically a lot of first down single high uh you know,

709
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: meaning three deep, eight man front basically over and double sinks.

710
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: One thing they do a lot of is fires on

711
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: first down. They like to bring that nickel off the

712
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: edge and they like to bring our guy winger it

713
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: off the edge of the safety. I mean those you know,

714
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: they'd like to try to go on first down and

715
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: come off the edge and get you behind the count,

716
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: you know. And so you know when they get into

717
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: long yards, when they get in a second down, then

718
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: they play a sticky quarter and by that I mean

719
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a matchup or underneath that. They match it

720
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: up really really tight and play quarters behind. So you know,

721
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: they work like heck not to get a lot not

722
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: to let you come back on second down. Now, one

723
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: thing I've noticed, and I think it's probably to protect

724
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: their corner of Campbell a little bit, is they have

725
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: played in the last three weeks a little bit more

726
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: Tampa two than we've seen almost no one has played

727
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: that against us. Now we work against it ourselves, so

728
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: it should be a mystery. But they will play Tampa

729
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: two and then sometimes what they do is they'll bring

730
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: that nickel, they'll bring forward what looks like a blitz,

731
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: and then they'll drop Alan out of there, and then

732
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: they'll play Tampa two with it, you know, which is

733
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: kind of a nice little wrinkle. Third, when they get

734
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: to third down, you know, they'll give you some stuff.

735
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: They'll give you the blitz, you know what I call

736
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: the bluff and blitz package. Play a lot more manda

737
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: man on third down, a lot more man to man

738
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: in that situation. They haven't emphasized a lot of delta,

739
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: but I would be ready for it because Chason is

740
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: an outstanding spinner out there. When they do it, I

741
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: think the interesting thing and I'm gonna say the number

742
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: one must and I'm gonna say it because of who

743
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: we are. Okay, is I still think we have to

744
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: pound them? Okay, I think we have to pound that bubble.

745
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Be ready to cut it back now. It's going to

746
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: be really fun to watch. As you said, you chronicle

747
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: this already. We're the number two rushing team in the

748
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: National Football League at five one, and they're the number

749
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: three defensive team versus the rush with a three eight,

750
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: So you know, this is kind of a battle of

751
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: the strength. But I think for us to be good,

752
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: for us to go deep into playoffs, we have to

753
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: stay running back centric and we've got to keep them

754
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: off balanced because what they're doing now, all of a sudden,

755
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: that push rush is there. Got Brian back, they got

756
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: Alan going, they got smooth going, Chason have skill. So

757
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: you you know that their strength. You don't want to

758
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: let them just get their ears back, you know, throw

759
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: the ball fifty times a game and let them play

760
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: to their strength. You got to keep them honest, and

761
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: I think I think you can make them look bad.

762
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: I think that you can take that number three stat

763
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: and get after it. And you know, at the same

764
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: and at the same time we want Jonathan and Haines

765
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: carrying to football. I think you can play action to

766
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: death because one thing they do, as they told you

767
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: on first down, they like to fire those safeties or

768
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: fire the nickel, or they play a cover four. So

769
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: when you do those two things, you're really only playing

770
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: with three guys in the underneath zone. You're avoiding a

771
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: zone kind of where you're matching. And so any time

772
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: that you play action, you're only dealing with three guys underneath,

773
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: so they are really vulnerable. This is where that passing

774
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: statistic goes in the toilet for them, is you can

775
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: get over the middle because they're flying to that ball.

776
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: They're flying to stop that run, and that play action

777
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: is there with any kind of freeze at all, you

778
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: freeze those three guys underneath protected boom, you're there. And

779
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: also I kind of associate also on those downs, those

780
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: swings and those screen passes. See to me, a swing

781
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: pass to Taylor is better than a sweep because you

782
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: spread the defense and nobody's running to the ball. They're

783
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: they're all rushing the pass. Or now you throw it

784
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: to him. He beats one guy. Now now the secondary

785
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: guys have to make business decisions and they don't want

786
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: any anything about him. All right, number three And this

787
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of goes like I's talked about. We have to

788
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: make sure we have a plan for Chinault and critical

789
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: situations on the other side of the ball. We can't

790
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: let Alan ruin the game. I mean, Alan is the

791
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: leading lady here. This is a guy with forty tackles,

792
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: five and a half sacks, eight tackles for losses, four

793
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: passes defended in one pick. So this doesn't take Albert

794
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: Einstein to figure out, do not let him beat us,

795
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna move him around. Primarily he plays on

796
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: their right side, but by certain looks he'll come over

797
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: to the left. So you've got to make sure that

798
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: you have him covered whichever side he's on. And he's

799
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: a good rusher, good player, one of the best I

800
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: would say all purpose guys because he can rush the

801
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: passer and yet he's pretty good drop true linebacker. He's

802
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: very very special guy, and we've got to make sure

803
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: that he's protected critical situations. Don't leave him a lot

804
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: of one on one And now you know with you know,

805
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: with Braden Smith again, you know, you know it's nothing

806
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: is definite yet, but you know, with him struggling, you know,

807
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: we go back to prior make sure, you know, and

808
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: I think prior has been serviceable, but you know, you

809
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: still when you get against a super player in the league,

810
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: you got to make sure you've taken care of it.

811
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,959
Speaker 1: I say, don't sleep on the other there's okay, because

812
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: they've got some guys that are that are pretty good too.

813
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: You know, Smoot number ninety one normally plays the power end.

814
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: He normally plays away from Alan. He can pop inside

815
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: some on their sinks. He has three and a half sacks.

816
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: He got one Sunday. He's another aggressive guy off the edge.

817
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: And the guy that came in I mentioned this to you,

818
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: Brian from Florida, who's been out with injuries. He came

819
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: back and he provided two sacks for him inside, so

820
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: they looked totally different. Chase On has not had the

821
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: big year, and of course they're trying to play him

822
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: kind of as a hybrid, kind of a Sam and Rusher.

823
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, he really should be playing where Alan is,

824
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: but he's not as good as Alan, so but he

825
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: also sometimes they'll get in a five man down line

826
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: where they'll kick Smoot down and Chase On on one

827
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: side and Alan on the other side. And just remember

828
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: chase On, even though he doesn't numbers, he has great

829
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: explosiveness off the edge, and he you know, he's not

830
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: a big power wresher, but he can run that edge.

831
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: So you have to really set good with him. And then,

832
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 1: as I said, you know when you need a play

833
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: I talked about play action on early downs. Now when

834
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: you get into passing downs, okay, they they are playing

835
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more too than normal. But still I

836
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: don't want to go after Griffin. I like Griffin. Now

837
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: Griffin is going to match up Pittman and that will

838
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: be a fun challenge to watch because you know, this

839
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: is probably going to be the best corner that Pittman

840
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: has run into, play after play after play where where

841
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: a guy actually matches him. Now that he is an

842
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: established number one, okay, and then but when in doubt,

843
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: and this is what we talked about the other day

844
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: on the roundtable, and I brought up the point we

845
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: have got to have somebody that can really shine now

846
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: as a number two, you know, and Pascal can be

847
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: that guy on certain stuff. If somebody's got to come

848
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: in because you want to go after Campbell, the rookie,

849
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: the kid from Georgia, to go after the two corner.

850
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna line up opposite away from Kitman. You gotta

851
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: go after him. He's the liability. He's going to be

852
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: a good player someday, but he's a liability. He's grabber

853
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: right now. He's not that guy, So you know, run

854
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: the ball, play action don't let Alan ruin, you don't

855
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: sleep on the other rushers, and when in doubt, you

856
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: go after Campbell. Those are the key issues there for

857
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: our offense. Rickman, Cherry, Matt Taylor right there. Part of

858

868
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: let's answer to that form Credit Union question of the

869
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: Week Jacksonville. There's a new head coach, first time rookie

870
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Urban Meyer respectively. Since the Common

871
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: Draft are end sixty seven, there's only been five teams

872
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 1: to make the postseason, whether rookie started qbing a first

873
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: year head coach who was the most recent duo to

874
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: accomplish that. That, of course, would be Chuck Pagano and

875
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Locke back in twenty twelve. Also on the list,

876
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan, Joe Flacco, and John Harbaugh

877
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,319

Speaker 1: the Colts Forum Credit Union helping members live their financial dreams.

881
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: Right now, Lara Overton from the Radio Network and somebody

882
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: off front defensively in Taylor Stalworth. That's your conversation right now,

883
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: Lara joined by defensive lineman Taylor Stalworth. And this is

884
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: actually as close as you can possibly get to Taylor

885
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: without him tackling you to the turf, because this guy

886
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: is coming off single game career highs in both tackles

887
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: for loss and sacks that Thursday night primetime game at

888
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: Lucas Little Stadium against the Jets. Stallly, so great to

889
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: have you in studio. It's not thank you for having me,

890
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great one. You came in last

891
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: season twenty twenty, so we didn't get these opportunities to

892
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: do these type of things, and everything was virtual Now

893
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 1: you're really not only finding your fit within this defense,

894
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: but we actually get to know you a little bit better.

895
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: How much have you developed over the course of the

896
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: last year working within this defense, working alongside defensive line

897
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: coach Brian Baker. I say, my skills and my technique

898
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: ramasically improved from last year all the way into this

899
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: year with the amount of work that I put in

900
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: the all season, you know, with the fours, with being

901
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: over there in Vegas training within him guys, also coming

902
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: back training with Robert Mathis saying, you know, Chris Williams,

903
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: Tai Kwon I so jets, and then all that work

904
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: just transitioned to when we came back in you know,

905
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: on coach Mega, he does a great job with us

906
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: every single day, you know, make sure that our alignment

907
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: technique and just make sure we have the right key

908
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: to go out there and ask you every single play.

909
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: This is a group of big guys, but also really

910
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: big personalities and one of the most fun things to

911
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: watch on game day is a situation like when you

912
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: get a sack or DeForest or you know whoever it

913
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: might be. Growth coming back and watching you guys celebrate.

914
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: How much do you guys feed off of the guy

915
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,719
