COLTS 40, RAIDERS 6: Reaction with Sam Frick & Michelle Garmon (2.50.1) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

• 0:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report Colts fans after a 40-6 victory over the Raiders that takes the Colts to 4 and 1.
• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sam Frick of A and E.C.
• 0:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sports is here to react to the game with me.
• 0:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And how do you react to that?
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: Man, I mean, we were talking about a bounce bet, but this was more than a bounce bet.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: This was a complete beat.
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think there might have been a murder reported in Indianapolis today.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: That is how good, that's how good the cold offense was today against the Las Vegas Raiders of 46 win.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: But we talked about it.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: When we recap the Rams Day, we said for the Coles are really coming out on top of this.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: They need to come out really just guns blazing against the Raiders.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: Just a way that that last game kind of slipped away in our fingertips, the way I don't any Mitchell played poorly in that game.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: And the last time we saw them, they've been Howard on the field defense.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: We needed a bounce bat and we got it in the biggest way possible.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: Day on Jones through for 69% completion.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: 20 of 29 passing 2 TD passes no pits this time around so that's good for him and then John of the Taylor's 66 rushing yards 3 TDs.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: I thought Josh downs played well behind him.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that was a good game for him and I'll say this on defense.
• 1:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: While the defense wasn't perfect early on for the Colts, it did step up in key moments and I thought Grover Stewart really set the tempo.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: in the football game.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: The stats are not going to show you that, but he had a key deflection to allow Lot to get the pick, and I think he really just kind of set the tempo against a, I won't say a pretty inferior Raiders offensive line, and Dino Smith had a terrible game for the Raiders.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: I thought I was a really good football game all around for the Colts.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: Other than the Fats, we did suffer another injury with Spencer Schrader, our cater going down, but we'll talk about that later on.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I just also want to remind everybody that later this week, probably Thursday, we will have our Colts report where we will break down the film and braid or assess every part, every facet of the game today, right now, it's a immediate reaction and my immediate reaction, Sam was that after the first quarter, I was a little nervous.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a three and out to start the game that never happens with the Colts.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was a little concerned.
• 2:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't, of course, at the end of the first quarter, they were on the goal line.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it wasn't like, because they were down through to nothing.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was that concerning.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I thought this might be a really good game.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I had said to Susie, I picked the calls to win by six.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's kind of where it's headed.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then the second and third quarter's happened in A was mere perfection.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't the greatest of starts early on, but I think you saw them in a really kind of moving, going towards second quarter, and then obviously the colds game that touched that was huge.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: And one not really just kind of getting that lead and really just jumping on the Raiders after that, I think it was key in that game.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: Even when we were up,
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: 14 to three.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: I never quite felt like we were like super in really good shape really until until we got that that pick and then we score after that.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's where I feel like okay, I think we got this in the bag.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: But it took a little bit for the cool to get going and so
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: Again, I think it just shows just how well the offense is looks so far.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: And Greg, we can't really criticize the offense aligned too much today.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: Either the offense aligned looks fan-flip-and-tastic today.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe just as well as it did a week one.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: They looked amazing.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: They completely controlled that game.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: from start to finish.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember Daniel Jones ever getting pressure.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not much.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Jonathan Taylor was down the field.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And again, I want to point this out one more time when talking about the offensive line.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of this is scheme upright.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're given the offensive line and every chance to succeed because they're keeping defenses off balance.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're doing different things with the line,
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're giving them every chance to succeed, but it's doing nothing, but succeeding.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: And today, Gonzalves was so good, so good.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: We needed him so badly.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: After the after what happened last week, good to see him back on the field.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just want to point out that there are four and oh, when Matt Gonzalves is in the lineup.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he is that good.
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that he might be a difference maker.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, man was he good today.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome, Michelle Garmin, sports editor of the Tipton Tribune and L. Wood Colleater.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michelle Sam and I had just gotten started talking about the colds domination.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: A bit of a slow start.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was a little concerned after the first quarter.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the second and third quarters other than Defender slipping for the colds on a 50 yard pass.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was almost perfection.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I still think that I still think there's areas.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Come on, eh, that's going in 40 to nothing and the second and third quarters don't give me, eh.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know, but the raiders are, I guess, what I'm saying about this last week, they're not wobble.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're not wobble, but there, there's,
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're the raiders of this year and they're okay.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying there are still things that they need that they need to keep your work on.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: This was a great game.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've been very good, they've been very good at home.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Can't believe they closed the roof again today, but on our tax payer dollars going to waste when we go to those counties that we get taxed on all the time.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, you know, I'll score any NFL team 40 to nothing over two quarters.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, there's still areas.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they still gave up some chunk.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: They still gave up some chunk plays.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: There were still some things, but I thought they were good.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: You were talking about skiing, Greg, and I think the most important part is the scheme is being successful for that offensive line.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: And part of it is getting the ball out of general, Jones is in very quick.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: When you do that, your line doesn't really have to block for long periods of time, which is really good.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Excellent.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It has been excellent.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: The gaming.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And also you have to, with the defense when your offense is doing that, moving the ball like that and scoring.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: The defense, it makes it easier on the defense because they know pretty much is going to be, they're going to face 90 percent pass.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: much of a lead.
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: So that does make it easier to scheme defensively too.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: So the offense of success has been key for both sides of the football.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: By the way, I want to clarify the Raiders think there, but they're not completely worthless.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, they're not completely worthless.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think what
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know about you guys, but overall, I'm not really impressed with what I've seen in the NFL this year.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: I agree.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: I thought downs looked really good in doing as well in key portions.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think that's the thing about the Colt is like, you know, as I was listening to you Michelle, we were talking about the start for the Colt and it's like, you know, we talked about, you know, how many wins were the Colt and I said the key thing about the Colt was if we can build a Dutch start to the season, especially as we get to the
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: more of those road trip.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Remember, the front half of the schedule is a lot of home games.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to get a lot of road games coming up.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Getting that type of start is huge for a team like the tools with a lot of moving pieces a little bit here and there, new quarterback and now you got doubts coming in, Dylan, starting to get some looks here and not mind you, Alok Pierce is not playing right now.
• 8:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: So getting those guys, the reps and some confidence of their own, I think it's just only going to build the depth of the colds.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I think like a Michael Pettman and Daniel Jones, that is a match made in heaven that we did not see coming whatsoever.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: I really like what I've seen from Jones and Pitman from that standpoint.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: I want to also mention the special teams I thought were pretty good as well.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: And that's normally not a huge strength for us.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: But I thought today it was definitely noticeable, especially the block punt that helped us set up for that, what was it the third or fourth score of the game for us?
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: first in goal and whatnot, that was a key play right there for the cold.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: So I thought there were just, there were a couple of key moments I thought were good for the colds now to be fair, they were playing the raiders and they're not a very good football team, especially on the offensive line.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: They have a lot of issues, but at the end of the day, I think it's just building those wins and building stacking up the good things for the colds is going to be huge, especially as we start playing in Houston, have to start playing Jacksonville, we're going to start playing in Seattle and whatnot,
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: later down this season, it's important to get the building blocks necessary, especially coming off a sloppy game against Los Angeles.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: And we talked how many times about the turnovers, how many times about the penalties.
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: And the penalties were noticeable at times, but you can tell from last week to this week, the coach really cleaned up the penalties today.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I thought the biggest difference to me was the offensive line was way sharper this time around than it was in LA.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the weapons are really good and I've been saying they have a really good set of weapons except they don't have an elite wider silver and the truth is after the last couple weeks, they might have to with more and in Pippman, Pippman has looked incredible.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: He is that he is that volume, go to receiver that I think we've just called fans have envisioned for a while, and I think they're starting to maximize that potential and it's crazy enough that we talked about where the colds quarterback situation was coming into season and who knew that it took Daniel freaking Jones to to maximize this potential and we're seeing that today.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: And again, we're gonna talk more about what went wrong and what went right on the culture report.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to say that they're just not good enough up front on defense.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know that they did a really good job today, but a lot to and Quity Pay and those guys are just not good enough.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's just, it's not the best frontline in the NFL.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want to make me think of it, Sam,
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, man, if you could somehow get him in a trade, get him in those blue white sweaters, please.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: It would be the biggest acquisition in years on defense.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's just a difference maker and they just don't have any up front.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: They just don't.
• 10:54
  [UNKNOWN]: That's right.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: But hopefully, can he more comes back soon, too, because I think he helps our secondary a lot.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, they got him in the defense of backfield, I think they got four or five playmakers back there, but they're kind of all alone.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: The players in front of them against good teams are just going to get beat.
• 11:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have a question for you.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: First, well, as our offensive line has been playing, and I do think it does help at home.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: They go on to row places somewhere like Seattle work.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's really, really loud.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: How do you think that affects?
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because I know that can kind of slow down and it becomes not necessarily, can you hear the snap count and everything and guys get off the ball slower.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Does that make a big difference?
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: You think?
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think about New Orleans when they were good, and the super dome was loud, and it's you could barely hear what's going on in the field because the fans and New Orleans were just so loud.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: I know that because I know someone that does the same schemes, they say it is definitely loud when that place is bad.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it could have a huge effect on the offensive line, be able to read plays and be able to follow the count and whatnot, so yeah, I do think it makes a difference.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: So that's what I think it'll be interesting when they do go to some of those tougher louder environments.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now I don't know that Jacksonville offer really offers a loud environment, but Texas, yeah.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about that.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have the Cardinals at home and that's another one that if you're as good as we think you are, you should win.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: But not easy.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: You go to the Chargers, not one of those loud environments, but getting louder as they start to win.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then you have the Titans at home and then you go to Pittsburgh and those are the kinds of
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and especially into the leads and you go you can start going to Pittsburgh when it's not is a louder and if you make those trips to Pittsburgh or Kansas City knowing when it when there have the last stadiums but the when the weather gets a little bit colder and everything it's going to be it will be interesting because the lines going to be huge because those are the kind of games that yeah you can throw the ball, but you really need to make sure
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're running game gets going and I'll tell you what.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought you talked about the line but I also thought Jonathan Taylor was sensational.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: He he's so good at reading the whole room and when to cut back.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean he had just reading.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's he gets he's more impressive every year he plays.
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: So good.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: And go and kind of pull me back to Michelle's point as we get to those Pittsburgh games and the Kansas City Seattle.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to start playing tougher defenses as well.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: And so the key thing is that if our offense is going is not going to be this go to every week.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to have challenges at some point in the season.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: be able to get points on board, I think L.A.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: was kind of the first test of that.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: So this is where the importance of getting some help on defense is going to be huge as we start getting to the tougher games ahead, because when we made those crunches, I said, the bad cap of the schedule was going to be the hardest for me because you got to travel more, you got to play more of this tougher teams on the Rona whatnot.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's where a dialectary Henderson could make an absolute
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's what happened with Green Bay when they picked up my deparce.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: It changed the entire dynamic of the Green Bay packers in one trade.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's the type of trade that holds desperately need of front.
• 14:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I think right now, as we keep stacking up the winds and we stacked up a minimum, I think the talks of making them move on defenses are going to grow even louder amongst the fans and Indianapolis.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: By the way, Michelle, I don't want you to think that we think that Tray Hendrickson is as good as Micaparsons, because we don't know, that's where I am.
• 14:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's what the cults need.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the cults need that.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Sam and Michelle for joining me to talk about another impressive cults win.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what she was talking about, what the... 40 to nothing over two quarters, I don't care who you're playing.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is near perfection in the NFL.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: But we will have more and I will be talking about some of the things that they need to correct, the things that they need to improve, as well as the plethora of positives coming out of this game on Thursday's Culture Report, and we will preview Colts and Cardinals on Friday and react to the game on Sunday.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for listening, please do us a huge favor and share this podcast with the cults fan in your life.
