 Yeah, again, some guys back. We'll see where they go. You know what I mean? Kyle's in a return to play and got an exemption for Nick. And we'll start working Peter back in there and kind of see how everybody goes throughout the week. The same thing that everybody else sees. I mean, he's big, he's fast, you know. He's willing, and he knows where the goal line is. He knows where to, the first down, what he needs to get to, you know. So it'll be a huge challenge, not only out in the field for those plays that they designed, but also, you know, the kind of the closer you get to the goal line. I mean, it just makes you to defend everybody, you know. If it's a run action, you have to, a running back, somebody's got a responsibility for the quarterback. Somebody's got a responsibility for the two receivers. The relief, you know, throws that they can make off of it. Which you have to defend. Was there a good thing after, you know, Richardson's already played three or four games. I think he missed one. But good thing to see him now that there's a little bit of film out of him, since you've never played against him before? Well, I mean, it's always good to see, you know, have some tape. I'm sure they'll have some new designs and some things off of some different plays. It's kind of what they do. Being able to build and design off stuff that they do. Certainly been able to score and take advantage of the turnovers that they've had and been really good in the red zone. I guess with Nick and Peter, are they kind of in the same boat as far as trying to build their conditioning and stamina and all that back? And is that something you will monitor them through the week on? No, I mean, Nick's been able to probably work a little bit more than Peter has. So we'll see where they both are. But Nick's been able to kind of work through, even though he hasn't been here. Peter had a little bit of a break. Do you feel like you guys made it? A step with the tight end blocking last week, and can you advance it from there and now with Kevin in the mix as well? You know, everybody will have to block really well against the Colts. They have a bunch of good edge defenders that they play. They roll through really good in the middle. So everybody will have to block well. Is it tougher to prepare for the possibility of Jonathan Taylor not having seen him in that specific offense yet, or is he somebody who you kind of know what you're going to get if he plays? I would say that most of the runs that Jonathan Taylor will have, you know, for the most part, I don't think you're going to change the quarterbacks' roll, right? So we've seen him run outside zone, seen him run inside zone, seen him run, you know, gap scheme, seen him run inside zone from the gun, outside zone, like he's good, he's fast, he's tough to tackle. So whatever the quarterback does after that, if he pulls it, you know, that's on somebody else, but he's a good, very good player, excellent player. So we've seen all those runs that he probably would be doing. And with Moss, I mean, does that add another piece to that puzzle? Runs hard. Runs really hard, and it's been a good addition for him. He's a strong runner. As you look to defend, Richard, you say it's discipline for the most important thing when it happens? Well, I think discipline, communication, understanding the call and changing things up on them, you know, based on zone or man, and making sure that, you know, sometimes it's not designed either. It's third down or first to second, pat, drop back, and, you know, there's not rushed discipline, and he's able to pull it down and gain yards and make first downs. Well, I think it's, you know, it's a great opportunity to go on the road. You know, I think for all of us that are trying to, you know, just improve and do, you know, ultimately win our division, you're gonna have to win a couple of these on the road. And so I do think it's a great opportunity. You know, everybody's bunched up in there. It's early, but great opportunity. How much of a challenge does Europe Franklin pose, a guy who's really seemed to ascend the last couple of years or so, or what does he present for the offense in terms of just dealing with him, knowing where he is? Yeah, he better block him. He plays with speed and violence. He's a very, very good player. You know, he gets to the ball in a hurry, he gets there and wants to play with some violence and a lot of respect for him as a player. You know, him and Shaq and EJ, you know, a lot of speed, a lot of athleticism, their ability to try to get the football out. So, you know, we'll have to make sure that we block those guys. You guys have had such success in the division the last couple of years, and obviously that's huge to get to the playoffs. What's, what do you think's been the consistency in the division? Just trying to play well, trying to do things that help us take care of the football, you know, control, you know, be good in the red zone, get some stops, play complimentary football and not do things that hurt us in, you know, close games, which most of these divisional games are. Those are all your monsters. You think you've been better at those against these teams with consistency than you have maybe. I mean, whatever the record says, I don't know, I know that we're two and two this year and haven't played a division game. You put him back there, not returning, and then what are your expectations, just offensively for him? I guess consistency, maybe one? Well, just seeing where he is physically, making sure, you know, that the, that the route running and the conditioning and you know, have an opportunity to catch points throughout the week and you know, see where that is at the end of the week and excited to have him back out there on the practice field. Well, we had 21 yarder last week, so hopefully if he can do better than that, we block better. You know, I don't think that that's been, you know, awful by any means who's ever been back there. You know, we want to try to create some explosive plays in that phase. If we can get the gunners held up and give guys some space and do it all without penalties. I think that would be great. What's made Danico Autry, even 10 years in the league, still such a productive guy on the defensive line? I don't think he's always been a productive, instinctive player going back to, even when he was coming out, as a player that I remember looking at and seeing and, he's got a lot of pride in what he does and how he prepares and how he plays. And he's been an instinctive player when we played against him in, in Indy and then since he's been here. Brought up at this level and was that something more for a colleague like you? Well, I mean, I think that there's a lot of familiarity between us and the Colts and their style of play, a lot of respect for them and what they do. You know, so you have to play well in the division and you have to win those games. Those are critical if you, if you ultimately want to, want to win and be in the playoffs and host playoff games. So, we understand the importance of it and how critical it is at this, this early in the season going on the road. Were you looking at your tight ends like Adikoff, Granson, the way they used them, how much of a challenge is that for them? Well, they've got, you know, basketball style, you know, frames, they're athletic, good catch radius. I would say that their quarterbacks have been finding them sometimes and even the other day for a huge play, you know, kind of extended the play and was able to find, you know, Moe and he's always, you know, played well, I think, against us and he's been able to go up and get to football and I think for the quarterback there, they're really good targets. Who's not practicing? My Birks won't be out there. I don't think Tart will be out there. I don't think Gifford will be out there. Yeah, no question. The more healthy guys we can have battling to get on the field and competing to make our team better is going to be a good thing. Gifford looks another one of those guys too. What does he maybe bring? What's your, I guess, communication and where you guys as far as being on the same page? Yeah, Kyle's done a great job. We know whenever he's been healthy for us, obviously he has the agility and quickness on the inside, great feel for getting himself open underneath and I've just been dealing with some injuries, unfortunately. So, you know, look to work him back in, see how things progress this week, but talk to him, he said he feels good and we'll see where things go. Brian, we're seeing the quick one, it's not just on play action, but what is it, is it just opportunities or just an intent to get vertical? What's your goal? Yeah, I mean, when you get matchups down the field and looks you like, you want to be able to take a shot. So, to credit to our guys outside of winning those matchups and giving opportunities to put the ball down the field and then, you know, a lot of them, you know, take a little bit longer to get off. So, giving the offensive line credit for giving me time to get it off. Brian, those looks that you like though, is that stuff that you've been seeing during the week or like in live action as the game can play it out? It's a little bit of both, you know, sometimes, you know, you have a concept or a call, you think you're gonna push the ball down the field and then sometimes just kind of the way it works out in the game that, hey, you know, this wasn't really the primary progression or primary read in the throw in the play, but, you know, you have a matchup you like and a lick you like, so you give it a shot down the field. The Colts have a rookie quarterback, obviously, first round pick, immediate starter in Richardson. You lived that life once upon a time. What was the biggest? Yeah, once upon a time, that's been a while. We all feel that. What was the biggest challenge you went through in being a rookie starter in this league? It has been a long time. But yeah, you're learning a lot, you know, I think every situation's different, but, you know, you're learning the speed of the game, you're learning your offense, teammates, you know, how things are done, all those things. So it's definitely a lot of information, a lot of new, but obviously he's extremely talented and he made a bunch of big plays already. On Kyle, Ryan, are there any particular situations where you think that he could really help this offense? Yeah, I mean, Kyle does a great job, like I said, of getting himself open underneath. He has that quickness and agility and a great feel for some open space and just that spatial awareness. So, you know, we'll see where he's at, but if he is able to go out, I definitely think he'll help us. Chemistry or thing like that? Is it just reps or is there something you guys have to do behind the scenes to kind of get back into the swing of this? I think it's both, you know, I think it's communicating, you know, right? You may not, you're not going to see every look in practice, but able to talk through the different looks on tape and then take advantage of the few reps that you do get in practice. What do you think you guys have been able to have such great success in the division in the last couple of years? I mean, they're big games, right? Obviously games, you want to win them all, but the division games, you know, have a little bit more in them and obviously a good team, right? You look at Indianapolis, they've been good over the past several years. They played us tough just about every time we've played them. So, we know we're going to have to be on top of our game and play for four quarters. What do Josh Wiley like because he's kind of tried to find his footing here as a rookie and how much of, I think maybe a game like Sunday could help give him some confidence to continue success. Yeah, I'd love to see Josh build on Sunday, you know, made some plays for us. You know, seeing him come along in practice as the weeks have gone on, as he's gotten healthy and, you know, it's great to see him have success in the game and made some huge plays. So, he's a talented guy. He's long. He's athletic. If we can get him the ball, it's going to be a good thing for us. And blocking took a big step on Sunday and showed where it could maybe get? Yeah, I think our blocking as a whole, you know, took a step forward. You know, you look at what the tight ends did, what the offensive line did, had receivers finishing down the field. It was more of the way we want to play as far as physical finish, you know, just being a team that's going to play until the whistle and finishing those blocks down the field, trying to keep the ball carrier clean all the way down the field. You know, you look at this team that we're playing, a team that's going to try to hunt the ball. You see him punching at the ball, raking at the ball, you know, so it's going to be crucial that we can keep our guys off of the ball carrier and finish those blocks. There's some that say you're probably one of the best at play action fakes. Where was this kind of developed? Is there any point in your career where you're like, okay, I can do this pretty well? You just work at it. I know you don't really, I don't think about it like that. You know, I just work at doing whatever I can to improve, you know, and obviously, you know, when we were running the ball and finishing the runs and things like that, then if you're able to execute those play action fakes while you get the backers to step up and open up some things downfield. Brian, it's not uncommon that you guys play better at home for two games than you have on the two games on the road. What do you take into what you've learned about what's going on with you guys on those two little losses ended this weekend? Yeah, we have to just play better than we have on the road. You know, we haven't executed well. We've put ourselves in tough situations. You know, first game was turnovers in long yardages and Cleveland was long yardage situations and third long throughout the game. You know, if we can keep ourselves in third and manageable, we feel pretty good about converting. So being efficient on the first second down, being able to sustain drives throughout the game, I think it's gonna be crucial. Yeah, Andre Hopkins has become a guy that you've been looking for a lot. It seems on third down. How helpful is it to have somebody like that and the connection you both have built pretty quickly? Yeah, he's made some huge plays. You know, I don't think it's not like stat blowing numbers, but huge plays within the game. You know, I think the first one was a big play down the field on third down kind of sparked us, right? As we went down and swore and finished that drive some other crucial third down conversions that he got for us. So just that matchup ability for him to win is one-on-one matchup and find some space on crucial downs and sustain drives has been huge for us so far and hopefully we can keep building on it. How about the fact that he was able to get down the field for a couple of throws? There was the one on the flea flicker that was, you know, barely incomplete and then there was that one that you referenced that he made because how important to get him involved down the field as well as on possession throws? Yeah, I mean, he can make plays all over. You know, you look at, you know, plays down the field or underneath, you know, I think we've kind of hit him all over the field, whether it be a, you know, short slant route or a fade ball. He mentioned the big post over the top, some crossing routes we've hit him on, you know, so he's a complete receiver and we're able to, you know, try to get him the ball wherever. Of course, any big post will go good if you guys execute it, but as far as Tim Kelly is concerned with the play calling that he's doing, how is he setting you guys up for success? He's doing a good job. I think he's done a great job of getting a feel throughout the game of a win to call things, you know, hit on some perfect timing, you know, of hitting those calls and that's what you want is a caller to not only put in a good plan, but being able to have a feel for win to dial things up. And he's done a great job of that so far. Can't say enough about the job he's done. I want to hear some conversations with the line during the course of the week when you guys are watching film or reading or whatever. Are there certain times or certain plays might jump out to you that you might say to him, I'd love to run this? Yeah, of course. I mean, we work on the plans together, you know, we'll look at the initial things, you know, put things in and then kind of talk through them. Hey, I like it on this. And as the week goes on, you know, have a meeting on Friday and kind of go through the whole plan and say, hey, you know, I like, I like this shot and this situation. You know, he has his ideas. I have my ideas and kind of put those together and come away with a great feeling of when things are gonna get called. And it gives me a lot of confidence going into the game knowing that we're on the same page. You had some really big numbers last week against the Blitz. What kind of things did you guys do to them? Like, what do you feel like was behind that for you? Really perfect numbers last week. Guys were getting open and had some time to get the ball away. You know, you put those two things together and it's a good position to be in for the quarterback. Ryan, with the division, we're locked like it is. How are you guys discussing this opportunity at Indy and even though it's early, the ability to control a road yesterday? Yeah, I mean, it's super early in the season, but obviously a division game on the road, a game we really wanna go win. We know we're gonna be in for a tough battle against a good team, but obviously the division games meet a little more and just where the division's at, gotta take advantage of every opportunity you get. Consistency standpoint, you know, you guys, lost one, won one, lost one, won one, what would it take for you to be able to stack a couple of things together? The kind of things I talked about already, you know, just going out, being efficient, making some crucial plays in crucial situations, you know, whether it be on third down in the red zone, you know, two minute, four minute, whatever the case may be, you know, being able to play efficiently throughout the game, make some big plays in crucial situations, and obviously come away with a win. And as far as momentum is concerned, are you one to where you could carry the momentum from last week into this week, or do you build it up throughout the week? What's your approach? I think you gotta be able to, you know, build on the things you did well, right? You know, you understand the things that we did well, make that be consistently what we do, but then also what you did last week doesn't matter, you know, so, you know, you are trying to build on what you did last week and keep it rolling, but if you just rest on that, then it's not gonna happen. So you gotta come attack each and every week with a purpose and intently try to go make it happen. Ryan, what do you sell from Nick and who's your trust level with him? Which one? Westwood Keenan. Yeah, Nick's made some big plays for us. You know, obviously he's been so consistent over his three years here, I guess going up four now, with us, you know, just consistent day in and day out, we can move him all over, he does the dirty work for us, he can make plays down the field, you know, you see him finish a tough run on the touchdown, collision right at the goal line. So it's a guy I trust and we trust as an offense because he does so much for us. Can the shadows there be a factor? Is that something you're conscious of during the rematch? If it's open or closed or whatever, where the shadows are big on the ground? I don't think about a whole lot, just go play and deal with whatever the circumstances are. That's good. Thank you.
