00:00 >> I mean, he flies around, he's a game wrecker.
00:02 You got four guys up front that make it easy for him, but
00:04 he's another guy we're gonna face this week.
00:06 Probably face him weekend and week out, from here on out.
00:09 So, guy we gotta definitely make sure we know where he is on the field.
00:12 >> We didn't see Jamel Dean when we were out there at least.
00:16 And I know Levante was there, it seemed like a light practice.
00:19 Can you tell us who was able to go or where those guys stand right now?
00:23 >> If it was a game today, probably Levante, Devon, and Dean,
00:26 I would say wouldn't have played.
00:29 And we'll see how the week goes with their injuries.
00:32 >> And so that being said, I know some of the young guys got to play last week,
00:37 but you've got KJ, you've obviously got Srovacic.
00:41 So do they both play, which one steps in?
00:45 >> They both will play.
00:46 We have different packages where they both will play,
00:48 where it's not too much on their plate.
00:49 >> Tony said they wouldn't go today.
00:52 Is it reasonable to say then that none of the three right now would require
00:56 a playing injury reserve, would just be a week to week type thing?
00:59 >> I'm not a doctor, I will say right now no, but we'll see how the week goes.
01:03 >> No, they wouldn't be, right?
01:04 >> Right.
01:05 >> And cornerback opposites, like assuming Dean and Davis don't go,
01:10 you've got Zion O'Connell, obviously he's a starter.
01:12 Would you deploy D Delaney or
01:16 would you continue to give Josh Hazel a look at their career?
01:19 >> Give Hazel a look, Isaac has been ready, Pence has been ready.
01:22 We're giving quite a few guys looks and moving quite a few guys around right now.
01:26 So by the end of the week, we'll have the combination that we want.
01:30 But they all get playing time.
01:32 >> What stands out to you about this Colts team?
01:34 >> Very disciplined.
01:37 Obviously, we know they have a great offensive line,
01:39 the running backs, both of them are very good.
01:42 Big receivers, other than downs, who's quick and fast and
01:45 makes a lot of plays himself.
01:47 Very aggressive up front on defense, they kind of get off the ball very fast.
01:50 Linebackers run and hit like you said.
01:53 The secondary, they all have vision on the ball and
01:56 if you make a mistake, they're gonna make you pay.
01:57 >> You look back at the three and one start,
02:01 you guys were plus seven in turnover margin, takeaways were a big part of it.
02:05 The team is minus one in the six games since.
02:09 You've still done a pretty good job of limiting your own giveaways, but
02:12 why do you think there's been a drop off in the takeaways,
02:15 the active turnover aspect of your defense?
02:17 >> We gotta get them, they come in bunches and they go in bunches.
02:20 We're still trying to punch the ball up, we're still trying to get picks.
02:23 People are taking better care of the football, but those are telltale signs for
02:27 games, we gotta, in order for us to win and win handily, we gotta get turnovers.
02:31 >> Chris Godwin, the top five in terms of picking up first downs and
02:38 a third down conversion.
02:39 What makes him just kind of stand out a lot in the third moments?
02:43 >> He's just elusive.
02:45 A lot of guys can't catch him in traffic.
02:47 He can catch him in traffic with hands in his face and
02:50 guys hanging on him and doing those type of things.
02:52 He's one of those guys that can do that, and those guys are special in converting
02:56 third downs that way, if you put it anywhere near him,
02:59 he has a very good chance of coming down with the ball.
03:01 >> How good are his hands?
03:02 He hasn't had a drop this year.
03:04 >> They've been great.
03:05 I mean, they've always been great, but
03:06 without saying he had a drop this year, that's outstanding.
03:09 >> Tug, you've been around Mike Evans now since 2019.
03:13 When you look at him at age 30, he's having a piece for
03:16 another thousand yard season.
03:18 Have you seen any drop off during the time?
03:22 >> Not a good question to ask him, when did this turn 60?
03:24 >> [LAUGH] >> No, I haven't seen any drop off.
03:29 >> [LAUGH] >> 30's a good age for him.
03:32 I think he's in his prime right now.
03:34 I haven't seen any drop off, though.
03:36 >> Have you had any drop off, Eric?
03:37 >> [LAUGH] >> I've probably dropped down probably half
03:41 a second in my 40 times, walking fast and walking slow, but other than that, no.
