Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen runs down the keys for his team going up against the Cincinnati Bengals this week.
Transcript
00:00 Yeah, no, I think the one thing that stands out is they play tough and
00:04 they're a physical football team. You know, they had a big one obviously
00:07 Monday night. Quarterback played really good. I believe it was what 32 or 37. He
00:12 was operating at a high level. They got a lot of weapons on offense. Obviously
00:16 Jamar Chase is a big time player. T Higgins and Boyd and then Joe Mixon in
00:21 the backfield. They got a lot of talent, so we got to be on it with our tape
00:26 study this week and just make sure we're all on the same page and not give up the
00:30 explosives to those guys. And then defensively, good front, really good front.
00:35 They play hard again. Like I said, they're physical. They play together as a group.
00:39 I got a lot of respect for, you know, Coach Taylor and their D coordinator, what
00:43 they're doing over there. And they get their guys ready to play every week.
00:48 With the 41-inch rink, do you have to worry about keeping these guys grounded? You've done a lot, but you've really not done anything yet, sort of?
00:55 Yeah, I think it focuses on what you can control and the focus is on this week.
01:00 We've won four in a row, but no one cares anymore. It's all about
01:05 this week and that's where our focus is at, is on Cincinnati. We got to have,
01:08 you know, basically tunnel vision on Cincinnati Bengals. Not worry about
01:12 anything. Obviously we know that we can control our own destiny, but it doesn't
01:17 matter because we got to handle business on Sunday.
01:21 Do you show your guys the playoff standings? No. Why not? Because they probably see it anyways. It's all over the place.
01:30 You don't see any need to emphasize it? No.
01:32 I thought you were going to give some really smart answers. No. That was your chance, man.
01:36 Yeah, no.
