10-31-08 Mankins, Watson, Welker

I was a smart Alec -- I -- Logan if this is is Halloween costume but they might get beat punch by and often well I don't know how big deadline if they were at their -- seven -- dressed up as a football player today he pertinent. One of those deals I don't but it didn't get ready for practice is that they pick you mean you don't just go around town awareness about. I usually make. Just of people understand what you guys do here on Fries. You have a walk through that was earlier to India and and you have a practice. On top of that and then we go on practice we Dolphins a practice against the defense work with the Colts do this than the the two minute Raiders. -- at some loose ends to some special team were. And get ready. Now we were talking last week and I was asked you about the Rams some of the defensive players he talked about La'Roi Glover you talked about Leonard Little. So we got the game you had a little different situation look at how did the absence of little affect you guys are effective.

Well it affected the O line where our right tackle then have to go against one of the premier rushers in the league where the they brought an objective which is -- nearly as good as little so that made his Dele nicer and it just helped the set is a line I think we did a better job this game a pass blocking. Especially the first three quarters at that we did a great job and then in the fourth quarter with a few slip of sort of we -- a couple -- pressures that. Now he held in there and there's a couple of times we give the pressures and he still delivered personable.

And speaking of delivering a perfect ball in my opinion this was -- best game by far even though he was offensive player of the week in the AFC the week before. Do you notice it did you notice how quickly. He got rid of the ball on this game as a as opposed to the previous games.

He he go to the ball when guys are open he got rid of it through to the guys that were open. And then sometimes he held the ball a couple times but we're able we he knew we had good pass protection at them only influence of he we waited till the play developed in the and threw the ball in the field and he would veto asking. -- around here as long some mostly you're here when Indianapolis was in the same division as the new entry it's. But it's sort of feels like extra alarm them -- B we play every single year ever since I've been here we've played every play them every year double times played them in the season than in the playoffs so. Is they're like they muzzled you know that is definitely when you're looking at film of them this year and and everybody's looked at their record and watch them play they're not. Quite the same. What's the big difference that you're saying why are they as effective. Offensively of what you've seen in the past from. Yeah I have a watch too much of him on offense I've only seen this the pilots that bills put up in the mornings of the score a lot of points and primary set. I haven't seen that the negative plays of -- violence in the good place so. It Ali shows you guys that play it's that they don't do anything bad ever doubt that any turnovers off. I don't know if they show the bad plays while the defense is in their own little meetings. When whereas the team he only says the good plays of the team so. I'm dissing Payton though in the -- in the field in. -- an index brick and ignorance.

It's pretty amazing when you look at the Colts. You can look at them from 200520062007. They have the same system and and and to prevent doing anything different this year than they were -- three years ago are.

Exactly the same on defense. The play the they don't give a big plays they make they keep everything in front of -- they make you go on long consistent drives and they're going to make you Biederman. That's would teen central with his consistently make enough plays play after play after play and they're going to make you do it and if you can't. If you can do that you know I'm going to be the what's the difference that Bob Sanders makes to their defense of big difference is that his is special player he makes a lot of tackles. He flies all over the field he reads plays quickly. And -- he's he's a major reason when they do said -- the runner the run running game he's. He's always fine and then making the tackle and he's supposed to and he does in this tournament. I mean usually has an offensive lineman. You know you're worried about block and a defensive lineman may be a linebacker sometimes have to worry about Bob Sanders still got you here every once in a well they usually he's the guy. That we can't account for we have the other seven and he's the one guy this -- in blocked in this way he makes -- when he tackles and because he's not usually in the no one's block and and so he just runs in -- and makes the tackle and that's what he -- supposed to do and he usually does it.

Now we know their defensive backs as you said they keep everything in front of them they're pretty much a zone defense for the most part. The defensive linemen they do a lot of games a lot of stunts up front.

I had -- they have a lot of speed so they are just running everywhere. Tees they're twisting all the time that. They're run inside decides that they have enough speed to where they could do things that other deep deep and the lance conducive. They're running up the field run and all the way around trying to come in the back to their. They have enough speed related to all kinds that's what Ortiz coming with that me that's with a tackle. Goes up the field and in the defense and in comes around behind him and comes up the middle of the puck is. Although although Ben says.

TDs. Passed through the TB that's where the team he has a did you guys diet and then you can answer this too because there are many times a year asked to block and not catch. Do you guys know. When that when the games are -- can you tell from a guy stance a cumulative to what he's trying to do.

Sometimes they they -- and you can see their stance that. The good players he can notices that they do so many of them you're bureau is aware that it's come and so you know is his.

Prepared forward I just -- you guys you know before we talk more football odds want to know who you have in your midst here Wes Welker just walked and and I tell you this guy's he's a frightening character. Is that disturbing I'm I'm I'm disturbed. I'm glad he's across the table Gladys and closing you do and I'm a little worried because he says I don't -- his teammates understand seeking missile know I'll -- know nothing Jarno got nothin' to do -- you'll you'll. I realize that irony of heat seeking missile when you -- thousand. Tony was for no out it was -- it was a false report what he was for how he won here dressed up.

For -- though -- and all of isn't printed -- it quite party yeah. Out about it. It's cool ask him what he was for following one year. And -- you -- Among in the yeah. -- Yeah just is a platter. It's yeah. It. We tapes and warned -- oh ops Colin. And and I mean like I've -- you lose you. You know where in their 83 hours one in the only -- tired and I had back to the United on this and no way man ought the present activities. Like the practice field -- to and.

Ago it would be Spider-Man that man Wes Welker went people who know what was tell me it was like twenty years now it was -- It's like. You're playing well it played for a Dolphins team that went a lot of -- it -- it -- about.

Like little bit more political bulletin yeah. I -- that. It's a good money across the table if you. Model year. So that I don't -- this guy and we we Rhode Island --

We're talking these guys but you know what the Colts do defensively. If it's any different than what you've seen him what you seen on film they -- same deal as they always -- are absolutely you know there they're fast you know keep -- from a fondled football. -- and mentality and and you know the rosters and of the field and in trying to pressure imports in the news some mistakes and and they do very double what they do in these agreements make sure that. You know yours or when the correct -- him -- an open ended -- needed.

Yes it is he's definitely a -- again this week day. Colin how they always are very fast team -- remember the biggest you know lob back -- view on a safety that you have received but there's. They may go forward disappear in the tenacity and -- get to the football so that's kind of there that's come toward the week you know speed.

we ask Logan earlier about you know the difference that a guy like Bob Sanders makes he's supposed to be back in their lineup the Sunday night. Is he guided you wind up having to pick up a lot of times because -- Logan said he might be that guy that the other they don't have planned for on the offensive here.

A lot of times I know a few years ago he really you know Q as you know common animals runs in common from the backs we have anybody you know to account form. But you know as definite that. When I'm in my blogs I've kind of got a makes on the Ortiz because he's he's definite difference maker he's. He's a safety but it plays -- back -- with some a lot of times a lot of times I think -- given the freedom economy the plays that he wants to make. If he sees it he has great instinctive he's able to come down here on and make a lot of plays in the bag you'll -- that.

to count for you guys have played them so much you get the sense that. You're incapable of surprising them and they are incapable of surprising you mean you pretty much know. What they're going to do.

We know what they're going to do and they know what you're monitored and for the most part they know we're gonna do so it comes down to who's gonna execute who's going to make the plays and that's usually what every game comes down to who's going to make more plays near the team. Last week another nice win for your team. But we saw a couple of things that just were so one characteristic we saw Randy drop the ball we saw you drop -- ball. I mean do you -- drops over the course of the year on one hand generally speaking I mean is it is that literally help. How infrequently it happens army and I hope to you know.

Drive muted during and they you know dress it up. Both others yeah. Sleep in and and things like that so. You just you know trying try to move on with bitten you know Maicer wouldn't you know -- books and Manning can't straighten in and make in the -- that has been there for three days off he's just coming out of opener -- I'm curious -- that I mean yeah. I I always figure you can have ten catchers in the game. -- at a drop that's what you think about all. No question. -- Paul's opinion -- You know the play outfield now on I mean there's a couple plays grows his slide -- in Tampa played you know monologue and so. -- them you yeah you know move on from -- and get better from it and and his. It.

I meant to ask you this a couple of on Logan and I want to thank -- stock and you. But I saw the car and in the lot and you had the special parking space. Along with Ty Warren Tedy Bruschi. NC Wes Welker and Watson -- In his two years I thought the person ahead that far it is just at the -- I have had parking lot is Wendell right out of out of Rubin. I get out of -- those eleven you hear it right where we did you notice you how to get.

That's for the offseason Award winners because of their positional group immediately it does it also I'm get swollen and -- word you're lifting and conditioning in the offseason I guess the coaches vote on there. Maybe Baylor would suggest that some guys I don't know how they come to the conclusion. Each different each position.

If it was if it was by talking with Matt Light win both pursued the and -- might get all the parties as little team we gotta get -- go to practice -- I appreciate rock thing I don't even want to know about after Halloween costume private party that was that the -- he doesn't want to know all the way out and I got a and shouted islands and all of the told him that are still a tough day. About tape recorder. It if it's just it's that means.

I'm thinking that his his invitation list just went down. That the fewer invitations in the box and their creativity though that's for sure. They gotta go practice which that we had to get them here.
