00:00The Indianapolis Colts taking in a majority of their handle for this afternoon's matchup.

00:07They need to get back to the run according to Joey P. That means Jonathan Taylor, 71

00:11and a half is the number, over or under on that for his rushing yards.

00:16I think this is an over and I think it's one where it's necessary.

00:20If you're Shane Steichen, you have to say, what went wrong last week?

00:23I think you just got to get Jonathan Taylor in the football more, take a little bit more

00:26pressure off Anthony Richardson.

00:28You should have done it last week on the road.

00:30I think you might have gotten a better result.

00:32Unfortunately, you're on to week three, you live and learn and Shane Steichen's a good

00:37lesson learner.

00:38He's a smart coach.

00:39It's good offensive line to run the football.

00:40I think they get home, they get back to running the football.

00:42Pittman's going to play in this game.

00:44He was not 100% either.

00:45You're going to get Josh Downs back in this game.

00:47So if you give Richardson a good support system of rushing the football, I think that opens

00:52up the play action.

00:53It opens up a lot more for Richardson to do.

00:55You simplify the looks for him.

00:57That's what you want at the end of the day.

00:58If you run those play actions with young quarterbacks, you know, okay, this is my first look right

01:02after that play action.

01:03It gets simple for them.

01:04They get in a rhythm.

01:06That's what you want to establish with Anthony Richardson to build his confidence a little

01:08bit.

01:09So you're in a good spot here.

01:10And I think Taylor has touched on equity always, especially in this game today, especially

01:14in this matchup.

01:15So I look for Taylor to be pushing closer to that hundred total than the 71 and a half.

01:20I think that's just a necessity for this game here.

01:23If you're going to win.

01:24And I think getting back home in that building is a good thing for them and for Taylor.
