Upon further review, we've rewatched this Colts most recent preseason matchup with the Detroit Lions, and we'll tell you who really stood out in an underappreciated way. All that and much more on today's episode of Locked on Colts. Let's get to it. You are Locked on Colts, your daily Indianapolis Colts podcast. Part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day. All right, Colts fans, thanks so much for tuning in and making us your number one listen of the day. This is your daily podcast covering your Indianapolis Colts, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. I'm Jake Arthur, joined as always by my partner in crime, Zach Hicks.

On today's show, we're going to go over the Colts' most recent roster cuts, as well as the ones that they've still got to make by Tuesday afternoon's deadline and also Zach has poured over the coaches film from Saturday's loss to the Lions and he's going to tell us all about who's stuck out both good and bad so first just this this morning's news with the roster cuts the Colts have to be down the Colts specifically have to be down to 81 by Tuesday at 4 p.m. Eastern. They have that exception for Marcel Dabo, which that doesn't go into effect until next week. So they made two cuts today. They waived wide receiver DJ Montgomery and defensive tackle Savion Patton. And by my count, they're at 83, so they get down to 81. They have to, we should expect two more on Tuesday.

So obviously no big surprise there, Zach Montgomery, you know, he's another one of the veterans. It seems like even though he was, he did pretty well. It's another one of those. We'll give you a little extra time to go find a roster. Patton was just, you know, the Colts have shoot seven or five other guys competing behind the two starting tackles, and Patton, it was just a numbers game. He just wasn't in that mix, really. Yeah, I'm kind of hoping that this could signify the return of Chris Williams this week. Hopefully.

I mean, if Chris Williams just steps on the practice field, it makes him have a good chance of making this team again because the other guys have just not been as impressive so uh yeah saigon patton uh i mean we'll get into it with the film here but the defensive tackles did not play super well in this one uh he was definitely the worst one uh so i mean it makes sense to wave him uh they did give him a couple chances so i wouldn't be shocked if you know maybe later in the year uh he does get like a practice squad look or something like that with the Colts. They do like to do that with guys who they had in camp.

And then, yeah, like Montgomery, what you said, you know, a veteran receiver probably what plays into. I don't know how much the practice squad like rules change and stay the same from COVID. Like, honestly, I can't keep up with what all the practice quad rules are right now. So if you guys know them by, you know, like by heart right now, just please send me a message on Twitter or respond to me on Twitter. You know, who's going to know is going to be a Brent. Yeah. As you were talking, I was like, that sounds like a job for Brent right there.

Yes. So Brent, you know, hit me up, tell me all the practice squad rules so I can actually follow, but I'm guessing Montgomery probably wasn't eligible for the practice squad or there was something, or they just liked some of the other young guys better. I mean, honestly, I think, uh, Ethan Fernia is going to be a really prime practice squad guy for this team. So it just didn't make sense to keep Montgomery either. Yeah. I, I think, so I looked at it somewhat recently and i think you still can't have a couple veterans on there right where the the accrued time they've had in the nfl doesn't matter so he should be eligible i think okay uh so zach you know with with just a couple more cuts to make in the next

24 hours there's some prime candidates and it's not necessarily, I mean, sure. They probably have like very little chance of making the roster, but also the Colts are playing the starters for like a half on, on Saturday against the Buccaneers. So there's some guys who when you shuffle in all the playing time of the ones and twos, they're just not going to see the field and what's the point of getting them the reps this week in practice. So for me, for me, one of those guys, obviously kicker Jake Verity, you know, when the starters all sat on Saturday against the Lions,

it was Verity out there kicking. Blankenship got the day off. So that just goes to show you right there, Blankenship has won the competition. We already assumed as much, but why are you going to keep an extra kicker for this next week? Yeah, it's weird for me, since the Colts are treating this last game like a dress rehearsal, I don't really know, like, what stops them from cutting down to maybe like 70. Like, I know they're not going to do it,

why do the extra stuff if you don't have to? But, like, so many guys, like Jack Cohen is not going to play this weekend and probably is not a practice squad guy. So I don't know why you would keep him. Nikola Kalinic is probably not a practice squad guy, the tight end. You know, so why, like, Alex Mollet on interior offensive line. I mean, there's a lot of guys. I don't – it's just – it's a really weird thing with the Colts because the Colts are going to be one of the few teams

treating this last game like a practice – like a game setting, you know, like it's the dress rehearsal because they had their joint practices last week. And I'm honestly assuming the Bucs won't treat this too much like a dress rehearsal. Like I don't think Tom Brady's going to play or anything. So, you know, it's going to be kind of even different on the other side of the field so yeah i don't know there's there's a lot of guys that they could cut here it wouldn't shock me i mean there's very few guys they would cut here that would shock me uh because you know again with them treating this like a dress

rehearsal you don't really need your fourth fifth and sixth stringers you know you just kind of just get to the guys who are kind of roster bubble. Like, honestly, they could probably cut it to like 60, 65 before this game, even though, I mean, they won't, but, but they honestly could. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you wish they would do that almost just to get it out of the way. If I were the Buccaneers, I would play no one that's going to play during the regular season with how their offensive linemen are dropping like flies. I mean, Brady,

Brady's I'm sure been staying loose uh filming the the whatever that mass singer i think is what people are saying yeah yeah yeah or wasn't he in like hawaii or something is what they said like they had i don't i don't know dude the work of those beat reporters in tampa to like basically follow his movements is just wild this i could never be a beat guy i could never do it i don't understand i've i've had to do some investigative stuff before and it's not ideal like it's not it's not fun uh let's see who else you know um and of course these are guys who you know if you're cutting them now you're probably not waiting and bringing them back to the practice squad in the next week and a half they're just

guys you're you're cutting ties with ch Chris Wilcox kind of comes to mind. Yeah, but they might like him for a practice squad spot. They seem like they kind of like him a little bit, even though we might not. Right. Yeah. Again, that's something else that's very weighted is how the Colts feel about these guys.

An interesting one, and it feels to me like DJ Montgomery and Isaiah Ford at receiver would be Armani Watts at safety. I feel like he's a good special teams player and would provide some depth at safety, but we've seen so, so little of him. And you've got your boy Trevor Denbo, who has been awesome on special teams. You know, Rodney Thomas has come up and shown some growth. That's one where I wouldn't be surprised. I can't say that's going to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised at all. Yeah. I would say honestly, for like 48 to 49 of these spots, we kind of know which way the Colts are going to go.

I have no clue what they're going to do with that fourth safety. Like gut says Armani Watts still probably, but but like denbo i think makes a lot of sense as a special teamer and i think ronnie thomas makes a lot of sense as a developmental player like kind of like a george odom type where it's like this guy could be a really good safety if we give him the development but also he could be a good special teamer so like we want to keep him so personally for me i don't know just from watching the preseason and watching a lot of the salt season i would lean either thomas or denbo i could go either way with that but keep him. So personally for me, I don't know, just from watching the preseason and watching a lot of stuff this offseason, I would lean either Thomas or Denbo. I could go either way with that,

but I don't, I really have no clue with that one. That one's really interesting because it really doesn't have much impact on this season, but it's just, that's a total special teams move as well. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a really, really weird spot. I, yeah, I don't know. Armani was good. Be cut, or he could make the team. I really don't know with that. Yeah, no clue, no clue at all.

So, again, NFL teams have to be down to 80 players by 4 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The Colts, 81. And then the following Tuesday is when everyone has to make their cuts down to 53, including the Colts. Marcel Dabo's spot is a protected practice squad spot, so he won't count towards the active roster at that point. And with that, let's go ahead and talk about one of our sponsors, Athletic Greens. I started taking Athletic Greens AG1 because I struggle balancing the time to prepare healthy stuff in my diet throughout the day. And it's honestly just it's really easy to do with them.

The wide receivers, Desmond Patman and Mike Straughan, had great games.

What did you see, kind of the hidden stuff that doesn't just jump off if you're following the ball and things like that? Yeah, I mean, starting at the quarterback position, Sam Ellinger had a great game. He looked awesome, really smooth in the pocket. I'm really loving how it seemed like last year, Sam Ellinger always looked like he was just trying to get out of the pocket every single snap. You know, it seemed like I need to get out of the pocket. I need to go this year. He is still getting out of the pocket quite a bit, but it seems more intentional this year. You know,

it seems more like, okay, when I need to go or when I need to slide up in the pocket, I go, you know, it's not just like when I take the – when I snap the – when the ball snaps me, I'm running. You know, it's very – you know, the way that you want it to be as a quarterback. Now, I do think he needs to hang in there a little bit more sometimes, but you can't argue with the results so far. So he's looking really good back there. Again, the ball looks like it's coming out with a lot more velocity.

He's throwing really accurate passes, which, you know, that was always his calling card I think even in college. He's an accurate thrower, just not the strongest thrower. But yeah, he's, he's taken some great strides and I think the film backs it up. So he, he had a great day. I do think Nick Foles had a good day too. Like I know it was just the one drive, so he doesn't really get too much, you know, hub for the drive that that he had but i didn't see any issues with with what he did out there he threw a couple nice balls i mean the hot the the deep throat to des patman was was on the money and allowed him to go make a play for it uh yeah i think he did a lot of good things too so i mean i'm i'm very confident with both of those guys i think both of them

uh you know if the colts do end up keeping both of them i think the colts have one of the deeper quarterback rooms in all of football. You'll have a former MVP, a former Super Bowl MVP, and then a promising young player if they end up keeping all three. Nothing to complain about with those quarterbacks. Jack Cohen, he had the one drive that got down there and threw the touchdown. I was going to say say he scored and he, he had an impact on your Twitter profile.

He did. He did. He did. But you know, Jack Cohen, I think if he makes a practice squad good for him, but that's probably all he's going to be with the NFL. The main focus obviously those other two guys and they both played really well. I'm really impressed with how both those guys are playing. Yeah. And so the quarterback room is obviously nothing, nothing to worry about on. So on among the running backs, I'm real curious what you've been seeing from Devante Price lately. Has, has he been growing at all? Cause I mean, I know he was hurt for about a week or so,

and he's getting some more run. I think he's a good practice squad candidate to have, you know, he's a big body guy. He's fast. He had a couple of nice special teams reps too. I think he's a good practice squad candidate to have. He's a big body guy who's fast. He had a couple of nice special teams reps too. I think he ran down one of the kick returners on one of the long returns or whatever. He ran the guy down and stopped it before it was a bigger return. So I'm liking him a little bit right now. I'm not saying he's done enough to make the roster by any means. I really do think the Colts should just go with three guys.

I just haven't been super impressed with any of the other guys below, uh, Phillip Lindsay. I just think you should just stop at Phillip Lindsay. You have enough, enough special teamers everywhere else where I don't think you need to roster a running back there, but, um, but yeah, no, I think, uh, Dion Jackson and Devante price, I think are going to be competing for that running back practice squad spot. Uh, because, you know, when it comes to just to kind of, again, say that these running backs haven't really impressed me. Yes, the O-line has not been blocking well. The second team O-line has not been run blocking super well.

These running backs aren't missing holes and they're not really creating much. I mean, it's kind of a push-pull. They're both kind of at fault for the lackluster run game here in the preseason. So I don't know. I'm not super impressed. Phillip Lindsay, I think, is easily RB3, and I think that he's a lock for the roster. But the guys behind that, I probably wouldn't keep a fourth one.

Yeah, but before we get to that offensive line that you mentioned, the one that's kind of been maligned all summer, what did you see from the pass catchers uh you know wide receivers and tight ends that's that's honestly from our experience seeing the numbers this summer that's been one of the most hot button topics those groups yeah no i'll start with the with the two guys that we are like pseudo starters or like starters basically and alec pierce and kyle and granson not huge huge days those guys, but they looked steady out there. You know, Kylan Granson had a nice catch on that sail route.

On Desmond Patman's long 20-something yard catch, it was actually him and Kylan Granson did a little switch release, and that's what freed up Patman underneath. It was a really nice route by Kylan Granson to kind of shed that, you know, to kind of be like the shield for Patman to catch and run. Colts love that. They do. They do.

And something I love about Conley Granson is we've seen a lot this previous season. The Colts on a lot of passing downs are doing three by one sets. You know, they're having three receivers to one side and then Conley Granson by himself on the backside. They've done that a ton this preseason. And, you know, it's not like he's running vertical, you know, it's going to be like little hooks or it's going to be a little dragss and i think the colts are hoping that they can isolate him with linebackers and safeties on that back side a lot and just let him use his

athleticism to get open so i think it's going to be a good year for kylan granson as long as he can catch the ball when it's thrown his way yeah it's going to be a good year alec pierce looks better and better every week i know he didn't play too much in this one, but a couple snaps he did play. He looked really good in a press snap against Jeff Okuda. That little bunch drag route where he fought for a first down was really nice. So Alec Pierce is always catching my eye. And then obviously the two stars of the day, Des Patman, Mike Strawn, they both looked as good as expected on film.

And I think that they have solidified themselves as watch your five and six. I'm thinking so too. It would, it would take some real nonsense or an injury this week for, for either of those guys to, to not make it at this point, I think. And then the offensive line, you know, you kind of uncovered that, you know, French fries had a great game last, last week. So what, what did you see from the guys this week? Yeah, no, I think it was Will Fries and Bernard Ryman

were the stars on this offensive line this week. I mean, they were, I really have a lot of confidence in the backup offensive lineman because I think Fries is turning into a really, really good pass blocker on the interior. Like obviously he hasn't been tested by anybody that's like a starting defensive lineman.

But last year you could see in the preseason, he was getting driven back on every play. You know, it was a lot of bull rush. He was playing very upright. He was playing wide with his hands. This year he just seems so much more powerful. And the word that keeps coming to mind is sturdy. You know, every time that he's facing any kind of bull rush

or guys are trying to use power on him, he's just not moving. Like he looks really strong and really confident out there. And then Bernard Rodman had an outstanding bounce back week, looked really confident with his hands. He was I mean, he was barely tested on that side this entire game. He looked like a legit left tackle again against backups. You would hope that your third round rookie is going to look that good. But he kind of needed this after, you know, kind of up and down first preseason games. So you've seen both those guys kind of ascend into those depth roles that we expect for them. So I'm really

impressed by those two guys. And that's really a testament to both of their determination to get better. You had a, you had a big thing on Will Fries last summer after the drafted him the guy is obsessed with improvement I I mean I've seen it this summer too in training camp he's had his share of getting overpowered in uh in the one-on-ones it's mostly been I feel like it was mostly power stuff that he struggled with um but he's really coachable you see Quentin Nelson or Chris Stross come up and coach some of these guys. And he really takes the heart and Bernard Ryman. He's cut from the same cloth.

Like the guy literally before he makes it back to the group after he loses a rep, he's already beating himself up there. And he's like, I, I already know what I need to do to do. But now he, uh, both of those guys are, they have the mentality you want and they're physically gifted and can get there so man to see them actually improving in a game setting is definitely refreshing to see yeah absolutely now guys we're going to jump into the defense here in just a second but we have a quick word from linkedin as you gear up for fall you need the right people

Which is a premium collegiate apparel brand out of Indianapolis. Their clothes are incredibly comfortable. And they have officially licensed apparel with vintage college designs. Being a local brand to Indianapolis, the Colts reached out to Homefield for an exclusive partnership to launch this collection of Homefield Colts apparel. And apparently we're big enough deals where we got that as well.

So, you know, we're going to be getting in on that a little bit. This is Homefield's first NFL collection, and it's a super exciting opportunity to work with a big time NFL franchise like the Colts. The two collaborate exclusively to make this co-branded collection, bring Indianapolis together. They've got six items for you to dig into so far. A hoodie, a crew neck, two t-shirts, joggers. I mean, I'm all for joggers.

I need more joggers for sure. And a jacket. It's the perfect collection to kick off the season, especially if you guys need some new digs for the season. It's an exciting new chapter for the Colts, so make it an exciting new chapter for your weekend wardrobe too. Why not? This collection officially launches on Saturday, August 27th

at noon Eastern time. Homefield was nice enough to set us up with some new threads. I haven't got mine yet because I live all the way across the country, but when I do, guys, it's all I'm going to be wearing out here in Virginia. So, I mean, I'm going to be the only Colts fan in Virginia. But, you know, they'll be able to notice me because I'll just have my shiny blue Colts gear on. And it won't be because of Carson Wentz either. No.

Well, they'll come up and yell at me about, you know, my opinion of Carson Wentz, I'm sure. Oh, Commander Sam. New customers can get 15% off their purchase from Home Field with code LOCKEDONCOLTS at checkout from homefieldapparel.com. All righty, Jake. I am worn out from talking, so I'm going to kick it to you here in a second. But let's talk some film on the defensive line. I'll start with the defensive tackles. Yikes. Yeah, it wasn't pretty on film.

I will give credit to the Lions in this one. They duoed the Colts' defensive tackles to death in this one. If you guys are unfamiliar with what duo is, duo is as simple as it sounds, you have two double blocks on the interior on the interior defensive tackles to create that vertical displacement right there at the line of scrimmage to give space for your running back to have at least a couple yards free every single snap. The way to counter that is have defensive tackles that know how to eat double teams and have linebackers that are quickly reacting and flowing to those spots. And I'll kind of I guess I'll kind of teams and have linebackers that are quickly reacting and flowing to those spots.

And I'll kind of, I guess I'll kind of slide in my linebacker discussion here with the defensive tackles. The Colts kind of failed on both ends in this one. Forrest Ryan, you could tell it was kind of his first game out there. He made a couple of plays, a couple of nice tackles, but he was kind of second guessing himself a little bit. You could see kind of some of the other linebackers as well. They were just kind of second guessing.

They were kind of looking for the pass when a run was coming right at them. And these defensive tackles were getting blown off the ball by these double teams. I think Eric Johnson had a couple of nice reps where he stood in there. Byron Coward had one or two. Curtis Brooks had a couple where he like just blew up the play before he could get the, before the double team really got them. But once they got the duo on those guys, I mean, it was over, it was,

it was an ugly game for the defensive tackles. And it's hard to really specify which guys were good. I mean, Curtis Brooks again had, I think he had like two plays where he disrupted in the backfield, but I mean, besides that was not great. Yeah. Overall an ugly game. I mean, it'll obviously look different once the season's here because exactly how you described the way to attack those duos is like, okay, well, the Colts starting front seven

sounds like they'd be able to handle that no problem. Grover Stewart eating double blocks. Okarake and Leonard flowing to the ball and getting through in space. Yeah. So it's not something to be concerned about once the season comes, but with these young guys who don't necessarily know all what they're doing, not great. Right.

Right. Jumping to defensive end, a Fetty O'Danagbo looked awesome in this one. Very disruptive. Dio O'Danagbo, again, just looks like a hurricane on every snap with the way the arms are just everywhere but i'm telling you man when it if he makes contact with you first like you gotta you gotta withstand that that storm coming at you because i couldn't imagine trying to block that

he took out the three guys against the bills yeah it's just so it's so powerful and it's long too because it's what 36 inch arms too like yeah like it's he's's long, too, because it's, what, 36-inch arms, too? He's going to get you first, and then it's going to come with such power and just him being a ferocious pass rusher. So I really do think once he really gets his plan down, he gets his feet under him, he's going to be a really good pass rusher for the Colts. But Tyquan Lewis, I think, right now is probably ahead of him. And Tyquan Lewis, just to segue to him, I mean, he played awesome.

Looked explosive, looked precise, looked quick. Looks awesome after that knee injury. And then a player who I think could use a bounce back week coming up is Ben Banigou. Ben Banigou, with his other three guys all stood out, Ben Banigou kind of just, like, he looked fine. He didn't look bad. He had a couple of run stops. I think i charted like two or three hurries so i mean it was it was fine but when you had odenigbo with seven

pressures you had dio with five you had taekwon with like four and like 10 snaps you'll want to see ben bandicoot kind of match those guys when he was just kind of you know it was kind of fine on the day it wasn't anything special yeah it's not like there's been some big drastic drop off with banigoo it's just mostly been staying stagnant for the most part and i did see like i i commented that the other day on the show that if he doesn't win that dip to the outside then he almost isn't going to get it at all i've actually noticed not to sorry not to cut you off but i've actually noticed his he mainly wins with the swipe to the inside. It's setting up that speed, and then he swipes back inside. But the reason you set that up is because you have a dip to the outside. When the pocket gets wider.

Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has those two there, but it's like he doesn't have the power to win once the O-lineman's on him. So you want to see that get a little better. But, again, this is a guy who's barely played, so it's hard to improve when you're not really playing. So I don't know.

It's a tough call. But again, I don't think he was bad by any means. It's just you want to see him kind of match Odinik Bo and Dio in that game. Yeah, I think I noticed him. And I'm sure you can corroborate that. I think he got through on a stunt. And he put some pressure on there and flushed the quarterback out of the pocket. So I took note of that.

That wasn't too bad. Defensive back wise. There was a couple of guys I know that during the game I thought did pretty well. Anthony Chesley, I thought had a pretty decent game. Tony Brown was up and down. Like he had a couple of nice moments. Like the interception included, but outside of that, he did some nice things, but I think he also gave up that touchdown. What did you see from some of these corners? Because I know they didn't have a great game against the Bills. And like you'd mentioned Marvell Tell specifically, it's kind of on skates out there. Yeah, yeah, just kind of rushing through this

quick because we're getting short on time. I think Tony Brown was mostly really good outside of the touchdown. You just got to get your head around and locate the ball. You can never get in a situation where you feel like you've won a rep already and then kind of take the play off. That's kind of what happened. Especially in the end though. Right, right. He kind of thought he had it covered, so he kind of didn't try to locate the ball and then the ball was there, you know, and Kennedy made a great play. Anthony Chesley had a couple of nice moments. I would like to have seen him get a hand on that one pass that was targeted. If you actually look at the replay on the fade that was incomplete that he was targeted on,

he didn't really get his hand in there. It was just kind of a drop. He had good coverage. But I'd like to see him play through the hands a little bit. But again, it was good coverage. Marvell Tell, it was kind of a really quiet day. He didn't really get targeted or really see much coming his way whatsoever in this one so it's kind of hard to say um and then yeah chris wilcox got beat quite a few times

again maybe the colts team is a practice squad guy but i don't know uh but i will throw like again we're gonna end every podcast with him trevor denbo man trevor denbo yeah yes he had that horrible miss in the backfield that could have been a tackle for loss, but he was tackling a former safety there. That's Godwin Igwebutke, who's like 240 pounds and runs like a 4.5. Like that's a, I mean, again, I'm not saying that it's okay to miss the backfield, but that's a tough tackle to make. But I do think for the most part, Denbo played really well. He had a nice pass breakup in the end zone, a couple of run stops around the line of scrimmage and then again just a beast on special team so man i don't like i i would lean rodney thomas because i just the way he moved was so different but i don't know man i i want denbo to i'm rooting for denbo he's like my andre uh

sachery or whatever this year like it's kind of the same same thing. I saw, not to eat in too much of our time here, but I saw an Eagles defensive back had a really great play the other day, and I don't know Sasha's number or anything, but I was like, that's got to be Sasha. And then I looked at the caption. It was our guy. It was our guy. Yeah, his wife still follows me,

so I saw that when she retweeted it. Okay. Yeah, he's out there balling in Philly, everybody. No doubt Jonathan Gannon wanted him. Yeah. I think that's all for us today. We'll be back with you guys tomorrow. The Colts get back to practice on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
