RYAN GRIGSON TRANSCRIPTSGRIGSON END OF SEASON PRESS CONFERNCE TRANSCRIPTS - 1/23/15

Opening Statement:Hello everyone. I just want to first start out and just say we fell short.We gave it our best shot this year, but at the same time, I feel likeour bottom line the last three years has shown consistent growth. Ithink weve grown as a team. Im proud of that. Our head coach isproud of that. Our owner is proud of that. Are we where we need tobe? No. We definitely have areas of improvement that we need toaddress to be able to compete with those elite teams in January. Ithink thats evident. Jim (Irsay) has charged me with seeing thatprocess through. At the same time, I feel like this city and our fanscan be energized and excited about whats on the horizon becausewere clearly going in the right direction. Its nice to know what youneed. Those opportunities you get when youre getting beat andbeat like that, you keep your eyes wide open and you scrutinizeeverything and you try to see whats there that needs the improve-ment. Then you watch the film. Then Ill meet with Chuck (Pagano)and Ill meet with my staff when everyones back and well really tryto iron out what needs to happen to get this team to the next levelwhere it should be. Were going to continue to roll up our sleevesand go to work around here. It never ends. Im very encouraged andoptimistic about the future and so should everyone else. With thatbeing said, just to cut you guys off at the pass about the ball defla-tion issues, thats obviously, like I told all you guys, its in theleagues hands and thats where Im at with that.Have you had conversations with the NFL about the footballdeflation issue?I cant speak on it. Sorry guys.Does getting to the AFC Championship game alter the balancebetween trying to build and also win now?No, I think its another step. Even in 2012, it may sound foreign tosome but we have the expectations to win it all. Find a way. Justfind a way to get there. Do whatever you can. Move this guy here,move that guy here, try to get a spark here. You always have thatexpectation to win it all but I think getting to that AFC Championshipgame with the hopes of winning it and getting to the big one, its re-ally not even just about getting to the AFC Championship game. Itsabout getting to the Super Bowl and winning it because Ive beento three and Ive won one. Getting there and losing, its not good.Youve got to get there and youve got to win it. Youve got to find away to win. But getting there are the things that brings a team to-gether. It bonds a team. This offseason, I know the guys are goingto be excited about the future because now theyve got a taste andthey got so close. They know how close we were, so that fire shouldburn all offseason. I hope it does. And if that fire doesnt burn Wehave to find out who it doesnt burn in as well because they dontneed to be here.After the AFC Championship game, Jim Irsay said the teamneeds to get tougher. When you look at the roster, are therespecific areas that you need to fix?First of all, after the game, we were all very emotional. We were allvery passionate. Before we start making decisions and start divinginto the evaluation process, I think its proven to step away and totake some of that sting off that loss and how we lost before we startmaking decisions and doing things. I think thats advantageous tothe process. But positionally, were already starting that process. Itsalso not one game. You have to look at the body of work, see wherethings fit financially. I was just down at the Senior Bowl, look at whatposition groups are strong in the draft. Look at what position groupsare strong in the free agent process. Theres a lot that goes into de-ciding which position groups can actually even be fixed. Were goingto try but at this time, were not far along enough in the process. Ihavent even met, the coaches arent back yet. We need to put ourheads together and figure that out collectively.Are you surprised that New England has beat you the sameway the last three games? Are you surprised how successfulthey were?They were successful and it wasnt just in the run game. I think youlearned from the time weve been here that we play great footballwhen all three phases play well and all three phases did not playwell. You cant do that in January, especially versus a great teamlike them. I think that regardless of scheme or how we adapt, I thinkthat what comes into play still is tackling. You still have to tackle,you still have to set an edge, you still have to get off blocks, you still

have to fill, you still have to play physical and match their intensity.Theres a lot that goes into play. I think in the broad scope, its notjust one thing. Its not just how we adapted. Its not just this or that.Its on myself. Its about everyone involved because its just not goodenough. That starts with me. Everyone is accountable. Were all ac-countable in these jobs. We have to do a better job collectively asa whole if we want to take that next step because its so darn hardto even get where we were at. But to get to that next level, to get tothe apex, you not only have to be peaking at the right time andeveryones feeling it and everyones in great spirits and its fun. Theride is fun. Even to where we got, it is fun. You can feel it. You canfeel the momentum picking up. Thats what was disappointing aboutthat loss. I felt like we had momentum. We were all so excited aboutgoing in there and doing what we had done in Denver, which no onethought we could. We had been in that situation many times, theSan Francisco game, Seattle, Denver last year, theres a lot ofgames that get forgotten that I have in the back of my mind that letme know this team is capable of competing with anyone.A lot of players have said, Weve got to find a way to beat NewEngland. Can you allow yourself to plan based on what youneed to beat New England specifically?I think you can use that as somewhat of a blueprint. Its not thatthey were I dont think that overly more skilled or bigger or in thosetypes of things on paper or from an athletic standpoint or things likethat. There are certain areas that I feel personally and in our per-sonnel department, we feel like theyre better than us in. But I thinkit comes down to a belief, a confidence level, the expectation to win.Were still young. I think that all those things are also being built in-herently in this team as a whole. With each year, with getting thatfirst year when everyone left us for dead and its been spoken aboutad nauseam, we did that that year with our head coach gone fornine games. We won 11, had a playoff game loss on the road. Youguys know the whole story but those episodes and those milestonesI think help build the confidence for a program thats on the rise. Ifeel like we are. Thats why I feel like everyone can be excited andenergized about our future because thats all out in front of us. Wejust have to be able to look at, like you said, you have to look atthose losses and in my seat, even in the box, I look at, I try to bedisciplined even in the bitter loss when you are getting beat prettybad, to sit there and try to be objective. Dont let the emotion taketoo much, dont let it be in play too much because you wont be ableto decipher what youre seeing as much. Youll be more of a criticinstead of being objective. At those point in times, I think Chuck(Pagano) said the other day, To be the champ, you have to beatthe champ. I think the Bulls were at that point at one time beforethey started their run. They had to learn how to beat the Pistons,the Bad Boys. I think thats where were at. We have to figure outand be able to pinpoint those areas. Sometimes its not just whatyou think. Its more than meets the eye. Theres more that comesinto play sometimes than just pure talent or pure edge speed or howa guy fits in the scheme and all those types of things. Theres alsoplayers, and Ive learned this on the job, theres also these glueguys, these players that you plug in and they stabilize a group thatmaybe needs some stabilizing. I think we found a couple of thoseguys. At first, when I first came here, it was pretty stringent becauseof where we were at of how we could even acquire players. Theywere all going to be young. Were evolving though as a team now,so we can sprinkle in some guys with some age and experience.Before, it was like we were building from the ground up so it waslike why are you going to add a bunch of old guys? It doesnt makesense when youre building something. But now I think thingschange and were evolving so we just have to find the best playersin free agency, in the draft, that fit where were trying to go.What jumped out from the New England game as areas of need?I mean, from the beginning, fundamentals catching the ball, field-ing the ball, tackling. I thought our offensive line the last three gamesdid a pretty darn good job. The pocket was clean. Joe (Reitz) did agreat job, I thought. They did as a group. There was a lot more timefor Andrew (Luck) back there. That speaks to continuity I think.Boom (Herron), how he filled in was tremendous. A sixth-round pickthat was on a practice squad, we asked a lot of him and I think aguy like him is a great example of how Theres been a lot of sixth-rounders that have really made the most out of their careers andhes one of them. But if you see how he finishes every run in prac-tice, you almost want him to slow down because you think hes

RYAN GRIGSON TRANSCRIPTSGRIGSON END OF SEASON PRESS CONFERNCE TRANSCRIPTS - 1/23/15

going to pull up at some point because he runs at full throttle everysingle rep. He plays with that chip on his shoulder and we need tohave a chip on our shoulder this offseason I think because of howwe went out. You forget quickly about the Denver game. Thats thebest locker room and weve had some great postgame locker roomssince Ive been here, some great ones K.C., you can go on andon, especially from 2012, those were special. But that Denver onewas awesome. Then just a week later you flip the script and it could-nt be any more opposite of a feeling. You take that with you, I do. Ithink all of us are still not feeling real great about it and we all haveto carry that chip to get better. Where do you go with Trent Richardson? Do you see him fittingin with this franchise?The thing is every situation is different. Every player and how wedeal with them is going to be different. Hell be lumped into that con-versation with guys this offseason. Where does he fit? Where is hegoing? Is his arrow up, down, sideways, 45-degree angle? Wevegot to figure all these things out with guys in all different types of sit-uations on this roster. Theres questions across the board on a lotof guys that are in a lot of different situations. Again, when thecoaches come back and when we start seeing whats actually outthere We have an idea, draft, and the juniors that have declaredand have been declaring and things like that. Once that evolves, Ithink well have a much better feel for what we need to do.There were reports that Trent Richardson was suspended forthe AFC Championship. Is that true?Yeah, he was suspended. Hes suspended for two games. It wasfor personal reasons so I cant go into it but he was suspended.How disappointed are you in your biggest game of the year youhad the Xavier Nixon situation and the Trent Richardson situ-ation? I cant speak on that because those are situations that are in-house,that are between us, the players and the head coach. Youre alwaysgoing to be disappointed if guys arent all-in, obviously, especiallyat that point in time in the year.As you approach free agency, is frugality more important be-cause of whats looming down the road with guys youre goingto have to re-sign?Weve been cognizant of that even I think last year to a point. Yourealways looking at the big picture. But Jim (Irsay) is more than willingto spend the money. Hes always, Ryan, if it makes us better, letsdo it. We have great support there. I have a great supporting castaround me Mike Bluem, Jimmy Raye and all the scouts and DanEmerson. They all supply me with great information that I need, andalong with Chuck (Pagano), to make the best decisions for this clubfrom a broad scope. I think as far as free agency goes, free agencyis a different animal than the draft. The draft are home-grown play-ers, so to speak, that you have an allotted amount of time with. Youkind of implement them into your program and they dont know any-thing but your program until like year three. Im finding out a lot ofguys blossom in year three. You want year two bad. You want it tohappen in year two but a lot of times it happens in year three and alot of times its just those guys learning to be a pro. Conversely, withfree agency, you can do all the homework you want, you can talk toas many people, you can go back to the college stuff but you reallydont know that guy as well as you know a college player andtheyve been around the block, so to speak. Im not saying you canthit on those guys, but its a little bit of a dice roll because you haveto, first of all, and weve talked about this before, you have to prythem out of their backyard, out of their hometown discount becausetheres comfort with staying with a team. Theres comfort of leavingyour kids in the same school. Your wife knows where all the storesare at. Theres all these things that come into play that Im privy tothat through these conversations you have with guys youre tryingto sell them on coming here. I tell you, the Indianapolis Colts are aneasy sell job these days, real easy. Thats the allure of free agencybecause guys do want to be here. They want to be a part of this.They want to be coached by Chuck Pagano. They want to have An-drew Luck throwing to them. They want to be around the DQwellJacksons and the Cory Reddings, the Reggie Waynes. They wantto be a part of that because they know this a legit, upfront, classyorganization thats going places. That helps. But at the same time,you have the free agent crop, you cant just go out there, pry a guy

out, spend a ton of money, if you dont feel like he can be a differ-ence maker. You might as well just get a guy in the draft and dealwith the bumps in the road hes going to have through inexperience.You either go with inexperience and have a guy that is flat linearrow-wise or you get the kid with an arrow up, but youre going tohave to coach the heck out of him. Those are the discussion wehave. Guys feel differently. Youre going to have different varyingopinions. At the end of the day, we have to make the best decisionsfor our team.What did you think of your 2014 draft class? Did you think yougot the most out of those five guys?I knew we had such a small class. Our kind of mantra was theywere going to be the best five picks of the draft. Even though wedidnt have a first-round pick, our goal was to hit on all five of thosepicks. I called all of those guys into my office. That was the first timeI had ever done that just to let them know, just because its thesmallest class, good things come in small packages. We talkedabout, Lets be great. Lets be great. Lets surprise everybody. Be-cause these guys come out of college and theyre on the websites.They look at the draft grades. I would have been the same waywhen I was 21 years old, like, You gave me a D. Guys get fired upand I like that. They want to prove people wrong. How many guysare still bitter? I think the running back in Denver wears 22 or what-ever because there were 22 backs taken ahead of him. Thats fuelfor the fire and I think our class was outstanding. Even the man for-gotten in that equation is Ulrick John, who was doing terrific despitehis weight limitations. Now hes up to 313, I think, on the last weightcheck. Until he broke the leg, he was battling with the ones from theJets out at left tackle and holding his own. That was encouraging.Andrew Jackson is out there, getting doubled because hes donean outstanding job of covering on teams. Hes a four-core team guythat I think has a big arrow up in terms of physical ability. Hes gotto learn to become a pro more too, like a lot of these young guysdo. (Jonathan) Newsomes production speaks for itself. The longeryou leave him in, the more production he has. The kid where hecomes from, those guys all do one thing and thats play hard. Hewalks across that line and he plays hard, just like he did at BallState, just like he did at Ohio State. (Jack) Mewhort and (Donte)Moncrief, they were big contributors, especially Jack. Jack is some-body that, we were just at the Senior Bowl and that was where wereally I think felt like Jack was a guy last year. No matter where youput him, no matter what you did with him, he produced and he didntwaver and he wasnt fazed. It was so great to see his maturationprocess this year because he didnt have that deer in the headlightslook and when he was starting to hit a wall, he found a way to blowthrough it. I think hes going to be playing in the league for a longtime. Moncrief, obviously, the skys the limit for him with his skill setand just God-given ability.Do you have a sense of whether or not Reggie Wayne and CoryRedding will return? What is the plan moving forward? I think, as Reggie said, hes going to wait until he is somewherewarm and he takes a drive with the music blaring before he figuresall of that out. Were not putting a thumb on anyone right now to giveus a decision. Those are big decisions. Those are decisions you sitand talk with your wife with and bring your kids into it. Its tough. Weneed to first before we make any decisions know if they want to play.I think they both know how to play the game. They are both tremen-dous competitors, contributors and producers. We love having themaround the building because they are guys where you say, OK, itsyour first day on the job, youre a CFA or youre our first-round pickat their position, just watch that guy. Just watch him. Mimic him. Em-ulate him. Do what he does. Dont bother him too much, but justwatch what he does from sunup to sundown and youll probably besuccessful.Is Mike Adams high on your list of players you would like tobring back?Were all going to get together and go over that. I dont want to bepremature with what Im saying because Id be speaking out of turn.I havent talked to Chuck (Pagano). I havent talked with the scouts.I havent talked with the position coaches. We havent had our year-end meeting where we go over each position group and we talkabout where our guys are at and where theyre headed. Mike Adamsdefies everything. You love that hes a fighter. You love that he getsto play in this Pro Bowl. I couldnt be happier for anyone because

hes kind of that example of a poster child for the underdog. Yet,Mike Adams, I dont know if a lot of people know this, he ran a 4.40coming out. He was a highly recruited, big time recruit coming out.It wasnt like he was some average Joe. Mike just slipped throughthe cracks. He managed to have such ball production this year atkey times for us. The thing about Mike is, even when we were some-times having our roughest days, he was one of the bright spots. Insome of the games where we were getting beat up pretty good, hewas making plays. Its in his mindset. Ive heard him tell other CFAs,What are you doing man? Theyre going to replace you. They didntspend a pick on you. He has the right focus and mindset and thatswhy hes successful. Hes wired like no day is being handed to him.He has to earn every day and he does.Is the report true that you are working on a long-term deal forAndrew Luck?No, I think Jim (Irsay) even spoke on that, its news to us. So, no.Thats not our focus as of right now. There will obviously be a timeand place to have those discussions. Obviously we want Andrewhere for a long, long time and well take those steps. But right now,thats not priority number one.What went into Bjoern Werner being inactive? Are you satisfiedwith his growth?Thats easy to clarify guys. It more or less ended up being a game-time decision. Coach and I, we talked to Bjoern, both of us did. Hehad been playing and his production and what he was doing on thefield was definitely incrementally rising. He was making plays, play-ing with a lot of energy, his get-off looked good. He was gettingsome pressures, but he was making plays. He definitely had im-proved from year one to year two. He had been working throughsome things, some dings and he had slowed down. The thought be-hind that was you have two corners who didnt practice all week. Soyou have Jalil (Brown) sitting there as a six-foot corner that ran a4.4 that can play outside and help on teams as a vice and do somethings on special teams for you. In the meantime, youre planningon hopefully getting to that next game. Then you are able to giveBjoern two weeks rest to where he can get back to playing like thatguy we saw the first half of the season. So that was really thethought process through that. It wasnt that we were not happy withBjoern Werner. We just wanted to get him back to the Bjoern thatwas playing at a higher level.Where is Robert Mathis in his rehab? Is he to the point whereyou are confident saying hell be back at the start of next sea-son?No, hes still in recovery. Hes a freak and you hope that he has anathletic genetic freak type of recovery so that hes ready day one oftraining camp. But that information is not clear yet or a timeline isnot there because its a tough injury. Hopefully in a couple monthsfrom now, well be able to have some information on that.What did you think of your defense as a whole?Obviously having 98 (Robert Mathis) out was a big hole. But wedont make excuses. That stuff gets forgotten and it should becausea lot of teams win without key players. The next man up is for real.We found a way to still get pressure and play without his presence,but it makes it a heck of a lot harder, I promise you that. Just havinghim out on the field, even if he didnt get out of his stance, its stillgoing to command two blockers or more. That completely changesthe complexion of a game just having him physically out there. Thething about the defense as a whole, I remember a few months agowhen Im watching that defense have eight three-and-outs in a rowcompletely stifling a good Bengals team. I saw with my own twoeyes how dominant that defense could be. But we have to be con-sistent. We have to do that week-in and week-out. Even in the Den-ver game as well, the Denver Broncos didnt all of a sudden becomea bad team. All of a sudden the Broncos are bad? I dont think so.We played a great game.There have been reports that you guys have denied otherteams permission to interview Rob Chudzinski. Does he figureinto your plans moving forward?Im not going to get into specifics but its ultimately my job to makesure good people stay in this building and dont just walk right out.So well address that and do our best to keep good people here.

There are reports that you actually notified the NFL of some-thing being wrong with the footballs in the first half of the AFCChampionship game. Is that accurate?Everything Im sure will come out in the investigation. Like I said,its not appropriate for me to talk about it. I cant do that. Its in theleagues hands. Im sorry.Do you feel confident going into this offseason that you havethe players you need on the offensive line or is there a talentupgrade that you need to make?Youre always going to be looking to upgrade every position group.I think the offensive line is obviously a key area. Its something thathas to be built though and Ive learned that. Ive explained this oneother time. This is just how I personally see it. You have two waysto be great on the offensive line. You have those teams that spenda first-round pick on everybody and you just get that by default. Andthere are teams like that in the league right now. And boy, thats niceto have. There are also teams historically that have a mixed bag ofguys from every corner of the NCAA or NAIA. Look at the old DallasCowboys of the early 90s. They were a real hodgepodge group.(Mark) Tuinei was a converted defensive lineman that had been atransfer. He was in trouble. He started for 11 years at left tackle forthem. I dont think he was even drafted. He was a CFA. Youve gotNate Newton who was a USFL kind of flunky that got cut from theRedskins. Erik Williams was an NAIA guy, third-rounder. (Mark)Stepnoski was a greatly, severely undersized center, but was a bril-liant guy that made that whole thing work with his mind. And then(Kevin) Gogan was a seventh-rounder. So I think if you can find thatright mixture and keep them healthy, thats where durability factors.Thats where you find those guys like the Jack Mewhorts or the (An-drew) Whitworths of the word that start 49-straight games in theSEC. You have to take all of those things into account. Sometimesyou have to sacrifice just a little bit of athletic ability for those guyswho will give you the availability on Sunday. So there is so muchthat goes into play, but its about finding that right mixture. Ive gotto be honest, just watching those guys work for three weeks, it wasencouraging. So well look at it this offseason and like I said, wellroll up our sleeves and go to work here now.

PAGANO END OF SEASON PRESS CONFERNCE TRANSCRIPTS - 1/19/15Opening Statement: Alright, good to see everybody. Before we get started, I just wantto thank everybody in the room. You guys have been very, very kindto me and great with our players. Very, very positive and its muchappreciated. I respect the job that you guys do and have to do. Hav-ing said that, I talked to the team today. Again, very, very proud ofour coaches and our players. We took another step in the right di-rection. We didnt finish obviously how we wanted to finish. Its dis-appointing, but like I told them, the sun came up this morning. Wevegot a lot to be grateful for. The future looks bright for this footballteam. Somebody wrote some paper somewhere, not that I readthem, about the monster being built and doesnt look like its quitethere yet. Even after we hoist the Lombardi Trophy, the building willnever stop. We just keep laying bricks is all we can do. Theres a lotof great things that happened this year. After an 0-2 start, rip off fivewins and finish the second, third and fourth quarters of the seasongoing 3-1 in each of those quarters. Some great wins, some toughlosses. Guys always bounce back like they always do. Again, wedidnt finish the way we that we wanted to finish, but theres a lot ofgreat things. Like I said, this is an up and coming team, and wevegot to find a way. Theres obviously things from that game that werecognized that we have to, that need to be addressed and we willaddress them. We will find a way to make sure. Its really, reallyhard, as you guys know, to get to the Final Four. Theres 28 teamssitting at home watching. We were one of the four that wasnt. Itsextremely difficult to get there. It would be even more of a dauntingtask for us to get there in 2015, but were going to make sure we doeverything possible to get there. Were knocking on the door, nowweve got to find a way to kick the door in. Thats what we started togo to work on today. Big story last night was New England may have played withdeflated footballs. Did you notice the change? If so, what kindof competitive advantage would that give them? Did not notice, and thats something for the league to handle. Itsnot my place to comment on it. Did you guys bring anything to the attention of the officials orthe NFL? We talk, just like they talk to the officials, you have an opportunityto talk with the officials before the game about a lot of things, thingsthat youve seen on tape. We talked about the formations obviouslywith the extra, the unbalanced stuff like we all talked about, any con-cerns that you might have. Everybody, every coach in the leaguegets an opportunity to visit with those guys before the game. A lot of proud veterans on this team with big decisions comingup, how different to you expect this team to look when you re-assemble it? Thats what I told them today. I said just embrace this moment thatwe have right now, the five, 10 minutes weve got in this room be-cause theres going to be new faces, and theres going to be facesin there that arent going to be here next year. Thats the NFL. Itsthe nature of the business. We all know what we signed up for. Thegame, like we said, will fade for all of us, but the relationships willnever. Thats the harsh reality of the National Football League. Theyunderstand it. I understand it. All of our coaches understand it. Do you have any sense if Reggie Wayne is going to be playingfootball next year? You guys know the way Reggies wired. You know his work ethic.You know his mindset. Would I be shocked? No. We just take thingsone day at a time. Are there any coaching offers out there pending with PepHamilton? I have not heard anything else. Theres a report Rob Chudzinski got a call from Chicago to betheir offensive coordinator. Can you comment on that?I dont know anything about that either. Another player on the fence about returning is Cory Redding.What has he meant to you? A ton, like Reggie (Wayne) making the decision to come back andRobert (Mathis) re-signing and then Cory coming over from Balti-more. You cant put a price tag on what hes meant to this team, this

organization, the success that weve had over the last three years.Hes a great player, but hes a great mentor, a great leader, emo-tional, great in the meeting room, great with young guys, developingyoung guys, teaching the young guys. He just was a stabilizingforce. Anytime you come into a program thats run one system, onescheme for so long, you go from all the discussion we had from dayone of going from a 4-3 to 3-4 Hybrid, whatever you want to call it,it was great to have a guy like Cory come in and help not only teachthe system but sell the system. Hes, again, I cant, I thanked allthose players today for their sacrifices and their hard work and whattheyve put into this season. They should be very, very proud of that.Corys made a huge impact on many levels to help us get to wherewe got to this year. How tough is it when you guys cant get the consistent groundgame to help Andrew Luck in the passing game? I mean, you saw the other side of it. Thats what weve got to beable to do. We talk all the time, youve got to be able to do both.Youve got to run it, and youve got to stop the run. Again, we didntdo a good job of that yesterday. You saw what it opened up for (Tom)Brady and his playmakers on the outside. Thats what the offseasonis for. Well turn all stones. Well look at our schemes in all threephases and make the appropriate adjustments. Were going to gothrough another draft, free agency, all that stuff. Look at ourselvesextensively over the next two weeks from a personnel standpointand evaluate everything top to bottom. Then its start marking thenecessary adjustments that we have to make in order to get to themountain top. Do you think youre closer to getting the consistency on theoffensive line?We were successful through the course of the season. We had ourups and downs, but we won 11 games and did it with 11 differentlineups. We found a group that we played with for the last threeweeks of the season, and they played well. We struggled in all threephases yesterday. Youve got to take care of the football, cant muffkicks. Youve got to play great situational football, you know, thirddown. We couldnt get off the field. We couldnt move the chains of-fensively, red area, all those things. I like the guys that we have. Ilike their toughness. I like their athleticism. I like their position flexi-bility. Weve got good players in that room. When you take a look at what this team has done every year,to get to that perennial championship level, are these growingpains necessary to fuel you to go to New England and win aplayoff game?No question, no question. You have to grow and you have to learnfrom it, and its all part of the process. Again, you have to be honestwith yourself; I have to and everybody has to. You got to take a lookat it and you have to be willing to grow. Youve got to make the de-cision to get better, and that started today, and it will be tomorrowand the next day. Weve got to get tougher, smarter, faster, bigger,stronger. Ive got to teach better, Ive got to coach better, Ive got tobecome a better head coach in 2015 then I was in 2014. Learn bet-ter, meet better, walkthroughs better, practice better; everything.Again, its going to be hard as heck to get back to that opportunity,that final four and knocking on that door, but now youve got to finda way to kick it in and give yourself a chance to ultimately play for itall.You always do a good job of giving the team a message, and itsounds like the message now is to Keep knocking on the doorand find a way to kick it in. Is that what you left them withtoday?Basically, yeah. You have to get away from it. Coaches need to getout of here and get away from it. Weve got things we need to takecare of in the next couple days, but then weve got to get away fromit, theyve got to get away from it. Its just the amount of time. Youcant take three months and show up here, April 20 is when the off-season program starts, you cant show up here April 20 and say,Alright, lets go. Im ready. You can start the process today, whichwe did, and then tomorrow and then the next day. Now its just amatter of each individual making that decision daily, Okay, hereswhat Ive got to do to get better today, and then go do it.

After the long journey that began back in training camp to getto this point, what is it like to you personally as you close thechapter of this edition of the Indianapolis Colts?You know, its tough because we all envisioned moving on andworking for another two weeks and having an opportunity. We knewit deep down in our core of our being that we were going to get thejob done, and then ultimately it doesnt work out and the way that ithappened again is disappointing. I always say it, were disappointedbut not discouraged. We have so many great things to look backon. Again, I woke up this morning and Ive got a beautiful wife, Ivegot three healthy daughters, Ive got three healthy granddaughters.I told the team, Im the luckiest man in the world. Ive got the great-est job in the world. I live in the greatest city in the world. Weve gotthe greatest fans in the world and I love coming to work every singleday. So I just try to keep it all in perspective. Again, we didnt finishthe way we wanted to finish, but damn proud of what we accom-plished.Bjoern Werner was inactive yesterday. Was that just a compet-itive decision?We needed another corner up. Our two corners didnt practice allweek and I didnt want to roll the dice. They made it through thegame, but I didnt want to roll the dice and not have another guy upin case one or both of those guys aggravated or re-injured them-selves and were shorthanded in the back end. So it had nothing todo with the health or anything of Bjoern, we just needed anothercorner up.I think its fair to ask, he went from playing 70 snaps at the startof the season or whatever it was to not being active in a playoffgame.Youre sitting in your chair and sitting in your seat, and youre thewriter. You can read into it however you want to read and write how-ever you want to write. Youve got way more paper and way moreink than Ive got (laughs); plenty of ink and it will never run out. Itwill never run out until they shut all that down and it all goes.Can you clarify what went on with Trent Richardson?You know really, personal reasons.When it comes to the offseason and who you bring in and howyou want to improve your team, how much of New England willplay into that in terms of wanting to get to where you want togo? It seems like theyre going to be the biggest roadblock.Thatd be a fair assessment. Id be lying if I didnt say that. You wantto be the champ, youve got to beat the champ, and we havent doneit. So weve got to find a way.Moving forward as you start to make plans for next year, guyslike Robert Mathis, Vick Ballard, Donald Thomas that have suf-fered major injuries, are you planning to have them all back?Is that all up in the air?As you guys know, this thing is fluid and its daily, its ongoing.Theyre rehabbing, theyre on target to be back. When that happens,when theyre fully cleared, then you start, we get to take 90 guys tocamp. Those guys are all in the building, theyre all rehabbing,theyre all training, theyre all trying to get back, so thats the plan.Weve got plenty of room. So again, those are all discussions thatwell, Ryan (Grigson) and I and Mr. (Jim) Irsay, well sit down andas we move forward, well have those discussions based on thehealth and availability, when those guys are going to be back, allthat stuff.As you look to building the 2015 team, is it fair to say that bothoffensively and defensively, youre going to begin up front asfar as solidifying the offensive line and that front four?I think it all starts in the trenches. If you cant dominate the line ofscrimmage, youre going to have a long, hard day. I think we justfound that out.Why has that been so hard against the Patriots? That hasntbeen the case in a lot of other games obviously.Theyve got good players, well-coached, good scheme, tempo,multiple formations; theres a lot of things that factor in. We didntplay our best. They get you off, they get you reeling a little bit, theyget you on your heels and thats what happened early in that ballgame. I thought we made a couple plays, an interception and got a

stop there before the half, and a 10-point game and all that. Ithought we got it calmed down, but obviously we didnt so theres alot of things that factor into that.You switched to T.Y. Hilton at punt returner. Was that just a mat-ter of somebody being safer back there returning your puntsor did something happen with Josh Cribbs after the muffedpunt?Theres no doubt that he has struggled at times catching thosepunts, so just put T.Y. in there and just get the thing caught and thatswhat we did.In the running game, is it fair to say that when Ahmad Brad-shaw got hurt, you lost the balance you had between him andTrent Richardson?It changed obviously because what we had going there especiallyin that five-game winning streak, we felt like we had a good one-two punch going there. 44 coming in off the bench and from thebullpen, so to speak, getting yards, creating yards on the ground,all that he did in the pass game, the touchdown production that hegave us before he went out with the injury; it definitely changed. Welost a really good football player and he brings a different dimensionto the game as well. Hes a passionate guy. He brings energy andtoughness as well to that offensive side of the football.This time of year theres always staff changes for a multitudeof reasons. Do you have any sense on that yet of any comingsor goings with your staff, or is it too early?Its early. Somebody mentioned guys getting contacted, this, thatand the other; thats this time of year. I guess they just named an-other coach today, I didnt even know. I think Gary Kubiak wasnamed the head coach of the Broncos, right? Congratulations toKubs, hes a good guy and a great coach, and Im glad to see himhave that opportunity. But theres guys out there, and (John) Fox isup in Chicago. Theres a group of guys out there that are availableand theyre all pounding the phones right now trying to put staffs to-gether.
