Description

JJ Stankevitz is joined by Colts running backs coach DeAndre Smith for an inside look at why Jonathan Taylor is having such a remarkable 2025 season. Smith explains why Taylor being healthy is the starting point here (3:01 ) and how he's challenged Taylor to improve as a complete running back (12:20 ). The guys also discuss the impact veteran Ameer Abdullah has made since joining the Colts (16:32 ) before Smith explains what he saw in a young Shane Steichen when they were together at UNLV 15 years ago (19:36 ). Finally, Smith shares stories from his time playing professional football in the south of France in the 1990s (23:09 ) and looks ahead to returning to Europe for the Colts' Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin. JJ also opens The Colts Show Mailbag (28:37 ) for a question about the upcoming trade deadline.
