1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Speaking of Sweet Home, Alabama, how far did the Crimson 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Tide get in? They got some distractions going on, right, 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: Uh huh. I think they're going to get beat by 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Texas Tech. I think they'll beat Hofstra, but I'm telling you, 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: and I know Texas Tech is down their best player. 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: But I just think the world of the way Texas 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: Tech has coached. I watched them pretty deep last year 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: in the tournament, and like they're just one of those 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: teams I've always said, it's kind of like Brad Stevens teams. 10 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: They just always know where the loose balls are. They're 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: very well coached. But we'll see what happens with that. 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: Joining us now on the Java House Colbrew Coffee guest line, 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: he is the wide receiver of the Indianapolis Colts. And 14 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: we got all we all as a city collectively got 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: ourselves worked up into a tizzy over whether or not 16 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: we would be able to continue to say that about 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. But it almost feels like there was never 18 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: any doubt about it, he joins us on the program. Now, Alec, 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: other than you know, probably wealthier than last time we talked. 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: How are you good? 21 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: You know what I can't complain and the you know what, 22 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: I take that back now, I'm not going to say 23 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: that I'm going to complain about this, but if you 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: could have drawn this out just a couple more days, 25 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: it would have given us that much more to talk 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: about for a couple of days, right because because. 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: We were talking about this all the time. 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: So, and I know you've addressed this perhaps, but I 29 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: want to get right to this, and that is was 30 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: there any doubt in your mind about this? I mean, 31 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: how much when you got the deal with the Colts 32 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: and that was announced, was that as much about Alec 33 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: Pierce wanted to be in Indianapolis or you started to 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: get an idea of what the market was going to 35 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: dictate and you didn't think there was going to be 36 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: something more lucrative out there, even though there are reports 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: that you had, you know, bigger offers that were there. 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think it was really that I knew 39 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 3: I wanted to be in Indianapolis, Like I knew that. 40 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 4: From the beginning. The the only worry I had. 41 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: For a little while there was the quarterback situation and 42 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: didn't really understand the whole like thing that was going 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: on with Daniel the tag like that was I didn't know. 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: I'd never heard of the transition tag, you know, until 45 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: this year, so I wasn't sure if he was For 46 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 3: a second, I wasn't sure if he was going to 47 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: be here because you know, when I started like reading 48 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 3: into that and learning about that, it's kind of like 49 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: it's a lot easier for a team to like poach 50 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 3: him than the franchise tag. So that was that was 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: something that like that that kind of just concerned me 52 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: for a little bit there. But then once I really 53 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: talked with him and talk with the front office and 54 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 3: all that, and they said, hey, we're going to figure 55 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: that out, like he'll be here, He'll be here, We're 56 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 3: gonna we're getting a longer term contract done with him. 57 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: Once I got that reassurance, I knew this was the 58 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: place I wanted to be. And it really didn't matter 59 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 3: what other teams were offering me. 60 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 4: I knew because I believe in what we got going 61 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: on here. I believe in. 62 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: This this city and this organization. So I wanted to 63 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 3: be here. 64 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: How much of that too, did you? Because I get it? 65 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Dan, you know you and Daniel Jones, your teammates. 66 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: I assume you guys are buddies as well, right, But 67 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: business is business, right? So how much did you talk 68 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: to him and did he did he specifically say to you, look, 69 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether it's transition or franchise. Uh, I'm 70 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: going to stay here even if somebody counters. 71 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: At this point, we never got into that specific but 72 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: I just never really to me, I had to like understand, 73 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: like I didn't even know if he had like the 74 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: the choice or whatnot. At first, I thought it was 75 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: like if somebody offered him a contract that we couldn't afford, 76 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: like he had to go there. Like I wasn't really 77 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: sure like what whose choice it was and what not. 78 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: So that that's what happened me A little word. 79 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: Were you ever worried that you would be tagged? 80 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: I thought I thought that was probably gonna happen. Like 81 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: me and my agents at first thought that was gonna 82 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: be the deal. And that was kind of the the 83 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: way I think. I think it was kind of the 84 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: way that they were hoping it would go. But I 85 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: think then when they just were they were far off 86 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 3: with Daniel and his his team, and then I think 87 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: they kind of kind of or back and they just 88 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: they had to use you know, they got to keep 89 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: a quarterback like that's like the if he got out 90 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: of Indy that had been really really tough for them, 91 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: so they had to lock him down first, so they 92 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: had to use the tag. 93 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce is my guest, of course, wide receiver for 94 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: the Colts. Okay, Alex, So let's get to this with 95 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. You know, clearly when he was healthy, we 96 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: saw what you guys were able to do, right and 97 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: there was it seemed as though you grew as a 98 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: receiver over your time here where. I think you're a 99 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: more versatile receiver. Which sort what kind of receiver does 100 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: Alec Alec Pierce see himself as. 101 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 3: I see myself as a dominant downfield receiver that can 102 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: do the other like all the routes though too. But 103 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: I think I think I'm the best vertical threat in 104 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 3: the NFO. I think I'm the best, you know, making 105 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: big plays down the field, and then I know I 106 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: can do the other things and that's something I'm continuing 107 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: to work on become more complete. You know, I want 108 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 3: to be a guy that gets a lot more catches, 109 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 3: a higher volume type guy, and then while not losing 110 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 3: that step on the vertical you know, threat. 111 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: When we talked to you Alec at camp, which sometimes 112 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: it feels like a week ago, right, and then other 113 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: times it feels like five years ago. But when we 114 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: talked to you at camp at the beginning of this 115 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: past season, you talked about I don't know if you 116 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: remember bringing this up, but we got into a conversation 117 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: about quarterbacks the Colts have had Peyton Manning Andrew Luck notably, 118 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: and kind of this unspoken chemistry that they had because 119 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: of forming relationships with teammates above and beyond just what 120 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: takes place between the lines and how that translates into 121 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: just that unspoken understanding of what needs to take place 122 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: on a play. When did you begin to feel that 123 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones. 124 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 4: More and more of the season went on. 125 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 3: I think definitely, you know, getting into like week three, 126 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: Week four, week five, somewhere around there. Just I think 127 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 3: he did a really job of communicating and letting us 128 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: know exactly what he needs for us on a certain play, 129 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 3: like certain looks. Okay, you know this is going to 130 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 3: be my answer here, you know, Cover two. I'm looking 131 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: here cover three to hear you know so, because obviously 132 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 3: we're out there running our routes, but just knowing like, okay, 133 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: this is the coverage because we can we can recognize 134 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: the coverage and we can know what's going on during 135 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: the play. So like ball snap, I feel cloud from 136 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: the corner, I see the safety at the top. I 137 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: know I know cover two on my side at least 138 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: or cloud on my side. If he had told me, hey, 139 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: you know, you're kind of the answer here in this 140 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: cover too, it might have been a play in practice 141 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: that we weren't throwing the ball to my position as 142 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: much where it's I'm probably not the primary, but I 143 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: know I'm an answer for one type of coverage. Like 144 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 3: just that awareness and being like okay, like if it's 145 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: this look, I want you to kind of throttle in 146 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: this window here or this look, make sure you get 147 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: your eyes around quick because it's coming out. That type 148 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: of stuff I think just allows us to play on 149 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: the same page and and just you know, be a 150 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 3: little bit more seamless. 151 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: Did you ever field that chemistry with Anthony Richardson. 152 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: I think I think we did different things where they are, 153 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: so I think the offense was was a little different, 154 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: and I think I definitely had chemistry with ar down 155 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: the field he was. 156 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: He was great at making those throws.

Finishes SO 406 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: i think Once purdue got to that, point they probably 407 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: were pretty solid in terms of where they ended. Up 408 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: but the number two seed are the Boiler, makers and 409 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: they are taking On. Queens queens likes to shoot from, 410 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: three and that has been one area that Is purdue's 411 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: weakness in guarding.

Defense they 424 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 6: were in the right, places AND i thought that would 425 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 6: get tested By. MICHIGAN i was, like, Okay purdue was 426 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 6: in a pretty advantageous situation being a seventh seed and 427 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 6: probably being the favorite in its first three, games even 428 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 6: against the two seed In, nebraska because it just matches 429 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 6: up better with The nebraska than probably anybody else in 430 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 6: The Big.

DID i Think 437 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 6: perdue feels like it's capable of beating any team in this. 438 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Tournament was there any discussion do you believe or have 439 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: you heard any word of?

IT i 445 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 6: do think there's something to.

Career 540 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 6: he came Into purdue already kind of grown. Up compared 541 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 6: to what most people do when they're eighteen years. 542 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Old it is not Necessarily Sam king is my Guest 543 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: lafayettejournal And, courier where you can read his. 544 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 2: Work he is on The Jaba House Coldbrew coffee guest. 545 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: Line it's not something that has been associated directly with 546 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: this particular. Group but the reality is That purdue has 547 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: had when they've had really good, teams those shocking first 548 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: round by bowouts of the. Tournament they exercise those demons 549 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: when they got to the final. Four but does it 550 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: still linger over the program at all in terms of 551 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: a pressure CREATES. 552 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 6: I, think especially since three of these guys were on 553 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 6: that team that lost To Fairley dickinson in twenty twenty, 554 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 6: three it still.

IT i think that's kind of going to 560 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 6: be a narrative until you consistently make the deep tournament 561 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 6: runs and. 562 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 4: Get rid of. 563 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 6: It but, yeah for a, while what pretty lost to 564 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 6: a fifteen, seed a sixteen, seed a thirteen, seed a twelve. 565 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 6: Seed it became kind of a running punchline for a 566 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 6: while until That final four. Run but until this senior 567 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 6: group is gone and nobody currently on the roster is 568 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 6: affiliated with, THAT i think it's kind of still going 569 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 6: to be a narrative that surrounds this. 570 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: Program what Has Matt painter said About? 571 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: Queens you, know just in terms of, obviously no one's 572 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: overly familiar with an opponent until the name comes On, 573 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 1: sunday and then it's a matter of. 574 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: Reaction but what are we looking at? 575 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 6: Here, well he didn't know much about the team after 576 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 6: the selection. Show not, surprised you, know why would you 577 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 6: be follow on a low major team In charlotte throughout 578 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 6: the course of A big ten. Schedule BUT i haven't 579 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 6: talked to him. Since i'm sure he knows a lot more. 580 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 6: Now it is a team that shoots a lot of, 581 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 6: threes but it's also a team that's when it's played 582 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 6: power floud basketball programs this, year it is it has 583 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 6: not been, pretty for. SURE i think they're giving up 584 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 6: something like one hundred and two point six points per 585 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 6: game to Five power five schools they played during the regular. 586 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: Season they like to. 587 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: SHOOT i THINK jmv is the one that pointed out 588 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: in their league championship, game their leading scorer took nineteen 589 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: shots and they were all. 590 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: Threes, yeah he made ten of, them. 591 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: Which, yeah which you know that that's something Where purdue 592 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: has been. Susceptible they seemingly took care of that in 593 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: The Big ten. Tournament now the question becomes can they continue. 594 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: That was it a schematic change or just a focus 595 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: change that allowed them to defensively be? 596 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 6: BETTER i think it. Was, yeah it was a focused. 597 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 6: Thing that communication was a lot. Better they did some 598 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 6: things differently defensively. Too they didn't, hedge which is something 599 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 6: that they'd kind of, done and that got them in 600 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 6: a lot of times in the scramble mode where they 601 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 6: were leaving guys wide open and trying to play catch. 602 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 6: Up and you, know you give Any DIVISION i player 603 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 6: a wide open, three there's a pretty good chance he's 604 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 6: gonna make. It so even the percentage, shooters if you 605 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 6: leave them wide, open they can beat you that. Way 606 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 6: but there's such a talent difference in this. GAME i 607 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 6: think that's probably gonna be what, Shows but, yeah it's 608 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 6: kind of concerning moving forward if you don't have that 609 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 6: fixed for the long. 610 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: Term, sam appreciate the. 611 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: Time as, always we'll be looking for the coverage for 612 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 1: The boilers coming up Against, queens and, then should they, 613 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: advance and we anticipate that being the, case they will 614 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: take on the winner Of.
