1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of Sweet Home, Alabama, how far did the Crimson

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Tide get in? They got some distractions going on, right,

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Uh huh. I think they're going to get beat by

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. I think they'll beat Hofstra, but I'm telling you,

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: and I know Texas Tech is down their best player.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: But I just think the world of the way Texas

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Tech has coached. I watched them pretty deep last year

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: in the tournament, and like they're just one of those

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: teams I've always said, it's kind of like Brad Stevens teams.

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: They just always know where the loose balls are. They're

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: very well coached. But we'll see what happens with that.

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: Joining us now on the Java House Colbrew Coffee guest line,

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: he is the wide receiver of the Indianapolis Colts. And

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: we got all we all as a city collectively got

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: ourselves worked up into a tizzy over whether or not

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: we would be able to continue to say that about

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. But it almost feels like there was never

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: any doubt about it, he joins us on the program. Now, Alec,

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: other than you know, probably wealthier the last time we talked,

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: how are you good? You know what I can't complain

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: and the you know what, I take that back now,

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that I'm going to complain

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: about this, but if you could have drawn this out

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: just a couple more days, it would have given us

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: that much more to talk about for a couple of days,

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: right because because we were talking about this all the time. So,

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: and I know you've addressed this perhaps, but I want

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: to get right to this, and that is was there

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: any doubt in your mind about this? I mean, how

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: much when you got the deal with the Colts and

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: that was announced, was that as much about Alec Pierce

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: wanted to be in Indianapolis or you started to get

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: an idea of what the market was going to dictate

34
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: and you didn't think there was going to be something

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: more lucrative out there, even though there are reports that

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: you had, you know, bigger offers that were there.

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think it was really that I knew

38
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: I wanted to be in Indianapolis, Like I knew that

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: from the beginning. The the only worry I had for

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: a little while there was the quarterback situation and didn't

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: really understand the whole like thing that was going on

42
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: with Daniel the tag like that was I didn't know.

43
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of the transition tag, you know, until

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: this year, so I wasn't sure if he was For

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: a second, I wasn't sure if he was going to

46
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: be here because you know, when I started like reading

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: into that and learning about that, it's kind of like

48
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: it's a lot easier for a team to like poach

49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: him than the franchise tag. So that was that was

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: something that like that that kind.

51
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: Of just concerned me for a little bit there.

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: But then once I really talked with him and talk

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: with the front office and all that, and they said, hey,

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna figure that out, like he'll be here, He'll

55
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: be here, We're gonna grigg in a longer term contract

56
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: done with him. Once I got that reassurance, I knew

57
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: this was the place I wanted to be. And it

58
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: really didn't matter what other teams were offering me. I

59
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: knew because I believe in what we got going on here.

60
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: I believe in.

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: This this city and this organization. So I wanted to

62
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: be here.

63
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: How much of that too, did you? Because I get it?

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Dan, you know you and Daniel Jones, your teammates.

65
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: I assume you guys are buddies as well, right, But

66
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: business is business, right? So how much did you talk

67
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: to him and did he did he specifically say to you, look,

68
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether it's transition or franchise. I'm going

69
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: to stay here even if somebody counters.

70
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: At this point, we never got into that specific but

71
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: I just never really to me, I had to like understand,

72
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: like I I didn't even know if he had like

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: the the choice or whatnot. At first, I thought it

74
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: was like if somebody offered him a contract that we

75
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: couldn't afford, like he had to go there. Like I

76
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: wasn't really sure like what whose choice it was and

77
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: what not. So that that's what happened me A little word.

78
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: Were you ever worried that you would be tagged?

79
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: I thought I thought that was probably gonna happen. Like

80
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: me and my agents at first thought that was gonna

81
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: be the deal. And that was kind of the the

82
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: way I think. I think it was kind.

83
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: Of the way that they were hoping it would go.

84
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: But I think then when they just were they were

85
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: far off with Daniel and his his team, and then

86
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: I think they kind of count or back and they

87
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: just they had to use you know, they got to

88
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: keep a quarterback like that's like the if he got

89
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: out of Andy, that had have been really really tough

90
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: for them, So they had to lock him down first,

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: so they had to use the tag.

92
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce is my guest, of course, wide receiver for

93
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: the Colts. Okay, Alex, So let's get to this with

94
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. You know, clearly when he was healthy, we

95
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: saw what you guys were able to do, right and

96
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: there was it seemed as though you grew as a

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: receiver over your time here where. I think you're a

98
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: more versatile receiver, which sort what kind of receiver does

99
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: Alec Alec Pierce see himself.

100
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: As I see myself as a dominant downfield receiver that

101
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: can do the other like all the routes though too.

102
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: But I think I think I'm the best vertical threat

103
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: in the NFO. I think I'm the best, you know,

104
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: making big plays down the field, and then I know

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: I can do the other things and that's something I'm

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: continuing to work on become more complete.

107
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: You know, I want to be a guy.

108
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: That gets a lot more catches, a higher volume type guy,

109
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: and then while not losing that step on the vertical you.

110
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: Know, threat when we talked to you Alec at camp,

111
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: which sometimes it feels like a week ago, right and

112
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: other times it feels like five years ago. But when

113
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: we talked to you at camp at the beginning of

114
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: this past season, you talked about I don't know if

115
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: you remember bringing this up, but we got into a

116
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: conversation about quarterbacks the Colts have had Peyton Manning Andrew

117
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: Luck notably, and kind of this unspoken chemistry that they

118
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: had because of forming relationships with teammates above and beyond

119
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: just what takes place between the lines and how that

120
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: translates into just that unspoken understanding of what needs to

121
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: take place on a play. When did you begin to

122
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: feel that with Daniel Jones.

123
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: More and more of the season went on.

124
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: I think definitely, you know, getting into like week three,

125
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: Week four, week five, somewhere around there. Just I think

126
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: he did a really job of communicating and letting us

127
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: know exactly what he needs for us on a certain.

128
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: Play, like certain looks.

129
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: Okay, you know this is going to be my answer here,

130
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, Cover two. I'm looking here cover three to

131
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: hear you know so, because obviously.

132
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: We're out there running our routes.

133
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: But just knowing like, Okay, this is the coverage because

134
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: we can we can recognize the coverage and we can

135
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: know what's going on during the play. So like ball snap,

136
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: I feel clouds from the corner, I see the safety

137
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: at the top. I know I know cover two on

138
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: my side at least or cloud on my side. If

139
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: he had told me, hey, you know, you're kind of

140
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: the answer here on this cover too, it might have

141
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: been a play in practice that we weren't throwing the

142
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: ball to my position as much. It's I'm probably not

143
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: the primary, but I know I'm an answer for one

144
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: type of coverage. Like just that awareness and being like, okay,

145
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: like if it's this look, I want you to kind

146
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: of throttle in this window here or this look, make

147
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: sure you get your eyes around quick because it's coming out.

148
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: That type of stuff I think just allows us to

149
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: play on the same page and and just you know,

150
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: be a little bit more seamless.

151
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Did you ever field that chemistry with Anthony Richardson.

152
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: I think I think we did different things with they

153
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: are so I think the offense was was a little different,

154
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: and I think I definitely had chemistry with ar down

155
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 2: the field. He was he was great at making those throws.

156
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: And but I don't I don't.

157
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I would say, you can't really compare

158
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: it because I don't think we like our offense was

159
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: much more rpo based with we We didn't we going

160
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: to throw the balls much, you know, so there wasn't

161
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: a ton of those like kind of throws they're making,

162
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: like in the windows across the middle, stuff like that,

163
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: Like that wasn't necessarily what we were trying to do

164
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: as much.

165
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce is my guest. He's on the Java House

166
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: Cold Brew coffee guest line, of course, the Colts wide receiver. Like,

167
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: how important for you in your development and you're spacing

168
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: on the field in terms of your operating areas within schemes?

169
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: How important was Michael Pittman junior to that?

170
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: He was very important? You talking about in terms of

171
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: the schemes.

172
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, just in terms of if you you know, the

173
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: areas that on the field where a defense had to

174
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: pay attention to him, and how that might have freed

175
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: you up or how it may have used and you know,

176
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: and and what challenges that are created now by his absence.

177
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the you know, he was great out there A

178
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: lot of times. You know, they might have a lot

179
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: of the covers there's going to be focused on him.

180
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: They know he was a high volume guys and the

181
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: guy that is going to get in the ball a lot,

182
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: so they might have been throwing you know, they might

183
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: have been putting their best corner on him or what not.

184
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: Depends on each week what teams are doing.

185
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: But definitely now without him out there, a lot more

186
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: attention will probably be brought to me.

187
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: So that'll change some things up.

188
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: I think I just had to find ways to to get.

189
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: Open and create separation on that.

190
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: Have you talked to Daniel Jones in regards to just

191
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: where he is right now physically speaking in his recovery.

192
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: Not specifically about that, but I know he's doing.

193
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: And I would imagine if you're an NFL player, is

194
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: that kind of one of those almost like unwritten things

195
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, I'm not going to get into that,

196
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: like that's kind of a guy's individual journey and you

197
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: don't want to like almost jinx at that kind of thing.

198
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, i'd say so.

199
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: I thought I think a lot of people thought, and

200
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: let's be real here, Alec Okay, I mean you look

201
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: at the numbers right, four year, one hundred and sixteen million.

202
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: This is what's reported at least guaranteed money of eighty

203
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: four million. That seemingly, and I love Indianapolis, I grew

204
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: up here, Right, That seemingly would be enough to keep

205
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: me around town for a while. But I thought, really,

206
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: the real reason you signed here is because you wanted

207
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: to be close to your brother when he's playing at Purdue, Right,

208
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Isn't that really what it came down to? Yeah, there

209
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: you get it. Listen, give us the scattering report. What's

210
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: Purdue getting out of Caden Pierce. I know that he's

211
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: obviously six', seven was THE Ivy League player of The,

212
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: Year but you're, juiced, Right, No.

213
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm pumped about, him, Man i'm. EXCITED i think you're

214
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: gonna fit well in The big.

215
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: TEN i think.

216
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: He's a.

217
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: Winner like that's HOW i describe this. Game you, know

218
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: he's like a double double. Machine he's he can guard

219
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: the two through the. Four he's really like he plays

220
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: bigger than his, size you, know like he's a phenomenal,

221
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: rebounder really good, defender passes the ball, well and then he'll.

222
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: Score like you, KNOW i think he works right now

223
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: in an offensive. SYSTEM i think he's like he'll he's

224
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: a type of guy where you're, like he gets like,

225
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: sneaky like a lot of. Points you, know you'll be like,

226
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: LIKE i didn't realize he had like sixteen points in that.

227
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: Game you, know like he's just he's all over the.

228
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: Boards it's not necessarily like going to be like him

229
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: like iso ball like like and and shooting like.

230
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: THREE i mean he's a. Shooter he can shoot for.

231
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: Sure but, yeah he's definitely more like the like he'll

232
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: play the three or four there would be my, guess

233
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: but he can really guard that. Too through, four you

234
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: can probably guard the five if they want to go small.

235
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: Ball they were doing that At princeton a. Lot AND

236
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 2: i know it's obviously.

237
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,800

334
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: OUTING i like oftentimes you hear athletes AND i think

335
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: even to this a time or, two is that you

336
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: always let the agent handle everything with the front office

337
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 4: and the. Organization But i've always been curious about this

338
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: aspect when it comes to contract negotiations between player agent

339
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 4: and the said. Franchise how aware are you as a

340
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: player of like the bonuses that are being discussed between

341
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: your agent and in this, case The Indianapolis colts do

342
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: you communicate With you are, like, HEY i think these

343
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: are good bonuses that i'd like, to you, know get

344
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: to or are those numbers that The colts provide your?

345
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: Agent you're, like, yeah let's do.

346
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: It are you talking about like incentives or.

347
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: Yeah incentives like statistics or whatever the case may.

348
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: Be, YEAH i know.

349
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: They didn't really ask me too much about. THAT i

350
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: THINK i think they just Copied pittments incentives in this.

351
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: Contract but they were explaining there's a whole, thing LIKE

352
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: i think that the incentives have to be something that

353
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: you haven't done before or else they count against the

354
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: cap or. Something so they have to be declared, like you,

355
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: know not, Likely like if it's never you've never done it,

356
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: before it's considered like it's not likely to, happen and

357
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: then it doesn't count against the cap or something something like.

358
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: That don't quote me on, that but, so LIKE i

359
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: know they they just, Copied, uh whatever Incentives.

360
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: Pittman had in his.

361
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,240
