1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Live here at Grand Park. We're back Colt's first day

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: of practice and the third year wide out. Josh Downs

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: joins us right now.

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: Josh, you were talking to the media a little bit earlier.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned different focus kind of some of your off

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: season training. Could you expand a little bit on that.

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: What was different about?

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, just really looking at my game and what I

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 3: feel like I need to improve on, and then started

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: working with a new receiver trainer and tried to hone

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: in on those specifics and work them, work what I

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: feel like I need to do most importantly, and then

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 3: also refining the things that I feel like I do well.

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: And then really just being in shape is a huge thing.

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: So pushing myself to the limit of being just tired.

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of footballs play when you're when

17
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: you're really exhausted. So it's like going out there and

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: working out when you're one hundred percent every day is

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 3: not really realistic because after two days of camp you're

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: going to be already shot. So at the end of

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: the day, those two things for me were very important.

22
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: Which whiteout is winning the conditioning test.

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: Oh see, I mean we're a competitive group. I like,

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: I mean, I think if we're just doing conditioning, I

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: will win. But I think Alex would say he'd win.

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: I feel like a d would say he'd win. So

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like he did. Mentioned you know,

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: it's been a little I don't think. I mean, look,

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: I'm just I mean, you know, just I'm just going

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: off who who I think is most athletic in the group.

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: So you can throw dueling in there too, and then

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: google Ethny, google real athletic as well. So we got

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: a pretty athletic group.

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 4: So you mentioned that wide receiver room, which I think

35
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: is probably one of the strongest groups on this team.

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 4: How do you all push each other when you know

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: it's only one ball and obviously you're happy for someone

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: else's success, but as you mentioned a few minutes ago,

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: you want to make sure that when I'm open to

40
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: guy goes to me. So what is it like just

41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: battling with those guys in the room to you know,

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: raise the level?

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

44
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: No, we're all a family. So at the end of

45
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: the day, your brother doing good, you're you're really happy

46
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: for him. But also, as you know, receivers all got

47
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: that little not diva but air receiver wants the ball,

48
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: So you got to just go out there and take

49
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: advantage of every opportunity you get. So like times like

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: this is the perfect time to go out there and

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: do what you're supposed to do. When when they call

52
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: your number, make the play. So then when when Sundays

53
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: come around, they they have no other obligation too, but

54
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: then to call your number and then yeah, I mean

55
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: the targets, that's just what it may be. But you

56
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: got to just go out there and make the players

57
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: that come your way.

58
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: It's the best thing you did the soft season, favorite

59
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: thing you did the off season.

60
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: The best thing I did. Like, uh can I can

61
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: I go back into the spring too?

62
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: Sure?

63
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, best thing I did. Me and my me

64
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 3: and my girl with the Disney World, that was that

65
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: was a great time.

66
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: Oh boy, now that sounds like hell to me.

67
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: I got no kids right now. A little different.

68
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: So adult Disney World looks like what I mean, are

69
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: you riding?

70
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, right, the Rise you know Orlando they got.

71
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: We stayed at this place called the Conrad they got.

72
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: They got a great golf course, great spa, excellent food there.

73
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: So it was just it was.

74
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: Like that sounds a lot better.

75
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: There was a lot of stuff. Besides is Disney, right,

76
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: and then like Orlando has good like restaurants and stuff,

77
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: so we was out there eating too.

78
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: There you go.

79
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: All right.

80
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: We mentioned a little bit earlier the California trip. You know,

81
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: obviously teams do this pretty much every off season where

82
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: the QBS and the past catchers get together. What was

83
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: that like for you guys, take fans a little bit

84
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and what you guys did. Obviously some

85
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: work on the field, but also a little bit of

86
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: fun time off the field.

87
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no work on the field in the morning,

88
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: and then the rest of the day is really like

89
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: team bonding kind of things. Like I said, we went fishing,

90
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: we went we went golfing, and then we went out

91
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: to dinner every night and then sometimes went out. But

92
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: it was it's just a it's a good time to just,

93
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: you know, like I said, see your teammates off the

94
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: field and not just like every day go out there

95
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: and see the dude with the helmet on. You're you're

96
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: hanging out with them off the field at a restaurant,

97
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: going fishing, going golfing, so you really see like their

98
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: true personality and and yeah, football brings you a lot

99
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: of your closest friends. So I feel like a lot

100
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: of my best friends in life are front football. So

101
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: I felt like that opens up that window as well.

102
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: You got some Scottie Scheffler in your game.

103
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not. I see Look, I'm all right. I

104
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: say Alex is the best golfer in the group. But

105
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: if I really want to work at it, I can

106
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: be good. But I just I've just been inconsistent at

107
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: the work.

108
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: That sounds like every golf rider.

109
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm a guy that's got a little bit off.

110
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: It's just fun. But golf is one of them sports.

111
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: It is just so like you think you're doing good

112
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: one hole, and then you get to the next hole

113
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, just like, WHOA, what is this?

114
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: It's tough. Josh.

115
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 4: You mentioned a few minutes ago that obviously the goal

116
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: this year is gets a playoffs, like it is every year.

117
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 4: But what have you learned just through the first couple

118
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: of years of your career about how hard it is

119
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: to win at this level and how hard it is

120
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: to maybe sustain that in the NFL?

121
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: Nah, definitely, It's it comes down to like who's the

122
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: most disciplined team and who makes the less mistakes because

123
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: the talent gap on each team is so slim. So

124
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it's it's being disciplined,

125
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: it's it's really doing everything that when you're tired, you're

126
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: not gonna go out there and make mistakes. So I

127
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: feel like, yeah, winning at this level is incredibly hard

128
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: because you can watch a team on film and be like, oh,

129
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: I don't they might not look that good, but then

130
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: you go out there and play and it's like, well

131
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: they beat us, and it's like we you see back

132
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: on the tape you made a lot of mistakes. So yeah,

133
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: this level is just I feel like it's about discipline

134
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: and making the less mistakes than the team in front

135
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: of you. So yeah, this year, we gotta we gotta

136
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: just hone in on the details. Everybody do their job.

137
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: It's been a nice start at the NFL career for

138
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: Josh Downsy's with us here. Year three upcoming for him.

139
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

140
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: If you could take any quality from one of those

141
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: other wide outs in your room and put that into

142
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: your game, what would it be?

143
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, any quality? Let's see, I would Uh, I

144
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: probably take a p's uh dep ball ability. Yeah, I'll

145
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: take that. Yeah, I'll take I'll take a deep into ability.

146
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: I'll take that.

147
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: What would they say for you? What would they take

148
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: from you?

149
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: They probably take my my quickness or let's see my quickness,

150
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: or yeah, i'll say my my agility.

151
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: Now, we had Kenny Moore on the show yesterday. James

152
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: and now are going back and forth. Would Kenny or

153
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: Josh take the bait?

154
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: Best out of seven? One on one? Out here? You

155
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: or Kenny?

156
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: Did he take? Did he take the bait?

157
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: Well? I was hoping you'd answer first.

158
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: I mean I'm going best out of seven. I mean

159
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm going with me for show, best out of seven.

160
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Like Pacers Thunder, best out of seven, like like like

161
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup for three or we sweet.

162
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: Four one for two? Maybe yeah yeah, man looking like

163
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 3: a true wide receiver. Yeah, you gotta would give him

164
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: one out of respect? Well yeah two yeah, two out

165
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: of respect? One, Okay, I'll give you one.

166
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: Now Kenny wouldn't answer. Is that a lack of confidence

167
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: out of him?

168
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: No? No, it's just him just he just he just

169
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: being a vet. And I'm just I'm just the youngest.

170
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: So you got you know, you gotta bring it to

171
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 3: the vent. That's how it goes it every sport, the

172
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: young cat gotta go after the o.

173
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: G now from afar, when I see one versus twenty three,

174
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: I perk up like I'm like.

175
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: This is good versus good.

176
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Do you feel that way like when you see him

177
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: across me?

178
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I love. I love going against Kenny.

179
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 3: He's one of the best slot nickels in the league,

180
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: best corners in the league, So I know going against

181
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: him every day is going against the best. It's not

182
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: just going against like some slap that's in front of me.

183
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: So I feel like when he's in front of me,

184
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: it's it's I'm giving my I'm giving my best every time.

185
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: And he helps me go against better guys on Sunday

186
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: as well, so well he's better than most of the

187
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: guys on Sunday, so he helps me in that manner.

188
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I love going against Kenny. I really only

189
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: go against him in a lot of drills because I

190
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: feel like that's how it's supposed to be. You're not

191
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: supposed to try to go against somebody that's not the best.

192
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: Josh, Obviously, you don't decide who's gonna try a quarterback. Boy,

193
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: has it been like just building chemistry obviously no Ar already,

194
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: but building chemistry with Daniel Jones and throughout this quarterback battle.

195
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Na DJ DJ is a great dude, So I mean,

196
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: you gotta, you gotta, you gotta mess with both of

197
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: them at the end of the day, they're both really

198
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: good quarterbacks, but they both go with the ones they rotate.

199
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: So it's like when you're when like like I said,

200
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: when your numbers called, you gotta make the best of

201
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: the opportunity. So he's he's a new quarterback, so he

202
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: comes in. If a play is called to you, it's

203
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: about making the play because that'll build confidence with you

204
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: and him. If you if you can keep messing up

205
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: or you're not not getting open or not catching the ball,

206
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: then that's that's his first impression and he's like, I

207
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: don't know about this guy, So that kind of hurts you.

208
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: So right now is a huge opportunity as well as

209
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: the spring, like when your number is called, go out

210
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: there if he's in there, and make the plays as

211
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: well as Ar, because yeah, he's even though we've known

212
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: him for a while, we still got to build that

213
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: with a mision. Every year, not every year is the same,

214
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: not every week. It's the same.

215
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: So just a couple of minutes left here with Josh Downs.

216
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: You appreciate his time as close training camp is getting underway.

217
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: How would you describe an Anthony Richardson throwing ball? How

218
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: would you describe a Daniel Jones thrown Oh?

219
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: That's I mean, uh, they're both really good, both really

220
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: good balls. I mean I just say, like Anthony has

221
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: like one of the strongest arms in the league. So

222
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: it's just a little faster. Yeah, that's all.

223
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned in your media session that you're kind of

224
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: hoping the playbook opens up a little bit more for you,

225
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: Like it will open up a little bit more for you.

226
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Could you kind of expand on where you think your

227
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: game will grow. I guess the Shane Steikens offense.

228
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I just you know, as the years goes on,

229
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: the coaches confidence and you gets better, and you get

230
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: more confidence in office. So I feel like they just

231
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: give us, like not even just me, like pitt alec ad,

232
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: They'll just give us more freedom and what to do

233
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: and allow us to, i mean work even more because

234
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: we're a rookie day they kind of like try to

235
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: tell you what to do, but they don't want you

236
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: to do too much. But as like we're vets in offense,

237
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: they're like, hey, y'all can maybe add this to your

238
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: route or do this a little more, so just things

239
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: like that.

240
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 4: So I'll do with this. I know it didn't end

241
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: well for the Pacers with Tyre's Hallibird and the Achilles,

242
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: but you were pretty early on saying they were going

243
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: to the finals. I want to say it might have

244
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: been like in the second round of the playoffs. So

245
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: what was it like for you, as you know, who

246
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: plays a professional sport to be a fan of them

247
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: and see them going that run?

248
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was cool to see how they they

249
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: really got the city to jump and be alive, and

250
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: it kind of like motivated me in a sense like hey,

251
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 3: like if they can do it, like we got to

252
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 3: do it as well, because I mean everybody was down

253
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: on them as well. They were saying they was gonna

254
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: lose to the US than the Calves, then the Knicks,

255
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: and it's like they just keep wanting to win, and

256
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: they really they really could have won the last game.

257
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: Like when Halliburn got hurt, broke my heart, Uh actually

258
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: broke my heart a lot. So I was I was

259
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: looking forward to them winning, But yeah, I mean motivation

260
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: to us and the team as well to pick up

261
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: our slack, like, okay, they made it to the finals,

262
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: Like let's let's do something ourselves so that they can

263
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: see that we're we're we're on our way as well.

264
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: So last last one, have you had to show any

265
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: IU fans that pump returned from your brother just to remind.

266
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: Them they are they already seen? They already seen that

267
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: pump return enough. I posted every time I see it

268
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: and they were mad that day when I was going

269
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: for Ohio State. They was like, Dan, you're you're gonna

270
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: betray your state. I was like, blood, I'm I'm like, dang,

271
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: I think family trumps stuff everything else. But I was like,

272
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: I guess not. So No.

273
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: One thousand Josh Downs year three in the NFL. He

274
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: is with us here live at Grand Park. Josh stay healthy.

275
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Man appreciates time.

Speaker 3: Yes, sir, thank you,
