4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,920

Speaker 2: some people.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: He's got some interesting interpretations of out of bounds rules

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: in golf. I think he's liberal with his what's the

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: lost ball? What's the no?

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,040

Speaker 1: You know, very grateful for that. So means a lot.

43
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: And you know, something I take very seriously. I understand

44
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of work ahead and and and a

45
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: lot of you know, personally to improve and from a

46
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: rehab standpoint, and just overall as a player, and then

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, from a team aspect and making sure we're

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: ready to go as a group.

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: You mentioned the rehab you you you said on McAfee

50
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: that you talk you the same surgeon as the one

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: who did tyres Halburton's achilles and you kind of talk

52
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: to him. Just what were those conversations like about just

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: the you know, I think with the process about recovery.

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: Just what were your sort of conversations like with him?

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, you know, it's it's helpful to hear

56
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: experiences from as many people as you can, especially someone

57
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: who's been through uh, such a similar process you know,

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: recently like him, and and uh, you know every surgeon,

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: every doctor has slightly different variations on you know, their

60
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: rehab protocol, you know, especially the initial stages and initial recovery.

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: So uh, knowing that he had a pretty similar uh process,

62
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: and and just you know from a mindset standpoint, how

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: he approached it from a rehab and and you know,

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: you know how he set that up and where he

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: was and and just just all those things, you know,

66
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: helpful to collect as much information as you can while

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: also understanding your your process is going to be a

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: little bit different and and you know everyone has slightly

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: different experiences. But if you can educate yourself and collect

70
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: as much information as you can, I think you know

71
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: you're you're in a better spot to make decisions and

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: and kind of go about your process.

73
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: How do you compartmentalize the like the ultimate goal of

74
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: like rehabing to get back on the field, you know,

75
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: whenever that may be, versus the like day to day

76
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: grind of it, Like how do you go into each

77
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: day of rehab? Are you thinking about the big picture

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: or is it just like I have to do this today,

79
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: this today, and this today.

80
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's it.

81
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I think you try to try to make it as

82
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, shortsighted in the you know, kind of while

83
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: you're on task and while you're you know, what you

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: need to accomp puplished for that day. I think, you know,

85
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of trust in and your physical therapists

86
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: and your your trainers. Unfortunately, we have great uh physical

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: therapists here and trainers you know, with with Aaron Burrill

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: and and Kyle Davis and and their staff. So it's

89
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: trusting that process, understanding that if I hit hit those marks,

90
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: if I can do what they tell me to do today,

91
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: then I'll be in a better position tomorrow to to

92
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: do that again. And then at some point you zoom

93
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: out and see, you know, how far you've come in

94
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: a month or two months or three months, and you

95
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: just continue to do that through the whole process. But

96
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I think if you take two wide a lens initially

97
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: and try to see it, you know, you're constantly saying,

98
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, trying to see the whole process, and and

99
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, why am I not here yet? I think you'll, uh,

100
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: you can drive yourself crazy. But yeah, it's uh, it's

101
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: been good. I've enjoyed it so far.

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: What's something that you would like fans to understand about

103
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: the rehab process because like when when players go through it,

104
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of like you fancy and like, oh,

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: he'll be back in six to nine months, but like

106
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: they're not seeing the day to day of it. And

107
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not seeing the data day of it.

108
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: But you then come back and you know it's like, oh, great,

109
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: he's back. But like in that stretch where you're going

110
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: through it, like, what's something you you think maybe people

111
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: should or could maybe understand about it.

112
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a long process.

113
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think injuries are tough, you

114
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: know for sure, and you know you hear athletes talk

115
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: about that. I think they are. They are tough. But

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: at the same time you're training. I mean, it's it's

117
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: like training like you would in any offseason, and now

118
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: your training's directed it, you know, in my case, my

119
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: achilles and preparing that.

120
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 3: So they're tough.

121
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: Parts about it, but they're tougher, they're tougher things, you know,

122
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: And I think it's just it. I mean, it is

123
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: just a process and sticking to that and understanding where

124
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: you need to be, trusting the people around you, trusting

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: the guidance you get from from them.

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I think.

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know from from a fans standpoint, you know,

128
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: you see what there is on on Sundays and getting

129
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: back to the season, But I'd say from a rehab

130
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: standpoint or just from any offseason, there's a lot that

131
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: goes on. You know, in the off season where you're training,

132
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: you're focusing on things, you're trying to make small incremental

133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: improvement and whatever it is. And in my case, that's

134
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: my achilles. There's also you know, there's a number of

135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: other things you're working on at the same time. But

136
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot going into those seventeen weeks

137
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: plus the postseason, and that's you know, it's a year

138
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: round process.

139
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: When I had you on the pod last before the

140
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: start of the season, something we talked about was that

141
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: you said, there's genius in the simplicity of Shane Steichen's

142
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: offense and the way that he views offense. And I

143
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: thought about that a lot over the first half of

144
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: the season. When you Cults are number one in offense,

145
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: number one and points scored, point differential, all these things.

146
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: How did that, How did like Shane's approach and then

147
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: your approach to the game lead to the success that

148
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: you guys had together last season?

149
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think we had we had good plays,

150
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, we had we had good game plans, we

151
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: had we had stuff that that worked. You know, some

152
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: of those situations where uh, Shane, the offensive staff would say, hey,

153
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: we expect them to do this and here's what it

154
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: could look like and and make sure you're ready for this,

155
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: and things would play out that way. So as a quarterback,

156
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: I think you want to understand the game plan. You

157
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: want to understand what they what they want you to do,

158
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: what they're expecting you to do. Uh, be able to

159
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: recognize it and be able to execute when it's there,

160
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: and then when it's not there, you know, can I

161
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: quickly make a decision that doesn't put us put us

162
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: in trouble so we can get the next opportunity. And

163
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: I think just practicing that, understanding that preparing yourself for

164
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: that throughout the week, you know, I think, yeah, communication

165
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: was huge, just an understanding of what, you know, how

166
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: the game plan was built, the things we were looking for,

167
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: the things we didn't like as much, and kind of

168
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: how to handle both of those situations.

169
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: Is there something Is there a difference in like how

170
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: your relationship grows with with the head coach us a

171
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: play caller in Shane from like what you're putting together

172
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: in OTAs in training camp and then like when it

173
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: actually works during the season, Like how does that grow

174
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: that relationship or continue to build it?

175
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

176
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it definitely helps helps that you know

177
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: you have success and you know you see the the

178
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: hard work and a lot of the behind the scenes

179
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: stuff pay off. You know, on the field and you

180
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: get the results you want.

181
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: I think that that.

182
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Helps, you know, it helps everybody, helps helps build confidence

183
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: and energizes everybody towards the next goal and the next opportunity.

184
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: So you know, it's fun and you.

185
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: Know, even when things didn't work as well or you know,

186
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: or there was a tough week or a tough drive

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: even or tough play. I think just the you know,

188
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: the the attitude that you know, we're not gonna lose confidence.

189
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep calling it, we keep giving you chances,

190
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: We're going to keep you know, I think that means

191
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot. Playing quarterback, you want to feel like you

192
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: know you're gonna keep getting shots at it, You're gonna

193
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: keep getting chances to make plays.

194
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: And I felt like that.

195
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean I felt like that in training camp, you know,

196
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: when I got here, and then you know, throughout the

197
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: season and just how Shane would would call the games,

198
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: how he would prepare, prepare week to week. It was like,

199
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some chances and if it doesn't go great,

200
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get another chance.

201
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: And and you know that goes a long way.

202
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: The developing trust in your past catchers was this, this

203
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: is an Alex Pierce question. But he's coming up on

204
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: the pot a little bit later. And one of the

205
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: plays we talked about was that it was like a

206
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: fifteen yard in breaker against Arizona where he you came

207
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: to him like the night before the game and said, Hey,

208
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: if they're in cover two, I'm throwing it to you

209
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: here and you fit that thing in like this tiny

210
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: little hole between the linebacker and I think it was

211
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: the corner. Yeah, and he made it. He you know,

212
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: got his hands around, made a cat need a play

213
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: in it. But like when you have to trust a

214
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: receiver like that to be like, hey, I need you

215
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 2: in this spot, in this tiny little window and I'm

216
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: gonna rip that throw. What how does the work that

217
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: you put in n O. T A's in you know,

218
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: those off season throwing sessions in training camp, how does

219
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: that lead up to that moment where you can say, hey, Alex,

220
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: this ball's going to you and you know I trust

221
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: you to go make the play there.

222
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's that's largely timing. I

223
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: remember we I was sitting in before I told I

224
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: like that, you know, one of me and Shane's meetings

225
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: on Saturday and and going through that plays that play.

226
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, what if they play cover two here, are

227
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: you good if I you know, if I do this

228
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: and change you know? And Shane's like, yeah, of course,

229
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: I think that's I think it's great. And then you

230
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: look at the play. There were two guys oh you

231
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: know we had an in cut and there was another

232
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: guy open uh too. But you know, just kind of

233
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: that confidence and communication that like, hey, Shane has you know,

234
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: he believes in it too.

235
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: He thinks that's you know, that's a good idea. Go

236
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: for it. Rip it.

237
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: So you come out of the fake and hit your

238
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: back foot and it's like you throw you know, it's

239
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: it's there's that trust and confidence to just let it rip.

240
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: There's confidence because you know Alex is going to be

241
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: in that spot and kind of all that's led up

242
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: to to letting you feel like you can you can

243
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: let it rip. And I think that goes a long way.

244
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: And you know, when it's a tight window, you gotta

245
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: be on time and you got to have that confidence

246
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: to to let it go and having the conversations, being

247
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: able to prepare for it going in, having confidence in

248
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: your teammate. I mean, I think all that is what

249
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: you know helps helps you be successful.

250
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: What excites you about the opportunity to continue growing with

251
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: Alec moving forward?

252
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I mean he can do so much.

253
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: He can you know, you guys have seen for a

254
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: number of years the plays he can make down the field,

255
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: how he can change the game from an explosive play

256
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: deep ball standpoint, and you saw that last year. I

257
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: think he's he's the best guy in the league at that.

258
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: And he can he can do that, and then you

259
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: know all the other stuff too in the in the

260
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: intermediate game, the end cuts, the crossers, the deep outs,

261
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. UF, he's hard. He's a hard

262
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: guy to guard one because he can run past you

263
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: and and and guys are scared of that. And then yeah,

264
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean he can do he can do everything. So

265
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: continuing to to feature him and get him the ball

266
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: and he was a big time difference make his force

267
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: last year, and excited to uh continue to work with

268
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: him this year.

269
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: So when I had Alex on the pod last year,

270
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: I asked him, like, what's something about Daniel that might

271
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: surprise some people, And he brought up how whenever you

272
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: guys were like throwing routes over the summer that there

273
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: there's a group of like lacrosse kids playing lacrosse and

274
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: you went and you like, hey man, let me shoot

275
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: him at the net. And you you missed the net

276
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: and chucked it over like Alex. Alex like giggling at

277
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: the thought of these kids chasing after the ball there.

278
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: So I mean I wouldn't make I didn't make anybody

279
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: go chase the ball. But uh, there were some duke

280
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: lacrosse kids. We were in New Jersey, I think working

281
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: out with some of my yeah, some old teammates and stuff,

282
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: And I played lacrosse back in the day, so I

283
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: was gonna let it rip. I missed like six in

284
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: a row, and I don't have my stick.

285
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: Though. If I could get my stick, I think I

286
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: had a chance. I don't know.

287
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: I don't think I've made I don't think I've made

Speaker 1: anybody shag lacrosse falls for me.

289
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think I would have done.

290
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So here's your chance to get Alec back. Then,

291
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: what's something you learned about Alec Pierce that might surprise

292
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: some people.

293
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: He's got some interesting interpretations of out of bounds rules

294
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: in golf.

295
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,320

310
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: way and brings a lot of people together.

311

00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: like if you're playing to scramble and you got to

313
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: break part.

314
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: I don't.

315
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I have much confidence in us breaking

316
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: par with I think scramble we should be able to.

317
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I mean probably Alec Riley, probably Tyler,

318
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I'd say, yeah, maybe Tyler. Yeah, that might be the foursome.

319
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: See, I've seen I've seen clips of Sauce.

320
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sauce is pretty good. I've seen it.

321
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: I haven't played with him. I've seen him play though,

322
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: and seen him swing. He's got a good looking swing.

323
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: It's like very fluid, which would make sense you came

324
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: here from, you know, spend all his time in New

325
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: York with the Giants. And I've always wondered this, like

326
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: New York is such like a great food city, right,

327
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: but like did you ever like go into New York

328
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: City like to grab food? And like the question I

329
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: have is like with Indy, where I was like, I

330
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: came from Chicago, another great food city, but I'm like

331
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: Indy's got great restaurants if you know where to go,

332
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: you kind of know where, like what spots to go to,

333
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: Like what do you appreciate about Indie's food scene versus

334
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: maybe like a New York where I don't know, just

335
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: harder to get to.

336
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I'm still still learning a lot

337
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: about the indie food scene and trying to trying to

338
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: learn all the spots. If you've got any good good

339
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: uh less you know, off the beaten past spots, let

340
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: me know. But yeah, I think you know great restaurants

341
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: here downtown, I think a number of great steakhouses and

342
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: steak spots, and then uh yeah, finding the different spots

343
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: in between.

344
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: I think it's been it's been fun.

345
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think just just being out and seeing

346
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: seeing people and and.

347
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, I've really enjoyed being here in Indie.

348
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: I always say like it's a very easy city to

349
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: live in, and it's very like communal, like you just

350
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: kind of go anywhere and you run into someone you

351
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: know or I'm sure for you you probably get it

352
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: a lot when you're out, you know, just but like

353
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: fans here are so so supportive for sure.

354
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: Feels like, yeah, absolutely.

355
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: I think that's something I realized early on last year

356
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: when I first got here, uh and the Pacers were

357
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: going on their run and the city was juiced and

358
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: supporting them. You know, I was like, Wow, you know

359
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: this this city really does care about their sports teams.

360
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: It's important.

361
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of energy, passion, intensity for for that

362
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: and makes you, you know, it's exciting, makes you, you know,

363
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: makes you want to be a part of it, be

364
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: on the field for a crowd and the fans who

365
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: show that support and appreciation. So I've really enjoyed being

00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: contract with the Colts out. Congrats man. How does it

492
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: feel to be staying here in Indy?

493
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 4: Feels great? You know this is what I wanted.

494
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: So happy. The average length of an NFL career is

495
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: less than four years. Right like when you get into

496
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: the league, it's probably like drilled into your head, like

497
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: it's hard to make it in this league. You've made

498
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: it four years and now you've got this second contract,

499
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: which is something so many players aspire to have. You

500
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: taken any time over the last couple of days to

501
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: kind of like reflect on the journey that got you here,

502
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: the people that helped you get here.

503
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I was, you know, I was back

504
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 5: home on this past couple of days too, clenn Allen, Illinois,

505
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 5: So that was like just just being around there, like

506
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 5: you know, I drive past and see like like the

507
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 5: pee wee football field I played on, Like the high

508
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: school field I actually ran into myhigh school football coaches.

509
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 4: Is kind of funny.

510
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 5: So I think, yeah, it's just been like just reminiscent

511
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 5: for sure, like just of everything that's that's gone into it,

512
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 5: and it's been a special journey and just excited, like

513
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 5: I think it's just only the beginning. I feel like

514
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 5: there's so much more to do and so much more

515
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 5: that's gonna be added to the story.

516
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: I think sometimes when players get these, you know, second contracts,

517
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes it can go one of two ways.

518
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 2: It can go, Like, you know, you you feel like

519
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 2: you made it. How do you view this, and and

520
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: where do you feel like you have to go now

521
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: that you've kind of reached this point in your career.

522
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think now it's all about the team and

523
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 5: being the best team we can become. You know, Like

524
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 5: I think I haven't had an opportunity in the four

525
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 5: years I've been in the league to go to the playoffs.

526
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 5: I think it's it's that there's a lot of things

527
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 5: as a team, like we need to win the division.

528
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 5: There's so many things in that route that I feel

529
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 5: like I have not accomplished at all. So that's gonna

530
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: be That's obviously always the goal, you know, but I

531
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 5: think now for me, like that is like like the

532
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: soul goal, you know, win games. What can we do

533
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 5: to to bring a championship back to Indianapolis?

534
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: How does that drive your like off season, the work

535
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: you put in just kind of that that goal of

536
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: like let's bring a championship, but let's win the division,

537
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: let's make the playoffs. Like how does that is that

538
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: like in the back of your head as you're lifting, training,

539
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: doing any of those things, Like how do you use

540
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: that as motivation?

541
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I think the biggest thing would be like.

542
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: Just developing, like the relationships within the you know, guys

543
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 5: on the team and stuff. So like in the off season,

544
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 5: I know how important it will be to be with

545
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: my quarterback and to be just you know with other guys,

546
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 5: especially guys in the offense and stuff. You know, get

547
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 5: together with Josh Downs and Tyler Warren and Daniel Jones,

548
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 5: you know, guys like that. Let's all work together and

549
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 5: work on you know, becoming the best players we can

550
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 5: be individually, but together so we all get better as

551
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 5: a team.

552
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: What does it mean to you to be able to

553
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: play with Daniel now going forward?

554
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 4: So special? That's that was like my biggest thing.

555
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 5: I was harping on and throughout this whole process, Like

556
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: you know, I'm not talking to the front office or

557
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 5: anything like that, but I was telling my agents. I'm like, hey, hey,

558
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 5: make sure you tell him like it like Daniel Jones.

559
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 5: Dan Jones, like this is a quarterback and I wanted

560
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 5: to play with like that. That was something and they

561
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 5: knew for like negotiations and stuff like that, Like it

562
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 5: was you know, it's it's hard for for me to

563
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 5: commit to a team without a quarterback and play, so

564
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 5: like they were they were working on Daniels stuff in

565
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 5: the beginning, and that was kind of always like there,

566
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 5: like we got to get this done. And then yeah,

567
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: because I because I.

568
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: I not not because I expressed that.

569
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 5: I know they want him obviously clearly, but yeah, Daniel's

570
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 5: spend a special quarterback to play with and some day

571
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 5: I believe in you know completely, so I know we

572
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 5: can be we can be great with him my quarterback.

573
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: Well, what about him makes him special as a quarterback?

574
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 5: I think, you know, I think the way he approaches

575
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 5: like the week and just preparation and stuff like that.

576
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 4: I think he's just so.

577
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 5: Ready to go for Sunday, and I think he completely

578
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 5: understands the game plan and the other team were playing,

579
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 5: like the scout of report stuff like that. I think

580
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 5: that's like really where he kind of you know, gets

581
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 5: himself a little bit ahead. And then obviously he's got

582
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 5: the skill, so he's got the athleticism, the ability to

583
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 5: make all the throws. And I think that leadership aspect,

584
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 5: just like with the preparation, I think it feels into

585
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 5: everybody and everybody you know, kind of leans into that

586
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 5: and can can learn from that.

587
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: Is that just like you know, everyone's kind of pulling

588
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: in the same direction with him kind of leading it.

589
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah up there. Yeah, And I think I think too,

590
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: when you feel prepared, it builds confidence. It brings confidence.

591
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 5: So I think you walk on on a field feeling

592
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 5: like ready to go, and then you're that's a confident team,

593
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 5: and a confidence team is a hard team to be.

594
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: How did he help your game? Because, like you you've

595
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 2: talked a little bit on like other podcasts about like

596
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 2: kind of expanding your you know, your route tree and

597
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: expanding the routes that you're getting. Like the one throw

598
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: I thought about, uh, was the one against Arizona where

599
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: you run that kind of it was like a fifteen

600
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 2: yard dig and he puts that thing like almost behind you,

601
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 2: but the linebackers like roboting out to go make a

602
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: play on it, and he puts it like in this

603
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: tiny little window. Did be able to make a catch?

604
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: Like how did he help you maybe grow in that

605
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: area last year.

606
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 5: So that you couldn't have asked about a better play

607
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 5: because that it plays the example of like really what

608
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 5: I'm saying with Daniel in preparation, so like we always

609
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 5: get together, we meet. I think it's like Saturday, and

610
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 5: I think it's like the last second before the games,

611
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 5: but he kind of goes over some film and some

612
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 5: plays that are on like the play sheet, and like

613
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: certain looks like what he's thinking and just hearing kind

614
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 5: of like that quarterback mindset. So that was one play

615
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: right there, and I remember him saying, like the play

616
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 5: that necessarily like never went to me. In practice, we

617
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 5: had Josh on some type of like kind of double

618
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 5: move like like whe were out, No, I'm setting up

619
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 5: the the inbreaker hoping to grab the coverage and then

620
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 5: send Josh kind of get him isolating a linebacker and

621
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 5: then go deep on him. And Daniel told me like, hey,

622
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: if it's cover two, like you're my answer, and he

623
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 5: just said that.

624
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: That was just like that quick little sentence.

625
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 5: And then in the game I get out there and

626
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 5: you know, quarterback tries to put some hands and he

627
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 5: doesn't run with me.

628
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 4: See the safety at the top.

629
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, it's cover two right here, and yeah,

630
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 5: because I barely got my head around and touched the ball,

631
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 5: but like I knew as soon as I got the guy,

632
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: as soon as I saw cover two right away, I

633
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 5: knew then I was like, oh, this ball probably is

634
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 5: gonna come to me, Like he said in the meetings,

635
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 5: like and if I don't think if he would have

636
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: said I don't think if he would have said that,

637
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 5: I don't think I would have got my head around

638
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 5: and caught the ball because it was literally like if

639
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 5: caught like the back half of the ball, Like, I

640
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 5: don't think I could have been any later getting my

641
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 5: eyes around and catching it. So stuff like that, just

642
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 5: the preparation and just being on the same page and communicating, well,

643
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 5: like that's special, that's what you need between the quarterback

644
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 5: and his receivers.

645
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

646
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: The other one I thought about was that kind of

647
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: it was like a drag rot you ran on that

648
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: third and six against the Broncos. Yeah, where you're kind

649
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: of face up, uncertain, you beat him and you just

650
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: kind of run, but Daniel like buys just enough time

651
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: with that pass rush to get the ball to you.

652
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

653
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: Like those are plays to where he clearly trusted you,

654
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: just kind of like right from the jump last year.

655
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: How did that kind of develop?

656
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think he trusted all of us receivers.

657
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 5: You know, I think he knew he knew like what

658
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: we knew what we needed to do on the certain

659
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 5: plays like that play, right, there like that was that's

660
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 5: a mesh concepts, Manda man coverage, Like I'm the guy

661
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 5: he's gonna come to on that, Like he's probably checking

662
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 5: the like the running back then to me, and so

663
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 5: I knew I'm gonna get lined up. I see, I

664
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 5: recognize man coverage. I know I gotta run this route

665
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 5: to win. There, same goes with I think it was

666
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 5: probably Josh or Tyler on the other side. Yeah, they know, okay,

667
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 5: like it's Mando man coverage. I got to try to

668
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 5: get some type of interference, you know, at least make

669
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 5: the guy like like run run, like run around.

670
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 4: Me or something like that.

671
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 5: So yeah, like I think we all just I think

672
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 5: he the confidence comes and he knows that we know

673
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 5: what we gotta do, and he trusts that we can

674
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 5: all win win against man coverage. So I think he's

675
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 5: confident interesting all of us.

676
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: One other one about Daniel. When I had you on

677
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: the pod last September, I asked you, like, what's something

678
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: about Daniel that might surprise people that you've learned about him?

679
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: And you said, every time you're you're like you throw

680
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: some routes. Uh, if there's kids playing lacrosse, he'll grabble

681
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: lacrosse stick and he'll like whip the ball, but it

682
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: always goes way over the net. And you were just

683
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: like giggling about these kids chasing after the ball.

684
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was funny.

685
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: What's something else you learned about him? Maybe, like seeing

686
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 2: how he went through last year with the highs of

687
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: the first ten games too, you know, the lows of

688
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: dealing with this broken leg to the Achilles. Like, what's

689
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: something else you maybe learned about him last year?

690
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

691
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 5: I think I learned, you know, how great of a

692
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 5: teammate he's, how much he cares about all of us,

693
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 5: Like I think seeing him, like especially with like Riley

694
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 5: Leonard is like a great example, like the last game,

695
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 5: Like I know, he cared probably so much about how

696
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 5: well Riley could do there, and like he was in

697
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 5: there helping him prepare, doing everything he could because he's

698
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 5: he really wants, you know, he wants everyone to succeed.

699
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 5: He wants everyone to do well. And like I you know,

700
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 5: and you could say that game for our team, like

701
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 5: we already have the playoffs, so I guess it did

702
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 5: like for the team tecondly, it really didn't matter for

703
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 5: a whole lot, But I think he just knew, like

704
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 5: like this is so important for Riley, and so I

705
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 5: think just just seeing that, like seeing how much he

706
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 5: really cares and wants all of us to do great.

707
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: I think in that.

708
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: Game where you like, oh my god, was my last

709
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: moment as a cult getting ejected? Did that cross your mind?

710
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

711
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 4: That would be a crazy way to go out. That's

712
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: why I had to come back here.

713
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 5: You know, I can't can't end on that goodness, It

714
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 5: wasn't right.

715
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: Do you know what the most like mileage you've ever

716
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: ran in a game is? Do you know? I don't.

717
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: I wish I did, but because you you you do

718
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: run a lot of these vertical routes. Yeah, whether you're

719
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: getting the ball or not.

720
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 4: Some good cardio out there, Yeah, right.

721
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: Like how do you train for that? Because it's like

722
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: we can look at it and say, oh, he probably

723
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: just runs under treadmill, but like you're also getting jammed

724
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: by a cornerback. You've got to be blocking in the

725
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: run game. It's not just as simple as like you

726
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: just run a bunch.

727
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you just gotta.

728
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 5: You just gotta stay in shape, you know, Like I

729
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 5: try not to ever really get out of shape, like

730
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 5: I'll take some time off, like like I'm not like

731
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 5: necessarily working on football and stuff like that, but I'm

732
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: still like finding ways like getting on a bike or

733
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 5: like getting finding ways to get the heart rate up

734
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 5: and just keep your body just in shape, you know.

735
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,239
Speaker 2: I mean, because like soccer players run a ton, but

736
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: it's just it's a different kind of running, and I

737
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: don't know, just like the physicality that comes with all

738
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: that running. Yeah, Like I guess, how do you prepare

739
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: your body for the physicality of an NFL season? Is

740
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: there a way you can do it in terms of

741
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: like training, Yeah, I think training camp.

742
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 5: Or Yeah, I try to just get my body like

743
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 5: moving functionally as good as it can going into the season,

744
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 5: knowing that there's gonna be some injuries that happen.

745
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 4: There's gonna be some things.

746
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 5: That get your body off of that, right, So that's

747
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 5: like what really I'd say the off season, especially like

748
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 5: to like this point, it's more so about just getting

749
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 5: like like almost physical therapy type work and getting your

750
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 5: body just moving as functioning as well as possible, because

751
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 5: when you do have something off and you're you're not

752
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 5: like moving the right way, you know, then that that's

753
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 5: when you start having other injuries. And that's kind of

754
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 5: what you'll see like during the season, like, oh, it

755
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 5: might be minor, but say you got you got tackled

756
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 5: and you got rolled up and your ankle's not great, right,

757
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 5: and then you start getting off a little bit and

758
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 5: you're in you're you're you're breaking down only on the

759
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 5: other leg and stuff like that, and then it's like

760
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 5: you have an injury, like a like a worse injury

761
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 5: on that side. So like I always just try to

762
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 5: make sure, like can we get everything back to how

763
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 5: it moving and work and how it should be, because

764
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 5: like we don't want to be you know, just like

765
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 5: favoring anything.

766
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's pivot here. Give me the Big

767
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,319

779
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like you need guys who fill

780
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 5: certain roles, and Caid is the type of guy.

781
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 4: Like he's he's like a double double type guy.

782
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 5: He's gonna get rebounds, he's gonna play defense, He'll score points.

783
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 5: But like I know, I think his game is really

784
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 5: like complimentary, and I think it's like I think it's

785
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 5: because he's he's always grown up playing with So Brayden

786
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 5: Huff went to.

787
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 4: Our high school, who's like Gonzaga. Yeah, so he's grown up.

788
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 5: He's he's grown up, always playing with like a real

789
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 5: like he was never just it was never just like him.

790
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 5: And you know, for the guys out there that that

791
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 5: weren't at his level, like he always played it his

792
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 5: whole I think his whole or high school team d one,

793
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: so the whole starting lineup.

794
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 4: So he's like learned.

795
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 5: He's always played good basketball and played team basketball. So

796
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 5: I think he that's what his biggest thing, Like he

797
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 5: really understands that team basketball and he can I think

798
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 5: he's a guy you can kind of plug into, like

799
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: any starting lineup and like he's gonna add value because

800
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 5: you need a guy like that.

801
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,759

863
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: You're the one sitting here right now.

864
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 5: Well, I only ran one time, so so I think

865
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 5: we're going to call it just faster because like we'll

866
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 5: say his like say he ran it twice.

867
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 4: I don't know if he ran twice, but it average

868
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 4: is just slower, and.

869
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: He did have a better ten yards split. Does that matter?

870
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 4: That just means I'm fast, actually fashion than him in

871
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 4: the long and it's.

872
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: A great point.

873
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 5: Yeah.

874
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 2: Do you know why it's a forty yard dash? No

875
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: idea punt coverage?

876
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 4: Really?

877
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

878
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: It was invented in the nineteen forties by Paul Brown,

879
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 2: who was the coach of the Cleveland Browns, because forty

880
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: yards was roughly the average distance players that have to

881
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: travel to cover a punt.

882
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: So they're pretty smart and practical.

883
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is smart and practical, but that means like

884
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 5: why did the ol lineman do it? And why do

885
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 5: they you know, think about it.

886
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: It's a great, great question.

887
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:30,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

888
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: I think Tanner borderliniment of the fastest forty of any

889
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 2: alignment on the team.
