Speaker 1: loaded tonight. We're gonna talk about Colts training camp. We're

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: also going to break down linebackers. We're also going to

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: hear from linebacker Bobby Okarak. He's heading into his fourth

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: season already with the Colts, which is a contract year,

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to him about that and how he's

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: looking to take his game to the next level. So,

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: my friend, in terms of linebackers, what intrigues you the

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: most about this group? This is sort of the last

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: group Casey that we've talked about and put a spotlight on.

39
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: In terms of storylines, what is the biggest one for

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: you going into camp as far as linebackers concerned. Well,

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean not to go with the obvious. I think

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline is what we're going to see the

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: health of Darius Slendard. But you know, one of the

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: things the burning questions, what am I intrigued about? You know,

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: it's probably different from a lot of other teams. If

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: you look at the linebacker and crew that the Colts have,

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of the crew that makes a lot of

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: the stuff happen on defense. I mean, look at the

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: amount of turnovers that Darius Leonard caused just himself last year.

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: That's kind of where it all starts. I feel like,

51
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the defense kind of, you know, takes

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: that energy. They feed off of what Darius Leonard and

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Bobbio Kaka can do. So that's kind of where I

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: look at it, as turnovers and and and all those

55
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: defensive stats. I think it kind of starts different from

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: a lot of other teams. It kind of starts right

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: there with the linebackers. Yeah, and you can't talk about

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: those Colts linebackers without beginning with the maniac. As you said,

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard named All Pro in each of his first

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: four years with the Colts. He's he has the most

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: total All Pro selections and the most First Team All

62
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Pro picks by a linebacker in Colts history. He also

63
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: joins teammate Quentin Nelson in Hall of Fame offensive lineman

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Jim Parker, the only players in franchise history to earn

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: first team All Pro honors in three of their first

66
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: four seasons. So with Darius Leonard, it's it's health right,

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: it's can he be back in time for the start

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: of training camp or will we see him at all

69
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: in training camp? Because he had a back procedure done

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: in June that dealt with the nerve that was causing

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: issues with that lingering lower body stuff, right, the lingering calf,

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: the lingering ankle problem that he dealt with all of

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: last season. Doctors believe that his calf wasn't firing correctly

74
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: because of a nerve in his back. So as we know,

75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not doctors here, Casey obviously, but we

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: know that, hey, the skeleton, everything's connected, right. The Colts

77
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: finally think they have this sort of pinned down and

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: targeted where they can alleviate all of Darius Leonard's nagging problems.

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: What do you think we'll see in terms of Darius

80
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: Leonard in training camp. It's hard to say. I know

81
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: it's a loaded question, but what do you think of

82
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard's involvement with this defense in the month of

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: August and the preseason. I think it's gonna be hard

84
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: pressed to keep Darius Leonard away. I mean, whether or

85
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: not he's practicing. I think he's going to be the

86
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: guy you see him with his bucket hat, cheering on

87
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: and being the biggest cheerleader, kind of like he is

88
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: whether he's on the field or off the field. I mean,

89
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of the Darius that you typically get. And

90
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: I think you mean the million dollar question is whether

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: or not you're going to see any activity from him.

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: That's going to be tough. We're gonna have to kind

93
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: of wait and see how that works, but it is

94
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: something that to note. It's a new defense, so you

95
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: definitely want to see him get a little bit of

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: run in there before that September eleventh start down there

97
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: in Houston with that being the first time in this defense.

98
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: But I'm expecting Darius Leonard to be right there on

99
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: the sidelines. If he's not on the field, He's going

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: to be that first guy on the sideline, ready to

101
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: go in and congratulate on any big play or helping inside,

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, the huddles. So I think you're going to

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: see a lot of involvement. Whether that means him actually

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: participating or not, that is you know, we'll have to

105
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: find that out when camp rolls around. Yeah, I mean,

106
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: just the main objective is to get him permanently right

107
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: with this ankle. I mean, it was an issue all

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: of last season, in the offseason, the regular season, and

109
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: it took a toll on him, just like it would

110
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: any player. But get that totally eradicated so that it's

111
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: not an issue this October, this November, this December when

112
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: games matter so much. He's one of your best players

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: on defense and arguably the heart and soul of that defense,

114
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: the guy that brings the most energy and juice, if

115
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: you will, to that unit. You just want one hundred

116
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: percent Darius Leonard the first time he takes the field

117
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: this season, so that that ankle is not that underlying

118
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: issue on top of all the other wear and tear

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: that a linebacker the NFL accumulates throughout the course of

120
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: the season. So we'll see what that means in terms

121
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: of availability in the month of August and training camp.

122
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: But burning question number two on Darius Leonard Casey, where

123
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: does he go from here? Where can he take his

124
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: game to the next level we already talked about, you know,

125
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: a perennial Pro bowler, first team All Pro guy. Is

126
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: there anything he can do to become an even better

127
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: linebacker than he already is right now? And he's on

128
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: pace quite frankly Casey to be a Hall of Famer. No,

129
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: it's I'm not saying he's a perfect player because my

130
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: response sounds like he's a perfect player, because I think

131
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: we'd all agree that everybody has areas in their game

132
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: where they can get better. But I think right now,

133
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: the only area I can see is that health area.

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look at what he did last year, and

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, I mean, he wasn't healthy the entire year.

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: I would say he played at probably you know, seventy

137
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: five percent is probably just an estimate, but that's probably

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: right around where he did, and he was a first

139
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: team All Pro. I mean, so if you look at that,

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: I think if you just look at it from a

141
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: health standpoint, that's kind of where you get to see

142
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: more of that many act we saw the first year,

143
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: in two, year one and year two when he was here,

144
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: where all of a sudden you were like, wow, who

145
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: is this guy at a South Carolina State? Because he

146
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: is just an impact player too now, I mean one

147
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: of the top linebackers in the game. So I think

148
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: if you can keep him healthy, that's where that is.

149
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: And also within this defense. I mean you can agree

150
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: the amount of moves that they made this offseason. I

151
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be asked to do as

152
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: much as he has in the past. Where there I

153
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: think you're really going to see even more of an

154
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: impact because maybe he doesn't have to give it one

155
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty percent every single play because there's other

156
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: impact players all over that those impact players are going

157
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: to be heightened whenever you see him on the field. Yeah,

158
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: I think it's the mental side of the game. I

159
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: mean last year he wasn't one hundred percent, so therefore

160
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: he had to study more, He had to watch more

161
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: film and become more instinctual. He was you know, he

162
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: wasn't able to be the same guy athletically, so he

163
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: had to study tendencies, you know, learn how guys ran

164
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: with the football, and that's what led to those ridiculous takeaways.

165
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: Fifteen takeaway plays last year by one guy that led

166
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he became the first player ever in

167
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL to forest at least eight

168
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: fumbles and intercept least four passes in a single season.

169
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: So he's always been the game changer guy. He's always

170
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: been the takeaway machine, but last year he had to

171
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: become more cerebral. That's why I say you get him

172
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: right physically so that he doesn't have to worry about

173
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: any underlying issues. Then I think you have the total package.

174
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: You've got the playmaker, and then you've got the guy

175
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: that has the increased football IQ. Then I think you're

176
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: looking at an even scarier linebacker and this new aggressive

177
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: defense led by Gus Bradley. All Right, that's the book

178
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: on Darius Leonard. His running mate at linebacker Casey is

179
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Bobby Ocarrica. As we said, we're going to hear from

180
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: him coming up on the next segment. He's heading into

181
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: a contract year. What is in store for Bobby ocaka

182
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: Casey in year four? I think he's in store for

183
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: a big year. I think it circles back to what

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned. The pieces will help everybody else. So I

185
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: think it really will emphasize where their strengths are. And

186
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: I think we've seen every year he has progressed. You know,

187
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: as a rookie, he was kind of stuck in there

188
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: behind Anthony Walker. The last couple of years, we've seen

189
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: him take a bigger role. He led the league or

190
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: led the team in tackles last year. I assume that's

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: going to be at too. But I think what you're

192
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: gonna see in this year, the contract year is more

193
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: of those you know, turnover worthy plays. He's gonna have

194
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: his hands on the ball or around the ball a

195
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: little bit more. And one of the things I mean

196
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: that I'm looking forward to is just to see, you know,

197
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: with a healthy Darius, slenderd and a healthy Bobby, just

198
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: kind of what that group looks like, because I think

199
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard to argue whether or not that

200
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: maybe one of the best linebacker duos in all of football.

201
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to see what he does in

202
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: this contract year. He's well aware of what it means.

203
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: These guys, they're they're more aware of contracts and all

204
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: of that stuff and how important it is to have

205
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: a big year. But I think for more importantly Bobby,

206
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: he's just ready to put another good year of football

207
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: on the field and tape on there and just help

208
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: this defense. Yeah, no question about. I think you hit

209
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: the nail right in the head right there in terms

210
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: of the mental side of things, and always been a

211
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: sure tackler, and you know, trying to build up some

212
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: more takeaways. It kind of joined Darius Leonard in that

213
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: regard because you know, that's been the hallmark of the

214
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: defense the last couple of years. He had two picks

215
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: last year. Build up some more takeaway plays, which again

216
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: the Colts had thirty three of them last year, number

217
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: two in the NFL. All right, last one on linebackers

218
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: Casey before we break and hear from Bobby o'kaaka in

219
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: segment number two, Let's talk about depth. You know, you've

220
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: got Leonard, You've got Okaraka behind those guys. You've got

221
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: Zyr Franklin, you've got EJ. Speed who's played. You know,

222
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: Franklin and Speed are tremendous to this team in terms

223
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: of value because of what they do on special teams

224
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: and on defense. So talk about Zire Franklin, talk about EJ.

225
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: Speed and then what's left in terms of depth behind

226
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: those guys. You know, you talk about Zire Franklin, and

227
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: I think you and I would both agree you talked

228
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: to Zaire and you feel like you're smarter every time

229
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: you hear So when we talk about you talk about

230
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: the mental side, I mean you've got guys like Bobbio Karake,

231
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard and Zaire Franklin who have probably the highest

232
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: football IQs of guys that are on this roster. And

233
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: those are three guys playing very pivotal positions on the defense.

234
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: So and I think you look at that trio, you know,

235
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: with Zaire as kind of pencilin's that third one, you

236
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: feel very very comfortable. And then last year we saw EJ.

237
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: Speed step into a big spot in Arizona and didn't

238
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: miss a beat. He kind of was like a second

239
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard. Leonard missed the game and you didn't even realize.

240
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you realized he wasn't out there, but

241
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: you didn't see that big of a drop off with

242
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: what you had in EJ. Speed. So I think when

243
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: you look at those first four on your linebacking crew,

244
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: you feel very very confident heading into the year and

245
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: behind those guys, there's a lot of unproven guys. You

246
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: got Brandon King, who you brought over. I think he

247
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: spent eight years in New England, mainly just as a

248
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: special teamer, so you know, as far as his role

249
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: inside of defense, you haven't seen too much of that.

250
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: And then it's four undrafted rookies, so you know, there's

251
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: a lot of unproven depth with in that linebacking croup.

252
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: With the guys at the top, they kind of help

253
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: even all of that out to make it look like

254
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: you've pretty got a pretty good solid group there. Yeah,

255
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: those rookies Forrest Rhyme out of Villanova, James Skolski out

256
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: of Clemson, Joe Joe Doman out of Nebraska, and then

257
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Sterling Weatherford, your guy out of the University of Miami.

258
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: He's from up in your neck of the woods. Casey's

259
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Cicero Cicero, Yeah, Yeah. Hamilton Heights, a former Husky, attended

260
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: the Colts Pro Day, was also a top thirty draft visit,

261
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: and now is in camp with the Colts trying to

262
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: make this roster. So you're exactly right, You've got some

263
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: unproven depth, a lot of obviously young guys. You know,

264
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: vying for spots within that linebacking corps. But Casey, keep

265
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: your eye on number fifty seven. That'd be Joe Joe

266
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: Doman out of Nebraska. As I said, he was getting

267
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: some run with the second team defense during the during

268
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: the mini camp, and he was the guy that kind

269
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: of flashed a little bit. I remember watching him in

270
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: the spring and I had to look down at my

271
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: roster a few times and I'm thinking, all right, I

272
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: keep seeing this number fifty seven, fifty seven still in there.

273
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: Fifty seven's making a play, good, good breakup there by

274
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: This Doman kid, second team All Big Ten last year,

275
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: just looked like he was picking up the defense pretty

276
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: quick in the spring. So he's my guy, one of

277
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: the under the radar type players at linebacker. Fifty seven,

278
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Doman out of Nebraska. Keep an eye on

279
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: him in the month August very And that's one of

280
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: the things you also love about this time of year.

281
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: You remember Gary Brackett. I'm sure when you look at

282
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: offseason before Gary Brackett started, nobody knew Gary Brackett. You

283
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: know that he was an undrafted guy who turned into

284
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: be a long time could Maybe there's a couple of

285
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: guys in there that you look back in ten years ago, Man,

286
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: what a great fine that was. So it's a very

287
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: fun time of year. And remember last year the streak

288
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: of an undrafted free agent making the Colts roster out

289
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: of training camp that was broken. It happened twenty two

290
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: out of last twenty three years. Obviously, I think there's

291
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna be multiple undrafted free agents make this roster here

292
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, because there are roster spots to

293
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: be at. All right, that's a look at the linebackers

294
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: and the burning questions regarding that position group heading into

295
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: training camp. Also a reminder that you can register for

323
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: week and she she had to rasp me a little bit. Case.

324
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: She said, you know, you play everything that you want

325
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: to hear in terms of the Rejoiners, you don't play

326
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: anything current. You don't play anything that anybody else would

327
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: want to hear. So I said, well, it's my jukebox.

328
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, all right, I just plug in the show

329
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: to my jukebox. Fill me in on Harry Stiles. Case,

330
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: I hear his name every where. Is this Styles? Is

331
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: it a fifteen minutes of fame or is it here

332
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: to stay? Well, I mean he was in One Direction

333
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: and that was pretty popular. I don't know. I mean

334
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: how long ago was that. I mean, I I think

335
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: I was in college. One direction was around. So about

336
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Costanzo, a big one direction guy. Oh really? Okay,

337
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot about that. He was

338
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: at those shows. But yeah, good, No, I forgot about that.

339
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, so he in one Direction. Yeah that's okay.

340
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's certain things. Don't ask me why I

341
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: know certain things, but but I know that Harry Styles

342
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: is also joining the Marvel universe. He was, he was

343
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: spotted at the very end of one of them. I

344
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: got into the Marvels during during covid. I was, you know,

345
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: looking for something to watch like all of us, and

346
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I got through all the Marvel movies and he was

347
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: in like before the credits of one of them. I

348
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: can't remember watch one, but he's like the brother of

349
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: one of the villains. Because I looked, I was like,

350
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I know that guy. So I googled

351
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: it and I was like, oh, that's the one direction guy.

352
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: So I didn't realize that he had his own solo career.

353
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Harry's on doing something outside of the

354

377
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: to hear from Bobby O. Karaka, who last season led

378
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: the Colts and stops he had one hundred and thirty

379
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: two of them, finished ninth in the NFL in solo tackles,

380
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: and again heading into his fourth season with the Colts

381
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: and thus a contract year. He's a mainstay on defense,

382
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: so earlier this offseason he joined myself, he joined Casey

383
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: and JJ Stangements in studio. We had a party and

384
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: we started off talking about how the players on defense

385
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: have taken to a new scheme under new defensive coordinator

386
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley. I think everybody's embracing it, and you know,

387
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: everybody's just excited, feels revitalized. You know, like you said,

388
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: with Coach Bradley, Coach Smith, that whole new staff, and

389
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: then Yannick and Stefan, it's really just opportunity to get

390
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: to know those personalities. You know, see how they play,

391
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: and I think everybody feels the juice of just how

392
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: good this defense can be. Now with the addition to

393
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Yannick and got Way. What do you think that does

394
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: for you and for Darius on that back end to

395
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: kind of add that proven edge rusher for you guys, Yeah, Um,

396
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean makes our job a little easier. Quarterbacks gotta

397
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: did get it out quicker. Uh. And I think a

398
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: guy like that is going to boost the whole room,

399
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: whether you know it's Dio, Ben Banigu, Um, Chris Williams,

400
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: all those guys. Um, it's really just you know, gonna

401
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: add some technique and you know, some motivation for those guys.

402
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: And you talked about Gus Bradley talk about him as

403
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: a guy. As a coach, what are your first impressions

404
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: of the new defensive coordinator. Yeah, I love him. Um,

405
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: great teacher. He's a patient guy. Um. You know, he's

406
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: really focused on, you know, just keeping things simple so

407
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: guys can fly around and play fast, play physical. Um.

408
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's great. I think, um, he

409
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: just does a great job of, you know, bringing everybody together.

410
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: How different is this con or to what you were

411
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 1: used to your first three years? Yeah? Uh, some different schemes, Um,

412
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, someplace and some concepts. We're gonna run more

413
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: than others, but it's pretty pretty similar. Um. You know,

414
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: I love coach Coach Flus and I feel very fortunate

415
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: to have started my career with him because, you know,

416
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: he really brought it down to the rudiments of the game,

417
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: just playing hard, playing fast, playing physical. And I think

418
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: that's an emphasis that coach Bradley has as well. He

419
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: talked about team building one of the things he's maybe

420
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. But Matt Ryan

421
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: comes in, you know, pretty big leader. What of you

422
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: What of your first thoughts on Matt Ryan. Uh, he's great. Uh,

423
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: He's just coming in and engaging with everybody. He brings

424
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: great energy. Um. You know you see him in the

425
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: weight room. He's one of the hardest workers. Um. He's

426
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: just a guy that leads by example and is set

427
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: in the tone. How much does that matter? How much

428
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: does it matter your relationship with the quarterback considering you're

429
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: a linebacker. I think it's important. Um. I mean even

430
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: from the high school days, like everybody looks up to

431
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback to lead, right. Um, you know, he takes

432
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: takes the team by the reins. And when you got

433
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: a guy like Matt Ryan with so much experience and um,

434
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, so much wisdom and leadership, it only who's

435
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: the team? What about you as a leader? How have

436
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: you become more you know, comfortable with with your voice

437
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: within your spot on this team heading into year four? Yeah,

438
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: I think just feeling very confident, um, and my understanding

439
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: of scheme and my ability on the field, and you know,

440
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: just being more demonstrative and you know, earning that respect

441
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: through plays I've made and you know, just my whole

442
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: campaign these past three years. I think just earning the

443
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: respect of everybody has been a great step. Now I

444
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: know we're moving on to twenty twenty two. But when

445
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: you think back to that game in Jacksonville the season ends,

446
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: what was the one area that you said, Okay, I

447
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: got to focus on this offseason and in preparing for

448
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: the following year. Yeah, definitely my striking um, striking on

449
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: tackling and striking versus offensive lineman. And I think that's

450
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: what Coach Smith is gonna help me with a lot.

451
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a lot of experience. He's coached

452
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot of great linebackers, So you know, just working

453
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: that technique and that intensity with me will be great

454
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: for the for the the striking for dummies, what exactly

455
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: do you mean? Yeah, it is it? Is it head

456
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: placement on the ball or is it is it coming

457
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: through you know, more physical on tackles. What what does

458
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 1: striking mean for you? Yeah? Head placement on the ball, um,

459
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: you know, technique placement with your hands, and then you know,

460
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: just really grooving your hips through you know, driving through

461
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: your hips and being more explosive. I think just tying

462
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: all that in together. Uh, you know, I'll see a

463
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: big difference this year. That's that's teach tape with Bobby

464
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: ok I love it. Colts linebacker in the studio, and

465
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: you brought up Darius Leonard a little bit earlier, and

466
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: he spoke earlier this offseason, talked about how last season

467
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: was tough on him. He was battling the ankle, he

468
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: was dealing with some family issues. He didn't feel like

469
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: he could lead to the expectation that he wanted to

470
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: last season. Did you did you see that or did

471
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: you feel that out of him? Or is that tough

472
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: to notice? Because he is a guy that that brings

473
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: that energy and that juice every day to the common

474
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: folks like like us. Yeah, I would say, I mean

475
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: a guy like him who's ultra competitive. You know he's

476
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: gonna be his toughest critic. Um. But you know, me

477
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: being here these past three years, you know, I've always

478
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: looked up to Darius. He's said a great tone for

479
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: energy and intensity and playmaking. I mean, the guy's at

480
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: three time what Pro bowler or three time Pro bowler,

481
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: four time first team second team All Pro. Right, you

482
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: know he's got all the accolades. You know, he's got

483
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: he's established as as he can be in the league.

484
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: So I think he's earned all the respective everybody in

485
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: the locker room, for sure. I'm gonna go back to

486
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: Richard Smith a little bit because he's been coaching for

487
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: I think since the late seventies, if I'm not mistaken,

488
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean since long before I was born. You were born, maybe, mate,

489
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: maybe Casey, what what kind of wisdom have you just

490
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: picked up from him? And like knowing the experience he's

491
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: had for so long in this game, Yeah, I mean

492
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: I think I think he's incredible. He's incredibly smart. Um,

493
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: he knows our playbook and our scheme like the back

494
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: of his hand. And just from a technique standpoint, you know,

495
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: he understands what you're doing wrong and what you're doing well,

496
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: and like can can name it and categorize he doesn't.

497
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: He's not just telling you don't do that. He's like

498
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: he's putting a name to it, a label like don't

499
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: step in the bucket or don't dive in the pool.

500
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: Like he just got all these like euphemisms from his

501
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: years of wisdom. So it's just I think it's an

502
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: incredible opportunity to work with. How does that help you

503
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: self correct? Then when you're out on the field, it

504
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: helps you into immensely. I mean, I'm super bandoltical guy.

505
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm taking notes on everything. I go back and watch

506
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: the film and I'm like, okay, correct this, like just

507
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: course correction. It's like it's a class. So I think

508
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: just having a guy like him in the meeting room

509
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: is just incredibly beneficial. You're still taking notes in year

510
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: four on some of the basic stuff, right, Yeah, for sure.

511
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's starts with the fundamentals, but you know,

512
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: with this new scheme, it's like you're just starting all

513
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: over again. That's kind of set in the tone like

514
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: if if I'm a rookie, I come in, I'm watching

515
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: a guy like Bobby o'karakay and Darius Slinder's still taking

516
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: notes during the off season workout program. That's gonna perk

517
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: my ears a little bit. That's gonna kick me in

518
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: a gear. That's funny that you talk about that, because

519
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: when we talked to Gus Bradley when he got hired,

520
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: something he talked about was this first year when he

521
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: was a linebackers coach of the Buccaneers. He went in

522
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: there and they were installing some very basic scheme. He

523
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: saw Derek Brooks taking detailed notes and this is like

524
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: your fifteen for Derek Brooks, and it just it's stuck

525
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: with him that even in year fifteen, there's something you

526
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: can learn that's new. And I'm guessing that Gus and

527
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: Richard Smith are probably imparting that on you guys too,

528
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, Coach Bradley always says, he's like,

529
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, when you say you've got it, that's when

530
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: you're in trouble because you've never really got it. There's always,

531
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: you know, another iteration that you can learn and build on.

532
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: So that's Bobby o'kaaka with us. Final couple of things, Bobby,

533
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: I know, I know you've spoken about this in the past,

534
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: and speaking of getting it, you guys got those takeaways

535
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: last year, thirty three of them, which was the high

536
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: mark for the franchise since two thousand and seven. It's

537
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: one thing to talk about it, but you guys did it.

538
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean thirty three takeaways second in the NFL last year.

539
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: What what what's key in that? Like if you could

540
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: point to the three biggest common denominators in takeaways on

541
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: why they happened and why you guys were able to

542
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: get them, what would you say those are? Yeah? I

543
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: think number one is playing with great effort, swarming to

544
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: the ball, knowing that a guy like Darius or Kenny

545
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 1: or me is that like punching at the ball. So

546
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: when it's when it comes out, you know, if everybody

547
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: swarming to the ball, it's you know, higher percentage one

548
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: of your guys going to be there. Right. Number two,

549
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: I think mentality, and I think Darius is probably a

550
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: perfect example of that. You know, every opportunity, every tackle,

551
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: he's punching at the ball, he's ripping at the ball,

552
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: he's trying to get it out m And number three,

553
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: I think it's just honestly playing catch, just always having

554
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: a football around you, just getting used to having a

555
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: ball in your hands. If you touch it, you should

556
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: come away with your interception and he's happened. Um, you know,

557
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: you take advantage of them. And I think that's all

558
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: our guys on defense pride ourselves on being ball hawks.

559
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: So that's good stuff right there. That's Bobby. Okay, Okay.

560
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: I know we talked to you a couple of off

561
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: seasons ago pre pandemic I think it was, and at

562
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: that point you were taking up boxing in the off season,

563
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: anything anything this off season that you're picking up to

564
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: strengthen things. Yeah, I'm a big pilates guy. Yeah, I

565
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: love pilates. I guess the original term is contrology, just

566
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: that whole like mind body connection, contrology and trology. Yeah.

567
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: I think if you have to write that down, look

568
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: that up. Yeah. If you can have that mind body

569
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: connection on the field and you trust your athleticism, you

570
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: know you you're you're out there with the freedom that

571
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: you can do anything you want in the field. So

572
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to home that that's good stuff right there.

573
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: We always learned something contrology, and we learned about takeaways

574
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: and a lot more. With Bobby Ocaraka, who's headed into

575
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: year number four with the Indianapolis Colts, stud mental linebacker

576
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: for Indianapolis. Bobby, thanks as always for the time. Man.

577

583
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: his body. He talked about it, the yoga, the pilates,

584
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: the what did he say the contrology controltrology. Man, I'm

585
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: telling you what though, Staniford guys, I mean a hungry

586
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: guy and another member of this Colts defense that's trying

587
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: to erase, you know, the bad taste of last year

588
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: from their mouth and hit the ground running this summer

589
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: with a new scheme and that fresh start in a

590
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: clean slate for twenty twenty two. Yeah, he's one of

591
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: those guys. I know this sounds super cliche, but I

592
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: mean he is such a team oriented guy, Like there's

593
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: nothing about him. You listen to him talking, it's about

Speaker 1: how everybody can you know, get better? Well, we talk

647

674
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: Casey Valier is in Boston bringing us back in Casey,

675
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: I was listening to this song about a year ago.

676
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: I was in the meat section at a Kroger and

677
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: this song was on in the background, and I just

678
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: stopped what I was doing. I hadn't heard this song.

679
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: I heard this song like four hundred times, but I

680
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: hadn't heard it in a long time. So I just

681
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: stopped what I was doing and listened to the song

682
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: because this is that good. Hey, sir, can you can

683
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: move over? I need to get that piece of steak. Sorry,

684
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: just go let me listen, man, what do you I'm

685
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: just listening to the song. Hey, what does that make me?

686
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: What is the word for that? I don't I don't know?

687
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: Makes me about a hundred I know that, but I

688
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: guess they're a word for it. It doesn't I don't

689
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: mean this. I don't mean this in a negative way

690
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: at all. It doesn't surprise me that it is something

691
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: that you did, and I can only see you know,

692
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm envisioning it. You being there by yourself too, so

693
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, Sam and everybody's waiting at home for you

694
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: to get the food, and they're like, what took so long,

695
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, at it took an extra three

696
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: and a half minutes. I know that. Oh that's good

697
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: stuff right there. I like that. Hey, by the way,

698
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: that wasn't a late night show, was a concert, I guess.

699
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: Back in the day, nineteen sixty four, the promoters of

700
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: the Teenage Awards Music International put together a rock show

701
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: featuring multiple artists, including James Brown and the Rolling Stones,

702
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: and they made the horrible mistake of putting James Brown

703
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: before the Rolling Stones, so the Rolling Stones had to

704
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: close it out following James Brown, which was a colossal

705
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: mistake that the promoters would then realize they didn't even

706
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: know who James Brown was. Nobody follows the Godfather of soul,

707
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: because that's an act you just do not want a

708
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: half to back up, there's no question. A little background

709
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: on the Rolling Stones. I get told you this earlier.

710
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: This week marked sixty years since they had their first

711
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: gig sixty years ago and they're still touring. I mean,

712
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: is is that not incredible? I mean it's incredible. I

713
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: mean the Rolling Stones and James Brown altogether in one

714
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: that's pretty darn cool, no question about it. All Right,

715
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna transition into some football talk talk some Colts football.

729
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: Forum Credit Union Question of the week. We've been talking

730
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: all about linebackers this week, or tonight, I should say,

731
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: our position breakdown heading into training camp. Colts linebacker Darius

732
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: Leonard Casey Valier All Pro player and each of his

733
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: first four years in the NFL. He's also one of

734
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: just two players to record at least one hundred and

735
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: twenty tackles in each of the past four seasons. Let

736
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: me repeat that, one of only two guys to record

737
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: at least one hundred and twenty tackles the last four years.

738
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: Who's the other guy outside of Darius Leonard? Is he

739
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: a linebacker? He is a linebacker. Yes, okay, I'm gonna

740
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: go with Bobby Wagner because Wagner gets a bunch of tackles.

741
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: He is correct. That is the correct answer. It is

742
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: the obvious answer, and you nailed it. Darius Leonard has

743
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty eight tackles in the NFL since

744
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: two thy and eighteen. The only other guy that has

745
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: more Bobby Wagner. So incredibly consistent, and I gotta tell you,

746
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: Casey free agency. I mean, I know it was weird

747
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: across the board, Guys moving all over the place. Uh

748
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: this offseason in March and April. Big names, but Bobby

749
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: Wagner one of the more underrated big name guys on

750
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: the move this offseason. It's gonna be really weird to

751
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: see him in a RAMS uniform, Isn't it ironic? Though?

752
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna to play the Seahawks twice. I mean that

753
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: seems very you know. That's that's kind of what I

754
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: always think, like when these when these big names go

755
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: somewhere else, I'm always like, you should go to a

756
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: rival so you get to play that team twice. Like

757
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: for Bobby, he's saying, hey, Seattle, you didn't want me anymore?

758
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: Here I am twice reckon your you know anybody, That's

759
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: what I would do, so good for Bobby. Visit the

Speaker 1: topic there and join in on various discussions on the

763
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: Colts Forum credit Union helping members live their financial dreams.

764
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: We've got a few minutes left for the NFL grab Bag.

765
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: It's time for the NFL grab Bag, an assorted look

766
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: at what's going on in the NFL. NFL grab Bag

767
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: tonight brought to you, as always by Meyer, the official

768
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: supercenter of the Indianapolis Colts and proud sponsor of hundreds

769
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: of local sports teams across the Midwest. Did you see

770
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: the name change in the Steel City? Casey, big deal

771
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. You talk about Pittsburgh Steeler fans,

772
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: they are hardcore, they love their Steelers, and they love

773
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: Hines Field. But Hinesfield no longer. The stadium this week

774
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: changed names for the first time since it opened in

775
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. It has been renamed to Akrasure Stadium,

776
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 1: and Ben Roethlisberger one of the many people that just

777
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: doesn't like it, doesn't like the ring to it. He

778
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: took to Twitter to say, quote, it doesn't seem rights

779
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: or real. Hines, headquartered in Pittsburgh, initially signed a twenty

780
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: year deal for the naming rights to the stadium back

781
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, but it did not extend

782
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: past the twenty twenty one season. Casey, there was just

783
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: there was no sponsor more indigenous, if that's the right word,

784
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: with an area than hys ketchup with Pittsburgh. It's such

785
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: an everyman, every guy type of sponsor because it's ketchup.

786
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: Everybody likes it, everybody uses it, and it's the hometown brand.

787
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: It's not like a bank, it's not stiff, it's not

788
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: like an insurance company. It's a condiment and it's synonymous

789
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh. Everybody loves, you know, concession stand food that

790
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: you get at the game. It's Hines was Pittsburgh, and

791
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: I think that's what a lot of people, you know,

792
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: in that part of the country, that's what they're dealing

793
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: with right now. It's very strange. I mean, as you know,

794
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: my dad is a huge Steelers fan. He grew up

795
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: in Annapolis. There was no sports team here, so he

796
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: kind of had to figure out which team you want

797
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: to follow. He followed the Steelers. So when I asked

798
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: him about it, he had the exact same reaction as

799
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg, is like, it just doesn't seem real. This

800
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: is where it's tough, because the end of the day,

801
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: it's business. You know, you get down to the nitty

802
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: gritty of certain things, and it's like, well, it's a

803
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: business decision, So it does seem very strange. I'm really

804
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: glad that Pittsburgh travels here this year so we don't

805
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: have to mess up about fifty times during the broadcast

806
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: saying we're live here in Hyde Field because that's what

807
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: that's what everybody feels like it is. So you know, accurately,

808
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: what is it accurate? Scher accura sh I mean it

809
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: rolls off the tug very easily. That's gonna be something

810
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: that for them. It's gonna take them a couple of

811
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: years before people even realize that's the new name of

812
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: the stadium. You know that that's where it becomes tough.

813
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: Well that, I mean people around here are still call

814
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: the music venue up by you Deer Creek. I mean,

815
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: I live it's never gonna change. You know, it's always

816
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Hines Field. It's always gonna be Deer Creek.

817
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: It's always gonna be you know, Concco Field House, or

818
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be the Hoosier Dome, right, So it's

819
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: just it's it's gonna live on in Lore, all right. Casey,

820
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: one final story before we close out. I thought this

821
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: was incredibly cool. Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell. He's

822
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: a beast. He's been around the NFL. He's heading into

823
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: his fifteenth season, but he loves to play cards, he

824
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: loves playing poker. When his playing days are over, he's

825
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: going to pursue winning the World Series of Poker Main Event.

826
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: I guess he plays all the time but has never

827
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: entered the main event because at the end of the tournament,

828
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: it's two clotes in the startup training camp. It's around

829
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: this time of year, it's late July, so we can't

830
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: focus on it. But when he's done playing, he's gonna

831
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: put up the ten thousand dollars buy in annually for

832
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: the no limit hold him championship every year when he's

833
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 1: done playing football. Incredibly cool story. And Casey, you strike

834
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: me as a card guy, you strike me as a

835
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: poker player. I'm glad you said that because I actually

836
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 1: went through a phase in my life when my parents

837
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: were a little worried because they thought that's what I

838
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: was going to do. So when I was in like

839
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: I kid you, not when I was in college. So

840
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: take you back to my junior and senior year of

841
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: high school. In the trunk of my car at all times,

842
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: I had my eight person poker table, and I had

843
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: two stacks of chips, all kinds of like dealer shoots

844
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: and shuffling machine. I had all of that in the

845
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: trunk of my card all times because I was like,

846
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: who knows who's gonna want to get into a game.

847
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: And then I got to college was able to start

848
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: playing on Poker Stars, so I was playing online poker,

849
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: and then me and one my mother Budders, we would

850
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: travel northern Indiana and get into poker games. That's what

851
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: I did. I mean it was so you're like Rounders,

852
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: You're right, Rounders. That's my favorite movie. So Rounders is

853
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: my favorite movie. So it's like I'm right along with Kalais.

854
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: Like if he wants to call me up, I can

855
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 1: be like, you know, just that supportive guy to cheer

856
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: him on because I don't have the ten grand to

857
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: drop on a poker game to not win anything in return.

858
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: My wife wouldn't really understand that if I said, Hey,

859
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take ten thousand dollars and throw it all

860
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: on the line, so I'll just go at all root

861
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: for Kalais, you know, because he's got that kind of

862
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: cash hanging around, I'd be like, have that, but I

863
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: would love to do what he's doing. You give me

864
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: like his Edward Norton, you know, what was his name

865
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: was Worm? That was his name Worm. I don't think

866
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: I would, really, I mean, i'd probably i'd be more

867
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: like that character. You're right. I wouldn't like to cheat

868
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: and try to, you know, work my way out of things.

869
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: You know. I prefer to be the Matt Damon, you know,

870
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: the humbled guy. But I mean, I think it's super

871
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: cool because this is something that for me hits home.

872
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, when ESPN started airing the World Series of Poker,

873
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: like I all of a sudden was like hooked. So

874
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: I was hooked for a long time. I haven't played

875
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: in quite some time. You're getting twitchy right now, aren't you.

876
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna revert some some bad habits are coming back.

877
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: We should probably get in the show right now because

878
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to get a phone call later. Now.

879
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: I think I'm I think I'm in a good spot

880
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: where I'm not going to get the too big of

881
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: the twitch. But it's definitely bringing back some memories, that's

882
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: for sure. That's not what I intended. I just thought

883
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: it was a cool story. But you know this is

884
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: we're going down memory lane here a little bit, and

885
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: some scabs are getting reopened. Yeah, let's let's just let's

886
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: just in the show now and I'll just get over this.

887
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: You know, not a very cool story right there. All right,

888
