They're 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: getting to work out here in this spring. I don't 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: know if it's summer yet, but holy smokes, like I said, 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: we're loaded on the show tonight. We're going to react 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: to the news of Anthony Richardson missing the remainder of 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: the offseason workout program and of course next week's Mini 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 2: camp due to that shoulder injury. We'll also talk about 26 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: how the rest of the Colts offense, how that's looking 27 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: to this point in OTAs, and then we'll also sit 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: down Casey with kicker Spencer Schrader. You talk about impressive 29 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: this young guy walk to the walk, but he is 30 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 2: heavily in the mix to take over for Matt Gay 31 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: as the team's top kicking specialist here this offseason. But 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: we lead off with Anthony Richardson, Shane Steike and met 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: with reporters ahead of the team's final OTA practice. The 34 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: revelation that Anthony Richardson suffered an aggravation in the AC 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 2: joint of his surgically repaired right shoulder two years ago 36 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: that flared up last Thursday during OTA work. He's gonna 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: miss the remainder of the spring. He'll miss the off 38 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: season workout program, the I should say, the Mini camp, 39 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: which will wrap up the off season workout program next week. 40 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: And Richardson said that he reported pain in that shoulder 41 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: last week. So the Colts are doing the right thing here. 42 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: Sitting him the rest of the spring, and Shane said 43 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: that Richardson will not need surgery, no timetable on a return. 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: He's gonna be back at training camp. We just don't 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: know when that's going to be, Casey. So with the 46 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: mini camp that's about to come up next week, which 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: is sort of the culmination of the off season workout 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: program this nine week period, what does this setback mean 49 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: for Anthony Richardson? What is he gonna miss and how 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: significant is this? 51 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty big. I mean, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. 52 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: It's one of those things where this off season workout 53 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: that you do this what is it two and a 54 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: half months something like that, it all leads to mini 55 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: camp that's really your first real taste of football. You're 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: building up to this upcoming week. So missing those those 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: meaningful reps, those meaningful you know, situations and all of that, 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: that's what the biggest thing is. I do like that 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 3: there is no surgery on the timeline right now, and 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 3: you know, we're expecting him to be back at training camp. 61 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: Don't know when in training camp, but that's the timetable. 62 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 3: But it is still a big blow because those are 63 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: reps that you really like to see him out there, 64 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 3: especially with this competition because I think for you know, 65 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: all the media contingent that's going to be watching this 66 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: competition on a daily basis. Next week was really when 67 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 3: you're gonna get a good taste of it, because you've 68 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: got a couple of days to build on it. Yeah, 69 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: kind of start to see seeing stack and grow exactly, 70 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: see how he bounces back from a good throw or 71 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: a bad throw. Same thing with Daniel Jones too, right, 72 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: just wanted to see how that competition would continue to evolve. 73 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: And we talked yesterday on the Colts Daily Update. It's 74 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: been talked all day long here on these airwaves. The growth, 75 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: all right, it's been well chronicled. Fifteen starts in two years. 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: That's it for Anthony Richardson. Four different, four separate injuries 77 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: that have caused him to miss time concussion, right shoulder, oblique, back. 78 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: He's missed over fourteen hundred snaps. This is the last 79 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: thing that he needed here. So the stunting or the 80 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: stop start, the interruption, if you will, of Anthony Richardson's growth, 81 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: trying to solidify himself as this team starting quarterback and 82 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: hopefully the franchisees quarterback if you will. 83 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's massive because we already knew that heading into 84 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: the NFL. He had the lack of reps with you know, 85 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: the lack of starts and all of this in college. 86 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 3: So it all just continues to build on. You talked 87 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: about that was the last thing you wanted to see 88 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: was an injury. So this is where one of the 89 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: words you kind of hear from all these guys when 90 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: they do go through an injury, it's those mental reps. 91 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: So the mental side of the game right now for 92 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: Anthony is massive. You talked about footwork that he was, 93 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: you know, working through during the offseason. All of that 94 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: can stay. You can still work on all of that 95 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: while you're dealing with that shoulder. Yeah, but the mental 96 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: reps is going to be massive right now. And it's 97 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 3: one of those things too where you know, I'd love 98 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: to talk to Anthony and just say, hey, you gotta 99 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: stay positive because ultimately, when it's go time, you're in 100 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: a competition, you got to go out there and show that, hey, 101 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 3: I can be this team's quarterback. I can be the 102 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: guy that leads them where they need to go. So 103 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a real pivotal time for Anthony moving forward. 104 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: You know, we've harkened back to the end of last season. 105 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: You know, when Chris Ballard and Shane Steike and met 106 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: with reporters at the end of the twenty twenty four season, 107 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: both guys were honest about wanting to bring someone in 108 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: competition wise for Anthony Richardson, not only to push him 109 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: and make him better, but to also give this team 110 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: an insurance policy that could win games and could compete 111 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: at a high level because of all the time that 112 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson had missed. And again, you just don't all 113 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: this practice time, either in the regular season or the 114 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: offseason workout program OTAs mini camp. Right now, we did 115 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: the math, that number is hovering around sixty different workout 116 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: sessions that Anthony Richardson has missed since being drafted by 117 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: the Colts, on top of all of the game reps, 118 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: which are just invaluable. But with all of that said, 119 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: the context here, how does this factor into the quarterback 120 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: competition now between Richardson and Daniel Jones, Who's gonna get 121 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: quite frankly, a lot more snaps than what he was 122 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: going to receive. If you have a healthy Richardson. 123 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember what then, was it one hundred 124 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: and seventy. I think that's the number that Shane had 125 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 3: kind of calculated both for both guys. So it really 126 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: dives into that. I mean, you think, you think about 127 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 3: all this time he's gonna miss. Now it could be 128 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: one of those things that he could be ready to 129 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: go when camp starts, and that would dwindle the amount 130 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: of reps that he's missing compared to Jones. But it 131 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: definitely gives Jones the leg up because he is getting 132 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: all the reps next week. When you think about these 133 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: first team reps that are going to be so valuable 134 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: to this team, those are the kinds of things that 135 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones going to have that leg up on. You're 136 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: starting to get into rhythm and grooves with a team, 137 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: especially when camp starts to roll around and you've. 138 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: Had more you do something with everybody around you or comfortable, 139 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: and yet that's. 140 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: The thing, is that comfortability, and then you throw somebody 141 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 3: else in there and it's like not necessarily like you 142 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: haven't thrown with Anthony, but you got to kind of 143 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: relearn if you reteach your hands in your mind to 144 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: be where Anthony is, So it's gonna be one of 145 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: those things that the competition, it's gonna be impacted for sure. 146 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you just you just can't deny the fact that 147 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: Jones is gonna have more of an opportunity to take 148 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: more reps and get more comfortable because, like you said yesterday, 149 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: for Anthony Richardson, not a new offense, not all new terminology. 150 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: For Daniel Jones, it is, and I'm sure he's comfortable 151 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: with it now, but obviously he's gonna gain more comfort 152 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: within it just because he's gonna get more physical reps 153 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: with the ones and some of the twos that sprinkle 154 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: in throughout the course of a practice. So yeah, I 155 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: mean it's it's definitely a speed bump for sure, casey 156 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: for Anthony Richardson. But when when he does come back, 157 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: and we don't know when that's gonna be, it's gonna 158 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: be during training camp at some point. Hopefully beginning of 159 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: training camp is not in jeopardy. Hopefully that first preseason 160 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: game and a joint practices with practice, I should say 161 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: with the Ravens that's not in jeopardy. But I still 162 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: think this competition is still going to evolve. I don't 163 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: think it's over. But for now, I think it's safe 164 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: to say the Daniel Jones. You can be confident in 165 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: that Daniel Jones is going to be focused on taking 166 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: advantage of this time under center. He doesn't want this 167 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: injury for Anthony Richardson. No, but hey, in reality, you've 168 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: got to be a professional and you've got to take 169 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: advantage of all the situations that come your way, no 170 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: matter how they come your way. 171 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: I mean, what's the big thing we always talk about 172 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 3: in the NFL. The best ability is availability. So for 173 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, he's available, He's gonna get those reps and 174 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: that's going to be key for him in this competition. 175 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 3: I would agree with you, though, I don't think it's 176 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 3: one of those things where, oh, well, he's going to 177 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 3: miss a month or whatever it is of reps that 178 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: means Daniel Jones wins this because you do have, you know, 179 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 3: a handful of you know, meaningful reps that ar has 180 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 3: taken with this staff, and that all plays into it 181 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: as well. You have some stuff on tape that we've 182 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 3: seen Anthony do well that's going to be bought into 183 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: this as well. But it definitely does give Jones a 184 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: leg up. 185 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, And one final thing on this, something that we 186 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: talked about earlier this week. The entire offseason for both 187 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: of these quarterbacks, Richardson and Jones, has been about consistency 188 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: and all that they do and everything sort of adding 189 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: up to the big picture in the colt's decision at 190 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: the end of the preseason going into late August and 191 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: early September on who the starting quarterback is for this franchise. 192 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: All of the work in phase one, all of the 193 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: work in phase two, Jones working out on his own, 194 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson trying to improve on the footwork and working 195 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: out on his own with his personal guys and his 196 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: personal coaches. That's part of the puzzle too. So all 197 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: these pieces add up to the picture that you're trying 198 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: to create here to give yourself the best chance to 199 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: win for twenty twenty five. But Casey, I think it's 200 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: fair to say that OTAs and mini camp are probably 201 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: bigger pieces to the puzzle because you're putting everything together 202 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: right against a real defense, valuable time on the field. 203 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 2: So they're part of the puzzle, but they're probably the 204 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: biggest pieces of the puzzle, and that's what's most discouraging. 205 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: If you're Anthony Richardson, is that you're not going to 206 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 2: be able to have a chance to, you know, write 207 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: your signature on some of those puzzle pieces that are 208 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 2: bigger in terms of putting the whole big picture together. 209 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: Maybe that's a bad analogy. I'd try to drive it home, 210 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 2: but I think it's fair to say that. 211 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: That's exactly right, because ultimately, when you think about all 212 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 3: the stuff leading into now, it's a lot of meetings, 213 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: it's a lot of install and you're putting all of 214 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: those individual individual where you're putting all of that together 215 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 3: to where it is this next week when you think 216 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: about mini camp. Yeah, ultimately we're not at training camp. 217 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: That's a reason that this is June, and it's a 218 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: little bit more. It's not all the pressure on right now, 219 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: but it is still so important. So it is a 220 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: big crushing blow for Anthony Richardson. 221 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: All right, anything else about the offense, I mean, obviously 222 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: this has been heavily centered on Anthony Richardson. Anything else 223 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: about the offense that has stood out so far during. 224 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 3: OTA, I mean, I think really the tight ends have 225 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: been you know, one thing that I have noticed. I 226 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: noticed again yesterday we were out there watching. You know, 227 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: Tyler Warren, Will Mallory have flashed. We've seen Jelannie Woods 228 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 3: last week, Moiley Cox getting involved. So I think the 229 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 3: tight end group, which had gotten a lot of scrutiny, 230 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 3: I think there has been kind of a really nice 231 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 3: start to the you know, the twenty twenty five season 232 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 3: with the tight end showing what they can do in 233 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: the offense. 234 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: And same thing up front. You know, we're starting to 235 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: see some guys intermix. You know, last week Tanner Bordolini 236 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: was running with the first team offense and then this 237 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: week it was Danny Pinter. Yeah, and I think that's 238 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: a fair competition. So quarterback, offensive line, at center, right guard, 239 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 2: those are some things that we're going to be watching 240 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: out for the remainder of the offseason workout program that 241 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: comes to a head next week with a three day 242 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp. Hey, twenty twenty five single game tickets 243 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 2: for the Colts are on sale now headed Colts dot 244 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 2: com slash tickets to grab those through Ticketmaster, the official 245 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: marketplace of the Colts in the NFL. So we've talked 246 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: about quarterback and offensive line. Casey, when we come back, 247 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: I want to talk about a position group that I 248 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: think is really important and something that is going to 249 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: be vital for the success of this twenty twenty five team. 250 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 2: And it's on special teams. Yes, who kicks the ball 251 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 2: for this team? Matt Gay released back in April. Here 252 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: comes back Spencer Schrader. Maddix Trahio has a cannon for 253 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: a right leg undrafted guy out of Temple. But we're 254 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 2: going to talk to Spencer Schrader about rejoining the Colts, 255 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 2: all the travels he had last year as a rookie 256 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: and what he expects for himself in his sophomore year 257 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: back in Indianapolis.

Slash Colts Germany is the way you 269 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: can access all of that information.

I love They've been 271 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: playing the Jim Ersey playlist. Oh, I know, it's been 272 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: awesome practice the last couple of weeks. I don't have 273 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 2: anything against the typical. I just know these songs better, Like, hey, 274 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 2: I know this one.

Speaking 277 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: of that, so we talked about Anthony Richardson and the 278 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: shoulder in the first segment, But quarterback is not the 279 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: only only roster battle going on with this team here 280 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: in the offseason. Again, I would argue that offensive line, 281 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen at center, what's gonna happen at right guard? 282 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: That's really important. But I think there's a really interesting 283 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: and intriguing battle going on at kicker between Spencer Strader 284 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: and Maddox Trehio. Okay, so follow me on this. Schrader 285 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: last year a rookie, Trehillo is a rookie now young 286 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: man at a temple. Undrafted free agent Guy Schrader kicked 287 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: with three different teams last year, Colts, Jets, and the Chiefs. 288 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: Made a game winning field goal last year with Kansas 289 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: City against the Panthers. But this guy has had quite 290 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: the suitcase in a short amount of time, and we're 291 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: gonna hear from him. Casey, But this guy is incredibly mature, 292 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: talks like a guy with way more miles. If you 293 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: will under his. 294 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 3: Feet, I mean I trip on my shoelaces. This guy 295 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: he doesn't, I mean, he doesn't stumble on anything. He's 296 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: very impressive. 297 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Matt Gay released by the Colts back in April. 298 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: Let's go in depth now with Spencer Schrader heavily in 299 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: the mix to take over all the important Colts kicking 300 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: duties in twenty twenty five. All Right, it's time to 301 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: talk some ball and some key special teams with Colts 302 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: kicker Spencer Schrader joining us here. Spencer, last year was 303 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: quite the rookie season for you three different teams. You 304 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: started off in training camp in the preseason with the 305 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: Colts knock down a key fifty four yard fifty six 306 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: yard field goal against the Bengals in that preseason finale, 307 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: kick with the Colts in Week one, then played with 308 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: the Jets, played with the Chiefs game winning field goal. 309 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 4: With Kansas City. 310 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: What what was last year like for you? Your first 311 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: year in the NFL. You're in doctrination into pro football. 312 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it's hard to even summarize. It's so crazy. 313 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 5: I feel like last year was like three years in one. 314 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: I just understand why. 315 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, all the different adventures I got to experience, and 316 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 5: I think I hit everything there was to hit. 317 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: Like. 318 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 5: I came in as undrafted free agent. I got some 319 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 5: preseason reps. I punted and held because we go to 320 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 5: Baby Yeah yeah, yeah, punted and held and ended up 321 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 5: getting kept on the team. I got elevated for Game one. 322 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 5: I was on and off practice squad. I go over 323 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 5: the Jets, kick a game for them, get poached by 324 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 5: the Chiefs, and go over and play like you said, 325 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 5: and then ended up being on IR and just I 326 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 5: look at it, I'm like, man, that's a blessing to 327 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 5: be able to experience all those different adventures in the 328 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 5: way that it prepares you. The people that you get 329 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 5: to meet and that you come into contact with. I 330 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 5: wouldn't change anything about last year. 331 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: What was the most difficult part of last season? Because 332 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: when the Colts brought you back in in free agency 333 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: back in March, you know, Chris Ballard was really honest 334 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: and impressed on how you were able to succeed in 335 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: three different situations, and he said, this is not easy 336 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 2: for a guy to go five for five and knock 337 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: down some clutch key fuel goals as a rookie. So 338 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: what was the hardest part about thriving in all of 339 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: those different situations you were kind of thrust it into. 340 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 5: It's a really good question because I feel like a 341 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 5: lot of guys would answer it like, oh, new coaches, 342 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 5: you know, new operation, new staff, new culture, new stadium, 343 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 5: new fields. 344 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 4: But to me, it wasn't any of that. 345 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 5: I had one consistency last year, and that was competing 346 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 5: against myself, and so the mentality of going and competing 347 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 5: against yourself every single day and trying to strive for 348 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 5: your best is always the most difficult part. 349 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 4: To me. 350 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 5: It wasn't the field. It wasn't this, you know, the grass. 351 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 5: That wasn't the new operation or the new staff. It 352 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 5: was can I have confidence in myself? Can I have 353 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 5: self belief every single day, no matter what the circumstance 354 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 5: is to perform, and so you're your own greatest enemy 355 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 5: in a sense. And so to me, that was the 356 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 5: greatest challenge last year was keeping that confidence every single day. 357 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 2: Where does that initial self belief come from? Is that 358 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: from your mom and dad, your family? Where does that? 359 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: Where do you get that from? 360 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 5: I think first it's from faith, and then it's supported 361 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 5: by family for sure. I think you have to believe 362 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 5: in yourself because you're You're the person that's going to 363 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 5: hold yourself down the most at the end of the day. 364 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 5: And so if you believe in yourself and you just 365 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 5: go after your dreams, no one else can really hold 366 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 5: you back. They can say things, but at the end 367 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 5: of the day, it only becomes a restriction if you 368 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 5: believe that you know. And so for me, like you 369 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 5: just have to believe in yourself, even in the moments 370 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 5: that you feel like you don't. 371 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 4: That's the only way that you're going to succeed. 372 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 3: It's like we're hearing a sermon here, Spencer Schrader. Impressive 373 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: right there. I want to go back to Brian Mason 374 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 3: and the you know, the kind of up and down 375 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: relationship you guys have had because you know, he recruited 376 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: you to go to Notre Dame. You're with him for 377 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 3: a brief stint, then he comes to the Colts. How 378 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: wild is it that here you are about to play, 379 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: you know, potentially playing for him again at that level 380 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: when you initially got to know him trying to go 381 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 3: to play at Notre Dame. 382 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 5: Man, I think everything happens for a reason. I'm just 383 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 5: so grateful to have the opportunity to get recruited by 384 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 5: him to Notre Dame. And one of the things I 385 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 5: remember was just how honest he was and how I 386 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 5: felt like he had my best interest in mine because 387 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 5: I think he took the Colts job about a month 388 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 5: after I'd committed to Notre Dame, and he called me 389 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 5: and he said, listen, man, you have to stay here. 390 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 5: He's like, this is the place for you. Stay committed 391 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 5: to Notre Dame. You're a Notre Dame guy. You're going 392 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 5: to have an amazing experience. And he didn't try to 393 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 5: convince me to do anything else. That was unlike me. 394 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 5: You know, I felt like he truly did have my 395 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: best interest in mind, and so I went through that year. 396 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 5: I had, you know, ups and downs performance wise, but 397 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 5: just an unbelievable experience overall at a really magical institution. 398 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 5: And then you know he sees that and we keep 399 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 5: in touch, and then he brings me in as an 400 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 5: underrafted free agent and the same thing, Like every single 401 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 5: day last year, I just felt like he was honest 402 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 5: with me and he had my best. 403 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: Interest in mind. 404 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 5: And that's sometimes a rarity in the in the NFL space. 405 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 5: You know, it is a business, and you know it's tough, 406 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 5: and everyone's trying to make a living for themselves and 407 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 5: keep their position. So to have a guy that's very 408 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 5: honest with you like that is a real blessing, and 409 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 5: so I'm just grateful that I get the chance to 410 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 5: be around him a little longer now. 411 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: With specialists, Ultimately, you know, it's not the linebacker spot. 412 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 3: There's not six or seven of them. Typically you've got 413 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 3: thirty two jobs heading into the NFL. So that mindset 414 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 3: you talk about a competing against yourself as an undrafted 415 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 3: free agent last year, how important do you think that 416 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: is one of the things that kind of thrived you 417 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 3: to get here, because ultimately there are thirty two spots 418 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 3: occu when these guys come into the league, so you 419 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 3: were already on that back burner. How difficult was that 420 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 3: and being able to kind of keep that mind frame 421 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 3: of I've got to do everything I can every single 422 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 3: day just to get that out there, to try to 423 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: get my opportunity. 424 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 4: It's really difficult. 425 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 5: But I was so blessed to be around Luke and 426 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 5: Rigo and I was speaking about it earlier, but one 427 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 5: of the things I really respect about those guys who 428 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 5: are nine and ten year veterans who have been on 429 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 5: almost the same team their entire tenures. They come in 430 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 5: every single day with a humility and they go about 431 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 5: their work like it's day one. There's no ego involved. 432 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 5: There's self confidence for sure, but there's no ego. There's 433 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 5: no I deserve to be here. It's I'm going to 434 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 5: work every single day so that I can earn the 435 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 5: right to be here. So to be around that as 436 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 5: an undrafted free agent, I wasn't thinking about going and 437 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 5: taking a job. I wasn't thinking about going and taking 438 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 5: one of the thirty two spots. I was just like, 439 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 5: I'm going to go in, I'm going to do my 440 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 5: best every single day, and regardless if I have an 441 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 5: opportunity to play. 442 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 4: Good things are going to happen. 443 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 5: I'm going to meet some really cool people, and I'm 444 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 5: going to develop and I'm going to grow as a 445 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 5: and then hopefully I get the chance to kick on 446 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 5: the field at the end of the day. 447 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 4: But it's not even about that really. 448 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, if I do all those things, it'll lead to 449 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 5: success overall. 450 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 2: Spencer Schrader is with US Colts kicker going into year 451 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: number two. He's with the team last year. But it's 452 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: been a wild ride even since you've returned. You know, 453 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 2: Matt Gay released in April. You were signed in March, 454 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: and then Matt Gay released in April, and then here 455 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 2: comes Maddix Triheo, undrafted free agent kicker for the Colts 456 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 2: after the draft. What do you know about him? And 457 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: you said, you know, you've been working and trying to 458 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: implement some of the things you're picking up from some 459 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: of the guys that you've worked with, like Matt Gay 460 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 2: and Harrison Butker, And I'm sure he's picking up things 461 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: from you. So what's been your limited interactions so far 462 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: with young Maddix Tririo, undrafted guy at a temple. 463 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: He's a great kid and he's super talented, and he's 464 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 5: been pushing me every day to set a stand ard, 465 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 5: set a high stand and continue to perform. And I 466 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 5: think competition is a beautiful thing because, like I was 467 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 5: saying before, you have to view it as you're competing 468 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 5: with yourself at the end of the day. And so 469 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 5: to be able to balance competition and have great relationships 470 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 5: with those people, to be able to give back, just 471 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 5: like I was giving back from Matt, from Harrison, from 472 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,239 Speaker 5: these other guys, it's something I'm really grateful for. 473 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 4: And he's just been awesome for the room. 474 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 5: He works really hard every single day and he's been 475 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 5: kicking phenomenally and so I think it's a great thing 476 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 5: that he's here and I wish him all the best. 477 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 4: I think he'll be very successful. 478 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: Talk to Brian Mason in the offseason. He's talking about, 479 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 2: you know, the importance of knocking down those clutch long 480 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 2: field goals, right, that's what makes the great ones great. 481 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: You're certainly on that trajectory. This is kind of a 482 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: nerdy question, maybe a little bit of a sports science question, 483 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: but how do you attack the ball differently when you're 484 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 2: trying to attempt a long fuel goal compared to like 485 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: a mid range thirty five forty yard field goal. 486 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 5: So ideally you you don't right, Ideally you want to 487 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 5: kick every ball the exact same, but there is a 488 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 5: factor that plays into your brain when you're back there. 489 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 5: No one is immune to those emotions. And we all 490 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 5: know where I'm kicking from, and so if. 491 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 2: It's likely Casey gets the driver out, yeah exactly, Oh 492 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: here we go, right, I. 493 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 5: Think to me, it's like, okay, you just have to 494 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 5: dial in a focus even more because everything matters from 495 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 5: that distance, Like if you mis hit the ball just 496 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 5: a tiny amount, it's going wide, right, wide, left, and 497 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 5: so I just think about attacking the ball aggressively seeing 498 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 5: it and then swinging through to my target and then 499 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 5: it either goes in or doesn't. 500 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm not a kicker, probably because 501 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: I don't have this guy leg right here. Have you 502 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: always had a big leg or is that something you've developed. 503 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 4: I've always had a big leg. 504 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 5: I grew up playing soccer and I just love to 505 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 5: just blast goals, like it's just something I just love 506 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 5: to do. 507 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 4: My dad would take. 508 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 5: Us out across the street to a goal, my sister 509 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 5: and I and he would just throw us balls and 510 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 5: be like, all right, thirty, blast twenty with your left, 511 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 5: tend with your right because we always had to work 512 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 5: more with our left right and we would just rip shots. 513 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 5: And so, you know, I never knew that I was 514 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 5: going to be an NFL kicker. I only started playing 515 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 5: my senior year of high school. But yeah, I think 516 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 5: just playing a. 517 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: Bunch football that is right. 518 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, just playing a bunch of sports grown up 519 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 5: and having a dad that would go out to the 520 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 5: fields with me and help me out was a huge 521 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 5: blessing and it's turned into what it hasen. 522 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 2: Did your Spencer Schrader with us? By the way, did 523 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: your parents play soccer? 524 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 5: No, my dad was a basketball player in Northern Indiana, 525 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 5: so true Hoosier. Yeah, my mom didn't play any sports, 526 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 5: but she's pretty athletic. 527 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 4: You know. 528 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 5: She's five ten, one hundred and thirty pounds and like 529 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 5: she can play pick a ball and do everything. So 530 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 5: I think I got some of my height from her. 531 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 5: So yeah, I learned from both sides. 532 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 4: You know. 533 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 3: Now you talk about you picked up football late. Did 534 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 3: you have any offers to play soccer at the next level? 535 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 5: Yes, I had quite a few offers in Florida. I 536 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 5: had wanted to go pro. So actually after my senior 537 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 5: high school I took a gap year one overseas and 538 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 5: played soccer in Brazil in Canada, Okay, And then I 539 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 5: got back to the US and was debating do I 540 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 5: play college soccer? 541 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 4: Do I play college football? 542 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 5: And Tim Tebow has always been a big role model 543 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 5: of mine. I thought it was cool how he used 544 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 5: his platform in the football space to promote his faith 545 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 5: and just some of the really cool charitable, philanthropic things 546 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 5: that he's done off the field, and so I decided 547 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 5: to switch over to football. And so, you know, usually 548 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 5: the follow up question to that is, well, was it 549 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 5: really hard to change from soccer to football because it's 550 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 5: soccer something you pursued your entire life and you're really 551 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 5: passionate about. And I would say, yes, it is, But 552 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 5: my mission stayed the exact same. My mission is a 553 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 5: person as a human beings stayed the exact same from 554 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 5: soccer to football, and so that made the switch a 555 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 5: lot easier. 556 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: So this is going to be one one final thing here. 557 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 3: Just looking at your you don't look like a typical kicker. 558 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 3: What's with I mean? If you look at your upper 559 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 3: body here. What else can you? Did you play anything else. 560 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 4: In foot US? No, didn't play anything? 561 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 5: Okay, football, No, But I play a lot of pickup sports, Okay, 562 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 5: a lot of basketball, soccer. Obviously, played tennis. I'm at 563 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 5: a pretty high level. Played pickleball now, so I've gone 564 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 5: from that. 565 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, just always just. 566 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: Playing out of the kitchen, bro. Yeah, last night, that's 567 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: the last time you need, all right, be smart, just 568 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 2: let those and let the other guy get a point. 569 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 4: You're good, right exactly. 570 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: Speaking of offers, last thing with Spencer Schrader with us, 571 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: like you said, you mentioned you had a couple of 572 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: different offers after being released by the Chiefs to land 573 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: somewhere else in the NFL. The Colts were among those 574 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: that were blowing up your phone, if you will. Why 575 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: did you want to come back to the Colts. 576 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 5: Because of everything I experienced last year, just the obviously 577 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 5: Luke and Rego and what amazing professionals they were to 578 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 5: be around, all the growth that I experienced being here 579 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 5: around Brian Mason and Joe Hastings and Izzy and just 580 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 5: the staff and the fan base and the culture that 581 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 5: has been cultivated here at the Colts is something I 582 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 5: wanted to be a part of and also have just 583 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 5: a great community here. You know, I'm from Westfield, Indiana originally, 584 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 5: and so it's just such a blessing to be back. 585 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 4: And there's still parts of me that I do it. 586 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 5: Yes, it's a business, and yes, you're supposed to go 587 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 5: where the money is better and blah blah blah, but 588 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 5: there's pride too, you know.
