1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: The NFL never sleeps. The roster is ever evolving, and

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: it's all about finding the edge. This is the last word.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: The off season home of the Indianapolis Colts.

4
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Is Friday the thirteenth. Welcome in? Does that mean good

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: things are bad?

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: Is? How did I go all Friday and not even

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: realize that?

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm not a scary movie guy. What does that mean?

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: Does that mean omens positively or negatively? Should I expect

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: to win the lottery? Or be uh have my tires

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: slashed on the way home?

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things. It's like raining

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 3: on your wedding day. Some people say it's good luck,

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: some people say it's bad luck. Oh right, So what

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: do you think raining on your wedding day is?

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Like?

58
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,800

59
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: because I want to watch it organically and feel all

60
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: the excitement. All right, we're talking about the excitement of

61
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: mini camp that just wrapped up this week for the Colts.

62
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Three day mini camp done and over with. It also

63
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: means that the off season workout program is done and

64
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: over with for the Colts. So, casey, the next time

65
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna see everybody, players and coaches and staff on

66
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: the same field, that's gonna be the first day of

67
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: training camp in late July coming up at Graham Park

68
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: in Westfield. So let's get into the nitty gritty here.

69
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: Case meister, What were your overall big takeaways from camp

70
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: this week?

71
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, I think what we've kind of talked

72
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: about all week is the the smooth operation that Daniel

73
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: Jones has had of the offense. I think everything has

74
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: looked pretty fluid to this point, which not necessarily was

75
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: saying that I didn't expect it, but this soon. I

76
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: was not anticipating it, being almost so comfortable inside the framework,

77
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: which is a really good thing. We know we're gonna

78
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: have a competition battle between he and Anthony Richardson, you

79
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: know when Anthony can get back on the field, But

80
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: right now, Jones is taking full advantage of everything he

81
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: can right now. And it was a really flawless week

82
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: for the offense, especially that first group.

83
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: No question about the offense looks The word I use

84
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: is crisp, right, It looks sharp. Yeah, And we talked

85
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: about this earlier this week. Daniel Jones doesn't look like

86
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: a guy that was signed on March whatever. He looks

87
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: like he's been here the whole time. Command of the

88
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: huddle is good, situational work looks really good, look really

89
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: good in the red zone two minute drills, and then

90
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: people around him are kind of starting to thrive a

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, Michael Pittman junior looks really good,

92
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: ready to take off a big year, and we talked

93
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: about this guy. I think on Tuesday, ad Mitchell might

94
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: have had the best just big play, splash spring out

95
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: of all of the skill players. I mean, Tyler Warren

96
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: looked really good. But Jim Bob Cooter, offensive coordinator for

97
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: the Colts, just raved about the jump that ad is

98
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: experiencing great attitude and just stepping up his game, getting

99
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: more out of him and more comfortable in year two

100
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: within this offense.

101
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: And one of the things when you watch ad Mitchell,

102
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: I mean, the talent is there. His route running is

103
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: not an issue at all. He is so incredibly quick,

104
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: Like there were a handful of plays this week that

105
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: he was able to make a move and a lot

106
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 3: of times I stand next to Bill Brooks, who is,

107
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, a ring of honor wide receiver for the Colts,

108
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: and he just goes, oh, that's a good route. And

109
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: it seemed like it was always appreciating ball. And that's

110
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: the thing, and it's it's one of those things when

111
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: you watch what ad Mitchell can do, I mean, you

112
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: get the football on his hands and just watch out

113
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: because the talent level is through the roof. So I'm

114
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: really looking forward to see what he does in his

115
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: sophomore season.

116
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: Here.

117
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you talked about Daniel Jones and the opportunity at

118
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: hand here or taking all of the first team reps

119
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: at quarterback these final two weeks of the offseason workout program,

120
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson dealing with aggravation and the ac joint of

121
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: the throwing shoulder. That's the same joint that he sprayed

122
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: as a rookie and had surgery on. But how big

123
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: of a leg up now? I mean, based on what

124
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: we've seen and just the opportunity that he had to

125
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: take all of these reps with the first team offense. Casey,

126
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: how big of a leg up does Jones now have

127
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: when it comes to this quarterback competition.

128
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: We knew it was going to be a big leg

129
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: up because of the reps and how valuable getting all

130
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: those reps and especially on tape. So that now as

131
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: we're leading into camp, that's what the staff's going to

132
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: be looking at. They're going to be diving into what

133
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: they saw throughout this week, and we mentioned it our

134
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: eyes we saw pretty crisp, take it a word out

135
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: of your vocabulary. There, we saw a crisp run of

136
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: the offense from Daniel Jones. So that is a massive

137
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: leg up as we head into camp because ultimately, when

138
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: you look at what he did in mini camp, it

139
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: was really positive and really good work. So that definitely

140
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: gives him a leg up. Now, it's one of those

141
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: things I'm not saying we wanted him to come out

142
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: and not look good. Yeah, but what he did definitely

143
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 3: I think raises that bar and it pushes him a

144
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: little bit more up that ladder on who currently is

145
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: leading that quarterback competition, and you know it's important to

146
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: be available and he's available well.

147
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: And like we talked about these last two weeks, OTA's

148
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: and Mini camp, not that the other stuff wasn't important,

149
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: but these were very important weeks six practices going up

150
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: against a live defense eleven on eleven, seven on seven,

151
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: we're getting all of those reps.

152
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: Yep.

153
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: With the first team offense case he all to himself

154
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: to show consistency. That's been the biggest word that Shane

155
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: Steichen and the rest of the coaching staff and Chris Ballard.

156
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: That's the word they've used to describe what it's going

157
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: to boil down to in determining who wins this quarterback battle.

158
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: So a big chance to show consistency and consistency, like

159
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: you said in availability, that's part of this unfortunate equation

160
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: for Anthony Richardson. Again, the competition is far from over,

161
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: but Daniel Jones got a lot of run that he

162
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: would not have received had there been a healthy Anthony Richardson.

163
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: And ultimately, we have talked about this. There's a reason

164
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: that Daniel Jones is here, and it was to push Anthony.

165
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: But it's also when Chris Ballard.

166
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: Talked at State Farm Insurance policy.

167
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: Right, it was ultimately he has yet to show that

168
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: he can play an entire season. And that's why Daniel

169
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: Jones is here. And here we are seeing the fruits

170
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: of all of that because you put the competition out there,

171
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: you bring a guy in, you know how these world

172
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: class athletes are. You give it an opportunity.

173
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: And sometimes it doesn't matter, you just need.

174
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: An opportunity, and Daniel Jones is definitely making the most

175
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: of that.

176
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: All Right, we've talked a lot about the quarterback situation.

177
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 2: Let's go over to the defense and who has stood

178
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: out to you the most about the Colts defense this

179
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: spring now under lu An Arumo Casey.

180
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's been it's been a handful of guys.

181
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: I think one of the guys that's really stood out

182
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: to me. I think I mentioned him a couple of

183
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: times already, but Cameron mcgron. I felt like he made

184
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: the most of his opportunities. We have talked about Zaire

185
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: Franklin and Jalen Carlis, but a couple of linebackers who

186
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: have not been out there, and it's gonna be one

187
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: of those things that you know, with this defense, linebacker

188
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: is an area that they're outside of Zaire Franklin. There's

189
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: not a lot of NFL starts and experience there, so

190
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to have some guys step up. And

191
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: I thought Cameron mcgron had a really good week here

192
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 3: in mini camp.

193
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: But then I'm gonna go to build depth right in

194
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: that regard just see more action out of him against

195
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: frontline players.

196
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's one of the things that I felt

197
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: like we saw. But then, you know, we have both

198
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: mentioned what this secondary is going to look like, and

199
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: I think we saw a lot of that, especially during

200
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: this week that there are a lot of pieces in

201
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: that secondary that are really going to help this team

202
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: moving forward. And that was something that you know, we

203
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: put into question a little bit last year where the

204
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 3: depth wasn't there, and this year I think we can

205
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: all retract that and say the depth is there.

206
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I want to talk more about that coming

207
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: up on the other side. Hey, reminder, though twenty twenty

211
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: of home games case, he announced today that Jim Irsay

212
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: will be inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor at

213
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: Lucas Oil Stadium during the September seventh home opener, the

214
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: first game of the season against the Miami Dolphins. Awesome news.

215
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: In fact, today is boss Man's birthday. It is yeah,

216
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: fantastic birthday gift and announcement as far as that goes.

217
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: Jim Irsay will become the twentieth honoree, of course, joining

218
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: his father Robert Ersay in that elite club as well.

219
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: Jim passed away May twenty first, laid to rest on

220
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: June second, and the Colts are developing additional chances for

221
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: fans to remember and honor Jim Mersey's legacy. In the

222
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: weeks leading into the home opener, We're going to share

223
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: more information the club will later this summer as far

224
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: as that goes. But as it relates to Jim Irsay's

225
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: name physically going up in the Ring of Honor Casey,

226
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: I think that we should. It should be a permanent

227
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: reminder that the city of Indianapolis is not what it

228
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: is without Jim Irsay and his stewardship of the franchise

229
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: that saw the Hoosier Dome and the RCA Dome give

230
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: way to Lucas Oil Stadium, and I think how those

231
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: facilities have been a cornerstone for expansion and have also

232
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: helped the growth of the Convention Center and the growth

233
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: of downtown Indianapolis. I mean, simply, without Jim's commitment to

234
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: this town, there's no Lucas Oil Stadium. If there's no stadium,

235
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: there's no Final Fours, there's no Super Bowls, there's no

236
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: College football playoffs. There's probably no NBA All Star Games. Yeah,

237
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: you know, no Olympic swimming trials, no Taylor swift, no

238
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: royal rumble, no matter what you're into, none of that

239
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: happens without the greatness of jim Irsay.

240
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: And I think there's also something to be said that

241
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: there's no guarantee that the Colts are here. It is

242
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: football and that was where you know, he made his

243
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: hay because of what the brand of the Colts are.

244
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: But I think just the city of Indianapolis is not

245
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: what it is without the success and everything that he

246
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: poured into this city. I mean, I love that, you

247
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: know what the Simons had to say on the day

248
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: of the passing about how he not only helped this city,

249
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: but he helped sports in this whole state and everything boom.

250
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: So I mean it is a great tribute to We've

251
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: talked about it at nauseum that he has gone way

252
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: too early, but it is going to be something cool

253
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: that every time you walk in that building now you're

254
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: going to see that name up there.

255
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: So the home opener just got sweeter with jim Irsay

256
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: going into the Ring of Honor against the Dolphins week

257
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: number one, and again that's coming up on September the seventh.

258
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: We'll double back to that secondary that we were talking

259
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: about when we come back. We'll be joined my cornerback

260
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Jude juw Brinz. He's part of a very deep cult

261
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: secondary and he's going to be playing with a big

262
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: time chip on his show older this season, with something

263
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: to prove after two injury riddled seasons to begin his

264
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: career with the Colts. We'll talk to a motivated Juju

265
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: Brents when we come back here on the Last Word.

266

282
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: one of the things we learned in this offseason in

283
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: terms of feeling really good about things going into training camp.

284
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: We teased it there at the end of segment one.

285
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: The secondary you've got buying them ward justin Wally Ballantine,

286
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: and then you have guys that are gonna team up

287
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: with them like Jalen Jones and Kenny Moore. The second

288
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: that unit could go from an area of sort of

289
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: a weakness to a big, big time strength from one

290
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: off season to the next. I love what I saw

291
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: from the secondary in the spring.

292
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more. And you know, there's also a

293
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 3: name that I know. This is strange to say because

294
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: we haven't seen him play at all, but this staff

295
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: has been very, very high on Daniel Scott, the safety

296
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: out of cal and he has been He's had two

297
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: brutal injuries. Juju Brence has had some injuries, not to

298
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: the extent of what Daniel Scott has had, But Daniel

299
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: Scott's gonna come into camp and he's a guy in

300
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 3: that depth. Back in as safety that they've been very,

301
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 3: very high on. So you add that in the mix too.

302
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: There are a lot of guys competing for a few

303
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: spots and that's a good problem to have.

304
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: Unfortunate thing about Daniel Scott, he's a draft pick. He's

305
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: never seen a regular season practice, I know, because he's

306
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: had just that bad of luck with injuries this time

307
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: of year. So hopefully he can progress and get within

308
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: the mix. But again, don't forget about Juju Brents Now

309
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: all right, he's gonna play a factor within this defense. Inevitably,

310
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: they always do. If you're on the team, you gotta

311
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: prepare an act like you are the starter. He's really

312
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: excited for his third year with the Colts. He's played

313
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: Casey in just eleven games in his first two years

314
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: in the NFL Torres Meniscus and mcl in Week one

315
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: last year, played in just nine games as a rookie,

316
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: dealt with hamstrings and quad injuries in twenty twenty three,

317
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: and we spoke to him earlier this week Casey and I,

318
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: and we asked him how he feels this offseason has

319
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: gone for him after two really frustrating years to begin

320
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: his career with the colts.

321
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: At my eyes has been great.

322
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: I think the main thing for me is just just

323
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 5: being intentional every single day.

324
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: Body's feeling good.

325
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 5: You know, have some little things here and there, but overall,

326
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm in a good spot being to

327
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 5: get back there and just be able to compete.

328
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 4: Sure, it's been good.

329
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: And what are your first impressions being inside this lou

330
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: An Remo Defense?

331
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: Aggressive?

332
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 5: Uh, it's fast paced, balls to the wall like that

333
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: type of mentality. I think it's just up in your face.

334
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 5: You know, it's gonna make you, you know, have to beat

335
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 5: us type of mentality. So I think for us it's

336
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 5: a good switch up to allow us to you know,

337
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: be able to challenge guys a little bit more out

338
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: the line. You know, we got a lot of longer

339
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 5: cornerbacks who have leaves, so we're able to get up

340
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 5: there and disrupt routes or whatever the case may be.

341
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 5: But it definitely is a little bit more aggressive obviously.

342
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: Of Juju Brents is with us. How long does it

343
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: take you to feel comfortable inside of New Defense? I

344
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: know this is year number three for you, but you know,

345
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: new new coaches, new terminology, new schemes. It's just it's

346
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: a lot of subtle nuances, I would assume, right.

347
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 5: I think the main thing is just learning the terminology

348
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 5: first one, so get into playbook, the doe dealing, just

349
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: study and all that. But after that football football. Like

350
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: I said, it's a lot of us just being aggressive,

351
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 5: getting up in Gud's face. And you know, that's that's

352
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 5: what I love to do. I'm a long cordner. I

353
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: like to put hands on guys being able to you know,

354
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 5: just throw off their time where the case may be,

355
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 5: but it is, you know, there's gonna be some growing

356
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 5: pains at first, just have some mistakes, but that's why

357
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 5: we got OTA's and once we get to camp, sure,

358
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: continue to keep making those stakes, but keep improving. And

359
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 5: then once we get to the week one preseason, you

360
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 5: know we rolling.

361
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: So do you feel like you're close to just being

362
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: out there and playing and reading and reacting and not

363
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: thinking with this new defense?

364
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: For sure, it just allowed you to play fast.

365
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 5: Like I said, continue to keep learning the little nuances

366
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 5: here and there where it's like some little caveats within

367
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: the defense, but the general basis of it, I feel

368
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 5: like we all kind of clicking on those full cylinders, right,

369
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 5: now and then we you know, just keep building off

370
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: of it.

371
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: But I feel like we're picking up pretty good.

372
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: Now when you look at the way the year ended

373
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: last year, there's been a big emphasis in the secondary

374
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: with the additions with cam bind them and you know

375
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: Mooney Ward you also add justin Wally and in the

376
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: in the draft. When you look at all of those pieces,

377
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: you know from the outside looking at or looking at

378
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: it on paper, it's a pretty deep secondary.

379
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 4: What if you've seen so far out of the group

380
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: as a collective.

381
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 5: Facts and interchangeable parts, that's what we'd like to see,

382
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: you know. We all want to be able to get

383
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 5: in there and be able to be able to contribute

384
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 5: the best way we can possible. Obviously, it's only gonna

385
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 5: be possibly what five guys at one time in the

386
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 5: back end that can be able to be out there.

387
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 5: So I think it's just great competition for all of us,

388
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 5: you know, and allows us to you know, figure out

389
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 5: who's the guys who will be out there and then

390
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 5: if your second stream whatever, just you know, on your road.

391
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 5: So I think it definitely brings a room to a

392
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 5: different level by adding guys, like you said, buying on

393
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 5: Mooney Wiley in the draft and just gonna make all

394
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 5: of us better.

395
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: One of the guys you came in with, Jaylen Jones,

396
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: He's taking massive strides the first couple of years. Yeah,

397
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: I mean, I know how close that bond is between

398
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 3: you guys coming at the same time. How impressive has

399
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: it been to watch his career grow and then also

400
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: now you join it back up with him this year,

401
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 3: it could be a fun year.

402
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it definitely.

403
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 5: You know last year for me just being able to

404
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 5: sit back, just taking like the more mental aspect of

405
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 5: the game, being able to just watch all the guys grow.

406
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 5: Definitely Jayleen, you know, taking big steps. Just proud of the

407
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 5: way he just went out there and competed every single week.

408
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 5: You know, it wasn't always pretty for all of us was,

409
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: but I just like the way that he had, you know,

410
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 5: just the mentime to go out there no matter who

411
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 5: it is. I always give him jokes about it, like, bro,

412
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 5: you gotta change your number, Like bro, now, like I'm gonna.

413
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 4: Just own it.

414
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 5: So yeah, forty bro, I don't know you a corner

415
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: is like is too bulky or too big or what.

416
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 4: I don't know.

417
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 5: Once you get above, like thirty five you a corner,

418
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 5: it's just a little different.

419
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 4: I don't know, you gotta target on you. But he

420
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 4: loved it.

421
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 5: Though he loved the challenge, he loves he loved rocking forty.

422
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 5: I'm just happy the way he continue to keep regressive.

423
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm learning some unspoken rules of the game here, like safety.

424
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 4: You might be get away with it, you know what

425
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

426
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: What's what's the difference between corner and safety? Terms of

427
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: the number?

428
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 4: A little bit aack?

429
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 5: So like I don't think the quarterback, but like if

430
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 5: you look to us right in his lift and he

431
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 5: see big forty, is like, all right, I might take

432
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 5: a shot.

433
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm gonna have to throw the challenge flag.

434
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: Man spoken rules playing corner.

435
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 2: But but why can't he rep forty and be the

436
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: best forty in the NFL playing corner?

437
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: Right?

438
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 5: That's what he takeing he likes I'm gonna be the

439
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 5: forty that I'm gonna make the change to wear forty.

440
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: Change the perception, right, changing changing the game right there?

441
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: That's juju. Bran says with us, you said last year

442
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: was more mental than physical, right. You only played two

443
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: games week one week eighteen Week one, uh Terrier meniscus

444
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: mc l injury. What was the hardest part of that?

445
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: Because it was a frustrating start of the season after

446
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: your rookie season, only playing nine games. How tough was

447
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: that to deal with?

448
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 4: It was?

449
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 5: It was very challenging, just be completely honest with you,

450
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 5: especially after my rookie year.

451
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: You know, I'll just having some pretty high.

452
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 5: Strides because you're doing everything right, doing everything right, man,

453
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 5: taking all the boxes. Just week one, it was just

454
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 5: so detrimentally because I was putting so much work in.

455
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 5: It just takes that one play and it's a contact play,

456
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 5: guy fall on my leg and knee injury.

457
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: It was tough.

458
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 5: You know, I thought I was a bit to keep

459
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: playing on it, but you know how to scan doctors otherwise.

460
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 4: But I think for me, I just accepted.

461
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 5: A head on being able to early on in my

462
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 5: career face that adversity and it's definitely going to play

463
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: you know, some big games from you back in my

464
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 5: years now. So I've been to the deep waters, like

465
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 5: I know what it looked like. Sure I faced the adversity.

466
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 5: I know how to deal with it. So I think

467
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 5: that's the big thing I gained and then just my

468
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 5: mental aspect of the game, like I'm out there right now.

469
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: Thing he's just slowing down for making play. So it's good.

470
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: So it's it's safe to say maybe a little bit

471
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: of a silver lining blessing in disguise is that there's

472
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: nothing from a football standpoint, there's nothing you can't overcome.

473
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: Now, nothing nothing that Uh it's solid mentality.

474
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

475
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: And it's just something that the same in life.

476
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 5: I mean football, yeah for sure, but man, like life,

477
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 5: go throw some curveballs at you. Like everybody says, his

478
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 5: body respond to it. So I think for me that's

479
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 5: been a big thing man. So like I said, I've

480
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 5: been hit with all the curve balls now feeling behind me. Man,

481
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 5: just keep going forward.

482
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: That's juju Brince, whether us in case you mentioned the

483
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: guys that were brought in the off season, but Chris

484
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: Ballard went out of his way to say, and Juju Brince,

485
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: he still has a ton of confidence in you. When

486
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: you hear Chris's comments and you read those words, what

487
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: kind of confidence does his confidence in you, you know

488
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: bring to the situation.

489
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 4: I love it.

490
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 5: I love it it definitely does you know. I wouldn't

491
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 5: say rial Schwortz, because I've never lost the confidence even

492
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 5: though I haven't been able to be out there with

493
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 5: the guys. Man, that's the one thing it's like, once

494
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 5: I am back out there, it's right where I left

495
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: off at The confidence isn't going nowhere. Appreciate mister Valley,

496
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 5: you know, just continue just to you know, stick by

497
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: me and man, once you get back on track, we

498
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 5: go up and roll with So I think for me,

499
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 5: man like, I just gotta be out there as simple

500
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: as that. Get the reps and rest.

501
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: Go take care of yourself now from you know, an

502
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 3: outsider looking in. You talk about the new defense in LOUDROOMO,

503
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: what is something to expect if you're you're looking at

504
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: at this defense compared to what we've seen the last

505
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: couple of years.

506
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 5: Like I reiterated, it's gonna be aggressive, but we also

507
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 5: do have, you know, different nuances to be able to

508
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 5: switch it up, throw different looks at the quarterbacks where

509
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 5: it may look like, okay, we got a one high

510
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 5: and we pulled out too much. We just throwing the

511
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 5: stuff around. It's just real difficult for the quarterback to

512
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 5: get like a real feel for the game. So I

513
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 5: do like that aspect and then man, it's just like

514
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 5: I said, you gotta beat this, you gotta be aggressive

515
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 5: and go put it in your face.

516
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: And with all of that, how I mean, is that

517
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: something you had done in the past. Is that a

518
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: type of defense you kind of you know, be that

519
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 3: hybrid We can do all kinds of days.

520
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 4: Comfortable with that for sure.

521
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 5: Back in college Kansas State, you know, they had a

522
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 5: lot of confidence in me to put me out wide

523
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 5: if I had to hold back at being rovers safety

524
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 5: in the back end, come down here and make some plays.

525
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: So I'm very confident in being versed on those type

526
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 5: of areas. But like I said, it's kind of similar

527
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 5: a little bit in the sense but it was at

528
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 5: three down in college.

529
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: But you can't do that in the league, right.

530
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 5: But it definitely has had some little different or similar

531
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 5: nuances that I can see.

532
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 4: We're kind of intertwine.

533
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: Final thing with Juju Brints, going back to those tough

534
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: times you had last year, how much of a chip

535
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 2: do you have on your shoulder? Because I think it's

536
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: safe to say that we as those that cover this team,

537
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: the fans, I think it's pretty safe to say that

538
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: we haven't seen the full version yet of Juju Brinz.

539
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, haven't you haven't seen in the man. I just

540
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 5: want to say, stay tuned like a boat or any

541
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 5: even know Chip is right. It's just the utmost confidence

542
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 5: I have it myself, the pride I have in myself. Man,

543
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 5: Like I'm playing in my city. I just want to

544
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 5: make my people proud. And it's been a blessing. Like

545
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 5: I said, everything that I've been through, like it's all

546
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 5: just led to this point where I'm at now.

547
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: I don't take any negatives from it.

548
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 5: You know, I'll give a lot of credit to my

549
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 5: mom and just my support cast is to keep me grounded,

550
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: right like when it happened, is go happen.

551
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: So this happens, it's gonna make it sweeter too.

552
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, so stay tuned.

553
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,119

Speaker 2: That's Juju Brinz here. We're back here live on the

570
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: last word. Casey Value again. I'm Matt Taylor. Just a

571
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: little bit of a sight. He was talking about David

572
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: West and you know that era of pace. I mean

573
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 2: that was ten years ago.

574
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: It feels like yesterday, isn't that true. I mean when

575
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: they showed Danny Granger, I think during one of the

576
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: you know, I forget what series it was, I was like, oh,

577
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: Danny Granger, I mean he just got done. Oh eleven

578
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: years ago.

579
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm old. I am old and crusty. When he's talking

580
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: about the the Eastern Conference Finals runs against the Heat

581
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: and Lebron James and Dwayne Wade, I mean, that's that's

582
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: forever ago, but somehow it's it's in the in the

583
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: not so wayback machine in my brain.

584
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lebron's been on like four teams, no.

585
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: Doubt so, and he ain't playing the finals.

586
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: I want to tell you that.

587
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: So good on Juju brnts. He's really giddy about, you know,

588
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: playing in this lou Anaroumo defense, being more aggressive, playing

589
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: some more press manned man, showing that physicality. But Casey,

590
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: it all boils down to availability, end consistency, no values

591
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: and performance like you talked about. He's got a tough job,

592
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: but consistency and availability as everything. And you know that

593
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: Juju knows that, and you're just rooting for him to

594
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: stay on the field and show finally what he can do.

595
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're rooting for that too, especially because I think

596
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: his skill set really lines up really really well with

597
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: this Ana Roumo defense. I think what is able to

598
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 3: offer in a couple different areas, you really want that

599
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: to be on the field. Little Narumo talked about it

600
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: this week about how he's got to be able to

601
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 3: show that he can consistently stack days day one after

602
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: day two to day three. So let's hope he can

603
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 3: stay healthy.

604
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,440

Speaker 2: the Last Word, the off season Home of the Colts.

625
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: More Pacer coverage with JMV coming up in just a

626
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: few minutes. We're gonna close out the show here case

627
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: talking about the Forum Credit Union question of the week,

628
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: which is outside of quarterback obviously, what is the Colts'

629
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: biggest you know, question mark or hanging Chad, whatever you

630
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: want to say heading into training camp now that the

631
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: spring is done.

632
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say mine is interior offensive line. We

633
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 3: know we have the battle there at center with Tanner

634
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 3: Bordolini and Danny Pinter and then also kind of seeing

635
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: the progression of Mackensalves. So those that's kind of my

636
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: biggest question mark. Which is a good thing because I

637
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: think you like everything that you know, all three of

638
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: those guys I just mentioned you like with the offer.

639
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: So that's a good thing, a good battle to see,

640
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 3: and that's kind of really my biggest question mark as

641
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: we head into camp.

642
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 2: All Right, Tanner Bordolini the starter at center. Gut feeling,

643
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 2: that's what my gut feeling says, yeah, Ad Gonzalveez at

644
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 2: right guard, correct, yep. And then who's kicking.

645
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go, Spencer Schrader

646
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: just because I think they really liked what he offered

647
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 3: last year. There's kind of confident he is back. I

648
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: know he's got a very small sample size, but this

649
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: staff really really likes what they saw out of Spencer Strader.

650
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 3: So I think he's gonna win that job.

651
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 2: And we talked to Spencer Strader last week on the show.

652
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: That show is up on demand. It's archives, So if
