25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: fun coming up on the night show. We're going to

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: discuss the latest with the coltson free agency. The additional

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie loved this. We're gonna get into that.

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: We'll also hear from Alec Pierce, whose brother I'm sure

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: you followed this, guys, whose brother plays for Princeton. They're

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna take on Creighton tonight in the sweet sixteen. An

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: incredibly talented family over there. Very oh my gosh. And

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: the kid's a freshman. Yeah, his brother, he's playing a

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: huge integral part of this thing. So hey, good luck tonight.

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 1: But we are going to hear from Alec and about

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: his little brother at Princeton. Listen. Earlier this week, Case

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Colt signed free agent wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie. He immediately

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: projects as a team starting slot receiver after the departure

38
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell. That goes without saying right, similar style, similar

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: body wake up, make up, similar speed tactics that they have. Yeah,

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of that. There's the similarities between

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: he and Paris. They both have that speed aspect, very

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: similar in their play. But the biggest thing, and no

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: knock on Paris, is the health that Isaiah McKinsey has

44
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: shown throughout his career. He has been more durable than

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: what you saw as Paris Campbell. So if you're kind

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: of comparing, it apples to apples. McKinsey also coming off

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: a career year last year with Buffalo, So you know,

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: it's one of those where you look at it from

49
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: a health standpoint, you feel like you might get more

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: out of what Isaiah McKinsey than what you have seen

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: to the career of Paris. Hey, I remember in that

52
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: playoff game we lost up in Buffalo a few years back.

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: He made some big plays later into the game, toe

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: dragon and whatnot. That's what we're getting here. Listen. Last year,

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: he's heading into his seventh NFL season. He's coming up,

56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: like you said, his most productive year. Forty two receptions,

57
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: four hundred twenty three yards, four touchdowns, and a lot

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: of stuff with the digs up there. Don't forget you

59
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that's the thing. When you think

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: about that offense, the numbers he put up, that's pretty

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: impressive with all the weapons they had in Buffalo for sure.

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: So originally a fifth rounder by Denver in twenty seventeen,

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: spent most of his career with the Bulls. They released

64
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: him after signing a pair of receivers the Bills and

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: former Saints wide out Dante Hardy and former Dolphins pass

66
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: catcher Trent Scherfield Sherefield rather in free agency case, what

67
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: do you like about this? I mean, we know the

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell obviously a New York Giant right now. I

69
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: know he's going to slide into that. But more so,

70
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: what do you like that he brings to this wide

71
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: receiver room outside of just filling the role of slot receiver. Yeah,

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: so I like that, But I also like the aspect

73
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: that he's played with that Bills team for the last

74
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: couple of years. Because you look at this Colts team.

75
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: Not I wouldn't say it's a rebuild, but it's kind

76
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: of a retooling. So you're gonna have some roster adjustments.

77
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: You got a lot of things that are happening. So

78
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: getting a guy who's been a team that is a

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you know, caliber type team the last handful

80
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: of years. He brings that kind of mentality and when

81
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: you hear him talk with the media and all of that,

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: sounds like he was one of the leaders in that

83
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver room. He was one of the older guys

84
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: in that Bill's room. So he can kind of bring

85
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: that veteran aspect to kind of help a guy like

86
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman continue to kind of rally the troops. So

87
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: I I like a lot of the locker room presence,

88
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: what his experience level is. And then I think as

89
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: you see what he put up last year career in numbers,

90
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: he looks like his trajectory, he's kind of really finding

91
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: his own. So it may be another way to kind

92
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: of tap into another guy who was on his way

93
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: up at a pretty reasonable price tag. Hey, I want

94
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: to talk about that wide receiver room specifically, Ashton Dulan

95
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: resigned here, talented young man, special team's ace. He can

96
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: burn it. Take you over the top tight set up

97
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: now with the addition of Mackenzie and don't forget the

98
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: NFL Draft coming up. Correct, what do you like about this?

99
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: We got Pittman out there, we got Pierce out there

100
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: going into second year. Obviously what Isaiah brings to it,

101
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: and we got Michael Strauan the type like that that

102
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna be looking at. I'm not talking about the

103
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: tight ends here case, I'm just talking about the wide receivers. Well,

104
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: I think definitely you saw a lot out of Michael

105
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: Pittman junior last year, almost one hundred receptions. I mean,

106
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: one of the guys that he's a go to target.

107
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce really came on. He had a pretty productive

108
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: rookie year. It was kind of ups and downs, but

109
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: once he kind of found his groove, you saw that

110
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: potential kind of take off. So you look at those

111
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: two guys as your clear cut one two options, and

112
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: then you throw a guy in there like Isaiah McKinsey

113
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: who is a reliable guy in this league, and Ashton

114
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: Doolan being your fourth receiver. You like those odds. He's

115
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: a guy that last year had a very great camp.

116
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: You thought he was going to have a bigger role.

117
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: He had a couple of injuries that kind of really

118
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: kind of halted him from really catching momentum and continuing

119
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: throughout the season. But I think all four of those

120
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: win healthy and then Mike Strown if he continued to

121
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: make that next big target, that next leap, another big

122
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: target for whoever the quarterback is. I like the right

123
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: receiver group right now. I don't think they're done. So

124
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: a couple more weapons is always gonna make this better.

125
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: You never know. We get thinking at scratching our head

126
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: this time of year. Colts are sitting at number thirty

127
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: five right in the second round. Some of the experts saying, hey,

128
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: is it an offensive lineman, is it a defensive backfield member?

129
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Is it a wide receiver? So I'm saying they're getting

130
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: a good player at that thirty. Pome absolutely knows what

131
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: they're going to pull in. But but case the first

132
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: wave of this NFL free agency, it's coming gone. I

133
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: want to go over our additions and subsubtractions real quick,

134
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew in Zah. We talked about ebucom the defensive

135
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: end from Sam Fran, Matt Gay from La Tavan. Brian

136
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: added at the defensive tackle position. We retained our own

137
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: like Chris Ballard talks about e J. Speed, Ashton Dulan,

138
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: Taekwon Lewis, Tony Brown. There lost Matt Ryan obviously, Stefan, Gilmour,

139
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: Bobbio Karaka, and Paris Campbell go off to the New

140
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: York Giants cornerback Brandon facing back to the Raiders, knowing

141
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: what you know right now, right now, and we're not

142
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: done yet, right but what is what free agent edition

143
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: of this group that I just mentioned? Do you like

144
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: the best for the Colts. I'm kind of a one

145
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: A one B. I think one A I would go

146
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew, a guy who's he's got familiarity with

147
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Shane Steikin, so you get that connection. I don't know

148
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: if he's going to be the guy day one, but

149
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: it may be. They'd say draft a rookie. You've got

150
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: a guy who has playing in this system, he's played

151
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: in this division, he's played in the NFL, can kind

152
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: of ease you in, and he's got some upside. I mean,

153
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is still a young guy. So I like

154
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. And then the guy we were just talking about,

00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: make every moment more earlier. This week, Lara Overton spoke

208
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: with Colts receiver Alec Pierce about his younger brother, Cayden.

209
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: He's a freshman basketball player at Princeton. They're taking out

210
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Creyton a night in the Sweet sixteen. Lara was talking

211
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: to Alec about how proud he is of his brother.

212
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: That Cinderella story. He's not only named Ivy League Rookie

213
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: of the Year, but he's also helping his team reachs

214
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. Here's Lara with Alec Pierce eleven months

215
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: out of the year. You know him as Colts wide

216
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: receiver Alec Pierce, but in the month of March, he

217
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: is best known as Cayden Pierce's big brother. That is

218
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: because the Princeton freshman was not only the Ivy League

219
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, but has also helped his team

220
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: to one of the best stories we've seen in the

221
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: NC Double A Tournament. How proud are you, Alec, to

222
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: be the big brother of Kayden and see his team

223
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: making appearance in the Sweet sixteen. I mean, I'm incredibly proud.

224
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's just been like truly a Cinderella story

225
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: and just something that you know, I know he's dreamed

226
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: of all his life, and me and my bros. I

227
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: think you're dreamed of two. So it's super fun to watch.

228
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: How do you describe the emotion of watching that Princeton

229
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: team fifteen seed pull off those upsets because you guys

230
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: were all there, your entire family able to be a

231
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: part of it. I mean, I'm incredibly proud. You know,

232
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: it's just been like truly a Cinderella story and just

233
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: something that you know, I know he's dreamed of all

234
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: his life, and me and my bros. I think a

235
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: dream of two. So it's super fun to watch. How

236
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: do you describe the emotion of watching that Princeton team

237
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: fifteen seed pull off those upsets because you guys were

238
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: all there, your entire family able to be a part

239
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, no, it's it was shocking, truly, Like,

240
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how much we really expected,

241
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: especially at Arizona game him just the way it went.

242
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: They were kind of I don't think they were leading

243
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: until maybe a minute half left in the game. So

244
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: just watching that was just shocking. That end there, it

245
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: just took the lead and then right then and there

246
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: the game was over, and just like did that really

247
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: just happen? You know, it's it's wild. It's truly shocking.

248
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: We're pretty used to seeing you be really composed on

249
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: the sidelines around the field. What are the level of

250
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: nerves though, of watching your brother, in particular, he had

251
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: a couple of critical free throws to hit in that

252
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: big windover Arizona. Yeah, well, no, we were fired up,

253
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I think they had us on TV,

254
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: like a bunch of people were sending us videos that

255
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: and it's pretty funny because like somebody said something my mom,

256
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: like it was me, my brother, my older brother, Justin,

257
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: and my dad and then my mom, Like we were

258
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: all going crazy, and my mom was just standing there

259
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: just like nodding their head and they're like, wow, that

260
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: like that savage right there, Like she's just she's just

261
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: right there, and you know she just knows it's going

262
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: in like no emotion, but like the arrest of us

263
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: were going crazy. So shout with the mom on that right. Absolutely,

264
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: that's where that's where that demeanor comes from, that locked

265
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: in composure. Your older brother, Justin played college basketball and

266
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: now plays professionally overseas. I was talking with your parents

267
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: about this being a bit of a role reversal because

268
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: Kayden has been the younger brother just kind of going

269
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: along being in the stands to watch your whole career

270
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: high school, college pros and then Justin's career as well.

271
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: How much of a role reversal is this for you

272
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: to be able to sit in the stands and finally

273
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: cheer for your baby brother. Oh, it's great. I love it.

274
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: You know, It's something I'd definitely try and you know,

275
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: support him as much as I can because last year,

276
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: so last year he won the state championship in basketball,

277
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: and I knew during that whole draft process. I tried to.

278
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: I think I came back for the state championship game

279
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: and maybe a one or two other games he played.

280
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: But I just loved being able to cheer him on

281
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: because I just remember those days long basketball tournaments and

282
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: he would be dragged along to everything. You know, he'd

283
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: be like four or five years old and he'd be

284
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: out there shooting hoops in between games, just because he

285
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: had to come along to everything with our parents. So

286
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: the athletic gens very strong, not just among your brothers,

287
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: but your parents athletes at Northwestern. Your dad played football,

288
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: your mom played volleyball. How did the basketball gene end

289
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: up skipping you between your brothers? Um, I don't know. Yeah,

290
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: I just never was never was too good and never

291
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: read a jump shower. That's what my brothers will say.

292
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: But I think I think football came a little bit

293
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: more naturally to me, and basketball is definitely something you

294
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: have to put a lot of time into. So I

295
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: was all about a bunch of different sports, and when

296
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: basketball season came, I'd pick up the basketball for the

297
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: first time and go try and play. And you know,

298
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: I was basically just had athleticism. Was never never too skilled,

299
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: so that's probably why why I skipped me. I'd say,

300
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: even though each of you have your unique skill sets,

301
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: what is one common theme trait characteristic among all three

302
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: of you. I think we're all really hard working, I'd say.

303
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: I think that's our our parents instill that in us.

304
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: And you know, never was really like like pushed us

305
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,119
Speaker 1: to play sports or anything. But I think hardworking, competitive,

306
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: just because we just grew up that's what we love doing,

307
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: and we always just played sports with each other and

308
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: it just kind of was built that way. So you know,

309
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: what is the dynamic among yourself and your brothers with

310
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: each of your differing personalities and interests in all of

311
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: you everything? So I'd say, you know, Justin's like someone

312
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: I more so look up to and being the he's

313
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: my bigger brother. You know, he's always been someone I

314
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: can go to serious things. And then Kaide's just kid's

315
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: four years younger than me, six years younger than Justin,

316
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: So he's always just been like the real goofy woman.

317
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I think our relationship is really light

318
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: and we goof around a ton. Compare for me, the

319
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: nerves of your playing in your first NFL game, versus

320
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: watching your brother in that first round of the mc

321
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: DOUAA tournament go up against Arizona, Well interesting, I think.

322
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I think it's almost more so, it's a different feeling

323
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: because you can't control anything, you know, just you're just

324
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: a fan their watch, and it's it's stressful. You get

325
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: in the stands and just like you know, you can't

326
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: do anything to affect the game. It's just whatever happens

327
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: is going to happen. So that's it's definitely stressful, I think.

328
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: All right, Compare for me the level of excitement celebration

329
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: for your first NFL touchdown versus watching your brother throw

330
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: down a dunk against Missouri to send his team to

331
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. I'd say it's both similar, you know.

332
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: It's it's it's awesome to see him, especially just go

333
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: out there and do his thing as a freshman and

334
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: just have so much success. So it makes me proud.

335
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: They will take on Creighton Friday night. The Sweet sixteen

336
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: is in Louisville. Because of how hectic your schedules have been,

337
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: the last few years, how special is it to have

338
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: all five of you together to enjoy this, Oh, it's

339
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: super specially. It rarely happens. I mean maybe sometime over

340
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: the summer, but yeah, it's it's it's a pretty greare

341
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: occurrence that we're all five together. So my mom's loving it.

342
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely actually should be well. Best of luck to Princeton,

343
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: the Tigers and Caden Piers. And if your team has

344
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: been bounced from the tournament like mine was, go ahead.

345
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: There's plenty of room on the Princeton bandwagon. Hop on board,

346
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: root for him. They got Creton on Friday night, Alec,

347
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Good luck, Yeah, thank you, all right,

348
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: best of luck. It's true, man, that's got the whole

349
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: family is gonna be biting their nails right now on

350
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: this one. It's Creton, Casey, it's Creton. Nothing against Creton's program,

351
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: but if Princeton Winston Night, I'm not shocked, right, I

352
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: completely Creton is a great team. I mean they've been wrong,

353
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: but but I would agree with you completely that at

354
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's Creton. This is this

355
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: is a toss up. If you want that coin flipping,

356
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Princeton. You keep up your backdoor cuts and

Speaker 1: be easy for you. The Colts signed kicker Matt Gay

420
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: in free agency last week. Since joining the Rams in

421
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,280

422

Speaker 1: field goals for ninety two and a half percent, including

423
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: twelve or fifteen from fifty yards or more. Okay, case

424
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: fill it in for Matt Taylor, who's usually pretty good.

425
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: Casey Bell, Yeah, here you go. Who is the only

426
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: NFL kicker to have a higher field goal percentage than

443
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: ball around ye the Pro Days. This week we saw CJ. Strale,

444
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, Will Levis those things going around. I am

445
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: talking about the Houston Texans big story, all right, the

446
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: Colts rival in the AFC South. They've been busy in

447
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: free agency. Set aside the new head coach, who I

448
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: love that higher, Yeah, but he's been busy. They made

449
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: two major editions in their offensive, green to one year

450
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: deals with Dalton Schultz, the tight ends from the Cowboys,

451
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: and running back Devin Singletary, the running back from the Bears.

452
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: He's they're now in Texans. They've also added Robert Woods,

453
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, free safety, Jimmy Ward, defensive tackle, Sheldon Rankins,

454
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: linebackers Corey Littleton, and Denzel Peraman. No case, here's where

455
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: it gets interesting. They own twelve picks in the upcoming draft.

456
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: Four of those picks are in the top three rounds.

457
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: Four of them in the top thirteen. That's incredible, So

458
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be busy. Look for them, they're presumably drafting

459
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback with the number two overall selection. They

460
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: have all the ammunition they need to add another game

461
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: changing rookie class, a lot of picks, some high ones

462
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: in there as well. Case these Texans are they in

463
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: line for that big rebound season? So we saw it

464
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: similar with Jacksonville going for kind of from worst the

465
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: first type of thing. Are they that team this year?

466
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Keep this in mind they went four and thirteen and

467
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: four and twelve and one in the last two years. Yeah,

468
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: I think they're in line for a rebound. I don't

469
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: know how big. I don't know if it's necessarily what

470
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: we saw out of Jacksonville last year. I think the

471
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: loss of Brandon Cooks is going to be a little

472
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: bigger than most think because he was just such a

473
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: reliable weapon. Robert Woods it's a good replacement. Robert Woods,

474
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: a good receiver. He's just a little bit older. Last

475
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: year he had some injury concerns, so there's that question

476
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: mark there. But they're definitely making some moves. And for me,

477
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for tight ends and I love Dalton Schultz.

478
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: I thought he was great with Dallas. It's a big

479
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: loss for the Cowboys, if you ask me, that's a

480
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: huge gain for the Texans. I think there's a definite

481
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: a resurgence that is happening in Houston. They've drafted well

482
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. They've got some guys that

483
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: are continue to grow, and this draft class here if

484
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: they can find their guy and add another weapon to that.

485
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: They've got John Metchi, who was a very highly touted

486
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: receiver last year set out because of the cancer that

487
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: he had, but he should be ready to go. So

488
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: they get another addition, almost like another rookie that you

489
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: almost forgot about. So they definitely are adding some pieces

490
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: down there in Houston. I don't know if I can

491
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: say they're gonna be competing for a division title, but

492
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: they're definitely gonna be a team. You can't just look

493
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: at the schedule and say there's a win. Hey, I'm

494
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: gonna bring up the AFC South every week because it's

495
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: a rare division. It looks like three new quarterbacks of

496
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: the four teams are going to be happening in twenty

497
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 1: twenty three. Do the Texans stay at two do they

498
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: grab a coveted quarterback at two, do they shift out

499
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: grab another quarterback or when? Or are they going quarterback

500
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: at all? I'm just saying, like the young class for

501
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: this rookie team, for this, for this Texan team is

502
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: going to rely on some rookies, and we're gonna find

503
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: out if they give the ball to that number two

504
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: overall pick, whoever it is, or if they move out. Casey,

505
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: you and I are following this because we're in the

506
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: same boat four right there, and it's finding out who

507
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: those quarterback needy teams are. You know what I'm saying.

508
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: In Tennessee's it's love that you said there could be three,

509
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: because I mean, what are they doing all those pictures?

510
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Who do you see right by c J. Stroud there's

511
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel right next to right Sextual Tennessee. I saw

512
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: that and probably at the Will Levis one earlier today.

513
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's gonna be interesting a lot coming up

514
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,840
