  Speaker 6: No games. I didn't throw any complete games out there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: You could find the games this week, though.
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: I could find the games, which was a huge upgrade
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: from last last week. I tried most you weren't here
• 3:59

• 4:01
  Speaker 9: to watch as much baseball I could last week.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: I respect that. I respect the hell out of it. Man,
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: I really do the efforts there. That's what's important.

• 4:10
  Speaker 9: outcoming life.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Do you want?
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Baseball didn't put the effort we needed them into the broadcast.

  Speaker 9: Now there's multiple people trying to illegally stream it. They
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: put in a lot of good effort. They got taken down,
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: they did by the YouTube cops. Yeah, but not this week,
• 4:25
  Speaker 9: the fun police.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Not this week. Upgraded the old ESPN app subscription. Not
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: a big deal. You got to expense that, you should.

  Speaker 9: That's a good idea. It wasn't extra like work related.
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: What was it extra nine ninety nine a month? Yeah,

  Speaker 4: different position groups, just having those conversations with the next
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: wave of the NFL.

  Speaker 4: sheet in front of me, like who it is, And
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: it was a last name that had thirty seven vowels
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: and it was about a mile and a half long,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: and they throw the sheet in front of me and
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Here we go, here we go, let's got it. I
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: don't remember what it was, but I was like, maybe
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: like a head's up.
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah it's something, and my guy's coming up, like the
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: we get the parentheses next to it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: That tells me how to sound this out like a child.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Let me get my finger out and sound it out
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: like a child, because there.
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: Is thirty seven thousands more like European? Was this more
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: island islander? Yeah, okay, that's a tough one. It's tough,
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: but you know what, we made it.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: We made it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: Did you just him like like casually drop his first
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: name in the first letter of his last name.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: I don't remember what I out I should have. Yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: it's a good move. Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: You remember the old commercial like when collect calls used
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: to be a thing, and the guy didn't have money
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: for the collect call and so it's like, hey, say
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: your name on an old collect call. So your name
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: is like uh and then just had a baby, right,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: and he was trying to get as much as he
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: could in this little bitty windows.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: Like, Bob we out of baby. It's a boy.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: It's calling you. I felt like that's what I called
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: that guy. Yeah, Bob we out of baby.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: It's a boy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: I like that. Yeah, But we did it. Do you
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: accept these charges? N He did not. He did not.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: He did not. Uh so yeah, sixty five or so.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Players energy was great my co host was great. It
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: was a lot of fun. Again, it's fun because he's
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: a front office guy. I'm the player, all right, different
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: perspective on that process and the combine. I think you
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: would have really enjoyed that process. I know interviews aren't
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: your favorite things sometimes, but you would have really enjoyed
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I think sitting down with some of the players, some
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: of the quarterbacks, for.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: Sure enjoyed sitting down with the quarterbacks. You would have
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: enjoyed the sinners too. Okay, a lot of protection talk,
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: A lot of protection talk. Do you did you call
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: the mics in college.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Or a lot?
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: So one of my questions any center and quarterback that
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: we got up there, I wanted to know their process.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I said, all right, it's third and long, third and
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: seven plus we're in our base sub protection. Walk me
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: to the line of scrimmage and give me your process.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: And they did. And it was awesome.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, some really smart football players.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Pat Coogan from Indiana was awesome. Jake Slaughter from Florida
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: was awesome. I'm singing some of the logan Jones from
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I was awesome singing some of the sinners.
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: Hey, center center, you know John Doe, What was your process?
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: What was Did you call the mics on protections? And
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: if they said yes, I'd have been like, well you
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: were at a trash offense. That would have been my response.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Well, Helms, he called the mic sometimes until you told
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: him he was dumb.
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: Dumb hey called the mic on running place. I mean
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: sometimes he'd suggest he did not call the mics. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: remember getting in an argument when he tried to one time.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Had a fist fight. Uh, he threw the ball at me,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: but I remember, yeah, yeah, I was there and it
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: wasn't a snap.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: But the centers like in the way they see it,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: it was, I mean different ones at different levels of
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: how they saw it, but it was.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: It's good.
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: That's fantastic that those those are the two that Hey,
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: you're right, the center's quarterbacks.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: That would have been the ones I would have nerded out.
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: It wouldn't have been a good interview because I would
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: have just nerded out and started talking about like one textree.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, so again, like I'll go back to it on
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the show that I've always done on Serious Probably not.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: The NFL radio is a it's a different vibe.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: The listeners are pretty in tune, a little bit more nerdy, yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: like pretty more in tune in too, like some of
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: the x's no's and the process in the way. I'll
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: have to go back and either listen or think about
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: the way that meant. Fernando Mendoza said it. His was
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: they had like an acronym. It was PIMP P I
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: m P H on his process walking to and he
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: went through the whole thing. It was incredible. I have
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: to think of what p I M P stood for
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: still for something different. I thought fifty cent song, but
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: it was impressive.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: I will think about that the race, see what it
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: could stand for. SOMP.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: But I definitely have some favorite players. Yeah, some favorites
• 13:58

• 15:14
  Speaker 9: Well, no, it's tricky sometimes.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: That's okay, we'll bring them back.
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: But I think, uh, I think our listeners had a
• 15:24
  Speaker 9: pretty good time. That's all it matters. That's all that matters. Sure,
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: we had some interviews. I didn't confuse Kim Milky this time,
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: and that's what you were there. She understood the question.
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: She understood every question.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I asked, which killed the J Clark interview Friday?
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, ine three head coaches, but by myself, no,
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: think no, Andred Taylor fed me a lot of questions.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Jay Johnson too, Oh yeah, I heard you were trying
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: to Were you talking philosophies with him? What was that
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: you were dealing with them?
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: I told him.
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: I was like, Hey, can we just swing away on
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: three to zero? Guys, let's stop taking owned some meat balls?
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah? What do you say to that? Uh?
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: He said absolutely, Glenn, you got it, he said no,
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: he gave the right answer.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: He said we He said, I do do that. I
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: do like to do that.

  Speaker 6: It's the best pitch you gonna see over the fence.

• 16:32
  Speaker 6: The Diddler. Yeah, no, old diddler, the old ghost Diddler. Yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Taylor's favorite place to go see. Yeah it is. That's
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: It's so weird how it takes him so long to go.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing. I'm telling I'm selling mad move.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: So I asked me one time. I was like, won't

• 19:37
  Speaker 4: and obviously our own stitchhead Matt Flynn yep, over here
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: to break down a little baseball. After the midweek lost
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: there to McNeice, and I didn't get a chance to
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: watch it was still on air, but man, I was
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: living through it through uh the wolf Back and y'all
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: were going through it. We were, Yeah, but you lose
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: that game seven to six, and then you come back
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: and you get a win on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Dartmouth
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: a couple of times, and Northeastern. So I will throw
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: this one to you, Moose. Your biggest takeaway from the
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: LSU Baseball weekend.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: The pitching staff.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know a lot of people are gonna
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: want to talk about the offensive struggles.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Whan we can. They weren't very good over the course
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: of three games.
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: But the pitching staff picked up all the slack that
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: was left there, and that's great to see. I mean,
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: you want to see them win games in different ways,
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: and I think there is value in them winning five
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: to two, three to one, and then three to nothing.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: You got really good efforts from all three starters over
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: twenty innings combined in a one three three, one three
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: four era. From that group, they punched out twenty nine.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: I mean, you look at Cooper Moore and William Schmid.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: They both got you into the eighth inning. I mean,
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: that's your Saturday and Sunday guy case. And Evans really
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: found his way into a groove after a little bit
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: of a rocky start with some free passes.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: So you love that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: And your bullpen through shutout ball, And what.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: You also saw is you saw LSU on Friday and
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Saturday only use four pitchers, which if you can run
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: Evans and Gidry out there on a Friday, you feel
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: pretty good about that. If you can run more and
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: Shearing out there on a Saturday, I think you feel
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: pretty good about that. But your bullpen, in the process
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: of throwing the shout out ball, came up with some
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: really really big moments in the game and got you
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: out of some tight jams in close matchups, which, given
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: LSU's offensive prowess in the first eight to nine games
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: of the season, that really wasn't an opportunity because they
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: were just steamrolling everybody. So to see them do that,
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: there is value there because, you know what, you're not
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: gonna steamroll everybody. Once the thirty game gauntlet starts, You're
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: gonna have to come in and get some tough out.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: So for me, it's the pitching staff far and away.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: I mean again, if you're getting three earned from your
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: starters and shut out from your bullpen, you're feeling pretty
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: good about that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the pitching staff certainly has been something
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: on Saturday and Sunday. I mean, we've talked about it
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: so many times, Moss. I know you've talked about it,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: like if you can get that on Sunday from William Smith.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: You weren't really sure, like, you know, the talent's there,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: But he's still a young player, still only a true
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: sophomore last year. You could see why everybody was excited
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: about it. But again, right, he's a young baseball player,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: true freshman, playing on a national championship team, and the
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: way that he started this season is like the best
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: possible scenario I think for LSU baseball. If you get
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: that version of him, I think about it, a guy
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: that was going to be first round pick, a guy
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: that every scout loved, and you got him on campus.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: We were all shocked when you got him on campus.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: If that guy gets the ball every Sunday and has
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: this mentality, because it feels like that switch has flipped.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: It feels like he remembers, Oh, I'm really really good,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: and when I go out there and take care of
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: my business, I can be a Friday night stuff guy
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: on Sunday. I mean that is like a utopia situation
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: for LSU baseball.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: The confidence really stands out watching him, especially yesterday. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: mean you could still see him kind of feeling his
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: way through it. I feel like against UCF because he
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: had a little bit of a rocky start against Milwaukee,
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: pitched great against Central Floor, I mean five shot out, like,
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: he was very good, but I think you could still
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: see at times some kind of feeling his way through it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: He through everything with conviction.
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, got the ball, went was confident, just it definitely
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: looked like he said okay, wait yeah, that I can
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: do this. I mean, he faced four over the minimum
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: all day long. That's I mean, that's really good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: He landing the breaking stuff has helped.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: But to me, the confidence yesterday that he showed is
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: the biggest difference that I've seen in williams Strutt so.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Far, because I mean, the walks, the control, that's what
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: got him in trouble.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: It's freshman season, so to see him go back out
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: there command the plate, it's it's something that certainly, if
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: it continues, LSU is going to be exactly the team
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: that we thought they were, which is a team that
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: goes deep, a team that has a chance, a team
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: that has an opportunity to run him back again.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: There.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: So I know it's not your favorite brand of baseball, Matthew,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: because you liked Aangers.
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: I Like, I asked Jay Johnson last week because they
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: had just come off the midweek loss and said, like,
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: you're you get all the accolades for being a great
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: coach and what you do on the baseball field and
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: how you get pictures ready and hitter's ready and and
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: everything you do with the lineup, everything all that is awesome.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: I was like, but any really good coach.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: Is a part time psychiatrist, basically, right, And you're dealing
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: with the mentality of eighteen to twenty three year old kids.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: They just started a season. There's no way to prepare
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: for a seaton in baseball. They're playing.
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: They've played a lot of baseball right, right, and so
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: you have to, like you talk about the lineup struggles
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: and you talk about earlier, you know, the pitchers trying
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: to figure it out, and it seems like they have
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: figured out certainly this weekend. But you're gonna have the
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: ups and downs at the plate, you're gonna go cold,
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: you're gonna you're not gonna have the you're not gonna
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: have the success every single week and that you do
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: the weekend before. It's just it's one of those things.
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: You're still we just got into March. They've played a
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: lot of baseball in the last couple of weeks. The
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: lineup is still fantastic, so there's nothing to be where
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: like kind of like the Moose's point, it was kind
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: of nice to see the pitchers have to have to
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: make pitches, have to get out, and they certainly did so.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Mus I'll throw back to you and Tayay if you
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: got anything, obviously jump right in when you look at
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: the offensive struggles, right And I'm trying to watch a
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: little bit there while I'm doing some of the shows
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: in Indie, it really felt like to me, and it
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: could you know, it could be a different case, but
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: it was really there was no table setting. It felt
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: like the top of the lineup really struggled as well.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: And I went back and I'm kind of reviewing some
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: of yesterday's game, and it's just you can't start a
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: game where you're one and two hole hitters go zero
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: for eight with four strikeouts. Like to me, that was
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: like the issue as we all know, like you want
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: to get guys on base, you want to get the
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: top of the lineup going, and yesterday, for me, it
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: felt like those struggles came from the top of the
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: lineup because they didn't give themselves a chance. I mean,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: I want to say, I don't even know if they
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: got on base outside of maybe one.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: Error the leadoff to I don't even think they've reached
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: base on air.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: Korea, Yes, Korea.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: On the eighth inn, he reached reached on the air
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: because then Brown hit the double over the center fielders
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: had to score him. So yes, they reached on the
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: air there at the top of the order. Definitely struggled that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: It is kind of just all throughout though, man one
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: through nine all weekend. I mean to steal a phrase
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: from Jay Johnson, they seem like they're very out of
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: character at the plate right now. There's a lot of flyouts,
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: which that's not what Jay's ever looking for. He wants
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: it middle of the field and backside on a line
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: on the ground, hard hit balls, doubles in the gap,
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: that type of thing. And to me.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: The timing looks off for them an awful lot.
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: And I don't think their pitch selection was the best
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: this weekend, But it's.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: One of those things where.
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: You look at it in the vacuum, you say, okay, yea,
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: it was bad, Like unless you hit one sixty four
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: as a team over these three games.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: That's not good. Like that, that's bad.
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: But I also can't unsee the first nine games of
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: the year where they hit like three sixty as a
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: club and score ten runs a game, Like it's in there.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: We know they can do that. And last time I check,
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: number two is still in the dugout. So if he's
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: still in the dugout and running the program and working
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: with the hitters. They're they're gonna get it figured out.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: Every team that man's ever had anywhere has hit this
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: one already has this year, and they will again. It's
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: it just wasn't great this weekend.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: And this is gonna sound is gonna sound so elitist,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: and I don't want it to, but it's going to.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: It's fine whatever.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Like even coaching young people baseball, right when you've been
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: facing good staff, good staff, good staff, good staff, throwing
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: kind of what you've always kind of seen, right, and
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: then you come to a staff that's maybe hitting eighty
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: nine to ninety one.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Now they're hitting their spots.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: You gotta give him credit, yeah, but they're not throwing
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: ninety four ninety six. You got to make that adjustment,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: like it happens to us and youth based ball time.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Like you got guys our whole team, like their front
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: foot is in the very tip top of the batter's box, right,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: You're trying to make those adjustments, and like sometimes you'll
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: have a weekend where that happens, and you got to
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: find a way to grid out some victories and they
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: have and else she's three and zero in the process
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: sometimes and we've seen this in LSU baseball history certainly,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: when you go what you're used to seeing and then
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: it dips down from ninety four to ninety five to
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: eighty nine to ninety one, some of those adjustments don't happen.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Well, it's it feels like to me, they're trying to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: kill it. Like we talked about that, We.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: Talk about that they were trying to hit Tiger Stadium.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: They fell behind like pretty big against McNeese, and it
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: looked like they were trying to kill it. I mean,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: he mentioned all the popouts over the weekend. Like yeah,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and if you guys heard Jay Johnson's postgame comments on
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the radio interview on Friday night, he said, somebody else
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: is gonna have to run this program because I'm going
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to live with this team in the batting cages. You
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: gotta trust that Jay Johnson's going to turn this thing around.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Somebody else is going to have to run the team
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: because I'm going to be in the adding cages with
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: these guys until further notice. And like yeah, Curie all
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and Brown they were great, but like Friday night they
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: were good. I mean Friday night, Curiole what two for five,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: scored a run two rbr's Jake Brown one for three
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: RBI drew a walk.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: It was just after that.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I mean you you go look at the rest of
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the lineup, and even with those two the last two
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: games of the series, I just think they're trying to
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: do too much.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: At the play.
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: They went one to sixty four against two teams that
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: had their uniforms made by Russell Athletics.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, we talked about it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: Though I didn't know they were still in business. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: don't know they're still making unis.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: We talked about it though. You were like, oh, they're
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: facing Dartmouth nerds. They're probably studying. They don't stand a chance.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: But then we were like, wait a minute, they're calculating.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: The ball velocity. A bunch of nerds speaking.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Teams say, if any sport has the analytics that you
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: can try to cheat it here and there, it's baseball.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know if Dartmouth had a player that could
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: see over a five eight fence. Bro. They they were not.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I'm about to look up the road.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: They are not very tall out there, the big green,
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: the big Green, not very big.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, but they were gritty, man.
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: They were.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: They got to be gritty with uniforms that scratchy.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: That's hey man, I'll I still say the worst unions
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: that have come through the box so far this year
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: were Milwaukee, the ones they wore on Sunday where it
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: just said m K E across the chip I mean,
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: and then the state of Wisconsin on their hat and
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: no one could figure.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Out what it was like.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: You're like, if your state is not recognized, shap like like,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: let me say it's the boot. Nobody knows what Florida's like,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: get your wisk, Caltain, nobody knows.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: No one knows that the outline of Wisconsin looks like.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: You're about to get there.

  Speaker 5: Okay, you lived here and you played there, all right.

  Speaker 4: All right, NFL Combine, did we have any standout performances
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: that anybody in the room would like to talk about
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: before our wax poetic about one certain player.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, Xavion Thomas made himself some money over the weekend.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: It's funny.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: An article came out last week and uh Me and
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Matt were chopping up about it. It was like five
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: players that could potentially break the combine forty record and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: we were like, hey, two tigers are on here and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Brown and Chris Hill.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Now they both ran well.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Barreon Brown was a four four zero and I think
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Chris Hilden was a four four to one. And then
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I saw Xavi on Thomas go out there and on
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a four to two eight, Like that should show you
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the embarrassment of riches. Did LSU had last year receiver like,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: which is why the administration had to make a change. Yes,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: with everything, It's just like I watched it. I was like, man,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I'm happy for Xavi on Thomas. I was like, I'm
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: kind of pissed off at LSU's offense from a year
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: ago because I mean, not some Mayer's performing well the receivers,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: but Xavi on Thomas, if you've ever heard an interview
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: with him, when he came out to player interviews, nicest
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: guy on the team, Like, couldn't happen to a better dude.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: So he made himself some money over the weekend.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Love it.
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: I think aj Halsey not only did he confirm and
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: solidify his draft spot, but he probably enhances it he
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: goes out and runs a four or five four we
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: were talking about last week, all if he runs a
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: four to five, that answers all the questions that you
• 34:54
  Speaker 9: could potentially have on him.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: He looked different than every safety out there in the
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: best way every other and he ran that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: I saw the video of hitting the gauntlet. Yeah, like,
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: yeah he did, You're right. He looked thick.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: He looked like, I can give you some will backer
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: and certain defenses if no doubt, if they ask.
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: You to do that, Like he's he's he's screaming like
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: camp Chancellor to me. Yeah, that's like the comp that
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: I have in my head for him. I was in
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: I saw him run the gauntlet. Yeah, where they you
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: catch you catch the ball here, you turn on catch it,
• 35:23
  Speaker 9: then you run down the middle of the field.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: And he looked a lead like people will.
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: Watch that and be like, oh, that was good, but
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: people don't understand how elite like his rep was, Like
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: that was a really good rep for a high profile
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: wide receiver. And then I also kind of look at
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: it too, so maybe like he's a big guy, so
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: I think he's six foot two fifteen. I believe this
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: was this host. I think got over two twenty at
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: the official way. So his ten yard dash was a
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: one point six to two, which was like in the
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: lower like twenty four percent, not very not very good.
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: But his forty yard dash was four or five to two,
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: which is sixty seven. So in between that ten and thirty,
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: so his get off isn't like the fastest, but like
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: in between that, he's running at an elite top speed.
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: Going from twenty four percent out to sixty seven in
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: the last half of a forty shows you, like the
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: top end speed that he does have and a perfect
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: example of a drop down safety and maybe not the free,
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: maybe not the free that's roaming the Earl Thomas type
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: of got but I think he solidified. The other guy
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: who I think helped himself and it has nothing to
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: do with what he did physically, was Garrett Neustmeyer. Yeah,
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: going into more detail. Now everybody's like, well, what the hell,
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: like this is frustrating. Now he was injured, we get it,
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: he's talking about it. We're probably talking to his doctors. Now, yeah,
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: he said it, you know, senior boy, he talked to us.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: But he's the first time he ever really opened up
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: about it was with us. He went into more detail.
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: And it's the best piece of advice he could have
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: gotten from an agent, from a dad, from a coach.
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: For whoever, open up about it, give him details, create
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: doubt in their minds about why you played bad. And
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: I think just that interview alone has to like move
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: him up yeap, just because like, okay, well let's go
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: back and now we got it. We can only evaluate
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: when he was healthy. Now, well, when he was healthy,
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: he was a projected first rounder.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: So in the circles that you're around and look and
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: there's everybody's in this room, and I mean we had
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Kevin Stefanskiwa had Shane Stikeen, we had Dan Quinn, Steven
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Jones from the Cowboys, Mike McDonald who just won a
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl. We had all these coaches on, right, and
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: so you hear stuff, You hear people talking, You hear
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: some different whispers going on. And Garrett Nessmeyer, I think
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: is actually more talked about in a positive way in
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: those circles than he is like maybe in a national narrative.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Now some of that's coming around too, but he's still
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: very well liked. Oh yeah, and you hear things like
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: but you don't know how he crushed the interviews and
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: like we knew that was going to happen if we
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: can get him back to health of the year before,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Like we feel like this guy's going to be steal
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Like those conversations.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: Were going on.
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, this is going to be such an interesting draft,
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: such an interesting offseason at the quarterback position in the NFL,
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: the NFL. The quarterback position in the NFL is such
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: a healthy spot. There's so many good players, Like it
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: was hard making a top ten list every single week
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: during the season because who do I keep out? Who
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: do I put in? Like there's so much great NFL
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: quarterback play happening. But this is such an intriguing offseason
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: because you want to hear your list of free agents
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: Yeat Tua, got Kyler, Murray Kirk, Cousins, Gina Smith, Malik Willis, period.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: So if you're the Jets and you need a quarterback,
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: and that's the list that you hear if you don't,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: if you don't get one, or even trying, But who
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: they going to get because that free agent classes week.
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you what they do have. They have six
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: first rounders and they on draft day they'll have seven
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: because you can you can trade up to I think
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: four drafts in advance and on draft day they'll have seven.
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: They can have a lot of quarterbacks we got. You
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: want to talk about a blockbuster trade if they want to, Yeah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: how about five first rounders for Frenanda Mendoza, five first
• 39:19
  Speaker 9: rounders for Joe Burrow, five first rounders.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: For Lamar Jackson.
• 39:23
  Speaker 9: Like at some point, everybody's got a price that is
• 39:26
  Speaker 9: a price that the Jets can match, and only the
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: Jets can match.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Yep. So there's a weak list of free agents yep.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: And you can't win if you ain't out one, you
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: can't do it. And you can say old Sam Sam
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Donald's the top five pick. They went to a horrible franchise.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Speaking of the Jets, it's not like he forgot how
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: to play quarterback. He just went to a terrible situation,
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: was still very young and found his way. Look at
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: the quarterbacks that have won the Super Bowls, look at
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: the quarterbacks that have made the playoffs. There's a reason
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: why we all know exactly where Brock already got selected,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: because he's the outlier.
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: You gotta have that, dude, Daniel bashm great point five
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: first round US for Rattler, no doubt.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Oh we'll get to somebody that. Come on, man, tell
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: me you don't know football without telling me you don't
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: know football. But anyways, Moose for you take a break,
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: because mine's gonna take a whole segment somebody that shoot
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: out to you.
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: Uh yeah, well I was actually gonna go with nuss
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: Meyer for the for the reason that Flynn said, Man,
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: it looked like he threw the ball really well too.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: So not only did he.
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: Explain the injury in great detail be able to really
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: control that narrative, he also went out there and showed
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: that he was healthy. He saw a couple of the
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: deep ones that he was able to uncork kind of
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: just on social media. And I mean you patch that
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: up with his performance at the Senior Bowl and then
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: the combine. I mean, I get it, this season didn't
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: go the way he wants. You don't have as much
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: tape recently, but as you said, Matt, I mean he
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: just told you.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: I basically couldn't throw the football. Yeah, this past season.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: So you go back to four when when he was
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: really really healthy and really good, and I think, I
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: don't know if it's enough to play himself back in
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: the first round, but I think he's definitely risen on
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: day two.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely in the conversation of second quarterback off
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: the board, I heard that with my own ears there,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Boots free Agents.
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: We just gave you, all right, when.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: We come back in the last segment of hour number one,
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: I'll give you the player that stood out to me
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: the most at the NFL scouting combine, and we'll do
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: it right here on OTB.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: Off the bench.
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: The morning.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: From the locker room to the airwaves. Gets off the
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB here on this Monday morning. Uh,
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: being in Indianapolis for the last week, had a chance
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: to catch up with, as we said, sixty sixty five
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: players I know somewhere around that and a lot of
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: really really good, just young men I think going into
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: the NFL well spoken right reasons. Uh, very refreshing to
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: kind of have those conversations with them. But one stood
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: out more than any other player this is before testing,
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: before he did what he did on the field, and
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: that was Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles blew me away
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: with his football like you during the interview. His dad
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: played six years in the NFL. His brother ran a
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: four to two eight at the NFL Combine as well,
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: So it certainly comes from a nice lineage there. But
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: just hearing him talk about coverages, hearing him talk about
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: run fits and all these different things blew me away.
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: And then he went out.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: There and put on an epic performance. So he measured
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: in at six four and some change two hundred and
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: forty four pounds, ran a four to four to six,
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: vertical jump of forty three and a half, a broad
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: jump of eleven to two, crushed the three cones seven
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: zero nine forty yard schednel four.
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: To two six.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: He has started over forty games at Ohio State, played
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: in over fifty and is still twenty one years old.
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: I'll say that again.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: He started over forty games already in his college career
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: as twenty one years old.
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: Did that as a seventeen year old.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: He started at safety, moved to nickel, and then became
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: the Green Dot Mike linebacker. You know how hard that
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: is to do to be able to do all three
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: of those things. But he did them at an incredibly
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: high level. So if you're in the camp of you
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: can't take an off the ball linebacker at this spot,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: you don't know the player. You're just saying that based
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: off other players. I love Jacob Rodriguez, he can't take
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: him there.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: I get that.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Sonny Styles is not Jacob Rodriguez, and I mean that
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: with all due respect. Sonny Styles is a game changer.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: He's lined up on all three levels. He can continue
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: to line up in multiple spots. He can line up
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: on the edge here, he can line up as a
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: green dot mike linebacker. He can line up wherever you
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: need him. If you have a pick and you're in
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: the top ten, do not put Sonny Styles in the
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: same camp as every other off the ball linebacker.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: He's different.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: He's different with his football IQ, he's different with his
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: skill set, and he has gotten forty five starts twenty
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: one years old. There's still more development that can be
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: had with Sunny Styles. We'll be back hour number two
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: off the bench
