- 0:01Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
- 0:04Speaker 1: and Matt Flynn.
- 0:04Speaker 2: As Hester and Hester.
- 0:07Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
- 0:12Speaker 1: other on the air, control the live from the Mercedes
- 0:19Speaker 1: Benz Baton Rouge studio.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It's off the bench, all right.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Welcome back again, OTV one of four five ESPN Baton Rouge.
- 0:32Speaker 3: It is Tuesday morning. It is nine am, so you
- 0:36Speaker 3: know what that means. It is time now for our
- 0:38Speaker 3: guy Nick Underhill, New Orleans Dot Football.
- 0:40Speaker 4: Nick, what is up, sir? You doing doing fantastic?
- 0:45Speaker 3: I mean basically just like leading into L s U Baseball,
- 0:48Speaker 3: so that never gets to happen here for the morning show.
- 0:51Speaker 4: So we talked a lot of baseball, and.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Our number one told some old war stories in our
- 0:55Speaker 3: number two and now excited to talk some New Orleans
- 0:58Speaker 3: Saints with you because we just had a camp and
- 1:01Speaker 3: so I know that you know you've got a lot
- 1:03Speaker 3: of observations with the Saints, and so before we get
- 1:05Speaker 3: into the nitty gritty, maybe some of your biggest takeaways
- 1:08Speaker 3: from said camp.
- 1:11Speaker 5: I don't think they're gonna have the worst quarterback in
- 1:12Speaker 5: the league.
- 1:15Speaker 3: All right, let me go, boy, let's go maybe all right,
- 1:19Speaker 3: like it, that's an interview over that's it, drop it,
- 1:22Speaker 3: drop the mic.
- 1:24Speaker 5: I don't know what that means. I don't know from here,
- 1:27Speaker 5: but uh, like there feels like there's a baseline level
- 1:30Speaker 5: of confidence here that that it's gonna be like above,
- 1:33Speaker 5: like like maybe like the will leave this line. So yeah,
- 1:36Speaker 5: I mean that's the starting point, you know. I like
- 1:38Speaker 5: I like how how Shuck's improving. It seems like he
- 1:40Speaker 5: does get better at you know, every practice, every time
- 1:43Speaker 5: we go out there. It seems like there's some improvement.
- 1:44Speaker 5: And the fact that they're kind of running neck and
- 1:47Speaker 5: neck right now, I like that because it makes me
- 1:50Speaker 5: believe that maybe by the end of preseason game week one,
- 1:53Speaker 5: that you know, Shuck maybe maybe starts to create a
- 1:55Speaker 5: little bit of separation if he's improving the way he is.
- 1:58Speaker 5: But look, Rattler's a young guy, and he's actually younger.
- 2:02Speaker 5: I mean, he can go away and get better too,
- 2:04Speaker 5: So we'll see how it goes from here. But I
- 2:07Speaker 5: kind of like where they're at. I think last week
- 2:09Speaker 5: when I was on your we were talking about the
- 2:11Speaker 5: secondary and I mentioned that there weren't like many plays
- 2:13Speaker 5: being made those guys made some plays out there in
- 2:16Speaker 5: mini camp that was good to see. Made me feel
- 2:18Speaker 5: a little bit better about that. I thought Justin Reid
- 2:21Speaker 5: was maybe the most I don't know, splashy as player
- 2:25Speaker 5: over the two days. You know, just kind of the
- 2:27Speaker 5: way he moves these things, crashes down in the platts,
- 2:30Speaker 5: you know, this vision based defense. I think it's gonna
- 2:33Speaker 5: be really good for him and the way he plays.
- 2:35Speaker 5: So I think that's something that set out. And then
- 2:39Speaker 5: kool Ay met a couple of players in the red
- 2:40Speaker 5: zone period, which was something that that's really good to see.
- 2:42Speaker 5: I mean, I think he's he's highly important to just
- 2:45Speaker 5: the overall health of the franchise now and into the future.
- 2:48Speaker 5: So a couple of decent, little, you know, optimistic things
- 2:52Speaker 5: to hang on to heading into the off season.
- 2:55Speaker 6: Big. How's the when I look at offense, like trying
- 2:59Speaker 6: to we would always judge like how an offense is
- 3:02Speaker 6: doing in like an Ota mini camp early training camp
- 3:06Speaker 6: by kind of the rhythm like quarterbacks throwing on time,
- 3:08Speaker 6: but really like a completion percentage, you can't really judge
- 3:11Speaker 6: it based off big plays a lot touchdowns like throwing
- 3:15Speaker 6: during practice because you're not tracking yards a lot of
- 3:17Speaker 6: times in these training the defense is learning too, so
- 3:20Speaker 6: there's a lot of defensive mistakes as well that you
- 3:22Speaker 6: can take advantage of them, like the offensive play will
- 3:24Speaker 6: look better than it might have actually supposed to have been.
- 3:27Speaker 6: So ill look at like timing completion percentage. Is that
- 3:30Speaker 6: something that you tracked or noticed that I was like,
- 3:32Speaker 6: all right, these guys are getting the ball in and
- 3:34Speaker 6: out of their hands, are going through their reads quickly,
- 3:36Speaker 6: getting the check down, and also you tracking kind of
- 3:39Speaker 6: like that overall completion you know, maybe not exact percentage,
- 3:42Speaker 6: but kind of in your head like this guy's you know,
- 3:44Speaker 6: got four or five in a row and he's he's
- 3:46Speaker 6: doing it's looking smooth.
- 3:49Speaker 5: Oh no, we got exact everything we got on our website.
- 3:53Speaker 5: You can go look at the quadrants. Uh yeah. I
- 3:55Speaker 5: mean Rattler throws out I think with a little bit
- 3:57Speaker 5: more rhythm. I think that's kind of a big thing,
- 3:59Speaker 5: and I think it kind of shows up just over
- 4:01Speaker 5: the middle of the field too, like in that just
- 4:03Speaker 5: in rhythm up the seems attack of the middle, seeing
- 4:05Speaker 5: things quickly. I mean Rattler's kind of dressing up that
- 4:08Speaker 5: middle area of the field and shuck kind of more
- 4:11Speaker 5: he likes to roll out a little bit and there's
- 4:13Speaker 5: not as much over the middle, and I kind of
- 4:14Speaker 5: feel like that that was where I felt like Rattler
- 4:16Speaker 5: had the big advantage, and that was kind of where
- 4:19Speaker 5: I saw improvement with Shuck though over time. Like the
- 4:22Speaker 5: in the OTAs it felt like and when he was
- 4:24Speaker 5: rolling out, I felt like it was almost always to
- 4:26Speaker 5: the left, and it just felt like there was a
- 4:28Speaker 5: lot of that, and then in mini camp there's a
- 4:30Speaker 5: little bit more quicker stuff happening over the middle. But
- 4:33Speaker 5: Rattler forty five for fifty nine over the five practices
- 4:36Speaker 5: that we saw one pick, Shuck forty four for fifty nine,
- 4:39Speaker 5: one pick over over those same practices. So I mean
- 4:42Speaker 5: this thing is basically the same. Now Shuck has a
- 4:46Speaker 5: little bit more down the field. You know, zero at
- 4:50Speaker 5: the time left him right like he's really dressing that up.
- 4:53Speaker 5: But yeah, I thought I thought Spencer was better over
- 4:56Speaker 5: the middle. Shuck didn't complete a single patch between ten
- 4:59Speaker 5: to twenty yards over the midd Rattler had three. Kind
- 5:01Speaker 5: of attacking them seems a little bit so like just
- 5:03Speaker 5: kind of the way they're going at it is a
- 5:04Speaker 5: little bit different, and that's kind of seeing like when
- 5:07Speaker 5: he's seeing it fast and getting it out like that,
- 5:09Speaker 5: that's where I think he's he's really really good, you know. Interestingly,
- 5:15Speaker 5: one other thing is just the big takeaways. Second highest
- 5:19Speaker 5: targeted guys, second highest completions. Juwan Johnson on both of those,
- 5:24Speaker 5: right behind Rashid Hied nine nine catches on eleven targets.
- 5:28Speaker 5: I think that's a little bit of a reason for
- 5:29Speaker 5: optimism too. I mean, I'm kind of beyond the on
- 5:32Speaker 5: top potential thing with him, but I do think that
- 5:35Speaker 5: him and Derek Carr didn't necessarily gel coalesce the way
- 5:39Speaker 5: you would want to see him. And I think, you know,
- 5:42Speaker 5: after Carr got hurt last year, Juwan came to life
- 5:44Speaker 5: a little bit. Maybe there's that little bit of like,
- 5:47Speaker 5: you know, if he can give you four catches forty
- 5:49Speaker 5: yards every single week, I mean, I think that would
- 5:51Speaker 5: be a huge benefit of the offense. He was kind
- 5:53Speaker 5: of the guy that stood out the most to me,
- 5:56Speaker 5: and it was it was six targets from Rattler, five
- 6:00Speaker 5: from Shock pretty even split. So like it isn't like
- 6:02Speaker 5: he was benefiting from one guy over the other. Just
- 6:05Speaker 5: like a really consistent, you know, five days of practice
- 6:09Speaker 5: out of him, And I think that's the key with
- 6:11Speaker 5: him is just kind of fine and not consistency.
- 6:13Speaker 6: And Nick, let me tell you, like when you're when
- 6:15Speaker 6: you're evaluating quarterbacks in a practice situation and trying to like,
- 6:19Speaker 6: you know, who's looking better, who's looking smoother, it's not
- 6:21Speaker 6: always necessarily about completion percentage, although you definitely want it
- 6:24Speaker 6: to be high. It can be a red flag if
- 6:25Speaker 6: it's not. Yeah, what you've already talked about and discussed
- 6:29Speaker 6: about how what Spencer's doing and what Chuck is getting
- 6:32Speaker 6: to is the fastest way to the end zone is
- 6:35Speaker 6: over the middle. That is a quarterback's philosophy. That's a
- 6:38Speaker 6: that's a play callers philosophy. That's the fastest way to
- 6:41Speaker 6: get a ball into the end zone is over the middle.
- 6:43Speaker 6: So when you look, I always think quarterbacks are ahead,
- 6:46Speaker 6: at least mentally or like from a comfort level within
- 6:49Speaker 6: the offense is how they're attacking the middle of the field.
- 6:52Speaker 6: And especially what you just the intermediate intermediate linked routes.
- 6:56Speaker 6: If you have a guy that's consistently seeing it hidden
- 7:00Speaker 6: completing it, that is that's a huge it's a huge
- 7:04Speaker 6: green flag for me when I'm trying to evaluate a
- 7:07Speaker 6: quarterback is how how much he's taking advantage of that
- 7:10Speaker 6: metal And it's impossible for a young guy to do that,
- 7:12Speaker 6: So Shuck getting better at that. That's something to watch for,
- 7:16Speaker 6: is how's his completions over the middle going forward? And
- 7:19Speaker 6: I guess with that being said, you kind of answer
- 7:21Speaker 6: my question about who that number two receiver was coming.
- 7:24Speaker 6: But I guess I'll kind of flip it around. Say,
- 7:26Speaker 6: within this new offense with Kellen Moore, a big part
- 7:29Speaker 6: of throwing the ball over the middle is it could
- 7:32Speaker 6: be a tight end. How are they utilizing a tight end?
- 7:34Speaker 6: How's that position looking right now?
- 7:37Speaker 5: It's the biggest thing that stood out to me throughout
- 7:39Speaker 5: this Really it kind of felt empty going into it.
- 7:42Speaker 5: And I'm not, you know, declaring anything here. I'm not
- 7:46Speaker 5: ready to say they got that position answered or anything
- 7:48Speaker 5: like that. But those guys consistently down the chart. It
- 7:53Speaker 5: was the biggest surprise to anything. Jack Stoll, he was
- 7:56Speaker 5: someone that stood out a lot. They brought him in Philly.
- 8:00Speaker 5: Six targets, six catches, kind of a hand pick guy there,
- 8:03Speaker 5: I think, more of a blocker than a receiver. But
- 8:06Speaker 5: the fact that they kind of targeted on Broadimrey, you know,
- 8:09Speaker 5: said something. He stands out as a pretty decent little
- 8:12Speaker 5: summer here. These practices Trayton Welch, who I'm guessing nobody
- 8:16Speaker 5: who's listening to this has ever heard of them. Four catches,
- 8:19Speaker 5: four targets. He looked pretty good throughout. It might might
- 8:23Speaker 5: have ailed the rookie they drafted. He got targeted a lot,
- 8:26Speaker 5: five targets, only two catches. But I mean, you know,
- 8:28Speaker 5: they're getting the ball to these guys, and that does
- 8:31Speaker 5: look like a position that that maybe has a little
- 8:34Speaker 5: bit more potential, especially when poster Morosa on the sideline.
- 8:37Speaker 5: And again, he was something that really came to life
- 8:39Speaker 5: during the second half of the season last year after
- 8:42Speaker 5: all the receivers went down, So you know, maybe there's
- 8:44Speaker 5: a little bit there, maybe there's a mix. I think
- 8:46Speaker 5: it does come back to uh Juwan. I think there's
- 8:50Speaker 5: just so much about this offense that that they need
- 8:53Speaker 5: his presence, you know, just when you're playing with a
- 8:56Speaker 5: bunch of six foot guys, like at some point you
- 8:58Speaker 5: do need someone to make a contesting and maybe it
- 9:01Speaker 5: can be him. But yeah, I mean they're definitely getting
- 9:04Speaker 5: the ball of those guys, and I felt a little
- 9:06Speaker 5: bit hurt being just a little bit of production there.
- 9:09Speaker 5: And Welch is the one guy that kind of made
- 9:11Speaker 5: me out of like everybody. If I had to pick
- 9:13Speaker 5: a dark horse right now, I think maybe he's he's
- 9:15Speaker 5: at least in the mix. You know, he stood out,
- 9:18Speaker 5: he looked good. You know, I thought Michael Jacobson was
- 9:22Speaker 5: the guy that was gonna flash a little bit, because
- 9:23Speaker 5: that's kind of what he does every summer. But but
- 9:25Speaker 5: Welch was the guy that kind of caught my eye.
- 9:28Speaker 5: And you know, it happens enough times you're like, damn,
- 9:30Speaker 5: who's that guy? And you're looking up the number, and
- 9:33Speaker 5: you know, by the end of it, like that name
- 9:35Speaker 5: is stuck in your mind. So he definitely made an
- 9:37Speaker 5: impression on me.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Another position, certainly, Nick, we want to ask you about,
- 9:42Speaker 3: is the running back position. You make the move to
- 9:44Speaker 3: sign veteran Cam Akers and certainly somebody that's been in
- 9:48Speaker 3: the NFL for a long time. In the last couple
- 9:50Speaker 3: of years, he's kind of been a journey man, but
- 9:52Speaker 3: he's been somebody that's you know, been productive at times.
- 9:55Speaker 3: So what does him signing what the Saints mean for
- 9:58Speaker 3: the team, and also what's to mean for our guy
- 10:00Speaker 3: Clyde Edwards de Lair as well, like he was a
- 10:02Speaker 3: veteran running back on that team behind Ak, Like, how
- 10:05Speaker 3: do you kind of see maybe the pecking order of
- 10:07Speaker 3: the running back room now?
- 10:10Speaker 5: It's interesting, man, Like I don't, I don't. They either
- 10:12Speaker 5: have a ton of guys there, they have nothing behind
- 10:15Speaker 5: Alvin and it could really go either direction. You know,
- 10:20Speaker 5: this isn't These aren't really the practices to evaluate it.
- 10:22Speaker 5: They aren't. They aren't running the ball at all, no
- 10:24Speaker 5: offensive libman on the field, no D line. Like, you
- 10:26Speaker 5: can't really see anything there. Acres didn't do anything that
- 10:30Speaker 5: really caught my eye. Looks like he moved well. I
- 10:33Speaker 5: don't know what with that, you know means you know overall,
- 10:37Speaker 5: but it did. It didn't look like a guy was
- 10:39Speaker 5: coming off like a second Achilles injury. But how far
- 10:41Speaker 5: along is he actually in that? I can't really judge
- 10:44Speaker 5: that right now. There's a lot of guys in that
- 10:47Speaker 5: mix though, Like there's Velis Jones who who I think
- 10:49Speaker 5: moves well. Marcus Yarns, the undrafted rookie, he moves well,
- 10:54Speaker 5: like Xavian Ballade Uh, he had like twelve hundred yards
- 10:58Speaker 5: I think his last season in college UDFA last year.
- 11:01Speaker 5: He moves well and kind of pops a little bit.
- 11:04Speaker 5: You know, I'm still betting on Hendre Miller. When you
- 11:06Speaker 5: go out there and you look at the you know,
- 11:08Speaker 5: all the guys out there, he just visually looks like
- 11:11Speaker 5: the best athlete on a field of athletes, and you know,
- 11:14Speaker 5: if they could figure something out with him, maybe, you know,
- 11:17Speaker 5: Clyde obviously we said what he could do. You know,
- 11:21Speaker 5: I think past protection is gonna end up being a
- 11:23Speaker 5: big part of this, Like who can block? Oh, Devin
- 11:25Speaker 5: Neil too, Like he looks pretty good too, and he
- 11:27Speaker 5: gets involved in the passing game. So you know, my
- 11:30Speaker 5: top three right now, I think or Alvin Kendre and
- 11:33Speaker 5: Devin Neil if they go to four. You know, I
- 11:36Speaker 5: don't know which one I would pick right now. And
- 11:38Speaker 5: you know, maybe maybe it is a thing where they
- 11:41Speaker 5: carry three and they have these two veterans on the
- 11:43Speaker 5: practice squad and they end up being elevations early in
- 11:46Speaker 5: the season and then they eventually signed one to the
- 11:48Speaker 5: fifty three. That might be a way to cheat the
- 11:50Speaker 5: roster a little bit. You know, those are kind of
- 11:53Speaker 5: the guys that he can keep around and play that
- 11:56Speaker 5: game with. But yeah, I mean, I think that's gonna
- 11:58Speaker 5: be a really fascinating pump addition, and I'm eager to
- 12:01Speaker 5: see how it plays out because I the only guy
- 12:04Speaker 5: I know for sure like what he is is album
- 12:07Speaker 5: and the rest of them are kind of mysteries at
- 12:08Speaker 5: this point, and there could be a lot there and
- 12:11Speaker 5: like they were flashing, it is kind of the times
- 12:13Speaker 5: you want to see. But you know, I really think
- 12:16Speaker 5: it's going to come down to like who can block,
- 12:18Speaker 5: who can who can add that element of protection, because
- 12:21Speaker 5: you know, it isn't necessarily Alvin, He's not great at that.
- 12:24Speaker 5: It's not Kendre Miller unless he learns how to be
- 12:27Speaker 5: assignment sound, which has been a massive issue for him.
- 12:30Speaker 5: And I have no idea what Devin Neil can do there,
- 12:33Speaker 5: so you know, I think I think right now, but
- 12:38Speaker 5: something like I don't know, I know what Clyde can
- 12:40Speaker 5: do in that area, So so maybe he would be
- 12:41Speaker 5: the fourth guy on my list, you know, if you
- 12:44Speaker 5: go young guys potential Xavian Valide caught more than the
- 12:48Speaker 5: other guys, but I don't know, I don't know how
- 12:50Speaker 5: to gage your right now.
- 12:52Speaker 6: On the Saints line up. Game one, a preseason What
- 12:56Speaker 6: can fans expect when they're looking at I'm like, you
- 12:59Speaker 6: give you tough one here. What con fans expect when
- 13:02Speaker 6: they watch the offense? What kind of tempo has Kelimore brought?
- 13:06Speaker 6: Are we like a like a traditional huddle team, muddle huddle?
- 13:09Speaker 6: Do we work some tempo in practice? What do they
- 13:13Speaker 6: what's kind of the majority as far as a tempo,
- 13:15Speaker 6: how the offense is doing.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Yeah, that's one of the things that I think he
- 13:20Speaker 5: does really well. And it's a it's a good mix.
- 13:22Speaker 5: You know, they like to go one word turbo at
- 13:25Speaker 5: times and then you know they'll they'll kind of not huddle,
- 13:28Speaker 5: do like the little sugar huddle thing and and kind
- 13:30Speaker 5: of bury the speeds up. Like there's super fast tempo,
- 13:33Speaker 5: there's tempo, and then there's like a mid range. Like
- 13:36Speaker 5: I think they mix that stuff up really well and
- 13:39Speaker 5: just do a lot of things to kind of keep
- 13:40Speaker 5: the defense off bound so that they don't really ever
- 13:43Speaker 5: get a feel for it. And you know, going through
- 13:45Speaker 5: and watching Philly last year, that was one of the
- 13:47Speaker 5: things that that kind of really stood out to me
- 13:49Speaker 5: that that team, you know, brilliant and then talking to
- 13:51Speaker 5: him about it and the way they put things together
- 13:54Speaker 5: and the way they design some of this stuff, like
- 13:56Speaker 5: it is kind of I think his core ethos is
- 14:00Speaker 5: having just that that tempo that you can weaponize on defenses,
- 14:04Speaker 5: and you know, I think that's the thing that that
- 14:06Speaker 5: they do well. And you know, I'm excited to kind
- 14:10Speaker 5: of see how how that stuff plays out, you know,
- 14:14Speaker 5: and just just the way it all like kinda kind
- 14:17Speaker 5: of goes together. I don't know, like just just you know,
- 14:21Speaker 5: talking to him, like there was Sean Payton and then
- 14:23Speaker 5: there was this era in between, and now there's telling
- 14:25Speaker 5: more and it kind of feels like, you know, when
- 14:28Speaker 5: you're talking to people there there's just sure answers for
- 14:31Speaker 5: things again, and that at least gives you a little
- 14:33Speaker 5: bit of confidence in the idea of what they're doing.
- 14:36Speaker 5: And you know, I think it's very well put together,
- 14:38Speaker 5: and you know, I'm I'm I'm thinking that that's the
- 14:43Speaker 5: way that that they're gonna you know, Shine this season
- 14:45Speaker 5: is you got tempo stuff, and uh yeah, I think
- 14:49Speaker 5: he just has a really good tempo package.
- 14:52Speaker 4: All right.
- 14:52Speaker 3: What about the push push brotherly Shaw whatever you want
- 14:57Speaker 3: to call it. Are we going to see that in
- 15:00Speaker 3: the Superdome this year?
- 15:02Speaker 4: With the New Owns Saints.
- 15:04Speaker 5: You know, I think they should. I had no idea
- 15:06Speaker 5: how much time they put into that. They that was
- 15:10Speaker 5: something that Philly practiced twice every single day in their practice.
- 15:15Speaker 5: I watched nuth Smeyer talk at this coaching clinic and
- 15:17Speaker 5: like he just went through the whole process of like
- 15:20Speaker 5: how they install it and how much attention to detail
- 15:22Speaker 5: it demands. And I think that's the reason they're so
- 15:25Speaker 5: good at it and nobody else is is because it's
- 15:28Speaker 5: just something you have to be comfortable with, Like you're
- 15:30Speaker 5: lining up. Your stance under center is different, your center
- 15:32Speaker 5: stance is different. They it changes the mechanics of the staff,
- 15:35Speaker 5: and like they would go through it and their walk
- 15:38Speaker 5: through every single day, and then at practice when they
- 15:40Speaker 5: they you know, they got dressed and went out to
- 15:42Speaker 5: the actual field, they would practically again there and it
- 15:45Speaker 5: was just something they would just go over and over
- 15:47Speaker 5: and over. And yeah, I mean it takes an allocation
- 15:51Speaker 5: of resources and it's minutes every week, but if it's
- 15:54Speaker 5: a sure thing every you know, one yard to go, yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 5: I could see. I don't know who they would have
- 16:00Speaker 5: run it though, I mean I think that would be
- 16:02Speaker 5: kind of the interesting thing. Like I think shucked App
- 16:04Speaker 5: probably probably could. I don't know what Frattler could. You know,
- 16:08Speaker 5: obviously Taysam's right there, But you know, I don't know
- 16:10Speaker 5: what the smaller hands if in the ball security issues
- 16:13Speaker 5: we've seen throughout his career, if he's he's the right
- 16:15Speaker 5: candidate for it, I don't know. It's something though that
- 16:19Speaker 5: I think they should use. If you have an automatic play,
- 16:22Speaker 5: if you have the uh the uh you know, the
- 16:24Speaker 5: keys for how to run it, I think it would
- 16:26Speaker 5: be a shame if they didn't.
- 16:28Speaker 6: All right, Nick, here's your tough question today, Nick Underhill,
- 16:32Speaker 6: New Orleans Saints expert, who's the starting pitcher today for
- 16:37Speaker 6: the LSU Tigers?
- 16:39Speaker 5: I honestly could not tell you. I'm not up from
- 16:44Speaker 5: the up from the north man like college baseball wasn't
- 16:46Speaker 5: a thing. Uh and then like every time the college
- 16:50Speaker 5: World Series comes around, it's like, yamhn, this is happening
- 16:52Speaker 5: right now. I have I have not have no idea,
- 16:57Speaker 5: but uh, I don't know. Are they worth watching?
- 16:59Speaker 4: Was?
- 17:00Speaker 5: What's the deal?
- 17:01Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 17:04Speaker 3: Yeah, they are playing uh ten oh five. I believe
- 17:07Speaker 3: it's the first pitch because they got rained out last night. Nick,
- 17:10Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's early morning. Probably don't have
- 17:13Speaker 3: a lot going on just yet. So like I hustle
- 17:16Speaker 3: smells you U c l A all right, all right,
- 17:20Speaker 3: I'll check it out, all right, last week, he's not
- 17:22Speaker 3: gonna check anything out.
- 17:23Speaker 4: No, he's not.
- 17:25Speaker 5: All right.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Last thing before we let you go? Uh, do we
- 17:27Speaker 4: have a full back? Perhaps?
- 17:29Speaker 3: Maybe sort of kind of on the roster. What's it
- 17:33Speaker 3: looking like at the fullback position? The people want to know.
- 17:36Speaker 5: It's over man.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Nobody wants to know. Shoot, so it's over man? All right?
- 17:44Speaker 5: You guys be down to like six teams. I don't know, but.
- 17:48Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, we were down to last thing. I'll let
- 17:51Speaker 4: you go.
- 17:51Speaker 3: I remember talking to my agent and I was a
- 17:54Speaker 3: free agent and I had two offers. But he's like, hey,
- 17:57Speaker 3: like I know, it doesn't seem like a lot, but
- 18:00Speaker 3: right now, there's only eighteen teams that carry a fullback
- 18:03Speaker 3: out of thirty two and this is at twenty thirteen.
- 18:06Speaker 3: So he's like, two offers is really like seven or
- 18:08Speaker 3: eight for any other positions. I was like, okay, when
- 18:11Speaker 3: you break it down that way. So look that was
- 18:13Speaker 3: twelve years ago, Nick, So I get it.
- 18:15Speaker 4: It's okay. We had a run, Yes, it'll be bad.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Man, it's not looking good.
- 18:19Speaker 4: I'm sorry, h man. God that hurts.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Nick Underhill, New Orleans Dot Football joins us every single
- 18:25Speaker 3: Tuesday here on OTB.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Nick.
- 18:27Speaker 3: We appreciate the time as always and look forward to
- 18:29Speaker 3: next week.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Yeah, take you eat you guys.
- 18:34Speaker 4: We carry two. I know y'all did we did? We did.
- 18:38Speaker 4: I was there the way we did it.
- 18:42Speaker 3: So we had me and Mike Tolber were always up
- 18:46Speaker 3: because we could play both. And there was one game
- 18:50Speaker 3: and we got We got kind of cult with it
- 18:52Speaker 3: because I get why NORV did it. It was like
- 18:54Speaker 3: special teams guys and they can save a roster spot
- 18:56Speaker 3: because like there'd be games with me and Tolbert would
- 18:58Speaker 3: just rotate tailback like if we were four minute offense
- 19:01Speaker 3: trying to close out a game. But we were playing
- 19:05Speaker 3: in Denver one year and it was just me, Tolbert,
- 19:07Speaker 3: Ryan Matthews up.
- 19:09Speaker 4: Love.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Ryan Matthews was, I mean, built like a Greek god.
- 19:13Speaker 3: But he went through some injuries. So he went down
- 19:16Speaker 3: Tobert got knocked out, had a concussion. And I told
- 19:19Speaker 3: this story before, like I got knocked out. But Raydon
- 19:22Speaker 3: McMichael said, I'm not playing running back today. I haven't
- 19:25Speaker 3: done it since high school, and I'm not doing it
- 19:27Speaker 3: here in the NFL. He called a time out. Right,
- 19:30Speaker 3: one of those picked, the one in the middle, played
- 19:33Speaker 3: the second half of that game because I was the
- 19:35Speaker 3: only other running back that was up, the only one
- 19:37Speaker 3: left available. And don't remember a single play from the
- 19:41Speaker 3: second half.
- 19:42Speaker 6: We call that undiagnosed CT.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what, well, you know's what's wild.
- 19:49Speaker 3: I don't remember anything about it, but like I picked
- 19:53Speaker 3: up a backside corner cat in that game off like straight.
- 19:57Speaker 3: I guess muscle memory or something. Don't remember anything about it.
- 20:01Speaker 6: You're trying to go front side, but I just drew
- 20:04Speaker 6: accident backside.
- 20:06Speaker 4: I remember because I cut Champ Bailey and Chance.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Like like, you know, I ain't coming in here to
- 20:12Speaker 3: try to corner. Yeah, Champ so soft spoken, great guy.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Too big to be cutting. Hate getting cut, dude, I
- 20:22Speaker 4: don't know. I'm sorry. I know what city I'm in
- 20:25Speaker 4: right now.
- 20:27Speaker 6: They didn't put me through the protocol. Protocol No, I
- 20:30Speaker 6: mean they didn't bring me to the tent. No, there
- 20:32Speaker 6: was no tent. There was no beeping down to the
- 20:34Speaker 6: sideline either. I got hit by Joe Mays right in
- 20:37Speaker 6: like the side of the head. I ran a tall sweep,
- 20:40Speaker 6: picked up like eight yards, no big deal. But Joe
- 20:43Speaker 6: hit me like right here, because I watched the.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Replay and it's just like one of those he hits
- 20:47Speaker 3: you and you could just see the body go boop.
- 20:51Speaker 6: That's what it was. Sack of potatoes.

- 22:58Speaker 6: going to break it down. I'm not gonna break that down, definitely.
- 23:02Speaker 6: I am going to finally get around to telling everybody
- 23:06Speaker 6: what pissed me off out the Randalli yestra, All right,
- 23:11Speaker 6: I know, we all noticed it.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Yeah, he does have three lefties coming up when the
- 23:15Speaker 3: game resumed.
- 23:16Speaker 4: So we saw this hate that.
- 23:17Speaker 6: Information, We saw the coverage, we saw it on the
- 23:21Speaker 6: social media. The first couple of LSU was in attendance
- 23:27Speaker 6: last night. Now, I don't know how many days Paul
- 23:29Speaker 6: Skins has off.
- 23:31Speaker 4: He pitches every fifth day.
- 23:35Speaker 6: I don't know how many days Paul Skans has off,
- 23:38Speaker 6: But I find it hard to believe he's going to
- 23:42Speaker 6: get the least show up again today. I see what
- 23:46Speaker 6: you're saying. Yeah, so we had Paul Skans.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Now Paul can probably be doing whatever the hell Paul
- 23:50Speaker 3: wants to do, but probably understand what you're saying.
- 23:53Speaker 6: But it's kind of one of those deals where like, yeah,
- 23:56Speaker 6: you can head over there for a night, absolutely, go
- 23:58Speaker 6: enjoy the go enjoy LSU Tigers. Man, you're a legend.
- 24:01Speaker 6: Blah blah blah. The first couple they were there in attendance.
- 24:06Speaker 6: Now they did get to go and go to rocos
- 24:11Speaker 6: of the people. I'm sure they had about what, I
- 24:14Speaker 6: don't know how many how many bodyguards?
- 24:15Speaker 4: We think ye were off yesterday and then today they're
- 24:19Speaker 4: in Detroit.
- 24:20Speaker 6: Yes, I got he't gonna be there. I don't think
- 24:23Speaker 6: I'd be great if he was, but we really wanted
- 24:26Speaker 6: to get that w with those with those two in attendance,
- 24:28Speaker 6: a lot of bodyguards. He did update the jell O
- 24:31Speaker 6: shot counter.
- 24:32Speaker 4: He did. I saw that.
- 24:33Speaker 6: That's legit. Oh and by the way, I didn't do
- 24:36Speaker 6: this one. Yesterday Weekend loser was I don't know if
- 24:40Speaker 6: it was the NCAA or who it was, but LSU
- 24:43Speaker 6: had to release a statement saying they're aware of the
- 24:45Speaker 6: nil violations of Livy Dunn's jersey at the first game.
- 24:50Speaker 4: I think that's fake. Do you think so? I think so. Well,
- 24:58Speaker 4: apparently she got in trouble. Yeah, I think that was fake.
- 25:00Speaker 6: I think you got got that sounds like it. I
- 25:05Speaker 6: don't know.
- 25:06Speaker 4: That's all that.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Myself. I mean always in forever. I I forgot to
- 25:12Speaker 3: mention this one in Weekend Winners. I see a squirrel
- 25:15Speaker 3: running by. I got to say something about the squirrel
- 25:18Speaker 3: Weekend Winter for Clyde Edward D.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Lair.
- 25:23Speaker 4: So hold on, Jordan, I'm gonna get there. That's it.
- 25:27Speaker 3: So Clyde was somebody that when he was at LSU,
- 25:32Speaker 3: you know, different times, like he would come over the
- 25:34Speaker 3: house and hang out with the family cook dinner for him,
- 25:38Speaker 3: and you know, created a relationship not only you know,
- 25:41Speaker 3: with with me and Katie, but like with our kids
- 25:43Speaker 3: as well. And so once Clyde got drafted to the Chiefs,
- 25:49Speaker 3: it's when my son, Hudson was really picking out his
- 25:52Speaker 3: his favorite NFL team. Now Dad played for the rivals
- 25:58Speaker 3: of the Chiefs, the Chargers and the Broncos, so two
- 26:00Speaker 3: rivals of the team. But he remembers having good times
- 26:04Speaker 3: with Clyde when Clyde would come over, right, And so
- 26:07Speaker 3: he gets drafted and at the same time, the Honey
- 26:09Speaker 3: Badger was already there. And then he's like, and they
- 26:12Speaker 3: got my homes and they're winning, which helps. So Hudson
- 26:17Speaker 3: goes die hard Chiefs, I mean full on, just die
- 26:21Speaker 3: hard Chiefs.
- 26:23Speaker 4: He has a sign in his room over his bets,
- 26:25Speaker 4: his kingdom. Right. His room has like a bunch of
- 26:30Speaker 4: Chiefs stuff.
- 26:31Speaker 3: And red accents in it, and it's like it's chief themed, right,
- 26:34Speaker 3: And I'm like, at first, I'm like, I don't love that,
- 26:37Speaker 3: you know, that's the rival, And I was like, whatever,
- 26:39Speaker 3: I mean, he loves them.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Cool.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Memphis is a Panthers fan because of God knows why.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey Madden and he stuck with him. I appreciate
- 26:47Speaker 3: him sticking with him, but whatever, But chiefs okay in Clyde, Like,
- 26:51Speaker 3: I remember one time, so Hudson had got on Instagram
- 26:58Speaker 3: and he messaged Clyde like direct message Clyde, like talking
- 27:03Speaker 3: about good luck today in the game, and my man
- 27:04Speaker 3: Clyde hit him back like hoodie Paul or something I
- 27:08Speaker 3: guy or so like like that, right, and they've had
- 27:11Speaker 3: this relationship and uh, you know Clyde and I both
- 27:14Speaker 3: are part of Elite Training Academy, so just really good friends.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Do you know what Clyde got Hudson for his birthday
- 27:21Speaker 4: this year?
- 27:24Speaker 2: Probably something expensive?
- 27:26Speaker 3: A game Warn Clyde Edwards d Layer Chiefs Jersey with
- 27:30Speaker 3: a personal message on it and a game warn Tyreek
- 27:35Speaker 3: Hill Chiefs Jersey.
- 27:36Speaker 4: Whoa weekend winter Wow, Clyde Edwards.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Lair, you already have it framed up.
- 27:43Speaker 4: We just got him.
- 27:44Speaker 3: Were like Katie's already got like the display, like she's
- 27:48Speaker 3: gonna like a display. He's gonna put like his home
- 27:50Speaker 3: roun balls and medals and all that like on it
- 27:53Speaker 3: as well.
- 27:53Speaker 4: That's awesome.
- 27:54Speaker 3: But he did jersey swap so I after I guess
- 27:59Speaker 3: they're from the twenty twenty seasons. So we film and
- 28:01Speaker 3: Hudson comes in and he sees Katie filming and he's
- 28:04Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, like, mom, why are you
- 28:06Speaker 3: filming or whatever? He kind of looks around and like
- 28:08Speaker 3: his eyes locked to him. He gets frozen and totally
- 28:13Speaker 3: caught him off guard. But shout out to Clyde, man,
- 28:15Speaker 3: what what our gift? Something? Dad never like if I
- 28:20Speaker 3: brought my old twenty two Chargers jersey there, he'd be like,
- 28:23Speaker 3: what is this this going Jack's room?
- 28:25Speaker 4: What was doing in there?
- 28:27Speaker 2: But uh man, you said it was the twenty twenty jerseys.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Yea.
- 28:30Speaker 7: So it has like the little like NFL one hundred
- 28:34Speaker 7: year anniversary of little Emblement.
- 28:35Speaker 3: It's got like that chiefs uh in whatever anniversary.
- 28:39Speaker 6: Patrick was, Yeah, I know you being in the hobby
- 28:44Speaker 6: game now even better?
- 28:46Speaker 3: Well those are his and uh yeah, like Clyde a
- 28:51Speaker 3: very cool message on on the back of it so
- 28:54Speaker 3: we can win.
- 28:55Speaker 6: He shut up.
- 28:56Speaker 4: You know flinnn tried to bring the uh yeah, it's
- 28:58Speaker 4: got that patch right there there. You go.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Shout out to Tita if you're watching us, So, uh,
- 29:04Speaker 3: here's the cloude making the Saints roster.
- 29:08Speaker 4: What do you think?
- 29:10Speaker 3: Hmm, You sign Cam Akers, and so I think that's
- 29:13Speaker 3: gonna be like they're going to they're going to compete
- 29:16Speaker 3: for the veteran spot. I think it's gonna be a
- 29:18Speaker 3: veteran spot behind Ak. It's gonna go to one of
- 29:21Speaker 3: those two guys, and then it's gonna be a young
- 29:24Speaker 3: guy spot, right, so you're fighting multiple guys fighting for
- 29:27Speaker 3: that Kendre Neil, and then it's going to be a
- 29:31Speaker 3: potential special teamers spot for like if you got a
- 29:34Speaker 3: fourth running back like you sign you know, some pretty
- 29:37Speaker 3: talented undrafted free agents, and so there's there's a path.
- 29:41Speaker 3: But we see this happen all the time where you
- 29:44Speaker 3: bring in a veteran at your position. It's like, all right,
- 29:47Speaker 3: old guys, go battle it out. Let's see which one wins.
- 29:50Speaker 3: That's what it feels like. Neither one of those guys
- 29:53Speaker 3: is is gonna play special teams. That's just not who
- 29:55Speaker 3: they are, you know, that's not what they've done in
- 29:56Speaker 3: their career. They're gonna be in there for a veteran
- 29:59Speaker 3: presence in the meeting rooms, probably some third down stuff.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Ak is not great at pass protection. He's just not
- 30:06Speaker 3: I mean, he's a hell of a running back, but
- 30:07Speaker 3: it's just it's probably the thing he's weakest. That so
- 30:10Speaker 3: when he's in there, it's a lot of free release
- 30:12Speaker 3: screens to him or one side checking get out.
- 30:16Speaker 6: You know, when Kim gets into a game, when he
- 30:19Speaker 6: gets his pissop man, he's electric.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he brings.
- 30:23Speaker 8: He's probably he's probably Achilles and both, right, I mean
- 30:27Speaker 8: that's that's both.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:29Speaker 8: So he was his first one in twenty one was
- 30:31Speaker 8: the left. The one he tore in twenty twenty three
- 30:33Speaker 8: was his right. So I think they're probably battling it out.
- 30:38Speaker 8: Like Jake said, I think Devin Neil makes it. I
- 30:40Speaker 8: think he's your your rookie. I don't know if k
- 30:43Speaker 8: and Dre Miller makes this team. Because if you want
- 30:46Speaker 8: a special teams guy, a young guy to keep, you
- 30:48Speaker 8: can grab a Marcus Yarns on the practice squad. And
- 30:52Speaker 8: that's an undrafted guy. He's gonna want to play special teams.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Oh yeah's you better be a core for war Daddy
- 30:59Speaker 3: yet free agent rookie at running back, Hell, you better
- 31:03Speaker 3: be one.
- 31:03Speaker 4: If your third round picking running back, believe.
- 31:06Speaker 2: You me, it's gonna be tough man. It's gonna, it's
- 31:09Speaker 2: a it's gonna it's a battle.
- 31:12Speaker 3: They signed, right, they sign him back this year after
- 31:15Speaker 3: last year he showed them something that had them intrigued.
- 31:19Speaker 6: So it's just a I mean, everybody's in a brand
- 31:21Speaker 6: new offense, So I mean, which one of those guys
- 31:24Speaker 6: is gonna fit the best and be that trustworthy guy
- 31:27Speaker 6: that you can insert in there. It's gonna give you
- 31:30Speaker 6: the best opportunity in past protection, check downs, and and
- 31:33Speaker 6: who can help out a young quarterback the best? Because
- 31:36Speaker 6: a running back so important at helping out young quarterbacks.
- 31:40Speaker 4: Yep, so important without question. Man.
- 31:43Speaker 3: It like I never played with a with a in
- 31:46Speaker 3: a game with a young quarterback, but certainly in the preseason.
- 31:49Speaker 3: I remember being in there with Scott Tolzencoots, you know,
- 31:54Speaker 3: guys like that, and it's like the show you're trying
- 31:57Speaker 3: to help those guys out. Uh, Brock Oswiller this guy
- 32:00Speaker 3: like I remember being in Denver being there with Brock
- 32:02Speaker 3: and he get flustered a little bit and be like, hey, Brock,
- 32:06Speaker 3: I'm not settled down, but we're good.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Call to play. Let's get him to the line of scrimmage.

- 34:33Speaker 6: They talking anything in Evans gonna get the nod. But
- 34:37Speaker 6: nothing's official, right.
- 34:38Speaker 8: No, I mean nothing has been announced.
- 34:41Speaker 6: There's there's rumblings, as rumblings. Welcome back, Esther, We're killing it.
- 34:47Speaker 4: We are killing it.
- 34:50Speaker 2: What we do, man, profest we do man.
- 34:52Speaker 3: I do actually love this game of you know, trying
- 34:55Speaker 3: to figure it out. Reach out to sources.
- 34:59Speaker 6: How's it going?
- 35:00Speaker 3: I kept my brother send me pictures of Case and
- 35:02Speaker 3: Evans throwing to Hernandez.
- 35:03Speaker 4: That obviously means he must be going. Taylor is oh yeah, definitely.
- 35:08Speaker 6: I just don't like it.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Taylor is red hot.
- 35:10Speaker 8: Even if you win this game, I don't like Case.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Evans going today.
- 35:15Speaker 8: Give us your reason, yeah, because you're not gonna throw
- 35:19Speaker 8: Kate Anderson again until obviously if you make it to
- 35:21Speaker 8: the Championship series.
- 35:22Speaker 4: Now you have like Anthony Jinsen can't come back, Yeah.
- 35:26Speaker 8: Forty four pitches yesterday, so he could come like probably
- 35:29Speaker 8: relief effort Thursday, maybe if it came to that. I
- 35:33Speaker 8: just look at it like best case scenario, Case and
- 35:35Speaker 8: Evans goes out there, you win the game. You do
- 35:38Speaker 8: not have caseon Evans, you do not have Kate Anderson,
- 35:41Speaker 8: you don't have Anthony Jansen in a starting role, and
- 35:44Speaker 8: you potentially have to play two games if you lose
- 35:46Speaker 8: tomorrow about all three of those guys, Like, I get it,
- 35:49Speaker 8: you want to win today. This game is not a
- 35:52Speaker 8: must win like you want to win it. I would
- 35:54Speaker 8: rather hold case and Evans either tomorrow and close it out,
- 35:57Speaker 8: or if you lose this game, play them tonight and
- 36:00Speaker 8: get there again. Like I don't, don't. I don't want
- 36:01Speaker 8: to throw case in Evans today, especially getting spotted. I mean,
- 36:06Speaker 8: you're up to, you're up to you.
- 36:08Speaker 6: Need six innings, right, can you?
- 36:10Speaker 8: Can you find two good solid arms that can get
- 36:12Speaker 8: you three innings a piece?
- 36:13Speaker 3: So I think Andrew Rydell's where I saw this on
- 36:17Speaker 3: X he said, Zach Cowan and Jay Johnson had a
- 36:20Speaker 3: combo Maverick Rizzy is throwing with a backup catcher. Jay
- 36:24Speaker 3: Newt is still stretching and is one of the only
- 36:26Speaker 3: pitchers I haven't seen throw yet, so I think we
- 36:29Speaker 3: will be seeing Newt first.
- 36:32Speaker 4: It's like so funny, man, It's.
- 36:34Speaker 3: Like the mind games of what goes into and all
- 36:37Speaker 3: the speculation of what goes into and then like the
- 36:40Speaker 3: tweet right above that is from Coco Riley where Cochie
- 36:43Speaker 3: Riley says Cason Evans is throwing with Luis Hernandez.
- 36:48Speaker 6: Seems like a sign, right, how many? How many pictures
- 36:56Speaker 6: do you have to throw to be burned? For I
- 36:58Speaker 6: mean burn for there's multiple things you burned for a
- 37:02Speaker 6: couple of days, but I mean there's multiple times where
- 37:04Speaker 6: relievers will come in in a situation the next day
- 37:07Speaker 6: for an inn.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Sure, right, for sure, Like what is that pitch?
- 37:10Speaker 6: Like, let's just say case Evans does start, you know,
- 37:12Speaker 6: I guess we don't know the game point.
- 37:13Speaker 3: What if he goes to in case Evans is starting,
- 37:15Speaker 3: like I if you burn him and like he is
- 37:20Speaker 3: going to go for as long as he possibly can
- 37:22Speaker 3: today we'll be about yes, like you don't use him
- 37:25Speaker 3: for an inning or two innings even today. Like depending
- 37:28Speaker 3: on who the picture was, that was going to kind
- 37:31Speaker 3: of dictate how long that picture went in the game, right,
- 37:34Speaker 3: if it was somebody that is normal reliever out of
- 37:36Speaker 3: the bullpens, like all right, let's try to get two
- 37:38Speaker 3: ings at him. If you went with caseon Evans, it
- 37:42Speaker 3: was going to be let's see how long he can go.
- 37:45Speaker 3: Jay Newton is probably the same ballpark of what the
- 37:50Speaker 3: expectation would be as well, Maverick Grizzy came in, let's
- 37:55Speaker 3: get through one inning, you know, So it depends on
- 37:57Speaker 3: who came in and how many pitches they threw and
- 37:59Speaker 3: what the player and what was going into it.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Yeah, we're I mean.
- 38:04Speaker 6: The picture, the rotation hal Jay is going to handle,
- 38:07Speaker 6: that is the that is the big debate because that's
- 38:09Speaker 6: the clearly I know. But the one thing that is
- 38:11Speaker 6: not unknown. Go put ten plus on them, right, I mean,
- 38:16Speaker 6: let's let's squash all the you know what if this?
- 38:19Speaker 4: What if that?
- 38:20Speaker 6: Get the bats hot and keep them hot, build that confidence.
- 38:25Speaker 6: Let's go cheer on Bear, make sure that bats stays hot.
- 38:32Speaker 3: You do have to, like it's the obvious statement, but
- 38:37Speaker 3: you got to win this one to give yourself some
- 38:39Speaker 3: breathing room. So if you decide to air quotes burn
- 38:45Speaker 3: Case and Evans, is because you realize the magnitude of
- 38:48Speaker 3: this game. And if you lose this game, you got
- 38:51Speaker 3: to play another one today. You lose that one, you're
- 38:53Speaker 3: at the house, right, Yeah, you've got fish if you lose.
- 38:59Speaker 8: That's the argument for casing, right, Like, if you throw
- 39:01Speaker 8: Case at Evans today and you win today, whoever wins
- 39:04Speaker 8: the game tonight has to beat you twice in two days.
- 39:07Speaker 8: You win one of those two year at the championship. So,
- 39:10Speaker 8: I mean there's there's positives and negatives. I just think
- 39:13Speaker 8: you can win this game without case, it evans.
- 39:16Speaker 3: Like Flynn, regardless of who it is, when it is,
- 39:19Speaker 3: whatever situation is, go win the damn game. Dingers stay
- 39:22Speaker 3: in the wind the Ingers bracket, allow UCLA to go
- 39:25Speaker 3: take on Arkansas later and don't even worry about it.
- 39:29Speaker 3: Go score some runs. Support whoever's out there on the mound.
- 39:33Speaker 3: There's a lot of different options. There's probably gonna be
- 39:35Speaker 3: multiple guys. You win this one, though, then you'll figure
- 39:39Speaker 3: out everything at the back end of it. So it
- 39:42Speaker 3: does sound like that is what Jay Johnson is trying
- 39:44Speaker 3: to do. You gotta win this one to give yourself
- 39:47Speaker 3: the breathing room that you're looking for.
- 39:49Speaker 6: How are you taking in the game?
- 39:51Speaker 3: I was literally like as we're talking about it, like,
- 39:54Speaker 3: oh what am I doing?
- 39:55Speaker 4: What am I doing for this thing?
- 39:56Speaker 3: It's like it's gonna be on like this is such
- 39:59Speaker 3: foreign territory for us on the morning show. Like every
- 40:02Speaker 3: once in a while, like during the World Cup, we'll
- 40:04Speaker 3: get a game and we'll stay in here for a
- 40:06Speaker 3: little bit, we'll watch it n CUAA tournament will get
- 40:09Speaker 3: some like it's not a lot of times that we
- 40:11Speaker 3: get to watch our team here after this show.
- 40:14Speaker 4: So I really don't even know. I'll be honest with you.
- 40:17Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna go over to the office, put
- 40:19Speaker 6: it onto the office, act like I'm answering some emails
- 40:23Speaker 6: and doing the high office.
- 40:25Speaker 4: I got.
- 40:26Speaker 3: We've got multiple offices, big office guy.
- 40:30Speaker 4: We would put our desks together, we'd have our office here. Bo.
- 40:36Speaker 2: It's funny because I know Bo listening to That's.
- 40:39Speaker 4: What I say.
- 40:41Speaker 3: All right, we will step away for the final time,
- 40:44Speaker 3: and when we come back, we'll finish it like we
- 40:47Speaker 3: do every single day. Getting to your questions, ask the
- 40:50Speaker 3: bench inside to buy you Ford huddle right here top
- 40:53Speaker 3: the bench, Matthew Clayton Flynn. Do you think some do
- 40:59Speaker 3: Skis were it down last night?
- 41:00Speaker 6: I think a lot of do sekis they probably like
- 41:05Speaker 6: that is a Tommy Maffa used to tell us, don't
- 41:08Speaker 6: try to drink every beer and baton rouge because they'll
- 41:10Speaker 6: make more. I guarantee you lsu fans try to drink
- 41:14Speaker 6: all the Yeah, they were.

- 41:24Speaker 3: refreshing do sequis. Will hear of the dog situation and
- 41:28Speaker 3: probably in the stands, probably outside of the game as well.
- 41:32Speaker 3: I mean, is there a better tailgating beer than do skis.
- 41:35Speaker 4: They're a better in game beer than do morning beer.

- 44:37Speaker 2: and V road trip or baby.
- 44:39Speaker 4: I'd like a boat.
- 44:40Speaker 3: But a boat's kind of like a pool, like it's
- 44:42Speaker 3: very enjoyable, but it comes with its you know what
- 44:45Speaker 3: I mean. You got to make sure you maintain it. Yeah,
- 44:47Speaker 3: you gotta stay on top of your stuff, right.
- 44:49Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like what I've heard.
- 44:52Speaker 4: I don't at the most fun a boat for sure.
- 44:54Speaker 8: Yeah, just thinking what I would personally use the most
- 44:57Speaker 8: would be a good.
- 44:58Speaker 6: I guess I'm gonna go with a TV because I
- 44:59Speaker 6: don't I don't think my wife wants to take an
- 45:01Speaker 6: RV trip or not. Like I don't know if I
- 45:04Speaker 6: do too. I love like having the convenience of a
- 45:07Speaker 6: toilet on a road trip. Just right there. We've rented
- 45:11Speaker 6: like a like an RV like band situation, and it's
- 45:14Speaker 6: like with the kids, it's awesome to have the bathroom
- 45:16Speaker 6: there on a road trip. I'm gonna go to a TV.
- 45:20Speaker 6: Get me to my hunting spot, adish and spot all right.
