• 2:14
  Speaker 4: This help was, right, Well, you know, we hate gators
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: here on this show. I don't think we tried to
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: hide that. So the fact that we let them on
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the show, it was a big deal. That's how good
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: they are, Nick, because well, we hate all forms of

  Speaker 3: Ready for training camp.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Final countdown here with today fifteen days away, camp's coming.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I'm excited, man, I can't wait to see what this
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: team is going to be. First time in a very
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: long time that I think there's genuine excitement going into
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a season.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: We had like the fake excitement I.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Think with the beginning of the Derek Carr era and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: then you remembered, you know, that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Was what it was.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But I think this time, Yeah, what happens, don't know.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I think this time is treril. I think this time
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is treril. I think there's there's real excitement this time.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: So we were looking at the schedule and one of
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: the things, at least for me, I don't want to
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: speak for Matt, that I would always look at whenever
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: we got our schedule was Okay, which divisions are we
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: going to play? Like, we know we're playing our division,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: but what are we going to get in the NFC
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and the AFC and the Saints are going to have
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: the North, the AFC NFC North, And we were taking
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: a look at, you know, maybe some of the different games,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: and for me, like the NFC North is what it is, like,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: We're not going to sugarcoat it. Every team had a
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: winning record. It's going to be very tough for the Saints. Now.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: The AFC North on the other side of it, a
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: lot of unknown new coaches everywhere but Cincinnati. So when
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: you take a look at that for this Saints team,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I almost feel like if you split with the NFC North,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: that could be you getting to nine wins if you
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: did just that, because I think you're going to have
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: some success against the AFC North.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think the way that sets up
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: too is discuss Look, I think one of the big
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: differences between this team and previous editions of the team
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is when you look at the schedule this year, like,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I think the way it starts out is really tough
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Detroit and then Baltimore like very very likely, very possible
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that they end up oh and two to start. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: think this team two years ago, I mean you remember
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: how they started that season. They were so strong, they
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: came out the gates the first two games.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: It was unbelievable.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They were scoring points at a rate where you had
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to compare them to the two thousand and seven Patriots
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to find like a comp and that was like the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: best offense at all time. How they started that season
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and then they lose a couple of games when they
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: fall apart, and they just weren't mentally tough and it
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: was like here we go again, attitude, and they were
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: kind of just waiting the whole time for things to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: fall apart. I think this team's built in a way
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: where they can endure it oh and two start, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I think they're young and dumb in all the right
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: ways to where they can go through that maintain positivity
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and find their way back. So I think the build
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of the team's important. Yeah, the NFC North definitely definitely
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: tough to AFC is going to be determined by a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: lot of factors. I mean, you're playing the Bengals and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: what November I mean is Burrow gonna be on the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: field at that point, Like that's that's a question every
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: year for them. That could be a really tough game
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: or it could be, you know, a gimme, depending on
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: how that kind of sets up. So yeah, there's a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: lot of factors there. But the schedule overall, like you
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: look at it the average strength of opponent and this
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: is always a BS stat because it changes every year
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: from beginning of the season to the end. But like,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a murderer's row or anything. I
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: just think the way some of these things are set
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: up are a little bit tough. Like there's no longer
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: road trips in the back half. I think the start's tough.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's weird you play two games and then you're three
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: at home, and then you're in New York, and then
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: straight from New York you're going to Paris. Like that
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: could end up being a tough swing where maybe you
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: aren't looking at the Giants and Steelers on paper, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: then coming back you got to buy. And then I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: think the Browns after that that doesn't look like a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: tough stretch, but like that New York to Paris wing
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: could be weird for them too, So I.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Think this team has not away games too. Right after that, Yeah, I.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Think it seem has like the mental fortitude to get
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: through some tough stuff and figure it out, especially in
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the back half. I think it kind of opens up
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a little bit if you just look at opponents. But yeah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I think I think it's Yeah. I mean, there's gonna
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: be some challenges there for sure, with with with the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the the the Norths, but yeah, if they can find
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: their way through it, I think I think they'll be.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, young and dumb in all the right ways. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: like that. That's very good. Yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, so not broke to and not like the song,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: They're not broke.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, no doubt colledge. Okay.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: So I was gonna ask a question, but you got
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: me piak of interest right there with what you're talking about.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: So they got the middle.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: You think they got the mental fortitude to withstand a
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: tough part of the schedule with saying early losses, why
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: do you think that.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, we saw it last year. They started out
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: one way and found their way back. But in the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: locker room, look, this is a it's a very kumbai
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: al locker room, like more so than any I've ever
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: seen in my life last year. I've been covering the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: league since twenty ten, and you know it's guys sit
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: around singing two thousands R and B songs like Mario
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and you know, just in the back.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Corner that they really good time.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like like just stuff like that. Man, like they
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: they they just felt more together than I've ever seen
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a team in bad times too, which you know you
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: can fake that stuff. I think everybody. I think culture
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: is like the biggest lie in sports. And you guys
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: can correct me on that, but I think every team
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that's good has good culture, and every team that's bad.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Not every team, but most teams that are bad have
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: bad culture. I think there's assholes that are great teammates
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: when the team's good, and as soon as things turn bad,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: they become the most toxic people in the world. So
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I think winning hides a lot of stuff and I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: think you actually saw a good culture poking through at
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a time where this team was really bad and they
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: were still still together, still having fine. There wasn't finger pointing,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you know, for someone in my position, there isn't a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the twelve thirty am text from a grumpy player on
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you know, Sunday night after a loss, like you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: trying to air people out and stuff like that. I mean,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: they're just none of that was happening. So I just
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I think that they're positive enough right now. And I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: think a lot of that comes from Kellam Moore. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: think a lot of times teams are built in the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: image of the coach and like he's a very positive, happy,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: go lucky type of person, and I think the team
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: kind of took on his personality. Now, how much mileage
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: do you get out of that, that's, you know, debatable obviously.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I think it maybe it even changes this year because
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: there's there's some level of expectation of at least a
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: march towards success, if not success itself. But I just
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: think we saw things last year that felt unfakable that
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: make me believe that they could drop to and kind
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of be in there. And like I said, We've been
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: around teams that have lost a couple of games in
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: a row when they had every reason to believe and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: it just quickly fell apart.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Now, what are the other things that we were talking
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: about with this team like this year compared to the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: team you're talking about last year. If we're looking offensively,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I think they're better at receiver, tied end, offensive line, quarterback,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: and running back. Like I truly believe that they've added
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: added pieces to every one of those rooms. Now the
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: quarterback room they've added, But it's more about the development
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: another year for Tyler Schuck after those eight games, But
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I don't really know how you could argue against it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, now, defensively, it's a little bit of a
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: different subject. I mean, you lost some dbs that you
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: didn't really replace, and Kate Nelis is a different player
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: than to Mario Davis. But offensively, they feel like they
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: are going to be better on every single level.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Totally agree on not like there's no way that the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: offense can't be better. You had a top ten receiver,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: you had two tight ends, you add David Edwards to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the mesh. Fag and Banks got another year of seasoning
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and growth, especially Banks getting the you know, the the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: year or two typically you see people get.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Better in that area.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Shuck should be better. I think Aham makes a huge
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: difference at running back. The thing on offense is just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you know, Tyler got sacked thirty one times and played
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: nine games like that number has to change drastically, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they often to bone I think helps with that. Red
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: zone's got to be way better. That was something that
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: was terrible. And then those first drives. I don't know
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: what the answer is there. That was the weirdest thing
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: really ever like that that they just couldn't score points.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I think with Shucks starting to average one point one
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: points per opening drive, like that's got to change too.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: But I think all those things kind of kind of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: take care of themselves. I think red zone gets better
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: with better weapons. He was getting the red zone at Louisville,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: so I don't think that's like a fatal flaw on him.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: The defense, I don't know. I've been looking at this
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: team for like in a parked position, for so long
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: that I think I've talked myself into believing that the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: defense is going to be better and good, which is
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: kind of what you you start out. You just kind of.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know, things go away over time. We're about
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to find out. I think there's reasons to worry and
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: there's reasons not to. I just man, it's just such
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: a huge question in the secondary. Like we don't know
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: anything about Snacker in the slot. Yeah, this week, like
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I went back over and looked at like he had
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty eight snaps. I think at Virginia
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: in the slot through and I watched all of them,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and there's some stuff to feel good about and there's some.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Stuff to feel bad about.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: So I think that's going to determine a lot on
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the team. I've kind of talked myself into a position
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: where I think adding Ellis gives you things and maybe
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it ends up being a wash this year, But that
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: might be like a stupid point of view because Tomiro
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: is such a good player. But yeah, I think the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: offense is gonna be way better. And if they're if
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: they're winning nine games that they're taking care of the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: NFC North, it's gonna because they're scoring, you know, thirty
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: points a game and you know, positions like that. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the defense just has to be okay. Staley has to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: coach at the level he did last year. He got
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: way more out of him than he should have. And yeah,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: but I think the offense is absolutely level up. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: look Bill Barnwell from ESPN, like he hates like he's
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: not a Saints homer, Like he hates the Saints like
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: he racked them in the top ten like offensive weapons
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. So you know, a guy that's been
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: down on this team during like the breeze era, it
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: like feels like they got.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Good weapons right now.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I think they're in a I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: think they're in a spot to get better on offense.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Nick, what's more likely to happen this year? The Saints
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: have six wins or six losses.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I don't see them having less than six losses in
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: any scenario. Like, I think, like that would be eleven wins,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: I mean six eleven, which one is more likely?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Probably six and eleven because I mean I just think
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the injuries and and like that's just such a huge jump, Dad,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: five wins to a team like that, that would be
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit rose colored there. Yeah, I think I
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: think six and eleven is more likely because a couple
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: like if what what would happen? If Chase Young miss games,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: where are you getting your past rush for them? Like
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: if kool Aid misses a couple of games, like I
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: think you're you're cooked there. If Kate Ellis misses a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: couple of games, I think you're cooked there. I think
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: their secondaries built quite a bit on the idea of
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: like I guess Sanker could drop back, but like Julian Blackman,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you got a bet on him probably getting hurt at
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: some point, and then what happens there, Like does Jordan
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Houten go in? I think that would be a step
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: down to Sanker move back. Now you're upset and kind
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: of your your your your your secondary configuration as a whole,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it's just so thin in so many places. I think offensively,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: like they're built to endure some injuries. I think they
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: got off offensive lineman six and you know, maybe even
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: seven on that group, which you get down to you know, your.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Wide receivers or injury proNT.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So there's just too many ways that I think it
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: can It could go wrong this year. So if I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: had to pick eleven wins or sick or eleven losses,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I probably I probably leaned towards the losses.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: At this point.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Now, there's some places where the Saints on the deepened
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: the side of the football is we're talking about, they
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: could be better. Now you have what about six million
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: dollars in salary cap space. There's some interesting free agents
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: still out there, certainly at corner. There's some veteran players,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: some that have played for you before, but they're out
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: there right now. But you don't have a ton of
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: money to spend with kind of all those things being known,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: do you think this Saints' roster is kind of what
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: it is at this point? Do you expect maybe three
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: four days into camp they could add a corner, they
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: could add a safety, a veteran player to those units
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: if they don't see what they want to see early
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: in camp.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I think like what they are is what they are
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: at this point. There's always some guys coming in, but
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think it would be anybody that you're looking
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: at to.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Change your fortunes or anything like that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Like it could be, you know, there's always a name
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: brand guy like midway through camp, like oh, keme next,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: but it's like you're four years too late.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: There's always that type of type of movement there or uh,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think Marshawan comes back, man, I think it
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: kind of Uh, I don't think that ended well.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think it ended well. Yeah, I think I
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: think they're kind of sat.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Where they're at, Like and I don't even know where
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you would go spend money to make a major difference,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: like if you at a corner, Like it's probably like
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: a Nike Adam type level player.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I know, like Keenan Allen's name was.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Floated around out there, but I don't know how the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Saints makes sense for Keenan Allen, Like it just doesn't.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know where he would get his snaps. Like
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: it just kind of feels like they're there's set at
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: those spots, and you where you're at on this trajectory,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you probably want to go forward with Vele and try
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: to be younger. I think he showed you enough to
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: where you aren't trying to get like an older guy
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: that maybe gives you similar level of play. So yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I think they're kind of I think they're kind of
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: set where they're at. You know, they'll turn the bottom
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: of the roster, and they've been aggressive about doing that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: It's been kind of crazy to watch, like how often
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: like they're rotating them wide receivers and and different stuff.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Like they're definitely not resting on their laurels. But I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: don't see a big move or anything that kind of,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: you know, moves the needle big time. I don't think
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you guys are getting the lead topic off their free
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: agency moves or anything like that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Nick.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's your job to create stories and follow
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: stories and to report what you see and stats and
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: all this stuff. And you're about to be in the
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: thickest things in training camp, and there's going to be
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: some downtime. There's may some lowell times that uh, you're
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: gonna have to have to make some stories.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: And but I want to educate our listeners. That's what
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: we like to do.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Which types of storylines do listeners need to be careful
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: of believing during training camps?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I mean really anything like the first five to seven days,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: like it's all like there's so much energy and there's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: so much attention on everything, and it's just it's just
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: easy to overhype everything early in camp. The main thing
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: to not pay attention to, I think is like, oh,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: so Homoso is in like such good shape, such a
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: live like every single time there's five years of stories
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: about andrewt Pete like being in great shape, and there's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: just always like something You go out there and yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: guys look different, but then you remember that, you go
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: through training camp and by you know, September twentieth, like
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: everybody's body is back to where it is because you
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: aren't doing all the same work and everything. So like
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, I always try to ignore, you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: someone making a push ear lay in camp. Oh, Mason
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Mason Tiptons made like some huge plays or whatever, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: you know, you kind of get through it and then Okay,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: guys kind of settle back to where they were at.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I just think, I just think there's a real danger
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: of everything getting over hyped, you know, this this time
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: of year, and it's hard not to do it because
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: you go out there and you're writing about day one
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and training camp. So you're just writing about day one
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and training camp without the context of like the next
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: eighteen days of training camp, and there's just there's so
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: much attention and so much appetite for it that everything
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: gets overblown. You know, the the quarterback is gonna get
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: way over hyped the first couple of days of camp
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: if he goes ten for eleven and seven on seven's
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: like someone's gonna, you know, tweet that and it's gonna
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: get retweeted three hundred and fifty times, and you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: shucks winning the MVP and they're gonna win the super
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Bowl and then you know, it settles back down over
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a period of time, Like it's just anything with a
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: small sample is ridiculous.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, I think.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: The year two leap stories are always overblown early on
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: in camp, like it's just anything that has hype behind it.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, an if I'm telling the truth,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: like I think by like day fifteen a camp, like
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: you're kind of figuring things out about the unknowing parts
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: of it, and a lot of it's guessing it really is.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of guesswork. And I think this time
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: of year your prone looked through things through a lens
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: of optimism as opposed to a lens of pessimism. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I think anything that's a coin flip two kind of
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: gets pushed like one direction over the other.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: All right, last one before we let you go, Nick
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Underhill course our guests every single Tuesday here on OTB,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: I'm not like asking you to give me the breakout
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: star because I agree with the conversation that we just had,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Like sometimes we overhype those guys like no offense to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Mason Tipton, but I've heard his name more than any
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Saints player on the roster over the last couple of years.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: But it is there a player right now that maybe
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: is flying under the radar as far as like the
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: national coverage or even local coverage that you know, without
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: a shadow of a doubt that the team really thinks
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: this player can help them in a big way.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one guy that probably hasn't gotten talked
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: about a lot and does have at least a little
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: bit of real production and real highlights, some real real
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: NFL numbers that I don't think we talk about it
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: As Trey Palmer, I think.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: He has a real I think he has a real
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: shot at making the wide receiver thing interesting. Like Jayleen
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Polk is there and Jayalen Polk's gotten talked about more,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and I think I probably put him ahead right now.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: But Palmer, like he once he finally got out there,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: he was hurt like early on during the summer. Then
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: he gets out there and he reminds you like why
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: he's a a NFL player, why he's talented, why the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Saints claimed him off waivers. I think that battle, like
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: not just for roster spots, but I think for wide
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: receiver like three, like whoever gets the third most snaps
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I think is a real thing. Like I think between Bailey, Polk,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and Palmer, Like I don't know where it would end
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: up between those guys. I think Byle is the obvious
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: favorite at this point, but like there's two real contenders
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: behind them, and like if you're just looking at credentials
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: of how they entered the league, like Polk has better
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: credentials than all of them, So I don't know that
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: like just on paper, you say, like there's no chance,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: like if things went right for Polk, it could become
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a real thing. But Palmer's Like I think he's a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: real player. I think he's gonna end up making this team.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: If I had the guest today, I would have him
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: on my fifty three. And I think he has like
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: a real shot of challenging people for plays long way
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to go. But like, I don't think that's an outlandish
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: thing to say. I don't think it's over hyping anything.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Like he made some really nice plays in Tampa Bay.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: The numbers aren't great, but he can he can play
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: like he can do things to help the team. So
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to really see how that unfolds out.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I think it's the.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Best receiver group I got here in fourteen. Like there's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: a couple maybe maybe one or two years, but I
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: think it's a top three talented receiver group that I've
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: been around since i've been here.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen Trey Palmer do it since he was
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: a Kentwood Kangaroo in high school, so he certainly has
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: the talent. Nick we appreciate as always, So glad you're
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: back from vacation. Glad you had a great time and
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: it is here, so hopefully we'll run into you down
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: in New Ones at training camp as well.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Kangaroos is a wild name for a football team, man always.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I guess they got him out there at the that
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: wildlife thing. You can go out there and see the
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: kangaroos laying around and there, and then that's Britney Spears.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: That's where she's from. So I mean, make sure had
• 21:09

• 25:04
  Speaker 5: He does not have receiving gloves.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: I find that very hard to believe.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I said, no, learn to catch bare hands.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Why you don't do it in the games. Why would
• 25:11

• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Dallas Clark.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: H Dallas Clark. Uh. Also, everybody learns how to catch
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: bare handed first.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I guess still today they do anything.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Yep, I don't know.

  Speaker 4: I just want some gloves.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Man, are you getting advisor next or too? Yeah? You

• 26:06
  Speaker 4: got our new first helmet in recently, but that went great.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: The pretty liked these days.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: They got these new helmets that came out. I think
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: they're coming out this year. It's like new regulations.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I've learned a lot about helmets in
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: the last month, but like.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: New regulations or something for the youth helmets, and they
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: are like substantially lighter.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was never really the weight. It was always
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: the old forehead they got.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the old foam that didn't like the took a
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: well to form to your head.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I had forever Peyton manning forehead in college. Not the
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: size of it, but the red mark.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like, you know what, guy, It's like, I
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: don't need to break a new one in every year.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: Can we just reuse the pad we used last year? Yeah?
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: I remember they had to put like second skin on
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: the spot because it was it was they had read
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: the skin off and it was like a open wound
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: that was bleeding on the forehead. So to put like
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: this like gel stuff over it that they called second skin.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know, this is pretty bad. It didn't really
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: work because my brain's so big.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Uh So have you made Huck wear the helmet around?
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: I just wanted a little bit.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yep, you know the first time you put a
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: helmet on. I got to tell him, like, hey, when
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: you wear equipment like you wear a helmet, it's it's
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: not gonna be comfortable.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: No, that's what I got.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: Like everybody when you when you got kids playing that
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: they are going to complain. It's not like wearing a
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: helmet is not a comfortable thing.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Remember when I think it was Jackson at first started playing.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I came home one night and Katie had on the
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: U high helmet.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Like straight up like the pads and the helmets these days,
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: I mean there's no I mean yeah, you got to
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: break him in. You gotta like soft them up a
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: little bit. But they they're way better than the old
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: old school phone.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: Did the shut when I was uh? When I was
• 28:10

  Speaker 7: changer because it was super soft in it and uh,
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: I were that three years elementary.

  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: I could not tell you what brand the helmet was

• 28:30
  Speaker 4: ride els back then?
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: You probably no idea. I don't know.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: Probably Devis had been around for a little while when
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: I started playing.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: So probably probably so that remember seventh grade, that was
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: our first like school year to play to play football
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: is seventh grade, and everyone had the T bowned face mask.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Maybe high school everybody wanted the Revo speed they called it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: With the speed, you had the T bar face mask.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Everybody did. Seventh grade, we had the We had two options.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: You had the T bar or you had the quarterback
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: face mask. Okay, you know like this is a standard
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: court like you wore in college.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was it. That was your two two
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: on the top on the bottom. Yeah, that was it.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: And later on, you know, as you got older, then
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: you had the access to the Dion bars. See.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: That was for the one guy that hit puberty too early. Yeah,
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: that was for that guy in middle school, the guy
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: that scored, you know, five touchdowns a game in seventh
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: and eighth grade, made every tackle, but didn't play down
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: in high school.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: That was for that guy.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: He was a warrior in middle school.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Warrior. I mean, he's the guy.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: He had a little he had a little fuzz on
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: his upper lip, no doubt. Everybody else was like, I'm
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: a real boy.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like, hey, what's up? Yeah, he's the one scoring.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Give that guy the ball. God just blessed you a
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: little bit earlier than everybody.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: But you do have there a laundri what's up, homie?
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: What play?
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: What you get going on over there?
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Not much?
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Just scrolling, scrolling.
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: I have nothing to contribute to this.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: You don't.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: You didn't wear a helmet, not a football helmet. Did
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: you have to have bars in your softball helmet?
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: We used to not have to wear a mask, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: then they changed the rules and you had to.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: We had That's a good change, right.
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. I don't think you have to
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: in college though I see girls not wearing face masks,
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: but like in high school and Little League and select
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: you had to.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: You didn't high school, but we did in Dixie youth
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: baseball like something really like their face crushed. Sure, so
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: we had to start wearing the cage in baseball.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah that pictures in softball wear them.
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: Right, it's optional, but yeah, they'll wear thea. I used
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: to just wear a like a mouth guard. Some of
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: us would just wear like a mouth guard.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Especially on one side. Right, Yeah, like just well.
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: Like I like just a straight up mouthpiece, like some
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: of us would just wear that, so our teeth wouldn't.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, yeah, gotcha. Hm, we didn't.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: We didn't do the cage bat and helmets, but I
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: mean a couple of people had it, but like they
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: were not required.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just like literally like our Dixie Youth
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: and shree board had some kid get like their face
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: like crushed and they started on walker.
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: We didn't have a ton teeth anyways, they were like,
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: you know what, who cares if you guys get hit
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: in the face.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: There's a kid in literally growing up pitched and like
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: a pitching, you know, mechanics or mechanics when your kids,
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Like he would pitch, he like turn his whole.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Body all the way around.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Somebody hit a line drive up the middle hard, crushed
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: it and turned his head, hit him in the back
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: of the head and it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Like exploded his That's insane, cool, tough luck.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: I will say one time I made the mistake of
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: warming our picture up with no gear on, like a
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: zero gear, not even a face mask, and uh, I
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: had four stitches right here. I still have the scar
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: busted my eyebrow open. And she was like, I think
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: you need to go to the emergency room. And I
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: was like, no, I think it's probably fine, Like yeah,
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: it's okay. Then I looked in the mirror and my
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: face was like, oh yeah, there was a hole in
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: my eyebrow. And I was like, oh yeah, maybe it
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: was a drop ball that dropped a line and I
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: went to pick it and it bounced off the ground
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: and then.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: It went up. You can't be picking it with no
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: gear on.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: You shouldn't be warming anybody up with no gear on.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know why. Like as a coach, like we'll
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: try to go out there and we'll try to moarm
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: up the picture. So the kid catcher can, you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: go get a drink of water or whatever in between innings,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: and you know, you get one of those low ones
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: and it's like instinct to try to go black. And
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: you're like, I'm also forty one years old if I
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: don't really know how it's going to turn out, So
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: you gonna make decisions out there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: Oh man, look, we got a replay of Oklahoma South
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: Carolina from last year. South Carolina into the first quarter,
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: Leonora sellers no points yet what he just got sacked.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: But I was told yesterday emphatically that he was the
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: best in the country by Marlar.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: Like, okay, I get it. There's a lot of teams
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: that don't score in the first quarter. It's you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: it's not easy to score points. Like with the enthusiasm
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: that Marlar had for Leonoris, I would assume they scored
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: twenty points a quarter.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: Well, he's he's getting right better, right mat Yeah.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean when I said it feels like he's
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: been in college for seventeen years, and Maler's like, we what,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: like he just got there. I'm like, no, it feels
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: like he's been there.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: For you know it feels like it, uh complete a
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: percentage of last year five percent lower than twenty four
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: five less touchdown passes and threw more picks. What that
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: doesn't That sounds like a regression to me?
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: He thought it was the dumbest question everyone. I said,
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: who would you rather take? Leonora's or Rattler? Was like,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: legitimately good for them? I get it, like we we we.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Give Ratler a lot of credit, probably you know, more
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: than any show. But he was like objectively good at
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: South Carolina.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: Rattler through Fervor. I'm looking at it right now through
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: forver three thousand yards back to back seasons at South Carolina,
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: Lenora Sellers. Has he yet to throw for twenty six
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: hundred in a season?
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: I mean like.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Yesterday by Lockdow on COXI. That's not real.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's he completed sixty nine percent of his passes
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: his senior year.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: You can't trust facts, Taylor. You know that.
