• 1:12
  Speaker 3: to you by friends over at Community Steel, communitysteelco.com. Here
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: in Gonzales, Louisiana. It didn't go great. For what? The
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: black and gold last night. Was that last night? That
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: was last night. Did not go as planned.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: I fell asleep before it was over, so in my head,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: we won.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Well, who died?
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: I don't know when you went to sleep.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I dreamt it, so it happened.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: She had an alternate ending. Yeah, alternate ending. Yeah. Because
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they took the lead pretty quick.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Like 13 minutes left in the first.
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, it was 14-0 in the blink of
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: an eye, and then you're playing catch-up.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Jeez. Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: A couple things can be true.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Love to hear this one.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: He's going to try to make this.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: They're actually the better team.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: No, they're not.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Not right now.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Michael Penix Jr. changes the entire equation for that football team.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: A lot of people wrote him off, and rightfully... I mean,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: not rightfully, so.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, both his knees were.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both of his knees have exploded multiple times.
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: They have.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they have.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: That's tough to come back from.
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: And I hope that– I hope just for, like, the
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: sake of loving quarterback play and the quarterback position and
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: respecting the hell out of what quarterbacks do, that he's okay. Like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: his knees can be good for the long term. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: just don't know. Like, he hadn't proven that in his career. But, man,
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: you're right.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You hit it. Like, that offense– is opened up with
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: him a quarterback for whatever the reason is.
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's not like he did anything overly exceptional
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: or impressive, just methodical found the open guy. But when
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: you can run the ball like that and you have
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: a very physical wide receiver that just throws people off
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: of them, then just get the ball to those guys.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: It's, It says right here on this graphic on TV
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: as we're watching it, weeks one and two, 16 points
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and seven turnovers for the Atlanta Falcons offense. Week threes
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: through four, 80 points with one turnover.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Is that good? It seems pretty good.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It's pretty good.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Michael Penix was 15 of 20, 223, 11.2 yards per attempt,
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: one touchdown, took one sack.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: The Falcons also tied a Falcons team record last night.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: A couple of them, I think.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Five rushing touchdowns.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: This is depressing me.
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: Two Falcons had multiple rushing touchdowns, which is the second
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: time in team history. Last one was 1973. And second
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: straight game with 200-plus rushing yards. That's the first time
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: since 2010. So they did a nice job.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You know who didn't have 200-plus rushing yards? The New
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Orleans Saints.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: This team can't run the ball, man. This is honestly,
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: you go back to last year, it's been a little
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: bit of an issue under Kellen Moore, man.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: That's why you signed a $ 53 million running back and
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a very high-priced left guard.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Even with them, I mean, it hadn't.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Well, no, that's what I'm saying. You said going back
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: to last year, that's why you did it. It didn't matter.
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: That's kind of like when you watch Tyler Shuck play,
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: the things that he's doing is pretty exceptional.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: To be able to do the things. Even last night,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I thought he played great. I thought Tyler Shuck played really,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: really well.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: He was 30 of 48, 286, one touchdown, took two sacks.
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: Just wasn't a lot of help out there. Those guys
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: did make some good catches.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: His team had 19 carries for 50 yards. That's 2.6
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: yards per attempt for those keeping score at home.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Matt, to your point, per game, 56 passes in week one. 34, 42,
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: 48 last night. He's having to throw the ball 50
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: times a game because you can't do anything on the ground.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Saints averaged, what, 2.6 yards per attempt? Yep. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: would say.
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: The Falcons running backs were 2.6 yards down the field
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: before they even saw the other color.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Before contact. Before they ever saw a white jersey.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: True.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: It's not good.
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: Sometimes they were six, seven yards down the field before
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: they even got a finger on him. That running defense
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: was just embarrassing.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: Not only can you not run it, you can't stop
• 6:10
  Speaker 10: it either.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: We talked about no Caden Ellis.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: That was a big loss.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: I'd say that he would have stopped it in.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Its totality, but certainly would have helped. And also.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: I hate doing this.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I really do. Because, like, I hate just, like, singling
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: out and calling out players. But Kendre Miller, y'all, six
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: carries for nine yards, 1.5 yards per carry.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: He fumbled the football away.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: And I put this out there last night. I have never,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: in my days of playing in the NFL or covering
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the NFL, seen a third-round pick get more opportunities and
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: more run with less production. I've never seen it. It's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: never happened. He must be a hell of a practice player.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: But I've been around guys. You've been around guys where
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: they can have incredible practices and it never translates to
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the game field. Never. And I've seen guys that can't
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: practice and are incredible players in the game. Seen that before, too.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Kendra must be an elite practice player. Has to be.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I have never seen a third-round pick get more opportunities
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: with less production in my life.
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: And we thought they were going to cut him this
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: last time.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: They had to keep him because of injury. I assume,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I would think that it was part of probably part
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of the plan for him not to be part of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the team.
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: But it just kind of had to, because.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Even then though you, you release estimate before he's able
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: to come back.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I get it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: He's on a world beater, but like SME has been
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: a hell of a lot more productive in this offense
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: than country Miller has.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Even the fumble yesterday.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: It wasn't like we see fumbles every week where there's
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: an incredible peanut punch. Like there's an awesome punch and
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: you're like, Oh my God. Like who's held. Nobody's holding
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: onto that ball. Cause no doubt defense is just getting
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: really good at that specific move. It was a great play. Um,
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: this wasn't even like a great play on the football.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: This was a cornerback saying, I am going to be
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: the alpha on you right now.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: I'm just going to take this from you.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: As I'd never really seen anything like that before.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: I was a running back was going down.
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: I was like, you fumbled that one. That's the one
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: you decided to fumble. Now you're a professional football player.
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: You can't fumble that you're a professional running back. Whose
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: main goal is to hold onto the football. Excuses can
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: be made. With incredible defensive plays, you can be like, okay,
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: I get it. On to the next play. He should
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: have been– I'm sure they wanted to pull him from
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: the game and not let his cleats touch another blade
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: of grass inside the white lines. Or artificial grass inside
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: the white lines. That one very much frustrated me. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: he looked slow doing it. He didn't even look good
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: doing it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: And I know they're beat up and banged up and
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: just still. It's not just this year. It's– It's really
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the totality of his career.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I don't get it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: He's in year four. We get it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: I don't get it.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And you know what? He didn't play great.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: But he played better than most of the people on
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: defense did. Let's be honest. There was worse plays throughout
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: the entire game than that one play for Kendrick Miller.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: That defense. Oh, my goodness.
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: Nick Underhill is going to join the show a little
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: bit later. He can speak on it, maybe dive into
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: some of the numbers here and there. But, my God,
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: that run defense was disgusting. Now, credit where credit's due, that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Line was mauling.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: Do you have a mauling line with the best player
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: in the National Football League in B.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: John Robinson? I know, I get it. I got a special,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but I'm telling you, I could have got about 75
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: yards rushing last night if my hamstrings would have made it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: If it makes... Kendre feel better. He wasn't the lowest
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: rated offensive player, only he was the next to last.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Oscar Delp was actually the lowest rated.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: I was thinking Lance.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kendre Miller, 41.3. Oscar Delp, 39.6. We had a little.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Scare with Olave, too.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Got hit in the knee a little.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Bit.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: He's still really good.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck, really good. Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Juwan Johnson.
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: Juwan Johnson, balling. A passing game, there's nothing really you can,
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: I mean, make a couple more plays.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: The whole line is just so awful.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: You want to hear the Saints' interior defense of lineman grades?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, for sure. It's going to be really good.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: 41.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: High effort. High motor, guys.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: 41, 30.2, 29.4, 28.4.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Too high. That's too high.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Bro, the dude who's 40 is overperforming.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Jeez, Dave.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That was Nathan Shepard, 41.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Extend him for sure.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Quincy Riley, corner, was your lowest rated defensive player, 28.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Or 27, sorry.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: We talked about this at the offseason. I thought they
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: did an awful job addressing corner. Didn't think they had
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: a number one corner on this team. Still don't think
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: they have a number one corner on this team. You
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: decided we're rolling with Kool-Aid, we're rolling with Quincy Riley,
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: we're going to see what happens, and I just don't
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: think it's worked.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I think they would have gone... They would have really
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: thought about Mansoor Delane at eight if he was still there.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: But when he wasn't, that's when they pivoted to Jordan Tyson.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: They had some quality guys, though, in the third round.
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: And I get people were excited about what he did, but, like,
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: did you need a third tight end and Oscar dealt
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: more than you needed a corner? Like, I just thought
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: they did a poor job in the draft on that.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It was a one-air.
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: I mean, this is, like, revisionist history a little bit, but, like,
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: you can look back and hindsight's always 20-20. But they
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: addressed the need in the top ten. that's their best
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: unit on the team, right?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Like, without him.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Like, the passing game is.
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: Objectively the only thing on this team that you're like, that's,
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: we're really good at that. Which didn't help the team,
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: but it, I think about how good they're, once he
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: does come back, but to y'all's point, everything else kind
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: of got exposed. And, like, look, let's, like, they got down,
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: got down early. Everybody plays a bad game. Like that's
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: sometimes you just run into a buzzsaw and that certainly
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: was them yesterday.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And you couldn't match it. You couldn't match the intensity.
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: You just played from behind the whole time from very early,
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: but let's, the saints have played well throughout the season.
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: So I guess there's a silver lining there. You got
• 13:03
  Speaker 9: your quarterback playing really well. The defense has played a
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: lot better than they did yesterday. Um, And you got
• 13:10
  Speaker 9: some good performance, but you're 1-3. That's the reality of
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: the situation. That stinks.
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: Aside from being 1-3, what also doesn't feel good is
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: that you didn't really take advantage of the moment. It's
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: like a primetime game, the only primetime game basically that
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: you have.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: It's it. Yeah, and then it's the 20th anniversary of
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: coming back to the Dome. Drew Brees is there. They've
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: got this halftime show that, I mean.
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: Juvenile and Eric Church was a choice, but we can
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: revisit that later. But they have this, like, huge halftime show, primetime,
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: and the moment was too big for them.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: And that's what also just does not feel good.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: No.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: Although it came out flat to that point.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like, the first drive, they looked not good.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Like, they scored two.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: Well, they're, like, the Saints' first drive. But, yes, Bijon
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: scoring within two minutes of the game.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: That one guy got a little fingertip on him. He did.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: He almost touched his shoulder. No, I just thought the
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: lack of effort on defense all night long. I understand
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: your defense isn't great, but there were guys that were
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: there and kind of backed off a little bit trying
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: to tackle B.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: John Robinson. I thought it was a little embarrassing. There
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: was one man I saw playing his tail off every
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: single play. I was Chase Young. He loved Chase Young.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Played his tail off. I thought Cam and Chase Young
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: played their butts off. Cam, yeah.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Cam's limited. Cam looks slow. I mean, he does. He
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: looks old and slow. And what?
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: What?
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: He does. Correct me if I am wrong, please. Don't
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: just say dang. Be like, no, he doesn't. Say it
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: with your chest out.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Rip.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: No, he played great.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: He did play hard.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: He did play hard.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Cam gave you every ounce of everything he had. I
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: thought Sanker had a couple of moments.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: He did.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: He basically, at the end of the game, he's playing linebacker.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, because they couldn't stop a nosebleed. So he's
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: up in the line of scrimmage basically as a safety.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: But if you don't get better in the interior of
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: your defensive line, it's going to be rough. And I
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: know you're down some bodies. Everybody's down a couple bodies.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It just is what it is. You've got like Shepard
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: has been there. Boyd's been there. Gotchow's been there. Brodden's
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: been there. Like, they've all been there. It's not like
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: you signed a free agent off the street. That was tough.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, Ridgeway played a little bit last night. I mean,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: he didn't do anything.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: I was excited for the game.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I was very excited.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Excitement killed two minutes in.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I picked up.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Memphis got done in baseball like at 6.50. I'm, like,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: picking him up. I stop by the gas station, get
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: a couple snacks, get back in the car. As I
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: turn on the car, the 20, the 15, the 10,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the 5. I'm, like, who the hell's scoring already?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Kendra? Nope.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Kendra?
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Wasn't Kendra.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Changed to the car, like, Saints are scoring.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I knew it. B.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: John Robinson goes untouched.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, they touched. We just talked about it. We did
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: touch him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, he said untouched.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: He got a little finger on his shoulder.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: He didn't have his binoculars out.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Did you imagine Matty went to the sideline? He's like, coach, coach,
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: I touched him. You see him on good try?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Almost got him. No, but his feet missed him.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: This is Helen's very soft spoken. They don't have any juice.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Well, the wins that you're going to have this year
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: are going to be fun, though, because you're going to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: win 44-41. They're going to be excited.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I don't know. This isn't fun to me.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: But we did win. The wins are going to be fun.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I thought I was going to have fun this season.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: I'm not having fun.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Come on. It's only week four.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: A whole lot of season left.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of football left. That was just a
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: bad game. Let's wash it off. Wash our hands clean
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: of this one. That was just a bad game. Had
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a bad day. Maybe the mumps.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Were running through the game.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Do we have the mumps?
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: I don't think the running game had a bad day, Matt.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I think they just had a day. That's just who
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: they are, bud. Falcons the other day.
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: You really think Kellen Moore is going to go in
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: there and, like, rip him a new one and be like,
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: we got to get together, guys.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: No, he's going to go be a little nerd.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: Which is fine, but it's just there's no juice to it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: Just got to get back to the grind. Got to
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: watch the tape. Tyler Sheck, you didn't throw for 400.
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: If you did it, maybe we had a shot.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: It's on you, buddy. Just kidding. He's really good. Top
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: five quarterback.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: There were some plays last night that I was like.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: In a good way or a bad way? You have
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: a quarterback.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: In a bad way.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: You have a quarterback that understands they can't do anything
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: on the ground.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: So you have a quarterback that is trying to take
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: calculated risk, and he's trying to hit a deep box
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: he knows. That was at the end, like in the
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter. Yeah, and he kind of knows, like, there's
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: nothing we're.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Going to be able to do. Now, there were some
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: that I was like, oof, that's pretty.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: He's a good player.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: There's a couple of sacks he got away from.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Like, last night.
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: I thought he was dead to rights on a few
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: of them, and he just spun out.
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: It was a weird thing. I was watching that game,
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: and they're getting their butts whipped, right? But I'm watching
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: that game, and I'm like, I am very, like, overly
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: impressed with Tyler Shuck right now. Like, overly impressed with him.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: And that's a very positive thing coming up.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you, okay, there was, like, very, very
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: few players that I was like, okay.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: You're still good.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: We're good.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: I like you, buddy.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I like you.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Chuck's one of them. Chase Young's one of them. Cam's
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: going to be one of them because he did play
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: his butt off. Chris Alave is going to be one
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: of them. And Devon Vele.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Vele, yeah. Great catch.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: For as long as we've been like, we were like, man,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: it's trade. It's like you gave up some stuff and
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: you haven't been on the field. And, like, what did
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you see? Well, I see it now. I see it now.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: He is a great option to have.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Did you say Kamara? Kamara scored twice.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, AK had some.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: He did what he could do.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: It wasn't running, but he had some.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: He did okay.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: He had two touchdowns. He called five passes out of
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: the backfield.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I've had games where I've had two touchdowns and played
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: like ish.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: I'm getting overly defensive.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Too late in my senior year.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: It's all right.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I had two touchdowns. Didn't play great at all.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: At this point in his career, Alvin's a little bit
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: over the hill.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: He's all right.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: He got what the play was blocked for.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: And Kendra didn't do that, so to that point. I
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: did think AK was better in pass protection. I know
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: sometimes he struggles a little bit in there because he's
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: a route runner, but the Falcons were bringing numbers.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: Who do we say we're going to go get? The
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: guy from the Chargers? Oh, Kamani Vidal.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Joe Mixon just got signed yesterday.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: It's Tom.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: By the Seattle Seahawks. So he's gone. The experiment's over. Tom,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: go get you one.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Please, somebody. Get you one of them big I think
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: he has defensive linemen, too.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The experiment's been over with one of the backs
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: for us for a while, just not them.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: All right, we've got to take a break. We'll have
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: more on the Saints-Falcons Monday Night.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Football that we had high hopes for, but it did
• 20:24

  Speaker 8: All right, welcome back in, OTB. Here on this 80s Tuesday.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's Tuesday.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Yep, it's Tuesday. Broke our necks this morning.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, we did break our necks. Metaphorically.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we wouldn't be here if we... Yeah.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Our guy Buster. We're in desperate need of it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: His name is definitely Buster.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Buster. He always... Old Buster. That's how we start every Tuesday.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Normally.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we forget.
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: And it shows. Hey, got a quick question for you.
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: If there was a problem, yo, I'll solve it. Is
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: Baker Mayfield the worst quarterback in the NFC South?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: This year, yeah.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Try saying that a month ago.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, try saying the Bucs roster is by far
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: the worst in the NFC South.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: To extend it.
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: See, Baker lost his powers when he tried to be
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: this the guy that was like not gonna do it
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: by the time i'm a man of my word you're
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: not gonna get it done by this we're not doing
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: it he kind of chickened out because he did sign
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: the contract even after he said he wasn't going to
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: he lost a lot of his powers then.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: He blinked he blinked he was like he did and then.
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: He had all his aura like at the time it
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: was like get the contract done before training camp or
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: it's not going to get done i'm not doing it
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: after right And we were like, that fits. That fits
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: Baker's personality. And then three weeks later, oh, lo and behold.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: He lied.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: And that doesn't fit his personality. He lost a lot
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: of his aura there. And I think he lost his
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: powers for the season.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: Maybe that's why the other line decided to stop block.
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: They lost the respect, too. So they were like, you
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: know what? We're going to just let everybody through.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, whether you know it affects you, I think it does.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I think you're on to something.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: And he is the fourth best quarterback in a four-team division. See,
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: even in high school, I was at least the third.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: True. He's not even honorable mentioned.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: All division.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: What a loser. They should have all division teams. That'd
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: be fun. That would actually kind of be fun. You
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: could put it on the letter jackets. That'd be sweet.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: Letter jackets.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Biggest shame in the world? Some are asking.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: It's awesome in your closet?
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they're sweet, though, at the time. They're not, like,
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: cool for life, but, like, they're cool at that time.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: How many times have you worn your Letterman jacket?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I wore it all the time in high school. Everybody did.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: What about your LSU Letterman jacket? I wore it once
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: to a costume party.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Teen Wolf?
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: It was an 80s deal. Mullet, letter jacket.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Jeans my whole i'm just saying like like they are
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: very expensive yeah they.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: Are it's juice worth the squeeze oh dude i mean
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: when we were in we were in school.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: I think they're good like high school sure i didn't
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: i don't think.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: How they would get us they're like you can customize
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: it you can pick what kind of leather you want
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: on your sleeve oh we had all this like a form.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah you'd like a form to fill.
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: Out get tony llama sleeves on there pay for them
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: in college no we earned them we earned them they
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: That was our perk back in the day.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you got boys in high school. What's a
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: leather jacket go for these days?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: It's pretty expensive. A couple hundred bucks. Yeah, I was
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: going to say, it's got to be around $ 300. What,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: you think it's going to.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: Be $ 30?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: If it was something that cost a couple hundred bucks
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: but got worn every day, I wouldn't care.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: They don't wear them. They should wear them.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: The twice a year it's cold enough to wear.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on now.
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: Ours came in spring of my junior year, so I
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: really wore it December to February of my senior year.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: I was just asking a question. Don't get defensive.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I didn't know you owned a letter jacket.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a big letter jacket fan.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: You said you've worn your LSU in once to a
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: costume party.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: I'm high school letter jackets. Honestly, when I got my
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: letter jacket at LSU, I was like, oh, they give
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: these here?
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: You wore that honorable mention all-district patch jacket out in public?
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: With pride.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Hey, guess who was the second highest rated defensive player
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: for the Atlanta Falcons with an 82.2 yesterday?
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, probably somebody that didn't play for LSU, right?
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Funny enough, he's somebody that played for LSU on three
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: different levels.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: On the worst LSU defense in the history of the program?
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: That was Harold Perkins Jr.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: Played 52 of the 74 defensive plays. 82.2.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Had a coverage grade of 83.3, the best of the Falcons.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: As we punch air.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: His coverage grade? I mean, that's impressive. I mean, that
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: was a big knock on him.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: When he was here.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Although I never understood that either. That's why he played
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: the nickel position last year because he could cover. Anyways,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: I thought that was.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Something. That was something.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Where are we going to play this guy?
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: I just, like, the more days I go by, I know, like,
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: you have to, you just got to put one foot
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: in front of the other.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: You got to keep moving forward in life.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah, brother.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hell yeah. Got to.
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: Print the bumper sticker. But, like, I always find a
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: way at least three times a week to dislike Brian
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: Kelly more. I know I've got to move forward, and
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: we're in a better place. I said it two weeks ago.
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: Texas A & M, you're okay with me. I thank
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: you for your service last year. I appreciate it. Oh,
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: my God.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: The amount of people that have success during Brian Tenney's career,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: like during Brian Kelly's tenure here, the amount of players
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: that have had success in the NFL that Did not
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: even come close to scratching the surface.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Are you talking about guys like Omar Spates, who we
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: were told couldn't play, and he starts for the L.A.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Rams for the last three years?
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: Well, the Rams aren't that good, so I'll give a
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: pass on that one. I saw the Bucs game the
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: other day. The guy with his hand in his dirt,
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: getting pretty physical at the tight end position.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Hooked up, power sharp.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Huh.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Weird. That's probably it. Missed on a couple.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: Coaches aren't perfect, you know? Anyway, it drives me crazy.
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: Where are we going to put, like, there's just no
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: place to put them on defense. We can't figure out
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: where to put them. Yeah, well, the NFL figured it
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: out in four weeks. And it's a better league than
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: college to figure.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Are wondering.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I figured. Yeah, more talented guys. Older, smarter. Yeah.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: Anywho.
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: No reason to get upset about it now, except that
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: they beat the Saints yesterday and he played really well.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: He played well. Second highest graded player on the team
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Had half a sack, too.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: So the thing about the Saints now after this loss, okay, well,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: what's down the road? What does it look like in
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: the near future? When we come back, we'll tell you
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: what that looks like. And let's just say it's a
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: little bit of a bear. And we'll tell you who
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: that is, where those games will be played when we
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: come back here on OTB.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Off the Bench.
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: If you need.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: A friend Don't look to a stranger.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: Off the.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn, presented by Community Steel.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in. OTV here live from the
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Raising Cane studio. So anytime that Cole Kublik is on
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: a LSU call, he brings me a stack of fullback cards.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Anybody that's played fullback or fullback adjacent in the NFL.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: And so I was opening those up in studio, and
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I got this pretty sweet Natron Means card in his
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Chargers uniform, right? Clear, little clearly card, see-through. I was like, ah,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: look at this sweet Natron Means card, Flynn.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: He didn't know who Natron Means was.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Was he a running back's coach for North Carolina?
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: The one you just Googled?
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: And he played at North Carolina, too.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: He was a running back's coach, too.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Like, how do you not remember him in the 90s?
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: He was, like, the big power back, had a sweet visor. Like,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: one of the first guys I remember having, like, a
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: dark visor.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Played a while, huh? A long time. Honestly, he didn't
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: play for the.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Cowboys or the 49ers. I probably didn't know who it was. Yeah,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: how many?
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: Eight years.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I had a mean Natron means Jags jersey. Okay, well,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: you also weren't born when he was playing, to be fair.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: I was not, but I don't know who he is.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Tay-Tay, help me out here.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Well, Taylor wasn't born either.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: You remember Natron Means, though. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: That's what we were just talking about.
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: But also, my first discovery of Natron Means was one
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: of my football cards.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I didn't see him play live, but yeah.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: You remember Mike Tolbert, right, that I played with? This
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: was Mike Tolbert.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: That was early Mike Tolbert. Big boy.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: He was back there toting that thing.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Means was nicknamed Natron Refried Means. Yeah. Oh, that's an
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: awesome nickname.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: That's pretty sweet.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: That's a good name.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Refried Means. Natron Means Business.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: It looked like he enjoyed some Natron Means.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: He was nicknamed Natron Means Business by Chris Burman. That tracks.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: That tracks.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: That's my golf partner, Chris.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Chris, go back. That's where you saved Tyler Shuck's life.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right. You're welcome.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Well, getting back to the Saints.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's classic name dropping.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Pick those names up as you drop them.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Seriously, Chris Burb is just.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: It's like Marler going back and liking a text three
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: hours later.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Marshall Falk won it, no big deal. Didn't he win it?
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he did.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Cubes was there. Super Chef Bobby Flay. Super Chef Bobby
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Flay was there.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: We get it.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: It was almost too much. Oh, Saints stink.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Coming up for the New Orleans Saints, it is going
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to be the Minnesota Vikings at home. Their defense is
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: pretty good. It's going to be the New York Giants
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: on the road. They're 3-1.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: It's going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers in France.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Playing in Paris.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: We need to go to that one.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Then it's going to be the Cleveland Browns at home.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: Am I trying to sponsor that?
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: For sure. You work huge in France.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, do you not want to have an international market?
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: You don't want to hydrate the world?
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: French don't care about their bodies.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: That's fair, actually.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: So you're saying it doesn't get easier?
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: No, I'm saying exactly that, yeah.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you thought that the Falcons were going to be bad.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: You thought the whole division.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: Was going to be good. That was pretty good.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Minnesota's 4-0 with an incredible defense. The Giants are 3-1
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: and just finding ways. The Steelers game is going to be,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: as we mentioned, in Paris. Then you've got the 3-1
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns. That game looks completely different now. It doesn't.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: It just, the Panthers, then at the Bears, at the Bengals.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Can we go back to playing the Lions and the Ravens?
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Seriously.
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: It's funny how just the preseason outlook just never matches
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: what actually happens. This is not going to be a
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: really tough stretch now. And beforehand, you didn't really think
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: of the Raiders, the Falcons, those guys.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we got it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: We got this. The way they're looking, are you kidding me?
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Got the Browns a couple weeks after that. Dude, you
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: can't stop the Browns. We're going to dominate.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: With the Browns. Who is their best offensive player, arguably?
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: Quinch on Judkins. They're going to run the ball a lot. Well, actually,
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: it's kind of.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Been struggling a little bit. It's been Watson to Denzel
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Boston and Harold Fanon and Casey Concepcion.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Either way.
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: What corner do you have on your team? You're confident
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: that can cover six for Denzel Boston.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: You know, we all have choices.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: So Kool-Aid.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Look, we have a choice. We have a choice to make.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Kool-Aid's got a cool name.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: So, Denzel.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's changed his number a lot, guys. Yeah.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: God, he has.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Three times?
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: So, we can either sit here as fans, as a
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: wolf pack, and we can point out all the flaws,
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: or we can say, you know what?
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Let's ride.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of football left to be played.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: I hate that.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: You know what? You got a really good quarterback. Passing
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: game's really good.
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: Might get your first-round pick back pretty soon.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: There's a lot of looking up. A lot of 40,
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: like I said, 44, 41 wins coming, and they're going
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: to be exciting. Tyler Shook might end the year with
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: the most passing yards in the NFL because he's got
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: to throw.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: It 40 times.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Good for him. What does that matter if you're not winning, though?
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're going to.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Like I said, we've got a choice to make. We
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: just acknowledge– That there's flaws.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: Sometime God makes that choice for you, bud.
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: We're going to acknowledge that's not a perfect team. And
• 37:51
  Speaker 9: we're not going to win the Super Bowl. But we
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: can have fun. We're going to have fun with a
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: good offense.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: You're running the football for 88 yards a game.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, like, good offense. Wouldn't that
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: entail a good run game?
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Doesn't have to. Ask Mike Leach. Okay, Matt, who was your.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: All right, Aaron, let's go. Let's do it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Who were your.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: Top four players in the power rankings last week, quarterbacks.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: It was Purdy, Mahomes, Allen, and was it Lamar at four? No,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I think it was Burrow. That was the one I
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: struggled with.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: Christian McCaffrey, Kenneth Walker, James Cook, Chase Brown. All of
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: those quarterbacks have really good running backs. Talishuk doesn't have that.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: He has nothing to fall back on.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah.
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: I mean, running games are pretty cool to have as
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: a quarterback. We don't have it, even though you invested
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: in it. God, how good were we feeling when that
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: move was made in the offseason? All those moves for
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: the running game. We were like, this is awesome. They're
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: doing the right things, and I still feel like they're
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: doing the right things. It's just not playing out.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a break. We've got more OTB
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: when we come back here live from the Raising Cane Studios.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: Off the bench.

• 39:58
  Speaker 9: Been doing business with Louisiana families, Louisiana businesses since 1910.
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: So if you want to walk into a branch and
• 40:05
  Speaker 9: shake someone's hand, look someone in the eye that's going
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: to be the decision maker, not somebody in New York
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: City or that left coast, go to First American Bank
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: and Trust, fabt.com.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn, presented
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: by Community Steel.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: Close my eyes.
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: But I couldn't find a way.
• 40:39
  Speaker 11: So I'll settle for one.
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: Day to believe in you. Tell me lies about the Saints, please.
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: They have a great run game. Defense, mean, tough, nasty.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Fiscal. Kendre, I mean, yeah, Kendre, all pro. Kool-Aid lockdown corner.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Probably going to make the playoffs.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: You control your own destiny. A lot of season left.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: The Cincinnati Bengals are 31st in the NFL and rushing 74.3
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: yards per game.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: 32nd in the NFL. It's not the Saints. Green Bay Packers,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: 58 yards. They're almost 20 yards behind 31st.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Look at their records.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Houston, 30th. So, 30th. 32nd. How about that? Bengals.
• 42:31
  Speaker 9: Bengals have, like, figured it out, too, on defense a
• 42:34
  Speaker 9: little bit. And they still got the passing game. If
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: they can figure out the run game, they're going to
• 42:41
  Speaker 9: be pretty deadly.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I wouldn't have ever guessed them at 31. Yeah.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Not with Chase Brown.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: The Alons still really bad. But can I figure it out?
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: Kansas City Chiefs have the best yards per carry.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. What, like 30?
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Five and a half.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: That guy's on pace. I looked at him yesterday.
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: He's on pace for just shy of 2,300 yards on
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: the season. Is that okay?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: It's decent.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Is that a pretty good signing? You basically signed him
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: for what you gave A-Chain.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think I checked yesterday. I think he's 10th.
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: I think he's actually behind A-Chain in average annual salary.
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: And there ain't 10 running backs better than him.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I almost said there isn't one, but yeah.
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: Total value of the deal now, it's three years to
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: four years.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: The annual salary for Travis Achan is $ 12 million. Kenneth
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Walker is $ 14. 3 per year.
• 43:49
  Speaker 12: Walker was $ 3 for $ 43 million. Achan's $ 4 for $ 48 million.
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: Guaranteed money, 28 for Walker, 24 for HN. So not
• 44:07
  Speaker 12: completely dissimilar deals right there with each other.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Tight. Cool. It's been a really, I feel like a
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: really uplifting hour of radio.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: Has it?
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: Glad we could do that.
• 44:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, that's what happens when the whole city comes alive.
• 44:29
  Speaker 9: There's so much buildup to this game. The whole country's watching.
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: First primetime game. It probably feels like a decade.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: And you.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's fine.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: You'll get them back that next one you've got this year.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: You lay a big old wet fart out there. Not
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: a wet one.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: A wet one.
