  Speaker 1: We go to the big easy Jeff Legwall brought to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers ib e
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: W Local sixty eight. Start with a job and with
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a career. Kate Jeff framed this one with Sean Payton
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: going back. What are the upsides? What are the downsides
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for coach Peyton returned back to back to New Orleans.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the upside is the Saints are going to
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: be missing about half their offense, so, uh, you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: from the football perspective, the Broncos aren't that healthy, but
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: they're still a lot healthier than the Saints are right now,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: especially after today. You know their top two receivers are
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: going to be out, Taysom Hill's going to be out,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and you know they're already playing the backup quarterback. So
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I think that's the the football part is is the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: good part for him. It's just managing all the family
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: stuff off the field. I mean, that's it's a big
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for him, but I would guess it's probably a bigger
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: deal for a lot of his family and maybe his
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: kids and those types of things. So I think on
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a short week it's actually better for him to avoid
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: some of the emotion in it all because he probably
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't have time to let it, I'll sink in anyway.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Jeff, it's hard to imagine that the New Orleans fan
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: base doesn't just love Sean Payton based off all the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: success that he had. But there are some people out
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: there that say that he bailed on the team when
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: they got into cap Hell. How would you characterize Sean
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Payton's exit from New Orleans? Did he leave in good
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: graces or not?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Tyler, I guess it's like a lot
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of things that probably depends who you ask. But the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: people who are sort of critical of it sort of noticed, Okay,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: when Drew Brees was done and Tom Brady was in
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the division and you had a enormous hand uh in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the cap difficulties and frankly they they he's he's done
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: it with the Broncos already a little bit. But I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: think the people who are critical of them, you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: see those three things and are like, Okay, you you
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: talk about grit, and you didn't you didn't sort of
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: hang in when things went bad and then you were
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: only out a year and and came right back, uh
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: real fast.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: No troop to the room or I'm hearing that that
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: there's the Broncos defense and put a bounty on this game.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You are right for the bounding.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: You know, you know old news Dbak told me we're
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: living in the past today. How much does pastor ten
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: being out mean to this defense?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's Scotty, It's it's where everything starts. When they start planning,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you know, coverages and you know the rush coverage combination.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Your starting point is going to be, okay, where we
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: put sir Kaan on that play, and you know what
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: he gives you that they don't have now is predictability
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: because you know people are either not even going to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: challenge him, and then if they do, you know he's
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: gonna handle his business. So it is the ultimate predictability.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And if and if you don't you want to see
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: his impact, Look what Garrett Wilson did Monday night. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: look what Garrett Wilson did, you know against the Broncos
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. You know, look what Mike
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Evans did when Patrick Sirtan wasn't on him. You know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's look what dk Metcalf has done. So they're they're
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: going to be they will miss him and I will
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: be surprised. You know, again, every player is different with
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: these things, but I will be very surprised if he
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't miss multiple weeks.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: You look at the yeah, well that's not great, is it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You look at the next stretch of games here, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you kind of look at a handful of games, Jeff,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I see maybe about four games on the schedule that
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: are great opportunities for the quarterback to shine. How important
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: is it for the quarterback to shine in these four games?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you better get them, Tyler when you can.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I mean to me, the you know, the real crux
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of the matter is waiting. You know, the Baltimore Kansas
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: City double road trip, you know, right is kind of
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: where I think they better have him in a confident
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: place when they arrived to those those two games. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I think that would be if I you know, they
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: don't care what I think, but if I were involved
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: in the decision making, I'd really want him in a
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: confident place by the time you get to those games.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You know, this game, you know they the Saints just
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: almost gave up six hundred yards to the Buccaneers last week,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So this better be a confidence game for you, Carolina,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: better be a confidence game if you're the quarterback. But
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you know, to me, I think their issue really is
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: is I think they'd like to and need to, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: sort of work the mechanics part of it, but you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: really don't have time. You're still trying to get him
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: some kind of comfort level in pieces of the playbook
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: because right now he is playing with a very small
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: piece of the playbook and they are keeping them in
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the same personnel groupings so to keep things manageable for
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: bon Knicks, they are making things very predictable for defenses,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and that's their issue right now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Well, that being said, is that the difference of bon
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Knicks quarters one through three versus quarters four last week?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think anybody in the league would
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: tell you that working against the prevent defense and young quarterbacks,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: especially guys who've been in you know, an Oregon type
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: offense or a more of a spread look type offense,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the menu for the for the two minute offense is
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: very short compared to the rest of the game plan.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So in those situations, bo Nicks is dealing with a
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: defense that has backed off and he has a much
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: more manageable set of plays to deal with, and that's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: why he looks more comfortable. It's just a very nice
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: pitch and catch combination. And when you know, when it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a three score game or a two score game. But
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: when they tried that Scotty when the game was in
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the balance, you know, it was not nearly as successful.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: We just don't sort of remember it because they'd sprinkle
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it in for three or four plays instead of just
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: running a whole quarter like that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: How many beads are you going to try to get
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: for yourself out there on Bourbon Street tonight?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Jeff?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: What's what's that look like for you in the French
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: quarter tonight?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, this isn't my first New Orleans rodeo,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: so I uh, I'll probably go. I'll probably go light
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: on the beach.
• 7:10

• 8:03
  Speaker 1: more unique place.
