0:30
[SPEAKER_00]: We better bring it tonight.
0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: The universe of Up and I ask.
0:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, bro, we got like maybe 20 minutes in this shit of a good 20.
0:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Last night, we were going to record, but then the Western Conference Finals game one happen.
0:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I want you on the greatest basketball games I've watched in forever with with Wambi and the thunder and I just by time the double overtime finished.
0:55
[SPEAKER_00]: who didn't have no more in the tank like he was already passed out.
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Then watching game one of the eastern conference finals, I literally just finished watching the Cleveland Cavaliers blow a 22 point lead in the fourth to the next watch that go over time right before I came up where else it was going to be a repeat of last night.
1:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And and I do Dante perfectly said on Twitter.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Watching any sports team but like watching basketball and your team that involved and even football when you watch in a game and El guy nothing to do with your team and you just like just watching it unfold and you don't got no rooted interest and it's a great There's nothing better as a sports fan than experiencing that is all about bro Yeah, you know when you just don't care who we're none You just like man just enjoying the sport, right?
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Just enjoying it.
1:50
[UNKNOWN]: So
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, also, showed how maybe far way the pelicans are from competing in little peddle can use a higher form or magic coat, mostly is now the coat to the pelicans.
2:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we wanted to come on here.
2:04
[SPEAKER_00]: a quarter of this episode and really just feel like we're, this is a groundhog day.
2:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We, we're going to talk about Avon, Avon, Kamara again in the situation and status with the Saints.
2:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I was looking at it and we recorded an episode literally 48 days ago about the future of AK in New Orleans.
2:24
[SPEAKER_00]: 48 days ago, and I want to start with that piece because
2:28
[SPEAKER_00]: the breakdown of it and the reason why we're recording this is that was yesterday at like a Saints celebrity golf event at the Chattro Country Club in New Orleans.
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I KELOMORE, GM Mickey Loomis, Tyler Shockward was there.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: The media was there, talked about a couple of things.
2:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So, situation A.K.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Cam Jordan, who else came up, uh, Taseum Hill, um,
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: and various topics came up during this opening media.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And the big takeaway was the AK situation.
2:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to start with the 48 days because ultimately, that's why I'm bringing this up is like, why that taking 48 days to figure out what's going to happen with AK in this future?
3:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We record a podcast on April 1st, asking what his future is.
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It is now May 19th.
3:18
[SPEAKER_00]: and there's still no clarity where it is we're talking about we got to look at the rock the roster like what's going to happen to the rock the roster is the roster like what do you look the roster is the roster if you if it's a situation where Mickey Loom is and I know Mickey Loom is wants to get rid of aka he doesn't want to want to team any more.
3:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Then just have the goal and the gumption to just do it.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what is the way, like even if you want, if even if someone wants to say, well, they want to wait to June 1st.
3:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So many teams of way players like early with the official announcement and then it processes after June 1st that that's not even in this equation.
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's this lingering cloud over what?
3:59
[SPEAKER_00]: is he coming, is he staying, is he going to get trade, is he going to get cut?
4:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to just talk about brass tax in terms of like his production and like his production doesn't equal what he gets paid, cool.
4:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand that.
4:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think from a football standpoint, the smart thing to do is to cut or get ready for him because of running back death when we talk about that.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But
4:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those things where this team just can't do things like normal.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, what's the hold up?
4:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he going to stay and play at his contract with his currently paid?
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe y'all approach him for a pay reduction and to reduce his contract.
4:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Or you get rid of him.
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just, this whole, like, just floating thing is just gross.
4:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just seems unnecessary.
4:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Completely unnecessary now.
4:52
[SPEAKER_01]: No, like, updated, nothing like, yeah, like, when all of this might drop a comment, killing, or, you know, AK was on to Ryan Armstrong instead of a couple of weeks ago.
5:01
[SPEAKER_01]: But, like, nothing has changed since then.
5:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just been, been the same holding pattern of nobody can really get a clear answer why, which is made day and day all the time.
5:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I met you, you know, dropping his thing on his podcast.
5:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's really just a whole lot of speculation,
5:19
[SPEAKER_01]: The speculation is there because they've made it weird, you know what I'm saying?
5:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they could easily resolve it by doing whatever you're going to do if you're going to cut them, you know, move on, let them go.
5:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Let them go.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not a trade.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I go to looking for somebody to trade from.
5:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they can't get trading nowhere.
5:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I will say that that on that move, they deal with the contract, you know, maybe that
5:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They haven't paid out any of the guarantees yet when they did that move.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
5:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
5:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It just it just sounds like they just waiting to come but even that like the June first thing I don't even know if like they don't like does that even matter like you know I'm saying like that only thing that matters like they can come out and say we plan to wave AK the mobile process on June 1st Bob Black like they don't like and they don't the process officially until June 1st but at least you're taking this
6:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Not even a negative cloud, but just this uncertain cloud, that's just hanging over the team away from it and there's clarity.
6:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So they know the team and everyone knows going for, okay cool, he's on the team, he's not on the team.
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that part of the equation and I talked about this one record on April fuck and first is that Mickey Loomis does wanna get rid of AK.
6:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think, I think it's a multi-prong thing.
6:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's like one sort of thing.
6:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think part of it's tied to what he's getting paid is doesn't match his production.
7:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a very hashtag.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for your service contract when they gave him that extension.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just what the team does.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They've done numerous times.
7:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're saying, okay, the production doesn't match what you're getting paid.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that's fair.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's this other part of it
7:22
[SPEAKER_00]: AKs like this last holdover of the powerful voice in the locker room, that in that vacuum of former players of him, Cam Jordan, the Mario Davis, those players that when Gilbinson was asking in Canvett, canvett sing the team in terms of what to do with Dennis Allen, all through those players are very open at the time when he would take a coach, felt that
7:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So all these people that are all about this whole like Mickey redemption arc and let's give him his flowers and like it's just a little preposterous because I'm not saying it's the full reason.
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying it's the whole reason, but some of the reason why Mickey wants him to go is he doesn't like him for like what he stands for.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Like and when you're making decisions like that,
8:17
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not football related, not production related, not contract related, and you land to get personal, or just like, you're personal.
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think that a player?
8:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you've already lost.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you're not even a value way in the situation correctly when you're making a decision based on that.
8:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And then if you, I mean, look at my times, man, you know what I'm saying?
8:44
[SPEAKER_01]: ages, they're like, my time is just nothing existed, bro.
8:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they just, they don't sense from existence.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Day treat, Michael Thomas, like the WWE slash F, you should treat Chris Menwav.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And still to this day treats Chris Menwav a little bit.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not comparing the situations like at all, like there's a two completely distinct situation.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But just how the organization,
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Freated a former employee you would never you would have thought Michael Thomas played for the Saints in his whole career, bro And one of my time is due Got like got like put his body on the line for the team and like in the end he spoke About it was said the right thing like he was correct like you talked about this out and he talked about Derrick or you know and all the bullshit that was dog you know I'm saying
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Defending one of these all players, the player that's all still on your team.
9:42
[SPEAKER_00]: You know who might be getting a contract extension soon that DA was like a greenwood dairy car that he ran around around when he didn't run around like that's the thing that like the whole and like there's been so much positive this off season I'm not trying to make this like a negative or positive podcast, but at the end of day like what our brand is is like we always going to keep shit real you don't tell it like it is so first for such a positive off season that this team has had there's been the most hope and just
10:09
[SPEAKER_00]: just momentum and just everyone's just thinking that the thing's going to go out and when double digit double digits this next season, it is so like annoying that this is a thing that's like still happening because the solution
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, the solutions should already be made to, in my opinion, either he's either, you're gonna move forward with him on a team or if you're not, have the balls in the gumption to just do it, just do it.
10:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it.
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Get it, get it, get it on the way there.
10:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
10:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I just can't figure it out.
10:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I can figure it out.
10:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I got my speculation.
10:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's, you know, I think one, I think killing is like fine with it either way.
10:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think killing, yep, he's got to have the AK.
10:53
[SPEAKER_01]: All Kelly has seen the velvet Comerra was, you know, that's eight, what eight, seven, eight games from last year, where he's allowing sex, not getting the right protection, running in dirt, running behind a bad offensive line, like, so Kelly's probably like, man, look, I got my Travis E. Chan, we cooking over here.
11:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, back, not, don't matter to me.
11:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Loomus, obviously got his own agenda, hashtag agenda.
11:23
[SPEAKER_01]: for whatever reason is a part of it's probably football related.
11:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
11:28
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to look at the money.
11:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Calcimer didn't feed like a top 10.
11:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like the other team, like, Elcimer probably going already, you know what I'm saying?
11:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
11:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just this holding pattern that they're doing as making the ugly.
11:39
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is Elcimer we talk about.
11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: This is like the face of the franchise for the last almost 10 years.
11:46
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm sad I'm too breezy and a little breezy.
11:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Even today, like when John Tyson got drafted, you know, the day after he's at in El Camerole, let's get it, you know what I'm saying?
11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: This is El Camerole.
11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: This is El Camerole, right here.
11:58
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
11:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Very popular player in the league, you know?
12:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's just interesting.
12:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder what Gale Bitson feel about it.
12:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I just wonder how she, because you know, she love the cable.
12:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I love them.
12:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: That's part of why there's a holding pattern, because of Gales affinity for AK.
12:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I would say probably 90, 95% of moves at the Saints' mate, like, Mickey Loomis doesn't need to get taught to Gale to like discuss it or whatever.
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: But for this move, if he does truly want to get rid of AK, what he does, I feel like that's a thing where,
12:39
[SPEAKER_00]: if he's planning to like, he has to go to jail and get the approved from her.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And if she's saying, like, I'd rather just keep on one last year, um, you know, after that, he could retire.
12:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Saying he can go to a different team, but like, and that's the other part of it is like, he literally just has a year left on his deal.
12:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's just, it's just a year.
13:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
13:03
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I do think some of it does get a little bit to the pettiness, like a little bit because it's a year left for those deal, like, and I just look at it from from the football aspect of just like we said in April 1st, the running back depth takes such a threat like the depth if it's a chance to AK to Neal, or I guess I guess technically Kendra, if he's
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: HN to A.K.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: to Kendrae to Neal, to Estimate, to Ty Chandler, if you were to move A.K.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: out of that and just go from HN to Kendrae or just HN to Neal, like I just, it just gets murky here and
13:56
[SPEAKER_00]: just from the standpoint of where you are as a team, you're trying to win as many games as possible.
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have a tristion throughout the season.
14:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It just makes more logical football sense to have him in the running back room.
14:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is like really like, you know,
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: obviously different, but like this is like the first time in his career where he's going to truly be RB too.
14:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Like yeah, he was a little bit in his rickie season and techie, but like the talent like they they weren't going to be able to contain that.
14:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is like a roar vs.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to truly be RB too.
14:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And with his health and like it may benefit him to be in a kind of like reduced role.
14:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think sober and plus you got to consider E, E, E is at this stage.
14:39
[SPEAKER_01]: What like E,
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't let him cook behind David that was man, like the running game should be a little better from no from a block at standpoint.
14:47
[SPEAKER_01]: You got three tight ends, three new type.
14:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, you got, you know, Oscar Delpe, they brought in no offense.
14:55
[SPEAKER_01]: You got David Edwards, like, man, give him a chance to cook a little bit with the new offensive scheme with the new offensive personnel a little bit.
15:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe get a little more out of, you know what I'm saying?
15:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, just, like, at least try to see what it's talking about.
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a little bit because
15:11
[SPEAKER_01]: A.K., he usually goes radio solid.
15:14
[SPEAKER_01]: After the season, both, you and I, you're not here for me.
15:18
[SPEAKER_01]: A.K., and trying to talk to new business with the team, no football, none of that.
15:23
[SPEAKER_01]: He usually just disappears, and then shows up, command and toward many, many can't, that's when he shows up.
15:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And it does that every year.
15:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, I don't know, it's like, it's almost feels like a petty move with like, okay, you like to go radio solid, who's gonna go radio solid on YouTube.
15:39
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
15:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Like some of your girl would do us up like, you know, I'm like, what is going on over here?
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, in the chorebro.
15:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the fact that Luma said, Luma said himself that they did, you know, they did talk about financials and some like that.
15:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And that time was coming in the next couple of weeks or something.
15:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Like just, and also loomers just been talking kind of crazy lately, but like, I think no, like loomers, like usually loomers, he don't say shit about shit.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, I'm not going to talk about country.
16:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to, he's not going to say nothing.
16:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Positive news is don't say nothing, but he was talking about, no, we didn't put a contract off of Jason.
16:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We got one off of the office off of Camp Jordan.
16:23
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want it, we're going to get it, but off was out there.
16:28
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to see, we just got to see it.
16:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, damn, let's just talk it out, yeah.
16:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Just it started, not contract was, but it started at his end of the season pressure.
16:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We called out season reads by name.
16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's, it was such a very unloomest thing.
16:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, what?
16:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Just he, he just seems we're going to play better.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it took me a back like, oh,
16:56

19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me catch up on the chat real quick.
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Dante said, Lumis filling himself.
19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He sounded like a man on his way out hashtag, I hope.
19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Jack Hunter said, I really think Mickey just repeats what he hears.
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: That is why he didn't have much to say with Kellon being honest about the limitation of the roster from the junk.
19:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But he had to set expectation.
19:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Jack Hunter also said, AK is under contract.
19:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes the team better.
19:26
[SPEAKER_00]: that should be all we need.
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you, you, you would think so.
19:30
[SPEAKER_00]: The depth on this team, this is also Jack Hunter again.
19:32
[SPEAKER_00]: The depth on this team is still the Achilles Hill, but now, but now we got juice.
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's wrap, get closer up in the sub.
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's hit on the, the, two quick points that also came from the shout to country club in New Orleans yesterday.
19:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Chris Alave, contract extension, Mickey Loomis, cited that, it,
19:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Basically, the impression that it's in the works, you know, sooner rather than later, maybe not as soon as Chris a lobby would like.
20:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, like you said, like he rarely ever talks about the contract.
20:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I contracts as a way to like this for him to even say that shows you how positively things are moving in the direction for Chris a lobby extension.
20:11
[SPEAKER_00]: As I said in our Discord, I do feel it's a fluid negotiation because you do have to account for his concussion history and how can as a team you protect yourself you know financially from a situation like that But also he has a second team all pro so he's gonna he's gonna get paid and the Saints obviously are in position to pay him and then you he already hit on a deck
20:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, I know that came Jordan thing has to be like his pride got to be in the dumps with like in the dumps Brown, bro, hey, and look at apples to all of that's man, like that's So tell me, I mean, I'm not gonna say he should be thankful that this does not determine what I want to use But like bro, you like 37 30 years old man, we still have
21:08
[SPEAKER_01]: still a viable player in the league, you know, you're going to make some money.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: His problem is, you know, you shouldn't have been a little more cut-through, like the Saints are being ran out.
21:19
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
21:19
[SPEAKER_01]: He showed a lot of loyalty with the Saints over the years.
21:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, you know, the Saints, the Saints, the Saints, the Ackon, the Saints Ackon, the New Brothers, the Saints Ackon, the Brand New, I'll tell you about that.
21:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
21:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And now he's like, damn, I'm like, damn, I took a little pic of last year, you know, for the team just to be like a right side of Duvio.
21:38
[SPEAKER_01]: How y'all go, do this to me.
21:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Me?
21:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So it kind of is what it is.
21:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, nobody else in the league is banging down his door either.
21:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm showing some other team came with like real money, like they did with Mario.
21:53
[SPEAKER_01]: tomorrow you're new, we're all ready, tomorrow like man, shit, I'm out of here like out.
21:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, he already told everybody before you got out like, well, I'm out of here.
22:02
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, camp, camp, he just, you know, he's not getting that type of love.
22:05
[SPEAKER_01]: But I've really, like, bro, like, well, I was watching, uh, like a lot of, say his defense team put the past couple of weeks.
22:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Cam, man, you got to give him credit, bro.
22:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he was playing with a lot of energy.
22:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Like just even a lot of things he got, there were efforts acts, there were efforts acts.
22:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, you didn't, you know, he didn't win initially, but, you know, just the fact that he kept going.
22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's just hire a lot of things happening to me, man.
22:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And not everybody was on team was getting those, you know, I'm saying, right.
22:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just think, I still think he's a good addition to bring back our, I do hope he takes whatever all for, you know, they got out fine,
22:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Sweating the pile a little bit, you know, as they get close to the train camp.
22:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I'm interested to see what they do with AK.
22:46
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, with this contract.
22:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, a lot of it, it's like the fact that Loom is said that tells me like, okay, they're in the ball part, you know, not just trying to figure out, you know, guarantees long-term guarantees, protection for the team, stuff like that.
23:03
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's going to get done.
23:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it was
23:08
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, but before the season starts, that time, that turns out.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And we all, we all, we all, we're taking off.
23:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Two things, sorry, I got to close this out.
23:19
[SPEAKER_00]: The Saints have started treating Cam Jordan like they're Nicky.
23:24
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, maybe I shouldn't have said that.
23:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, let's go and let's stay in.
23:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And then any quick thoughts on it?
23:31
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it, that's not what Nicky did, man.
23:34
[SPEAKER_00]: on Eric McColley on Toronto Arsets podcast.
23:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe he was on it yesterday.
23:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't listen to it, but just kind of like the highlights of talk about David David.
23:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I words like, and that's that's the thing.
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I don't think.
23:49
[SPEAKER_00]: people even like a casual, like not casual, like even like a sickle, like Greg Rosenthal of NFL Daily, people don't understand how bad that left guard position was last season.
23:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you, like you don't understand.
24:01
[SPEAKER_00]: David Edwards doesn't need to come in here and be like an all pro left guard, but if he's like a pro bullish or even just a good to very good guard, like people do not understand how much that raises the level of the line as a whole.
24:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Bro, it's it's unbelievable.
24:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Saints friends like go out because that kid film watches go out.
24:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He got to get you to yeah David that was on there and they just gone through some of his bills tape going through and just breaking down what he's seeing and man that do I do I do on like football like you is like on one 50 bro like on a different level here.
24:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And what's crazy is that's what Eric McCoy talked about on like
24:44
[SPEAKER_01]: on a, to ride on state podcasts out like the first day initially like that dude, so intelligent, cause usually, you know, using the centers that are usually like, yeah, because they're making the calls and every year.
24:56
[SPEAKER_01]: But everyone's he's like right there to making the calls.
24:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So everyone calls like, man, that's just going to be great for him, because it's got somebody that could just kind of like, you could confirm and double check all these little things you could do on the offensive line, picking up blitzers, keeping up stunts, linebackers,
25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So every car just sounded excited, bro.
25:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this excited about the addition.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: That got like between Louise and we're done slash pinning last year, bro.
25:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it was awful, bro.
25:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
25:25
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the first guard tandem in the league.
25:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And now you upgrade net from like, worsening the lead to, I don't know, top 10 in the league.
25:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Or whatever, you know what I'm saying?
25:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the top 10 guard position.
25:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you're cooking.
25:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Now where we still there, where we're working, bro.
25:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Trying to try to get that.
25:45
[SPEAKER_01]: He's trying.
25:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's trying.
25:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's been six years from like six fucking years.
25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, go try somewhere else.
25:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, again, the Jeremiah right select like when that pick happening in the fourth round, which is funny, because like my tweet before round three started was like, Oh, we getting the season where we
26:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But it, two things.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It allows the team to bring Jeremiah right slowly.
26:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a rarer prospect.
26:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He played defensive tackle.
26:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He hasn't been playing right guard that long.
26:26
[SPEAKER_00]: He can kind of bring him up slowly and let Caesar just be there.
26:29
[SPEAKER_00]: This is even like the transition year.
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see like sometimes we're not saying this is gonna be right.
26:35
[SPEAKER_00]: But like sometimes we're guard for like, they get a training kick.
26:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we saw we're pro next.
26:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Who was a much better prospect than Dremar white?
26:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But sometimes when he was out there, we had what I've seen, were showers out there, we had what's just a little young do name of Simkins with him out there.
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess as a UDF paper, we had them out this time once.
26:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Shit boy, let the electric boy, you got the intelligence of Eric McCoy right this a little far and David, it was maybe you could carry a guy like Jeremiah right, you know what I'm saying?
27:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Because okay, you don't have to figure out everything, just like him.
27:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Fuck him, why kill?
27:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And he should be able to do that.
27:12
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a big doop, or it is.
27:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And his, you know, him be like his strength is in the, in the ring game.
27:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me just really quickly finish off the chat.
27:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Dante said, I wonder if it'll be another incentive rich deal for Cam.
27:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They tried to kill my wife.
27:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony said, makes me coys life easier to one, only one liability for him to try to make up for Louise instead of having to watch both sides,
27:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark, and this was a stat from NFL Daily, I think either Aldi Connelly said, yeah, it was Aldi Connelly.
27:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And average of nine different offensive line combos per team around NFL last year, that's crazy, bro.
27:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Easy, bro.
27:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyhow, we just wanted to get on here, discuss the AK situation.
27:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully we don't have to discuss it again if we are discussing it, like it's, it's final.
28:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We, he's either cut, he's gonna stay on the team, whatever it is.
28:07
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just talking about the theories and just this in-between that currently is lingering.
28:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But we wanted to get on here, talk about it, break it down.
