• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Rouge in the Zachary area. They've got a PGA toward
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: driving range, a short game practice area, thirty to forty
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: yard practice shots. It's a great place to chip and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: putt and practice. If you don't have time for a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: full round. Book your tea time today. Golf dot Brek
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: dot org. Golf dot brek dot org. There are two
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: names that I want to give you. And this isn't
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a test. You have to write this down. I'm just
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: making you aware because it's one thing when you go
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: through the pre draft process. If someone does that like
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: draft mock draft predictor machine, and then they screenshot the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: results and post it on Twitter and it's like, hey,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this is the mockdraft I put together. Awesome. I don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: really care. It's another thing when members of the New
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Orleans Saints organization are meeting with prospects that is very
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: relevant and you have my tension. Like today we learned
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints are going to host quin viewers
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: on a Top thirty visit. You only get thirty of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: those where you can bring a prospect to your facility.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The Saints are bringing Quinn Youewers here. They also had
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: dinner with him the night before their pro day last Monday.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: For his pro day last Monday, they are spending an
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: awful lot of time with Quinn Youewrs. That is worthy
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of our attention. There's two players that they're doing this
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with as well that aren't necessarily your top tier draft picks,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: but are names. I think you need to know one
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of them. Let's just be honest. He checks both boxes.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Tony Pauline of sports Skedia notes that at the o'ha
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: what what? Sports Skedia is a sports Skita that's objectively funny.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Sports Skeda that's a stupid name for well, Larry, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: he's got the report that at Ohio States Pro Day,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: yea day, Come on, give me we got one ding
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: go on. Defensive back Lathan Ransom is someone the Saints
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: were showing an interest in. Pauline wrote, quote Ransom as
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a cornerback safety hybrid who isn't a liability playing over
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the slot receiver. Spend time with the New Orleans Saints
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: at his pro day, who have shown an interest in
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the defensive back. Not only did Laithan Ransom attend the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Ohio State University, he also has a very impressive eight
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: point eight.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Four relative athletics score.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Give yourself a ding Ohio State high relative athletics score.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Welcome to New Orleans. Lathan Ransom, by the way, I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: love this. This was him at his pro day talking
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: about what makes him a great safety.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I think I deserve a spot on the team because
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go in there and be a locker room
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: guy first and foremost, be a god.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Should never have to worry about.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna know all the plays on Beyon time, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: then you're gonna get the hardest hated safety in the draft.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I love all of that. Listen, if you're trying to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: build culture with a new head coach, and you have
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a guy saying, and you're gonna get a team guy
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: who's on time, who's gonna know all the plays. Oh,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and you're getting the hardest hitting safety in the draft.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Check check check check check. I love all of that. Now,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: where that might fall in the draft, I don't know.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But when you look at LSU or LS, excuse me,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: when you look at the SAE, I'm thinking Ohio State
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: college on the brink. When you look at the Saints
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: defensive backs, Paulson of Deebos to the Giants. You traded
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Marshawn laddimoretal Washington. So both of your opening Week one
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: starting corners last year are gone. You've got kool aid
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and you've got a lante who both played outside. Now
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you moving a lante back to the slotter you're keeping
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: him out on the boundary. If you keep him out
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of the boundary, you need a slot and Lathan Ranson
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: could fill that void. Also, you signed Justin Reid. You've
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: got Tyron Matthew back. But this is potentially a guy
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that could play safety. If in fact this is Tyron
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Matthews last year in New Orleans, well see if that's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: how it plays out. But a versatile player who can
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: cover the slot, who can kick back and play safety,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: hard hitter, team guy, all that stuff, love it and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: went to Ohio State has a right high relative athletic score,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: so check check there. So Lathan Ransom from Ohio State
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: one name to keep in mind. The other is an
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: offensive player from pitt and it's their tight end Gavin Bartholomew,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: now Pitts tight end coach, Jacob Bronowski had this to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: say about about Bartholomew as a blocker in the run game.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And this is important because remember, this is a guy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: who is six five to sixty four. Look, you just
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: extended Juwan Johnson right past catching tight end. This is
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a guy who's six' five two sixty. Four here he
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: is as a, blocker really.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Good you, Know i'm taking in the fourth quarter he
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: turned out tape on Against North. Carolina i'm so proud
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of those, two you, know because they were finishing, blocks
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you know what it was downfield in the. Box it
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: was fun to, watch you. Know and Even gavin on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the on the the last touchdown running there That eli,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Had gavin rolls this guy in the end zone two
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: three yards and really really awesome. Block SO i really
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: proud of those, guys especially finish that game that way
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: on the. Road it doesn't you want to see Some so moving,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: forward REACH i continued to execute at that high level
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of the blocking for the run. Game.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Now jerry De paola of Trib Total media reported and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: was later confirmed By Nick underhill That saints tight end's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Coach chase Has a late Took bartholomew to dinner the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: night Before pitt's pro day On march twenty. Six so,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: again this isn't just somebody threw out a knock draft
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And bartholomew showed. Up The saints tight end's coach went
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: To pitt and took him to dinner the night before
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: his pro. Day there's. Interest you've Got Juwan johnson as
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a pass. Catcher this would qualify as the more physical
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: type tight end, who by the, way in twenty twenty,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: three averaged eighteen yards of. Catch this year we saw
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that number drop to eight point five per catch and four.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Touchdowns but still a guy that is a threat in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the receiving. Game but your big physical tight, end you've
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Got Juwan johnson. Back you just extended. Him Remember Foster,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: morrow as much as this may, Suck Foster morrow is
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: entering the final year of his contract and this is
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a non guaranteed. Year so if The saints Cut Foster,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: morrow he doesn't count Any there's no dead cap money
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on the. Books he's got four million in salary should
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he be on the. Roster but it's one of those
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: things Where foster is a cut. Candidate like we hate
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to say and think of it that, way But it's.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: True he's a guy that coming into this year wasn't
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: signed by the current. Staff they Extended Juwan, johnson Not
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Foster morow and he's gonna have to earn his. Spot
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: if they go draft a tight, end that could mean
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that's it For. Foster he's gonna have to go to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: camp and earn his earn his. Spot and it is
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: worth noting as well everywhere That Kellen moore has been
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: as inn oc or now as a head, coach but
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: really as AN ocu quarterbacks, coach they have featured the tight.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: End they Had Shulton, dallas he was In, look he
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: was IN la with The chargers for one. Year they
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Had Gerald everett And Donald. Partham you realize. THIS i
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: don't know IF i didn't realize, this SO i looked
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it up. Today ever had fifty one catches for four
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to eleven part them had twenty seven for two to eighty.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Five those guys combined the two tight ends for seventy
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: eight catches and seven hundred yards like that would have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: combined to be the second leading receiver on the team
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Behind Keenan allen that. Year the point is and Then,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Dallas goddard And. Philly, yes Like Kellen moore wants to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: use his tight end as an integral part in the.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Offense SO i believe fully these these thoughts about maybe
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it's maybe It's Tyler warren at, nine maybe It's Mason
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: taylor at, forty or maybe it's someone Like Gavin bartholomew
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: as A day three. Pick by the, way one more
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: about from Uh. Bronowski this is the pit tight ends.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Coach About bartholomew and his leadership, ABILITY.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I think he's been. Great you, know he's been really.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Positive he's you, know he's, uh he's been doing. More
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: he's been bringing other guys, along even wanting to meet

• 7:56
  Speaker 2: which is. Awesome you, KNOW i love that in a.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Room and then just in terms of the offensive young,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: days if it's a little bit solid practice that he's
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: being on the, high he's being. Voteal and then the
• 8:04
