• 1:19
  Speaker 1: When you're talking about the Saints off season, most of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that conversation revolves around Tyler Shutt going into year two
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback. His first full season. You saw
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: what he could do as a rookie and it was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: really good. Led you to four wins, four and one
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: record down the stretch, he put up really good numbers,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: showed off the use of the legs. All that with
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a mash unit around him at wide receiver end, up
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: front on the offensive line, and your quarterback is your franchise.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense when you have a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: guy going into his second.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Years the starter.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: You're looking for that jump and that's where the conversation
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is going to go. But he's not the only guy.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: There's another player at a franchise position that had an
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: awesome rookie season that's going into year two and you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: could see a breakout, a jump and establishment of him
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: at his position that we are not talking nearly enough about,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and that is Kelvin Banks, Junior Kelvin Banks, left tackle
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: for the New Orleans Saints, number nine overall pick.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Started every game for you there a year ago and
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: was really really good.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: CBS Sports put out a piece picking one under the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: radar breakout candidate for every NFC team. They put Kelvin
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Banks there. Now, kudos to them for not picking Tyler Shuck.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But even under the radar, I don't know if you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: could really say Kelvin Banks isn't under the radar player.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Give the rookie year that he had.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, Calvin Banks graded out as the number
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: twenty seven tackle in football PFF a year ago in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: his rookie season, not among rookies in the NFL who
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was a top thirty tackle his first year. As they
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: note in this CBS piece, he finished ahead of veterans
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: such as Dion Dawkins Ronnie Stanley, like highly regarded names
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League. When you do this, when
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you pair this down just four rookies, Calvin Banks rookie
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: offensive tackles who played a minimum of twenty snaps or
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: excuse me, a minimum of twenty percent of his snaps
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of the snaps, first team highest graded rookie. If you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: want to eliminate snap count like snap restrictions. He graded
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: out second seventy three. Seventy three point five was the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: grade for Calvin for Kelvin Banks a year.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Ago, and.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Man, it was it was balanced out. It wasn't just
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that he was awesome in run blocking. Wasn't just that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: he was awesome, you know, in past blocking he graded
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: out and you're at the top in all of it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: When you look at at the rookies, an offensive tackle
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: minimum twenty percent of the snaps. Kelvin Banks run block
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: grade was number two in the entire NFL among rookies
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: seventy six point one. His past block grade was number five.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And then as we said, overall he graded as the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: top guy. And that is so refreshing because the New
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Orleans Saints it's been a struggle at left tackle before
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Calvin Banks. You draft Trevor Pinning, put him over there,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that doesn't work. You move him over to right tackle.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: When you draft Talifuwanga put him at left tackle. He
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was good, but it wasn't necessarily what you were hoping
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for at the highest level. You move him over to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: right tackle. Then you alsoly move Trevor Pinning to guard.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You send him packing at trade deadline. You draft Calvin Banks.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: He does what he does for you in year one,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and now you go into year two, and there's a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: lot of reasons to be excited about him in year two.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He met with the media back on June fourth, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: one of these things is this is Kelvin banks first
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: full NFL offseason, and he talks about how big that's.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Been for him and his development going into year two.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been great, especially because I can fully focus
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: on football and you know, like they say, not running
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: forties and not doing all these calling jokes and stuff
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: like that. It's been good, especially like getting the full
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: off season, get into a full workout training regiment and
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: stay on it consistently. Base are real good, especially making
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: sure I get my body back right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He's there, Hey, you're not training for the fortymore. You're
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: not doing track workouts, right, cone drills, none of that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You've got your spot. You performed great. You have a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: full NFL offseason, your first one test, he said, get
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the body right and be ready to go.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: The other thing that I really like for Calvin.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Banks is what the Saints did at left guard. It
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: was a revolving door in his rookie year playing next
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to He played next to a revolving door.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: We just talked about Trevor Pinning.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: You kicked him down to guard and then you send
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: him packing at the trade deadline.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: You went out.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You brought in a veteran like David Edwards. Oh yeah,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he's getting up there in age. That's fine, but that's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a leader who carries all the intangls when we've heard
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we've heard Kellen Moore rave about David Edwards and what
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he brings to the communication level. He's a quarterback out
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: there calling things out. Just go watch the tape of Buffalo, right,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That's what Kellen Moore said. So we know that you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: bring in that veteran to play next to Calvin Banks,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and it's something that he highlighted. His comfortable playing next
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to Edwards so far, even just to Ota is when
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: there's no contact, it's been great.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Man. He's a great communicator, so he communicates a lot
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: throughout the players and even during players after play who's
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: always communicating. So it's been a real easy process of
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: being able to plug him plug plug him in at
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: left guard, and we just jailed like that for.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: All the talk about the help that the Saints got
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: That's a massive help that they.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Just got what is hopefully their franchise left tackling Kelvin
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Banks because you just heard him talk about communication all that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: David Edwards is the other thing is he's durable. He's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: been very durable in his career. So hopefully you can
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: get a couple full seasons out of Banks and Edward's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: playing next to each other and you have a very
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: formidable left side of your offensive line. But that's also
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: just a veteran that can bring Calvin Banks along, take
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: him under his wing, and really teach him the.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Ways of the NFL. You have to love that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And lastly, Banks talked about just his overall comfort, comfort
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: level with the offensive line unit that they've brought in
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and now going into year two.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: The comfortability with the old line, and I feel like
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: it's always been that's always been a steady face. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: mean since coming in as a rookie the first day here.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Guys make it make it easy for you to kind
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: of come into our brotherhood and come into a situation
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: where you know you're gonna work hard, but also you
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: know everybody's gonna have fun and You're gonna be a
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: tight group. So it's definitely a comfortable, comfortable situation to
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: be in for sure.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Calvin Banks, New Orleans Saints.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: They've wrapped up OTAs they will turn their attention out
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to mandatory mini camp that gets underway on Tuesday of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: next week.
• 9:46

• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Calvin Banks, he's a franchise player too, He's part of
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that looking for a big year. Two out of the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: former ninth overall pick. All right, we're gonna grab a break.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: We will come back on the other side. We still
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have just a lot to get to you. There's a
