• 2:07
  Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever been as excited to see
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: a guard get signed as I have.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Over the last twenty four hours. For the New Orleans Saints.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: It was a position of desperate need and you go
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: get the top guy on the market and you get
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: him for a pretty nice price.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: There. What a win for Mickey Loomis and the Saints.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's huge.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm hearing myself back through here, and and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I can't talk right now, can you guys, call.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Me on the way. We'll call you on the phone. Yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: we'll call you. We'll make sure we go. We'll get
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: that done. He's like allowed myself to hear myself. What's
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: going on with our tech?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Ever since we put in these new cough drops.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: They looked very flustered.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: He looked like he had seen a ghost.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: He heard his voice for the first time. I feel
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: every time I hear my voice.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Well, so I when I first when I first moved here,
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: I still did my Shreveport show before it was syndicated,
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Like I just I did it, and then I do
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: this show, and I used to do it down in
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: the old ESPN studio. Well, they could never figure out
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: why I was getting feedback, so I would actually the
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: entire show. I would hear feedback on a one second
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: delay from what I was saying. So I was doing
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: it where I'd say something, take the headphone off, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: then put it back on. I did that for like months,
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: and they told me they couldn't figure it out.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: It feels like an easy fix. Yeah, there's a new
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: updated chord.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: They never did. But anyways, we got Nick Underhill Newman's
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Football with us. Now Nicholas how you doing, glad we
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: got you on the phone. Sorry about that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: The New Orleans Saints sign a guard and they desperately
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: needed to sign a guard. They got the best guard
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: available and they got him for a pretty good price.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, definitely like one of those moves that just
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: makes you feel better about the whole entire operation. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think David Edwards is like a savior. I
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: don't think he's a top ten guard in the NFL
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: or anything like that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Like I think he's really good.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I think he's the right age.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I think he's a very.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Good player, but just like in terms of what was
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: available out there, he was the premier piece, and I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: think you go get him, and I think what he
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: does is that it's a definitive problem solver. It works,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's you don't have to worry about guard anymore. If
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that's like he thrives in the system and all that stuff,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, fits in a launch some other guys
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and they become a really good group. But it just
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: feels like the guy at that right age, at that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: right price, at that right talent level, where like all
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the accesses met and you go out and you get
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: them and it's not like a reckless signing. It's it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it's foundational, it's it's the right timeline, it's all these things,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and and I just you know, that's the spot where
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I don't want him to play around. Looks like you
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: can't afford to have those kind of variances there when
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you're trying to get a rookieker. Well, now it's teching
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: your quarterback settled in. And you know, I think he
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: egoes a long way toward doing that. And in terms
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: of passpro, like sujer Reeves's issues aren't really in past pro.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I think he's decent there. It's the run blocking with
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: them that that needs to be way way better. So
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I think, like past pro all five, if Banks takes
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that step that you're you're looking for him to take,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: if Fuaugus Sting's healthy, Edwards it's McCoy's I guess. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: guess as we're going through it, there's still a decent
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: amount of ifs. But I think overall, like the pieces
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of that for them to actually be pretty good, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you're not putting in your hopes to Trevor Penning anymore,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: who I can't believe he signed on day one a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: free agency by the way, But yeah, I think I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: think that that was a huge move for them, Like
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: it's it's shifting it and it settles like the most
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: unsettling spot on the team.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Nick, So I'm watching I think I was watched
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Pat McAfee yesterday while I was sitting in my office
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and I'm watching, like just the news flood in, like
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: there was something happen in every thirty seconds, it seemed
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: like and like to my shock in all and and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I was very happy about it. Like a lot of
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Saints news came in within that first hour. So the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Saints make three, I least three moves like within that
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: first hour, which tells me they got they identified somebody
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that position, they made the move, they made the offer
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: and signed their first choice. And there's we just talked
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: about David Edwards at guard a punter, Ryan right, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: then Travis Etn of course at running back. So it's
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: like it to me, it seems like they identified somebody
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the top on their list and they got it done
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: within the first hour of this thing.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Open it up.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So is that how you like saw the whole thing
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: going down yesterday?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Actually, yeah, I mean, like those those are the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: two guys leaving the combine that that we really felt
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: like these these are the guys that are gonna end
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: up go getting is Uh at the end and Edwards
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: were the two guys that I thought they would definitely target.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: The punter surprised me. It's like going out and getting
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: right that that didn't That wasn't necessarily something that I was.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: There was like four punters like the first hour yesterday.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like Gillikim was one of them, and that's something
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that they absolutely had to do though, like that that's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: gonna be if he's the guy he was in Minnesota. Like,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I think you just solved one of your other biggest problems.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: The way they approach special teams last year was embarrassing.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And that's a whole different conversation. But yeah, look, the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: running back I think makes a ton of sense too.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: And I think the thing.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: That that makes the most sense here is well here
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: let me ask you guys this, going back to twenty
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: twenty two, how many thirty yard runs do you think
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the Saints have had by a running back?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, by a running back, I would say
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: less than five. It feels like, I mean, I know
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: that number is incredibly low.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: But the way that question is one one okay wow.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And the runner was odric Es today. So there are
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: one thirty yard run since twenty twenty two, and you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: at the end and he's got twelve over the same sping,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: he's got a seventy yarder, So I think you get
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: a home run hitter there. So that's that's one part
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: of it. And then the other thing too is last year,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of Tuesday mornings we were talking
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: about the wrong game, and the thing I kept staying is, boy,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: they keep trying to run inside zone from shotgun and
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that's it's not Alvin Kamares game. If you do the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: breakdown to all his runs by type and formation, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that that's his absolute worst run. It's it's the thing
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: at the end does best like he's excellent at that,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and that's where he thrives from. So I think, you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to your point, like that identified a guy that fit
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and then they go out and get them, which yeah,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: obviously that that's what you should be doing. But you
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: know a lot of times in pre agency you see
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: people just making splashes and going for guys, and you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: they just collect players and kind of hope for the best.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Like I think the Saints are being aggressive, but I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: think they're being really smart about it too, And like
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it just feels a little bit tailored made all the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: way across the board, and you know, it's gonna be
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: interesting to see how those two fit together. You know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I think that there's a very tailored role for album
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: where I think he can still be a very, very
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: excellent player. You know, you kind of get him in
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: those right spots. The outside zone is what he's really
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: good at. Get him out there and that I think
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you can put both those guys on the field and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: kind of create some stuff formationally, And now you got
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: two tight ends too with with Juwan and Fant. I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of stuff you can do to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: open up the field with those guys and kind of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: get the personnel out there on defense that you want
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and then dictate some of the auction. So I think
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: it just opens up a lot of creativity. But also,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: like the Olvin situation, you know, I don't know for
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a reason he leaves, we shouldn't or if you're trying
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to connect dots because he's twenty nine. But like the
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: way they handled this contract and then bringing in this
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: guy like it it looks it looks you know, there's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: at least as a reporter, you got to say, huh,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: like I wonder what's going on here, Like.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Is there something going on?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Sometimes there's not. Often there's not, but it certainly has
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a rock there now that I'm trying to look on
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: her and figure out what's going on, Like, it does
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: feel different. So we'll kind of see how that goes.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think with those two guys, I think
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: your offense has changed. And then on top of that,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like man, one of the things they really did great
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: last year I thought was was attacking up the seams
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: like that was that was the play every time they
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: came out in the third quarter. It's like, wow, why
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: are they all of a sudden moving the ball And
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it's like they just started viciously attacking them teams. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I think you got too of those guys now with
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Fan and Juwan. The thing I like about don't again
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: with the whole fit thing. That was the guy they
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: were trying to sign last year. They brought him in
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: for a visit and he just ended up picking since
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati instead, So like, you know, it's a guy you
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: identified that was available nine a year later, like he's
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: still you know, on your radar as a guy. It
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: wasn't just like a we need it tight and it
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: was like, no, they actually like this guy and they're
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: bringing him in four point five forty many years ago.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: But I mean that's a lot of speed, he blocks,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: he's a solid receiver. So I think I think now
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: just your offense isn't just all eleven personnel, or when
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you go twelve it isn't you know, you got one
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: tight on that can catch a pass. Like I think
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff they can do now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Nick Underhill New Ones dot Football as our guest here
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: on OTB. All right, so after free agency now we're
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: kind of turning our attention maybe to the draft, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: they're still going to be more in free agency certainly,
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: but after day one, what does that do for the
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: same draft we were talking about it a little bit earlier.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: I know there's teams that are certainly right behind in
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: New Orleans that have major positions of need that the
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Saints also kind of have a need there, and so
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: they could be a team that teams could try to
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: call it to try to trade with in the draft,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: just not Mickey's m O. We know that, but we're
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: talking about maybe Monsieur de Laine out of LSU. Maybe
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: corner you lose Alante Taylor there, you need somebody that's
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: the top tier corner. Where do you think they turned
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: their attention to coming up in April?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he becomes more interesting. He was always someone that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I you know, he's not next, like, he's definitely in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: that bubble of guys you're looking at at eight. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I can see that for sure, you know, I do
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: think what I've heard is that their preference for there's
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: slot players that is more of a safety text that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: they wanted to be more of like a you know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: an overhand type player that can do some stuff there.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: So I don't know how that attects things. But if
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you can get a top tier corner, like I think
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: there's room for competition, even as much as that I
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: like Calloyd and Quincy Riley like, I think there's definitely competition,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: even if it's just just some of those outside spots.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So my door will be open to that. My door
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: is wide open to sunny styles, especially now you know
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that the Mario's gone.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: You know, look, I don't think it closes the door to.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Anything, honestly, Like I would still all the guys I
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: was looking at before, I'm still looking at And if
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you think Jeremiah Love is far and away the best player,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: like just drafted, who cares if you already got two guys.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: One of them's out of here in a year twenty seventeen.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: They signed Adrian Peterson. They had mark Ingram in his
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: prime new contract. I think he signed that in fifteen,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: so he's still on a fresh deal. And they didn't
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: just draft out and they traded back in to get them,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and you know that worked out pretty well too, So
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: just get the absolute best player you can. I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: they're in a position now where they can really do
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: that in the first two rounds. I don't think you're
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: pigeonholed to anything, but I think you're still wide open
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: enough that you can do anything. I think they're kind
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of in an advantageous situation in terms of building because
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: like it isn't how you got to get to tackle.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: You know, going to trade up a week before the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: draft and we're just gonna take whatever it's and it's
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Trevor Penning, like you know, you don't you don't need
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to approach it like that. So I think they can
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: still kind of do anything. You know, I badly need
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the the the wide receiver still, I think that's that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a major need. But I think they can do anything.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I like delaying there quite a bit. I mean,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I think that's a position where they can get a
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: lot better at.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: And I was definitely surprised that a want they.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Got twenty million a year. But good for him. I
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: just don't think he was worth that to the Saints.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: What kind of deal do you think the Saints offered
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: to Mario Davis to stay?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think. I don't think they probably overextended
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: themselves too much. I mean, eleven millions a decent amount,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: but it's not that that's not a number. If you
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: pulled me a week ago, I wouldn't have thought it
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: was preventative. I'm not gonna lie, like, I'm really surprised
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: he went to the Jets, like I thought. I thought
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: he was gonna lead, but I thought it was going
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: to be the like the Rams or something like that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: The Jets was was surprising to me. So I mean
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: that that kind of tells me a couple of things
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: like I don't think that they were fighting to keep
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: them too too art Like I think they wanted to
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: keep them. But you know, they can say whatever they
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: want at a podium, but like your actions or your
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: actions and your actions are the truth. And you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: they didn't want to go to twelve million dollars a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: year or whatever. And it's tough, like you know, if
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you're a team in their situation, like it's it's I
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: It's just kind of hard to articulate because like I.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Don't want to sound like I'm coming down on him
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: or anything like that. Like a great player, great locker
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: room guy, Hall of Famer, Ring of Honor, Saints Hall
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of Famer, can'ton Like I really think he's done enough
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to get into the actual Hall of Fame. You know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I think he's you know, people I've watched just my
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: actual lifetime, Like I can't go back to the seventies
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and you know, all these great linebackers back down, but
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: in my lifetime, a top five linebacker. I also think
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: if you're a team that's in the middle of a rebuild,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: if they had signed a thirty seven year old that
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: played for a different team, we.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Would have been like what are they doing?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: You know, like I know it's your own guy, so
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit different. But I'd rather object.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: A year earlyer than a year late, like where they're at.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Right now, you know, in twenty eighteen, if if you're
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a super Bowl contender, like I'd rather be maybe late
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: on some of those things then early, because you're you're
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: trying to maximize your your today. But I think the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: saint's got to be thinking about tomorrow as well as
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: today right now. And you know, I just don't know.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what year two of that looks like.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: And you drafted Danny Stutsman.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: You're trying to get him in there.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: You're trying to see what he looks like. So I mean,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: like there's things that makes sense here to me. And
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I also at the same time, I think it's a
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: catastrophic loss just in terms of like identity, you know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: because it's can still a free agent too, like if both.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Those guys leave, like who are you? Who are your leaders?
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Like you got read and you know, I don't think
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: there's anyone else like.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: That that I that I really look at.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Is this guy's a leader on the team most times
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: of the ball pots from Moreau was like the leader
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: of the offense. You know, I don't know if he's
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: coming back now that they got fan, So I don't
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: know where the leadership is at all on this team
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: right now. So I mean, I think that's a bigger
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: deal to me than maybe the the the on field.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I think you can replace the onfield, you know, I
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: think they'll obviously be a little bit worse.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: I think I think there's.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Probably a reality where if their lock backers don't work out,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: like their run defense could be a disaster because like
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: their front wasn't great and they were winning a lot
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: on run defense because to Mario is so great at
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: diagnosing and anticipating.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: But I don't think the range is quite there the
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: way it was either. It's like, you know, I don't
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: think he allowed a lot of bleeding. That like when
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: he allowed bleeding, it probably bled a little bit more
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: than then it than it should have, you know, And
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: we'll to see where that access goes going for But look,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: if he told me he gets another two year deal
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: after this one, I would absolutely believe it. Because of
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: the way he takes care of his body, the way
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: he prepares all that stuff, and you know, I think
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I think even is that going back like to what's
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: lost Like that example, I think is a huge loss,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: even even beyond the on field. So I think it's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: it's all the stuff behind the scenes that scares me
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: more than like what's on the field. So yeah, uh.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like action speaks for the Saints, like you
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: really can't hear what you're saying, Like nobody's choosing the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Jets over a team that they're going to be in
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor for like if it's a competitive offer,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: So that tells me there was not a competitive offer
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: from this.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: I agree on hundred percent.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like exactly, like if if it's a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: ton of a million and you got a team on
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: its way to winning versus where are the Jets doing?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: By the way, like this is this is exactly the
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: example too.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Like you don't want to be making a move.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Like that to try to save yourself, like because the
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: head coach in the GM are praid to getting fired,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: so they're signing a thirty seven year old from another team,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: But you don't want to be that team. That's not
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: what you want to be building your roster, right, now
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked on all ends on that, like why why
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: are the Jets making that move? And like why is
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the Mario going there?
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean it does. Yeah, it tells you
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: that the market isn't quite what it was.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And the most desperate team made the most desperate offer.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: And you know, I'm just I'm just really.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Surprised that he's going there. But but he's you know,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: he deserves it. He's at the end of his career,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: like set up your security, and you know, I can't
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: argue with the logic, but I was surprised by it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: We were talking a little bit earlier because Okay, he
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: goes to the Jets, what do you do at linebacker?
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: Like Sessimen doesn't seem like somebody that's ready to be
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: the full time Mike linebacker.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: You've got some options.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: You've got a Bobby Wagner, Levonte, David kay Nellis reunion.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: There's guys out there that you can sign to a
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: one two year deal that would be that veteran presence
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: to kind of replace what the Mario Davis was for you.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: And we talked about the leadership role just then as well.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: They give you kind of both of those things. Is
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: that the path you see the Saints going down.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I think they could definitely added that position. I know
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: there's like a lot of Davin Lloyd Grummers. I have
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a pretty pretty strongly that they that they were not
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: in that market. So I don't think they were kicking
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the wheels there at all. But I can definitely see
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: him making a move there. And I think I think
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: probably the next couple of days, like I think we're
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: probably going to see some defense editions. I won't be
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: surprised to see a kicker and our returner added to
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the team too. And as it pertains to the draft,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I think I think probably you know, the odds of
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you know, if there's a point flip, I think defense
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: probably wins early. Now just give them what you've kind
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: of done offensively. But like I'm I'm pleased with the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: way they're building the team because like badline to me,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: like everything is what are they doing for the young quarterback?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: And you know, I have major concerns about the defense
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: that we already you lost, you lost the corner and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you lost the linebacker. Like their defense is objectively gonna
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: be worse right now until they make other moves. So Yeah,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I think they're definitely gonna do some things. I think
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: they got to add to it, and I wouldn't be
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: surprised at all to see just even if it's it's
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: like a mid gear linebacker that you're.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Like, all right, well, this guy gives like a decent
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: base one like a AJ.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Clin type player, Like you put him out there, probably
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: not gonna define your defense, but he's gonna at least
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: plug the gap and then Stutsman can compete with him
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and either he beats him out or he doesn't, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you're okay either way. Like I think at the very
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: least that needs to happen. Now, if you have a
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: chance to elevate there, I think you've got to take it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, both those spots man like they're and those.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Are the two energy players too. On the defense, the
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Mario brought his own.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Brand of energy. You know, I think it was like
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: kind of like having the Angel and the double energy,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Like I think, you know, the Mario brought the God
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: energy and the and a lot they brought the demon energy,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: but like where's the energy on the defense, And I
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: think that really matters too.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all Nick, let's get the let's get the free agency,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Crystal ball out god, Nick prediction, Nick stra damis here
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: we go? What other Yeah, workshopping yesterday whatever? What other
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: moves do you see them making? What positions you see
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: them making? If any?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think they're gonna get a kicker.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I think they need to get a returner. You know.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I think, like I was saying, like the way they
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: approach special teams last year was was was borderline embarrassing.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: You know, they tried with the pineer saw getting credit
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: for that. You know, Kicker went sideways on them.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: But like you cut J. T.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Gray, you change schemes, all your special teams, linebackers no
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: longer fit and get cut and you just had a
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: bunch of guys out there and it was a disaster.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Like so they got it. They got him on the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: backs there, like that's that's a bad area. And they
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: already have so so on that you know, that's a plus.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I think we'll see some.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Type of receiver too somewhere. I know they got a
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: bunch of lottery tickets on the on the.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Roster, but they got to get somebody else there. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I think just that that that linebacker at some level,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I think that's definitely something they got to do too. Also,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the rundown of moves that you were talking about before
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: we short changed John Ridgeway, that was the Vergers. They
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: made a free agency.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they resigned the backup VP for for like six
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: million bucks over two years. So uh, that was that
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: was wild. Like all these moves are hitting. Then it's
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: like John.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Ridgeway, it's like all right, like this is where it's
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: sorry John, John?
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Uh, when's the fullback signing?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: They don't use the fullback?
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Man, I don't care when sid did you see.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: That the Morgan Freeman documentary. I'm that flicked about dinosaurs,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Like there.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Was a okay, hey, the team that you cover didn't
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: make the postseason.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Nice of you as a guest.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: There was four teams left in the postseason. Three of
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: them carried fullbacks.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: A Super Bowl champion kept two fullbacks on their fifty
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: three main roster the entire season.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Both one seeds had a fullback. So hey, maybe the
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Saints could learn something, Nick.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should send in some video to morg and
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: you can like narrate you in your natural environment.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Like this very very Yeah, you're right, and then we'll
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: have both fullbacks hold up the Lombardi Trophy at the
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: end of the year.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: The final scene, both of them. I don't know, I'm sorry,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: I think I'm sorry. I got apologize for my co
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: host here.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: It's really oh so, eighty five percent of the teams
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: that made the postseason carried a fullback.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: And then we want to talk about the top ten pick.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I'll give it you the the Kubiak Shanahan offense.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Like you know, they've brought you guys back to life
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit. There's a little bit of gloria there.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, alec Ingols tign's seven and a half million dollars yesterday.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: But anyways, all right, Nick, we appreciate you, Thank you, sir.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: We'll catch up again next week. An I guess you
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: to hate championships.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: That's weird. Brought them back to life. There's a fullback like.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: Eagles signed for two year, seven and a half million
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: dollars with the Los Angeles Chargers yesterday.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: M Like the dinosaurs, though, there's a they made the playoffs.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: The mosquito that was you hate winning? That's fine. A
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: fossil and what is it is? It was it amber?
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: It's an old sap so.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: You're telling John Snyder doesn't know how to do his
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: job when he had two full backs.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: That's weird.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Both one seeds had a full back. Both teams in
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl had a full back.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: That's weird.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Sensitivity fun, No, just sticking up from my people, the
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: loyal lawyers deal sensitivity.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: We know everybody's got to have a quarterback. A couple

• 26:41
  Speaker 3: ROWSS dot com.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: USA.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Don't give me that one second. I'm start calling you
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: musso can't figure out the tech over there.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: USA.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: In the World Baseball Classic, Yeah, they defeat Mexico for
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: the first time in a long time. Mexico kind of
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: had their numb in baseball a lot like US has
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: their number in soccer. But they finally get it done.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: I believe five to three was the final score. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: that was that was very fun to watch last night.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: Stayed up right before you go to bed, see the
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: little Team USA action.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: There's a couple of brawls in the stance. Yeah, I
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: did see that. That's pretty good videos.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: But look, the World Baseball Classic has been a lot
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: of fun, a lot of emotion, a lot of passion.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: We talk about it all the time. We played like
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: the literal one professional sport. You can't really represent your
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: country in which kind of sucks. Always wanted to do that,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: but it's so cool to see the passion that everybody has.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: And by the way, I do want to talk about
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: the players trying to shake the catcher's hands and the
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: catchers saying no, and everybody kind of getting up in arms,
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: because yesterday there was a pair of Seattle Mariner teammates
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: that the batter tried to shake the catcher's hand.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: He's like, no, and what's going on here?
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: Well, the reason is the catcher doesn't want to get
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: pine tar on his hand and then get it on
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: the ball and then throw it back to the ball.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: Then the picture is in the situation because there's a
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: substance on the ball on his hand, and so it
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: makes a lot of sense. Whenever they actually break it down,
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: there's no beef between teammates, like I didn't want to
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: get a bunch of pine.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know there. I mean, you could fist bump,
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: you could bump. He stuck his hand out, so that's yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: But there's a lot of awkward white guy handshakes out there,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: like you could fist bump.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: He didn't want to be a meme.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: And then his teammate after the game actually talked a
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: lot of ish about him and told him to g
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: t H.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Basically, g t H no, go to H double hockey sticks,
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, you want to get Pine Taro's hand, chill
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: out brou Here is an incredible video.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: Don't like video. I don't know.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: We were doing a video, so I.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Had to get this sound good.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Here is an incredible video of Paul Skeins warming up
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: to the top theme music.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: Ah, that's fantastic. Of course, mos Kans Air Force, the
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Air Force baseball team was in a tip. The entire
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: air well fantastic.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: There's two players that had experienced playing for the Air Force,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: so clearly he wanted to do that, that to that song,
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: even though like you know, top guns far the Navy.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: But still that's fine. Planes find the air yeah, ah,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: so good. Even he goes out there and like strikes
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: out seven and four innings. Yeah, strikes out the most
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: of by any US pitcher in the last like three
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: World Baseball Classics.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: So it did pretty decent.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Just on another level, I think, and yesterday, like he
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: plays with the Pirates, so of course here at LSU,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: we all know him and people know him because of
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: the cy Young But I don't know if people it's
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: kind of like Trout and show Hey when they were
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: the Angels, Like I don't know if people all over
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: the country if I sat down and watched him pitch
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: in a big time game before ever outside of Louisiana
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and outside of Pirate fans, right.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: I mean there's not really any big games that the
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Pirates are in.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like like a governor on him and they like they.
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: Traded McCutchen or they didn't re sign McCutchen, which I
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: don't know what that organization is doing, but well.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: I mean they're like one of the worst in the history.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: But it was just funny, like to see their response
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: about skiing on social media, Like I know Kevin Durant
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: was in the stands because they kept showing it, but
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: like he tweeted out like now Skins is a dog
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: like like people is the first time people are watching
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: him pitch.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: He's like he does this every time he goes out there.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: Welcome to Paul Skins.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Welcome to Paul Skins.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: See the.
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: Paul Skin's notorious for being just straight faced, no emotions,
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: like just a very serious about his business.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Guy.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: Did you see him smiling at your boy yesterday? Bobby
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: with guy? Maybe you could find I don't know if
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: we've ever seen Paul Skins smile before. It was not
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: even after winning.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: But yeah they have, Like there was a going on
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: social media, was like a still shot with him like
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: sitting next to.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: But he got drafted or something like that.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, was like sitting there to be.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Fair, I think that's actually when he won Rookie of
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the it was it was there's nobody was getting drafted
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: by the pirates.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: Well there was one where he got drafted and then
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: like the rook in the year one was when he
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: like made an effort to not look that way speaking.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Of the Rookie of the Year, was like was effortlessly
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: pitching out there, Like that's what makes it so cool.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not just the emotion, but it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: Looks so his mechanics are unreal.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think that's what I mean, he's going
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: to place. That's why we said, like those small boys
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: need to be pitching in the high nineties.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Look at this right when he that's as much as
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: you're getting to your point about no small boys. Somebody
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: in the chat made a good point.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: They're like Paul Skins left the Air Force because he
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: realized he's too big to be a fighter.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Bout right. Well, so I see like so huks playing baseball.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: So I get a lot of these youth baseball things
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: fed to me, Like I see a lot of these
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: high school kids that are throwing like ninety eight, ninety nine,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and it looks like so hard. Yeah, like their arms
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: about to rip off their their shoulder when they're doing this,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: at least their elbow and then but you see Paul
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Skins doing like he's a bigger guy. His mechanics are
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: perfect and it's just very effortless. Like you if you
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: get effortlessly, do you should do it? If you have
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: to create it with so much whip that you're you're
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: not gonna be able to lift your arm up at
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: thirty like, you shouldn't do it, Well, you should just
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: stayed until.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: Thirty Yeah, you should read hug his letter that he
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: wrote to the little leaguers who did Player's Tribune.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh I did, and see that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: It's good. The Players Tribune is such a good platform
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: that they made.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: I agree hardly.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: I I love the Players Tribute.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: I would love for a Louisian sports dot net to
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: have something like if we could partner.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I know it's hard to partner now in il Ah,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: but if like we could partner. I thought about that,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: if we could partner with LSU athletes or Louisiana athletes
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: didn't have to be LSU to like do something like
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: that once every however so often every couple of weeks.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: I think that would be well received. Yeah, I don't know.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe I love it. I enjoy reading it. I don't
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: read a lot I read that.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure Derek Jeter is the one who made it,
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: the players rebuting.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Captain.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I loved the game last night. Well, bab was awesome.

  Speaker 7: good card to have right now.

  Speaker 5: Bobby Jr. Case at a lot of times, and I
• 34:35

  Speaker 1: by Community Steel.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: All right, welcome back in o t B here live
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: from the Raisin Kanes Studio. Tuesday shows brought to you
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: by Community Steel. Community Steel co dot Com is the website.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: Check it out today right here in Gonzales, Louisiana. I
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: would assume later on today typically happens this way. Because
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: we're the morning show, we get it.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: There's going to be another wave of free agent signings
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League looking forward to that.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Some of the big spenders in the first day.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: The Saints were included in that list, but the Raiders,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: they spent dollar dollar bills.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: They spent more than Titans.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: You want to talk about completely resetting the market for Sinners,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: Tyler Lindenbaum, I mean, they blew past whatever the previous
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: record was, and so the Raiders, and I actually think
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: they had to I talked about this on NFL Radio yesterday.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: They didn't really have a choice. They kind of had
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Like Fernando Mendow is going to be their one overall pick.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: Ashon genty is a top ten back. You have a
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: lot of assets in like you had to fortify the
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: offensive line. You didn't really have a choice. So you
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: go pay Tyer Lindenbaum more than any Sinners ever made
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: by a lot. You're probably gonna draft one at fourteen
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: with the pick you got for Max Crosby. After us,
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: like Fernando Mendows is number one overall, because even if
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: you have other needs, you have to protect your biggest assets,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: which are going to be the quarterback you took one
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: to one and the running back you took in the
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: top ten.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: This is a I didn't even know this about this,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Tyler Linderbaum. Three year, eighty one million dollars to play
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: the center position. Now, the center, don't get it twisted.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: The Raiders, by the way, to your question, they spent
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: three hundred and twenty two million dollars on eight players.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: The Titans spent two hundred and seventy million on seven players.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: The center position is wildly important. Yep. They have to
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: be smart like so I was like I was.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Always The notion was the closer you get to the ball,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: the higher football IQ you have to have. There's more
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: things you have to know. So of course the centers
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: center the quarterback thing. Only two people that touch the
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: ball every single play. The center position is wildly important.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: The center position is not as important as the Raiders
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: just made it three years, eighty one million dollars.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: They have a lot of money to spend. They had
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: like the top three cap.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: I got it, I got you. But at the center position,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know who they were bidding against. For one,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: he gets paid way more than any center ever has,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: so I don't know who they're if they're rewarding him
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: or what. But the center from a physical standpoint is
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: probably the I don't even want to say the easiest position,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: because they're all really hard. It's the least hard position physically,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: you get the least amount of one on one battles,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: you get help from me to guard on either side
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: of you. I've I was just part of multiple teams
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: that had experienced other alignment and would throw in a
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: rookie or young guy center who was smart and could
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: make all the calls. They could handle anything, but with
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: the help that they get on their left and right
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: shoulder all the time. Hey, if you're paying twenty five
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: plus million dollars, you need to Usually that consists of
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: a guy that has to be physically more. I will
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: say I was in the completely different scenario.
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: We had Nick Hardwick, who was like a very veteran player,
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: all Pro pull Bowl guy, and then we had Dan Copen,
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: who was Tom Brady center for a long time, and
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: then he came to us in Denver at the end
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: of his career.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I was in a different situation. I've certainly heard of
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: situations like you're talking about, and that's fine, but like
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: still to pay him that much above market value? Was
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: he that important? Like because I was like in Seattle,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Max Hunger was there. Yeah, fantastic center, right, but still
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: it still wasn't like the most physically challenging position to
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: play on the field. And like I say that with
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: as much respect as I can, that's just like the
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: rule of thumb that where everybody went, like the closer
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: yard of the ball, the smarter you have to be,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: and like the less like physically dominant you have to
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: be unless you're going to get to like unless you're
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: in division with a ton of odd fronts, then it
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: changes a little bit because you can have to see
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: a little bit, but you're also doing a lot of
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: three and fourmants odd fronts. Like if we got odd
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: fronts and two jet three jet projection game, it was
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: just it was it was we ripped and lizards where
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: it was a four man slide because you you locked
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: down one side, you have your back go to the mic,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: to the to the nicol sam.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Or whatever it is.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of slide protection. So anyway, very
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: important position. I love like I always had great relationships
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: with the centers. That's like the biggest, like the biggest
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: chemistry that some people have to have as a quarterback,
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: a center have to have a wild chemistry.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: But this is a wildly overpaid. It's a lot of money.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: It's a lot of money for much less.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: I think this was because you're bidding against nobody. Classic
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: like the Ravens didn't tag him because he would have
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: had to have a franchise tag at the left tackle number.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: So that's why they didn't tag him. There's no left
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: tackle or sorry tackle in general, tackle, guard, center, off
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: of the line. Franchise tag numbers all the same, so
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: you're not gonna pay a center whatch you pay a
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: top to your tackle. So the Humphrey was probably set.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: You got twenty seven a year, three countries, eighteen million
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: a year.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's half of I mean that's see Humphreys.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's a lot, it's a significant overpay. Yeah, the
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: Raiders are gonna rader.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: So uh.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: March is colon cancer Awareness month, and it's important reminder
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: that colon cancer is common, but it's also preventable and
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: highly treatable wind called early screening, can actually detect pre
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: cancerous situations before they even turn into cancer, which is
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: why doctors recommend adults start screening at the age of
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: forty five.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: So, of course, like working with Oschner here, it's.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Very important for them, and if you and your family
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: have a history, they have an option for you, like
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: a colon Oskby remains a gold standard for screening, but
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: for some people at lower risk you had at home
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: stool test, that can be an option for you as well.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: So the thing is they want to make sure that
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: you are aware there is options depending on your family history.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: So the key is having the conversation with your doctor.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: Establishing care with Oshner Primary Care Provide can help guide
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: you on the right screenings at the right time for you.
