  Speaker 5: Nicholas, is this Christmas morning for you, sir?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm let me zoom in here. I'm trying
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to look a little closer here. It's football, so I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: don't know either one of you guys look like you're
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in the best shape of.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Your lives though where you're supposed to be. This is
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the time of here you got to you gotta have
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: ten pounds of muscle. I don't know. If I'm seeing
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: twenty pounds of muscle on that set, I.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: Would crush conditioning test right now. I would crush it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: It would crush me.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I'm not even gonna lie to you and sit here
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: and you know lot to you, Nick, you know it
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: is what it is.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm ready, though, man, I'm ready reporting day today, uh,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: conditioning test today, practice tomorrow, and off this thing finally, finally,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: finally goes.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: Nick. I've really been enjoying your tweets recently about you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: just keeping real expectations for people, Like, hey, look, there's
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: gonna be a lot of nonsense that you're gonna hear
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: in the first like week or so, so just like
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: temper your expectations.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: A little bit. Yeah, always a little bit.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, everything's dumb that everybody's in the best shape
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: of their life. You know, it's not football, But I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: feel like the Zion Williamson thing every offseason is like
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the perfect example of like, oh my god, look at
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: him and then like he comes in, it's not drastically changed. Yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: like we're gonna see where some of this stuff goes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I think that, you know, I think the Saints are
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in an interesting place though, because there are growing expectations
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and it feels like over the last two weeks there's
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: just been like a lot of people nationally that feel
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: like they just kind of like discovered this team might
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: be okay in some places.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: So you know, you see Peter.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Schrager coming out picking them as a team, and I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: think those expectations are starting to go up a little bit.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's fascinating to me.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is a massive season for Kellen
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Moore too, and that's probably something we haven't talked about
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: enough this offseason. It's it's a crossroads for his career,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: like they got to meet expectations or like very quickly
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: all the positivity ships the other way.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I feel good about where they're at.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I'm expecting a competitive season, but yeah, it's gonna be.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Uh. It's a fascinating place for the Saints right now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: It is one of those deals and you're exactly right,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: you know, you start to get closer and closer, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: teams kind of fall in front of people that maybe
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: they haven't seen them enough and like, you know what, Oh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: they're better receiver, they're better tight end and back and
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: quarterback and offensive line. Hell, maybe they might be good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: And it's like, hey, you can't do that. Now, you're
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: too late to the party. We've already been here, we've
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: already been talking about it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: Get out of here. You're not allowing the club.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're the team this year, and I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: think there's good reason for it. I mean, their offense
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: should be significantly better, like massive investments there, and like
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it's it's three things. I think if you assume Shuck's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: going to get better and this is both of them,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: him and Callum more first drives, they averaged one point
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: one to one points per first drive per game with
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: with Shucks starting, that's got to change Reds.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: They got to be way better down there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And if you assume that Tyler Shuck is not going
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to take thirty one sacks every nine games, I think
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you can see a path where they get exceptionally better
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: just off off of Shuck and Kella Moore just tightening
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: up a little bit, but offensively a ton of really
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: good weapons. It's just a depth man Like the line.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I think right now, I think I've seen fandle hat
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: them at like seven point five. I think that's the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: win total. I would probably lean over on it, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I mean that's kind of assuming decent health and they're
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you know, the defense is still really thin. A couple
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: injuries away from disaster over there, you know, offensively. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: feel like they're built to handle some of it. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: really feel like twenty sevens their year. But the way
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the schedule is, the way the league is, they get
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit of luck with health. You know, you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: could see them being this team that everybody's kind of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: picking them to.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: Be nick How if you look at the NFC South,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: which I mean, I guess the answer is going to
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: be Tampa. But like, how much better do you think
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Tampa fans feel about their team then Saints fans should
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: about their team.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like they're all in the same bucket, And
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: if I was a Tampa fan, I might feel pessimistic,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: like Mike Evans just left, like Canalis is long gone.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Liam Cohen's long gone.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Last year you've seen him with like not a whiz
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: kid offensive coordinator, and they kind of came back to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: earth after you know, the early start where that team
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: just felt so lifeless at the end of the season.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I still think if I was putting real
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: money on it, they'd probably be my pick to bounce
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to be to be the team because I feel like
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the Saints are like right behind them.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: The Falcons could go either way.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: The Falcons could be incredible or complete disaster, Like their
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: weapons are amazing. And then the problem is is it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Penis and Tua at quarterback.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I have no idea which way that's going to go.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: The Panthers could win sixteen games this year and I'd
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: be looking at them a year from now as if,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: like I don't know, man, Like there's just something about them.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Like I have trouble.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I have trouble believing in that team just based on everything,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: but like there were positive signs there for them too.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So I think everyone in this division probably feels pretty
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: equally about their team. I think there's a couple if
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: if some maybes and you look at everybody else and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you assume there is some.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Maybes aren't gonna work.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So I kind of feel like everyone's in the same
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: place right now, but just based on credentials, I think
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you got to just nudge Tampa like a slight spot
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: ahead going into the season. But I could see like
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: them just just being at the bottom too, like, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's true for any one of these teams.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: So we were talking about a little bit earlier, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: that's kind of where we feel too, is you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Tampa right now might maybe they get the top spot
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: to begin the season just because where they're at, the
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: veterans they have. But we were talking a lot of
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: good things about the Saints and certainly offensively, like you
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: feel so much better about a couple of different position groups,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: certainly receiver. But then we went to the defense and
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: all right, well the defense was good last year, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: you know what did you lose? What's gonna look different?
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: And like Kate Nellison to Mario Davis are not the
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: same player, They're just not like it's not one for one,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: And so we talked about that little bit and then
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: we found ourselves to the defensive backfield. That's probably the
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: one spot that we still have questions about that you're
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: a little nervous about.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: What about you?
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: I know you've talked a lot about the potential there
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: and the younger guys that they have. Do you expect
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: them to take that next step and be something you
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: can count on and that a liability?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the jengle block of the whole team and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you're going to you got to pull it out, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: it's how they're going to collapse or it's going to stand.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I think based on whatever they do and kool Aid
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: is someone that I think has to take that next
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: step and just kind of really solidify himself. I think
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: we saw really good signs in the back half of
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: last season, but that's got to continue. Quincy Riley's a
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: huge question mark. Jona Sanker, we have no idea what
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: he's going to be in the slot, you know. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: think Reed's Reid black Men could play two games, or
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: twelve games, or seventeen games, and I think going into it,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons that we all kind
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: of feel a little bit iffy about them is that
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: there is no there's nothing to hang expectations on Julian
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Blackman one way or the like.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: There's only the.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Expectation that he's not going to play really based on
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: his career. But last year at camp, like I don't know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: pick a day, whatever the checkpoint is, Like, there would
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: have been a point last year where if we came
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: on here and did like, who are the MVPs of
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: camp right now, he would have been on the list
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of candidates.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Like at a certain point.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: He was making interceptions, making a lot of plays and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: then he gets hurt and he's gone. If you tell
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: me he plays fifteen games. I'm probably nudging my win
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: total up a game on the Saints. I think he's
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: going to make plays that can chances to win, but
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: just a total question mark there. You know, the one
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: guy we don't talk about at all is Martin Emerson,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and you know he's coming off the injuries and everything.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: There was a point in time where he looked like
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a young rising player. Obviously has to get back on track.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: If he becomes a guy like that, I think that
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: changes the math of the whole group too. You look
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: at him, you know, he's long, He's kind of built
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: like Ray John Rondo, like a guy that looks like
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he could like pull up his socks without bending over.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Like the arms are just like really really long. Looks
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: like a owner out there. Just got to see him play.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: A lot of question marks there though, And you know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: if I was predicting it right now, I think next
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: March we'll probably we'll probably be talking about corners.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Is a need for this team?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I mean that's just kind of you know, I kind
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of got to be proved wrong on this one. I
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of potential, but there's a lot
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of question marks too.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: What about real quick Lorenzo styles like that's somebody that
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: you know, he played receiver in Notre Dame. He goes
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: to a howse state switches to dB we know the
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: DNA of the family and father and brother and all
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: of that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: He blew the combine away.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Realistically, though, like where does he fit in and what
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: is his role maybe going to be in his first season?
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: J T.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Gray, you know, I think he's going to be Like
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I think they're coinding on him to be an elite gunner.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And you look at their special teams, like the the
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: EPA on their special teams was like historically.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Bad last year.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: So uh, you know they had Ryan right, they got
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you know, the the real kicker battle.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: They brought him in.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that there's been a couple signings
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: like with special teams and mine Berry and Brown there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think his his big thing is going
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: to be, you know, punt coverage is going to be
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the main thing for him right off the bat, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: then coach him up and teach him. But the athletic
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: profile obviously extremely intriguing in the Staley's you know, a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: creative guy, but he's he's he's a chess piece guy.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: He likes positionless players and you know, all the current buzzwords,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: but I think he actually puts it to use out there,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and I think that's a guy that you know, in
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: time you can develop them and probably get some good
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: contribution on defense. But I think right away that's a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that's a Phil Galliano player. And you know, maybe maybe
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: more so than anything like special teams has to turn
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that corner that that was a major anchor on the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: team last year, and I think I think it's got
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: to change drastically, and I mean it should.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: They made the investment, but that is a good way better.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Nick, for probably going on around six months of
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: contract negotiations and still not having a content and agreed
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: upon contract to place with your number one wide receiver,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: I feel like this whole situation has been the most
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: calm and unpanick and like WU saw a thing in
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: the world, Like we know it's gonna get done, But
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: are you surprised that it's not done? Now that they
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: have officially reported a training camp.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I was starting to get nervous on it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's I think it's getting
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: down the crunch time, like this is when you'd want
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it to be done. I heard that that they negotiated
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: with Rosenhaws recently. I don't think it got any closer,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So you're at that standoff point though.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I think this is a time where things get itchy.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: You know, as of five days ago, my understanding was
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that it wouldn't affect the early portion of training camp.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: You know, there's that point where pads come out and
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: if things aren't done, like, you gotta wonder where we
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: go from there. I do think I do think there's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: a difference in the way Chris Olave approaches things from
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of times, oh, guys have had
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to hold out to get contracts out out of this
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: front office, like Mike Thomas had the holdout, Alvin Kamara
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: had the holdout, Marshaun Lottimore had the hold out.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: You know, you go down the list.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Recent history has just been guys have had the fight
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to get their money. So I don't know if it
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: gets to the point where they got to do it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: It's interesting to me because you look at the situation
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: and the big beef with their star player. One of
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: their star players this offseason was Alvin like how he
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't like to come to OTAs and they put de
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: escalators in his contract for him not showing up.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: You got a young.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Team set in the culture. Chris is there for like
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: every single workout the whole entire offseason. He's there lifting,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: he's there for every ota and as you got a
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: young team setting a new culture. If that was a
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: pain point, I don't know, Like maybe reward the guy
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: that's set in the culture. The AP wide to me
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: seems like it takes care of itself. Like you got
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson signed about a year ago to the date
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: for thirty two point five, basically the same player, basically
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the same draft pick, the same college. I think it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: thirty two point five. Alec Pierce got twenty eight point
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: five this offseason, Drake London got close to thirty six.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that thirty two point five is
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: kind of where it all. Za Flowers is about to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: sign a new contract, so you're gonna wait, and now
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the market is going to go up again. You know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the AP wide of me seems easy. I don't think
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: that should be a pain point. I think the guarantee
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: should be the thing that that's kind of the battle.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously there's the the concussion history and the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: blood clots, and I think you got to take all
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that into account, but I don't know, like it's just
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: kind of weird to me that that this one feels
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: like one where you aren't paying anyone, you don't have
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: anyone on the horizon.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: You're trying to set a new culture. Man.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: The last time they drafted a wide receiver, Brendan Cooks
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: demanded the trade, And this time they draft a wide
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: receiver in the first round and they're holding a like
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: community event together in a few weeks, and you know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: it just seems like that can be the culture of
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: your team together in this like working hard, being there
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and I think if you just kind of reward a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: guy for doing that, that that can pay dividends down
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: the line. You know, you guys would know better than me,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: but it just seems like to me like that that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: should be the thing that you're kind of trying to
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: hold up as an example. And yeah, I think the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: guarantees could be messy, but you know, I think I
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: think there's there's some discussions over the ap y and
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: that's that's surprising to me, Like I feel like it
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: should be set.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Where if they do sign and where would that money
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: come from? Right now, you're six point three million dollars
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: under the cap. And typically in a situation like this,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: you go to the bank of the quarterback to borrow
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: money to make an extension like this, But with a
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: rookie quarterback on a rookie salary, like, you don't really
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: have that option. So where would the Saints, in your opinion, like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: get that money for an A lave extension? Uh?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Shoot, I don't have a right in front of me,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: but I think he counts like six something on the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: books this year. I mean, like they could theoretically extend
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: him and his number could come down. Like just spending
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: on the structure of the contract, you know, you probably
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: knocked that based down to nothing. You know, you could
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you could maybe set up the signing bonus to where
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: like most of it is an option bonus and it
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: kicks in year two and there's just an automatic trigger
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: date third day of the league year at twenty seven
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: this you know, this converts or whatever and you get
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: your payout then. So I mean there's a lot of
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: ways that they could set that up and really lower
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: that number or keep it the same. You know that
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: that's if you gave Kai Harley two million bucks, he
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: could sign a forty million dollar player. Like they're just
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they just been doing it for forever, so there's always ways.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: To hide the money.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: So you just kind of stash it in twenty seven
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: and probably have like a trigger on some amount of money,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: you know, Big Bay salary that automatically converts on the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: third day and you know that turns into your signing
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: bonus and that pays out that way. So or you
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: just attach it to the end of this year and
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it starts in twenty seven and then you kind of
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: play out this year like where it's at. So there's
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways they could do it and get
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: that done. So yeah, Like I actually think you could
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: extend them and lower the number the more I think
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: about it, Like I think his they could create cap space.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Probably about doing that, right, Nay?
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Do you think they're trying to They're comparing themselves to
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Drake London more than Garrett Wilson, and that's the that's
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: where the discrepancy is.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I think Garrett Wilson was probably.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Sophistically it'd be fair, it would be a fair ask.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It would I mean, like he his seventeen game averages
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: are better. I mean, I would probably make the argument
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: that that I'd probably be willing to, you know, go
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: a little higher on Drake just body type and style
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: of play and all that stuff. I think I think
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Garrett's really the thing. I think Garrett's really the guy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Like they have the same agent too, Rosenhawis represents both
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: of them. So if you got a guy with basically
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: this the same body type, the same numbers, the same profile,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: all this stuff. And by the way, like Garrettilson dismissed
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: a bunch of games too, so like that's even a
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: hard argument to use against it. I know, the risk
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: going into it is different, Like Garrett was healthy at
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the time, Chris is you.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Know, just had a healthy season though.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that that's the point of contention,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: probably is the Garrett Wilson thing, Like if' Drew Rosenhouse, Like,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: why would you let your client who's basically the same
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: client take a deal lower? I wouldn't, Like it's thirty.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: It seems to me it's thirty two point six, Like
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: that's the number to me. I think that's where you
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: got to be on it. Yeah, I think fighting for
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Drake would be something I would try to do if I.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Was representing him.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: But I you know, if I'm falling in between the two,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I'm comfortable with that.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I think there's just some level of risk there too
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: that that's going to show up in it. But yeah,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I think I think you got to be ahead.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Of that number.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: All right, Last one before we let you go.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: The person player that you're looking for to the most
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: to watch during this training camp. It can be somebody
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: we know, somebody that we don't know. There's always somebody
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: in camp. And you can't say Mason Tipton, I've got
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Keybob's not here.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: So we're not doing that. We're not playing that game.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: But the person you're.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Looking forward to the most thing out there in training camp, well,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: I mean there's.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: There's the like the actual answers, and then there's like
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the deep cut answer, like the actual answer is like
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: obviously I want.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: To see shut continue.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: But I mean Jordan Tyson's obviously the headlinery camp right now,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: going in and there seeing what he can do. If
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: he's doing anything early on that that's going to be
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: a big thing today, like to watch for. We're talking
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: to Loomis and uh, more at I think two thirty,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: so we should have some insight onto like did he
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: passes physical like that? That's that's a big thing going
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: early on. So I think those guys are at the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: top of the list. I'm really excited to see Oscar
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: delp though. I think that's the guy that, like, I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: really want to I really want to see what the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: vision is, like, how much is he involved in the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: past game, you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Know all that stuff.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I think he's a highly intriguing player. I don't know
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: if it totally manifests in twenty six, but you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you kind of watch him and you you think a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: couple of years out, a couple of years of development,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: like he feels like a guy that could be like
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a real part of everything. So yeah, that's kind of
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the guy that's on the top of my list.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: And then Jona Stanker's the other one.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Like I just think he's incredibly important in that role
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: seeing what he can do.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: All right, there he is Nick Underhill, New Orleans Stuff Football.
• 18:52

  Speaker 6: I don't actually.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: Wait Shrek forever after the Little Boy, that's like there
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: are are okay.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Right, I am like I would have never quoted that,
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: but we.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: Like, I quit it all no reason.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: Christy texted our group chat the other day and he
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: was like, like last week and he was like, we
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: need to bring back you saying do the role all
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: the time.
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: I don't know why I do that.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: That's the first time of her, like, I've been around
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: you for over a year now here.
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: He might not have been here because we did a
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: show where.
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: We like Taylor and maybe because we were saying Taylor
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: sounded like the Little Boy.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to give you my breakout player,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Paul Landra Flynn y'all.
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry if I steal y'all.
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: Okay, I don't think people are going to steal mine.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Dylan Jones running, Okay, that's my breakout player. I know
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: you have Harlean Barry, I know you have Kayden Durham.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: I realize that you've got a deep backfield. You have
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: two other transfers as well coming in. But Dylan Jones,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: when you talk to guys that are on the field,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: guys on the defense going against him, they light up
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: when they talk about him and how hard he is
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: to bring down all those type of things. So give
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: me Dylan Jones running back to break out as a
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: transfer from Wisconsin.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: Do you have your answer? Do you want me to go?
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: Because I already sent Hunt my email?
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: Go ahead, Okay.
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: So I think that, like all the signs are pointing
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: to ty Benifield being the breakout star. Like when you
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: ask people at Camp Taylor over here cannot stop talking
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: about ty Bennafield. So I think, I think ty Bennifield
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: is going to be somebody who's a breakout player. But
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: I felt like it was a chalk answer, So I
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: was like, let me go a little different, and.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Bo Bordelin.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: I know he's been there. It's this fifth year. I
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: know he's been there.
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: But I with stuff like this, I tend to pay
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: attention to what teammates and stuff like that. Say, Witt
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: was asked about wearing number eighteen, and he was like,
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: I mean, obviously I would be honored to wear number eighteen,
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: but Bo Borderline is somebody who deserves to wear that
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: number as well, and when your teammates are saying stuff
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: like that, obviously people think that you're a leader been
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: there for a while, and I think he set for
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: a breakout season because you have all these new pieces
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: on the offensive line, and I think that he could
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: be the anchor that kind of like he's been in
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: the program.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: It's been a rotational piece.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: For the last four years, but now he Like sometimes
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: I don't think that the breakout star is somebody who's
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: new or no for sure, or is like a sophomore
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: or whatever. Sometimes it's the guy that's waited his turn
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: for four years and he's the one anchor on the
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: offensive line and a new offense and Sam Levitt, you're
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: gonna have to protect him a lot too. So I
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: feel like bo borderline is prime to become maybe an
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: all SEC offense.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: Like, great answer. I love that.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: It's a really good answer, really thought out, way.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: Better than what he's about to say.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: For sure, Wayne.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Kiffin, Sam Levi.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: Breakout player.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: He's gonna be good, brother. Yeah, I agree with you,
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: olandre with you. Listen to what teammates are saying, right,
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: So I started thinking about what you know the first
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: person when we asked what basically this question, who are
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: you excited to play with? Play like or like? Where
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: just give me one guy on the team. And again
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: we didn't say offense. We didn't say and he said
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: PJ Woodland and he didn't even think about it. He
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: did it rolled off his tongue. So in a year
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: where we have a first round corner, in a year
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: that we have another high draft pick safety, I really
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: like the entire secondary, and I like that, I like
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: the chemistry that the defense is gonna have from a
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: coaching perspective and a personnel perspective. But the two corners
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: when weeks the first person immediately that he says, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: we didn't say. This wasn't like a leadership question or
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: a guy that deserves it question. This is like, which
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: player are you most excited about? PJ Woodland immediately right
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: or PYJ Woodland whatever we payja, But I'm going to
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: say him and DJ Pickett both both of these guys.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: So A gather played both the corners. So the guy
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: that played as a true freshman, the guy that is
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: a physical freak for that position, that body type does
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: not look like a corner. Now the corners that have
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: looked like him and that are really good, are really
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: really good. So this guy has a skill set to
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: be an absolute just showstopper corner Now, both of these guys,
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: I'm excited to watch them work. I am hopeful that
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: both of these guys are going to be true lockdown
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: college cornerbacks. And I think that with DJ hasn't been
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: able to take the take a huge leap from year
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: one to two. Like, look, it's a true freshman. Yeah, okay,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: so he's day one started from day like. He has
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: the the skill set, certainly, but now he's got a
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: year under him. He understands the game like he was
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: playing high school football two years ago and then he
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: plays last year, so like he has had an opportunity
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: to also put on wait, put on the muscle, like
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: have the nutrition, have the Jeff Michael Johnson cooking the
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: meals every sing Like he has had a year in
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: the system of the college, and I think he can
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: make a great year one to two jump. We will see.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: I'm very excited about the defense, but specifically those corners.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: We went to practice last year, and outside of making
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: fun of how non physical and short it was, the
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: other takeaway we had was, oh my god, that's a
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: corner and he's a what freshman?
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: It blew you away. I remember you asking about, like what.
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: Positions that fellow play was that he played. He's got
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: to be like he's a.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: Like like the way he's built. He's very long.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: That's a good answer. I like that. Both of y'all
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: good answers.
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: Paul, Oh, you got one, so I kind of got
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: two of them. One's kind of a chalk answer. I'm
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: gonna go Harlem Barry. He's the true number one. He's
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: you know, last year he was kind of in a committee.
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: This year he's in Lane Kiffn's offense. Can he be
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: the key one Lacy type? And then a backup that
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: I'm kind of looking at is Zach Weeks. Okay, he's
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: kind of, you know, filling in the West role. He's
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: gonna some say he could be the better of the three.
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: He'll get on the field more this year. He's not gonna,
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: you know, be a starter over his brother and Dottery,
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: but let me just see if he can take the
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: next step to propel himself the next season.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he could be in some sub packages for sure.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: With his athletic ability, he's certainly gonna be a core
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: for war. Daddy got on the field a little bit
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: last year, So I like that really good thought out answers.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Nobody went, chalk, I appreciate that you have one. I mean.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: It's shocked, but I am so looking forward to watching
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: time infield run around. Okay, yeah, it's still a good answer.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's going from the Mountain West to the SEC.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: We think we project, but we don't know.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: I think he'll be a breakout player too. I just
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: wanted to be different.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: From everybody else.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Somewhere out there. Taylor was punching air.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because nobody said Luke brought it home for him.

• 43:01
  Speaker 5: dose sekis it's always a great time to go for
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: a dose to the bench vibes on coachlay vibes.
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, what a stupid question, asked the bench.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: Did you both always plan to come back to br
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: after your playing days or was there other possibilities? So
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: I bought a house in br after I got drafted,
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: it was always the plan to come back here. Unfortunately,
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: people found out I wasn't here all the time and
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: broke into my house twice over in Willow Grove, and
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: so that kind of changed our plans because we didn't
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: have anybody to watch our home and they knew what
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: they were doing their pros, I mean, the alarm system
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: and the whole deal. So that kind of changed our plan.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: So we bought a house in Shreveport for the all
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: seasons of my dad, who's a policeman, and my mom
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: could go and check on the house and different things.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: So when I retired, we moved back to Shreveport for
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: like four years just because we had a house there.
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: But the plan was always to find our way back
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: to back.
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Crime sucks, man. Yeah, uh no, it wasn't my plans.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: This might come to as a shock to everybody, but
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: I don't really have a plan. A lot didn't really
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: have a plan. We just kind of we just kind
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: of wing did it. We just kept we kept coming
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: back here every off season. Yeah, and we just kept
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: kept being in the league for another year. So you
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: get one two maybe three months off a year. We
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: just kept coming back here because we had friends when
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: we knew it was comfortable, just for that like a
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: short amount of time, and all of a sudden, we're
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: married and had kids and had a house and stuff
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: and started a business and the kids got in school,
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: and look, we're still here. We're still here.
