- 1:34Speaker 6: Was on him all week long.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Undrafted Jennings dunker. That was the upset of the entire.
- 1:42Speaker 6: And you all sent me that I was I was
- 1:44Speaker 6: so disappointed.
- 1:45Speaker 3: It was because he literally didn't have any opinions.
- 1:48Speaker 5: A few years ago, there was a guy that actually
- 1:50Speaker 5: looked exactly like His name is Cody malk He was
- 1:52Speaker 5: from North Dakota State. I mean, belly out the year
- 1:56Speaker 5: Red Mullet looked great.
- 1:58Speaker 6: He was good. He's actually order on the Buccaneers now.
- 2:01Speaker 5: But yeah, Chenning's dunker, I mean to look like that
- 2:04Speaker 5: and have those kind of answers really really disappointing.
- 2:08Speaker 3: He spells his name with a G.
- 2:10Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, I don't like that.
- 2:14Speaker 5: You sound a lot better than I thought you would.
- 2:16Speaker 5: I actually thought that would be I just thought you'd
- 2:18Speaker 5: be sick. You're out in the cold, like oh bruh
- 2:20Speaker 5: for a while.
- 2:21Speaker 3: So yesterday.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Matt left, So Matt ended up bringing a car and
- 2:26Speaker 2: left before Jake and I did because Jake, well, to
- 2:29Speaker 2: be fair, Huck was playing in the super Bowl yesterday.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I did hear him say that lat Yeah, so Hug
- 2:33Speaker 2: was playing in the super Bowl yesterday. So I was like, yeah,
- 2:37Speaker 2: go do it whatever, And then I was thinking about
- 2:40Speaker 2: going with him, but I was like, I'm not gonna
- 2:42Speaker 2: leave Jake to for sure. Yeah, So I waited on Jake,
- 2:45Speaker 2: and yesterday I was actually up in the booth with
- 2:47Speaker 2: him instead of being outside because I was like, I'm
- 2:49Speaker 2: not going.
- 2:50Speaker 6: To get any right, what's actually gonna happen.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Right, it's the third day of practice. I think we
- 2:56Speaker 2: learned what we had to learn from it. So I
- 2:58Speaker 2: didn't really pay too much attention practice yesterday. But the
- 3:01Speaker 2: first two that I went to it was you wouldn't
- 3:04Speaker 2: think that watching practice is fun, but it was really fun.
- 3:06Speaker 3: And I had Matt next to me just yapping about
- 3:10Speaker 3: football and I loved it. It was great.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Okay, who drove over to my bile Matt. I was
- 3:17Speaker 5: gonna suggest I was gonna take a sight slight shot
- 3:21Speaker 5: at you and Matt before y'all went out there. Why,
- 3:23Speaker 5: Because I was like, guys, we need Jake to drive.
- 3:25Speaker 5: We don't need another laundry wreck or flasher Flynn on
- 3:28Speaker 5: the roadways, Like we didn't need that.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It was cool.
- 3:32Speaker 6: So Flynn may have had the flashers and I wasn't sure, but.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Jake drove back.
- 3:36Speaker 5: Okay, I was the safe. I love your fault. We've
- 3:44Speaker 5: had a few here recently. So when the track record

- 8:56Speaker 5: And oh and Victoria's like, tell her, I always like
- 8:58Speaker 5: to get to the front. Can we get to the
- 9:00Speaker 5: front of the class? I'm like, oh, so everybody can
- 9:01Speaker 5: watch us. That's perfect. There's a three rows and I'm
- 9:03Speaker 5: in the front and I don't want to do that. Yeah,
- 9:05Speaker 5: but uh, yeah, we made it work. It was uh
- 9:09Speaker 5: something I didn't think I was gonna do. I used
- 9:11Speaker 5: to Uh, I used to laugh at T Bob all
- 9:13Speaker 5: the time about being a male doing it. But I mean,
- 9:17Speaker 5: who knew, you know, I dove right in. We uh
- 9:19Speaker 5: we made it up. But it was a good time.

- 9:48Speaker 2: So I've never done hot yoga, but I've done plenty
- 9:50Speaker 2: of hot pilates.

- 9:56Speaker 5: like a mixture of that too.
- 9:57Speaker 2: I've never done yoga though, Okay, I mean I've been

- 14:09Speaker 5: There's a lot going on. ESPN ranked their top one
- 14:12Speaker 5: hundred transfers. LSU has five of them. But before we
- 14:15Speaker 5: do that, let's get the show started.
- 14:19Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing courtesy of go Flow ivy spa,
- 14:22Speaker 1: where hydration vitamins and a summer ready glow are always
- 14:26Speaker 1: on SAP. Now for starters.
- 14:32Speaker 5: Okay, so ESPN ranked the top one hundred transfers. We
- 14:36Speaker 5: are not going through all one hundred of these. I
- 14:38Speaker 5: mean I stopped at about twenty. For what it's where
- 14:40Speaker 5: those who does have five of them on this list,
- 14:42Speaker 5: the lowest being jas Brown at seventy three overall. I
- 14:45Speaker 5: think that's a little too low. We'll get to him
- 14:47Speaker 5: in just a second. But the out of the five
- 14:50Speaker 5: they have on there, three of them are inside the
- 14:53Speaker 5: top ten.
- 14:53Speaker 6: Now.
- 14:54Speaker 5: The highest ranked guy is Sam Levitt. He is number
- 14:57Speaker 5: three on this list, actually behind Brendan Soresby, who is
- 15:00Speaker 5: number one. I kind of think they're on and what
- 15:03Speaker 5: like when LSU fans freaked out that Brenda Soresby went
- 15:05Speaker 5: to Texas Tech over LSU, I thought it was always okay, yeah,
- 15:09Speaker 5: but if you get Sam Levitt, it's a wash because
- 15:11Speaker 5: those two guys are about and what provided Sam Levitz
- 15:14Speaker 5: fully healthy, I have no reason to believe by the
- 15:16Speaker 5: time the season rolls around he won't be. Sam Levitt
- 15:18Speaker 5: comes in at number three, And it makes a lot
- 15:20Speaker 5: of sense because Levitt has every opportunity to be successful here,
- 15:25Speaker 5: and it's because LSU did a really really good job
- 15:27Speaker 5: in the transfer portal filling in every single one of
- 15:30Speaker 5: their positions of need. I mean, between the high school
- 15:33Speaker 5: and the portal, they added thirteen receivers. Now, I know
- 15:35Speaker 5: we all laughed about it, saying, oh man, are they
- 15:37Speaker 5: just gonna have, you know, eleven receivers out there on
- 15:39Speaker 5: the field, But it makes sense that they added that many.
- 15:43Speaker 6: You go back and look at the team.
- 15:44Speaker 5: Stats for ole Miss from a year ago, they had
- 15:47Speaker 5: six guys with at least four hundred yards receiving, nobody
- 15:50Speaker 5: with a thousand. So Lane Kiffin likes to likes to
- 15:53Speaker 5: spread that thing around a little bit. So you're gonna
- 15:56Speaker 5: need all those weapons. I mean, if you're going five
- 15:58Speaker 5: or six guys per game, you're basically only too deep
- 16:02Speaker 5: now with that thirteen man wide receiver room. So I'm
- 16:05Speaker 5: actually good with it. And there's some studs there as well.
- 16:09Speaker 5: I mean, I'm pumped about Jakes Brown. I mentioned that
- 16:11Speaker 5: he made this list, Like James Brown almost a thousand yards.
- 16:14Speaker 5: He was around seven to fifty eight hundred last year
- 16:16Speaker 5: at Kansas State. But he had one hundred and twenty
- 16:18Speaker 5: yards rushing on that offense for the Wildcats last year.
- 16:21Speaker 5: You mean to tell me, as creative as lane kid
- 16:23Speaker 5: in Charlie Weis's junior arm, they can't find unique ways
- 16:26Speaker 5: to get that guy in the ball. I'm excited about him.
- 16:28Speaker 5: I think he's going to be your wide receiver one
- 16:30Speaker 5: next year if all things hold. Obviously you have Eugene
- 16:33Speaker 5: Wilson or Trey Wilson, whatever you want to call him
- 16:35Speaker 5: out of Florida, and you know he's a guy that
- 16:38Speaker 5: his numbers don't pop out at you. But he played
- 16:41Speaker 5: in a bad offense with even worse quarterback play. I mean,
- 16:44Speaker 5: think about this. For the two years he was there
- 16:45Speaker 5: at Florida, Graham Mertz and Dj Lagway were his quarterbacks.
- 16:48Speaker 5: I mean, you might as well have me throwing you
- 16:50Speaker 5: the ball and spoiler, guys ain't that good. And he
- 16:53Speaker 5: got Jackson Harris from Hawaii. I mean over nine hundred yards,
- 16:56Speaker 5: twelve touchdowns and only eleven games played. He's all six
- 17:00Speaker 5: foot three, Like that's those are all guys that could
- 17:02Speaker 5: come in a contribute right away. And that's just the
- 17:04Speaker 5: tip of the Iceberg. I mean you signed three studs
- 17:06Speaker 5: out of high school who I love. I mean, there's
- 17:09Speaker 5: tons of depth pieces out there. You signed big, tall,
- 17:12Speaker 5: physical receivers. You have a good mix of guys. Winston
- 17:14Speaker 5: Watkins from Ole Miss comes over. He made this list
- 17:19Speaker 5: as well. He's way down in the eighties, but I
- 17:21Speaker 5: mean he made the list of the top one hundred.
- 17:23Speaker 5: There's so many guys on this list, and oh, line
- 17:25Speaker 5: should be a lot better. It kind of has to
- 17:28Speaker 5: be right. And for a while, after you landed Sam Levitt,
- 17:33Speaker 5: offensive line was your biggest concern, as it should have been.
- 17:35Speaker 5: It took a little bit of time for those guys
- 17:37Speaker 5: to trickle in. But I think you got a heck
- 17:39Speaker 5: of a class. You're bringing back Braylan Moore, You're bringing
- 17:42Speaker 5: back Weston Davis and I get the west of Davis
- 17:44Speaker 5: wentn't great last year, but you also lose Brad Davis,
- 17:47Speaker 5: which to me is a net positive. I think Eric
- 17:49Speaker 5: Wolford will do a lot better job than Brad Davis,
- 17:51Speaker 5: because again he kind of has to. So let's say
- 17:54Speaker 5: he takes that second to your jump. You bringing Devin Harper,
- 17:56Speaker 5: can he battle for a guard spot? Bob the guard
- 18:00Speaker 5: from Maryland, who you brought in might be the most
- 18:03Speaker 5: underrated signing in that class. He started twenty three consecutive
- 18:06Speaker 5: games at guard in the power for that's a guy,
- 18:09Speaker 5: he's plugging play. He's gonna slide into one of those
- 18:11Speaker 5: guard spots and probably take one of those jobs pretty soon.
- 18:16Speaker 5: And then you bring in the next guy on this list,
- 18:21Speaker 5: coming in at number four is Jordan Seaton, who's probably
- 18:23Speaker 5: going to be your left tackle.
- 18:25Speaker 6: Now.
- 18:25Speaker 5: You know, there was so much talk about Jordan Seeden.
- 18:28Speaker 5: You know, was he worth the money you were gonna
- 18:30Speaker 5: pay him? Is he ever going to sign as LS
- 18:32Speaker 5: you need to move on? Well, here's the thing. One,
- 18:35Speaker 5: it's not my money. And two I've accepted the fact
- 18:37Speaker 5: that LSU football just has endless amounts of money, so
- 18:40Speaker 5: it doesn't really matter how much you pay a kid.
- 18:42Speaker 5: But look, he's six foot five, he's three hundred and
- 18:44Speaker 5: thirty pounds. He was second team All Big Twelve last
- 18:47Speaker 5: year as a left tackle. And some people may say, okay,
- 18:50Speaker 5: second team All Big twelve, like that's good, but it's
- 18:52Speaker 5: not first team All American. No, But he gave up
- 18:55Speaker 5: three pressures and zero sacks all year long at that spot.
- 19:00Speaker 5: I mean This is a guy that has first round
- 19:02Speaker 5: draft pick potential. If he lifts up to that potential,
- 19:05Speaker 5: I think he's gonna slide in there at that tackle.
- 19:07Speaker 5: So you're replacing three to four offensive linemen from a
- 19:11Speaker 5: year ago, depending on who wins starting jobs. But you
- 19:15Speaker 5: might be better at every position this year. Like, okay,
- 19:18Speaker 5: even if Devin Harper doesn't win the job at guard,
- 19:21Speaker 5: he got a guy like Solomon Thomas who people forget about.
- 19:24Speaker 6: Like all the.
- 19:24Speaker 5: Rage last year was was Carrie's current and I get it.
- 19:29Speaker 5: A five star he could play guard, end tackle. He
- 19:31Speaker 5: got thrown in there. You really wanted to see what
- 19:33Speaker 5: he could do. Solomon Thomas was a five star in
- 19:36Speaker 5: his own run. I mean, remember they flipped him from
- 19:37Speaker 5: Florida State on National Signing Day and that was considered
- 19:40Speaker 5: a big recruiting win for Brian Kelly. People just forget
- 19:44Speaker 5: about him because he had a season ending injury in
- 19:47Speaker 5: fall camp, didn't get to play the whole year.
- 19:49Speaker 6: That's a talented guy.
- 19:51Speaker 5: I could see him coming in there getting some solid reps,
- 19:53Speaker 5: maybe winning that left guard spot if it all works out. So,
- 19:57Speaker 5: I mean, the weapons for Sam Levitt are going to
- 20:00Speaker 5: be plentiful. You have a number of them, and then
- 20:03Speaker 5: your offensive line should be a lot better. Now number
- 20:07Speaker 5: six on this list, we're moving to the defensive side
- 20:09Speaker 5: of the ball. This is the last guy for LSU
- 20:11Speaker 5: inside the top ten. No surprise here, it's Prince Will
- 20:14Speaker 5: Luman Miellen from Ole, miss.
- 20:17Speaker 6: This was the.
- 20:20Speaker 5: Biggest splash outside of Sam Lave. That was probably Prince Will.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Forty four tackles total, but thirteen tackles for a loss
- 20:28Speaker 5: in nine sacks, and that's a nine sack guy.
- 20:34Speaker 6: You had to improve your pass rush. Here's how bad
- 20:36Speaker 6: it was last year.
- 20:37Speaker 5: Remember you brought in all those transfers at the edge
- 20:40Speaker 5: rushing position. We kind of thought that was the job
- 20:42Speaker 5: you had done the best at in the portal. A
- 20:43Speaker 5: year ago. You brought in Patrick Payton from Florida State.
- 20:46Speaker 5: He had had big time moments there. He brought in
- 20:48Speaker 5: Jamari Butler, he had been in two spots, performed well
- 20:50Speaker 5: at both, and then Jack Pibrin coming over from Florida.
- 20:54Speaker 5: Now with Pybrid it's a little bit different. He came
- 20:56Speaker 5: here to learn how to be a pass rusher. I
- 20:58Speaker 5: don't think people expected him to come in and be
- 20:59Speaker 5: an elite sec pass rusher. Day one that was kind
- 21:02Speaker 5: of his limitation at Florida. He left to improve that year.
- 21:05Speaker 5: He finished with two sacks. That's about what I expected
- 21:08Speaker 5: from a guy like him. Jamari Butler two sacks. Patrick
- 21:14Speaker 5: Payton came to ll Issue last year's a double digit
- 21:17Speaker 5: sack guy.
- 21:17Speaker 6: One sack.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Harold Perkins was your leading sat guitar last year on
- 21:21Speaker 5: your entire defense with four and he played the star position.
- 21:25Speaker 5: I don't think people realize just how poor your pass
- 21:27Speaker 5: rush was a year ago. That's going to improve a
- 21:31Speaker 5: lot because you got Gabriel Rellaford back. He flashed two
- 21:34Speaker 5: years ago as a freshman, played early last year, had
- 21:37Speaker 5: that season Indian injury. If he's fully healthy, that's another
- 21:40Speaker 5: body that can slide in there for you. You bring
- 21:42Speaker 5: in Jordan Rowls from Tennessee again, hasn't played a ton
- 21:44Speaker 5: because of injury, but was a really highly recruited guy
- 21:47Speaker 5: coming out of high school. He's got potential. Jaylen Brown
- 21:50Speaker 5: from South Carolina again another guy you bring in. Sky
- 21:53Speaker 5: could be the limit for him athletically. You brought in
- 21:56Speaker 5: so many bodies, proven guys and then guys with a.
- 21:59Speaker 6: Ton of potential to pair with.
- 22:01Speaker 5: Some of these freshmen like don't forget about Damian Shanklin,
- 22:03Speaker 5: the coaching staff raved about a year ago. No, we
- 22:05Speaker 5: didn't get a ton of Playton time because I mentioned
- 22:07Speaker 5: the four guys I had of him and he was
- 22:08Speaker 5: a true freshman. But he's a guy that certainly looks
- 22:10Speaker 5: the part. I mean he fills out that uniform. Like
- 22:13Speaker 5: when we were out there last year in fall camp,
- 22:15Speaker 5: everybody's like, who's that. Who's that guy right there? Who's seventeen?
- 22:18Speaker 5: It was Damien Chanklin. I mean, he looks like he
- 22:21Speaker 5: is physically ready to go right now. I am very
- 22:25Speaker 5: excited about his potential on this defense. The last guy
- 22:29Speaker 5: I want to mention is not inside the top ten.
- 22:31Speaker 5: He's actually a lot lower on the top one hundred
- 22:34Speaker 5: list than I thought he was going to be. It's
- 22:35Speaker 5: time Benifield, the safety transfer from Boise State. He comes
- 22:39Speaker 5: in at thirty four. I think that's too low. Tie Benifield,
- 22:43Speaker 5: and I know I've mentioned it numerous times on the show,
- 22:46Speaker 5: but I'm gonna keep beating this drum top Bennifield is
- 22:48Speaker 5: probably my favorite player LSU signed out of this transfer
- 22:51Speaker 5: portal clap in terms of just raw ability, I think
- 22:54Speaker 5: he is an excellent safety when he comes in at
- 22:58Speaker 5: six foot six wine around two o five to ten,
- 23:01Speaker 5: perfect size for safety. Played a lot of games, played
- 23:05Speaker 5: forty one games over three years at Boise State, started
- 23:10Speaker 5: most of those games. Just look at last season one
- 23:14Speaker 5: hundred and seven tackles, seventy of them were solo, eight
- 23:17Speaker 5: and a half tackles for a loss in two interceptions.
- 23:20Speaker 5: It's perfect because that's a guy that gives you versatility.
- 23:23Speaker 5: And you know, when you looked at safety in the offseason,
- 23:26Speaker 5: it's not a position that a lot of people thought, Okay,
- 23:28Speaker 5: that's a big position in need.
- 23:29Speaker 6: You're gonna go get a top guy.
- 23:31Speaker 5: Because you had to Marcus Cooley coming back, who was
- 23:33Speaker 5: really good for you all year long. You also had
- 23:38Speaker 5: Deshaun Spears, who was in his second year. He flashed
- 23:40Speaker 5: for you. Now he what an every day starter because
- 23:42Speaker 5: he had to play behind Cooley at aj Halsey. But
- 23:45Speaker 5: he was your second highest rated defender all year long,
- 23:48Speaker 5: bind only Mansword Lane, who about to be a first
- 23:51Speaker 5: round pick. Not bad there for DeShawn Spears. So you
- 23:55Speaker 5: thought you had your two guys locked up in Spears
- 23:58Speaker 5: and Cooley, But this gives you so much versatility on
- 24:02Speaker 5: this defense. I mean I mentioned the tackling, I mentioned
- 24:05Speaker 5: the coverages, but eight and a half tackles for a
- 24:07Speaker 5: loss for Bennfield. Can he slide into that star position
- 24:09Speaker 5: that you're gonna have to fill because Harold Perkins is
- 24:11Speaker 5: moving on? What if he's really good at safety? Can
- 24:15Speaker 5: you slide to Shawn Spears down? I would love to
- 24:17Speaker 5: see DeShawn Spears at that star position. He's six' three
- 24:20Speaker 5: pushing two twenty right, now and that's a big safety
- 24:24Speaker 5: that's bigger than What Harold perkins played at last, year
- 24:27Speaker 5: and he did a good job at that star. NOW
- 24:30Speaker 5: i Think cjjim coylyy is gonna have something to say
- 24:32Speaker 5: about that star. Position he was great last year in fall.
- 24:34Speaker 5: Camp he certainly looked the part as. Well but you
- 24:37Speaker 5: just have so much versatility with a guy LIKE Tdd.
- 24:39Speaker 5: Bennifield so you bring in a guy that you know
- 24:42Speaker 5: is going to play right, away that just played big
- 24:45Speaker 5: time football at a high. Level that gives you so much,
- 24:47Speaker 5: versatility whether it's at, star whether it's at. Safety where
- 24:50Speaker 5: do you Put DeShawn? Spears Cjjim coyley can come into the.
- 24:53Speaker 5: Mix maybe some of these young freshmen as, well, LIKE
- 24:56Speaker 5: i get that safety probably wasn't like a pressing need
- 24:59Speaker 5: as far as like we don't have anybody we're comfortable with,
- 25:01Speaker 5: starting but getting a guy Like Todd, Benefield, like if
- 25:04Speaker 5: a player that caliber is in the portal and, interested
- 25:06Speaker 5: you take. Him and that's exactly what this staff. Did
- 25:09Speaker 5: AND i could not be more excited about this guy's
- 25:12Speaker 5: potential in This Blake baker. Defense, Again Winston watkins did
- 25:16Speaker 5: make this, list he was somewhere in the. Eighties and
- 25:19Speaker 5: Then Jase brown made this list also at seventy. Three
- 25:22Speaker 5: in terms of the top one hundred transfer portal, Players
- 25:25Speaker 5: we're not going to go through them ON i just
- 25:26Speaker 5: wanted to highlight a couple of them right there BECAUSE
- 25:29Speaker 5: i think all four of these guys THAT i just
- 25:31Speaker 5: mentioned are going to play some big time football for
- 25:34Speaker 5: The Yellowshet tigers coming up in twenty twenty.
- 25:36Speaker 6: Six All, right we're going to take a quick.
- 25:37Speaker 5: Time out when we get back possible changes to the
- 25:40Speaker 5: targeting rule in college. Football it's obviously long. Overdue we're

- 28:37Speaker 5: louisianasports Dot net actually put up this. Article that's WHERE
- 28:40Speaker 5: i saw it that THE ncaa and The Officials committee
- 28:44Speaker 5: is actually considering maybe a few tweaks to the targeting.
- 28:47Speaker 5: Rule and my first response, is, well it's about, time
- 28:52Speaker 5: and that is the rule we hate the. Most like
- 28:53Speaker 5: we set up here a month ago and said we
- 28:56Speaker 5: don't like the transfer, portal we don't like the targeting.
- 28:58Speaker 5: Rule those are the two things of mind we would
- 29:00Speaker 5: change if there was A commissioner of college. FOOTBALL i
- 29:05Speaker 5: didn't realize that targeting had been around since two thousand and.
- 29:07Speaker 5: Eight time really freaking, flies that's almost twenty. Years but
- 29:11Speaker 5: the ejection part of it didn't start till twenty, thirteen
- 29:13Speaker 5: which makes a lot more.
- 29:14Speaker 6: Sense but.
- 29:16Speaker 5: My issue with the targeting, rule, like, look player safety.
- 29:20Speaker 5: THING i get, it that's, fine care about player, safety that's.
- 29:23Speaker 5: Awesome it is such a subjective. Call it is such
- 29:28Speaker 5: a call of, like, hey let me make a judgment call.
- 29:30Speaker 5: Here it's a bang bang, play and it just seems
- 29:33Speaker 5: like every big time hit is now.
- 29:35Speaker 6: Flat. Now it's fine if you want, to, hey let's flag.
- 29:40Speaker 6: It let's call it.
- 29:41Speaker 5: Targeting we're gonna go review. It we can always pick
- 29:43Speaker 5: up the. Flag i'm good with. THAT i know it
- 29:44Speaker 5: takes the game a little bit, longer but if you
- 29:46Speaker 5: have to get the call, Right i'm okay with. That
- 29:49Speaker 5: WHAT i don't like is certain players are called targeting
- 29:52Speaker 5: some or, not and even after, review they still get it.
- 29:55Speaker 5: Wrong and the reality, IS i, MEAN i say they
- 29:58Speaker 5: get it. Wrong we don't really know if it's wrong
- 30:01Speaker 5: or right because nobody can give us the. Definition, like,
- 30:03Speaker 5: yes forcible contact to the head and neck. Area, sure
- 30:06Speaker 5: sometimes guys lead with their, helmet sometimes guys lead with their,
- 30:09Speaker 5: shoulder and you could, say, okay well it doesn't. Matter
- 30:11Speaker 5: it's across the. Board but it does matter because you
- 30:14Speaker 5: don't always call it the. Same but it's never explained
- 30:17Speaker 5: why it's called certain ways in certain. Situations Like jake
- 30:21Speaker 5: sits up here all the. TIME i think it's a great.
- 30:22Speaker 5: Idea he always. SAYS i think that officials should have
- 30:26Speaker 5: a postgame press. Conference if there's a big, call in
- 30:29Speaker 5: a big time moment that could potentially impact the outcome
- 30:31Speaker 5: of the, game just go up. THERE i, mean, look
- 30:33Speaker 5: we're not trying to stone you in the street or
- 30:36Speaker 5: burn you. Like they just want an. Explanation why can't
- 30:39Speaker 5: officials go in? There players have to do postgame. Interviews
- 30:42Speaker 5: coaches have to do postgame. Interviews IF i want to
- 30:45Speaker 5: know why my star wide receiver dropped the, ball he's
- 30:48Speaker 5: gonna get asked about it. Postgame IF i want to
- 30:50Speaker 5: know why a coach went for it on fourth down
- 30:52Speaker 5: and his opposing territory then or his own, territory he's
- 30:56Speaker 5: going to be asked about that in. Postgame why can't
- 30:58Speaker 5: officials as? Well Steve, shaw The National coordinator Of, officials,
- 31:02Speaker 5: says what targeting is driven in terms of player, behavior
- 31:06Speaker 5: change has been really good and the numbers reflect. That
- 31:10Speaker 5: but how can we continue this trend of taking out
- 31:12Speaker 5: more and more of these hits we don't want in
- 31:14Speaker 5: the game while being less. Punitive this is gonna sound
- 31:17Speaker 5: a little bit. Insensitive you signed up to play football
- 31:20Speaker 5: at the end of the, day, like no one's forcing
- 31:22Speaker 5: you to do. It big hits are going to. HAPPEN i,
- 31:24Speaker 5: mean it's just part of the. Game if you don't like,
- 31:27Speaker 5: it it's part of the, game maybe consider go play something.
- 31:30Speaker 5: Else like, okay there was a play that we'll do
- 31:35Speaker 5: right now THAT i played after the game. Happened it
- 31:37Speaker 5: was A georgia Versus Old miss in that playoff, game
- 31:40Speaker 5: And georgia lost the key starter in their secondary because of.
- 31:43Speaker 5: This That Old miss ultimately won the. Game like this
- 31:47Speaker 5: play right here that was called. Targeting the player leads
- 31:51Speaker 5: with his, shoulder not his. HELMET i think he's trying
- 31:53Speaker 5: to slope. Down it was called. Targeting they reviewed.
- 31:56Speaker 6: It it was. UPHELD i don't see that player launch
- 32:00Speaker 6: his feet lead with his.
- 32:02Speaker 5: HELMET i kind of, See, Hey i'm going in there
- 32:05Speaker 5: to make a. Tackle i'm trying to slow down and
- 32:07Speaker 5: brace with his hit as best possible to.
- 32:10Speaker 6: Me that's not.
- 32:10Speaker 5: Targeting there's no malicious intent behind. It they called it,
- 32:13Speaker 5: targeting which, okay if you want to call, it. Fine
- 32:16Speaker 5: there was a play in the Ole Miss miami game
- 32:19Speaker 5: where an Ole miss PLAYER i mean came in helmet
- 32:22Speaker 5: to helmet hit the receiver across the.
- 32:24Speaker 6: Medal it was called no, targeting it was called incidental.
- 32:27Speaker 5: CONTACT i just don't understand how some plays are called
- 32:30Speaker 5: targeting and some. Aren't like, again the premise behind targeting is,
- 32:38Speaker 5: fine you want to keep the player.
- 32:41Speaker 6: SAFE i understand.
- 32:41Speaker 5: That but when you're ejecting guys for the play like
- 32:46Speaker 5: that that we just saw with The georgia safety where
- 32:49Speaker 5: he slows now and he kind of leans back a little,
- 32:51Speaker 5: bit drops his shoulder to avoid a helmet to helmet,
- 32:53Speaker 5: hit and you're still called for, targeting you still get.
- 32:56Speaker 5: Ejected what else do you want the player to? DO i,
- 33:00Speaker 5: mean at the end of the, day this is. Football
- 33:03Speaker 5: it's a violent. Sport there's a lot of bang bang.
- 33:05Speaker 5: Plays i'm coming for the, ball the receivers going for the.
- 33:08Speaker 5: Ball we get there at the same. Time like it,
- 33:10Speaker 5: happens not every big hit is, Targeting but it just
- 33:13Speaker 5: seems like referees kind of picking, jews like oh that
- 33:17Speaker 5: player got hurt or oh that was a big time,
- 33:18Speaker 5: hit LIKE i must be.
- 33:19Speaker 6: Targeting that's not necessarily the.
- 33:21Speaker 5: Case, LIKE i JUST i don't really get the whole point, of,
- 33:26Speaker 5: hey let's throw this guy. Out let's let's completely impact
- 33:30Speaker 5: the outcome of this game by this one. Call but
- 33:33Speaker 5: a little bit later on in the, game defensive back
- 33:36Speaker 5: or linebacker whoever is going to make almost the same
- 33:39Speaker 5: exact identical play and we're not going to call. It
- 33:43Speaker 5: LIKE i would almost prefer at this point any big
- 33:47Speaker 5: time hit like that just be called.
- 33:48Speaker 6: TARGETING i know it, SUCKS i know it's not.
- 33:50Speaker 5: FUN i know it's bad for the players and fan,
- 33:53Speaker 5: Experience but at least there's a, uniformity, Right, like at
- 33:55Speaker 5: least there's consistency this whole bro, well you, Know and first, off,
- 34:00Speaker 5: though the rules analysts they bring In Matt, Austin Jeans,
- 34:04Speaker 5: sterotor who the hell told them they were rules, Analysts,
- 34:09Speaker 5: LIKE i feel like they're never. Right like anytime you
- 34:11Speaker 5: bring in these, guys they try to give you some
- 34:12Speaker 5: long convoluted answer of, oh, well you, KNOW i mean
- 34:15Speaker 5: he went in and you got to determine if there's
- 34:17Speaker 5: intent behind.
- 34:18Speaker 6: It how do you determine?
- 34:19Speaker 5: Intent If cassie And landro were fighting back, there And i'm,
- 34:25Speaker 5: like who started, It they're not gonna, say like, you
- 34:28Speaker 5: how do you find out? Intent you go up to
- 34:29Speaker 5: the player and be, like did you mean to hit that?
- 34:30Speaker 5: Guy helmet the helme and be honest with. Me the
- 34:33Speaker 5: whole intent rule is. DUMP i don't understand. That by the,
- 34:36Speaker 5: way the only thing That cassie would ever be fighting
- 34:38Speaker 5: over would be like A chick fil a or whatever
- 34:40Speaker 5: or something like. That she's not a very violent, person but,
- 34:42Speaker 5: hey it could. Happen crazy your things have APP i
- 34:45Speaker 5: just for players. Safety when a player has to stop
- 34:50Speaker 5: and hesitate and second guests themselves before they're making a,
- 34:53Speaker 5: hit that's where injuries.
- 34:55Speaker 6: Happen remember about six or seven years.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Ago maybe eight years ago in THE, nfl they were
- 35:01Speaker 5: really cracking down, them the roughing the, passers like you
- 35:03Speaker 5: could basically not hit the quarterback above the. Shoulders you
- 35:06Speaker 5: could hit them below the. Knee it was really hard
- 35:08Speaker 5: and these players were pulling. UP i remember this like
- 35:11Speaker 5: it was. Yesterday Cameron wake the defensive end of The
- 35:13Speaker 5: miami dophense he was A Pro bowl defensive end the year.
- 35:16Speaker 5: Before he tore HIS acl because he had to slow
- 35:19Speaker 5: down so dramatically to avoid hitting the quarterback because he was.
- 35:22Speaker 6: Scared he was gonna get A roughi in the passer
- 35:23Speaker 6: call on.
- 35:24Speaker 5: It when he tore HIS acl on that, play he
- 35:27Speaker 5: was out for the season at the end of the.
- 35:29Speaker 5: Day is it worth? It like this is eventually going
- 35:31Speaker 5: to cause more harm than. GOOD i think it already.
- 35:33Speaker 5: HAS i hate the targeting. Penalty like we always talk
- 35:37Speaker 5: about a commissioner college. Football IF i was the commissioner
- 35:39Speaker 5: of college, football my first rule would be take away
- 35:41Speaker 5: the targeting. Penalty we were fine for years without. It move,
- 35:44Speaker 5: On it's, Football go out there and. Play it's got
- 35:48Speaker 5: to be either in all or. Nothing you got to
- 35:50Speaker 5: call every one of them or you got to call
- 35:51Speaker 5: none at. All this back and forth a judgment, call
- 35:54Speaker 5: referees not having to explain themselves all. That, like it's
- 35:57Speaker 5: bad for the, game it's bad for. EVERYBODY i don't
- 36:00Speaker 5: really understand the direction we're. Going and the fact That
- 36:05Speaker 5: Steve shaw again said, that oh, well you, KNOW i
- 36:07Speaker 5: think it's done a good. Job we just want to
- 36:08Speaker 5: tweak a few. Things you think they've done a good
- 36:10Speaker 5: job calling, Targetings he, said player behavior.
- 36:13Speaker 6: Change has been really. Good.
- 36:16Speaker 5: Yeah, man they're trying to take themselves out of the.
- 36:18Speaker 5: Game they're trying to slow down to avoid hidden. Guys
- 36:22Speaker 5: player behaviors, change AND i don't think it's for the.
- 36:24Speaker 6: Better look that that's just.
- 36:27Speaker 5: Me i'm one, Person Like i'm good with a fifteen
- 36:31Speaker 5: yard penalty if that's what you. WANT i hate the
- 36:33Speaker 5: ejection that impacts the whole outcome of the. Game, like
- 36:37Speaker 5: these guys get paid, now, RIGHT i mean we always,
- 36:40Speaker 5: see oh their nil evaluation is this this person was
- 36:44Speaker 5: GUARANTEED x amount of dollars to go to this, school
- 36:47Speaker 5: which is why they committed there in the transfer.
- 36:49Speaker 6: Board find. Them they make.
- 36:52Speaker 5: Money if you don't want to find, them you think
- 36:55Speaker 5: it's too harsh on the. PLAYERS i, don't but a
- 36:57Speaker 5: lot of people think that the players should get to
- 36:59Speaker 5: do whatever they.
- 36:59Speaker 6: Want find the.
- 37:00Speaker 5: School you find the school for fans storming the field
- 37:03Speaker 5: because you say that's a player safety. Issue in THE, nfl,
- 37:07Speaker 5: guys they don't get ejected from the. Game it's fifteen
- 37:10Speaker 5: yard personal. Foul you'll probably get a couple thousand. Dollars,
- 37:13Speaker 5: fine why can't you implement something like? That and, again
- 37:17Speaker 5: you know you have to find the. Players find the.
- 37:18Speaker 5: School i'm good with, it but ejecting guys and not
- 37:22Speaker 5: really giving a black and white definition of what you're
- 37:24Speaker 5: looking for in. TARGETING i just think it's really really
- 37:26Speaker 5: bad for college, football AND i do think hope something
- 37:29Speaker 5: does change here in the very near.
- 37:31Speaker 6: Future, right we're going to.
- 37:31Speaker 5: Take a time out a little bit early because coming

- 44:01Speaker 5: Mind LIKE i mentioned, Earlier, hey people forget About Solomon,
- 44:04Speaker 5: thomas he was a five. Star people kind of forget
- 44:06Speaker 5: About Gavin guidry because we hadn't seen him in like
- 44:08Speaker 5: almost a year and a. Half like he was your
- 44:11Speaker 5: rock for two seasons at the back of that. Bullpen
- 44:14Speaker 5: like last, year, Yes calan, emerged case It evans emerged
- 44:17Speaker 5: before you moved him into the starting, role but beginning
- 44:19Speaker 5: of the, season it, was, hey who's going to be that?
- 44:21Speaker 5: Closer who's going to fill That Gavin guidry role because
- 44:24Speaker 5: he was so valuable for you for two. Years and
- 44:26Speaker 5: Also Devin shearing again another guy that not necessarily a.
- 44:30Speaker 5: Newcomer seven't seen him because he was injured all of last.
- 44:33Speaker 5: Season BUT i mean When Devin sheering enrolled last, season
- 44:37Speaker 5: people looked at him as almost, like, hey this is
- 44:39Speaker 5: a guy that could become a. Starter now again he
- 44:41Speaker 5: didn't get to play because of, injury but that's the
- 44:44Speaker 5: Guy i'm keeping an eye.
- 44:45Speaker 6: On now as.
- 44:46Speaker 5: Far as fielding, Goes Seth dardar for me is it
- 44:51Speaker 5: is a guy That i'm keeping an eye on opening.
- 44:52Speaker 5: Weekend from Everything i've heard coming out of the scrimmages
