  Speaker 1: AFR on Demand is brought to you by Breck Golf.

  Speaker 1: Try Beaver Creek today, just twenty minutes from downtown Baton
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Rouge in the Zachary area. They've got a PGA toward
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: driving range, a short game practice area, thirty to forty
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: yard practice shots. It's a great place to chip and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: putt and practice if you don't have time for a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: full round. Book your tea time today golf dot, Brek

  Speaker 1: Orleans dot football.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: How are you man doing good?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Are you better than Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Apparently?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So let's delve into all this get I guess let's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: start with Carr.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all these reports are.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: That he's going to be shut down for the year,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: but that he won't play again this year. Darren Rizzy
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: continues to be defiant. Where do you fall on this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: with Derek Carr?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's semantics over the timetable. I mean, I
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: think everything we've reported, and almost everything everyone reported has
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: been pretty accurate. I mean there's significant fractures in his
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: non throwing hand. Ideally, you know that would be a
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: timetable of whatever four to six weeks, three to four weeks,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. We constantly see people
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: who try to beat the timetable and play as soon
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: as they're cleared to wrap it up and function. Pete
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Werner came back in a week, Alvin Kameric came back
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in a week. They didn't miss any games, Josh Allen,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: They've referenced justin Herbert, they played with injuries on their hands.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It's somewhere in that in that group, you know, And
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: three to four weeks means the season, So that's how
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it kind of got reported. A couple of times he
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: could miss multiple weeks, and with only four weeks left
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: in the season, that means he could miss the whole seasons.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: But Carr has been hoping to come back and play
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: sooner than three or four weeks. The Saints are going
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to allow him to try and come back, and if
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: he's cleared to play, they're going to play him again. So,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, and the Saints clearly are not in the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: moat of hey this season. This season is a lost cause.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: We just want to play the young guy, which is
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I think where the fan discourse is. The fan discourse
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: wants to see put him on, ir come on, I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: want to see Rattler, you know, But as Rizzie said today,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: he's like he took a common sense approach. He said,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Derek Carr's been ever since I took over his interim coach.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I gave everyone to queen slate. Derek Carr started four
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: games for me. He's three and one with a passer
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: rating of one o three. Of course I want him
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: back if he cleared the play. So obviously the Saints
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and fans who are ready to move on to twenty
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: twenty five have been singing a different tune on that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: this entire time.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So what will we learn potentially about Spencer Rattler if
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he does start one, two, three remaining games.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think he can only increase our
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: optimism for him, as he did during the second half
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: against Washington. I mean, if he struggles, I think we'll
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: be like, yeah, he's a rookie fifth round pick, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: we're going to see highs and low. If he comes
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: out and he tears it up and wins at Green
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Bay and London Night, or or plays great in really
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: adverse circumstances against a really tough opponent, then it's going
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to be eye opening and it's gonna be really impressive.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And yeah, maybe they'd have to revisit. If he goes
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and wins in Green Bay and he looks great, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: maybe they have a decision to make. But for now,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to put all that on Rizzy.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I think our expectations on Rattler. I think all of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: our expectations were probably too high for him the first
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: time he started. I don't think he's as bad as
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: those first three games looked when he didn't have much
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of an offensive line in front of him. He's probably
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: not as good as this last game looked. We should
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: probably expect some inconsistency, but obviously there's a lot to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: get excited about with him.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It will be tough either way if you don't have
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara and it looks like he might be shut
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: down for the year. Before we talk about the impact that,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: what do we know about Kamara's injury the extent all.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: That's yeah, I mean, it's a significant growing injury. They
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: already pretty much have ruled him out for this week's game.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Barring barring a big surprise, Kamara is going he is
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: going to try to play. If he can before the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: season is over, not just because he wants fifty more
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: yards to get to a thousand. But I mean we've
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: seen him as I said, I mean he broke his
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: hand earlier this season and didn't even take a week off.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I mean that's he played through a hit pointer earlier
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this season. That's just kind of his normal pride too,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So he doesn't want to rule it out. But the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: injury is I mean, it's kind of a similar story
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: with the two guys, Like the injury is one that
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: if you were giving it the proper time to heal,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't be back this season. But he's going to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: keep working at it until until that clearance doesn't come.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Well, they signed an insurance policy, I would assume with
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Clyde Edward z Layer, he was.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: At practice today. Did you all get a look at it?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Too much? No, I mean they were doing special teams
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and uh began some individual position drills when when we
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: were out there, So nothing that you can like, Hey,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that guy looks great out there, you know. But you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: obviously even though he hasn't been playing, he's been staying
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in game shape and and and you know, on the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: roster capable of playing all year, so I don't think
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: it would take him a lot physically to get up speed.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: He would have to learn a playbooks and things like that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's the intention. I don't think that's one.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: For one, I mean to have Kendred Miller, who I
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: would expect to play a lot. If you haven't picked
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: him up on your fantasy teams yet this year, go check.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Jamal Williams is obviously a veteran who's familiar with playing
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay. He would be the next part of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: that committee. Jordan Mens has been on the team this year.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't think it would be like turn
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: turned to Edwards. Hilaires would be his first game played
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of the season and his first week the new team.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It would be hard to expect him to play a significant.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Role in this game, So maybe just like a practice
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: body this week.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Is jan Rizvy even said it was coincidental that it
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: happened at the same time as Kamara's injury because he
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: just got released by Kansas City this week, and he
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: actually said, he's a guy we've always liked, always had
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: our eye on, and we wanted to get in the building.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: He made it sound like they would have done this
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: even if Alan was healthy, and sort of, hey, let's see,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: let's take a look at this guy for the next
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: few weeks, so that that feels more like long term,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: let's take a look at this guy than then expecting
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to see him playing at any point before the season.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Is over, to be honest, So maybe a possibility for
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe. Yeah, I mean a young player became available. Last
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: time they did that with a former Chiefs player, he
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: turned into their number one receiver.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who missed Marcos Valez Scaley who missed practice today
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: as well?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what a means mission?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah? How about that? Sometimes it just works out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But what I mean, all right, so who's Spencer Rot
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball to?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Uh? Well, NBS is gonna play? Uhar. Darren Rizzy made
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that team. Darren Rizzy made that seem like it was
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: just precautionary today and he said he even could have
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: popped probably practiced today, but we just wanted to give
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: him extra day. And I expect him back out there tomorrow,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So I do think he will be playing in this game.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, all the other usual uh playing the suspects.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think we haven't gotten to chrys O Love yet.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that'll be the next transition.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Uh he he will not be playing yet in this game,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: he said, pretty doubtful, probably doubtful, but almost assuredly he
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: will not be playing yet in this game. So it'll
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: be n BS Foster Morrow and Jawan Johnson, Kendre Miller
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and uh Jamal Williams H Wilson. Uh who am I
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: forgetting but means forgiving at least? No, probably not Pettis
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Uh Tennis Pettison, Kevin Austin.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: There we go, there they are there.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You remember remember years ago when Tony Kornheiser made a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: joke on Monday Night Football about Sean Payton final receivers
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on Bourbon Street, and a lot of people got got
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: offended by that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Like that's what this feels like. It's like, who who's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: playing receiver?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Drew Brees? Drew Brees. I remember on Thanksgiving Night that
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: they became the first player in NFL history to throw
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: four different touchdown passes to four different undrafted players. It's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a tradition around here.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I just God, God blessed they tried to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, they drafted Chris Lave in round one,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they drafted Brandon Cooks. In round one they drafted Michael Thomas,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and round two, I mean they have invested in the position,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: but my goodness, uh yeah, it seems more like a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Mark Marcus Colston seventh round tight end from Hostra come
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on down, be the ultime leading receiver. All right, So
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: let's talk about a Lave then? Might we assume he
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: plays again at some boy this year?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Boy, it sounds like it. You know, again, we like
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: to this is the story with every one of these guys.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: We like to be like, well, you're five and nine
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and there's only three ways up. Just shut it down.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: But there's you know, there's individuals that stake here. If Alave,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you know, Rizzy said he was really he called a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: great news. He said he was really happy for him.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He said Chris Olave was smiling. Chris Olave wanted to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: get cleared. He got cleared. He wants to play. So
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: while while obviously there, you know, we want to say
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: these games don't mean anything, it sounds like a Lave
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: wants to get back on the field, play another game,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: maybe kick his off season off the right way. I
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: don't know, but you know, for what for for whatever
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: purposes that he wants to play. These guys are all competitors.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: They want to play. He wants to even though they're
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you know, by the time he gets back on the field,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: that obviously will be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. So
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I would almost be sure of that within a few
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: days from now they'll be me it's medically eliminated from
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. But it sounds like the efforts are going
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to be for him to play a game or two
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: before it's all done.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at my Tripletneworleans dot football or chats
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: every week. Courtesy of Benny's car Wash great stocking stuff.

  Speaker 1: out at benny'scar Wash dot com. Okay, so they're gonna
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: play Green Bay on Monday Night football. They are too
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: touchdown underdog. Any reason to believe this might go?
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, who was I just talking to where I said?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, the reason is because sometimes the NFL NFL
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: is but unlikely. I mean, look, they have their whole
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: offensive line together. You know, they put up a fight
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: against the playoff team in Washington, they put up a
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: fight against the playoff team in Los Angeles. But no,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I mean there's just too much missing. I mean, not
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: only not only are you expecting Spencer Rattler to have
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to go in there and have a good game, but
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: without Alvin Kamara would be the ultimate security blanket for him.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: You know, you're gonna need turnovers. This team doesn't turn
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the ball over much. They're gonna need sacked. Jordan Love
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't get sacked. But you're gonna need to stop the run.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: The things don't stop the run well, and they have
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: one of the top running backs in the league. Like
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's hard to paint that picture except for weird
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: things happen sometimes.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Right, three games to go, the Saints finish. I think
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: they get one more Mike, I mean, I think they'll
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: be the Raiders. Where's that gonna put him ninth tenth
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: somewhere around there in the draft?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one more win. There's there's not a lot of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: teams they can pass up. Realistically, there at five. There's
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: only one team at four, and that's the Jets. Well,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: that the Jets and the Bears are both at four,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: hoping they win more than the Saints. I don't think
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that the three win teams will win enough game games,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you know. In the Saints, I'll lose enough games. So
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: really don't don't see a path for them getting much
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: higher than ninth or eight. And if they pull off
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a surprise win, uh, you know, then then they end
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: up back in that same team, lower teams that we've
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: seen them per years. But but yeah, maybe around tent
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: with one more win.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: All right, uh snowy Lambeau. We'll see it on Monday
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Night Football. And now obviously Spencer Rattler can go get
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: something done. Mike Triplett read about it there at New
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Orleans dot Football. He's on Twitter at Mike triplet Our
• 12:30
