• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We be here live from Rouse's on Burbank and Lee,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Jake Flynn and Cassie here at Rouse's. Luke and Tay-Tay
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: holding it down back in downtown Baton.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Rouge in the Raising Canes studio.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It is a football Friday. A lot to get to here.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: How we doing, sir?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, good morning. We're doing great. Friday, ready to roll.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Hurricane watch. All the things.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It's a big coffee there for you, bud.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: That's the same size I get every day. Nah. Nah,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: just big to you. Maybe you're shrinking.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe so. I am getting older. You know how that goes.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: The older you get, the smaller you get.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Actually, I don't because you're older than me.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: That's fair. I don't have a rebuttal to that. Yeah.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: No, everything's good, buddy. You know, just looking forward to
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: the weekend. Got the fam.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Fall break.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: How about you? Are you all fall break right now?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I think for the way I think. That it goes
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It's almost like middle school, high school gets like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and then Memphis gets all week in elementary school.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I think that's how it works.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because why wouldn't they get the whole week, you know?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are you really learning?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Three times three, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Actually, you know, we know they learn a lot. Thank
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: you teachers out there. Y'all are the best. You got
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: to have a foundation, you know?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: But, no, everybody's good.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: They were going to actually, Lacey and the kiddos were
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: going to head to Florida for the weekend.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: You know, the panhandle. Yeah.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Something going on there?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Something going on.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Something's happening over there. And hopefully everybody stays safe over there. But, yeah,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: but they're going to stay here.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So we're hanging out. So I'm very excited about that.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Hurricane party? I mean, you've been known to throw one
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: of those.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Okay. Sure. Sure. Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: 20 years ago. But good hurricane parties.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: You know, if we threw a party, we were not
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: going to just half-step into it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Right. We were going to do it the right way.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: So you could throw a hurricane party slash Kentucky watch party.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Although I don't know that anybody wants to watch the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: game with you.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: No, they don't want to watch the game with me,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: and I don't want to watch the game with you.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: How are you going to stand six inches away from
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the TV if somebody's there watching with you?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: How am I going to, like, I can't punch every
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: square inch of air in my room without, if you're there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Because then you take up air space that I can punch.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And you might yell at Joe Sloan again.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I might. You don't know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Like, I yelled at him for bad things last year. And, like,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: you know, I've seen some decent creative stuff on their
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: offense this year.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: So, it's infuriating.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Probably not as infuriating as it is to be a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Cowboys fan today.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Like somebody back in the studio. He can't be excited
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He's punching air right now.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: He might be front kicking air.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Brownhouse kick to the air.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Surely the Dallas Cowboys.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: At home against a winless team and an undrafted free
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: agent quarterback in his second start, surely the Cowboys won, right?
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Wait, they didn't have their starting quarterback?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: No, they had Jalen Daniels, not to be confused with
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Holy cow.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so surely the Cowboys won that, right?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: They had to have crushed him because I put, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I graciously added Dak to my top ten quarterbacks list.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I was throwing Taylor Bone with that one, and then...
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: They go and pull this. Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: 24 to 16 last night. The Buccaneers get their first
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: win of the season. Jalen Daniels had a heck of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a night. He was 19 of 25, 189 yards, a touchdown,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: no interceptions, only takes one sack.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Now, the reason they won the game.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Is because they ran the football 39 times for 241 yards, 6.2
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: yards per carry. But still, I loved the game plan
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: from Zach Robinson, the OC for the Buccaneers. I thought
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: he protected a young quarterback, gave him plays to be successful,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: put him on the move a little bit. It reminded
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: me kind of of what we watched with Kentucky. Like
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in their film breakdown, a lot of misdirection, a ton of,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you know, faking outside zone to the left, one guy
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: coming underneath to the right and making an easy throw,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: give a run pass option once you get out there
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: for Jalen Daniels. I mean, it was not your typical
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: NFL game plan, but for, again, a undrafted free agent
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, I actually thought it was a really good plan.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And if you can run the football, like you can
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have a plan like that for your quarterback.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Bucky Irving, 21 carries, 165 yards. added a touchdown
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: to that. That's nearly eight yards per carry in the
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: National Football League. That's embarrassing for the Cowboys. But it's
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: nice to see Bucky have a good game. Nice to
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: see for a couple of You know, old card collectors
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: over here as well.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I know you're sitting on a couple of nice ones.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: So a Bucky's.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I got a couple of Bucky.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I got a couple of Bucky's for sure. So a
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: couple of autos.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I think everybody's got a couple of Bucky Irving autos.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're flying around a little bit. They were flying
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: around a little bit.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: It says Bucky on it. Literally, that's how he sounds.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Jalen Daniels.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, it looked like it looked like he, you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: played a decent game. I can't remember exactly how much
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: time was left, but there wasn't a lot of time
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: left in the game that he threw what would have
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: been just an absolute.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Walk-in pick six. Yeah. The guy dropped it. Yeah. The
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: guy looked like two left feet on his hands. Yeah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You know those, like, wooden clogs that, like, Europeans, Germans maybe? Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Is it? Isn't that weird? Maybe.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Either way, somewhere over there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Somewhere.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It felt like he had those as his gloves. Yeah,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Clogs.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wasn't great. I love watching the– I mean, sorry, Tay-Tay.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody here is going to feel bad.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: No, no, it's fun. It's always fun. Jerry Jones did
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the Brian Kelly fist stomp, fist pound on the table
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: in front of him.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: You know, that guy's crazy. He might just fire everybody,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: trade everybody. Just like they trade.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: They traded for Joey Porter Jr. They gave her like
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: two picks, including a second round pick. And he missed
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the game because he was sick.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's sick. Yeah. They have a cold illness.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And then it's just somebody like walking around with him
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: with a trash can.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. Carry your own trash can.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, what are you doing here?
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, they got things they can they can they
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: can throw needles in you. They can get you feeling
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: better at least for three hours.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I think last night's game, too, is another example of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: we don't know what in the hell is going on
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in the NFL.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I guess. I guess.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, outside of like four teams. Right. I would
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: say Kansas City, Jacksonville, San Francisco.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, so maybe what we've seen so far through four.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: But this is, you know, kind of that point in
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the season where. You think you know, but you're going
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to get surprised. Somebody's going to turn it around. That's
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: why the NFL is so much fun.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: But it is.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: It's a long season. I know we say that a lot.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: It's 17 games. So teams are going to lay stinkers.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: The Cowboys certainly laid a stinker last night.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They were an eight and a half point favorite.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Lost by eight. Vegas, you're dumb.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Vegas has not been great with the NFL this year.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Vegas hadn't been great on either one, I feel like.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: NFL, they've had some bad business.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: But it's early in the year.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I feel like early in the season, in all leagues,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: is the time you can get Vegas. Then they started
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: to real sharpen their pencils. I don't know how they
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: get a feel for it, and we don't.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but they've had a couple where they've
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: been off by 20.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: A 12-point favorite is lost by eight. Yeah, well, my
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: pick from Florida this past week.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Five and a half, yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Five and a half. They lost by, what, 30?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Was it two weeks ago? It was last week.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: There's no way that was just last week.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: It feels like it's zero chance. It actually feels like
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: it's been a long time since we've been at Rouse's.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: It's been exactly a week.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Because we're here every football Friday.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, look at my guy right now.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Already?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Cutting up some.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: In the lab with a pen and a pad?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's in the lab for sure. I think he's
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: getting out that crab. All right. I'll see you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: As long as it's ready for the 9 a.m. sushi.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. He'll be ready. Okay. He's always ready.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Because as I get ready to do, you know, what's
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the ticket? Slam a sushi roll.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Salmon roll? Probably. Yeah. I had a little sushi
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: last night. Took the team. It's a little hibachi last night.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Is the team, like, your family?
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Team Flynn. Okay. Team of five.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't know if you brought the my hike.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: We were some friends. We went and got a little....
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: We got a little hibachi last night. Guess who we
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: ran into? It's all the offensive line.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: The entire offensive line?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: It was a.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Decent amount of them. They were putting down some groceries
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Did I see that the offensive line was with John
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Bones Jones last night?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: The UFC fighter? I swear I saw a picture where
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jake.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: He's in Baton Rouge for a meet and greet today.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: He's in Baton Rouge for a meet and greet today. Okay.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: So you could have met John Bones Jones, buddy.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: No, he wasn't there. He wasn't eating hibachi. I'm pretty
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: sure he was. He was not eating hibachi. I'm going
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to show you a picture.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to blow your mind, and you're going to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be mad that you didn't test John Bones Jones.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Like, you got to, you know, call him out a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, give him one of these.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Give him a flinch.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Tell Huck to hold me back. Yeah. Yeah, I could
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: be my get-bad guy with John Buckingham. Yeah, for sure. No,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: he wasn't there. He wasn't even about you. All right, well,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: we'll prove that he was. I can see it in
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: their eyes. They were ready.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: They were ready to go. Did you say what's up
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: to them?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. What's up, boys? What's up?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Don't know if you know this.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I actually was like, y'all do.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I used to touch a sinner's butt back in 2007.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Who's a sinner? Who's a sinner? Get your butt touched? Nope,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: you don't. Because you got clap counts. These centers don't
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: even know the hardships of getting their butt cracks touched.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: They really don't.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: That part they're probably not too upset by.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so. But, no, I did.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I love it like T-Bob did.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I wanted to know because, you know, in professional football,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: when you get to that next level, there's a certain situation,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: there's a certain game. That comes with the territory when
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: you go eat with your teammates, especially a big group
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: of them. And I asked them if they were playing
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: that game because they're all getting paid, right? I asked
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: them if they were playing credit card roulette. They didn't
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: pay it, but it did seem like there was a
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: one guy offering to pay, others a Venmo situation.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: That's the way to go because you get the points. Yeah.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: You get the credit card points. Smart. But.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: There's nothing as thrilling and nauseating as a big credit
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: card roulette.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a big deal. Is it dead? No, I
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: don't know if it's reached the college ranks yet. Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Well, they make as much money as some of us
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: in the NFL.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Some of them do. Some of them do.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: More than I did.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: It was always fun when the rookie got caught with
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: it on the rookie deal, and you got about five
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: vets in that offensive line room.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: There's nothing worse, though, when your card is the one
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that's going to get swiped, and you look across and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you're like, you make like $ 40 million.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: A year, and you're letting me pay for your food.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I'm up here making bare minimum, league minimum.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: You got to pay your dues, Rook.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I lost twice that rookie year.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I lost one time, but it wasn't a huge one. Yeah.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I played a lot, though. I was in there. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: was willing. Just luck of the draw.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: For those of y'all who don't know, everybody puts their
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: credit card in a hat.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Usually you get the waiter or waitress to come over.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Were you last one in? We were last one in.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: So you start pulling credit cards out, and if you
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: take one out, you're safe. The last one in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: hat has to pay for the whole thing. Some people
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: paid the first one out.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I don't like that. It takes away the excitement. Yeah,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: it's more excitement.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Anyway, they didn't do that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: You didn't pay for the offensive line?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: No. That was a lot of groceries going down. That's true.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: They probably make more than you do, so.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: For sure. All right.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: We will take a break. Take a look at what
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: we've got. The slate in college football. The slate in
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the NFL. We've got what's the ticket. We've got our
• 13:27

  Speaker 1: six and a half point favorite in that game but
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the game of the week is going to be number
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: two Georgia against number six Alabama college game day.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Is going to be there Alabama is a one and a.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Half point favorite now we're all watching weather for this
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: one to see if it affects the game I know
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: college game day is moved inside so they won't be
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: outside they're going to be inside of the basketball arena
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Coleman Coliseum I believe for their broadcast so You know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of game it could be.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I do think if it's a wet weather game, that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: favors the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, you would think so. You would think so.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: You know, Keelan Russell's playing really well, but young quarterback,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: really good with his arm.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: The running game is not completely established right now. It's
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a different guy every game where
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: we know Frazier's going to be there for Georgia.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Gunnar Stockton.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I'll take Gunnar in the rain for sure over a freshman.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Definitely. Gunnar seems like a rain type of quarterback.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I know what you mean, though.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think everybody knows. I don't have
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: to explain it. You can look at him. You can
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: look at his face, his play style. Good quarterback. Very
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: good quarterback. Very under-talked about, under-appreciated quarterback, probably. Well, you
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: could say the same thing about Georgia football program in general.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: And the head coach and the quarterback. Everybody is underappreciated.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: If you specifically corner somebody to talk about them, they'll
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: be like, yeah, they're great. Kirby Smart is one of
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: the best in the Gunner show.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe they ever do it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: But they're never going to volunteer it. No. They're not
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: going to be like, let's start this show and.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Talk about Georgia and how good they are and how
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: consistent they are every single year. No one's going to
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: do that. But if you corner them, they'll talk about it.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: But underappreciated. So I will, if it's raining, which, I mean,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know how it can be, I guess. It
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: can't be raining. It's, you know, a hurricane.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: True. Things that come with that.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Like what?
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: But as of now, well, it depends on what side
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: of the eye you are, Jake.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: I heard if you're, you know, I know if you're
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: on the east side.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. A little more tornadoing. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: This was posted yesterday by Alabama Athletics. They're obviously continuing
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: to monitor safety. Student well-being, safety is, like, the biggest situation.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: They're monitoring the situation. As of now, kickoff remains at 6.30.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that is updated. Probably won't get
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: the update at 7.39 in the morning. But as of yesterday,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: game time was still scheduled. I guess it's supposed to start, like,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: it's supposed to kind of hit this evening, isn't it?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Friday night, yeah.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Friday night. Yep.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: That's when it's, you know, Mobile. could be could get
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: some bad stuff yeah I think pretty sure that voluntary
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: evacuation in Pensacola mandatory if you don't live there like
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: if you're on vacation like my mom and stepdad were
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: there you got you got to get out of they
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: were in Destin and you had to go but I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: think if you live there you you have the option
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: so I don't know again hopefully it turns into nothing
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and we don't have a storm we haven't had one
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: in a long time and hopefully we don't have one
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: so We shall see, but it certainly could still affect
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Going to be a weather game. I mean, LSU Kentucky
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: is going to get.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Some of that. Yeah, you're going to get weather too.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, LSU could be a wet game. Yeah.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Which I don't know who that, you know, we can
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: talk about it, you know, throughout the show. I don't
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: know who that would affect more, but both teams want
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: to establish the run.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you would.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: I'm going to lean on everything helping LSU. LSU would
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: have the advantage in everything.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: And every way.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Now, does that mean they're going to win? No, it
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean they're going to win. I think I feel
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: very confident in it. I feel very confident in the
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: coaching staff. But I think that LSU's defense far superior
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: than Kentucky's defense.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: So in a rain game, in a.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Wet situation, I like LSU's ability to establish a consistent
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: running game versus them.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Well, Kentucky was 50.8 pass, 49.2 run or vice versa,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: one of the two. LSU has had 180 pass plays
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to 235 runs. So LSU is definitely a run-first football team.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Wait, are you saying Lane Kiffin's offense, it's not like
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: the air raid?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: People think it is sometimes because of how fast they go.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, they want to run the football. Those numbers
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: say it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Again, 180 passes, 235 rushes. It's what they want to do.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: It's who they are. I also like because....
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: It's funny, I gave that stat yesterday in the NFL.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: 19-5 were the top six rushing teams in the NFL
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: compared to 9-15 for the top six passing teams. I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: had a couple of people, former NFL coaches, like, yeah,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: but when you've got a lead and you're running and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: those teams are winning, I was like, no.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I did the analytics of it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Seven of those teams in the second half. of those
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: 19 wins, seven of them were trailing or tied in
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the second half. It's just the trend. It's a trend
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: right now. And it's in the NFL. It's in college football.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Teams recruited to stop the spread. Offenses are now going
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: back to trying to big boy you a little bit.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: They can be out of 11 personnel because that's what
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: LSU is. 11 personnel team, but they still want to
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: run the football. Every run is still going to be
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: available to them. Gap schemes, zones, it doesn't matter.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: And I hope they run it early. I hope they
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: run it often.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: I hope they run it the first three or four
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: first down plays they have in the game, even if
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: it's an RPO. And I know that we've watched the film.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: We've talked about LSU's offense a ton this year already.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: We've talked about their RPO schemes. Sam's been a little
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: bit too... Itchy to throw the ball on these RPOs,
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: even if anything's a little bit murky, even in good boxes,
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: like good number counts to the run side, the play side.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Even if he's got four blockers for three defenders, if
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: he has a look that he thinks he can complete
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: a pass, he'll pull it and he'll throw it. That is,
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: to me, a PR. That's a pass-run option where you're
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: looking to pass first, then run. RPO is in that
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: order for a reason. You look to run the ball
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: unless they absolutely take it away. And then you throw
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: it as an answer because the run's taken away. Now,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: this week, I think even if the count's bad, I
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: still think you can run the ball. I think their
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: defensive line is not very good. I think there is
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: a big advantage with that LSU offensive line versus the
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Kentucky defensive line. Even if it's a bad count, if
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I'm coaching this week, if I'm drawing up the game
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: plan and talking to Sam And those quarterbacks about the RPOs,
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: I'm saying it better be taken away big time.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: If not, let's lean heavy on the run, at least
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: early in the game. Make them show you that they
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: can stop it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Early in the game. Lean heavy to hand in that
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: ball off to Dylan Jones. Let him go do his thing. OK,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: he picks up five yards. It's great. Three yards might
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: be a bad run this week.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: There's never a bad three yard run.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: That might be a bad running play for the LSU Tigers.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Because you're saying you think they're going to have that
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: kind of success.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the D-line gets Velcroed onto the offensive line.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: That's not a good spot to be. You don't want
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: to be that, but that's what they do.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: And you've got to take full advantage of it. I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: fully expect LSU to have more runs than passes in
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Yep, 100%.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: All right, we will step away, continue talking about LSU
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: and Kentucky. Of course, we'll get to Saints and Vikings,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Minnesota 4-0 coming to the Superdome. But look, the NFL
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: is very unpredictable this year. The Saints, yes, they are
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: going to play the game. Yes, they are going to
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity. What are they going to have to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: do to win that game? We'll get to all of
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: that today.

• 39:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Welcome back in OTV here live from Rouse's on Burbank
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and Lee. Talk a little bit about LSU and Kentucky.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Potential weather there in Lexington and maybe who that favors.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I fully expect... Dylan Jones to be.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: The workhorse for this LSU team. But now you have
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: seen Harlem Berry raise his level of play.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: You know, last couple of weeks.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I thought this last game, and I don't care who
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the opponent was, I thought it was much better for
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: him being sudden, seeing exactly what he was supposed to see,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: going north and south, jump cutting, and then after he
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: jump cuts, not looking for the sideline, looking to go
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: vertical again.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: It was awesome.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: It's as good as I've ever seen him. And then
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: you got Stacey Gage, who was kind of like the
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: fourth guy in, maybe a little bit like, hey, you
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: had your chance.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: He said, hold up.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Give me a couple more. and he
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: goes out there, he has a big day.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: That's, you know, we don't, Stacy's only been here for
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: a handful of games, but we haven't seen that in
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: his repertoire. And again, you can be like, well, the opponent,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: it's like, I'm not looking for that. I'm looking for,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: are you reading your keys? Are you making good cuts?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Are you getting vertical when you need to get vertical?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Are you being a physical runner? All of those things.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: And both those guys, I think have earned carries, right?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I think Caden Durham's a guy that obviously right now
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: is on the outside looking in, but I think You know,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: you'll get Dylan Jones for 80% of the carries. You
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: might get Harlan Berry for 15% and maybe Stacey Gage
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: is the final, the other 5%. I don't know what
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: that breakdown looks like, but I still think like Dylan
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Jones right now, when you go back and you watch tape,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: he is so sudden.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: He knows exactly where to go. There's not negative runs.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: If the play gives you four yards at some point,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: he's going to get six. He's going to take the
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: four that it's supposed to. He's going to get two
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: more with his pad level. And I think in this one,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: on the road, crowd noise, his pass protection is going
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to be the thing that stands out to me. He's
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: as good as I've seen in the country this year,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: pass protecting.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't expect him having to do it
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: a whole lot. It's true.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, their blitzes are very, like, mic fire.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're mic fire. They'll bring the nickel off the edge. No.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: And they'll drop the they'll drop the backside in. They'll
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: they'll their change up is to bring a linebacker.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: They usually don't.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: I would start the game out by like if there's
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: a linebacker mugged to the running back side, I would
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: start by declaring away from him.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: So a lot of multiple times on film, I saw
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: a linebacker mugged. And when I say mugged, he's like
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: in the line of scrimmage. So in between two defensive
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: linemen acting like he's coming. Trying to get the lineman
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: to declare him or at least add him to what
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: we always talk about.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Was it this week that you said that guy never came?
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he never came. He came once from off, like
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: a linebacker position.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: So a linebacker did not come, like did not blitz
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: very often when he's lined up to the side of
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: the running back.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Now, that can be a changeup.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, Kentucky knows there's a tendency there, too, and
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: they can always draw something to you.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: They do self-scout. Right.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: But a linebacker mugged is what they're trying to do,
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: as we talk about in pass protection. You got five
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: offensive linemen to block five people. So you talk about
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: the four down linemen plus one. So that's why quarterbacks
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: always declare Mike Wright, Mike Ryder, Mike 53, Mike 53.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: Mike's way out there. Mike, heavy, heavy, heavy, whatever it is,
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: because you're trying to send the linemen to block all
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: the blitzers. So you're back and get out. And then he's,
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: you know, your back's not as good as an offensive lineman. Obviously,
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: it's past protectant.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Um, I guess.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: So what happens when a, when a backer tries to
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: mug in the line of scrimmage, he's trying to become
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: part of that count.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Now, sometimes he comes because you have to show that look. Uh,
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: but I just haven't seen it a lot from Kentucky.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: So if you have a mic, a backer mug to
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: the running back side, I would not declare him. Um,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: I only saw a backer blitz from the running back
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: side one time. Uh, so it's, uh, that's, you know,
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: list little things like that. And I think the past,
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: but I, Even if they did, I don't think they
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: brought seven people once this year. I think they've only
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: brought the cover zero like once or twice throughout the
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: entire season. Most of their pressures are simulated pressures where
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: they're only bringing four and they're bringing some sort of backer,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: but they're dropping a defensive end. So you're only getting
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: four rush. So I don't think Dylan's going to have
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: to do a whole heck of a lot of pass
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: blocking unless they change up their philosophy on defense, unless
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: they decide to bring some different things. They will every
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: now and then. They'll test you. And they got that
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: heavy-headed son-of-a-gun linebacker. I don't remember his name, but he'll
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: bring it. But it is funny that they don't pressure
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: often because their best pass rushers are their linebackers. Their
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: defensive linemen, you know, they're fine. They're fine, but that's
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: about it. They're mediocre at pass rush, not very good
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: at that run stop him.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: They'll have something.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the changeup is going to be,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: but to your point, there hasn't been a whole lot
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: of creativity, certainly, when it comes to, like, if you're
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: playing against LSU.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: You better be ready. There's going to be multiple down, down,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: and arounds.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: There's going to be linebackers with DBs. There's going to
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: be games with linebackers with dropping guys. There's going to
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: be a lot of different things.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: If you're Kentucky, you're doing an extra third down period
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: throughout the week.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, you're walking through all of the different looks that
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: LSU is going to bring. And so far, Kentucky's only
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: shown some simplistic stuff. to say the least and they'll
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: have something they'll have a change up I don't know
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: what that is we don't know what that is but
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: LSU's got to adjust to it in the moment because
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: they'll have something but they're based off right now you
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: feel good about LSU's matchup all right off
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: The bench bench
