Ross Jackson on Saints-Rams Practice, Hester/Flynn Joint Card & 2025 Bold Predictions · Off The Bench

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and Matt Flynn say.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hester and Hester.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: other on the air, control the live from the Mercedes
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Benz Baton Rouge studio.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: It's off the bench, all right, rolling back in.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I remember three O TV, one of four, five ESPN,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Baton Rouge. Let's go out to the West Coast our
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Guy Ross Jackson, Louisian Sports dot Net.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: You know him, you love him covering the Saints out there.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Ross.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Brother?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: How we doing?
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Hey man, I'm doing great, Glad to be here. Thanks,
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: having just wanted all right.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So, what's maybe been your biggest takeaway? Obviously, the Saints
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: they leave Metory, they go out west, they have a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: preseason game against the Chargers, going to practice against the Rams.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: What's kind of been the biggest takeaway maybe in the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: road trip?
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the biggest thing that I would highlight,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: sticking with the biggest story, which is that quarterback battle,
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: is that the quarterback battle got a lot more tight
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: out here and a lot more competitive out here. That
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: felt very much that quarterback battle like that was you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: kind of spincer rattlers from the very beginning out in
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: uh Metai out in New Orleans, kind of getting you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: accustomed to or being the guy that's already kind of
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: accustomed to the NFL game and the NFL speed and
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: all those other things. They kind of worked to his
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: advantage early on during training camp. But then the scenes
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: got out here in California and they did a lot
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: more of these kind of call it practice periods, so
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: they went away from kind of the scripted for working
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: this situation and this down and distance with this play
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: with this goal in mind, and it just got into
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: some live play calling almost like simulations scrimmages in some
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: cases as well. And that really kind of elevated Tyler
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Shuck's game a bit, I think, and we've seen him
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: really build momentum here over the course of these West
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Coast training camps. So now the things will go back
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: to do this preseason game on Sunday against the Jacksonville
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Jaguars and still have a very very tight quarterback battle.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: And so I think that would be my biggest takeaway
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: is just went from Spencer Ratler kind of leading the
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: way to at least it's still being now tight enough
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: for this battle to continue going into that second preseason game.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rawson, I agree that it almost felt like they
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: were going to make a call, you know, the last
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: couple of days, maybe even after the first preseason game,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and then Shuck comes in, has some nice moments, certainly
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: nice two minute drive, and now it seems like they're,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you know, still in full on position battle mode. So like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: when do you think because I mean, like you said,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: second preseason game, we know there's only three games now, Like,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: when do you think a call is actually going to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: be made?
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing that you're going to see
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: with this is that you might see two different calls, right,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: you might see one that happens privately, and then you
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: have the announce that happens after the case. And so
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: a public announcement will probably be different than the actual
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: decision itself. But I think the Saints are in a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: position now to where they could be just one really
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: strong performance away from either announcing or making up their
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: mind or kind of having that decision made for them.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: I think that if you look at where the Saints
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: can be following that Jacksonville Jaguars game on Sunday. That
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: could be the big, you know, kind of situation there
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: that effectively tells them, hey, this is going to be
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: the guy that we're going to go with. I mean,
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: the Saints have seen this before. They had a preseason
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: game against the Jacksonville Jaguars years ago when they were
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: trying to make their decision between Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: If you remember that a couple of years ago, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: it was a big performance by Jameis Winston that ended
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: up stealing that conversation. And so if either one of
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: these guys comes in and has a considerably more impressive
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: performance or a considerably more consistent and impactful performance up
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: against Jacksonville, that could be the proverbial nail in the coffin,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: as it were. But I think you would have to
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: do something that's going to convince this team to hand
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: it over at that point. Otherwise I could see this
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: going into game week. I could see this going into
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: you know, at least this week. The tricky part is,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: and you guys know this well, that after the second
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: preseason game, with the preseason now being condensed, this is
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: kind of after this game you start to really start
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: to move into some Week one preparation to kind of
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: know what your roster is going to be after this game.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: With some exceptions, those guys to you know that are
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: still battling for spots and buying for opportunities they're going
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: to play in that third preseason game, which you're probably
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: not going to play a ton of guys that you're
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: sure about in that third preseason game, and so you
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: can start to transition your you know, first team focus
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: and your early team focus over to game planning and
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: having a quarterback ready for that could be really valuable.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: So if I would say that if one of those guys
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: comes out and has some kind of emphatic enough performance
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: and there's a separation in the game against Jacksonville, at
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: the Saints could feel pretty comfortable at least starting to
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: change their focus before making the announcement about who that
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: starting quarterback might be.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Do y'all have any indication or heard from any of
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: the coaches on what the how they're going to do
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: the rotation for the Jacksonville game, Because like, there's a
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: big difference between playing in the first half of a
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: preseason game versus the second half. It's you can't judge
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: those apples the apples. So y'all have any indication how
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: that's going to be. I mean, it would be better
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: to have like a true like series by series if
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: you're trying to really compare apples apples as closely as possible.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: But like you know, like you've seen it, deep balls
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: present themselves in practice, a guy makes a good move,
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: it might not present himself for the other guy. And
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: so that day, like that guy that hit the deep
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: ball because a guy got open looks better than the
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: other guy because the guy didn't have a guy like
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: streak out. Like so like things are scut That's why
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: it's so hard to like make a final call with
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: two unknowns and to make such a big decision on
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: the more, it's important because you have to figure out
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: the best way to compare apples to apples as close
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: as possible. And every day in practice or every every
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: game situation is not created equals. So what's the indication
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: right now and how they're going to do it.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they haven't made any kind of indication to a
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: strict yet. I think that the typical rhythm would be
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: to let Tyler shuck get sort of that first crack
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: at the first team. You had Spencer Ratley do that
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: in the first game.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: You could give.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Tyler Shuck that opportunity here in the second game. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: as in terms of how that rotation actually looks, right,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: is that one quarter? Is that you know, like you
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: said drive by drive, which I think would be wise,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: is that you know, five drives here, five drives there,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: like we kind of saw durating that preseason game. They're
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: in the first preseason game. We haven't really got an
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: indication of that just yet. But and to your point,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: I completely agree with sort of the preseason evaluation, if
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: you will, because the other thing is you're going out
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: there and yeah, you're taken, you're a starter in the preseason,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: and you're taking quote unquote first team reps. So you're
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: taking quote unquote first team reps with maybe your first
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: team offensive line, but not with your first team skilled
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: players for instance, And so do you really have your
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: starting lineup right? And so I think that's one of
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: the reasons why yesterday's joint practice was so important for
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: the Saints and in evaluating that quarterback competition, because that
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: was really the only time that we've seen over and
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: over and over again Tyler Shuck and Spencer out there
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: both kind of go drive for drive with the actual
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: first team players that they, you know, are going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: line up next to in Week one in twenty twenty five, right,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: and so so, yeah, I think that's that's one of
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: the reasons why David New Orleans really wanted that kind
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: of late scheduled joint practice and tried to pull that
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: off and bid pulled that off as they did, because
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: it kind of gives them that additional evaluation.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Ross.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: One of the things that was surprising in the opening
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: preseason game was the struggles of the interior offensive line,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: certainly Caeson one. He's a player that is going to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously be counted.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: All.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: How have the practices gone against the Rams, because the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Rams have one of the better young defensive front and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: all of that, you know the National Football League.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not great, not great. The Rams defensive line kind
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: of took them the task. I'm not gonna lie to Yeah,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: it was. And look, there's a couple of things, a
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: couple of pieces of kind of context around that. You
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: don't you know, you don't game plan for joint practices, right,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: you don't watch tape for joint practices. You don't do
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: those kinds of things, especially in a situation like this
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: where they were kind of thrown together in a rush,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: and they were kind of, you know, impressively thrown together
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: in a rush. By the way, Like there's the logistics
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: of getting that together in less than a week is
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: pretty astronomical. And so but you know, as a team,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: you're not watching game tape to get ready for, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: and you're not planning game planning for uh, these joint practices.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: You're running scripted players, you're doing all these things. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: so I give a little bit of that context just
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: to say that, like a lot of the stuff that
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: the scene struggled with were stunts, twist things like that
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: that you would identify on tape and learn how to
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: counter and have a plan for. You just kind of
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: walk into a joint practice with no plan for. So
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: you just kind of have to respond to what it
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: is that you see, Like you have a general idea
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: of what these guys like to do, Like you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Kris shul is evolving that defense going into another year
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: as a defensive coordinator there after Raheem Morris left and everything,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: and so there are things that they're going to be
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: doing differently. And so you know what, I say that
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: there was something you should look at from an optimistic
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: standpoint when it comes to that offensive line going up
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: against the Rams really talented defensive line. No, not necessarily,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: but if there's a silver line coming out of it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: It was like, hey, that's what it looks like without
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: game planning week nine when they go up against the Rams.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: So I have a chance to game plan a little bit,
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: go over some game film, and then see how they
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: can improve there. And so I would look for the
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: offensive line to perform better week one than we saw
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: them perform in the joint practices. But yeah, no, they
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: got taken a task quite a bit during.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Those joint practice and tell us like the one position
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: group or unit that during this joint practice where you
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: sat there and watched and consistently you could say, all right,
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: not bad, Alex's pretty good, like pretty excited about that
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: was what was that moment?
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's the edge rushers for me. The
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Saints edge rushers. Chase Young had a phenomenal day. The
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: dude had like multiple pressures, two sacks that I would
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: have felt pretty comfortable calling sacks. I mean, you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: it's Jimmy Garoppolo. You're not really escaping much right in
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: those situations, and so you know you're getting back there.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: He's getting into the well, you know, I mean that
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: just mean he's not he's not the most mobile guy,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, And so you know you're
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: getting back there. He's getting these pressures and everything like that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: He's getting a couple of sacks I would say during
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: the day too. But then he also had like three
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: pass breakups because two of them he just got into
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: the backfielder was able to knock down the sort of
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: swing your outlet passes out to the flat to the
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: running backs. And he was actually in coverage against the
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: believe it was uh might have been Tyler Higbee was
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: one of the tight ends where he literally broke up
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: a pass in coverage and everything. Because these edge rushers
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: like this three four scheme, it's you're going to have
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: to drop every now and then. And so you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: he did that and ended up getting a play. So
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: I thought he had just a fantastic day, one of
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: the better days that I've seen from Chase Young. And look,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: you're hoping that this team, if you're this team, you're
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: hoping that you're they're going to be able to unlock
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: this guy's potential in a way that other teams haven't
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: been able to before. And Brandon Staley just seems like
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: maybe the right guy to get that done. So we'll
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: see what that looks like in the regular season. I
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: thought that Chase Carl Granderson had a strong day from
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: that position group for Dil Diggs had a pressure, a
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: potential sack.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: We saw.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Chris Rump for the potential sack as well, and so
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: it just feels like that edge rusher position has gone
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: from you know, three marquee name guys in Chase Young,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Carl Grander, standing Cam Jordan maybe having up to six,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: you know, five or six players that can be contributors,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: you know, And I think that's a good place.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: To be at that position group.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Ross One of the things we talked about last week,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: it was so difficult to evaluate the running backs because
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: of how poor I thought the offensive line played, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: like even like a play, you know, that was a
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: two yard run. It's like, man, I could see some
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: bursts from the running backs and Kendre Miller's like, I
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: get it. I get why he's getting third and fourth
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: chances because you see that burst that he has. But
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: it's so tough to evaluate them because it's like where
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: do you tell them to go? Like I was watching
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the end zone copy of the game and and me
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and Matt kind of had the same thought process. It's like,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know where to tell him to go on
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: this run. That's why it's a two yard run because
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: they just never were able to really get going. Like
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that was a surprise to me, just because this offensive
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: line that you've had, you know, so many big investments
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: in like if it's past protection, Okay, maybe not ash shocking,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: but in the run game, Like, it was very tough
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: to evaluate these running backs. And I think that's one
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: of the most you know, more intriguing position battles I
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: think in camp.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can really agree, and I think I think
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: you're right. Like so to match an analytic with your tape,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the things offensive line allowed just zero point five to five,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: so half a yard before contact on each of those
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: rushing attempts in yesterday's game or yesterday's game, listen to
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: me Sunday's game and so. And the reason why that
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: metric is important is because that's effectively for those that
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: aren't familiar with it, an offensive line metric that shows
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: you know, how much room are you giving your running
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: back before he's touched by a defender, and so you
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: typically want to be around one and a half to
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: two and a half yards Somewhere in that range is
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: a range from successful to very successful and you kind
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: of want to be in that range when it comes
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: to that. And the Stints were about a third to
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: a fifth of that in terms of their per carry
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: production during this game. Now, I think that that is
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: a big piece of context that matches what you guys
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: are talking about in terms of, like, I don't know
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: where to tell Kendre Miller to go with this football.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: And he had twenty yards after contact. However he only
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: had fourteen rushing yards, which shows you how often he
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: was being contacted behind a lot of spillage, right, And
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: so I think that like, those are the little things
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: that you really need to see and want to see
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: accelerate in terms of the conversation. And to be clear too,
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: you know we're talking about the Kindre Miller rushes which
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: happened a lot behind starting offensive line. Guys, These aren't
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: you know, runs behind the third team offensive line. Or
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: anything like that, like this was this was behind the
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: starting offensive line or you know sins Eric McCoy of course,
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: who didn't play in the game, but you know, starting
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: offensive line, and then you know minus two or three
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: guys you know at certain times, and so you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: you want to see when you get that full compliment
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: of starting offensive lineman on the fields. Even though Trevor
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Penning is probably not going to be one of those
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: guys early on, it might be Dylan Raident's that left guard.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: We'll see where things got with his injury. But that's
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: a place where you need to see this team improved
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: and where they struggled in each of the last few years.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: And look, Kellen Moore's got a great run scheme, but
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: part of having a great run scheme is being able to,
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: you know, execute on the offensive line to create what
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: you need to create for those running backs, not force
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: the running backs to create on their own. And so
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: that's going to be a really really important sort of
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: piece of progress to track over the course of the preseason.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: And I would say early on, like the first month
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: as offensive line play around the NFL settles in with
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: the regular season.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Ross before they headed out to California. We had kind
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: of heard the rumblings and people saying that Rashid Shaheed
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: might have been the MVP of camp up to that point.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Did that carry over to California and through the joint practice.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, especially the joint practice. I mean, there weren't a
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: lot of big plays he had for those young quarterbacks
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: who are under a lot of pressure with those first
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: team reps against the Rams. But one of those big
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: plays was this deep bomb down the left sideline from
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Spencer Rattler to Rashid Jaheed. And you know, look, Rashid
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Shaheed is one of the perennial outstanding deep threats in
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: the NFL, but he has shown so much in terms
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: of what he can do in the short intermediate areas
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: of the game so far here throughout camp that Kellen
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Moore has kind of opened up that route tree a
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: little bit for him. Let him be a catch and
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: run threat, let him be you know, kind of that short,
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: you know, three level threat, which is only going to
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: make him better deep because he be more efficient with
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: their usage of that. I think that that is a
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: I think we've seen a lot of growth from Rashi Shaheed,
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: much like most of the team. The biggest question around
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Shaheed is he going to be able to stay healthy
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: throughout the twenty twenty five season. And you're asking that
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: question for most teams, most players, right, especially the valuable ones,
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: and so no big surprise there, but his ability now
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: to kind of be this three level threat and be
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: utilized all over the field has really helped him kind
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: of step into that next level. Put on some weight
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: this offseason as well. He's trying to play around one
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: hundred and ninety pounds this year, so he's trying to
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: play up about you know, three four or five pounds
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: from last season to kind of help keep himself on
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: the field, help keep himself healthy, help you know, keep
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: him able to take hits, things like that. And he's
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: been awesome here throughout training. Game that definitely contigued.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: Here in California.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Are there, He's I got Ross Jackson louisianasports dot Net,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: always putting out incredible articles. Check him out on the
• 16:55

• 17:03
  Speaker 2: very soon.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: I can't wait. Man, I can't wait to step into
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: that humidity hug as I like to call it walking
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: out of the airport.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Can't wait.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: I'll see you guys, can appreciate you have me on
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: all right again.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Ross Jackson does a great job for us over in
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: louisianasports dot Net.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: We we got to talk about the offensively we have to.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: I think he said everything we needn't know.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: And that look, the Rams have a fantastic defensive line.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I mean it could be up as maybe the best
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: in its totality in the NFL.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Surely it could be. I got a lot of Jimmy's
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: and Joe's. But I was hoping. I was hoping that
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Ross had been like you know it was gonna be.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Usually it's like iron sharping's iron. But this might have
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: been like iron sharpens butter, aluminum plastic.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know, just iron through butter.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I iron, I don't even have to be hot old
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: any iron through the Saints butter.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're in a group chat. He just texted the
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: group chat yesterday and was like, offense was awful. I said, wait, really, I'm.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: Beginning to think. I'm beginning to think as all the
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: things that Tyler Shuck did in the off season, eating
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: the oysters, like really doing all the things to get
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: into our our hearts here in Louisiana. I'm kind of
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: thinking he's not a hot weather guy.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: You think that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Practice practice is hard in the heat, or quarterback because
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: the balls. It's just it's just a different situation, especially
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: never been in it. Go out there to that good weather,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you're spending it. I don't know, guys,
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: is he one of us? Can he handle the heat? Well?
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: So the good news is he didn't have to, Like,
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: he didn't have to a ton like he'll go to Tampa.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: That's a division game, I know, Carolina. Atlanta's a dome.
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: You're a dome.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you play nine or ten, depending on the schedule
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: games inside of a dome.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Did you need all the oysters you want? If you
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: can't handle the.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Heat, get out the kitchen.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: That's what they say.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: They're getting the dome.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, h you heard of your first.

• 24:04
  Speaker 2: these incredible one of one cards.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: But how long does something like this take?
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: Counting the planning and finding what I need? It takes.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: It takes a while. At the shows, I don't really
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: charge a lot. It was a hobby. Yeah, people started
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: getting wind of it and seeing the stuff, and people
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: started wanting it, and I wanted it to stay affordable, right,
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: But I just take real cards and I cut them
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: and and make different cards out of them.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Now, how did you how did you start this process?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Was it something like maybe you saw someone else do it,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: or maybe it's just like, hey, I want to create
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: my own cards. I wanted to look a certain way.
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: I actually ordered. I'm a big Cameron Jordan fan. Okay, Well,
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: and I ordered one from a guy on on Reddit.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and when it came in, it.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: Was it was horrible.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: I was just like a custom card that someone made.
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: Okay, he did the pretty much the same thing. He
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: took real cards. He put it behind a different background stuff.
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: But it was like hot glue together and spacers were
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: all messed up and cams crooked on the car. And
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: I said, I'm gonna tear it apart. I took pictures
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: of it and I said, I'm gonna see if iucking
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: and make it myself, right. And when I did, I
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: just I don't know, it just like unlock something. I
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: just thought it was was awesome, like so fun. And
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: I still have it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: Still it's still sitting on my desk. It's not as
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: good as the stuff I do. Now.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: It's the first one, first one, and you were having
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to put together somebody else's you know, work and try
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: to make it something.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: So yeah, so I'm looking at it. So people who
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: collect cards are in the hobby giving like they understand
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: like what a patch card is, so like this is
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: in the form of like a patch card. So how
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: does this whole like how does a card come together
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: where you have the patch in the background, the base
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: behind it, the print and everything. You said you cut
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: some cards up and kind of like make it your own,
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: but the layers of this, like how does this whole
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: thing come together?
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: Okay? Now, this particular card was both of y'all's upper
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: deck two thousand and eight rookie cards. Yeah, the l
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: s U at the top and bottom, those were taking
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: off the back of two different cards. The Teammates was
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: taking off of two thousand and seven Press Pass JaMarcus
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: Russell Dwayne Bouchard.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Okay, all right, the border.
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: Came off of two thousand and one score Jamar Chase,
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: the two purple stripes next for the Teammates that actually
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: came off of twenty twenty one and Terrace Marshall rookie card.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: And then I just what about the what about the
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: tiger face patch in the background here from Thailand? They
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: just they just.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: The tigers, iron I didn't even know that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know like so many different cards to
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: put together one card, Like you got to kind of
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: reach out, like find some Melow Shoe cards and maybe
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: have what you're looking for. But you know, I know, you,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: you know, you get requests all the time, and you're
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: doing these like what is maybe the one that you
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: got that was maybe the hardest to find exactly what
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: you were looking for as you were putting it together.
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: I'm actually working on it right now. A guy h
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: sent me a he sent me a Saints patch off
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: of a hat.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and he.
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: Wants it to be a single card horizontal that has Deuce,
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: Colston and Bush on it. And the problem I'm having
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: is finding the same size of each player match to
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: go on the card together. And for whatever reason, the
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: Colston is giving me a lot of trouble a lot.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: So you just like when somebody gives you something like that,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: You're like, hey, I'm I'm I'm working on it, but
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I've got a research I gotta wait till this almost
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: kind of falls my laugh a little.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Bits.
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: He's ordered several from Okay, all right, so he's like, okay,
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: no problem.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So what is it kind of your spouse? Is
• 28:09

• 29:16
  Speaker 10: a lot of people reached out and wanted one of him,

• 32:25
  Speaker 6: I don't have cankles. I did when I was a
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: high school diad and my body was in flux. What's grown?
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: M I'm ready to make a bold prediction.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Lron Landry's on the All Bicep team, but
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: his biceps got bigger in the NFL.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: I think it's All Trapped team.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's Traps. Yeah, he's on the All Trapped team,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Traps and Delts. Yeah. I mean, I'm telling you right.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Richard Murphy BT big guns.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: What's your bold prediction?
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: All right? So I wanted to do something before the
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: season starts where we all make extremely hot takes, like
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: bold predictions, and we can rake. I'm like, this is
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: like very unlikely to happen, but I'm gonna say it's
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: gonna happen. And what's gonna be a little competition. So
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: we got to make predictions throughout the season for the
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: end of the season, whatever it is.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: I've got a doc that I'm starting to accumulate them.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Our first take, I'm gonna make it very bold. I
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: was gonna kind of like try to buffer it a
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: little bit by saying he'd be top two or three
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: in the voting, but that went against the spirit of
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: what we're trying to do. Yeah, I think Jordan Love
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: is gonna win the NFL MVP this year.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Ah, we're going, like I thought you was just going
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: to sugulate LSU.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Any any NFL or college football take.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, so this is just for us enough for the
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: station survey.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: This is not for the station survey. Oh no, no,
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: this is just just because I tease Jordan Love earlier.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: I saw something come across Twitter yesterday that kind of
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: like got me thinking about his time as a starter
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: for the Packers and kind of what he's done up
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: to date. I know he hadn't gotten it done all
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: the time. He's had this like stretch his first year
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: starting towards the end where he was like there was
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: no quarterback playing better football than him. But I saw
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: this stat come across that he has the most completions
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: on twenty plus yard throws over the past two years.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: He's got fifty nine of the past two years. So
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: a guy that's playing his first two years as a
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: starter in a wide receiver room with no like true
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: number one, he has been the most productive explosive passer
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: in the league, despite the fact that he's missed two
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: games starting and he missed like a couple of halves
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: here and there for injury as well. And with a
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: wide receiver corps that's really like the youngest wide receiver
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: corps in the NFL. Very talented albeit, but they also
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: were third in the league last year and dropped pastes.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: They had thirty three drop passes. I believe the only
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: people that had more was the Browns and the Jets.
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: So now they add Matthew Golden, who all, like all
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: reports coming out of camp is he has been an
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: absolute stud. So you add this guy to that mix.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: Jordan Love in the NC He's going to have all
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: these big, highlighted games, that's going to be primetime. He's
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: going to have two matchups versus the Vikings, two matchups
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: verst the Lions, and of course two matches versus former
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: number one pick with the Bears. Like all of those
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: games are going to be not maybe not games of
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: the week, but they're going to be highly watched because
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: all the implications that's going to have for one of
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: the best conferences or divisions excuse me, the divisions in
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: the NFL with that NFC North. So he's going to
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: have the opportunities, and you know, I think this is
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: the year where the Packers take the NFC North. I
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: think they are going to be I think they're going
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: to win those close, tight games. And I'm just looking
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: at his wide receiver corps. He's got Jayden Reed hundred
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: and fifty seven yards receiving last year's six touchdowns, Christian
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Watson towards ACL but he had six hundred and twenty
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: yards before that, Romeo Dobbs six hundred and one yards,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: Dontavian Wicks, who was their fourth guy, a four hundred
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: and fifteen yards, and they're tight end. Last year, Tucker
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: Craft was their second leading so they got a real
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: pass catching dude at tight end seven hundred and seven yards.
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: So with that being said, you throw Matthew Golden into
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: this mix, they are going to be a force. And
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: I've seen stretches where Jordan Love has played as good
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: as any quarterback had played in the entire NFL. So
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: there is my prediction. That is the first I'm kicking off.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Our bold predictions are bold hot takes. Jordan Love twenty
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: twenty five NFL MVP.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: All right, I know, God, I know Taylor's got one
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: ready to go in the chamber.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: We don't have to like go round the room. Y'all
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: can think about that. But I've been thinking about lady,
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: I've been thinking about all this.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: I have one, but I know, I mean, it's Taylor,
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: He's got straight.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: How bold do you want to go? I want to
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: go as bold as you want to go. Like my
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: ideal situation is we'd each come up with like five
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: or six and like extremely bold, pretty bold, and just
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: like kind of like on the edge, like I want
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: to see. I think we should have tiers of boldness here.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: All right, I got a really bold one for you.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: The Kansas City Chiefs will not win the.
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: AFC West.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Broncos, Chargers or Raiders.
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: Bold of the bold.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: M thinking about this, okay, I don't hate it, don't
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: hate it. Who do you think is going to win?
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: I'm high on the Broncos and the Chargers. I just
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: think the division kind of beats each other up a
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: little bit, and the Chiefs play a lot of really
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: tough games on the road too. Like out of division,
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: I'll go to the Denver Broncos. I think the Denver
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: Broncos win that division. I think they're going to have
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: the best defense in the NFL.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: Play well.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: I think three teams in that division make the playoffs.
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: I think I think I think the Chiefs, the Chargers,
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: and the Broncos all make it. But I think the
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: Broncos win that division.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: It's not like it's not terrible because the Chiefs aren't always,
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: like especially last year, not very sexy during the regular
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: season or the playoffs. I mean they Patrick Mahomes did
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: not lead any category in passing statistics sometimes wasn't even
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: that darn't good. But they won the game because all
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: they do, all Andy Reid cares about is winning a
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: football game, doesn't matter how it looks. And they've all
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: bought into that, and they win these close games and
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: they do it, do it, do it. So in order
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: for your prediction to come right, they have to be
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: a lot like they were last year, but just come
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: fall a little bit short in those games, which they
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: have never proven to do that.
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: You just you look at again. I think the division
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: beats each other up.
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: You look at the games the Chiefs play out of
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: the division, the Ravens, the Eagles, the Lions, the Commanders,
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: the Bills. I mean they have a tough out of
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: division schedule. I mean there's a chance that happens.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: And you heard it. He said the Chargers are going
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: to win the division.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: I mean the Chargers very well could Alva said, imagine
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: thinking the NFL will let Taylor Swift not win the Visions.
• 39:17
  Speaker 9: This guy is going to be in the playoffs, right, Okay,
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: all right.
• 39:20

• 39:57
  Speaker 4: My Bowl prediction.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara for the first time in his career rushes
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: for a thousand yards.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, I look it for the first time. I like it.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: He's had seven eight, eight eighty three, seven ninety seven,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: nine two, eight ninety eight, eight ninety seven, six ninety
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: four and nine to fifty a year ago. I think
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: he's going to get an opportunity young quarterback. He's going
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: to have a lot of carries. If he stays healthy,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: he is going to be the driving force behind whatever
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the offense ends up being. We saw what Saquon did
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: last year obviously with the Eagles.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Eight, and he's got a room full of first and
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: second rounders blocking for that.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: He does that, he does, Derek that he does so.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara, first time in his career thousand yard rusher.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: That's bold. Has never happened, and he's played a long time.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: That is bold because never done it. Two segments ago
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: we talked about it. I know where like we were
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: trying to coach the running back on where to run
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: the ball.
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: Yep, they did not specify how many carries it would
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: to get to it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: I can take all of the.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: Three carries.
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: Had nine hundred and fifty yards last season.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Close.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: He's close, close, Alandra, you want to do your I.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: Didn't have an NFL one ready. I didn't know which
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: direction anywhere in football, So my bold prediction might be.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: I don't know how bold this is, but it's I
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: think that Harold Perkins will finish top three in Heisman voting.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, if you didn't know how bold that
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: WASLD So if.
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: I'm doing my research correctly, the last linebacker to finish
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: anywhere in the top three or even many TEO back
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: in twenty twelve. In twenty twelve, when he was in
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: he finished second in Heisman voting. He had forty nine
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: tackles solo tackles, sixty two assisted, and one and a
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: half sacks. I'm looking at Harold Perkins last like full
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: season back in twenty twenty three. Would he play the
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: full season in twenty twenty three?
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Anyways?
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: He had forty three solo tackles, thirty one assisted, and
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: five and a half sacks. In twenty twenty two he
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: had thirty nine solo, thirty three assisted, and in twenty
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: three at seventy four total tackles. So if he's gonna
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: have the breakout season that people say he is, he
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: has an opportunity to have the same amount, if not
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: better stats than Manny Tail last time at a linebacker.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: Oh was in high set.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Look if that, if that happens, LSU is in a
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: great spot as a team. We talked about it might
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: be the most important non quarterback across the country.
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, if that happens, come on, you'd have like him
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: and that's top three two. If that happens, we are.
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: You have a first round buy in the playoffs.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: We have a first round buy in the playoffs, for sure.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: I love it all right, Oh what the boulder the
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: bad as well?
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Let's take our last break of the week. Wrap it up.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Answering your question, we'll ask the bench here on OTVP
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: the bench, Yeah, you got perking the Heisman ceremony there
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: winning us.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: You know what you're enjoying?
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a bunch of dose seconds.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: You are feeder kicked up, going to dose more than
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: do having a great time that means LSU's having a
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: great season. Nothing pairs better than a good old dose
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: secids a little tailgate action there.
• 43:33
