  Speaker 3: into year number eight in the NFL. New Orleans Saints
• 12:02

• 12:08
  Speaker 3: How in the hell are you going into your number
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: eight already? Not feel like that's even possible?
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: I must feel because I was a little kid when

• 12:29
  Speaker 10: But you know, after every season you kind of moved
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: the bar and excited to go after you year number eight?
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Now, So what's it like going into training camp now
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: going into your number eight? Because Flynn and I were
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: telling kind of training camp stories like when you get
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: older in your career, it's a little bit different. You
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: have like a different mindset entering training camp. Like, so
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: for you, what is that mindset now as you're going
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: into your number eight? You're established veteran, you're a vested
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: veteran in the NFL. Is anything different for you?
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: The Uh?
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: I was just telling the guys, like the nerves stay
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: the same, Like I'm still just as nervous excited just
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: to get going as I was when I was a rookie.
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: But uh, there's also you know, I'm I'm confident in
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: you know, what I do now, Like I've I've figured
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: out who I am as a player, and I also
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: you know, you know, found my role. And one thing
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: I've you know, enjoyed over this past couple years is
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: not only you know, doing my thing, but also helping
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: you know, these younger guys figure out, you know, what
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: they're good at and you know, how to establish their
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: role in the NFL, kind of like what some older
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: guys did for me when I was younger.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a there's a big difference going into training camp,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: just really a mental and pressure standpoint of like you
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: just have to focus on your physical job now instead
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: of like learning how to be a pro learning offense.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Is like there's there's a huge pressure off your back.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: But I got I'm curious as to this your second
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: tenure with the Saints. Four years with the Saints, spent
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: sometimes with the Chargers, last year with the Bills. Now
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: we're back in New Orleans, and there's been obviously new
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: coaching change. Is there any familiar faces or things that
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: you see now that you're like, all right, that's that's
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: the same or is everything just been kind of like
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: a wholesale change.
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: Now. I've been I've been pretty lucky.
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: So I've played for Kellen in twenty twenty three in
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: LA uh coach nusion line coach. I've had him when
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: I was at the Saints my first run and was
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: hit with him in two years in LA. So I've
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: kind of been lucky in the terms of, like I've
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: already been in this offense. I've almost been like a
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: sounding board for these uh, these current guys of like
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: trying to figure out what's going on because I've already
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: been through it, going through it in twenty three, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: and you know, just being with the news my whole career.
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: Uh So, I you know, like you said, I'm going
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: to this camp kind of hitting the ground run in
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: just from a familiarity standpoint and just worrying about, you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: you know, putting my best product on the field physically
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: every day because I feel like mentally, you know, I've
• 14:51
  Speaker 10: I've already gone through the you know, the ups and
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: downs of figuring out a new playbook, you know, back
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: in twenty three, Kellen, what is.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: The plan for you this year? Will because obviously the
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: center position is going to be, you know, the one
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: that's out in front. But you've played everything. You've played
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: tight end. I mean I remember watching you your first
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: time with the Saints. It's like you're reporting you feel
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: like every time you're going in there and you're playing
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: some tight end stuff, like, what do you feel like
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the plan is going to be for you this time
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: around with the Saints?
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: Thanks to be a similar deal. It's anything and everything
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: with your If you're a backup with this league, you
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: need to be able to play multiple spots. It's something
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: that I got lucky enough that Coach Miles when I
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: was at LSU, he was always big on having guys
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: like me and Posik, you know, be able to play
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: a bunch of different spots. So I mean I literally
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: freshman year played right guard, sophomore year played left guard,
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: played center my junior year and that's I think helped
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: me in the NFL. And as a backup, you need
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: to be able to play multiple spots. Like you said,
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: I played tight end. So it's really just anything I
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: can do. To, you know, make myself valuable to make
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: this roster every year.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so will I kind of heard some once you
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: signed with the Saints. I heard you talk a few
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: times and say like, you know, when you heard Kellen
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Moore was getting the job, like you were hopeful that
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: that they would read out and something could happen. Y'all
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: could make it work. I kind of want to know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Like as as Louisiana and Hohole like gets familiar with
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Kellen Moore as a head coach for the Saints, like
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: we all want to we all want to see what
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: the product looks like on the field. But what made
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: you excited to want to rejoin with him and the
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: offense that that you're gonna get like immerse back into.
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: I think the most exciting thing about Kellen as a
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: play caller when I was with him in twenty three was,
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: you know, he he gave us the control to you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: make things happen on the field, and he showed us,
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: you know, the utmost confidence even when we weren't getting
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: it done.
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: On the field.
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: I mean, you guys have been in these in these
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: games where let's say you're not running the ball well
• 16:42
  Speaker 10: and you know your coach just abandons it. You're say,
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: all right, well it's the second quarter and this is
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: like a two minute drill now because we're not running
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: the ball. Well, like would just come up to us
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: on the line and be like, hey, guys, I'm still
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: calling us to figure it out.
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: Like I know, y'all gonna get this done.
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: Like like those small little moments like he never has
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: a panic, he never changes things are going well, things
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: are going.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Bad, He's the same guy. Uh.
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: I'm excited just to be back around that. And you know, uh,
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: the staff he's put together. You know, I love my
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: time with nus Uh. You know, also just being able
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: to chop it up a BATTLESU football with him. Yeah,
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: it's always a highlight of my day of being with
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: Nuge and the rest of the guys. So it's a
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: it's an exciting staff. It's you know, and I think
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: you know Callen being at the forefront, it's he uh,
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: he's just he's creating a great environment for us.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I kind of want to go back to you
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: talking about playing multiple positions and you've had to kind
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: of do it all. Well, I got like Trevor Pinning
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: is going to maybe have to do some different things.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: He's played a lot of tackle. He's gonna try to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: probably play some guard this year. Like, are those conversations
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: maybe that you've already had or that you will have
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: with him saying, Hey, this is you know, this was
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: my mindset when I went into a game, because I
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: could have played three different positions in any given game
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: that I went into.
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, just talking with Trev about the position
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: changed me. He's really embraced the guard move.
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: Trev's a super talented guy. And you know, some of
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: the stuff we've seen and we didn't have any live periods,
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: but in the individual periods where you know, you know
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: we're honing in on the technique. I mean, this guy's
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: a freak. I'm super excited to you know, watch him
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: develop and you know, help any way I can. I know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: News and TJ and job that. I mean, there's some.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: Great guys to you know, be able to mentor this guy.
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: And he's already played a ton of ball and I
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: think his best football still ahead of him. I think
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: this is his fourth season, h finally getting to play
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: inside and you know, I mean, this dude, when he
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: gets you in a phone booth, he's gonna beat up,
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: so these dudes arena be closer to him. I'm excited
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: to see what he can go through this season and
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: you know, hopefully this leads to you know, a big
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: contract and lets him you know, be the player that
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: we all thought he was going to be coming out.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Uh well, I can't like not go an interview without
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: asking something about quarterbacks, right.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Uh So, like you got you got.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Two young guys that are playing and and competer right now,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: and I don't want to like anything know about anything
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: specifically about that quarterback com petition. But you know, having
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: yourself and other like really vested veterans leadership can always
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: help a young quarterback or any young player come in,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: have to step in and take on a role, especially
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: you know position of all positions, the starting quarterback role.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: What have you seen from the young quarterbacks as far
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: as just diving into a new offense and trying to
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: take you know, some sort of leadership role, vocal role
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: within the team, within the offense.
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: I mean, these guys have been great all throughout OTA's
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: They've you know, it seems like they're attached to you know,
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: Scotty and Nuss's hip on just trying to you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: get every bit of information they can. And you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: there wasn't much like live Team Piers. They had a
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: couple seven on seven's, but uh, you know, we weren't
• 19:46
  Speaker 10: doing live bullets with pass rush and everything. But I
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: think the thing they did the best job of in
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: OTAs was becoming, you know, just close to all the guys.
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: I mean, you know, between Spence, Tyler or Jake, they
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: all you know, every day just trying to do something
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: with with all of us. I mean, you know, y'all
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: know how Ota is go. It's it's golf central.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: So I think it was.
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: Golfing were getting to know each other. Man.
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, the rounds go crazy and OTAs, but we uh
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: you know, that's that's the part that I feel like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: especially for QBS, is just you know, getting to know
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: everybody and uh being being great friends with all these
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: guys because you know, the relationships matter, especially you know
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: with your receivers and all that.
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: So I think they embraced that role.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: I think they're all excited to compete, and you know
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: the competition I'm excited to see during this camp.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Now, well, I know you are splitting time, I believe,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: through New Orleans and California. But you've gone through training
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: camps at LSU. You've done them there for the Saints
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: and some of the hottest places in America, and you
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: got spoiled like I did when I went to training
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: camp in San Diego. It's like, this is the easiest
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: thing I've ever done. Are we ready? Are we mentally
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: ready to get back into the heat and humidity of
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: a South Louisiana training camp?
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: Mh, I'm ready. I'm ready for it, but I won't
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: say I'm all love the heat of like you said.
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: I mean I was in I was in Newport Beach
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: for for two years for camp and it felt I
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: mean it felt like winter out there. I mean I've
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: had chrismssus otter than what we were doing in training
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: camp there. And then I was in Rochester, New York
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: last year for camp. So it's, uh, it's definitely be different,
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: but uh yeah, like I said, the the motivation is
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: still the same, you know, being uh being this league
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: so long, it's a it's an addictive thing just being
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: in the you know, being in the locker room and
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: you know, wanted to keep your career going. So I'm
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: I'm just as excited, you know, Newport or UH or
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: New Orleans.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you don't have to lie to this about
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the heat, do Like, I get it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I was in Green Bay for one year and I
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: came back to try to do one tens with a
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: team at LSU during the summer one year. Ye, and
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: I couldn't make it past like six or seven. I
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: was like, not this in for me anymore. My body
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: is just like shut off, being like in the heat.
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: So We're about to go run conditioning test in a
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: little bit and it's nowhere near what we did with
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: the ones ends.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: The NFL condition and tests are kind of a joke.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: You know, Wait, Mom is not going to be out
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: there yelling at you, whispering sweet nothings.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: I was part of that group that ran thirty two
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: one ends uh and one conditioning test day and then
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: we did a league workout after, so yeah, I won't
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: be going through that today. It's amazing the things you
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: can do when you're nineteen or twenty years old.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Very true, It is true.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: So I got all right, So this is what I'm
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: really curious about. Have we talked technique? I know, we
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: haven't read beause we don't pads on yet. I say,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: we we're you know, Saints people over here. So y'all
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: haven't worked because you don't pads on. But y'all talk
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: technique scheme. What's the x's and o's look like of
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: a toush push.
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: Of a tush push? So we haven't talked about a
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: tush push yet. Oh as soon I know they have,
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: I know tush push they have. They told us they
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: have specific drills they do. They have not heed it
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: to us. Okay, I'm I'm excited to see.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: You know, you're going to be in there, like if
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: there is a situation of a to push, you'll be
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: in there, right, there's no doubt.
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: I mean, would be pretty cool.
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, I mean obviously, I think what makes the
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: toush push like the what it was for the Eagles
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: was like Jason Kelcey just being an absolute freak.
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: But I'm excited to see like that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: They said they have like specific drills they did for
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: so I'm excited to see like the film on it all.
• 23:21

• 26:35
  Speaker 4: They will actually dedicate a project manager to your job
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: and your job only, so give them a call service
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: and quality. Oh helicanroof dot com?
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: Why blocked in?
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I'm LSU football twenty four to seven. You're listening to
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: off the Bench too?
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome again, OTB one oh four five, ESPN,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Beton Rouge. Let's go now to one of our guys.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: LSU defense coordinator Blake Baker. Coach, always a pleasure. Hope
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: you're doing well. Training camp is upon us? Coach? What
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: training camp is this for you? Between playing at Tulane
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: coaching over the years, Like do we know do we
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: have a number of what training camp this is for you?
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: Uh? In college football? I guess it'd probably be probably
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: year altogether. You're twenty, I think.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: All right, so I know coach, Hey, we both hit
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: forty over here, me and Flynn, so we feel that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: But I asked that because I would assume you probably
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: have like the same feeling. Maybe it's maybe it's different
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: as a player and a coach. I've never been a coach,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: but we were talking about it. It didn't matter like year four, five,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: six in the NFL whatever, Like there's still this feeling
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: in your gut and look, it's a good feeling, like
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: football's opponent us. But like twenty years in, do you
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: still get that same feeling.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's kind of a mix of butterflies of excitement
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: and anticipation. And you know anytime especially you know, like
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: and I always go back to whenever I first started playing.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: You couldn't have freshmen come in early in the summers.
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: Summers overall were probably fifty to fifty because schools didn't
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: necessarily pay for summer school. So got that anticipation build
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: up of seeing the guys again. And yeah, I think
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: if you start to lose that feeling, it's probably time
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: to hang it up.
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I think everybody has this coach but like a training
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: camp story from your playing day, And like we were
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: talking about a couple of weeks ago, there was one
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: practice where like every and this was at LSU, like
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: every running back went down with cramps, like Ali, Bruce
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Sar Justin Vincent like all these guys, like they just
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: kept cramping and they were out of practice. And so
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: it was me and Sean Jordan, who we both played fullback,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: but I was playing some tailback and we just rotated
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: full back and tail back, like Sean had no tailback experience,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: but it's all we had left and so first team
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: second teen thirteen. It didn't matter. We were just rotating
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: and like that was one of those days that ended
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: up in like twenty five ivs, you know, yep, in
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the locker room and you can't really even do that anymore.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: But I know, I have to imagine that you have
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: one of those training camp stories.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, there's well again. Back you know, back when
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: we played yet freshman you had three days of freshman
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: camp and we actually went away when I was at TWULA.
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: My first two years we went to Saint Paul's and
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: Covington and did Baul camp there. Then my third year
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: we went to Southeastern before they brought back their football
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: team there on Strawberry Field. But I'll never forget, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: I want to I want to say it was that Southeastern.
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: I know, I know it was one of the places
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: that we we traveled to for camp. But after you know,
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: after some practices in between two days of course, you
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: had to get that that lift in too right and
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: uh man, I remember a guy on our team was
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: in the middle of a bench press and full body
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: cramp just locked up and the bar just laid down
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: his chest and you're like, man, like you said, that
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: wouldn't happen nowadays, you know, But yeah, we've all had
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: those days, especially in South Louisiana. You can't. You could
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: try to beat the heat, but obviously you're doing two
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: days and you're getting in there, you know, starting before
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: the sun came up and then when the sun was
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: going down, so made for long days. But I do
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: remember that was one of the It was kind of
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: really scary, to be honest with you, watching a guy
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: full body cramp with with bench with the bench press
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: bar in his hand.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: So when we were playing and everybody on the team,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: not everybody, but there's like twenty thirty guys, I had mopets,
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: and so I was one of these guys had a moped.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: I'd zoom around from my dorm or whatever to the
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: locker room and I got I was walking to my
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: moped after training camp practice, and I'm a quarterback now, right,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: so all we do is like play.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Catch and run around a little bit.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: But like I was walking and I just felt a
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: little twitch in my calf, and I was like, you
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: know what, maybe I don't jump on my moped. Right
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: the second I walked back in the training with full
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: body cramp, the worst, most excruciating pain.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, think, if.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: I was on my moped right now, full body cramp,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I'd be laying out like I'm at the circle right now.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: Probably have You probably have a pretty scratched up face.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: Control it once you lock up right, maybe career would
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: have been over right there off the Toyota moped coach.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about your defense a little bit. Jake,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: and I had the opportunity at SEC Media Days last
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: week to talk with Chris Hiltondu Smyer and your guy
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: with Weeks, and I want to ask you just watching
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: with control of room, watching him talk with the passion
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: I was. I looked at Jake and I was like, man,
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: I think I would I would die for this guy
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: right right now.
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: He got me five.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Have you ever been around a player that has such
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: an infectious positive attitude that just around the area that
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: he carries himself with.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: No, He's very unique in that way. And then especially
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: the you know it was interested in watching as the
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: year went on. You know, sometimes guys let success go
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: to their head or change a little bit, like he's
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: he's still the same wit weeks today that he was
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: you know when I first came in last spring. But
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: you're exactly right when you talk about his positivity, like
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: he brings that even when it's you know, one hundred
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: and thirty degrees out on a practice field and everybody's tired.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: He's really never, never negative, you know, to be honest
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: with you, and I think our guys feed off of that,
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: and really it's it's something that we try to pride
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: ourselves in, you know, as far as being positive and
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: uplifting and not necessarily dragging each other down. But he's
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: the epitome of it. He does it as well as
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: anybody I've ever been around.
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: It's a group that's got a lot of players, and
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: you and I have talked about this. A lot of
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: guys that I would consider meatheads again term of endearment,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: but like I feel like, like in this defense, like
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: it's important to have those guys. It's important to have
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: those guys like like Flynn said, like I think I
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: die for this guy. Well, I think with and I
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: think West, and I think Hybrin, Like all those guys
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: would die for LSU's defense. And it feels like you've
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: got a great combination of those guys mixed with some
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: just raw talent, mixed with some young guys, mixed with
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: guys from kind of all over the place. It feels
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: like a better mixture of personalities this.
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: Year, Oh for sure. I think I think it's it's
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: probably spread out across the board, like you just talked about,
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: when you've got a really really good, strong group of
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: upper classmen mixed in with some younger classmen that have
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: played some football as well. But those guys, they you know,
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: there's they spend more time in the weight room and
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: and out on the field running one tens than they
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: do you know, in practice, especially this time of year.
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: So to see those guys in that leadership, you know,
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: getting out there for some team runs this summer and
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: watching them, man, it's imperative and in the unselfishness like
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: there's no Again, we have a lot of really good players,
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: in my opinion, but they're all bought into one common goal.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: So that makes it a we got a chance to
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: have a special unit based off of those things.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Hey, coachin y'all did a really good job this offseason
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: in the transfer portal, you bringing Patrick Payton, you bringing
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: mansword delaying to Marcus Cooley to secure some spots on
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: the defense. Tell me what that process is and just
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: integrating them with two you know guys personality wise, but
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: more importantly into your scheme.
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it starts. I think our our personnel
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: department does an outstanding job with evaluating the type of
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: talent that we feel is a really good fit for
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: what we do defensively. And then it's kind of like
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: speed dating once you're once you're in the transfer portal process.
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: But the but the one thing I'll say is the
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: advantage you have from a transfer portal process is usually,
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: you know, so somebody on that staff, whether it be
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: a streamth coach, whether some of them supports staff, usually
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: somebody that you've worked with byer, and you can really
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: get a fair assessment. And and sometimes you know their
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: assessment isn't always true as well, just because some guys
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: need a fresh start, and so you got to take
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: all those things into consideration. But throughout that entire process,
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: you have to make sure that they're a fit for
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: for the culture and and all those all those guys
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: that you mentioned have been a plus. It's been again
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: really really fun because we needed some upperclassmen, to be
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: honest with you too, and and these guys have come
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: in humble and hungry, and it's been fun to watch
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: the integration of the current players that we had before
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: they arrived, and then once they got here, it's it's
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: been pretty seamless.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Well Blake, like you said, like you had a chance
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: to see them in the weight room and running one tens,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: but now here coming up, they're going to be in paths.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: It's going to be football activities. Which position group with
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: you know, all the new coming into this defense and
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: you pair with guys that were here, Which position group
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: do you think you'll eye hustle the most, like in
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: that first week of training camp to kind of because
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: you've got a belief of what they are and what
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: they can be, but now you want to see it
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: in pass. Which group are you probably going to maybe
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: watch the closest? I guess that first week of camp.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd say it's probably it's probably twofold. I think
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: the safeties, you know, especially with aj Halsey coming in,
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: you know, most of the guys we had through spring
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: PRACTICEE have somewhat of an expectation of those guys going
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: into the fall camp. But I think the safety position
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: and the defensive tackle position the same thing we got.
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: We got some new guys that weren't here in the spring.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: When you look at Bernard and the two freshmen Buddy
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: Mathis and Brandon Brown not having a chance to outside
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: of that for the most part, you know, and really
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: the young guys at linebacker, I'm really intrigued to see,
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: you know, what what those three income and freshmen do. Again,
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: we had Charles Ross here, so uh. But but overall,
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: I'd say the safety position is probably what I'll be
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: and most interested and seeing how those guys gel. I
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: think you have to have such chemistry back there together,
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: and we've been mixing a match at them this summer,
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: and I think it'll be an intriguing position battle.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Hey, coach, I'm curious as to kind of your schedule
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: once training camp starts with your installation and then how
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: that kind of flips over to game planning. Of course,
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: you're gonna install base defenses, teach them the foundation of
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: what you want to do, and then kind of get
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: into like the more detailed and.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Intricate things after that.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: But week one you never want to like look ahead
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: or game plan, but of course you face a mobile guy,
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: dual threat kind of guy with a kid club. And
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: do you start like integrating those types of defensive philosophies
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: and schemes earlier on because of what you're gonna face
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: first game.
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, to be honest with you, uh, that last week
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: of spring ball, we started introducing you know, cleanse in
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: and some of their base plays and honestly some of
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: their problem plays, just to kind of get a look
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: at what we think we might like going into fall camp.
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: So yeah, and I think you know, coach Kelly has
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: been open and talked about it. It's something that we've
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: talked about with our guys throughout spring, throughout summer. So
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: you know, really when it comes to installation, a lot
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: of it's going to be based on when that specific
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: day early on. That is what I'm talking about, That
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: specific day comes up on the install schedule, whether it
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: be you know, day one for instance. And again from
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: when we played to now, the installation process and the
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: acclimization processes really changed. I think it's I think it's
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: like sixty or sixty five percent of all camp injuries
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: come in the first two days, we've gotten much smarter
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: and I don't want to use the word easing guys
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: into but our practices the first couple of days are
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: generally shorter so they can get acclimated again they've had
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: all summer. But as we all know on this phone call, man,
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: once you start really chasing the rabbit, man, you kick
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: those hamstrings into extra gear. So I think, you know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: from a base installation standpoint, we'll be very similar to
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: really how we were in the spring and how the summer,
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: and then once we start getting into probably about week
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: two and a half, we'll really start probably flipping that switch.
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: A little bit.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: As Matt mentioned, we wor at SEC media days last
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: week and BK got up there and he's like, hey,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: we're not hiding from the fact that we're playing Clemson
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: in week number one. Talked about having Paul Prince around
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: the facility. Want to oh around the facility. That is
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: a little bit different, but I gotta be honest, like,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: I really like that. And Matt and I in our
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: time we played I think three Power four opponents in
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: our four years of playing here, and I always like
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: coach like, hey, let's don't try to hide from who
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: the opponent is. And I hadn't really seen that in
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: years past when Elsh's had these big time openers, So
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: it seems like it's a point of emphasis to know
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: who the opponent is.
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you know that the definition of insanity
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: is doing the same thing over and over and expecting
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: a different result, right, And so, you know, I think
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: and I think that's the coolest thing about coach Kelly Man.
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: He's always learning, he's always adapting. I think he does
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: it year to year based off the opponent. Also, you
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: know who is on our current roster, and I think
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: we have a very mature roster that can handle you know,
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: some some you know, you have a young team, sometimes
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: you can build it up too much, right, And so
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: I think does a fantastic job with that. But I'm
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: excited about I know we're doing some things differently in
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: fall camp and we haven't gotten necessarily into the nuts
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: and bolts of what those things are going to be.
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: But again, I think it's just created a little more
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: sense of vergence two with our guys too.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, coach real quick tell us about how the new
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: defensive line Coach Kyle Williams has just kind of like
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: dove in and been part of the staff the recruiting
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: and just how he's jumped in and really kind of
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: helped us. I was, you know, I was roommates with
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: him for a year in college. I was teammates with
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: him in Buffalo for a cup of coffee. And when
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: when you hired him, I was like, man, I don't
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: want to say that this was an amazing hire because

• 41:20
  Speaker 4: how he how has he been around the facility?
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: Man, he's He's the One thing that's very very impressive
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: about Williams is how proactive he is attacking things that
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: he might not necessarily know and sometimes is you know,
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: a college coach has been doing it a while. You
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: take Brandon and I'm talking about the little things like
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: how to do an expense report for recruiting or even
• 41:44

  Speaker 8: thirteen years, been an All pro as an All American
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: at the school year. I think he and credibility with
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: our guys, and I think it's actually even improved throughout
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: the spring as they've gotten to know them because he
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: coaches them, you know, hard, but he loves them just
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: as hard and we'll do anything for him. And I
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: think those guys realize that pretty quickly in the process.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: All right, coach last one, we had you on a
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. You said that it felt like

  Speaker 3: Perk and Witt we're both progressing exactly where they needed
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: to be to start training camp. Does it feel the

  Speaker 3: same way good to go as we hit the ground
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: running here?
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, both guys are fully cleared. And you know,
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: the one thing I've talked to both of them about
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: is we're obviously going to be smart with them and
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: fall camp, and they can't be too big of a
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: meathead where you know, like, no, coach, I'm good, I'm good,
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: I'm good, and you're really not. So something you know
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: when you talk about kind of position group wise, like
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: who I'm going to be making sure I'm paying attention to, definitely,
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: and it helps to have an experience with both those
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: guys with making sure that they look crisp, and with
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: today's technology and everything, and with GPS is we can
• 43:04
