  Speaker 6: time off, if you had a chance to maybe relax
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: a little bit with I know Ota is coming up,
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: but hopefully you got a chance to catch up on
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: some sleep or some family activities.
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was solid, solid day, like a good six
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: and a half out of.
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: Time okay, strong, quite strong.
• 1:38
  Speaker 9: About mediocre? Okay, Okay, we'll take that. What's your what's
• 1:40
  Speaker 9: your ideal hot dog? Like if you have to dress
• 1:42
  Speaker 9: a hot dog, what's your ideal hot dog?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Uh, a hamburger.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: Not a bad answer.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: That's fair, that's fair, that's completely fair.
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: So before the Saints, like you know, go to Oda
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: and kind of look at what they have, I'm going
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: to ask you kind of a two part question, all right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Then we could be positive in one and we could
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: be negative in the other. So give me the move
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: that the Saints made that make you believe they'll be
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: contenders in the NFC South, and then give me the
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: move they didn't make to make you believe they won't
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: be contenders in the NFC South.
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: I think the like the contenders in the NFC South.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Can I do it two for one because I.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Feel like they kind of go together. Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: I feel like the David Edwards slash Slash eight chan
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: ad is massive for them. I mean, they got a
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: block better, They got to be able to run inside zone.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: They couldn't run inside zone last year.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: I think a lot of that had to do with blocking.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: And then they get it back that's fit for it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: So I think that all helps. It opens up everything,
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: and you know the play action game, I think they've
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: become stronger there. So I think being able to run
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: the ball is going to be a huge help for them.
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: I mean it, you know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: I think as good as Shuck was last year, man
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: he was on pace like for his seventeen game average
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: was like forty six hundred yards or something, which guys
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: don't throw for that many yards anymore. But I think
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: giving him a running game like he even helps with
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: that so much more.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: The move they didn't make that concerns me.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: It's just like global defensively, like they had a There's
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: a lot of ways you look at this, and you
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: can get into the numbers and there's a lot of
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: things that suggest this was a top ten defense last year.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: And I think Brendon Staley did a terrific job down
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: the stretch just getting the most out of these guys
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: and everything. But when you look at the depth chart,
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: it doesn't it doesn't give you a lot of hope.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: There's a lot of spots where it feels like that
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: they could be vulnerable. I don't feel great about whether
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: they're at a corner. It could be okay, but it
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: might not be.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: The no pass.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Rusher opposite Chase Young really concerns me.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Quite a bit.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: It's just there's no stars on that side of the ball.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: Other than Chase Young, who you know, if they win
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: ten games, I think is very easily and not that
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Pro Bowl discussion if the team has the height. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: I just don't think they did enough on that side
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: of the and I could see it coming apart for them.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: They were good on like a per run basis last year,
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: but it was on twenty yards per game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I just don't.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I don't feel great about where they're aut on that side.
• 4:11
  Speaker 9: Hmm, okay, Nick, that was kind of he kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: answered a little bit of what my next question was.
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: Going to be like leading into going into the season.
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: The OTA's are about to start and coming off the
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: off season, like every team or most teams in the
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: entire all thirty two, they have something to be hopeful.
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: They everybody pretty much improved, whether those free agency or
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: you can at least be hopeful that you improved in
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: the draft. You don't really know how that's going to
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: pan out, but every team feels like there have been improvements,
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: and certainly the Saints are in that same category with
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: the way the season ended on kind of a hot
• 4:46
  Speaker 9: streak but against weaker opponents, and then what they've done
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: in the off seas. How hopeful should the Saints fan
• 4:54
  Speaker 9: base be? I think Vegas has there like over under
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: wind total like seven and a half? They do you
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: think that it's about right? Like what do you think
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: the ceiling is or could be for this tame?
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: Seven and a half feels like a good number, Like
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: I'm always and I think when you're looking at it
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: too closely, you tend to always look at things through
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: the prism of like how things are going to work
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: out instead of like what if these twelve things go wrong?
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: And Vegas is always right on the twelve things that
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: end up going wrong. Like I feel like if I
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: was in the line, I'd probably be a game higher.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: And you know, a couple of things go right, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: I think they could easily be a ten win team.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: I see an offense that looks like it should be
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: really good. I mean they added a ton of speed
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: to it. You know, Noah fan doesn't get talked about
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: a lot. I think that's a nice speed element. Delp
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: is a good speed element at tight end. Jordan Tyson,
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: I think obviously takes them to another level. They get
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: it a home run hitter running back a chance had
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: like twelve thirty yard runs in the same span that
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: the Saints have had one. I mean, like, so I
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: think just things like that or since since twenty twenty two. Yeah,
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: and there one was estimate it was orodric estime last
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: year was the one thirty yard run.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: So I think offensively they should be really good and
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: that you know, I think their line should be really
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: good with the addition to Edwards. It's just it's that
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: defense side that that kind of worries me a little bit.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: But I think people should be optimistic overall. Like let's
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: say they end up around seven. I think it would
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: probably be an optimistic seven, though. I think there's a
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: lot of stuff going the right direction so long as
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: Tyler Shuck isn't smoking mirrors. But I think we're so
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: far beyond that. I think he's a He's a viable
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: NFL starter. It's just a matter of where he ranks
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: in that top twenty. But I think he's already proven
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: that he can play. I think I think I believe
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: in him. A reason for optimism is just kind of
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: how he carried himself this offseason. Two was just here
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: the whole time lived here, was at the facility every
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: single day except for like five days after his child
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: was born.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I was told, you.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Know, I think like a real leader, like really building
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: the culture. And another thing I'm optimistic about too, is
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: just kind of the way this team handled the lows
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: last year. Like we were around teams man the Kubiak year.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: They win those first two games and hopes are extremely high,
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: and then they lose to and you just felt that
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: whole entire team shatter, like there was something toxic in
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: the water, like you you know, there's just they were
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: just waiting to shatter. This was the team I had
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: every reason to shatter through the first eight nine weeks
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: the last season and didn't. So I just think, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: being a younger team building it that way, kind of
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: having this new fresh start, I think is a reason
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: for optimism too. Like nobody's jaded here right now, Like
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: they all feel like they're heading the right direction, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: you know, I think that can carry you. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: if if that Kubiak season, I think it happened earlier
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: in DA's tenure, like they might have bounced back from that,
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: but it was just crazy how quickly like everybody turned
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: right then. So I just kind of think just being
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: being at a new start is extremely beneficial for them too.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: So I don't know, it's tough for me to see
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: a scenario where we're sitting here in January, like, oh man,
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: Like I just I can't believe everything went like that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: It feels it feels like those reasons for optimism and
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: it feels like it's having the right reaction.
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: Is the you talked about Tyler Shuck and you don't
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: think it's smoking mirror? So do you really do you
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: think based on you know, watching the film, You've watched
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: the film, probably more than more than most. A lot
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: of success down the stretch again, a little bit weaker
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: of a schedule to in the season. Do you think
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: that based on the film, like that is something that
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: can that can be there, that type of performance, that
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: level of play for seventeen games for a full time starter,
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: Because I mean, we think so, But I think the
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: Saints were also a positioned to like kind of get
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: overly hyped like that the first sign of anything good.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: A little bit of overreaction. Do you think it's an overaction?
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: Do you, like legit, think that Tyler Shuck could be
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: that dude for a long time?
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Well, look if he if he isn't like I think
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: they need to, you know, I think they have a
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: massive problem. I mean, you put all this stuff around
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: him and it doesn't work. I mean you're kind of
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: you're probably looking at it, like if he's not good,
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: let's say they're way below that seven games. Let's say
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: they win four games, five games, Like, I think you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: in the quarterback market again, Like.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: I think that's where you would end up. I do
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: believe in.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Him, though, man, Like it's just a matter of is
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: he top twenty, is he top fifteen? Is he top ten?
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Like you know, where does he where does he fall
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: in that? And that, you know, the hierarchy of quarterbacks.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: But there's a lot of stuff that I think, you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: you can put numbers on it that I think paint
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: a very positive picture, like just isolating Chris Olave's targets
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: shuck through to him with like a foot less of
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: throwing window per average on throws, which means he's not
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: a okay see it throw at quarterback like he's thrown
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: with the anticipation. We saw that the whole time, the
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: third and the third and eight and longer. Last year,
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: he had the best quarterback rating in the NFL during
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: his fan as a starter, like yeah, weaker opponents, but
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: like he's rising to the moment in these tough downs,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: in these tough situations, which I think allows you to
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: look at him as if he could be elevator of
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: a team. But yeah, weaker schedule, small sample half a season.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: People are gonna spend an offseason looking at him. You know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: people aren't going to be sleeping on the Saints at all,
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: like people, you know, I think there's a lot of
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: stuff that you that you have to continue to prove.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: We've seen a ton of guys have small windows. The
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: one thing I like about him though, is that you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: it's nine games and it's not the Josh jobs for
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: you know, like a lot of guys don't last the
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: eight nine games, and there's positivity at the end of it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: But I like the way he carries himself too, looking
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: the other thing too, like the sophomore swamping, all that stuff.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: I think the fact that he's twenty seven, twenty eight
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: years old kind of helps put him on the other
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: side of that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: It's not Hey, I'm twenty two.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: And I have millions of dollars in a little bit
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: of fame and I'm going to go crazy like he's
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: twenty seven, he has a kid, like he's he's you know, living,
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: but I don't want to say where he's living. But
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: you know, he's not living in the city, like he's
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: living where he doesn't have a lot of neighbors. So like,
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: I just think the way he carries himself is is
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: is a plus. You know, he's he just feels settled
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: in a way that I think maybe you know, a
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: twenty two.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Year old wouldn't.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: So I'm not as worried about like the slumping stuff
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: with him either.
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: I'll answer my own question and add on to yours,
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: is that I've also invested in some Tyler Shuke rookie cards.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: So that's how I think. All right, that's how I
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: fin There you go. You're heavily, heavily invested. I believe, no,
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: I know you should. It is wild, like all jokes aside,
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: and obviously Nick Underhill's our guest who joined us every Tuesday,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: and Nick, you cover the Saints, but you're also objective
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: in what you see. It has been wild to hear
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: some of the second year quarterback conversation between Tyler Shuck
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: and Cam Woard and Jackson Dart and Shador Sanders and
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: still people don't realize what Tyler Shuck did a year ago.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: And I know the Saints didn't have a great year,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: and I know we're close to it, but what he
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: did last year, what he was on pace to do,
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: And again, I don't want to be disrespectful, but it's
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: just the facts. He was throwing to uber drivers at
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: the end of the year. I'm just kind of surprised
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: shocked that people aren't giving themselves over to what Tyler
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Shuck can be in this season.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: It might surprise you that a lot of people that
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: like talk about football don't watch a lot of football.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: You just kind of see this stuff man.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: Like it's the truth though, Like some of these like
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: quarterback listening, that's like you didn't, you aren't You aren't
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: really watching all these people, Like you're just kind of
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: ranking these guys based on PFF grades and you know
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: all this stuff, but like if you were actually watching them,
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: man Like, I just don't know, I don't. It feels
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: like there's buzz out there, but it doesn't feel like
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: there's enough at the same time, Like one primetime game
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: is kind of crazy to me, Like what did Jackson
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: Dark do to get for Like, I understand that New
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: York has the plus and there's going to always be
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: a little bit more hype around New York and what's
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: going on with the Giants, but like what makes them
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: four times more appealing than the Saints at this point?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, it just doesn't make sense to me.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: So look, that's fine though, Like you can go out there,
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: you can prove it, and he can shut everyone up.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: And you know, because I'm a bit of a mission
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: a little bit of a chip on the shoulder, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: you know, I think he's the type of guy that
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: those things are good fuel for him.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: You know, he's kind of got a little bit of.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: That that edge and the you know a little bit
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: of that that quiet after world type stuff to him.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: So I like that he has that fuel.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I agree, man, Like it's kind of it's
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: kind of crazy, but I mean, look, pull up any
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: any quarterback power ranking article and like the blurbond check
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: is kind of like for real, like did you actually
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: sit down and study these games?
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: And you know a lot of times I think the
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: answer is no, Right.
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: All right, Nick, what do you what's your schedule like
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: for OTAs what's your day to day going to be,
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: Like what are you going to be looking for writing about?
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Like how do you approach these OTAs?
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Thursday is the first day we're allowed out there,
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: so we get one a week for the next three weeks,
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: and then they have usually there's three mini camp practices,
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: but I think they're only going to do too like
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: probably do a team bonding or something on the third day,
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: which we saw they like to do last year. You know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: you go out there and you tell yourself, I'm not
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: going to overhype everything I see on the first day
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: of practice, and then you sit down in your computer
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: at the person you everything you saw, Yeah, you over
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: have everything you saw on there. You annoint someone like
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: Corey Fuller as you know, a possibility of making the team,
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: and then you know, August fifteenth comes and you realize
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: how dumb that was.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Harris. There's just so many of them over over time.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: But yeah, like you know, I think what I'm looking
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: for is just kind of yeah, I just want to
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: see how the timing is with the offense. I want
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: to see where where they're kind of settling in right away,
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: you know, put eyes on Jordan Tyson actually catching passes
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: from you know, a real quarterback as opposed to kind
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: of what they had out there at rookie camp.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen eight chan yet.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: David Edwards, like, I'm eager to see like Chase Young
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: and just what another off season and work did for him.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: Like that's someone like as you're looking at the optimism thing,
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: he was like a completely different person last year, Like
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: something clipped for him. And you know, I hate doing
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: in this, but like even watching like the little videos
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: they put out of like the workouts and stuff, like
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: he's the guy hyping people up. It kind of seems
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: like maybe he understands he's got to step into that
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: that leadership area. And if he does, man like that
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: guy has everything to be like a dominant player in
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: the league.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: And I think we're starting to see it come together.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: If there's another step there, I mean, that would be
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: a really exciting thing for them.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: But look, the tight.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: Ends are kind of the other thing that I really
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: want to see, Like the speed at that position, Like
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: what's it?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: What's it?
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Look Like I covered the Patriots, but when they did
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: the uh the Gronk and Hernandez thing, and and you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: kind of seeing how that transformed them. Like you saw
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: like right away in those practices like the speed and
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: the difference and you know all that stuff. Uh, you
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: saw a lot of what was transforming the Patriots. Maybe
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: not all of it at that position, but yeah, I mean,
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: like some of some of the stuff popped right away,
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: and uh, I'm just excited to see what it looks
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: like for for the Saints. There's just like a lot
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: of talent there, man, Like, so I think that that's
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: where my eyes are going to go right away.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, it's passing camp, so that is kind
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: of the place to look.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: But like Kool Aiden and Qussy Riley too, I think
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: are two huge keys going back to the first thing
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: we were talking about, like reasons for hoping and pessimism.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: If there's gonna be hope on that defense, Like both
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: those guys got gotta keep going. I really like the
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: way kol Aid finished the season last year. But I
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: think that's the position where if you were you know, hey,
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: look they fall under the Vegas line, Like where are
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: you drafting them in the first round next year? I
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: think I think cornerback would be right at the top
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: of that list. Is one of those things that as
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: of today, if you had to project it, you'd probably
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: be looking.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: For it all right, Last one, Nick, and we always
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: appreciate the time. Outside of Jordan Tyson, give me the
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: rookie player that could take over for a veteran player
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: before the season kicks off, not into the season, but
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: the rookie player outside of Jordan Tyson that could be
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: a starter from game number one on this team.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not gonna happen.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: Like maybe at some point later in the season, like
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: Jeremiah right, maybe like Jason Miller.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Christian Miller would.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Probably be my pick for a guy over God Child,
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: like I could see him taking that job from him.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Do you think he'll play nose or do you think
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: he'll play in and like Brian BRAZI might need to worry.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: I think he'd probably be on the nose. That would
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: probably be my guess. Look, Xavian Harris too, like if
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: he gets if he gets held, like, that's that's an
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: interesting battle. I think just you know that that first
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: down role, like overall, a lot of guys there and
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: you bring in two behind him. Xavian Harris man like
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: I seen him, he had the walking boot on. I
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: mean that is a giant in a room of giants,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: like you watch in the room and like you just
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: kind of he's different. So that that's the one I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: looking at too. I think, like right right, just needs
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: a lot of work, but like there's a lot of
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: potential there when I watch him, Like I feel a
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: little bit differently about him as some of the Scotting reports.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: I think I think that there's a little bit of
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: a runway there, but there's definitely a possibility if he
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: starts to take off, Like that's the spot where I
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: think they would want to guy to to emerge too,
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: maybe so it'd be interesting, but like he'd have to
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: beat down Raidens to who I'm kind of high on
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: in that that you know, six six o line role.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I think those would be Christian Miller would
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: be my pick.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: For that one.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: I like that one.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: I think he's a player, certainly has a very high ceiling.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: All right, Nick Underhill, new Or's stuff football joins us
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: every single Tuesday, Nicholas, We appreciate the time, sir.
• 18:22

• 18:33
  Speaker 6: like for the first time and get the rookies out there,
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: the new free agent signings. Not by the time you

• 19:30
  Speaker 6: in college.
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that was fun though.
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you're in the hud looking over and it was
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: like Charles Woodson then like I'm calling to play and
• 19:35

  Speaker 3: Win the whole thing?
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: My first weekend winner is the New York Nicks. That's right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: And how did you become a Knicks fan?
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Well, remember, we didn't have the Pelicans here in Louisiana
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: when I was growing up, and so and even the
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Mavericks were kind of a new franchise at the time,
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: and so they were the closest, but that didn't matter.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: So there was a lot of people my age that
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: were going to be Bulls fans because of WGM, because
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: of MJ. There was some Laker fans as well, but
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: I decided to go with John Starks and Patrick Ewing
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: and Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason and NAT.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Crew that fit more of my style.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: And so I've been following the Knicks ever since the
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: early nineties, and it's been a lot of bad.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: It's been some good, but it's been mostly bad.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Last time they made the NBA Finals was nineteen ninety nine,
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: so I was fourteen years old the last time they
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: made the NBA Finals. How old were you, Landra in
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: nineteen ninety nine?
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: One?
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Taylor, how were you in nineteen ninety nine?
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: Three?
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: You were fourteen, Matt, We're the same age. I know
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: the answer to that one.
• 22:54

• 22:56
  Speaker 6: were in the NBA finals iPhone, book, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Tesla, SpaceX, Bitcoin, Gmail, Amazon, Prime,

  Speaker 5: Couple of players, probably one, maybe two.

  Speaker 9: Let's go to racing Indy five hundred this past weeken
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: I don't even really know how to pronounce his last name,

  Speaker 9: but Felix Rosenfest I nail that.
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: He won it in the closest Indy five hundred in
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: the history of the race, winning the race by point
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: zero two three three seconds. That's pretty pretty tight margin
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: right there when you're going like two hundred miles an hour.
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: And there was also seventy lead changes. He took the
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: lead right on the final lap, wins in dramatic form
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: seventy lead changes, which is an all time record at
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: the Indy five hundred, which is incredible and just kind
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: of a week in winter like four the Indy five
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: hundred in general, a lot of beautiful tributes to Kyle
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: Busch on the heels A lot of emotion in the
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: racing community and the racing family, and a lot of
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: really nice things were said done, and a lot of
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: tributes made to him as well in the NASCAR world
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: of course, but also in the Indy five hundred.
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: Just in the race and family.
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: But shout out and in a purse that I think
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: it's the biggest one in history of the purse for
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: all the drivers over thirty million. Oh my gosh, dialas
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: I think the winner got for just over four million.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: That's insane the win. So you know, shout out.
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: It's pretty amazing that erase that is that far and
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: that long, it has the history that it does, that
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: the closest one ever.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, finished this past weekend, so very cool.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Shout out, uh weekend winner for me, I'm gonna go
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State softball just because it's their first time heading
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to the Women's College World Series and it's just a
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: lot of first form Mississippi State here and Oklahoma, so
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: first time Oklahoma has missed the Women's College World Series
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen, so a decade. And they were also
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: shut out for the first time since twenty nineteen, snapped
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: a streak of three hundred and ninety nine straight games,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: scoring at least once, and that was done by junior
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Delaney Everett and it was actually her first career start
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: that she shut out the Oklahoma Sooners.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State head coach Samantha Ricketts played under Patty Gasso
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: from two thousand and six to two thousand and nine,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: so she's the first former player to beat to beat
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Patty Gasso, especially one to beat her in the tournament championship.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: So just an incredible feat by Mississippi State. Happy for
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: them that they get to go to their first Women's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: College World Series. Like regardless, obviously like wish Elas was
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: in the same position, but that's just a cool, incredible
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: thing for Mississippi State and to beat the top dog
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: in the sport that has held that spot for a decade,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: over a decade, good for them. We can winners for
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: me in Mississippi State's softball.
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: It's wild to think that's their first time, right because
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: like they they've had their moments, that's yeah, well that's why.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's been multiple years the entire leagues made
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: the postseason.
• 26:59
  Speaker 12: Yeah, right, we can win it for me, just because
• 27:02
  Speaker 12: I found this kind of funny it actually happened. Thursday evening,
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: Northern Iowa announced their Hall of Fame class Kurt Warner,
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: and Kurt Warner gets.
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: In in the class of twenty twenty six. That's the
• 27:14
  Speaker 11: only one I knew ten years.
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: It took him ten years longer to get into the
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: Northern Iowa Hall of Fame than it did the NFL
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: Hall of Fame.
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: He's been in the NFL Hall of Fame for ten years.
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: So look, Northern Iowa, they got a pretty stringent process
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: for their Hall of Fame, apparently eight members in that class.
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: But I mean, it's just wow.
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: Like, obviously Warner won a Super Bowl, played for two
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: others in that twelve year career, and the fact that
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: it's a lot easier to get into the NFL Hall
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: of Fame than it is the UNI Hall of Fame.
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: Kind of funny there. But shout out Kurt Warner finally
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: in his Alma Maters Hall of Fame.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Than shut out Kurt Kirk.
• 27:53
