  Speaker 3: And I am very excited to be back with the

• 1:57
  Speaker 3: already heard this morning, we lost the goat Skip Bourban.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: He passed away last night. And somebody that means everything
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to LSU, not.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Just baseball LSU. That just covers it all.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: So many people, so many people that he impacted in
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: his eighty eight years here on earth. And I know
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Matt and I had a chance to work with him
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in a completely different way. He wasn't our coach, but
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: he was our athletic director, and we certainly enjoyed every
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: moment of that. He sat right in front of us,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: him and his wife on the planes we had to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: We're fortunate to have great conversations with him many times
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: on road trips. So sadly today we are, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: coming on air with the news that Skip Bourbman again
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: passed away at eighty eight.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and the I guess it was early, early in
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: the early in the morning, so the middle of the night.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: And yeah, it is a absolute obviously, I don't have
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: to say it to anybody. I don't have to tell
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: you about what Skip Merbin has meant to LSU athletics.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: An absolute legend. Somebody that didn't just when he came here,
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: didn't just build a great like baseball program.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: He kind of.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Helped change LSU athletics and the trajectory that this athletic
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: was programmed.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: This athletic program was going.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: And you know, for an entire generation of people here
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: in Louisiana change the way that you would watch your
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: LSU Tigers play sports, and not just baseball, in every
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: single sport. So guy that brought three hired it, of
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: course five national championships as a coach in baseball, but
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: also as an athletic director, hired three national championship coaches
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: and one coach that recruited us here. So we are
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: thankful for everything that he's done, you know, personally for
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: us in our trajectory of our football playing careers, in
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: our lives and our families and everything. So everything is
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: all tied together. We are all tied together as one
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: big l s U family. And yeah, just extremely sad news,
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: but also, man, what a what a joy it was
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: too to know him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: What a joy it was for all of.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Us as l s U fans too, that he was
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: such a huge part of l s U and l
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: s U athletics. And we can celebrate that, and we
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: can celebrate his life and what in his legacy and
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: what he has.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Meant, and we do. We celebrate that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: We love Skip and you obviously it's sad to the passing,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: and but man, what a what a legend.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: And we we owe.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: A lot obviously, and it's yeah, we can, I think
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: all of us we can celebrate and look back at
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: his time and look back at what he did, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: it's a legendary.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: It absolutely is. And you said it well because it
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: wasn't just baseball. It was shoot athletics when he took
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: over his ad and you know, making moves to bring
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: in national championship coaches here and to be bold about
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: what the program could be, to be bold and what
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: LSU meant. And Lsu didn't have a lot of heyday
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: in football, right and so he knew what it was
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: in baseball and.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: He wanted that for the football program.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: So as athletic director, he goes out and he makes
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: some incredible hires, changes the complete path of the football
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: program to try to match what the baseball program was
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and just all the things that the access that they
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: gave us to the best of the best, we're going
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: to have the best facilities, we're gonna have the best
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: of everything.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: And you know, that was Skip's vision.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: So again, we didn't get a chance to play for
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: him because we're not baseball players, but we did have
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: a chance to really get to know him, and yes,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Matt did kiss him on top of his head when
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: we found out we were going to make the national
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: championship on a plane ride back home from.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Like, why would you not?
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Why would you not?
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: It was right there in front of you. It is
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: so great opportunity. I seize it. You did, and so
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Alandra Tata obviously one.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I'm glad to be back with y'all here in the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: room before I get back on the road.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Missed everybody in.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: This room, and I appreciate y'all holding down the fort
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: to say the least like y'all did. But I know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: y'all you know obviously LSU baseball fans and elandra I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: think that might be your favorite LSU sports So I
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: know that you know you weren't here obviously when when
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Skip was coaching, but I know you've had a chance
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: to interact with him a bunch over the last couple
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: of years.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't really have much more to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: add than what y'all already said. He's a legend, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: he made LSU baseball what it is today, like it wouldn't.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: I don't think Jay Johnson.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Would be here if Skip didn't build it into what
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: it is. But other than that he's just like an
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: extremely good person outside of sports. So just losing a
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: giant in Baton Rouge and Louisiana and for the LSU
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: like entire history. So yeah, but other than that, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: don't It's obviously super sad, but I don't have much
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: more to add.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Other than losing a giant is a great way to
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: put it. Yeah, you are, and just think about just
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: like you said, who knows what the program is, but
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: the but the butterfly effect. Yeah, not even of the
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: skip Bertman nineteen eighty four, right he got here, that changed.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: It's been forty what forty two years.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Since then, so not even just forty LSU baseball, I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: think just college baseball in general.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he is the most important LSU figure of my lifetime.
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: Look at, yes, five national titles, never lost in a
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: championship game. I mean, we know his winning percentage seven
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: SEC championships. Great, But you know, when when I was
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: growing up, like I was born in ninety six, Skip
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: stop coaching in ninety one and two thousand and one,
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: so I was I was at the tail end of
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: Berman as a coach.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: But I remember when he took over his athletic director.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: You always hear Nick Saban say, Man, when I got
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: this job, I almost regretted it a little bit because
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: the facilities were so bad. After Saban was hired, they
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: needed to bring in a guy that could do that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: Skip Bourbman was the only guy that could make that happen.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: He hard Less Miles.
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: Look what Les Miles did for you guys his career,
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: and I mean Los Miles was here over a decade,
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: and I mean people, people loved it. Les Miles was
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: a beloved coach here. You know, for a number of years.
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: He was the athletic director. When John Brady took the
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: men's basketball team to the Final four, the last final
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: four this program's ever been to, Skip Bourbon was the
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: athletic director. Like whether it's a coach is an ad
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: all the all the big time names that have come
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: through l s U. Like even even now, like after
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: he's retired, you hear a name and you're like, wait,
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: Skip's gonna be there, like like the Skip Bourbon Like
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: even even now like this, it's just it's incredible, Like
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: you want to talk about a long life worth living
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: like that was Skip Burman.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: You know, and he's so known for his like stories too,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: like his his one liners and his stories and all
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: his foreign players tell him. I can tell you just
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: from from my personal conversations, Like I don't want to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: talk baseball with him because I loved baseball, and you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: he's a goat. And he would always bring it back
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: to him playing football. I think it was Miami Beach
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: High School. He's like, you know, well, let me tell
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: you about me playing a little football, you know, And
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: he would go into his stories of playing football. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I think he ended up coaching baseball at the same
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: high school that he that he played for.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: But like that was my favorite part.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Like he would tell me about him playing football in
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: high school, and he just had a way to tell
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: tell a story.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I just remember.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: So when I was I first got to LSU, I
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: remember doing the recruiting. I had met Skip during the
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: recruiting at you know, some recruiting event or something like that.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I didn't know him, spent a lot of time with
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: them in the recruiting process, so I didn't have I
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: hadn't put all the pieces together in my mind. I'm seventeen,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: eighteen years old. I hadn't put all the piece in,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: like the hierarchy of LSU athletics and the AD and
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: and all the and all the parts and pieces that
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: it went into it, and all the higher ups. But
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I remember just being a freshman, like walking the hall,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: the locker room, and I would see Skip and he
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: would stop me in the hall and talk to me
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: and say like he'd know my name. And I was
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: just like a little es bird, like a freshman that
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: was fourth fifth on the depth chart, red shirted, like
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: I didn't mean anything to LSU football at the time,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: and it was just like he would stop me and
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: talk to me and tell me, like ask me how
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: my parents were doing. And he was just that kind
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: of guy that was fully invested in when he was
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: athletic director, and that's how we knew him was the
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: athletic director before you know, after.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: His head coaching time.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: But like he was fully invested in all all the sports,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: all the players, and cared about the individuals and not
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: just the athletic program or the team as a whole.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: He cared about the actual people on the roster. And
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: so I remember that that's special to me because I
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: was I was a nobody and this legend, this giant
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: would stop and talk and know the history about me
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: and ask me questions, and it was just like it
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: was a it was a cool it's a cool memory.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and look throughout the day, I'm sure we'll continue
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: to bring it up.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: We'll continue to tell old stories.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: We are going to effort to try to maybe get
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: a player that played for Skip News Skip to kind
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: of come on and give us his memories of Skip Bourbman.

  Speaker 3: I got two more coming up here to finish it
• 28:53

• 29:03
  Speaker 3: playoff teams Chargers, Bills, Patriots, Texans, Steelers. You know a
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: lot of really good teams that we think are going
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: to be good again. And he guess is the ones
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: like damn, maybe just didn't hit?
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure. No, it's not a guess guarantee.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: What's that?
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Browns Brown?
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm surrised any I will say that the facility
• 29:27

  Speaker 4: Monkoan was great.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: He was electric on radio, like his first interview that
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: he's given to NFL radio. So like we were very
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: excited for that, and I think I kind of guilty
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the mentals.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Like get over here.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: You have yelled at me as a coach, I'm yelling
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: at you, now get over here.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: He was great.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Now we didn't really like, you know, we didn't ask
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: or quarterbacks they don't have one right now because you know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: they got a competition and we knew we weren't gonna
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: get that anyway and whatever.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: But it was like pulling teeth to get players like and.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: We got Drake May, Josh Allen, shared Golf, Justin Herbert,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: you name it, like we got them all head coach like.

  Speaker 3: Our guys are too big time in fairness, like for
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Wessenger and Harold Fannon, you couldn't get a Jared Verse.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: No, we're supposed to get Grant. We're supposed to get
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: a Grand Delp. Like ah blah blah blah blah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I know Grant, And if I call
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: him and ask him, did y'all ask him to do this,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: He's gonna tell me no, Like, just go get him.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: I've known him for a long time. I promise you
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Grant's gonna come out here if you go ask him.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: It's the only one everybody else. And again, like I
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: do appreciate getting Monk in because that was the best
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: part of it. He was He was really good. He
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: only said one curse word, which was shocking. But yeah,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: all these teams, man, they were great. The pr stats
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: did incredible job making sure yesterday, which we're going to
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: get into after this break.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I was at Saints Camp. Oh boy, they you know what,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: screw it, Let's go ahead and get into it right now.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Excited, Okay, carved up the Jags.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Really, I'm like a thirteen win team, And I don't
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: care who was at practice and what report you were reading.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: I'm just telling you.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I stayed for the whole practice, and I had my
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: junior reporter, Memphis Houster with me, and we both saw it.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: They diced them up the Saints defense. They couldn't block
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: the rush like Saints defense. The Jacks couldn't block the rush.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: That was awesome to see. Now, of course, we all
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: know the offensive guys are the superior siute of the football,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: So that's where I stayed most of the time. Tyler Shuck,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Chris olave zon vele play after play. The running backs
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: had really good runs. Ak had a couple of really
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: nice runs. Spencer Rattler had an incredible deep ball he
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: hit up like.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: He's gonna start the prey that team.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: So I was there going back to last year and
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: last year when we were there and I talked about
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: this and maybe maybe I'll get them to send it
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: to me if we can get time today to play
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: the Tyler shuck. But I was like, dude, when I
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: was here last year, I interviewed three quarterbacks when I
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: was there last year, it was Jake Hayner's day. To
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: start from where we were last year at going to
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: that training team to where we're at this year, it's
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: not even a distant cousin. Like, they looked so much better,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: and they look crisp, and they looked together and organized,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: and look you at a new coaching staff. They're trying
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: to learn each other. Last year it was a well
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: oiled machine. And again if it was against the Dolphins,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: because I was at the commander's camp and the Commanders.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Tore the Dolphins up. Okay, you're probably supposed to.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville won thirteen games and ran their whole team back.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Like that's the same team, right the Saints. You know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: that's the number one pass rush team in the NFL.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: And the Saints that they may have given up like
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: two sacks and like a twenty two play like kind
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: of passing period, which is pretty good.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: I think the nobody wanted to see a different team
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: come on the Pritese field more than the Saints offense.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: From all the reports that we have been getting that
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: the defense was kind of winning most of the days,
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: the offense was had had their moments, but the defense
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: was kind of dominating most of training camp for the Saints,
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: which is which is fairly normal, like you probably get
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: a couple like normally, I would say the offense wins
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: a few more days than what the Saints were doing.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: So we didn't really know. I know, Nick Underhill comes
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: on our show every Tuesday. It was I feel like
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: he started getting a little nervous, like even this past Tuesday,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: starting to get a little nervous that especially red zone,
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: especially red zone that they still weren't having.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: That was like a red zone might have been the
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: best period they had.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: So like he was saying they were so bad at
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: at finishing drives in the red zone last year.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: It's carried over to training camp.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: So it's and I asked, I was like, hey, is
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: this more of like the offense struggling or if they're struggling,
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: that means the defense is doing well or is it
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: the defense playing well? And he really couldn't put his
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: finger on it, couldn't, couldn't have a great tough camp.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: It's it's impossible, right, But the Jacksonville Jaguars come on
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: the practice field and nobody was probably happier than the
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Saints offense because they get to actually run plays that
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: they hadn't been running against the same defense every single day.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: So it's awesome to hear Saints fans that's that's it's
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: great news. And like the quarterbacks performing well, the passing
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: game looking good, like you said, I mean you just said,
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: you have a second year head coach now who's an
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: offensive minded guy, who's had success as an offensive coordinator
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: at every single stop he's had. And then you got
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: a a second year quarterback making that huge jump that
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: I the biggest jump that you can make in your
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: your career as a quarterback is you're one to two.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: So we'll see if he can. But all indications from
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: yesterday says that, man, they are, they're looking sharp, they're
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: looking good. And like you talked about training camp last year,
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: like last year was a quarterback competition between two young
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: guys trying.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Not to make mistakes.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: So and you know, I kind of I told this
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: to Nick when he was saying how different it looked
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: this year. I was like, well, last year you had
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: guys that were taking a lot of checkdowns because they
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: didn't want to make mistakes because if you make a mistake.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: It's like it's a competition. This year, they know where
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: they stand.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: This year. Tyler knows that he's a starter. This year,
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Spencer knows that he's the backup. Like, they can now
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: go and work their craft. They can test things, they
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: can try things, they can try, try a different type
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: of thrower, different type of read to see if it works,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: to push the limits of what they can do and
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: accomplish as an offense instead of playing safe like in
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: a competition. So I think you're seeing that. I think
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: you're seeing more And Nick was excited about that because
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: you're seeing more down the field throws. Last year was
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: like okay, third re check down like type situation, and
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: this year it's a lot more free flowing.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the move of the ball period they each
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: hit a big play. If I'm the New York Jets,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: like Spencer Raler would be my starting quarterback. Yeah, no
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: doubt about it. After watching him play yesterday, him and
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Shug both, I can't now. If I'm the Saints, I'm like,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not giving you him.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: Very be very careful without saying anything positive about Ray.
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: Why Matt keeps getting come for?
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: I keep getting on Twitter by whom just the people, masses,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: the people win the crowd. Well, both quarterbacks played really well.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: How dare you say that that's.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Just a DP ball over the top beat the defense.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: He completed like a nice like eighteen yard comeback, like
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: through it before the receiver broke to come back and
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: put it on the money.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: They both had a really big day.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: There's they only have one quarterback. Then I sold the clip.
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: It's like, you know, the ball gets thrown, a Lave
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: goes up over the dB, pulls it down runs. You're like,
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: that's a third stringer. None those Travis Hunter. Those Travis
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: Hunter that he caught the ball over.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: And Travis Hunter was in a blender yesterday. He got
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: he got kind of got picked on in the reddit.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because the Saints are. You know, Saints have always
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: been there the hammer, not the new Yeah.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Saints were.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I think they were coming in from like the twelve
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: yard line. It was around the twelve, and they had
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: play from the twelve where he hit a Lave for
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: a touchdown. Then they had to play from the eight
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: where he had bele Yeah.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: I did see that clip where Lave pretty much head
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: topped him like he he most Travis Hunter and news
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: flash for everybody love not a big guy. No, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: he went up though he went up. Not a great
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: look for Travis Hunter. Like you said, like he was
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: getting bullied yesterday, which is uh, I hate to see.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: It, Jake. Everybody saying Bryce Lance had a big day.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: He did. Yeah, he had. He had a win. I
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: think he had a win over Hunter too.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: He was super productive.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Colleague, the baron had had one trying to think. I
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: don't remember who the quarterback was.
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: I mean, think about how concerned Saints fans were with
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: the receiver position.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Did you guess that was my theme yesterday?
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: My theme yesterday was last year you had three quarterbacks
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: and you didn't know who was gonna start, and you
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: had no receivers.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: And I, like, I asked everybody.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: I asked Mickey Lomis when he came on, and I
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: was like, Hey, how's this feel compared to that?
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: He goes hold a lot better, a lot better.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when they love the three guys they were drafted at.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Receiver, Oh, I bet they're all gonna play.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: I mean Barrion Brown was the camp darling for the
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: first week, week and a half. Right, every single day,
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: I was like this is brown another day, another day,
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: stacking days on top of each other.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: If Tyson was.
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: It yesterday that Tyson left, Yes, but it was minor.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: And because I was there, he was like, man, he's
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: not Look, he is not a player that's going to
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: play seventeen games, right, I don't think he's just not
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: hen you know. And but I think that's why the
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Saints drafted two receivers behind him.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: He gonna play like they wanted to play seventeen games.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Well, but in fairness, not a lot of guys play
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: seventeen games.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: No, No, you can look at the like the snat leaders.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of fifteen, sixteen game guys. It's just
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: hard to do.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: It's a seventh That's why NFL players and the players
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: associated fought against seventeen games for so long.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: It's a long it's a long season, right, it's very long.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: You're hitting the biggest, the fastest, the baddest dudes in
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: the world every single week, like it's a long season.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: So seventeen games is it's a lot to ask of
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: anybody like that. You're not going to have some sort
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: of concussion in a hamstring, just something right, So.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: And That's why it's so good to have those younger
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: receivers too. And it's good to see Vele, you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: be the guy you look. You made a trade with
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: an asset to get him. You didn't just get him
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: for free. So it's good to see him going out there.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: It's just it looks completely.
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: Different to your point though, Like I don't want to
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: say it didn't matter because he's a great player, But
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: like last year, if you were lost to Lave, you'd
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: have been in deep trouble.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Tyson doesn't play.
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: You had a lot and Bryce Lance, you have barry
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: On Brown, you have Devon ve Like, you still got options.
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: You could lose a guy or two and still be okay.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: That was not the case.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Trey Palmer had a nice catch side about Mason Tipton.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: Nobody's talking about Mason.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: I think Mason's hurt. Nobody's talking at Bob's not here.
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Chase Young dominating.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: We had him. Oh was he a giant?
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Is he good on the mic?
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Though? He is?
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Like so he was so I didn't have him in
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: his career, but Pat did when he was in Washington.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: He goes man, that guy's matured and completely changed and Chase.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: To his credit, he talked about, so Tyry Wilson's there
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: because I was Tyrie Wilson a couple of years ago.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: He said, I was the high draft choice that you
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: know got traded, was on a one year deal.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Here. I had to go. I had to go prove myself.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: He had mentioned that he goes and it was because
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: the things that I did, like patted his chest, he
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: wasn't sores me.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: It's like it was like it was me, and so
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: I had to change some things in my life. He's like,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: and I did.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: He goes, and I think Tyree can sit here and
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: he sees a model of somebody that's kind of gone
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: through the same thing that he's going through right now.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: He said.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: He's a talented guy, he said, and you know he
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: can then he kind of hyped him up a little
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: bit of what he can be.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: But now Chase was really good.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw a really funny video the Saint social
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: media put out and the admin's asking all the players
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: like would you fight if somebody was bullying?
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: Would you fight them?
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: And they were like yeah, obviously like point them out,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: and then she's like, what if it was Chase Young
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: and they're.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: Like, ooh, yeah, I know.
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: I don't know about Chase Young.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks he looks like a video game character,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: like and you're in a fighting game and he's like
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: the final balls of me.
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: A little bit, not at all people, and you're just
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: that kind of guy, basically the same dude.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: On that note, we'll step away because oil boy, I'd
• 42:00
