• 1:11
  Speaker 3: More like, you know, we're not denying. Yeah, yeah, it's
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: not medical science. It's not medical science.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It's it's more sunscreen.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Sunscreen denier a little bit. That's me carbon dating more
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: than anything. Yeah, definitely question carbon dating. All this thing's
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: millions and millions of years old.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, hell, yes, dirt of course it is.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just they kind of push or said dirt together
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: like a couple, you know, one hundred years ago.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's appropriate. Yeah, So what's up, doc? Have you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: doing doing well? Doing well? How about y'all? Strong to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: quite strong.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I did wake up kind of sad that I told
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: him because I was dreaming that we were just beating
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Baneville fourteen to three. But then when I realized it
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: was a dream, I felt much better about it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a great reference. It's funny.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I'm a little bit old than y'all.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: So that movie came out my freshman year in college,
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: and I'm untile, and so they had the apartment.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Oh what about your recruitment to Florida State? Yeah, whole
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: theater goes matched down and sit there, and so where
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: was going scholarship the Florida State? So it was it
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: was a good memories for sure, all right.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Uh, LSU coming off of a bye week, so before
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: we get into some of the injuries across the country, Uh,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: a little vibe check maybe across on the Ponderosa.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: It's been good, you know, the the energy going back
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: to last week. You know, obviously a lot of a
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: lot of stuff going on. We've had a lot of changes,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: a lot of movements, but I think the guys are
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: embracing it. Uh, definitely a lot of energy around the facility.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes change is good.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: It can it can kind of bring in some needed momentum,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: some needed kind of shifting. And at least that's how
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: it feels right now. You know, we'll we'll see Saturday,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: but at least the vibes are very good.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: That's kind of like why you get the air quote
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: interim bump, if you will, because like anytime there's some change,
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: especially when things are going poorly, you get hope, right,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: you get a little bit of hope, a little bit
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: of extra energy, and it doesn't like guarantee that you're
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: gonna play great or guarantee that you're gonna But there's
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: an interim bump for a reason because like there's not
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: there's not not less talent in the building, right. You
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: see in the NFL too, there's not less talent on
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: a team. It's just like guys get new hope, they believe,
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: they get some more energy and just and I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: from all the reports including you like have said it,
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: the people that have been over there last week, this week,
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: the prices have been great, the energy has been awesome.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: So fired up for this team, fired up for those
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: young men.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's still a great roster.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: You know, we've talked about the roster going back to
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: you know, preseason, and this is a great roster.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You know. It's it's it's a hard league.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: We're gonna lose some games probably, but let's just kind
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: of see see what we can do for on Saturday.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: All right, Uh, let's you know, unfortunately, go ahead and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: get to the injury for guy JD. Five elbows are
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: not supposed to go that way in the other direction.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: When you see those like that, it's just terrible. And
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: we talked about with the camp scattered, but it's like
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I don't need to see that replay. I saw it
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: live saw at once. That's that's good enough for me.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Same thing with Jayden and James was a little bit
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: harder to see live, and we were talking about it
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: almost felt like it was going to be a leg injury,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: just because you could tell he was in some pain.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You weren't really sure, but man, when you watch, unfortunately
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: a replay found its way in front of me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: That was very difficult to watch.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And so what exactly you know do you think happened
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and how long is that rehab?
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's it's an elbow dislocation, and those
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: are those are outside of the shoulder. As far as
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: big joints, that the second most common joint that gets dislocated,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: you know, Yeah, so we see a fair number of them.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: If we want to look at bright side. At least
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: it was his left arm, right, it's if this is
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: a quarterback with their throwing arm, that could be a
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: potential career ender or at the very least a devastating injury,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: something you're gonna have to really spend a lot of time.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: So we only the positives. It was his non non
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: dominant side, so that's a positive.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: You know, typically that elbow when it dislocates, it goes backwards,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: it dislocates post.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Here we kind of fall in that outstretched hand kind
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of like you see.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: And and you know they're there are injuries that, just
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: like any other dislocation, the most important question then becomes
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: what structures were injured, and right now you not really
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: sure how far the injury went. There are ligaments that
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: hold your joint in place. You have your capsule, you
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: have a lot of structures around it. And for a
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: joint to dislocate, you're probably gonna tear something. I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: it's just because he's gonna happen because you know, if
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: you think about it's fewing something the elbow, Yes, yeah,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: and so something probably tore, and most of the times
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: you're at least gonna end up what's called an LCL
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: the lateral ligament, the ligand on the outside of the
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: elbow pretty much always tears. Yeah, you know, it's not
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: as important ass of a stabilizer as some of the others,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: still important and and and so you're gonna have to
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: kind of see how he does. You know they're gonna
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: get an MRI, and you know it's it's a discussion.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: I've had a lot of times when a partner is
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: doctor Field, who he loves to talk about the m
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: RAY and he's one of our elbow gurus. He's fantastic,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: but you know that first MRI is always a horrible
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: and he's like, you know, you really can't see what's
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: going on until the swelling has gone down, the bleeding
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: has gone down, because you get at the initial MRY
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: and that it's gonna look like a bomb went off
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: in that elbow. And then sometimes as the swelling goes down,
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: you're like, Okay, it's not so bad, right, so so
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: we're gonna have to kind of wait and see and
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: and it's gonna be something that if it's unstable, they
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: may have to repair it and fix it. But if
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: it's something that he was pretty good, you can put
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: him in a brace and see him back out there
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: in a reasonable timeline, maybe even a few weeks.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, Khalil magg did this for the Chargers.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: He did the same thing edge rusher, and he missed
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: six weeks. Maybe it's back playing right now and now
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: he's got the heavy cast home. But that's an edge
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: rusher is not a quarterback, even with it being his
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: off arm, probably gonna spend a little bit time, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: more time than six weeks, just because you know you're
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: taking heads and you're falling to the ground, and.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. He's your franchise guy, He's the future
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of your franchise.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Daniels there. I mean, I don't think they're gonna be
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: seasons going their way. You put him, you put some
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: bubble wrap around him. Right now, I think that's this
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: is a third injury, third different injury of the season.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's been getting beat up.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: It's not been a good year for our guys in
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: the league, at least art Heisman Trophy winners.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: So, like so when something like that happens and the
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: elbow just completely bends the wrong way, and like if that,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: if that happens to a knee, right, that's that. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: think that's the comparable joint here from upper body lower body, Like,
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: if that happens to the knee, I mean we're talking ACM,
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: like all the all the ls that people know of
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: and hear of. But this doesn't happen to the elbow
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: a lot because the elbow it's a lot harder to
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: bend that way. You have to really hit it at
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: it right, the right amount of force, the right angle,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Like a lot of things have to go wrong, so
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: you talked about the outside ligament. But like you hear
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: a lot with throwers and elbows, a big elbow injury
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: a lot is like the nerve. Like so the oul
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: the nerve there is that like, is that a threat
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: to be?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: What can happen to that? Can it be severed? Can
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it be torn? Can?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: What can happen to a nerve rather than a ligament?
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: So most of the times the nerve won't tear, but
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: it can get stretched and pulled, and in which case
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: you can get an injury to that nerve. Fortunately it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: most elbow dislocations. We don't get that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: But it is a risk.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: And you know, if you have a nerve injury, you're
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: gonna have some numbness, maybe even weakness going down in
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: the hand, and that could be a big deal. You know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: the onner nerve is the one that's on the inside
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: and it is the one that's gonna be injured. It
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: goes to you down to your your fourth and fifth fingers,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: so the ring finger and little finger, and again if
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: you have a guy that's trying to hold a ball,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: that's trying to do those things, and those those those
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: those fingers aren't really able to sense it or grip it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: That could be a problem. So you know, again that
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: is something you have to watch for. Like I said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: fortunately it's not super calm with the elbow, but it
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: does happen.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: The other common injury sees the MCL the metal cloutteral ligament.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: That's the Tommy John injury. Yes, you know, brock Perty
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: had that. U what's his face? The guy from Georgia's
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: now Miami. I'm drawing a blank. That's the injury he had. Yeah,
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: that's the injury he had. So so those are injuries that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Totally like yeah, so, but you're kind of saying that
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: with an elbow injury that we might really not know
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: the significance of it for a couple of weeks. I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: assuming an injury like that, there's gonna be some swelling
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: that takes place and that's not gonna go anywhere for
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: a little while.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, one percent. Like I said, they're gonna do
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: everything they can. They're gonna get the image and make
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: sure nothing broke. You're worry about fractures as well. If
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: the bony structures are good, you're gonna kind of watch it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: You're gonna let it, kind of let the swell and
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: go down. You're gonna reevaluate it, probably reimage it, get
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: a little better idea, and then you kind of move forward.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I feel like my shoulder went out of place, like
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: not all the time, but all the time, and it
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: was just like, hey, put it back in and get
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: back out there. How can you do that with a
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: shoulder and not elbow, knee, ankle?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You see it?
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Well, the shoulder sometimes when it becomes loosened, it becomes unstable,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: and you know you'll sublux it or even dislocate it,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: and you know every time that happens, you do run
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: the risk of further injury. So that's one of the
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: downside has had obviously. But you know, look, I had
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: the exact same injury my right shoulder. I didn't fix
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: it until it was done playing ball, probably paying the
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: price for it now, but uh.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: It would pop out about every every few games at
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: the best case scenario. And you know, yeah, shoulder, though,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: it is a little looser, so once you loosen it up,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: each dislocation, while significant, maybe a little less. Not not
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: condoning said behavior, not recommending that for our people out.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: There, but uh, was the norm. Get it back in. Yeah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you just gotta make that decisions. Yeah, we we watched
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: those a little bit. We realize the more times you dislocate,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the more damage. But you know, I would.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Every time your shoulder goes somewhere it's not supposed to,
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: damage is a little bit more.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Gosh.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: We had a big game in two thousand and five.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I think it was Auburn at home. Yeah, Auburn at
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: home and just came out.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: But it was like one of those games where the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: fullback was in the game plan a lot and I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: had I was still playing fullback, had.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Moved to tail back in, and I'm like, put this
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: thing back in. We got to get out there.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Every time that I hit one of the linebackers, I
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: could fill at the bottom of my feet one of
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: those just tingles.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But you know what, we got back out there. Do
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: what you gotta go. Yeah, okay, all right, that makes sense.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I always wondered because like you hear shoulders going out
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: more than you hear almost anything going out, and get
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: them back in and then get back out. Well, not
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: for a quarterback, probably for a meat had fullback. Same
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: thing with the shoulders, though, I would. I would say,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: or I would ask you, are stingers kind of in
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: that same vein Like, once you start getting stingers, they
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: they're more likely to keep happening. And because I have
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: a couple of friends that played fullback in the NFL
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: and they're like, I had to retire because I was
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: getting like three stingers a day at practice.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they can be.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: More common once you have this stinger, and then it
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: goes down to the you know, the physiology of why
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: you're getting them, is it is it something in the
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: actual neck, which it's always a neck injury.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It's a little burner, no deal.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: But if you have a spinal problem, then that's a
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: bigger concern. If there's something there, you know, that's causing
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: this repetitively. Sometimes there can be structural auttermalities in your
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: in your vertebrae that can cause these where you get
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: that nerve gets pinched, So that's a different injury. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: even if it's just a stretch injury that that can
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: once you do it, you're a little more prone to it,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: especially in the short term after potentially what.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Makes that burn.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Feel like a stinger and a burner are different for me,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Like it was a different feeling.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: So it's a nerve injury. Nerve injuries we often associate
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: with that burning sensation. Yeah, you have the nerves that
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: come out of your neck just call the brachial plexus
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: here in the shoulder, and usually it's this kind of
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: your your your head gets stretched to the side kind of.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: In a lateral movement.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: That's usually when that the most common presentation, and that
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: nerves get stretched and then wherever that nerve goes, that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: why you feel it go down the arm into the
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: hands and tingling the numb.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: This.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You know, we worry about it when guys are weak.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: So if you'll see us doing an assessment after a burner,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: if a guy's weak, if his armed week, that for
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: me as a red flag. So those the injuries were
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: gonna probably hold you out. If you had a stinger
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: burner and it goes away, we're gonna let you go.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: I watched NFL games like and I like watch in
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: between plays, especially like after big hits, big collisions, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: you see like a safety coming to clean up after
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: like throwing a shoulder in there, and like you see
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: him get.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Up and they're kind of like they're kind of doing this.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: And shaking it out and they got their heads tilted
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: like towards their shoulder a little bit, and you can
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: see him just like trying to shake it off before
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: they get back on the head.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, it's a stinger. Huh, Yeah, that's exactly
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: what a stinger is. You'll be okay, stop being a baby.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: It just burns there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: It burns like there's a thousand degree played on my neck.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: But fine, it's gonna be okay. Exactly what it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Feels like, all right, Last one, Doc, want to ask you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: We just had the NFL trade deadline yesterday. So when
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: somebody gets traded like this, obviously like you've got some
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: wear and tear because you're in the middle of the season.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: What what like, what are those physicals like compared to
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: maybe preseason physic.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe you know, are the same and same physical like
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: what's the difference? It's gonna be similar. You're gonna focus
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: on what you know.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: You know at the NFL the rules with with their
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: injury you have to disclose everything. So and that's a
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: big part of you know, with with their injury updates
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: and all that, you have to have that information. Yea,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: so you kind of know what the injuries are at
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: least you should. Now you're still gonna hopefully do your
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: due diligence. You're still gonna make sure that they're gon't
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: anything missed or whatever. But if you so, if you
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: had a guy and you know had a toe injury,
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: terf toe injury, you're gonna're gonna evaluate that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: You're gonna say, is this healed? Because most of these.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Trades are gonna have some kind of a clause. You know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: you have to pass the physical, you have to come
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: in and pass it or else we can kind of
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: avoid those those trades. So the guy is gonna come
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: in and you're gonna you're gonna definitely do a full physical,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: but obvious you're gonna focus on those things you know
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: he has. You're gonna focus on the injuries that have
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: been on the injury reports. You're gonna focus on what
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: the other documentation has. Usually you're gonna get the records
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: from the other team's medical staff. That is something that
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: is traditionally shared, so you know it's not You probably
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: have a pretty good idea, but obviously want to put
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: hands on yourself to make sure, Hey, this thing really
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: is healed, this thing really is stable.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Whatever that situation might be.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: How much of the decision, the final decision to make
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: a trade or to finalize it, it lies in the
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: hands of the doctor that gets the get the hands
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: on the athlete right there and do that physical. I mean,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: I hear the stories and of you know that there's
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: a pain type injury or somebody coming, you know, out
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: of an injury. They'll take a bunch of anton flams
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: or painka because they want to be traded and they
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: want to pass the physical, so like they're juicing up
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: a little bit.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's it's and I think you're going
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: to find that it's going to be different with each organization.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: I think some some of them are going to listen to
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: their medical staff more than others. Some of them are
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: going to say, hey, i've seen this guy play, he's
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: a baller, or hey we really need this guy. You know,
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: whatever the situation might be, everything else, you know, forget it.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: But I think with each organization you will see there
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: have definitely been, you know, some classic situations. I mean,
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: probably the one we've all talked about the most is
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: with Breeze not getting cleared in Miami ends up here
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: in the Saints, you know, and that was a big deal,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: and that was that goes back to the medical staff,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: their opinions on what they thought he'd be able to
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: do moving forward. And and so I think, like I said,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: you'll see different organizations that are gonna put very very
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: heavy reliance on their medical staff and others that you know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: you have a GM that or coach is gonna say, hey,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: we're gonna go, We're gonna go with this guys. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: don't care what y'all said, you know, it was it
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: was interesting. I had the benefit of going to Combine
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: one year and just seeing how that works. And it
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: is crazy on the medical side because you know, we're
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: you all been through you see that the physical, but
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: then hearing the conversations in the room and it's and
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: it's it's the same type of thing these medical staffs
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: and we may not all agree.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I was there.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: We were working with the Saints and we're talking about
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: these guys and it's like, hey, we want you to
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: give them a grade, and then we want you to
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: give them a number. So the grade would be like
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: a which nobody had an except for a punter. That
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: means you've never had an injury, so maybe a punter,
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: somebody had an A. Most guys were b's and c's,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: but even with the c's then they wanted you to
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: give me a number. So if you were a C five,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: that means you had some medical stuff coming in. With
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: that medical stuff, I think you make five years. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: so we had to make our best guess. I mean,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: these are these are your guestimates. And you know we
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: might give you a C five, and you know that
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: the packers might have given you a C eight, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: you know the organizers might give you a B. You know,
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: and it's it's so it's not all read upon. But
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: we're even though we're all there together doing these exams
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: and and and for me to see that and get
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: a part of that, and you'd have to and you hear.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: How much stock is put into it like that one number.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Like the decisions that I've been made on a guy's
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: future based on that one number.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: That yeah, and.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Probably well, look, we had a A that same year.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: We had an offensive lineman he was going through and
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: he had some bad knees.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: And I heard the guy's talk.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Broke my heart because a good kid hearing the discussions
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: going on about him, and I was just like, man,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: so and then the kid didn't get drafted, kid that
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: probably was a draftable talent. And and and to be fair,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I had a lot of medical stuff and and so
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I understood the discussion. But to be a guy that
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: knew this kid, that cared about this kid, you know,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: being there from the college side, it was it was
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: it was heartbreaking, you know. And so without a doubt,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: every year there are guys whose careers are probably oh yeah,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: yeah at the combine.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: And if we could tell your first sam from the
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: combine experience, Like I was coming off of ac joint
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: spring Day Sea joint like a month month and a
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: half before, and it felt great going into the combine.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: But by the time the thirty second doctor had pulled
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: and tugged and whatever on my shoulder, I was like,
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: it hurts now, anything would hurt.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Now get evaluated by everybody, and they're they're pulling it,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: they're putting it. Yeah. I had this doctor name heavy Hands,
• 17:11

  Speaker 2: I'll played with an hour and a half after. Yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I go until noon, until noon till then.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I left there and I came back at
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: like eleven fifty and he was still right in that
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: same seat.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: So I feel good about it. He was proud. He
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: was pretty good by the time I got back. Yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I was. I had the tools loaded up. But the
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: problem is is.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: I still got to get clips downloaded on there to
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: do it. So we're not ready to go live yet.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: No, hopefully wait which clips are you trying to download?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I don't got the part got that far yet. We're
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: not ready to go live.
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: No.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I thought you said we're doing film today. Oh we can,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: but just not with a telephone. It's kind of disappointing. Well, sorry,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I had I had meetings to go to. Some people
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: don't take the bye week as serious as they should,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: and starting to show a little.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Was just talking about how long I worked on the telestrade.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: It took a while start getting used to them. Buttons.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta familiarize yourself with it. Should send the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: video of the film that you were breaking down yesterday
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: so he could play it. Took a video of that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know that that's alady. No, I don't know
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that that's ready. I don't think Yeah, yeah, left tackle
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: here there. We don't have to play it anyway, because
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I thought I did. Yeah, that's right on, all right,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: it's okay, we'll get that. We'll get done.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: We are going to watch some Alabama tape if I'm
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: not mistaken, right, didn't you say that yeah mm hmm
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: our three all right, just making sure I didn't know
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: how much advance notice I had to give you.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll watch a little bit.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Like so, I've been watching the Bama Tennessee film quite
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: a bit because I would say the Tennessee offense from
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: a schematic standpoint, from a personnel standpoint, pretty similar to
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: what ls She tries to do. They do a lot
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: of eleven personnel. They do, oh my god, an noxious
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: amount of like wide receiver screens. So I wanted to
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: see how they defended that, you know, spoiler alert. I
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: think Tennessee game two yards one time, those their biggest
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: game on a wide receiver screen.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: But I wanted to that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: That's how I wanted to watch their defense. And I
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: watched this Alabama team. I watched this Alabama defense and
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: just nothing, like there's nothing, there's not one thing to
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: put your like hold your hat on and say like
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: that is that's scary right there? Like they're really good
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: at that. They're they're a sound defense. They got some
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: pillars in the inside of the defensive linemen on the
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: in the running game that are just big, strong boys
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: and they can sit there and they can hold point
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: and it's tough to move them.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: That's a that. But they're not making a bunch of tackles.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: They do a really good job.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: They're three techniques, they're one techniques is doing a good
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: job of just clogging up and making two people block
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: them in the running game.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: They do that well.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Number forty two is there pass rusher. What's his name
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: something Pierre and then Pierre something like that. But he's
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: got four sacks. He's got four sacks. Like he's their
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: best pass rusher. He's not overly athletic. He's got a
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: high motor. He's got a good swim move, a rip
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: and dip move if you will.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: And he's like I said, he's got a high motor,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: but he's not a game changer in the fact, like
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: your number one premier pass rusher traditionally is. I think
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: he's tied in the sixteenth in the SEC with sacks.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: He's got four. I think he had two of them
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: against Tennessee. So there's not just one thing that you're like,
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: oh man, this is a scary defense there. We're gonna
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: have tough time putting up points. Their secondary sound really good.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: They got a they got a one of their safeties
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: that plays down low. He's got a lot of tackles
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: on the year. He does a good job in the
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: running game, but there's just not like one thing, so
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: like it's not a fearful defense when you're going into
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: it in game plan.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: And so again it's Alabama playing sound. They're very well coached.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: They're not going to make any glaring mistakes and you know,
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: leave too many people just like sitting wide open. Do
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: a lot of his own coverage though they're not playing
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: a ton of man. They'll bring zero on you a
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: little bit, which is cover zero, which is they bring
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: blitz everybody man a man coverage, no help over there.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: They'll do that against Selshue because people have done it
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: against ael A Shoe and we haven't had answers for it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: And when we have had answers, it just wasn't schematically
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: very sound. And playing a young running back as well,
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: you're gonna blitz them. It's just gonna happen. Yeah, you
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: put the young running back in because he's your best runner,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: he's got the best vision, he's of the most success.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: But that also comes with they're gonna challenge him with
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: different looks and they should and that's the way, and
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: he's had a bye week to work on that. So, yeah,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: you're gonna get a lot of variants on the defensive
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: side of the ball with Alabama.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: But as long as we don't run, as long as
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: we don't.
• 24:55

  Speaker 3: the Raisin Kane Studio. Very excited for our next guest,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: it is our guy, the interim head coach for the
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: LSU Fighting Tigers. Coach Frank Wilson joins us. Now, coach,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: what's going on? How are you doing this morning?
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: I'm doing well? How you doing, Matt?
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: How you doing?
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Jacob doing fantastic?
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Glad to have you on, Excited to have you on,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Excited about the opportunity for LSU this weekend and Tuscaloosa.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: So coach just kind of want.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: To, you know, go back and look at the time
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: when you find out you're going to be the interim
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: head coach for the LSU Tigers, just because coach, I've
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: known you for a long time.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I know what this place means to you, I know
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: what this state means to you.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: So when you found out that you were going to
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: be in charge of this football program moving forward for
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: the rest of the season, what was that moment.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Like for you?
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: It was gratifying. My immediate thought was, Okay, what's the
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: first thing we need to do to hold this team together.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: What's the first thing we need to do to give
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: us stability and understanding that we're going to be all right?
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: And so my immediate concern turned to our try student athletes,
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: to our kids in preparation to give them mindset, to
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: give them understanding and answers because they were confused and
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: they were surprised, and so we're an emotional being and
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: all those array of feelings happen, and so I just
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: wanted to serve our student athletes and then also to
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: meet with our staff and support staff because it affects
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: them as well. To have conversation with those guys, this
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: is where we're at, this is what we're trying to accomplish,
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: and here's what we can control, and there's some things
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: we can't control, you know. And so to have those
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: conversations was the most most important thing for me. And
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: you would think it would be a time of jubilation,
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: but didn't have time for it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: We'll coach, and that's where I was going to go next. Like,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: what has maybe been the main focus this week? Is
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: it resetting your mindset? Is it scheme or is it
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: just reminding the guys what else you football is supposed
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: to look like?
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and so it is mean, tough and nasty. Yep,
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: let's get back to DNA. Let's let's let's let's remember
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: who we are. Let's not forget who we are.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: And not that those things has not been preached and
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: said to them, because they have. But here's how I
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: believe that looks for us. All Right, So we're not
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: gonna just talk it, We're gonna walk it. And and
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: here's the style of play, here's the methodology of it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Uh to to earn that, to get that, so that
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: we we go into this game with a mindset knowing
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: that the most physical football team is going to win
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: this football game.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Coach the.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: When something like this happens, when when there's a change
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: mid season, I think it's easy to forget in this
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: day and age in college football, with you know, contracts
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: the way they are, with with nil the way it is,
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: it's easy to get kind of lost in the whole
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: business side of things that there's a there's a human
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: aspect to all of this, from support staff to coaches
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: that you you single out individually the players now in
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: this world, like it's hard to avoid the outside noise
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: right when, especially when things are going poorly, and the
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: message is easy to say, like we got to control,
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: we control, we got to be together, But how do
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: you put that into practice of telling the kids, telling
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: the players like, don't look at what everybody else is saying,
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: don't look at that outside noise, and just focus on
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: what we're doing no matter because it's hard to avoid
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: the social media, is the interviews, all that stuff.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: How do you put that into practice each and every day.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's there's a way that you would
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: articulate that, and then there's a way that you live it. Right,
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: and so from the time we get together at two o'clock,
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: let's let's take care of the business at hand. This
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: is our emphasis today, this is our dress.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Of the day.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: This is not just what we're doing, this is why
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: we're doing it. And so it's our responsibility to equip
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: you with not just what we're doing, but the why
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: and how we're going to do it. And I think
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: the more information and the more that we're able to
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: act it out, to model it, to show it, the
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: greater buying it is. For the student athletes. You know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: you can say be tough, or you can say don't
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: worry about it. Well, you're human, right, and in the
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: humanistic world, you're going to have these feelings. That's okay,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: that's not abnormal. Here's ways that you can help cope
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: with that. Here's a piece that when you have player
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: interview at the end, at the end of practice, here's
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: our unified voice and our message to our loyal fans
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: and where we're at now. You put that in your words,
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: but we have one voice in how we're going to
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: go about conducting our business. It's going to start here
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: and it's going to matriculate all the way down from
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: the training room to the weight room, to sports medicine
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: to the cafeteria. This is us, this is who we are.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: This is all in and it's our theme, and we're
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: all in and we're going to live it. We're gonna
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: act it, and we're going to show our players by
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: being demonstrative and the way that we live and do
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: our business.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Catching up with LSU interm coach Frank Wilson here on
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: OTB Coach, You've always been known as one of the
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: best recruiters in the country. How important is it right
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: now to keep that Louisiana wall strong. I'm sure there's questions,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: but this is a class that has a lot of talent.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: It's got five stars, it's got guys from Louisiana already
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: committed to LSU. What has it been like on the
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: recruiting from trying to make sure that wall stay strong.
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: You know, every situation is unique, you know. So some
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: of them are conversations with the student athlete, some of
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: them are conversations with the high school coach. Some in
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: the world that we live in as a conversation with
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: their agents, you know, or their grandparent or whatever it
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: may be. Understanding identifying who are those people that are
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: most impactful, influential to the student athlete, giving them information.
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: Yet again, no different than our current team, our current staff,
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: that we can't and won't allow somebody to speak on
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: our behalf that in the midst of all that's going on,
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: that they can't have a void in communication because then
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: it creates chaos, and so we have to handle the
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: communication piece. We have to fill in and then say
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: to them, you have a direct line, all right, so
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: you don't have to wonder. They don't have to speak
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: for us. You have a direct line to the source.
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: So all your questions are your concerns lim here, bring
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: them here so that we can give you comfort and
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: equip you also with a knowledge base. Up now, I
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: understand what happening with my school. No that's not true.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: I talked to coach. Here's what he said. And as
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: we we moved through this, this what we call thirty
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: count down the signing Day, thirty days away. Just our approach,
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: we've been doing it, tightening it. Tonight is our big
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: power hour where we will continue to do so. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: there's a game plan that involves everybody from our n
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: I LSU to our to our sports medicine department, our
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: training department, admissions and applications. As we move forward to
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: these kids who are mid year graduates, what does that
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: look like? And so we're going about business and we're
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: positioning ourselves what every viable part, every branch that's in
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: this process of transition of onboarding so that they have
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: answers and there's no void there And nope, I did that. Nope,
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: but yeah, I got my flu shot. I talked to
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: my counselor, we got the transcript. Ordered. Oh no, Coach
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: sent me the link. So I'm gonna make applications for
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: school today and on and on and on and so
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: we're very conscientious, very strategic in our approach and getting
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: them to the finish line, which is National Signing Day.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: Could you mentioned the words earlier, mean, tough, and nasty.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Those are three words that I think every LSU fan listening. Man,
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: it gives you a little chillbumps, makes the hair on
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: the back of your next sand up, and unfortunately sometimes
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: it feels a little nostalgic.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: When we think about those words with LSU football.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: Well, this week we heard the reports Blake Baker talking
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: to you about, Hey, let's pract this little mean, tough
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: and nasty.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: You got you guys. You guys would have loved practice. Yes,
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: I know, come out listen, man, it was it was.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: It was one Uh you would have been proud of.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: Your your your tigers fought like tigers.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: They competed, Uh with the physicality. Uh, that that we've
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: been built upon. So we had a great day of practice.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: They sorry about that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: That's exactly where I was going, Coach. I wanted to
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: know about practice. I wanted to see how those kids compete.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, we're talking about mid season, coach, we're talking
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: about resetting the standard with mean, tough, and nasty. And
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: I love hearing those words from me, and I love
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: hearing the practice report.
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so they they embraced it. Uh, certainly you know,
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: it was controlled. We didn't take people to the ground,
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: but in the trenches, in that box and in spaces,
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: there's opportunity to be sincere with contact, as we say,
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: kissing with your face mask, call your hips, you fit
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: them and let him run. And so it was thud,
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: but it was it was one that our kids enjoyed,
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: had fun in doing so. And you know what we
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: can do that we can block, that we can run,
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: that we can fit that at warp speed. And so
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: we challenged our team to do so and they responded
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: in a very positive.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: Manner because we saw media had some availability yesterday and
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: we saw some pictures and some looks at the all
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: in drum in the team meter and tell us a.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Little bit about that, you know.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: So, so here's the buy in for us. There's one
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: year that there's an offense, there's a defense, and then
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: there's a combination of offense and defense that comprise and
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: make up our special teams with our specialists. But the game,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: the game doesn't start until the official put that ball
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: in play. When that ball goes in play, it breathes
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: life into the game. And so we call it the heartbeat,
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: the heartbeat of our foot. At the end of the game,
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: when the official takes that ball and raises in the air,
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: the time have expired. It's deceased. There's no more football
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: to be played. And so when we on certain days,
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: when we start our special teams, it starts with the heartbeat,
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: and it's it's not something I came up with. It's
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: something that Pete Carroll came up with many years ago,
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: and I learned from d oseron and have carried it
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: with me for years, and so I just think it's
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: it's resounding, it's it's very direct for our players, for
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: our team to understand that when you go out there
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: for the first snap, you set the tone. It's the
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: heartbeat of what we do. And so we just gave
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: it life. We wanted to breed life into our team,
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: into our special teams with the heartbeat, with the drum
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: being symbolic of that of a heart palpitating, and so
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: it's a boom boom boom, boom, boom boom, and then
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: as it gets faster and faster, it's almost at a
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: cardiac rate to allow us to explode on the kickoff
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: or kickoff return.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I love that, love that answer all right.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Last one coach before we get you out here, and
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: we certainly do appreciate your time.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: When the Tiger fans watch your team.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Take the field this weekend, what do you want them
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: to see and what do you want them to feel.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: About L s U Football?
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I like them. I think what they will see
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: is a team that's willing to fight, a team that's
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: willing to strain, a team that has no quit in them,
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: that's going to do everything in their power to position
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: themselves to be victorious. We're going, We're going to fight
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: this team. We're going We're going to pick a fight
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: and step the tones from the onset of the game.
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: I think I like our fans at the end of
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: the game to be proud and say, Okay, all right,
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: here we go. That's we've that's what we're you stuff,
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: that's our Tigers uh InStyle of play. I don't know
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: what the outcome will be. Here's what I can tell you, though,
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: We're going to pick a fight, all right. We're going
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: uh to talk with our helmets and our shoulder pads
