Speaker 1: ESPN our friend Mike Detilier WWL Radio TV New Orleans
0:18
Speaker 1: Afternoon Drive every day, plus he does LSU and Saints Football.
0:22
Speaker 1: He joins us on the Farm Bureau Insurance guest line,
0:26
Speaker 1: Mike D you told us a couple of months ago
0:30
Speaker 1: that Sam Levitt was AOK and gonna be fine, and
0:34
Speaker 1: he is. And of course Kippen has recently said again
0:37
Speaker 1: that he has been cleared. Uh, but with him not
0:40
Speaker 1: being able to go through although he's got a ton
0:42
Speaker 1: of PT playing time under his belt. I mean I
0:45
Speaker 1: just saw him play in Start Well last year. Although
0:49
Speaker 1: he's got a ton of playing time and games under
0:52
Speaker 1: his belt. Uh, but he did miss the spring. Do
0:57
Speaker 1: you think he and Lane will be able to They'll
0:59
Speaker 1: have about party practices before week one. Do you think
1:03
Speaker 1: that'll be enough time for them to get on the
1:04
Speaker 1: same page and get rolling might be?
1:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really do. I do think it's more or
1:12
Speaker 2: less for me. The timing with receivers that he really
1:17
Speaker 2: hasn't thrown a lot too. One thing with Sam. You know,
1:22
Speaker 2: he works out on his own, he gets receivers to
1:25
Speaker 2: work with him, and so he's become the leader in
1:28
Speaker 2: that way. But I think the timing part is always
1:32
Speaker 2: something when you don't have the spring to have worked
1:37
Speaker 2: with him, that's in question. Him learning Kiffin's system. I
1:43
Speaker 2: think he can pick that up pretty quickly. You think
1:47
Speaker 2: about Trinidad Chamblis last year. He came in late in
1:51
Speaker 2: the process. You know, he quickly picked it up. So
1:56
Speaker 2: I think the system part won't be the issue. I
2:01
Speaker 2: think it'll be early on getting the timing down with
2:07
Speaker 2: his receivers and tight ends more than anything. And he's
2:12
Speaker 2: got one of the most lethal weapons in college football
2:17
Speaker 2: at tight end and treid As Green, So I think
2:21
Speaker 2: that that's gonna work out really well for LSU. Question
2:26
Speaker 2: marks for me aren't on offense for Lshoe. They're much
2:31
Speaker 2: more so on defense.
2:35
Speaker 1: Okay, Mike Nttillier WWL Radio for our listeners, Kivin did
2:40
Speaker 1: retain Baker and the defensive staff, which is a good thing.
2:44
Speaker 1: But Mike has some question marks on the defensive side
2:48
Speaker 1: of the ball for LSU. Let's go over those again. Mike,
2:52
Speaker 1: what are those question marks?
2:56
Speaker 2: It's along the defensive line more than anything else. She's
3:00
Speaker 2: gonna be playing a lot of young guys. They hit
3:03
Speaker 2: big in the recruiting cycle on four key freshman players.
3:10
Speaker 2: But okay, that's a difference between playing high school football
3:15
Speaker 2: in the college football game. You're an eighteen year old
3:19
Speaker 2: guy going up against twenty two and twenty three year
3:22
Speaker 2: old young men. That's a big difference. You know, you
3:27
Speaker 2: get all the geniuses like I do. I ain't no
3:29
Speaker 2: difference between playing high school ball and college ball. Yeah,
3:34
Speaker 2: until your ass is on the field. Then you find
3:37
Speaker 2: out real quick that's a big difference in playing that,
3:41
Speaker 2: especially in the trenches. And so that to me is
3:46
Speaker 2: a big question mark. LSU does not have a lot
3:51
Speaker 2: of depth up front along that defensive line, and it's
3:57
Speaker 2: really how quickly, too, can you get a pass rush.
4:02
Speaker 2: LSU has sporadically gotten people that can put pressure on
4:06
Speaker 2: the quarterback. Can Jordan Ross and human Kneeling be those guys?
4:15
Speaker 2: It makes the secondary's job a lot easier when you
4:20
Speaker 2: got pressure. And I always believe that nothing wins games
4:25
Speaker 2: more in the fourth quarter than a pass rush. Nothing,
4:29
Speaker 2: And so that that's still to me a major issue,
4:34
Speaker 2: a question mark. I should say for Relashu the anterior
4:39
Speaker 2: defensive line and having to play a lot of younger
4:43
Speaker 2: guys and can human meeling and Ross be the guy
4:52
Speaker 2: coming off the edge to give you that pass rush.
4:56
Speaker 2: We saw it in Spurts in the spring with both
4:59
Speaker 2: of them. Can they be consistent with it? That to
5:03
Speaker 2: me is the big key for l Shoe this year.
5:07
Speaker 2: Going back to it. What LSU you had remembered them
5:12
Speaker 2: for for years was their ability to run the ball
5:17
Speaker 2: and slam the door on stopping to run. They've done
5:21
Speaker 2: neither the last three to four years. The final year
5:27
Speaker 2: of Jaden Daniels was all masked because of the fact
5:32
Speaker 2: Daniels was so good be scared of but Jesus Odi
5:35
Speaker 2: every time he took off running. But it wasn't like
5:39
Speaker 2: they could really consistently run the football, And so that
5:44
Speaker 2: I think will improve under Kiffin. You look at these
5:47
Speaker 2: teams that Ole miss They've always run the football pretty
5:50
Speaker 2: well and really well at times. That'll get better. But
5:57
Speaker 2: I got to see it up front for LSU defense
6:00
Speaker 2: line wise, their linebackers are really good and they have
6:03
Speaker 2: some depth. There's sort of paper thin at corner though
6:08
Speaker 2: they're starters and number three guys is really good and
6:13
Speaker 2: they're strong at the safety position, but upfront that that's
6:18
Speaker 2: some question marks. And if you're gonna get beat, that's
6:21
Speaker 2: where you're gonna get beat. That. If I'm will Miss
6:24
Speaker 2: in game three, I'm going to run the football at
6:27
Speaker 2: them and prove that they can stop the run. I'm
6:30
Speaker 2: a running with lacing and and prove to me that
6:34
Speaker 2: you can stop the run, because it's been a question
6:38
Speaker 2: mark the last few years.
6:39
Speaker 1: All right, So so Levitt's cleared, He's good to go. Uh,
6:45
Speaker 1: Mike feels good about the LSU offense and it sounds
6:49
Speaker 1: like the second third level of the LSU defense. But
6:52
Speaker 1: what are they going to have on the defense? They
6:54
Speaker 1: got talent, but a lot of them are young and inexperience.
6:58
Speaker 1: Game three, they'll go against Triniday and Lacy and Ole
7:02
Speaker 1: Miss and should be one hell of a game. Could
7:05
Speaker 1: be one of the better college football as far as
7:08
Speaker 1: hype and all that. Nothing will match it just because
7:10
Speaker 1: of Lane and everything that played out, But could be
7:14
Speaker 1: one of the best games of the season, which will
7:16
Speaker 1: be awesome. He's Mike Natilier WWL Radio TV New Orleans.
7:20
Speaker 1: He joins us on one oh five None the Zone ESPN.
7:23
Speaker 1: We're powered by sound and communications for your next video wall.
7:27
Speaker 1: All right, So mikey, what about Charlie Weist Junior. So
7:32
Speaker 1: you know, there are so many guys that are under
7:35
Speaker 1: unbelievable head coaches who also are specialized on that side
7:40
Speaker 1: of the ball, that get a lot of pub but
7:42
Speaker 1: really aren't that good. Well, for example, under Belichick, Romeo
7:46
Speaker 1: Crenell and Charlie Whis Senior were supposed to be amazing
7:49
Speaker 1: and then they get out from under the nest and
7:51
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out. We saw that with some guys
7:53
Speaker 1: under Saban. Charlie Weiss Junior may be a little bit
7:57
Speaker 1: different here, Mike. He may actually even though Lane casts
8:02
Speaker 1: a shadow over him because Lane is the play caller,
8:05
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like Weiss Junior may may have
8:08
Speaker 1: some stuff to him and maybe a real valuable piece
8:11
Speaker 1: of the puzzle. Is that the way you see.
8:13
Speaker 2: It, Mike, Yeah, I really do. I did a national
8:17
Speaker 2: show yesterday morning and it was something that was brought
8:22
Speaker 2: up to me, and my feeling is Weiss is going
8:25
Speaker 2: to be kind of one and done at LSU. I
8:28
Speaker 2: think he can propel himself into being a head coach
8:31
Speaker 2: at the collegiate level. He's I think he's that good.
8:35
Speaker 2: He relates really well to players. We've heard that from
8:38
Speaker 2: people at Ole Miss from people that he's dealt with
8:43
Speaker 2: at LSU. Excellent recruiter. Again, there's some genetics there, and
8:50
Speaker 2: so I think he's a huge piece of a puzzle
8:54
Speaker 2: here because you always like even the Lane I think
8:58
Speaker 2: sees the game differently. I remember this was probably October
9:03
Speaker 2: of last year and I got coach Ojean to come
9:08
Speaker 2: on the show with us on WWL and I asked
9:11
Speaker 2: him about Lane. He was like, Mike, I've been around
9:14
Speaker 2: a lot of really good coaches in my time, but
9:18
Speaker 2: nobody saw the game like Lane does. Because he said,
9:22
Speaker 2: you know, as for me, I'm an old line coach.
9:26
Speaker 2: You know, I see what's going on up front, offensive,
9:29
Speaker 2: defensive line. But he says, you know, with Lane, you
9:33
Speaker 2: can talk to him about something. He sees all twenty two,
9:38
Speaker 2: all twenty two out on the field. At the same time,
9:40
Speaker 2: he said, just amazing. He said, I've never been around
9:43
Speaker 2: anybody that could do that like that. And you know,
9:45
Speaker 2: he coached with you know, Pete Carroll and Jimmy Johnson
9:49
Speaker 2: and you can kind of go on, you know, Sean Payton,
9:53
Speaker 2: all those guys, and he was like just amazing how
9:56
Speaker 2: he can see breakdowns and try to catch you where
10:02
Speaker 2: you you're very vulnerable on the defensive side the football.
10:07
Speaker 2: And but I think Charlie has learned a lot of
10:10
Speaker 2: that from from Lane Kiffin and the fact that Lane
10:14
Speaker 2: would trust him, I think is goes to show what
10:18
Speaker 2: Lane thinks of Charlie Whisse junior. So I think if
10:21
Speaker 2: they have the success that I think that they don't
10:23
Speaker 2: have this year, then Weiss can propel this to being
10:27
Speaker 2: a head coach in college football. And he's already was
10:32
Speaker 2: looked at strongly by a number of NFL teams to
10:35
Speaker 2: come in. You know, oh, that's right, he said, no,
10:39
Speaker 2: toned him down down.
10:42
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. Mike d and Dan Ellis they
10:47
Speaker 1: they they're paying him like two and a half million
10:50
Speaker 1: dollars a year or something to be the OC show.
10:52
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. That's pretty good, man, they are. That's
10:57
Speaker 2: pretty good to get paid that as an assistant. But yeah,
11:00
Speaker 2: he's going to have opportunities. He's definitely going to have
11:03
Speaker 2: opportunities as a head coach at the college level or
11:07
Speaker 2: at the NFL level as an offensive coordinator, quarterback coach,
11:13
Speaker 2: and so I think he's somebody, especially early on. And
11:20
Speaker 2: I think sometimes we overblow this about so many new
11:26
Speaker 2: players on every team and about man, look what happened
11:30
Speaker 2: at l s U with all the changes and transfer
11:33
Speaker 2: portal guys. But couldn't you say that about virtually every
11:37
Speaker 2: team in college football that you have all these changes happening,
11:43
Speaker 2: either you losing them to the NFL draft or graduation
11:48
Speaker 2: or transfer portal, some disappointments, and you're constantly changing. It's
11:55
Speaker 2: an evolving league, to be honest with you, and it's
12:01
Speaker 2: just not La shoot, it's all over now. The major
12:04
Speaker 2: turnover for LSU was that wide receiver and along the
12:10
Speaker 2: offensive line, massive turnover there. How quickly all that can
12:15
Speaker 2: come together, we'll see. But there's talent, Here's a lot
12:20
Speaker 2: of talent. And you know, there is no preseason or
12:26
Speaker 2: no inner squad scrimmage. Eventually we might see that one day,
12:31
Speaker 2: you know, but in college football they could sell it.
12:35
Speaker 2: Believe me, they would be doing it. But how quickly
12:39
Speaker 2: that can come together? For alow? Shoot, I think the
12:41
Speaker 2: month of September is one to watch because of you know,
12:46
Speaker 2: you start off against Clemson, who they aren't as good
12:50
Speaker 2: as maybe we've seen in years past, but they still
12:52
Speaker 2: got some talent there. Then you play Louisiana Tech and
12:56
Speaker 2: then it's Old Miss. And then the week afterwards you
12:58
Speaker 2: play Texas A and M team that has had your
13:02
Speaker 2: number the last two years. And LSU has had leagues
13:07
Speaker 2: at halftime for both games, and they got the still
13:10
Speaker 2: kicked out of him in the second half against A
13:13
Speaker 2: and M. But look at ol Miss okay and the
13:17
Speaker 2: first two games they got through that. And then they
13:19
Speaker 2: play LSU, but then a sneaky game afterwards Florida Yes
13:26
Speaker 2: with John somemmraw And I keep telling people not because
13:31
Speaker 2: I did this show with him for years when he
13:33
Speaker 2: was at plane here and John some ara all and
13:37
Speaker 2: he knows his stuff and he can recruit. He'll squeeze
13:41
Speaker 2: every bit of vitamin C he can out of the orange.
13:44
Speaker 2: That's a tricky game for Ole Miss absolutely, And one
13:52
Speaker 2: thing for sure, I know he's going to sell this man.
13:56
Speaker 2: All this hype about LSU Ole Miss man, they disrespect
14:01
Speaker 2: you know, they don't think we can hang with them,
14:04
Speaker 2: and emotionally, to get a team up back to back
14:07
Speaker 2: weeks like that is gonna be tough. Same thing for
14:11
Speaker 2: Kiffin having to play A and M, even though you
14:14
Speaker 2: got them at Tiger Stadium. That's gonna be a really,
14:18
Speaker 2: really tough game for LSU. And I don't think A
14:23
Speaker 2: and M is as good as they were a year ago,
14:26
Speaker 2: but still a really good football team. And sometimes it's
14:30
Speaker 2: not who you played, but when you play.
14:33
Speaker 1: That's that's exactly right. Mike Detillier, LSU Insider WWL Radio
14:39
Speaker 1: on the Farm Bureau Insurance guest Line. You're listening to
14:42
Speaker 1: one oh five None the Zone ESPN. We had talked
14:45
Speaker 1: about that last week. Mike makes a great point on
14:48
Speaker 1: the LSU two. LSU and ole Miss will come out
14:51
Speaker 1: of those games with brutal games. Ole Miss has to
14:54
Speaker 1: go to Florida and then LSU has to host A
14:58
Speaker 1: and M after all all the hype going into September nineteenth,
15:02
Speaker 1: and how physical a game that will be both emotionally,
15:06
Speaker 1: physically and mentally, and those are things, those are things
15:10
Speaker 1: to watch, you know, Mike, I wouldn't be surprised if
15:16
Speaker 1: y'all if LSU pulls away from Clemson in the in
15:21
Speaker 1: the second half. Once Kiffen and Levitt and everybody kind
15:25
Speaker 1: of gets a few series in the first half under
15:27
Speaker 1: their belt and their feet on the ground. I wouldn't
15:31
Speaker 1: be surprised if Lsu and Baker and Kiffen put the
15:36
Speaker 1: hammer down on on Dabbo. Could you see that happen.
15:41
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna try. If I know Kiffen, I
15:44
Speaker 2: think he's gonna try. Yeah, that kind of a statement.
15:48
Speaker 2: Deal about Hey, y'all talked about this and that in
15:52
Speaker 2: the offseason. I think if he has an opportunity, he will.
15:57
Speaker 2: And one of the things came out of the spring
16:00
Speaker 2: that surprised me, and he talked about three guys in particular.
16:06
Speaker 2: One was trade As Green. You could understand that you
16:09
Speaker 2: got a six foot seven tight end that can play
16:11
Speaker 2: like he can. And ty Benafield, the transfer safety from
16:19
Speaker 2: Boise State. Such a good open field tackle when you
16:23
Speaker 2: watch him, how good he can play centerfield. He can
16:26
Speaker 2: also play up front against the run. And then Jordan Seaton,
16:30
Speaker 2: the big left tackle. But the other guy he brought
16:34
Speaker 2: up quite a bit was Dylan Jones, the running back
16:39
Speaker 2: transfer from Wisconsin, and at the end of spring, Dylan
16:44
Speaker 2: Jones was running with the first team unit at running
16:48
Speaker 2: back over Harlem Barry and Kayden Doom Okay now He's
16:54
Speaker 2: built differently because he's a kind of a sharp, stocky guy,
16:58
Speaker 2: almost a hammer back. Where you know Harlem is the speed,
17:04
Speaker 2: quickness back and catching the ball coming out of the backfield.
17:07
Speaker 2: Cayden is a little bit of a combo back. But man,
17:13
Speaker 2: I think if they have an opportunity late in the game,
17:17
Speaker 2: I think he would try to put something on but
17:20
Speaker 2: ruing it, not necessarily throwing it. I think he wants
17:25
Speaker 2: to make a statement that you know, it's just more
17:28
Speaker 2: than just pitch and catch with us, that we're going
17:31
Speaker 2: to be a very physical team. And he brought this
17:34
Speaker 2: up numerous times, the two things over and over. The
17:38
Speaker 2: physicality part of this game. You got to show it
17:42
Speaker 2: and earn it, to earn that monocle of being a
17:46
Speaker 2: physical team. The other thing he brought up was about
17:50
Speaker 2: if you want to see changes in college football, look
17:54
Speaker 2: at the NFL. He said, they do it first and
17:57
Speaker 2: then recopy it. Think about changes in the NFL today
18:03
Speaker 2: so much twelve thirteen personnel, two tight ends, three tight
18:07
Speaker 2: ends you see in the NFL today that you know
18:11
Speaker 2: years ago, if you saw two tight ends on the field,
18:14
Speaker 2: it was a third yarn. Now use those tight ends
18:20
Speaker 2: as receivers, and you saw what McVeigh did last year
18:23
Speaker 2: with the thirteen person The other part was the safety play,
18:31
Speaker 2: what Nick him and Warry did for Seattle and their
18:35
Speaker 2: ability to use him up front against the run in
18:38
Speaker 2: that sharp zone coverage part of the field. You know,
18:42
Speaker 2: he's a big, strong safety. You can use him a
18:45
Speaker 2: lot of different ways. And he said that not once,
18:50
Speaker 2: not twice, three times about the physical part you have
18:55
Speaker 2: to earn it, and secondly about look at the changes
18:59
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Well, and that's what's happening in college football.
19:04
Speaker 2: LSU has never been known for twelve personnel. They did
19:10
Speaker 2: it with less, but it was the run the ball.
19:13
Speaker 2: I think you're going to see that with LSU this
19:15
Speaker 2: year with twelve personnel and also with ty Binnifield using
19:21
Speaker 2: him in the same role as what we saw Seattle
19:25
Speaker 2: use Nickim and Worey. He said it. He didn't come
19:29
Speaker 2: out and tell you how he was going to do it,
19:32
Speaker 2: but in.
19:32
Speaker 1: The Honey Badger podcast he basically said it, right, Yeah.
19:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is something that you can see more and
19:40
Speaker 2: more of. And I think he's right. You will see
19:43
Speaker 2: more and more teams in the in college football using
19:47
Speaker 2: that because now you can go out and find the
19:50
Speaker 2: six foot four six' five tight end that's a hybrid
19:54
Speaker 2: today he's really a humbo, player like part wide. Receiver
20:00
Speaker 2: you got those, guys, Man i'll see them every year
20:02
Speaker 2: at all the. Camps and we have our final One
20:05
Speaker 2: friday here At antibula At Nickels. State last, year this

Speaker 2: as tight ends this year signed up and it's not
20:23
Speaker 2: all the numbers are all. In we have thirty nine tight.
20:26
Speaker 2: Ends that's a big jump at one. Position and we
20:32
Speaker 2: see it in the high school. Ranks and because they're,
20:35
Speaker 2: there you can you're going to get them into the college.
20:38
