  Speaker 3: And Matt Lynn.

• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Studio, here's Jacob Hester and Matt Lynn. Come on. Thank you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Right. Welcome back in OTB, hour number three. And we
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: are going to be so good on the clock.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: We're going to be Flavor Flav here in this hour
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: number three. Jake Flynn, Alonja, Tay-Tay, the Wolfpack, all here
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: with you for hour number three. Our Monday show is
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: brought to you by Bayou Automotive, bayouautomotive.com. And Matt, if
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Saints fans weren't feeling bad enough, you found some stats
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: to make them feel, well, maybe even worse.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if it's going to make you
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: feel worse. It's not going to make you feel better.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to tell you, we're in good company.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: First quarter.
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: I can't remember.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Have the Saints been good or bad in the first quarter?
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: It's been pretty bad.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: It's been pretty bad? Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: Six points, right?
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: Saints have scored six total points through the first seven
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: games of the 2026 NFL professional football season.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Wait. Time out. Give me 30. What'd you say?
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: The Saints have scored in the first quarter. So that's
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: seven total quarters. First seven games. Six total points. Now,
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: that's not an average. That's an accumulation. If you add
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: them all up on points. That's one touchdown and a
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: missed extra point. So that's not the worst in NFL history.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: So if we go back to 1999, statistically, that's the
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: sixth worst performance in the history of the NFL. There
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: was a 2002 Jaguars scored a total of four points
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: through their first seven games. Now, they were 6-10, not
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: very good. 2011, the Browns scored a total of three points.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: They weren't very good either.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: They were 4-12.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: The Cardinals in 2000 scored three points total in the
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: first three games in the first quarter.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: They were pretty terrible. They were 3-13. They scored three points.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: 1999 Cardinals, so 1999 and 2000, they had a historic
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: run of just being terrible in the first quarter. They
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: only scored three points as well. They were 6-10. In
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: 1999 and 2000, the Arizona Cardinals scored a total of
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: six points through the first seven games of their seasons there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: But the outlier, this is something to look forward to
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: for the Saints fans. Saints, if you want something to
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: hold your hat on, I got evidence here. That says
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: we might win a Super Bowl.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: The worst team since 1999 through the first seven games
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: in the first quarter. 2024 Philadelphia Eagles scored exactly zero
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: points in the first quarter through their first seven games. Well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: guess what? They were 14-3. I believe they won a
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl that year. So if you want something to
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: be hopeful for Saints fans, that's nearly a guarantee.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I hate that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Just short of a guarantee.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: What was the record? 14-3, so you've.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: Already lost more games than that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Well, we can't reach that. They didn't score any, so
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: you're six points better than Super Bowl champs.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: You know how hard it is to score six points
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in one quarter?
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: It's harder to rush for 18 yards on 17 attempts.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I'll say that.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: That's very true.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Again, you could run 17 quarterback sneaks and, what, rush
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: for 30 yards?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, roughly.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: 30 yards, maybe more. Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe you squirt one for three or four yards. You
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: can run fullback belly and get two and a half,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: three yards of carry.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: You got 1.1. If you ran for 40 to 50 yards,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: you'd probably win that game. You said that earlier.
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: Here's something else to boost the spirits, Matt. I went
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: and dove into, like, hey, what was their record in
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: the first seven games? They were 2-2 to start the year.
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: Week five, bye week. Then they rattled off nine straight wins.
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: Saints have a bye week coming up this week.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Here we go. That's what I'm talking about. It's going
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: to be a lot of football left to launder.
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: So much football left.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: A lot of football left.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: I'm not looking forward to watching any of it. I
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: got up real early on Sunday. I love, maybe this
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: is a hot take. I don't know. I floated it
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: in my family group chat and everybody was like, what
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: is wrong with you? I love the early games. Like
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: when they're out the country and there's an early game,
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: I love it. I wake up, put the TV on,
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: immediate football. I woke up early. I was like, man.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: Some Saints football in Paris. Let's go.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: What a way to start a Sunday. Oh, my God. Yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Like, I should have connected these dots.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: What?
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: The worst first quarter offense in the history of the
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: NFL through seven games.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Offensive coordinator.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Kellen Moore.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: There it is.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Damn it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: Did we just make a discovery?
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to Adam. I don't know why I
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: didn't connect those dots. Brain fog.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: I didn't either.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: What was Saints last year?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Probably not good. I'll find that out.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, I just got a text. Wasn't Kellen Moore
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: also the OC on that Philly team? He was. You
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: said it, and I just didn't even.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Y'all were like, who? Didn't register to anyone. Everybody in
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: this room was like, who?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Who are we talking about?
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: We're on pins and needles here, Matt.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Tell us.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: Hey.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Hey.
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: Your brain fog is like contagious. It's the one brain cell.
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: If one of you isn't working, we all don't work. Bye, guys.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: It's a tough scene. Oh, man. That's egregious. You have to.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: You have to start fast in the NFL. And if
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: you got somebody with a track record, even on a
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl winning team that didn't.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Like that team was good enough to overcome it. Good
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: on them. This team's not.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: No.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Seems bad. They shouldn't be this bad.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: All right. Through seven games last year.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Not bad.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: 16 points.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: That's still not.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: 0-0-0-7-3-6-0.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: The first seven games.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: It's almost 3x what you got this year, though.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Every now and then, like, a team just fumbles and
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: it's just laying there and you just pick it up
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: and run to the end zone.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Every now and then. Yeah.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Like, lucky things happen. You don't have to be good
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: to get lucky sometimes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: And so now it's in a situation for me where, like,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: when I take a look at the Saints, and, like,
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: we can say the division's bad because it's not great,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: but Carolina's better.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Atlanta's better.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Tampa Bay now with Baker Mayfield back, they just beat
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: the hell out of Carolina.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: They're better.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: They scored 43 points yesterday. What the hell happened in
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: that game?
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: Atlanta, I was not familiar with.
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: Baker only had to throw 10 passes.
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: He was 7 of 10 for 65 yards.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: How does that happen?
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: They scored 17. Their defense was responsible for 17 points.
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: Wait, speaking of, did y'all see the Rice quarterback?
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: No.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: Okay, so Rice quarterback, Gael Ochoa. I saw this. It
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: was on Twitter, so we can fact check. So he,
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: whenever they posted the screenshot, had some touchdowns but zero
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: passing yards. And they were like, is he just running
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: the ball in every single play? Like, is he just
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: tucking the ball and running? This man was running every
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: single play of the game. They pulled up videos of it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: I meant to send it to the group chat yesterday
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: because it was just so funny to me. He just
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: was running every single play versus Florida Atlantic.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: And they won?
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: No, they actually lost. But here, let me read you
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: his game log. Two for five for 80 yards.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: That's a good average.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: 12 carries for 259 yards and four touchdowns.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: So he's a running quarterback?
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: Apparently.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Dual threat.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: I don't know about dual.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: Hey, two completions for 80 yards. It's 40 yards of pop, guys.
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: It's a good average. Make them count.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: You need Tyler Shuck on that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: Matt, it gets worse.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: No, it doesn't.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: I was like, hey, who was Kellen Moore when? it
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: was the LA Chargers for a year in 2023. The
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: entire 2023 season, the LA Chargers scored 26 points in
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: the first quarter.
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: How does it just keep getting worse? How does this
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: keep happening?
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys 2022. A little bit better.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Not great.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: It's just like at some point you run into a
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: team that has a bad game plan.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Even if you're a bad first quarter team. Which
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: I've never even like made that statement more than I
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: have today. Because like First quarter, there's four of them, right? So, like, okay,
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: you got a couple bad first quarters, whatever. But, like,
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: eventually you're going to run into a quarterback that makes
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: a dumb mistake. Eventually you're going to run into somebody
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: that put a game plan together that was bad and
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: they had to make adjustments, but she scored some points.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Eventually something happens.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: But, you know, it didn't. And it doesn't, and it won't.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: Okay, so the Saints finally got put on one of
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: those AI, the one that we've been laughing out of.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: Kaelin DeBoer did it the best, let's be honest.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: The original is the best one.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: The original is the best.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: They're doing it too much.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: So they're doing it way too much, but they put
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: the Saints on there. They have my guy Chase Young
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: on there. I'm like, okay, you can do this to
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: the Saints, but get Chase Young off of this.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Get him off of it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: They had Olave on the sacks.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: They shouldn't. No.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Olave and Chase Young can't.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Be on there.
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: Gale should be on the sacks.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Gale or Mickey, right?
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: Wow. Mickey should be doing the fist bump that Cignetti
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: was doing.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: Who should be singing?
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: Gale needs to be on the sax.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: Cesar Ruiz would be a good front man.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: Kellen needs to be singing.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Mickey playing sax.
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: Kellen having zero personality and singing like that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Would be really funny.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: That'd be good. All right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Hey, shout out to everybody else on the station. Your
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: free food's still here.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.

• 12:17
  Speaker 3: From the Monopoly. An awful lot of game piece there.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: We will step away. Just another sad Saints stat of.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: The day as we continue to break down their loss
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: All right. We'll take a break. More OTB when we

• 14:30
  Speaker 5: All right, welcome back in. OTB, live from the Raising
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Cane Studio. Yesterday was National Tight Ends Day. And there was,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I saw a parlay out there floating around. It was
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: like eight tight ends, like these certain eight tight ends scored.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: And if you would have had all eight of them
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: scoring a $ 10.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Bet, $ 20 million.
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: That's crazy.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming they didn't.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Nobody did.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: Not a lot of big-time tight ends scored yesterday.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: But if you would have had these certain eight. It
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: had Darnell Washington.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: Mike Gusecki is going to get a touchdown every weekend.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: It's true. It was Davis Allen from the Rams. He
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: got one. Mason Taylor, shout out.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he got one too.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Tucker Kraft got one. Darren Waller got one. Hawkinson got one.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: So it didn't hit, right?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: McFuse got one.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: Did it hit or no?
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so nobody did it, but it was saying if
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: you had these eight tight ends.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, like a hypothetical.
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: If you were to put $ 10 on these eight tight ends,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: it would have been a $ 20 million payback.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's worth risking $ 10.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: If I'd have seen that ahead of time.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Next year on National Tight End Day, y'all.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: We got to do that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: We can come up with four different ones. We'll play
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: $ 10 on each of them. What was the one?
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: Well, no, never mind. It was a baseball one.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: It was not National Tight End Day, though.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: That's all right.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: We'll make a National Running Back weekend next weekend.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I think any weekend is a good weekend to win
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: $ 20 million.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Fair.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be on that specific weekend.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: I was just saying maybe they were feeding them a
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: little bit more.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think so.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Some other news in college football because we didn't win
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: the $ 20 million, so we're still here.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: So, you know, we still got to talk sports.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: How'd we do in our early?
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Not great. It was a bad week. Bad week.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: Wait, I think mine actually. Wait, what did I do? No,
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: I did Tennessee.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Never mind. It didn't hit. It was bad. It was bad.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: It's okay. It's all right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: We'll bounce back.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: We will bounce back.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: A couple of moves in college football. Dave Dorn out
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: at NC State. Baylor fired Dave Aranda. So Dave Aranda
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: now out as the Baylor head coach. A couple, you know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: obviously a couple of different firings in college football.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: It is that time.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: There was a rumor that Dabo was going to get
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: fired yesterday that got a couple of people there on
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: social media.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: The old fake account got a couple of people there.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Not me.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Credit to myself.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: Did you not see it?
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't see it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: You would have.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: You'd be like, guys.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: They'll get Chad Morris first.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Somewhere out there, Dabo Sweeney is playing the saxophone somewhere
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: for sure.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: So the coaching carousel is already starting there.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: I love a coaching carousel.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: But for Baylor, like, and Matt, you obviously know that program. Like,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: what does Baylor think they're going to get right now?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Dave seemed like the perfect, like.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Mike Locke's going to get fired a couple days later.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: It has been a long time. Like, Dave's been there
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: a minute.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. 40 and 40 over seven seasons.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: But you have to expect with where the Big 12
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: is at.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: Now, with a lot of their main powers gone, that
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: you have to expect better than 40 and 40.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Like, over that, I mean, that's a long time.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: What is it? Nine seasons?
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Seven. Seven seasons?
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Nine.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: That's hard.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: That's tough.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Brain fog.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: I like the DJ Lagway stat. He got two head
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: coaches fired at two different programs.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice. Okay.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: $ 12 million buyout for Dave Aranda.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: He was the perfect fit for that program, though. I
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: think everybody loved it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: He had some highs.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: They wanted it. They wanted it to work so bad.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: There's just only so long that you can wait. Like
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I said, the main power is being gone in the
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: Big 12. 40-40 is not good enough. I would say
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: that for probably every team in the Big 12. You
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: have to think 40-40 over seven years is going to
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: get a change.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So Dave's out.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Going to be a $ 12 million buyout for Dave Aranda.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Now they'll look for their next head coach. Mike Loxley
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: at Maryland a couple days ago. He was fired after
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: seven games into his eighth season. Started out 2-5. His
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: overall record at Maryland was 39-54. He's going to have
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: a $ 10 million buyout. Dave Dorn at NC State. So
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: they fired him after this weekend. They lost to Stanford.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: 14 seasons, 14 seasons with the school there in different capacities,
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: and he had a 98-73 record. His buyout is going
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: to be $ 9. 75 million. He's getting paid at least $ 10 million.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: What you're saying is they're all going to do well.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to do okay. They're going to be fine.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Stanford has got way more taxes. Yeah, they're going to be. No, no,
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: they lost to Stanford. That's why. No, no, NC State.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Dave Dorn at NC State lost to Stanford. That was
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: like the final straw. A name to watch there, apparently,
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: the first name?
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Phillip Rivers.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Remember, he got interviewed for the Buffalo Bills job and
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: took his name out of it. His son, Gunner, committed
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: to NC State. He played at NC State. Has his
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: number retired, obviously.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: The whole deal.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: That would be a fun one.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: That would be fun. I don't know if he wants
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: to do that. I can see him more as an
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: NFL guy than a college guy, but I don't know.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: You don't know. It's getting closer, so maybe. I don't know.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I can see him as like a college OC. But, like, yeah,
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: does he want to be a college head coach?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's a lot of time.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of time. Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Constantly having to suck up to high schoolers.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't see him doing that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: That seems like a pain.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: I guess you don't have to necessarily do it if
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: you're like a portal team.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: I guess so.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: That's speed dating. You don't have time to even.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: Suck up to them.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: I guess so, but at a certain point, that's why
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: college coach, it's never been harder to coach than it
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: is now in college because used to, you could, once
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: your kids got there. And your roster was established. They
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: weren't going anywhere. Now you've got to continue. You have
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: to recruit and retain. Like, the retainage part's harder, I
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: would assume.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Because you can't, like, you know, can't treat them like
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: dirt when they get there like they used to back
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: in our day.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: You know, recruiting a 26-man recruiting class, you're recruiting 100
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: guys every year.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Every single year. So, like, you probably can't coach them
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: how you want to all the time is what I'm saying.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: And if you know what I mean, you know what
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: I mean. because you constantly have to be like, well,
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: I can't hurt their feelings too bad because I don't
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: want them to leave.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: And you've got to be able to coach them. You've
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: got to be able to coach them. So you have
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: to follow. There's a way to do it, certainly. Like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, shoot, there was probably times that I was like,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: I got yelled at. I was like, oh, man, there's
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: a portal. Where's that thing? You're going to pay me?
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Jimbo just used to whisper sweet nothings to you. All right,
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: so we will take a break real quick.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I think the next kind of list of coaches to
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: be on the lookout for, Mike Norvell, Deion Sanders at Colorado.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: There's been some murmurs of, like, maybe him, you know,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: kind of the way it's gone there in Colorado.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know because they're still.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Getting talked about way more than they did before, so
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: they might actually take a look at that and then
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: give him the rest of this year, maybe another year.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Greg Shano at Rutgers is another name. I think Shane
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Beamer's probably coached himself off of it over the last
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks, and Shane's always ebbs and flows. Oh,
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: my gosh, South Carolina's done, and then he'll find a
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: way to win two big games like he did this year.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: Lenore Sellers, 13 touchdown passes.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Best quarterback in the country.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: Need nine more for my prediction of country.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Good luck. All right, we will take a break.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Before we do, I want to remind you that we
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: are at Rouse's every single Friday.
• 22:31

• 22:42
  Speaker 5: We've had a couple people come hang out with us, watch.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: They watch us do the show, interact during the breaks.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: We always appreciate that. But it doesn't have to be

  Speaker 5: the chat about us doing an eye in the sky
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: with the New Orleans Saints and their rushing attack or
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: lack thereof.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I'll see what we can do. I know for NFL.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: You guys are glutton for punishment.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: I know for NFL film, there is a service there.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: You just pay for the service. We'll see if we
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: can get that done. And maybe, you know, we can
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: pick out a handful of plays, do a quick 10,
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: 15 minutes. six play kind of breakdown of what's going
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: wrong with the saints rushing attack.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: There's a lot, a lot going wrong there, but we can,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: maybe we can do that. Maybe.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: I think I want to say there's some way I
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: do have access already, but I'll, I'll see if I
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: can get maybe even do.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: A, it's much more accessible than college film.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: You just got to pay for the service, which we
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: don't do just yet. So, you know, but I would
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: love to kind of one of those things. Losing money
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: left and right.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: We're already in the hole like $ 300.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, if your company wants a sponsor, eye in the sky.
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: Hit us up.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Hit us up. Let us know. It is open for
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: business and we get lots of views. Lots of views.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: All the views.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: It's the best film review.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: I've said it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Trump hadn't addressed anything in the sports world in a while.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: It's been a minute.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: You know what also... Coaches got fired and you didn't.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: No.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: Eulogies.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Those official firings?
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: They're official today.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: We'll do it tomorrow.
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: All right. I actually thought you'd have one for Dave.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I thought you'd have one for Aranda.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Brain fog. It's all right.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I'm feeling your best. It wasn't like the best weekend.
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: We'll have that for you tomorrow.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Absolute fever during the weekend.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Literally.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Literally.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: This is going to be a fun film breakdown for LSU,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: like it truly is.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: And there's so many.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Plays that I want our listeners, LSU fans, football fans
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: to see.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And there's going to be some offensive wins for sure.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: And, look, we're both offensive guys, so a lot of
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: times we'll go heavy offense because it's what we like,
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: it's what we did. But defensively, I cannot wait. And
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I've got like five plays that I've already starred. We
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: know Matt's going to have 47 plays already starred. that
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about because there was so much
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: good in the scheme and the things that they disguised
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: and how they kept a very, very good rushing quarterback,
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: the leading rusher with over 100 carries already on the
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: year in Brown for the Auburn Tigers.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: They kept him in check. He had one run.
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: He had one.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: And the one run that he had, it was a
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: player getting a little too nosy up in the line of.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Scrimmage, and they had a player for him. And that
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: was clinic tape.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: And to a lot of people that have talked about
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: the– running quarterbacks against LSU over the last couple years,
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: you got to take a look. You got to take
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: a look at what they've done this year so far.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: That portion of it's been really good.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been exceptional. That's what it's been. Especially like
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: you go back weeks ago to Marcel and Texas A
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: & M, what he's done to you in the last
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: couple years and what you did to him this year.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Then you got a guy, Byron Brown, who's one of
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: the top runners and throwers combined to ever do it.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Especially like right now in college football.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And you hit almost 500 yards rushing.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: You pretty much shut him down.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: So yeah, what they're doing schematically is ultra impressive. And
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: we've talked about it a lot during the show that
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: the front seven, let's just go to the defensive line
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: in general is playing so good and improving a little
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: bit every single week on how they're, attacking blockers, how
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: they're shedding blockers, how they are attacking and putting pressure
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: on the quarterback but not getting themselves out of position
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: to where a quarterback's got an easy A or B
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: gap to run through or to step up. And then
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: when we do give him these glimpses of, oh, this
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: is like these flashes. So what happens when the quarterback
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: is in the pocket and he scrambles is you never
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: want to look down. As a passer, quarterbacks get in
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: trouble because they look down. as soon as you actually
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: take your eyeballs and look down at the pass rush
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: or at the offensive line, that's when you're screwed as
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: a passer because you can't go back up and then
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: try to find the DBs. Your eyes have to be
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: down the field. You're never looking at your receivers. You're
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: looking at the defenders. You're looking at the secondary and
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: seeing what they're doing from a coverage standpoint because you've
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: repped your route so many times you know where your
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: receiver should be. But as soon as you look down,
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: It's hard to go back up and look at the
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: defense back. So you have to feel it with your peripherals.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of feel that goes into work in
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: the pocket. So feeling-wise in your peripheral, you see big gaps.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: You see big voids. You see big swatches of grass.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: So that is what the feeling is. You feel an
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: offensive lineman getting pushed into you. It's not that you
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: see him like you're looking direct. at him you just
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: feel it or you get in your peripherals or you
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: feel that um so what blake baker what they're doing
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: is they are they're creating the illusion of a good feeling.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Or a good place or a safe place to scramble
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: to they're creating.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: This illusion by design yeah by design by opening up
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: the air B gap, but then also have been a
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: field from the slot coming in and, and blitzing into
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: that area. Like they're creating this area and they did
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: it against Marcel where they rushed Prince. Well, off the edge,
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: they rush hard from the right side to get Marcel
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: to go left, but then they had a scraper to
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: the left. So like they're creating the illusion to these
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: quarterbacks that it's a safe place over here. Like this
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: is my safe area to step up or to roll
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: out to, or to scramble to, well, You know, that's like,
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: look over here while I'm doing this other thing. That's
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: what Blake Baker's doing because he's got somebody scraping, coming
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: over the top, or to fill that area that is the,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: air quote, like weak spot or the area that the
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: quarterback feels is the safest. So it's impressive to see
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: it drawn up. That's impressive to see what Blake Baker
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: and his staff can do. But it's entirely more impressive
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: to see a defense full of college kids being able
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: to execute that.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: And they're getting better and better and better at it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: And that's what we talked about.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: They're not only executing what they're doing, they're understanding the
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: why of what they're doing. They understand why one person
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: has to put himself out of position so somebody else
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: can be in position. And it's really cool to watch.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: And that's why I say going forward, it's going to
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: take very special quarterback play for four quarters to be.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Able to beat this team.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: And they might see it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: They're going to play good quarterbacks. But I'm just saying
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: it's going to have to take a hell of a game.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: And we've played two quarterbacks this year that played a
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: hell of a game.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Yes. It's a fun watch.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to tomorrow to kind of breaking down
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: and kind of seeing exactly what Blake Baker and that
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: defense did. And I think they're going to have a
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: challenge this next game. Like, Russell's somebody that can do
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: the things that we're talking about. Now, he's going to
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: be able to throw it better than Brown. I don't
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: know that he's quite the runner, right? He's a different runner,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: for sure. He's not quite the same runner. He does
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: throw it better. And so that adds a different element
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: to it because against the Auburn Tigers, you're like, okay, well,
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: beat me throwing it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I dare you. And they couldn't. This one's going to
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: be a little bit more of a challenge. Now, Alabama,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: they got some injuries.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: And how much– They can get done in this next
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks as far as rehab and getting guys back.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: That's going to be something to watch for this game.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Same thing for LSU, and we've talked about it. They've
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: had their injuries, and let's see what they can get back.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Alabama's had some too. Again, it's what we talked about.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: You almost don't want a bye week for LSU because
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: you're playing so well and everything's going so right for
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: you right now. But the injury report for Alabama is
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: going to be something we pay attention to. But regardless,
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: it is going to come down to you being able
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: to stop Russell, a quarterback, and if Sam Leavitt on
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: the other side for you can continue to play like
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: he's played. If he plays like that, it's going to
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: be incredibly difficult to knock off LSU.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: I like the way November lines up way more than
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: I did a couple of weeks ago.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: November, we were all pretty nervous. We were like, oh,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: my God, we got two losses.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: We got to get out of October with just two
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: losses because, my God, you got Alabama and you got
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: Texas coming to town.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Those games look a lot more winnable now than they
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: did a couple of weeks ago.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Arc.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: I'm honestly not as worried about the Tennessee game as
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: I was before either.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: Like, now getting the road win monkey off the bat,
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: that's what, like, concerned me. You couldn't get a road win.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: You got that monkey off your back, and it was
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: a dominant win, too, against, like, not a terrible Auburn team. Like,
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: they're not awful, but that one doesn't. concern me as
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: much as it previously did.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: When you were talking about elite QBs, like George McIntyre
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: is scary. Don't scare me. They got elite weapons on
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: the outside.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: Their defense is solid, but yeah, they're.
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: Kind of the opposite of Auburn. Like Auburn's got a
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: quarterback that can hurt you. No weapons on the outside.
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: I think Tennessee is a complete opposite. Like Bishop's good.
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: Like Staley and Matthews are good. You just don't have
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: anybody to get them the ball consistently.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: I think, I think Keyline probably provides the most, The
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: most fear of what you got left, I think.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm. Arc?
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Arc, no.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: I kind of wish he did.
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, dude, three turnovers again on Saturday. I get
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: that they won, but we were talking about it during break.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: They won in spite of him.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: Between him and Trinidad, that was bad QB play. It
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: was six turnovers.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Trinidad couldn't hit anything. Trinidad, he had a case of
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: the highs.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: He was throwing it high to everybody over the middle
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: and should have been led to more interceptions.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: A lot of balls got tipped up in the air, yeah.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: Arch, they won in spite of him. I know I
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: make fun of his name, and I call him Arch sometimes, blah, blah, blah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: But I don't wish him any ill will, but they
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: won in spite of him. That kind of stinks, but
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: not playing well, not playing good football.
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: Sam Levitt, playing better quarterback than Trinidad Chambliss at least
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: the last couple weeks.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I know, I know.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: I may not head up, but.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: Sam's playing better than anybody in the SEC the last
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: couple weeks.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: You find me a guy.
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, who's dying down the hall?
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: Sounds like a tuberculosis ward out there.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Doc Holliday out in the hallway?
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: I would like to see who Marler thinks is playing better.
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: Lenores?
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Lenores or Leavitt.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: How about this?
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: If the season ended today, this would be Lenore Sellers'
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: worst completion percentage for a season.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: There's a lot of people that are like, he's gotten better.
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: He's not making the catastrophic mistake, but he kind of
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: has it.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: That's like saying the Saints are getting better on first quarter.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: That's six against the Raiders was electric.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Seven next year.
• 35:56

  Speaker 6: All right, welcome back here. Off the Bench closing out
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: the show. I'm going to get to a little Ask
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: the Bench, but before I do, I want to tell
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: you about our friends over at Caterus. When you think
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: about Louisiana, you think about energy. And one company helping
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: shape the future is Caterus. Caterus, developing the Commonwealth LNG
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: Export Facility over there in Cameron Parish, connecting American natural
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: gas with customers around the world. Now under construction after
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: reaching final investment decision in 2026, the project represents a
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: major investment in Louisiana's future. But it's about more than
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: just exporting energy. It's about creating jobs, supporting local businesses,
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: strengthening communities, and reinforcing Louisiana's position as one of the
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: world's leading energy hubs. Through its natural gas production and
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: the Commonwealth LNG project, Catalyst is helping build an integrated
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: energy platform that connects domestic resources with a growing global demand.
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: As construction continues on Louisiana's Gulf coast, Catalyst is proud
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: to invest in American energy, American workers, and a stronger
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: economic future. Catalyst connecting Louisiana energy to the world.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Worldwide.
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: That's a whole planet.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Uh, real quick before we get to ask the bench, um,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Who knows what aliens are listening?
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: Could be more than one planet.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: To some people, we're the aliens.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Most missed kicks for a team over the last two seasons.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: The Saints have 18. Most in the NFL. Daniel Carlson, 66.7%.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Field goal percentage is tied for the worst in the
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: NFL among players currently signed to an active roster.
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: Dude, it just keeps getting worse. Derek told you. He said,
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: don't underestimate them, Matt.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: Maybe just sign Justin Tucker.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: That's very true.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Ask the bench.
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: Sean Watson's out here playing. Sean gets a second chance.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Maybe frying the sky. You can do a offense this
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: week and defense next week. Since LSU has a buyer, maybe,
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: you know, it's not a bad, it's not a bad
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: suggestion there. Maybe we put it like a little, you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: half and half here, 10 plays on offense, 10 plays
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: on defense this week.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: And maybe we can do it next week. I don't know,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: but next week.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: How am I supposed to get through the rest of
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: the first quarter with only 10 plays?
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Next week, I do want to take a look at Alabama, too, though.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Definitely do that. So I was going to. We had
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: all intentions of me breaking down Auburn last week before
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: the Auburn game.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: But I got hit with a little sickness.
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: Got sniped by Fauci.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: Got sniped by Fauci. Talking all that ish to Fauci.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: Got sniped by him.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: That's brutal.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't believe he got that power still.
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Still got little virus snipers out there.
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: They never go away.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Hashtag ask the bench.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Still not getting the shot.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: Was Jake's fight radar lower after this road win at Auburn,
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: or were you ready to throw those boulders if someone
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: wanted the smoke?
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: You always stay ready so you don't have to get.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: Ready, but by the time that we got out of
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: the booth because of, the whipping that you put on them,
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: they were already gone in the fourth quarter.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: So there wasn't anybody to throw anything at. They were gone.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: They left.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: They bailed in the third quarter. I put a video up.
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: They started leaving the third quarter. Wasn't a lot of
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Auburn fans left after that game. Hashtag Ask the Bench.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Based off of LSU's win over Auburn, what improvements you
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: saw in offense and defense that would increase their chances
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: to win over Alabama? I would say offensively, Jackson Harris
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: is one of the go-to targets in the country. Sam
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Levitt's playing at an incredibly high level. Dylan Jones made
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: a lot of hay when a lot of hay wasn't
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: there to be made as far as what was in
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: front of him. Auburn came in with a game plan
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: to stop the run, but he still found a way
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: to get 90-plus yards. Defensively, I thought you confused the
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: quarterback all day long. I thought your corners played really well.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: They didn't have a lot of help because that was
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: by design as well. You trusted them. DJ Pickett just
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: continues to do his thing.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: I think defensively you've played good all year. You're just
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: defensive front is playing a lot better. They're getting better.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: They're young and getting a lot better. Offensively, it looks
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: like a team that has a really good offense that's.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: Had a good offense.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: They just had to play with each other for a while.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: It's a brand-new offensive coach's staff installing a new offense,
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: a quarterback that didn't get to practice in the spring.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: It took time, right?
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: And now they're getting– this is what you want from
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: a college football team. You don't want the two losses,
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: of course.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: Because it makes it really hard to get into the playoffs.
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: But, like, if you can find your way there, you're.
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: Going to be tough.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: Also, like, everybody else dropping games helps you out, too.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: And Kentucky continuing to win.
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: Crazy. Top of the SEC standings right now. And I
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: hate to break it to you, but, like, Alabama's good.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: They're not a juggernaut.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: No.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: Again, you go look at Keelan Russell the last three weeks.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, stop.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: So, I promise you, Texas and Alabama– They are going
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: to be trying to figure out how to stop LSU,
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: not the other way around.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Hashtag ask the bench, which hill would you rather die on?
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: Dabo Sweeney is a top three all-time college coach, or
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: the Indian Mounds at LSU are over 5,000 years old.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: This is not fair.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: This is not fair.
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: This is not fair.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: You know it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: You said the first one, and he was like, okay.
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: And then you said the second one.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: He was like, I think you've got to go Indian Mounds.
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: For your reason, though.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: You can't prove it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: Can't prove it. Can't prove it.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: No matter what side you take, you're not going to.
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: My rear end.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Dabo's not a top three head coach of all time.
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: And guess what? All dirt is old.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those mounds are just like, you know, hey, we
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: got some dirt.
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, dirt's been around forever.
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: We've had dirt for a long time. God created it.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: He makes more of it. People a long time ago
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: pushed it together.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: Hashtag ask the bench. Auburn really bad or LSU getting
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: that much better? LSU's getting better.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, Auburn just went on the road to Athens, Georgia.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: And beat Georgia. They're not great. They're not bad.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: But you made them look really bad. No, she's getting better.

  Speaker 3: Don't stop.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: It's each game, too. They're good enough to play great

  Speaker 6: on any given Saturday, and you didn't let them do it.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: How does this season's chaos compare to 2007? It's not

  Speaker 4: It is.
• 43:55
