Speaker 1: Good morning, Out of bounds ESPN one oh five nine
0:04
Speaker 1: to zone.
0:05

Speaker 1: Powered by Sounded Communications. They are the leader when it
0:22
Speaker 1: comes to video walls, sound comav dot Com. We welcome
0:27
Speaker 1: in Mike d Mike Ntilier WWL Radio on the Farm
0:32
Speaker 1: Bureau Insurance guest Line. We talked extensively last week with
0:37
Speaker 1: Mike on Drew Brees going into the Pro Football Hall
0:41
Speaker 1: of Fame.
0:41
Speaker 2: That will be this weekend.
0:42
Speaker 1: Weekend, and it'll be awesome and there will be plenty
0:46
Speaker 1: of Saints fans with water in their eyes as Sean
0:49
Speaker 1: Payton will be the presenter and Drew Brees is going
0:52
Speaker 1: in as first ballot Hall of Famer as QB one
0:56
Speaker 1: for the New Orland Saints and the greatest player to
0:58
Speaker 1: ever play in the organization. But I'm going to start
1:00
Speaker 1: off with a little bit different angle here today, Mike,
1:04
Speaker 1: who has a better chance of going to the playoffs
1:08
Speaker 1: LSU or the New Orleans Saints with the weak NFC South.
1:15
Speaker 3: Uh, Yeah, it's a good question. I would lean toward
1:19
Speaker 3: LSU me too, only because I mean, you know, the
1:23
Speaker 3: the talent they've accumulated would certainly give them an opportunity.
1:31
Speaker 3: You have approven quarterback and Sam Levitt, you've redone your
1:36
Speaker 3: offensive line. We'll see how quickly all that comes together upfront. Defensively,
1:44
Speaker 3: You've got some pieces in place there, especially in the secondary,
1:50
Speaker 3: where I think that they can make it work. But
1:54
Speaker 3: it's a rough early schedule when you talk about starting
1:58
Speaker 3: off against Clemson and then having Ole Miss and Texas
2:04
Speaker 3: A and M back to back weeks the end September,
2:08
Speaker 3: So I would lean toward LSU. I just think the
2:13
Speaker 3: Saints are one year away, and we see it in
2:18
Speaker 3: the practices, which you know started last Wednesday, and that
2:22
Speaker 3: you know, the defenses that sort of had the upper
2:26
Speaker 3: hand across the board. Uh. And that's not a surprise
2:31
Speaker 3: to me because you know, basically eight of the eleven
2:36
Speaker 3: starters from a year ago on defense are back and
2:40
Speaker 3: some of the key role players are back on offense.
2:45
Speaker 3: And you know, you got new receivers, new tight ends,
2:50
Speaker 3: David Edwards, Travis a Chan and still a young quarterback
2:55
Speaker 3: in this league. So I think it's it's a dead
2:59
Speaker 3: heat to see who can hit the tape first. Uh.
3:02
Speaker 3: In the NFC South, but I would certainly lean toward
3:06
Speaker 3: l s U.
3:07
Speaker 1: Mike Detillier L s U Saints in Chadder on the
3:11
Speaker 1: Farm Bureau Insurance guest line. Uh, Mike, could you make
3:15
Speaker 1: a I think you can make a strong argument that
3:19
Speaker 1: LSU has the best tight end duo in the country.
3:24
Speaker 3: They have the best tight end and treds Green I
3:27
Speaker 3: know that. Uh Huh. I don't know about duel, but
3:31
Speaker 3: they got one who's who's a cut above. And uh.
3:36
Speaker 3: We have heard Lane Kiffin talk about this in some
3:40
Speaker 3: of his pressers on Tuesday, that he would give about
3:45
Speaker 3: you know, his unique talent, uh, and that he's going
3:49
Speaker 3: to use him different ways. I don't think you're going
3:53
Speaker 3: to see him use like a traditional in line tight end.
4:00
Speaker 3: They're gonna flank him out, and I think he wants
4:04
Speaker 3: to cause some issues of downfield from a coverage standpoint.
4:12
Speaker 3: Freda as a six foot seven and a little change,
4:16
Speaker 3: there's nobody that's going to match up with him otherwise.
4:19
Speaker 3: I know that. And athletically, you know, he's a cut above.
4:24
Speaker 3: He's a guy that literally could have played college basketball
4:28
Speaker 3: if that was what he really tried to pursue. But man,
4:34
Speaker 3: he has some talented and last year and remember and
4:39
Speaker 3: we've got it on tape. You know, we had Brian
4:42
Speaker 3: Kelly on and I asked him about feeding the football,
4:46
Speaker 3: you know, more to Trade as Green his dealer is.
4:49
Speaker 3: You know, you know we think Trade is a great talent,
4:52
Speaker 3: all this and that, but you know, we want to
4:54
Speaker 3: distribute it to everybody. Keep everybody healthy, Okay happy. My
4:58
Speaker 3: thing is, man, the hell with that. I want to
5:02
Speaker 3: win and he and he's my biggest weapon, and feed
5:07
Speaker 3: it to him. And you know he talked about Barry
5:11
Speaker 3: and Brown, but you know, they didn't feed the football
5:13
Speaker 3: of him at all after they brought him in from Kentucky.
5:18
Speaker 3: So I don't know what was in his head about
5:20
Speaker 3: what offensively he wanted to do last year, but you
5:25
Speaker 3: can bank it. Tradees is healthy. He gonna see a
5:29
Speaker 3: lot of footballs going his way. Man, if I was kipping, okay,
5:37
Speaker 3: we ain't reinventing the wheel here. Six foot seven plus
5:42
Speaker 3: tight end flanked out, Uh, You're gonna get a lot
5:45
Speaker 3: of footballs thrown your way.
5:47
Speaker 1: A lot, man, Can you Matt in the college game?
5:50
Speaker 1: Six foot seven in the red zone? I mean, Mike,
5:56
Speaker 1: that's that's tough. To defend and stop. I mean, it's
5:59
Speaker 1: tough in the NFL, but they can do it. In
6:02
Speaker 1: the college game, I'm not sure that you can.
6:06
Speaker 3: Well, especially the way Kiffin's gonna you know, because he
6:11
Speaker 3: tries to have you guard every inch of grass out
6:15
Speaker 3: on that field, and he's going to create some things
6:20
Speaker 3: that is going to give trade As a better opportunity
6:25
Speaker 3: to make more plays downfield, not only red zone and
6:30
Speaker 3: short yardage, but also over the middle, which you know,
6:34
Speaker 3: my thing is, and will you watch film today of
6:39
Speaker 3: college football, the biggest openings you have are right smack
6:44
Speaker 3: dab right down the middle because everybody's trying to cover
6:49
Speaker 3: the edges, they're trying to cover the chalk, you know,
6:52
Speaker 3: and so you got some big holes in the middle
6:55
Speaker 3: of the field. And that's I think part of you know,
7:00
Speaker 3: Lane's madness and how he coaches and how he tries
7:04
Speaker 3: to get these mismatches downfield with players and in situational football.
7:12
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think trade As is going to have
7:16
Speaker 3: a super year. He was one of three guys that
7:20
Speaker 3: he would constantly talk about, Well, one thing with coach Giffon,
7:24
Speaker 3: He's not one to throw a lot of bouquets out
7:27
Speaker 3: to players, but trade As was one of three. He
7:33
Speaker 3: would consistently talk about how good they were.
7:39
Speaker 1: Mike Ntilier WWL Radio, New Orleans on the Out of
7:42
Speaker 1: Bounds Show ESPN one oh five nine, The Zone your
7:46
Speaker 1: next video wall for your business or church powered by
7:48
Speaker 1: Sound and Communications. All right, Mike, what is the what's
7:53
Speaker 1: the best most talented unit on this twenty twenty six
7:58
Speaker 1: LSU football team as they get ready to host game
8:01
Speaker 1: day in Clemson.
8:03
Speaker 3: I think it's a linebacker with a healthy with Weeks
8:08
Speaker 3: and TJ. Dottery at linebacker and you know you got
8:14
Speaker 3: With Weeks his brother backing it up. I think that's
8:19
Speaker 3: that to me, is a very good unit at the
8:22
Speaker 3: linebacker position. We saw last year once Wit went down
8:28
Speaker 3: and he actually hurt that ankle in a in the
8:37
Speaker 3: game that they played. He broke it. It was late
8:42
Speaker 3: last year and it was in one of the bowl games.
8:45
Speaker 3: It was in the bowl game that LSU played, and
8:49
Speaker 3: he went down and they were limiting him in practice,
8:55
Speaker 3: and I get what Kelly was doing. He was trying
8:57
Speaker 3: to save him for games. But he didn't quite look
9:01
Speaker 3: the same. But even if he was seventy five percent,
9:05
Speaker 3: he was so good, you know, he was better than
9:08
Speaker 3: anything else they had, and he's healthy now ready to roll.
9:14
Speaker 3: We saw Dotttery and what he did at Old Miss
9:17
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, where you know he was
9:19
Speaker 3: a good football player for him. So I think the
9:21
Speaker 3: linebacker position is probably the strongest spot for them. The
9:31
Speaker 3: crazy thing I think on offense maybe at halfback because
9:35
Speaker 3: of Harlem Barry returning, Cayden Durham returning, and a young
9:42
Speaker 3: man that if I would have told you this when
9:45
Speaker 3: they signed him, most people wouldn't have believed it, but
9:48
Speaker 3: you know it was taking a lot of the reps
9:51
Speaker 3: late in the spring. Was Dylan Jones at running back,
9:55
Speaker 3: who they got from Wisconsin. He's built totally different than
9:59
Speaker 3: Harlem Our Cayden. He's a big thunder back. And you know,
10:05
Speaker 3: I do know one thing Kiffin likes that he likes
10:08
Speaker 3: the guy that can run hard between the tackles. Harlem
10:12
Speaker 3: tremendous foot speed, quickness, sees the whole gets through it.
10:16
Speaker 3: Cayden Durham has been a good player on this team.
10:20
Speaker 3: I'm shocked both of them return to LSU. I thought
10:24
Speaker 3: they would lose at least one, but both of them returned.
10:28
Speaker 3: And then Dylan's really, really played well in the spring,
10:31
Speaker 3: got a lot of accolades, and that's not coming from
10:34
Speaker 3: the press. That's coming from guys that are on the
10:38
Speaker 3: team and having an opportunity to talk to him, they
10:41
Speaker 3: were like, man, we don't know who this Dylan Jones was,
10:44
Speaker 3: but we sure know now and he gives us another dimension.
10:49
Speaker 3: So the running back corps of those three I think
10:53
Speaker 3: is a nice strength for this LSU team. Man, they
10:57
Speaker 3: got a ton of receivers. How that all shakes out
11:00
Speaker 3: remains to be seen and will it be kind of
11:03
Speaker 3: down in distance on how it works out. You know,
11:07
Speaker 3: one thing with l s U, they produced receivers, a
11:10
Speaker 3: ton of them throughout the years, and I think that
11:16
Speaker 3: eventually may end up being the strength of this team.
11:22
Speaker 3: But that that's got that's still a little bit of
11:26
Speaker 3: a work in progress because we haven't really seen them
11:29
Speaker 3: work out with Sam Levitt practice wise. Now, they've done
11:35
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff on their own, and Sam has
11:38
Speaker 3: sort of orchestrated that of working out on their own
11:43
Speaker 3: and they you know, they've even traveled on the road
11:47
Speaker 3: where I think it was seven or eight receivers along
11:51
Speaker 3: with Levitt that you know, they went out of state
11:54
Speaker 3: and and and worked for three days together. So it's
12:00
Speaker 3: going to be an interesting offense on how all this
12:02
Speaker 3: comes together and how quickly it comes together. The key
12:06
Speaker 3: there certainly is Levit. But so to answer your question,
12:10
Speaker 3: I think right now would be running back linebacker, but
12:13
Speaker 3: eventually I think it'll end up being wide receiver.
12:16
Speaker 2: All right.
12:17
Speaker 1: So Mike Dettillier on the Out of Bounds Show LSU
12:20
Speaker 1: hosts Game Day and Clemson and Dabo, and Clemson's coming
12:26
Speaker 1: off a really rough year where Dabo called out his
12:30
Speaker 1: fan base and was like fire me and had to
12:33
Speaker 1: recite his resume throughout the season and all kinds of
12:36
Speaker 1: It's like crazy pills over in Clemson. So we'll see
12:38
Speaker 1: what's happening here. Uh, Mike, do you think this is
12:41
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty big mismatch here as far as uh
12:47
Speaker 1: LSU and and and Clemson Labor Day weekend?
12:52
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it's a mismatch. Clemson's still got
12:56
Speaker 3: talent on that team. Uh. Year, I thought they were
13:01
Speaker 3: they were a bit dishoveled. Uh sometimes in crucial points
13:06
Speaker 3: of games that that there was a little kind of
13:12
Speaker 3: misdirection and not knowing exactly what to do. I can't
13:19
Speaker 3: say that I've seen a lot of that before at Clemson,
13:23
Speaker 3: but they seemed a little bit disheveled about how to
13:27
Speaker 3: handle some situations. And you know, you had a veteran
13:32
Speaker 3: quarterback and you had some pieces of the puzzle there.
13:36
Speaker 3: They they just didn't seem to be all on the
13:40
Speaker 3: same page. And a defense that was really heralded before
13:45
Speaker 3: the season started in play very good at times, and
13:51
Speaker 3: you're talking about you know, they got two guys up
13:54
Speaker 3: front that you know, ended up being really high. You
13:57
Speaker 3: have choices, you know, in Peter Woods and TJ. Park,
14:00
Speaker 3: and what happened there. It really never came together for them,
14:07
Speaker 3: and losing some of the games that they did, it
14:11
Speaker 3: was head scratching a little bit about how did this
14:15
Speaker 3: all fall apart for Clemson. So it's certainly a critical
14:20
Speaker 3: year because the fan base, Man, if there's some unhappy
14:26
Speaker 3: people there, it's in Clemson, because you know, you got
14:29
Speaker 3: them used to winning and winning big and I'm not
14:32
Speaker 3: just talking about no conference championship. I'm talking about national championship.
14:38
Speaker 3: And they're not real happy, and they're not real happy
14:41
Speaker 3: about getting lashed out at by the head coach. And
14:46
Speaker 3: remember Brian Kelly started doing the exact same thing here
14:50
Speaker 3: at LSU, lashing out at media, lashing out at fans,
14:56
Speaker 3: everything else. Man, when that starts to happen to a coach,
15:00
Speaker 3: I will be honest with you. You you can hear
15:03
Speaker 3: the saying pauling out of the hour gone, no doubt.
15:08
Speaker 2: No doubt.
15:09
Speaker 1: Mike Detillier on ESPN one oh five nine to the Zone.
15:13
Speaker 1: LSU will host game Day and Clemson Lavery Day weekend.
15:18
Speaker 1: Then they'll basically take a week off and beat somebody
15:21
Speaker 1: fifty six to zero LA Tech, and then they go
15:24
Speaker 1: to Ole Miss and the Old Miss will host game Day.
15:26
Speaker 1: This could be crazy, the spotlight and the uh, you know,
15:30
Speaker 1: media around Kiffen. You mentioned Kelly didn't do a good job.
15:36
Speaker 1: I mean he caught out the fan base kind of challenge.
15:38
Speaker 1: That's not what you do. I think Kiffen has handled
15:41
Speaker 1: it really well. Mike d the last seven months or
15:44
Speaker 1: so being in bat Rouge in that he knows the
15:48
Speaker 1: expectations are sky high. They went out and landed a
15:51
Speaker 1: really good transfer class and high school class and Levitt
15:54
Speaker 1: and so on. But he understands people think they're going
15:58
Speaker 1: to go twelve to zero and they're not. But I
16:00
Speaker 1: think he's been able to handle it well in his
16:03
Speaker 1: media hits.
16:04
Speaker 2: How do you see it, Mike d.
16:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the most part, he's done pretty well with it.
16:10
Speaker 3: He's played, he is saying, to their tune, okay, and
16:15
Speaker 3: when you're getting paid the amount of money he's getting paid, man,
16:18
Speaker 3: you learn how to sing it real quick. And so yeah,
16:23
Speaker 3: I think he's done a good job of playing to
16:25
Speaker 3: the to the fan base. He knows expectations here and
16:31
Speaker 3: even he talked about, you know, when he first went
16:34
Speaker 3: to Ole miss and there's no comparing what happened when
16:39
Speaker 3: he first hit Oxford and then him coming to Baton
16:43
Speaker 3: Rouge man rebuild what I mean, Uh, I don't want
16:49
Speaker 3: to hear that. You know, we're paying you all this money.
16:52
Speaker 3: We want you to do one thing when and no
16:58
Speaker 3: other stuff around it. Just win. And so it's it's
17:02
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of expectations on him and and
17:07
Speaker 3: how things go. But I think overall, what he's been
17:11
Speaker 3: able to do in getting players high school wise from
17:15
Speaker 3: the state of Louisiana to buy in and in the
17:19
Speaker 3: transfer portal that was his wheelhouse, I think most people
17:25
Speaker 3: thought that's where he would do very well. And I
17:28
Speaker 3: think you know, we haven't seen it on the field yet,
17:33
Speaker 3: but you know overall from the players he's been able
17:36
Speaker 3: to bring in, uh, that that's gonna be a strong
17:40
Speaker 3: point of his team. When you know, again, I brought
17:43
Speaker 3: up trade as the other two guys he he really
17:46
Speaker 3: talked tremendous amount about. One was Jordan Seaton, uh, the
17:51
Speaker 3: tackle from Colorado. The other one was ty Binifield from
17:55
Speaker 3: Boise State, the safety. He had spoken glowingly about both
18:02
Speaker 3: of those guys. So you can you get it that
18:08
Speaker 3: that was gonna be the strength of that football team.
18:11
Speaker 3: And man, you know, I just can't wait to see
18:15
Speaker 3: how it all pieces together. And the one thing with Lane,
18:21
Speaker 3: we all know, if he gets a chance to pounge you,
18:27
Speaker 3: he's gonna load the boot up. He's gonna load it
18:32
Speaker 3: and pounge you as much as he can, uh to
18:35
Speaker 3: prove a point that, hey, I'm not just here for
18:40
Speaker 3: the for the ball, crawfish and the barbecue shrimp.
18:48
Speaker 2: Had Mike Detillier w WL Radio.
18:50
Speaker 1: We got time for one more, Mike, d Have you
18:53
Speaker 1: had Eddie O on in the last week or two
18:57
Speaker 1: or so.
18:59
Speaker 3: No, haven't He's been. He's been busy with stuff. I
19:04
Speaker 3: think the last time was probably three weeks ago. We
19:07
Speaker 3: had him on and he you know, he's all fired
19:09
Speaker 3: up about coaching again. Man, he you know, I know
19:14
Speaker 3: from all the conversations we've had since he got fired
19:19
Speaker 3: at LSU, he talked about getting back and coach again.
19:23
Speaker 3: He had some opportunities a couple of north and hey,
19:29
Speaker 3: my blood's too fin get up there, no multi boy,
19:34
Speaker 3: you know so. But yeah, man, he's all fired up
19:38
Speaker 3: about it. Doing it in Louisiana, coming back and working
19:43
Speaker 3: with the defensive line. That's his wheelhouse as a guy.
19:47
Speaker 3: Was recruited and coached thirteen NFL first round picks, and
19:55
Speaker 3: he thinks he's got a couple more on this football team,
19:58
Speaker 3: younger guys. And I think that that was a big
20:01
Speaker 3: part of it too, that him being able to help plane,
20:06
Speaker 3: kip and navigate through some things here, you know, at
20:11
Speaker 3: l s uh, you know, and Lane's always talked about
20:14
Speaker 3: it's different here, and yet it is. It is different here,
20:18
Speaker 3: and I think Ed's been able to kind of help
20:20
Speaker 3: out in that manner and being able to he knows
20:23
Speaker 3: every high school coach around. Man. We stood on the
20:27
Speaker 3: sidelines for one of the championship games and and man,
20:33
Speaker 3: he was a magnet for it. I mean, all the
20:35
Speaker 3: coaches coming around, and I told us to Coach Will
20:40
Speaker 3: Haul at Tulane, they had a junior day where they
20:44
Speaker 3: brought in a whole bunch of juniors to tour the
20:48
Speaker 3: campus at Tulane and everything else. And you know, his
20:52
Speaker 3: son is the tight ends coach at Tulane, Edson and Tyler.
20:57
Speaker 3: And I never saw one picture of somebody take a
21:01
Speaker 3: picture with Will Hall that I saw posting online, but
21:05
Speaker 3: I must have seen about thirty of them with coach
21:08
Speaker 3: o if I weren't have known any bedos for he
21:12
Speaker 3: was the head coach at Lay. He laughed him, He's.
21:15
Speaker 4: Like, I can't turn them down they come over to there.
21:18
Speaker 4: I was like, no, I get it, I get it.
21:20
Speaker 4: I even brought it up to Coach Hall, who laughed
21:22
Speaker 4: and he was like, man, anytime he wants to come
21:25
Speaker 4: on this sideline, he's he's welcome to do it. But yeah,
21:31
Speaker 4: it was funny to see all those pictures and these kids.
21:34
Speaker 4: They treat him like he's some kind of rock star,
