• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Had been, you know, basically told that he would be
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was working
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: on his speech. He came on on a Monday night
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: with us and was talking about I'm already working on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the speech, and so I knew it would be powerful
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and emotional. And you know, the guys meant so much
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to the community, not only as a football player, but
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: for so many other things He's done for the community,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: getting involved in a number of businesses, getting involved in
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: so many charity events in this area. It was an
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: emotional time for people here who saw not just what
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: he did for the football team, but what he did
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for the community. You know, some people, they they elect
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: not to you know, they do their time there as
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: as a player and that sort of thing. But Drew
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: was a lot more than that. Always was about the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: community and trying to help out in so many different ways.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And he was able to help rebuild this area after
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know, Hurricane Katrina. And I think you saw his
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: emotions and I think the emotion right back to him
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: for what he did for this area. The love for
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this region, the Saints, everything else was on full display.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And it didn't surprise me one bit. Did a fantastic
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: job he did.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It was mighty. It was a spectacular speech. And that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: doesn't surprise me that he prepped for it for basically
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: six months. I just thought.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Everything he preps for everything he does, and so just
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you know how he's his makeup, he is as a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: human being, and he you know, he's always ready no
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: matter what, He's ready to rule.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Mike d Mike Detilier ww L Radio, New Orleans. He
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: joins us on Out of Bounds. Drew Brees goes into
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. How about the fact
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: that he was like twenty seven years old, Mike, when
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: he walks in to the blank show that New Orleans
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: is trying to get back and get going, and at
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: that age he has the understanding and the leadership ability
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and intangibles to jump right in, like you said, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: not just be QB one for the New Orleans Saints,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: but when he could do everything he could to be
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a positive impact on the community. We forget he was
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: almost a baby when he walked into New Orleans, right,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: he was a.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Young man, And well he always teases about you guys
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: are getting older on me. You know, he is too
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but you know he had on doctor
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Tim Finny yesterday who was the Saints team doctor. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it was really doctor Finnie that gave the Saints the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: two thumbs up to sign him, because remember that that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was a lot of hoopla because of what happened in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Miami when he went there and he funked a physical
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: which you would have never passed anywhere. He was just
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: weeks out of surgery and doctor Finnie told me yesterday
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: about going through all the details of the surgery and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: working with doctor James Andrews on making sure that they
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: had a shot here that he could come back from it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And he said the one thing that really he said,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the surgery went well, and even though it was unprecedented
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: at that time, the one thing he had done was
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of research on Drew and it was about
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: his determination, and he said, I knew if anybody had
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a shot, it was true. And so he gave the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Saints the two thumbs up to sign him. I think
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: about the fact that he grew up in Texas living
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: none of the Texas schools recruited him. He grew up
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a Texas A and m fan. They didn't offer him.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: He goes to Purdue and puts up all these unbelievable numbers,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: still doesn't get picked in the first round. He was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the second round pick when Greg Williams was here as
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the defensive cour ordinative for the Saints. Him and I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: talked for a while. He made the comment of me
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that I'd still have my damn job in Buffalo for
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to pick Drew Brees. He said, I had a hard
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: headed general manager that didn't want to pick him, didn't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: feel maybe he had all the attributes that we're looking for.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He's he's beat the odds everywhere, you know, and and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it was right place, right time, right coach, right system
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: with him. Okay, he was the right guy for Sean
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Payton in that offense and it all worked out. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we look back on things that we
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: do and it doesn't work out and we wonder why,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and it's, uh, you know, maybe the man upstairs doesn't
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: feelers do it's right for you and he moves you on.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But for Drew, he you know, he's never discouraged about
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: things that go wrong with him. Never, He just keeps
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: plodding along. And I think his determination and his love
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: for the game is a big part of you know
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: who he is and how he got to this point.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: He's a coaching now his sons. He's got one son
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: who's a quarterback, the others are receivers. So it's like,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened. But you know, he's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: just a fantastic guy. And I think his motivational skills.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I think yesterday he was at Purdue giving a motivational
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: talk to the Parlamica football team.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: They want to big. For our listeners, this is where
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Mike's going. Drew Brees won a high school state championship
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: at South Lake, which really put them on the map.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Now we talk about that program all the time. We
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: didn't back in nineteen ninety seven. Then he goes to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: who hasn't won but like four seasons in the last
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: sixty years, and he and Joe Tailler win a Big
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Ten championship. And then he goes to New Orleans who
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: had never really won, as Mike and y'all know, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: they won a Lombardi Trophy and go to multiple NFC
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: championship game. He's one of the biggest winners in North
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: American sports. It's so.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Mike Attilier w WL Radio TV, New Orleans. He joins
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: us on one oh five nine to the zone. ESPN, Mike,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I want to switch gears. Lane Kiffen is raving about
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: three freshmen among others, but he's making a great point
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: in a day and age where freshmen don't.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Play along with Lamar Brown, a freshman defensive lineman, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I think it was a big part of why coach
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: oseronk got hard. I think there was no doubt that
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: he wanted somebody to help mentor these young guys, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he knew he needed help from them as a true freshman,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: because that's the one area we've talked about that they
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot of depth. I think about Richard
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Anderson and laugh all the time about it because you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he's from Edna Carr. He's six two and a half.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: He probably played last year in the three forty five range.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a wide load. And so he wins
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Louisiana Player of the Year and man, he comes out
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: all dressed stuff and three piece suit and everything, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: his coach Bryce Brown makes the comment, I didn't think
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: they could, you know, make a suit that big, because
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that's just a huge band. He said, they got a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: lot of thread on him suit. But you know, he's
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the guy that I I know even before he got hard,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he had worked with Coach Oh privately, and Oh had
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: told me he is like eighty boy. He reminds me
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of a young Cortez Kennedy. Wow, because he coached Cortes
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: at Miami Flora And he says, the closest thing I've
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: seen to Cortes as a coach for me. And then
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Deuce Gerald's is a six foot and a half two
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pound defensive tackle. Totally different type, built,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: super quick off the snap. We'll see how well he
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: handles up, you know, in a much bigger lead. But man,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: he's been really impressive. And then Lamar Brown, number one
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: raty to recruit in the state of Louisiana, number one
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: rated defensive lineman. I made a call with him a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: couple of years back. He comes to one of the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: camps and I told him, I said, you could be
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a starting offensive lineman in college football today. He was like, oh, no, no, no, Coach,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I won't play defensive end. I took a good look
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: at him. He weighed in like two hundred eighty two
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: pounds that day, like man, you two hundred eighty two
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: pounds and they ain't a lot of defensive ends two
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: hundred eighty two pounds today, and he was like a nobody,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I will I want to play defensive end. Great athlete,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: just just tremendous athlete. And I still feel that way
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: today that he could he could be a starting offensive lineman.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: He's if he if that's what he wanted to do.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: So he's getting them ready and I think they'll see
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know about starting time, but I think they'll
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: see extensive playing time. And you know, for the Tigers
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: this year, they have to because they're really paper then
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: up front along the defensive line. And O's also brought
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: up to me Tritton Henderson, who's from Florida as an
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: edge rusher, as a guy that he really likes h
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and he also is a true freshman. So we'll see
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: how all that turns out. And you're right, Bough, absolutely right.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Very few guys as true freshmen can just step in
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and and make that type of impact. So every once
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: in a while you find one. You know, Dylan Stewart
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: from South Carolina a few years back, true freshman, he
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: made an impact. But we'll see what happens up front
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: with him. But they're well coached. Uh uh, you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they they've got people that that can help develop them.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And most of the time is the physical part of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the game. Because you jump from high school to college,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it's a totally different game, especially in the SEC. You know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: there's no homecoming games here.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: There's Mike Attillier talking l s U football, so it's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: it's Lamar Brown and Richard Anderson and Deuce Gerald's and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: they were able to go and maybe Kirby and them
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: didn't like his size. I don't know. He's still highly recruited.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But Deuce Gerald's from Swanne, Georgia, and Lane and Baker
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and whoever were able to go in and grab him. Mike,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: did that surprise you because Kirby usually can get just
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: about who he wants in the state of Georgia.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I knew they were in the mix, but LSU
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: was able to pull it out at the end with
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Duce and he came in early. He was a midterm guy,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and in the spring, the upper classmen, the offensive lineman
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: all said, Deuce Gerald, where did he come from? Don't
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: look like no freshmen to me? And uh, And he
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: made a really really quick impact on this team. So
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you know, you never know in recruiting and also to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, money gets involved. But for most
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of these young men too, they want to play right away,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: right you know, they want to get in there. And
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I think maybe that was the caveats. You had an
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: opportunity to play right away. The competition he had to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: be it wasn't a long list, and so I think
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that played a part in Richard Anderson. He could have
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: went anywhere. Same thing with Lambardy. I mean, both of them,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: they could have went anywhere they wanted. But I knew
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Richard would have to lose some weight and I think
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: he's down. He's in the three twenty range now and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: so he's got i'm gonna say, twenty pounds off of him.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: When I saw him back in January, you know, he
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: was all of three forty five. He's a huge man.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Uh young man, but he's a huge man. And when
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it's younger, it's easier for you to get that weight
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: off than it is when you get a little bit older.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: In the night, but man, he is. He was a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: monster for the best program in Louisiana and Edna Carr,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: he was a monster player for them. Ain't nobody running
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that dem I mean, he shut that down real quick.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And uh, it's also his ability to run the field
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: for a big man, which a lot of times guys
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: can stop to run, you know, guard center guard. But
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: for him, he had the ability to chase you down.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And they ain't nothing scared in a three hundred and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: forty pound man chasing down one hundred and eighty pound
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: back in the backfield.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Good grief. Mike Detilier's talking about this LSU freshman defensive
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: line class that both Ole Miss Mississippi State will face
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: and Clemson will get week one, Like what will I mean, Mike?
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: You could kind of frame it up like Mike Ntillier
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: by the way WWL Radio New Orleans on the show, Mike,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: you could, I mean, whether or not LSU goes to
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the College Football play they may not be the main
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: but they'll be a piece of the puzzle. If you
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: can get some pretty good production out of these three
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: in whatever shape, form or fashion, maybe the reason why
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: or if you don't, maybe the reason why they do
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: or don't go to the college football playoff.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You agree, Yeah, I agree, it's a good point. And
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: if I'm Clemson. I don't know about the others. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I think the one thing with Oh He's he's really
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: preached is about rotation. That he constantly wants to rotate
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: eight to nine defensive linemen. His belief is that I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: want my number one unit fresh for the final five
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: minutes of a game, because he said, you know, in
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: today's world where it's you know, kind of decided one
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: score or not, I want my top unit on the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: field defensive line wise, fresh for the final five minutes
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of a game.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And that that that makes sense. Mike Detillier on the show,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Mike d speaking of your friend ad oseron who's now
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: on Lane Kippin's staff. Did you see where he's doing
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: cameos now for people?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing he does surprises me to day. Be honestly, nothing
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: he does surprises me. And so yeah, he's he's something
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: else with that, But he's almost like the celebrity coach. Yeah,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you know, this is unreal for guy and varied success
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: as a head coach, but he's become such a personality, sure,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and he can meet somebody and my memory
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is really good. I'm not quite as good with names
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of people as as he is where I can remember
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: stuff differently. If he meets somebody and meets their family
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and doesn't see him for ten years, he could tell
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: you all about him. It's amazing how his mind works
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: with that. And so he was approached a couple of
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: years back about it a by doing this and turned
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: it down. And then he did not know until what
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a little over a month ago that he was going
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to be on the staff at LSU.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Why is that? Me and Lanter buds? But what what?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Why did it take so long?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You don't have no idea of exactly why that it
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: took so long for that to come together. But I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: knew coming out of Spring. I've been told by different
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: people at LSU that he was concerned a little bit
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of having to play all these young defensive linemen and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that he was going to push to have coach Will
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: come on and help mentor these young defensive linemen. And
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: he goes on vacation to Cabo, and he never told
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: me he was headed there, but agreed to do the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: show with me. And when my producer calls him, he's like,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Coach O just wants you to know that he's in Cabo, Mexico.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Like what the hell is he doing this show with before?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: So that's how we started. He said, because you asked me,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I'm doing it. I'm okay, And I let him ramble
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: on and he went twenty six minutes doing the show.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He just rambled on. Ask him a question and he'd go.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: He'd run with it and didn't tell me that anything
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: was going on. And the following week, the Tuesday night,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I got tipped off that he was headed to LSU
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and they made the announcement Wednesday night. Okay, you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: just the way he is, that's the count of the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: way ed ed road with everything, and I'm grateful if
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I've ever asked him, hey, you want to come on?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Hey what time? Just let me know, you know, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: he's ready to go, and you can ask ready
