  Speaker 2: We'll get to it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: First off, we'll get to the morning that Jacob Hesser
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: and Matt Feleinn had. I'm sure that'll be an interesting one.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Our guy Moose got a phone call from him going
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: through it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I got a phone call from him. Oh, is he
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: just calling the whole entire building?
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I called him because he was telling me he couldn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: get internet. And I called him and I said, hey,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: like we got the camera, we got the audio, Like
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: we can do it. And he was like, they already
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: called me and told me to pack up because he's
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: here anyways.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Which I get.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: You don't want to start a show uninvited, quote unquote,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: and then seven thirty everybody shows up. I was like,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: how did you get in? I totally understand that, but
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, not the best start to the morning.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: How this man called me this morning was like the
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: camera won't turn on. I don't know how to like
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: the camera's not turning on. I was like, I don't know.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I haven't had that issue yet. And then he facetimes
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: me and showed me what he was doing, and he
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: was hitting the record button and I said, well, first
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: of all, that's not the power button.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You gotta turn it on.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: He said, where is the power button? I said, right
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: there where the power symbol.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Is to two big things about cameras, turn turn them on.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Lyn's cap. Yeah, those are kind of there's a kind
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: of the two mazing there two things.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: The power is like very clearly labeled too.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Well, well we'll get that figured out. But uh yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I had to wake up at four thirty. He just
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: turned around and went home.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: So you better take a nap.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Look, you know, that's that's what happens. Sometimes you get
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: your wires crossed. But uh, Elandra, how we feel in
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: this morning?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Great? I think I whooped Pollend's butt.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I here, you're good.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I gave a can a butt whip.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You're good?
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, o TV.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: That's patented, by the way, anybody looking to steal that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: patented a TV butt whip created by Lundra Villario. So
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: she gets most of the royalties. Me and Matt get
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: like two percent of each, just because we kind of
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: supported her.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, but.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I uh so I'm selling my truck today.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Actually, oh yeah, and uh.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I have had to wash it three times because people
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: keep coming to look at it to try to buy it,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and every time I wash it, Uh, the pollen falls
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: right back on it. So uh, not great there, not
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: not great at all. I wanted to start this with
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: free agency, but we'll wait for Jake and Matt to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: do all that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Some big stuff going on there.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: We got a baseball game tonight and I wanted to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: get to it here because I I don't know how
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: much more in the rest of the show we're going
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: to get to. The Tigers will take on Creighton. This
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: is not a good Creighton team. Teams are batting three
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: hundred against what they do so so LSU actually uses
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: their field a lot. Dan Cannavery told me this yesterday.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: LSU uses their field a lot to practice whenever they
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: go to the World Series. So big connection there between uh, Creighton,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the Blue Jays, and the Tigers. But it's one of
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: those games, right that you have to hit. I mean,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: this has to be a Friday night Sacramento State game. Right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I mean this has to be one of the ones
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: where you get out of your slump, because like, yes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: there's one or two guys in a slump, the whole
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: damn lineup is in a slump.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I mean that that's something we know, uh for sure.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you've watched any of these games, your
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: pitching is going to be fine.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: We know that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, your pitching really hasn't been the problem in
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: most of your losses. I mean, you've had one or
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: two bad outings, but for the most part, it's been there.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: It's been the hitting. Elandro is there like maybe.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: A sob in the line like somebody want to see
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: somebody want to take out like tonight, just to get
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: things going against Creighton.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: What we gotta do?
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: So I don't know why, but I just really believe
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: in Well, first of all, I think you need to
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: keep Trent Carroway in the lineup, Like I you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Can't not have to make sense.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that that is one thing that I would love
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: to ask Jay about because I don't really get that one,
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: just because I feel like he's been pretty consistent in
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: the lineup when he's up there and I would like
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: this might be a hot take, but I would like
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: to see more of Omar Serna because I feel like
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: if you give him more reps, he does great behind
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: the plate, or I feel like behind the plate is
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: kind of you can do one or the other, like defensively,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: but I feel like if he's in the lineup more
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: often offensively, he can get hot.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: He's one of those that can get hot.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I think he has the highest exit velocity on the
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: team right now. So Omar Serna is somebody else that
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: I would like to see a little bit more of,
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: But you try. The care away thing is just puzzling
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: to me.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: You and I were talking about it a little bit
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: after the show off air yesterday. Did we overestimate the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: catcher position at LSU coming into the season, Because like
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: everybody's like, Oh, you have Aaron Beady, he's going to
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: take the next step, and you have Omar Cerna coming
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: in that everybody was super hyped about.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Aaron bead struggled offensively and defensively.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: She just mentioned no more SNA and it's like, yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that's certainly an option. And then it's like he's betten
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: two hundred right now. Now it's to her point, like
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: with more wraps. Sure, but it's like, did we kind
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of overvalue that spot because coming in I felt really
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: good about the catcher position. Right now it's kind of
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: one of your biggest weaknesses. So that's something certainly to
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: keep an eye out on for tonight.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Six point thirty.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: First pitch out at the box, lsu versus Creighton excited
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: to just move this thing in the right direction. This
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: is your last tune up game, this is it our
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: sec play, and you're on the road right at Vanderbilt.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, at Vandy. Also, I just a side note.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: I did the Jay Johnson Show last night and he
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: was talking about, like, we all want Chris Stanfield back,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: right He went full swing yesterday for the first time,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: and he said that we're probably gonna start seeing him
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: like in a like a little bit, just kind of
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: working his way back a little bit.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: And how do you need him?
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Jay was just very much like, stick with this team
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: because you know, it's.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: A long season.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: And I I said this yesterday and I still kind
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: of believe in this team. I think we have the
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: right pieces, just kind of cold right now, and that's
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: just kind of how baseball is sometimes it is a
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: little alarming.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: That they're all cold, But I don't know.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: I don't want to fully give up on them, but I,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: like I said yesterday, it's hard to say anything about positive,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: anything positive until they do something positive.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: But I believe they will at some point.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Like we were talking about it yesterday, it's funny, like
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: you could see unless you fans want to panic, Yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: but they know better with j Johnson, And like what
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: was brought up yesterday, Oh, this is the worst record
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: you've had before conference play since two thousand and seven,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: which is before like Manary's first year here essentially. But
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: people need to realize that team went on a little
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: bit of a run, they made a regional and Jay
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Johnson squad this year is a heck of a lot
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: more talented than that twenty and seven team. So you're
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: not out of it. You haven't even started SEC play yet.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: When was it it was it was twenty four in
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: between the two Natties. Remember you started like three and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: twelve an SEC play, You made a regional, almost won it,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: probably should have won it, honestly, and you pitch away. Yeah,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and you would have hosted a super regional in bat
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Rouge if you win that series and then hell you
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: got the advantage, maybe you're right back into Omaha. Like
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: that team. I think it was three and twelve that
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: they started an SEC play. Think you're gonna be fine?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Is this team gonna win a Natty?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: It's way too early in the season. But they're a
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: heck of a lot better than they're playing now. Like
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to your point, I don't like I'm all being cold
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: at the same time. The good news is maybe they
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: all get out of their slump at the same time.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, it can't be a whole lot worse. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: about Chris Stanfield, it was. It was the Sunday game.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: A ball goes over Mason Brawn's head and Mason Brown
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: was pretty deep in the outfield. Mason Brown's more of
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: a first baseman, Like I understand he could play both,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: but coming out of high school, Mason Brown was a
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: number one first baseman in the country. Like, he's a
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: lot more comfortable there. Stanfield makes that play. If he does,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: who knows how far William Schmid actually goes in that
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: game because he keeps his pitch count a lot lower.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: There was a couple throwing errors in that game. That
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: helps Gavin Gidrey out a little bit. You had opportunities
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: to win that game and you just didn't do it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I think tonight hopefully LSU turns to this thing around
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: now hand up. I was the one that was like,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, the ULL pitching staff's really good, but they've
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: given up fourteen homers in twelve games. You're gonna turn
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: this thing around. And it didn't happen last week.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: But it's okay. I said we were gonna sweep Sacramento State.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Look, look a lot of a lot of hot baseball
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: takes this week apparently.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, you should have swept Sacramento State to be fair.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Right, and you should like it's it's it's not hot takes.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: It's just well they were wrong back of it. But
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: they SAYND did good at the time. That's what matters
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the most. Okay again, Taylor Sharp here a Laandravilla Reale.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: If you don't hear Jake and Matt they are en route.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: They had to go to U Club for an early
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: morning golf tournament that no, it's not that far did
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: not occur. So they're on the way that will be
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: here next five or ten minutes or so. So, uh,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: what we'll do now, We'll take a break. Hopefully they
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: get here during break. If not, we'll get this show started.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: On the other side, we'll talk to the Saints Free agency. Next,
• 10:38

  Speaker 6: the understanding that we would be live from U Club.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: For a little golf attorney. Well, we get there and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm walking this dark in the parking lot, and I'm
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: walking around trying to figure out where I'm going. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: walk up to the main clubhouse. No one's there. Everyone's
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: looking at me. Funny.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: I look outside, like trying to look towards the eighteenth
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Green to like see if I can see anything, and all,
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden, I hear this faint voice just
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: yelling in the distance.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It was Muso Muso from the pro shop little outhouse.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: It's like fifty sixty yards away from the main pro shop.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I hear him.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, that's exactly where I need to go. Well,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: he's yelling at this early in the morning, but he's
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: yelling some sweet nothing.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't matter how early it is.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Right, if it wasn't for his yelling, I wouldn't have
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: found him. And then I got the call. I was like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: I was looked around. There was no golf carts lined up.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Usually in a golf tournament there's a lineup of golf carts. Well,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: not this one. This wasn't happening. Not their fault, Not
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: their fault.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: No. Typically when we do that tournament, the tournament's still
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: at eleven thirty. We just do the the show and
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: then people start showing up as like the last hour
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of the show, getting everything ready, So I don't think

• 17:30
  Speaker 2: bad that we weren't here.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Well, my my Ron Burgundy was intentional. It was wondering
• 17:36

  Speaker 2: he's gonna be here at the other days. I gotta
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: warm up. I'm definitely not gonna be here on this
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: one day. Prep.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: You got to go get accustomed because you're traveling, right.
• 19:18

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I got three hours work Monday and then you're done.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, work Monday, maybe half day. Acclimated to that climate.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I tell you, I get you the time change. You know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I understand that it's at the end of the side
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: of the border. It's wait, hold on, it's at the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: end of this month. Yeah, yeah, dude, that might be
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: at league meetings the end of this month. I don't
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: even know what that means, owner's meetings NFL. All right,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: where that all the hair coaches take the picture together.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: You've seen that, we've you've broken it down before. I
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: don't really think you'd need to go to that. If
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I'm being completely honest with you, what was that because
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you were just with all the coaches talk about repetitive.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Now now see owners though they were there too, not
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: all of them. In fact, I don't think like, yeah,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: some owners were there. Jerry was definitely there. We didn't
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: see them though. He sent his son Stephen Jones. He's
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: just a co owner. It was a good combo.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: What percentage do you think Steven owns right now?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Whatever Jerry allows, Yeah, it's like his weekly allowance. If
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: he's good, he gets a one percent more.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Every time he gets a good pick ride in the
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: draft he gets a half percent. Well, if it was
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: up to Landra, he'd have one hundred percent right.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Now, right, He survived my bold prediction.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Who did Jerry he was gonna pass away?
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, which, okay, I don't know if I was going
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: to bring this up.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: But when was it? Fried? When did lou Holtz die?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Thursday? And we talked about it, Freda.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: So he died Thursday, right Thursday morning, before the news
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: broke that he died. I was upstairs in Chris Marler's
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: office and he said something about lou Holtz, and I said,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: isn't he dead? He had not yet died, oh Man,
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Literally two hours later.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Lou Holtz has passed away.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Oh man, so Jerry really survived, So like, yeah, really.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: The grim Reaper.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Are you going to get in trouble for this maybe?
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: And then you know how we did the baby picture thing,
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: the trend with the baby picture and it was like,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: this is who you're listening to on one of four
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: five escare or whatever. So he sent me one and
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: it was like my baby picture and it was like,
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: this is who killed Lou Holtz.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Jesus teets.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I didn't do it, guys.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: The man was just trying to pop off these I just.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Thought that I had already seen were news that he did.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: You were here when we played his newspapers.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the newspaper name blew my mind.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, incredible.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: In fairness to her, I called my dad Thursday and
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, Lou Holds died, and my dad goes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I thought I saw that he got like five years ago.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: I swore I saw reports like not that long.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: So he actually he actually had the exact same responses you.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm gonna back y'all up.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: You thought he did too.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been surprised if I found that he
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: was all right, A right.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I text my dad. I said, hey, we all
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: passed away, and he goes, oh, that's terrible. And then
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I got another text and he's like, I feel like.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: This already happened. Yeah, all right, guys are insensitive. So
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: here's what we're gonna do. All right, because we're a
• 22:42

  Speaker 2: All right? Or that could have been a love worse
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: he could have been. Actually yeah, yeah, shout out to uh.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints made a big splash yesterday in
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: free agency, so look shout out to Mickey Loomis as
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: much as much as like when he doesn't make moves,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: like we give him a hard time, like you gotta
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: get him some praise for what he did yesterday, certainly,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: and you know you're sit situation in the interior of
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: your offensive line is bad when like collectively the entire
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: fan base celebrates the hell out of you signing a
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: guard like they you know what I'm saying, Like typically
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: like you'll sign a guard and a casual fans not
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: gonna know who a guard is and be like, oh,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: we got signed a guard. The news came across the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: wire that the Saints signed David Edwards from Buffalo, and
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: it was the biggest celebration on social media for the
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Saints in and offseason in a long time. Yeah, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: think they probably realized that we weren't going to take
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: him at the eighth pick. Now, right, we've taken that
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: decision out of his hands. Now we take him. But
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: that's what happens.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: When you have a season of really poor interior offensive
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: line plays and so you sign somebody that is.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Proven to be a really good place. He's the best
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: guard on the free agent market this year. How many
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: times have we come on here and talk about the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus grades for season Ruiz or whoever was
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: playing the other guard. This was somebody that graded it
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: out for the entire year at seventy four percent. Like
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: if they would have gotten that grade in any game,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: we would have been excited. He had games where he
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: graded out in the nineties. When you look at what
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: he was able to do this season, all right, So
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: he was in the eighty third percentile and pass blocking
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: win rate in the eighty six percent out and run
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: block win rate. So he's not a one trick pony either.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: This is an outstanding signing by the New Orleans Saints.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: And Edwards is only twenty nine years old, just going
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to turn twenty nine like this month. This is still
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: a young football player. You got him at just over
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars per year, which that feels like a
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: pretty good bargain considering he was the best guard on
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the free agent market four years sixty one million dollars
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: and you had to have it, like, you had to
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: have help in the interior of your offensive line. It
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: was poor at best a year ago and really in
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years. So I think this is
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: a great move. It really solidifies what you've done at
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: tackle with your two young tackles. You love Eric McCoy.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: If he can stay healthy, now you have an offensive
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: line that can protect a young quarterback and can also
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: help in the run game, right, because, oh yeah, you
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: made a big signing in the run game as well.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: You bring etn Over from Jacksonville. That's a big get.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't just in pass protection. You needed help
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: in the run game and protecting your quarterback. And so
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: you go get a running back that we'll get to.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: But as you can tell, we're pretty excited about the
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: guard signing here because of how poor it was a
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: year ago.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you talk about the money too. I mean
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: you kind of perks people's ears up when you say
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: that a guard interior offensive lineman getting fifteen is quite
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: the deal. And I look up the you know, the
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: top five interior offensive linemen are getting twenty three and
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: a half, twenty one, twenty and they hover around that
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: twenty million dollars a year mark. So for the Saints,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: and of course they have to secure that offensive line
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: because you going into your second year with your offensive
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: minded head coach. You're going into your second year with
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: your you know, hopefully franchised quarterback for a long long time,
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: and when you try to install offense, when you're trying
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: to do different things, you have to have good offensive
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: line play or it really takes down what you can
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: try to do as an offensive play caller, as an
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: offensive coordinator, installing plays if you have to, if you
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: have to all it's kind of like running a defense
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: when you have bad corners.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: It's like what do I call here?
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: There's so there's a certain amount of plays I can't
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: call defensively in certain situations because I don't trust my corners.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: It's the same way of like developing or building a
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: game plan.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: There's only there's so many there's there's I got all
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: these plays that I want to put in, but like
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: I'm so worried about my offensive line play, I can't
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: do it. So if you secure that, not only do
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: you do you help the players on the field, do
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: you help your quarterback, you're running back, you help everybody,
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: but you help your offensive designers, you help your your
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: new head coach design more plays, you help your offensive coordinate,
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: your play callege. You help all of that be better.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: So hopefully this continues. This is not just like one
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: like let's get some more. Yeah, we need more. And
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: I'm sure the offensive line is going to be a
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: position that they address in the draft as well.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Now what kind of.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Immediate need can can that have a kind of guy
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: in the draft, because I don't We're hoping it's not
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: a first or second rounder, but maybe mid rounds you
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: take somebody else.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: But obviously David Edward is going to make an immediate
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: positive impact on that offensive line.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: And he is going to be blocking for your new
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: running back. Travis dtn JR. Het In is somebody that
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: is from Louisiana and so a lot of us have
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: watched him play when he was in high school and
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: very talented family, great bloodline there obviously with his brother
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Trevor ETM. But this is a player that really raised
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: his level of play a year ago. He did it
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: on the ground and through the air. He also did
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: it in pass protection. I thought he was really good
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: in pass protection, which look, I love AK, but he's
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: never been great in pass protection. It's always kind of
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: been the part of his game that was probably the
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: one that stood out the most as far as needed improvement.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Travistn is somebody that pretty good. So he's going to
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: give me an upgrade there. I don't. Look what happens
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: with Ak, We'll see. I don't obviously, I don't expect
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: both these players to be on team. If they are
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: and the Saints have a plan, okay, but you upgraded
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: at the running back position. This is somebody that was
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: thriving a year ago. He was above all projections last
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: year over thirty five catches. I think he had six
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: receiving touchdowns. And you don't pay look running back money
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: is It's funny because a lot of people like don't
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: like throwing money at running backs. He's like, oh, you
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: can get one in the fourth round, get you that production.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: The Saints have tried that a couple of times. They
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: needed to go make a splash at the running back position.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: You had to run the football better. You had to
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: protect the quarterback better at the running back position. You
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: signing for four years.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Fifteen millionaire, you're paying more for your guard than you're
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: running back.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's under the franchise tag number for running backs.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: That's like around fourteen and some change. Right.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: Damn, I didn't realize that's under the franchise tag amount,
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: which is that's a heck of a deal. Yeah, I
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: forgot that's you know, he's certainly a veteran, but certainly
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: he's still on his prime. He's one of the top
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: certainly a good fantasy pick, certainly a top touchdown getting
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: like he's a touchdown getter, smells the end zone, has
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: been such a great player for a long time.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wonder how much that played in the
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: decision making for him a lot, because I saw him talk.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I assume that this team that he's wearing the uniform
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: on was trying to get him back, yeah, because he
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: was an important piece to their to their offensive success
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: this year.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: And we'll see what happened with the Saints backfield as
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: far as who they keep, who they let go, who
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: they try to move on from. But obviously, when you
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: signed Travis etn to. You know, fifty plus million dollar contract.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: He is going to be the guy, but you needed
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: to upgrade. Now. If you do keep Alvin Kamara and
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: you come up with the right game plan, I mean
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: AK can be deadly in the passing game. Like, there's
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: ways to keep both of them. We don't know what
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: they're going to do, but this is somebody. Because the
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Saints ranked twenty third in run block win rate and
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: thirtieth in yards before contact per carry last season, so
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: you had to improve the running back position and the
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: guys in front of the running back and you did
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: that yesterday. And it certainly feels as if this is.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: This is a signing to replace Alvin Kamara. It certainly
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: feels that way. There's clearly a changing of the guard
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: with the New Orleans Saints. They have made a move.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: You see it with the two veterans on defense. What's
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: happened with them and what is happening and that's that
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: same guy on offense as Alvin Kamar been there a
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: long time, been very loyal, has loved it, has been
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: loved and I'm sure the Saints won him there forever
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: and want to retire as a Saint. But like they
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: also probably realized that we kind of lost his fastball
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: when it comes so the things that he used to
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: do Now, is he still good compared to a lot
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: of people, Yeah, he is, but he's not the same
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: Alvin Kamara that he once was. So it certainly feels
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: like a guy that has maybe a little extra speed
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: and a step it can do, can do the things
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: that Kamara used to do for you. Yeah, but maybe
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: Kamara does. Maybe he proves wrong, maybe there's something maybe
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: he's maybe he was working through ankle stuff or foots
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: like whatever it was this past year that we've never
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: really heard about. You never really know how the body's feeling.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Never really know how an off season is going to
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: treat a player. Maybe he has maybe changes something in
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: the off season it feels great the next year.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: You just never really know.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: Well, he would love to have Alan Kamara back now
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: with this move, does he want to be back?
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: He's kind of said he wants to stay here forever,
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: like he's he's signed team friendly deals and even at
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: a point where I was screaming like go somewhere else,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: like if you love something, said it free. Yeah, I
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: don't know. We'll see, but it certainly feels like that
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: it's a move to replace. I don't know, how do
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: you feel about Etn his gate?
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: His gate's pretty good. I know there's something that questioned
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: his gate back in high school recruiting.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe coach at l L s U maybe questioned
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: his gate. Didn't recruit him as hard as they should.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Have, said they had a bad gate, bad game. Didn't
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: like his gate in high school. Yeah, I thought it
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: was pretty good. The gate's fine. Yeah, thirteen million dollars
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: a year now to play running back. Yeah, decent gate. Anyway,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Just you're not following. That's what l she thought of him.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Well, keep seeing, people say, keep seeing be et and
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: he has a lot of carries. He's been like Traves.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Etn has missed two games total in four years of
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: being in the NFL at the running back position.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: He's been remarkably healthy.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: So all these all this talk about, oh he's got
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: all this tread on the tires, not all treads equal.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, he has been very, very healthy. Yeah, I
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: think it's a good move. I think the Saints made
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a couple of great moves. Now that the Saints did
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: lose some players in free agency as well. So we'll
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: step away and when we come back, we'll give you
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: all the guys that aren't going to be in a
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Saints uniform moving forward, including well one of your absolute favorites,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: and we'll have that for you when we jump back
• 37:39

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I said that guy was just you know, his
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: thighs were too white. Yeah, you can handle it anymore.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Put I told you we got these U line studio lights.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I will say, whenever we get our new building, I'm
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: not going to care really a lot about what goes on,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: what happens, but I want to be the one that
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: throws these away. I want to be the one that
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: throws these eighteen ninety eight studio lights away. They're like,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: this is what they had like in plays in the
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: eighteen hundreds, and it puts out the same amount of
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: heat as it did then as well.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: When they were tearing down an old elementary school thirty
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: five years ago.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: They took us from the theater room. Yes they did,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Yes they did. Hey, these golden things they really accentuate
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: our shadows too. Shadow puppets anybody? Ooh whoa pretty good,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: not a big deal.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Not Some are actually from the Ford Theater from the night.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: But I was going to go there, but I couldn't
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: find a good way to get there. I was going
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: to go there, Yeah, couldn't, could not, could not land
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: it from a Lincoln's assassination.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why they were available.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Anyways, before we go down that rabbit hole up there,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints lose a couple of players, uh
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: to Mario Davis two year deal with the New York Jets,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and you kind of knew this was coming. Still doesn't
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: make it any easier. Jets started crazy, Well we started
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: with the Jets. He knows the organization.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I thought he said he wanted to win.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah in his bank account.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: I thought he was going to either stay of New
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Orleans or go to a contender.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like he knows the organization, What does that mean
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: the owner is the same, No, I'm saying, like he
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: like he knows what he's getting into. He'd been there before,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: he got drafted by him. So he goes to the Jets,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: which surprising the team. It is I thought he would
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: go somewhere that had an opportunity. That's a bad man.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: It's a bad look. So in my humble opinion, too
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: years twenty plus million fifteen, two years twenty two mil
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: fifteen guaranteed it gets a nice pay day, and he
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: chose that over I think going to a contender is
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: what it is what he did. I mean, the Jets
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: aren't a contender. They never have been, never will be,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: certainly not this year.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: My question is like as well as he's played, I
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: know he's up there in age for a linebacker, but like,
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: as well as he played, he couldn't find ten million
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: somewhere else the year.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he could have. The linebackers were going
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: absolutely one could have fast and furious yesterday. So he
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: makes a move to go to the Jets. Wish you
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: met them, but luck Mariyo, Dave's awesome human being surprised
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: he went to the Jets, like we're talking about, thought
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: he was going to go to a true contender. Alante
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Taylor is also on the move. He signs a three year,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: sixty million dollars deal sixty million dollars now. Alonte Taylor
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: is a versatile player, talented player. I didn't have him
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: getting twenty per But the Titans right now, they were
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: in a position they had money to spend and they said,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: you know what, let's see if we can spend all
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: of it in day one a free agency. Yeah. They
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: I'm counting. They got a lot of corners for a.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: Ten moves so far for the upcoming of the year.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: And now maybe it all wasn't there. There could have
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: been a trade or something before, but this is the
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: looking at the PA.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: They sent him for sixty million. They signed Wandell Robinson
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: receiver from the Giants, four year, seventy eight million sort.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: They signed Cordell Flot another corner three year, forty five
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: million with thirty two fully guaranteed.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: So they brought in three corners. So they clearly don't
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: listen to this show.
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: Between those two people, I believe it's one hundred and
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: two million dollars they spent on two cornerbacks. Yeah, because
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: if you're a listener of this show, you know that
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: if you want to not be a good football team,
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: go overpay for cornerback.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: I get it. Their defense was papoo and they got
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: to improve it. But you got a defensive head coach
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: which is always going to add to that. That and look,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Brian Dayball's there as well, so he's kind of giving
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: a report on these former Giants that you're signing.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: So you know, let's see how it plays out for him.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: I'm sure it'll be really great for the Titans in
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: the next couple of years.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: They also signed defensive tackle John Franklin Myers three years,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: sixty three million from the Denver Broncos. He's a good player,
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: though a lot of money. Hey got to fill seats
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: in that new stadium both, I guess so, and ain't
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: gonna pay for itself for insdue those corners really gonna
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: drive those ticket sales more. OTB when we come back
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: our number two off the bench, all right, go to
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: KTZ Blinds dot com. Kto z Blinds dot com. Ktz

  Speaker 2: in tiers an outdoor living been in the game since
• 44:42

• 45:03
  Speaker 2: change our living room space, but that's exactly what it's done.
