1:25
Speaker 3: about almost a week in the books, and our next
1:28
Speaker 3: guest every single week has finally got something to talk about.
1:32
Speaker 4: Nihill. What's up, buddy? How you doing doing good?
1:36
Speaker 2: Hey man?
1:37
Speaker 5: On a scale of one of the Community Steel how excited.
1:39
Speaker 5: Are you about Rattler, you know, making some place?
1:41
Speaker 3: Oh dude, big time community steell for sure. Oh man,
1:46
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I'm taking I'm just taking bullets out
1:48
Speaker 3: here on social media. Just because I make one comment
1:51
Speaker 3: on a Rattler throw.
1:52
Speaker 5: They get so weird about it. He looked great, though,
1:54
Speaker 5: he really is. He looked great that and look he
1:56
Speaker 5: should add two deep balls to Bury and Brown yesterday.
1:59
Speaker 5: The first one was on the money. Brown kind of
2:01
Speaker 5: missed it came back to him Sam exact throw.
2:03
Speaker 2: They hit on it. He's he's been very solid, man,
2:05
Speaker 2: He's made very good progression.
2:08
Speaker 5: Tyler shucks obviously the starter, but that doesn't mean Spencer
2:11
Speaker 5: Ratler isn't a guy that's also a young, developing quarterback
2:14
Speaker 5: when we see that development too.
2:15
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's been good, man. He's looks solid so far.
2:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:18
Speaker 3: I wasn't even going to ask about him. I didn't
2:19
Speaker 3: want to take those bullets anymore. So thank you for
2:22
Speaker 3: bringing it up. Just because you have a starter doesn't
2:26
Speaker 3: mean your backup can't make improvements. I mean, I think
2:28
Speaker 3: the Saint's got an extremely healthy quarterback groom, and I
2:32
Speaker 3: think Rattler might be one of the best, if not
2:33
Speaker 3: the best backup in the league.
2:36
Speaker 5: Look, he if these weapons develop and Jordan Tyson becomes
2:41
Speaker 5: Jordan Tyson and all these things happen, I wouldn't be
2:45
Speaker 5: super worried about him going in a game, Like I
2:46
Speaker 5: wouldn't necessarily feel like they're screwed if he went.
2:48
Speaker 2: Into a game.
2:49
Speaker 5: And again, like one of my biggest curiosities with this
2:52
Speaker 5: team is I would love to see him end up
2:55
Speaker 5: somewhere else and get a shot at some point, at
2:57
Speaker 5: some point in his career, if it's not going to
2:59
Speaker 5: be here, I would love to see him get you know,
3:01
Speaker 5: the Brian Hoyer chances or whatever some of those guys
3:04
Speaker 5: around the league.
3:04
Speaker 2: I got a chance to prove himself.
3:06
Speaker 5: I think he might surprise people if he keeps developing
3:09
Speaker 5: the way he has, Like you see the improvement. You know,
3:11
Speaker 5: the biggest thing for me is that there's more of
3:13
Speaker 5: a willingness to stretch it out and go down the
3:15
Speaker 5: field so far through five days, Whereas you know that
3:18
Speaker 5: might be a product of just taking out the competition too.
3:22
Speaker 5: Whereas last year you're going out here and it's like,
3:24
Speaker 5: you know, I got to be seventy five percent passing
3:26
Speaker 5: every day and I can't risk a mistake. I think
3:28
Speaker 5: you see a freedom with how he's playing, and I
3:30
Speaker 5: think you see him expanding to what he's doing. I
3:33
Speaker 5: think it's a good thing for him, and I do
3:35
Speaker 5: see growth out of him right now.
3:36
Speaker 3: You know what's what's kind of cool about both the
3:38
Speaker 3: quarterbacks and like, excuse me, listeners for talking about a
3:41
Speaker 3: backup quarterback. I was a backup quarterback, so I'm a
3:43
Speaker 3: little bit interested. But you know what's there's freedom in
3:47
Speaker 3: knowing where you stand for both Shuck and Rattler. Obviously,
3:51
Speaker 3: Schuck knows he is the like the starter, there's no
3:55
Speaker 3: question about that. This is different than last year. So
3:58
Speaker 3: training camp for both of these guys, they get a
4:01
Speaker 3: chance to go on to work on their craft. They
4:04
Speaker 3: don't have to try to outplay somebody right now. They
4:07
Speaker 3: get to work on their craft. So they get to
4:09
Speaker 3: try a back shoulder seam throw that maybe they wouldn't
4:12
Speaker 3: have tried the year before. Because they're not trying to,
4:14
Speaker 3: like you said, be seventy five percent completion, not throw picks.
4:17
Speaker 3: They can go and work on different things that might
4:20
Speaker 3: not look good in a practice because they're trying something new,
4:23
Speaker 3: but it's just something that's going to help both of
4:25
Speaker 3: them develop as players. And there's freedom in that knowing
4:28
Speaker 3: where you stand because again, if you're in a competition,
4:31
Speaker 3: you're not trying like these daring throws. But right now
4:34
Speaker 3: they can try to see what works and what doesn't work.
4:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely a difference out here, like you nailed it,
4:40
Speaker 5: Like it looks completely different. Last year it was chuckdown
4:42
Speaker 5: City and you know, look, obviously the one thing with
4:45
Speaker 5: the first team offense is it has been a little
4:48
Speaker 5: bit too condensed so far. But he's trying throws down
4:51
Speaker 5: the field and so yeah, some of them are missing
4:53
Speaker 5: right now, and you see definite timing issues with these guys.
4:56
Speaker 2: But I like that. I want to see him have.
4:58
Speaker 5: Timing issues going down the field to you know whoever,
5:01
Speaker 5: to Jordan Tyson.
5:02
Speaker 2: I want to see.
5:03
Speaker 5: I actually like the fact that him and Jordan Tyson
5:05
Speaker 5: aren't on the same page on that goal line route
5:07
Speaker 5: where he cuts in and like Tyler's showing at the
5:10
Speaker 5: wrong place because they can correct that. And that's the
5:12
Speaker 5: cool thing about it, though, is you see the same
5:14
Speaker 5: situations come up later on and they're completing the passes.
5:17
Speaker 5: Rattler had one Shuck and Tyson had the miscommunication on
5:21
Speaker 5: the one route and they came back and they hit
5:23
Speaker 5: it another time.
5:24
Speaker 2: For a score.
5:25
Speaker 5: So like, those are good mistakes, and I think we
5:27
Speaker 5: get too caught up in the oh, well, through four days,
5:30
Speaker 5: they've only completed forty seven percent of the passes and
5:33
Speaker 5: goal line or whatever in red zone, but who cares.
5:37
Speaker 5: Like that's what training camps for, and I think being
5:39
Speaker 5: on the other side of this actually allows for the growth.
5:41
Speaker 5: So I think I think you nailed everything. We're kind
5:43
Speaker 5: of seeing out here is that there's more freedom and
5:45
Speaker 5: what they're doing. And while it might not lead to
5:48
Speaker 5: you know, the best training camp stats contextually, when you're
5:51
Speaker 5: actually watching it, I think you see progress happening right now.
5:54
Speaker 2: Yesterday was a good day for the offense.
5:57
Speaker 5: I am worried about red zone though, Like they've had
6:00
Speaker 5: two red zone sessions and been terrible in it, and
6:02
Speaker 5: they were terrible in the red zone last year. So
6:04
Speaker 5: that's at least on like that list of possible worry things.
6:07
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm in a ten on the
6:08
Speaker 5: warriometer right now, but it's it's on the list of
6:11
Speaker 5: things to keep.
6:12
Speaker 2: An eye on throughout camp.
6:13
Speaker 5: But Yeah, it's definitely. It's definitely different removing this competition
6:17
Speaker 5: from from the equation.
6:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, and most training camps, whether it's college,
6:23
Speaker 3: whether it's pro. And Richard and now we're talking about
6:25
Speaker 3: this earlier in the show, it's like defense is going
6:28
Speaker 3: to be ahead for the first week or two of
6:30
Speaker 3: practice in most practices. Now often it's going to have
6:32
Speaker 3: its days, it's going to have its periods. But it
6:34
Speaker 3: does get you a little bit worried on what you
6:36
Speaker 3: call it the warriometer if it is something you have
6:40
Speaker 3: struggled with last season, and it's still kind of struggling
6:42
Speaker 3: show in its head right now. So it's definitely something
6:44
Speaker 3: to improve on, and a big way to improve that
6:47
Speaker 3: is good wide receiver play. Now there's a lot of
6:49
Speaker 3: like in the last week. If you want to talk
6:50
Speaker 3: about wide receiver news as a lot happening with the Saints,
6:55
Speaker 3: let's start with the top dog, Chris Alave. Finally, it's
6:58
Speaker 3: the first time you've joined the show since sign in
7:00
Speaker 3: his deal. Tell me did it kind of land on?
7:03
Speaker 3: I think it happened maybe later the day that you
7:05
Speaker 3: came on the show and talking about the numbers, and
7:07
Speaker 3: it kind of ended up in between the two comps
7:09
Speaker 3: that you were giving, which is London Drake London and
7:14
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson kind of fell in between those two numbers.
7:17
Speaker 2: It actually ended up falling below Wilson with.
7:19
Speaker 5: The real money, you know, the agent advertised money for
7:22
Speaker 5: him above Wilson, and then when you actually see the
7:25
Speaker 5: structure of it there there's a two million incentives that
7:29
Speaker 5: would allow him to get from thirty one to thirty three,
7:31
Speaker 5: and they're achievable incentives. They're basically last year's benchmarks on
7:34
Speaker 5: the numbers across the board, but real money, you know,
7:38
Speaker 5: going to him ends up at thirty one. So I
7:41
Speaker 5: think he gave up a little bit, you know. I
7:43
Speaker 5: think the Saints made him, you know. I think there's
7:45
Speaker 5: a give and take there overall, because like when I
7:47
Speaker 5: first heard it, I think they were around twenty nine.
7:50
Speaker 5: Then he wanted to be above Garrett Wilson, and they
7:53
Speaker 5: settle at thirty one with a chance to get there.
7:55
Speaker 5: So I think they met in the middle there. I
7:56
Speaker 5: think it's reflective of the injury stuff. When we see
7:59
Speaker 5: the actual printed contract, like there's a summary right now
8:02
Speaker 5: that you can get your hands on, like the actual
8:04
Speaker 5: file to the league, like all clauses written out contract.
8:07
Speaker 5: I think it'll be interesting to see if there's any
8:09
Speaker 5: any type of injury protections in there as of right now,
8:13
Speaker 5: Like there's a pretty nice injury guarantee, but there he
8:16
Speaker 5: is there a carve out for you know, concussions or
8:19
Speaker 5: like people sign injury waivers and stuff all the time.
8:21
Speaker 5: So I don't know the exact details on what they
8:23
Speaker 5: could get back if there was like an injury, but
8:26
Speaker 5: I'm assuming there's probably something there.
8:28
Speaker 2: But you know, I think it's fair. I think it's
8:31
Speaker 2: probably fair.
8:32
Speaker 5: If I'm Chris, I would have wanted to get strongly
8:34
Speaker 5: ahead of Wilson.
8:35
Speaker 2: But I think if you look at the.
8:36
Speaker 5: Situation, I think it makes sense to make a concession,
8:38
Speaker 5: lock in some security, get what do you get ninety
8:41
Speaker 5: million guaranteed? Like I think that's a win for him,
8:44
Speaker 5: and if he plays well, he gets over him.
8:46
Speaker 2: So yeah, go ahead, Like it makes sense to me,
8:49
Speaker 2: you know.
8:49
Speaker 5: I think this thing's just gotta got to be protected.
8:51
Speaker 5: When we see this actual contract written out, I'm sure
8:54
Speaker 5: you know there's always there's also the blood clot issue.
8:57
Speaker 5: That's not a football thing, so if that popped up,
8:58
Speaker 5: I think that i'd be fine, the beaten on football,
9:01
Speaker 5: but look, I guess, like you know, you've got an
9:04
Speaker 5: injury history too, Like if you're going out there and
9:05
Speaker 5: risking it, you got to be taken care of too
9:07
Speaker 5: if something happens. So it'll be interesting to see if
9:09
Speaker 5: if there's some type of like concession on both sides
9:12
Speaker 5: on that issue when when we see the actual contract,
9:15
Speaker 5: or was the total concession and just coming down below
9:17
Speaker 5: Garrett Wilson and the money is guaranteed. That could be
9:19
Speaker 5: another way to do it, But I think it's a
9:22
Speaker 5: win for both sides. Man, Like Chris gets his money.
9:24
Speaker 5: The Saints they got to you know, their offense is
9:27
Speaker 5: locked up now for quite a while. And I like
9:30
Speaker 5: the fact that him and and Tyson are on the
9:32
Speaker 5: same trajectory. When Chris's contract expires, Jordan's will be expiring
9:37
Speaker 5: at the same time, So you just move the money
9:40
Speaker 5: over to the other guy and you know, go out
9:42
Speaker 5: and draft another one maybe, like maybe that's how you
9:44
Speaker 5: go forward if things are working out. So I think
9:46
Speaker 5: they're in a good place, like as far as team
9:48
Speaker 5: building with all that.
9:49
Speaker 3: Yea, I got a hard time believing that any agent
9:52
Speaker 3: worth his salt is going to let a client sign
9:55
Speaker 3: a contract that is guaranteed for injury except concussions, even
9:58
Speaker 3: if there's a prior history. I mean, that's football, like
10:01
Speaker 3: it happens, right, So got a hard time believing that's
10:05
Speaker 3: gonna happen.
10:05
Speaker 5: Austin Cally had one, but like man, that was like
10:08
Speaker 5: a lot of you know, a lot of concussions. But
10:10
Speaker 5: by the end of his career, he saw him one
10:12
Speaker 5: with the forty nine ers in the Patriots, I would
10:14
Speaker 5: have to like, I think the concession if I'm guessing
10:17
Speaker 5: it's just that they came down a little bit on
10:19
Speaker 5: the money and met there and he got strong guarantees.
10:22
Speaker 5: And you know, the way he's kind of set up
10:24
Speaker 5: is a full guarantee kicks in and you know that
10:26
Speaker 5: more money kicks in year two, year three, So like
10:29
Speaker 5: there's some stuff there too. If you've got an injury
10:31
Speaker 5: and you aren't performing at the same level, like there
10:33
Speaker 5: there would be an escape hatch, you know. So so
10:37
Speaker 5: the full guarantee, he doesn't get to the full ninety
10:39
Speaker 5: until year three. I'm guessing that's probably what he's gonna
10:42
Speaker 5: end up being. But you know, there's always a chance
10:44
Speaker 5: for his surprise. But you know, Drew Rosenhos is a
10:47
Speaker 5: pretty strong agent.
10:48
Speaker 2: Like I don't.
10:49
Speaker 5: I don't think he got beat here, so so yeah,
10:51
Speaker 5: I think you're probably right.
10:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's that's the rule of thumb for organization.
10:55
Speaker 3: If you want to pay less per year, you got
10:56
Speaker 3: to give more and guarantees, and certainly he got a
10:58
Speaker 3: nice little guarantee there. Of congratulations to Chris and the
11:02
Speaker 3: Saints too. I mean, and you look at way things
11:04
Speaker 3: that the right way to do this whole situation from
11:08
Speaker 3: a hold in instead of a holdout, from the Saints
11:10
Speaker 3: being okay with it and the community. Everything was done
11:12
Speaker 3: the right way. So cudos to both Congress, to both sides.
11:16
Speaker 3: Let's how's Jordan Tyson looking? He looks looks the part.
11:19
Speaker 3: I know we had concerns in the off season. This
11:22
Speaker 3: uh through almost a week in training camp, are you
11:26
Speaker 3: noticing anything? Is he favored anything, has he been held
11:29
Speaker 3: out or has he been a full go?
11:31
Speaker 5: The only thing he's been held out of was one
11:33
Speaker 5: on ones yesterday, so like, and I know I've yeah,
11:38
Speaker 5: I mean, he practiced after it. I've talked to their guy,
11:41
Speaker 5: Ted rat At, the strength and conditioning guy, and he
11:43
Speaker 5: has a lot of thoughts about those drills in particular
11:46
Speaker 5: being hot spots for injuries because you're one on one,
11:49
Speaker 5: you're on camera, you're going out there, there's the field
11:52
Speaker 5: stretched out like so I think it's just playing it safe,
11:54
Speaker 5: making sure he didn't try to do too much pop something,
11:57
Speaker 5: and you know, just kind of running a.
11:58
Speaker 2: Wide open field. Like I said, I think it's been.
12:01
Speaker 5: A work in progress chemistry wise, I don't think it's
12:04
Speaker 5: anywhere near where it's gonna finish. I think you see
12:07
Speaker 5: the the unbelievable ability though, like just every every time
12:11
Speaker 5: he runs her out, like he's an amazing route runner.
12:13
Speaker 5: We tweeted out this clip like him and Chris running
12:15
Speaker 5: the same route and it's kind of like the same
12:17
Speaker 5: speed and they get there in the same duration of time.
12:20
Speaker 5: But like you just see the fluidity in his movement,
12:22
Speaker 5: like next to another guy that has great fluidity in
12:25
Speaker 5: his movement, and Jordan Tyson looks different and he's, yeah,
12:29
Speaker 5: I'm excited about what he's gonna be able to do.
12:31
Speaker 5: Is starting to come together. Him and Chuck got to
12:33
Speaker 5: get on the same page. Like he didn't practice the
12:35
Speaker 5: whole time, Like it makes sense, like he's five practices
12:37
Speaker 5: into his NFL career, but you see where it's going. Man,
12:40
Speaker 5: like that their weapons. If everything clicks. I mean, I
12:44
Speaker 5: think this can be a really really good group of players.
12:47
Speaker 5: And I think he's gonna be. I think he's gonna
12:49
Speaker 5: be a great player. One of the things I like
12:50
Speaker 5: the best. I was rewatching practice last night and they
12:54
Speaker 5: had this screen pass to h hm and he's out
12:58
Speaker 5: there just like throwing blocks, like he's like like just full,
13:01
Speaker 5: like full.
13:02
Speaker 2: Like Kamikazi and the Sanker on it.
13:04
Speaker 5: Like, you know, I don't think it was the technic
13:06
Speaker 5: most technically sound block in the world, but like the
13:09
Speaker 5: willingness to do it as a wide receiver, like you
13:11
Speaker 5: know that that's number one. Some guys have it, some
13:13
Speaker 5: guys don't. And he's willing to do it, so, you know,
13:15
Speaker 5: I think that's a good thing too. So I'm encouraged
13:17
Speaker 5: about where he's had it.
13:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll stay stay with a wide receiver. And just
13:22
Speaker 3: because there's been news with that, jaln Poult decides to retire.
13:26
Speaker 3: He was drafted in twenty twenty four. It's always surprising
13:29
Speaker 3: and you don't spend a lot of time on it
13:30
Speaker 3: because I don't I don't know what kind of impact
13:32
Speaker 3: he would have had or maybe it was a big impact.
13:35
Speaker 3: I know he's a second second round pick, so like
13:38
Speaker 3: did that What was the thoughts around the Saints camp
13:42
Speaker 3: when Joel Bowl decided to hang it out?
13:44
Speaker 5: Pretty surprised, you know, I think I think he was
13:47
Speaker 5: probably in line to maybe be fourth wide receiver. You know,
13:50
Speaker 5: Barran Brown and Bryce Flans are both playing well though,
13:53
Speaker 5: so you know who knows, you know, Jellen Polk, like
13:57
Speaker 5: that was kind of the issue in New England. There's
13:59
Speaker 5: just like a little bit of uh, you know, I
14:01
Speaker 5: just I just think he had trouble. I don't I
14:06
Speaker 5: don't know how to say it, Like, I just think
14:07
Speaker 5: he had trouble, you know, just just handling adversity up there,
14:10
Speaker 5: and I don't think there's a lot of adversity here,
14:12
Speaker 5: but I just I just think maybe he felt, like
14:15
Speaker 5: my understanding of is I just feel like maybe he
14:17
Speaker 5: felt like he'd be happier as a human being removing
14:20
Speaker 5: football from his life, which you know, power to him,
14:23
Speaker 5: because most people wouldn't do that.
14:26
Speaker 2: Most people would you know, stick in it.
14:27
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of guys that play this game
14:29
Speaker 5: that don't like this game, and they do it just
14:31
Speaker 5: because they can make a lot of money. You know,
14:33
Speaker 5: credit to him for for having the stress to do that.
14:35
Speaker 5: Like I I think that takes a lot of courage
14:38
Speaker 5: to walk away from an NFL career. And you know,
14:40
Speaker 5: he did it to you know, for my understanding, because
14:42
Speaker 5: I think he thinks it'll make him a happier person.
14:44
Speaker 3: So yeah, them, it's hard for a young man to
14:49
Speaker 3: come to that realization. So you're seeing more and more
14:51
Speaker 3: people do that, and a lot of times just because
14:54
Speaker 3: of injury or they don't they've had concussions and they
14:57
Speaker 3: don't want to take it to the next.
14:58
Speaker 6: One of the hardest sports to play once you mentally
15:00
Speaker 6: don't want to be there. Yeah, it's like getting up
15:02
Speaker 6: to go through that grind every day. Yeah, I got
15:04
Speaker 6: my second year. I've had two knee surgeries. In my mind,
15:08
Speaker 6: like trying to talk myself into the rain. Yeah, yeah,
15:11
Speaker 6: it gets really tough.
15:13
Speaker 5: So yeah, ninety eight degrees out there too. We'll accelerate
15:17
Speaker 5: that a little bit too.
15:18
Speaker 3: And so this is going to leave the door open
15:21
Speaker 3: a little bit more for maybe more playing for let's
15:24
Speaker 3: very unbrown that obviously, unless you fans are going to
15:27
Speaker 3: want to know, like what's his been what's been his
15:29
Speaker 3: role we do and punt, kickoff returns at is he's
15:31
Speaker 3: shining at the wide receiver position. I know I've seen
15:33
Speaker 3: some clips that you've posted.
15:35
Speaker 5: Yeah all that, but yeah, the shining at wide receiver
15:38
Speaker 5: is like the the exciting part. Like, I think he's
15:42
Speaker 5: something they need to get on the field. He's definitely
15:45
Speaker 5: man His ability to track the ball in the air,
15:46
Speaker 5: like it is something that that stands out, you know,
15:48
Speaker 5: obviously you know punt re turning all the stuff.
15:50
Speaker 2: Probably else so like he's you.
15:51
Speaker 5: Know, good at balls over he's looking can get over
15:53
Speaker 5: the other shoulder like some young guys that are six
15:56
Speaker 5: round picks. Like you see him struggle with stuff like that,
15:58
Speaker 5: and it's the adjustments. It's still learning from. Okay, this
16:01
Speaker 5: didn't work, and then they come back to it and
16:02
Speaker 5: it does work. I think he's earning a role on
16:05
Speaker 5: offense man, Like I don't think he's just going to
16:07
Speaker 5: be a returner.
16:08
Speaker 2: It might be a.
16:09
Speaker 5: Specialized role, you know, small small package of plays or something,
16:13
Speaker 5: but I think there's a lot he can do. And
16:15
Speaker 5: I think he provides versatility too with like the ball
16:17
Speaker 5: in his hands. So I think on you know some
16:19
Speaker 5: of these these you know, get him the ball, get
16:21
Speaker 5: him in motion, pitch them the ball. Like, I think
16:23
Speaker 5: there's a lot of stuff you can do with him
16:25
Speaker 5: just to get him the ball in the open field.
16:26
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna do it. Like we've seen a
16:28
Speaker 5: little bit of creativity there going back to OTAs a
16:32
Speaker 5: mini camp, and they're building on it. So I think
16:34
Speaker 5: he's forcing them to find more ways to utilize him
16:38
Speaker 5: and get a look at him. And he was with
16:40
Speaker 5: the third team. He's firmly with the second team now
16:43
Speaker 5: every day of practice, So I think he's moving up
16:45
Speaker 5: and I think I think he's opening some eyes for sure.
16:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got talent. He could have a very bright future.
16:51
Speaker 3: Let's start. This is going to be our last one
16:54
Speaker 3: for you, but I'm gonna stick with the off offensive
16:56
Speaker 3: side of the ball. Sorry, defense levers out there, it's
16:59
Speaker 3: me asking question. So we're gonna ask about what really matters,
17:01
Speaker 3: which is offense. Let's go to the offensive line. Obviously
17:04
Speaker 3: a big a week, part of the week, part of
17:07
Speaker 3: the team last year and in a lot of games,
17:09
Speaker 3: and they found ways to win at the end, but
17:12
Speaker 3: still had to improve the offensive line in the.
17:15
Speaker 4: Off seas in which they did the addition to David Edwards.
17:17
Speaker 3: So be careful of offensive line reports early on in
17:21
Speaker 3: training camp. But from a like, how's the depth chart
17:24
Speaker 3: looking what's the first rotation looking like? And have you
17:26
Speaker 3: seen anything that flashed one way or the other from
17:29
Speaker 3: the offensive line?
17:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, one day at pad, So like, these are going
17:32
Speaker 5: to be extremely hot takes that.
17:33
Speaker 2: I'm gonna regret saying we're gonna hold you to him.
17:39
Speaker 5: Well, these are Ruiz isn't out there. He just he
17:41
Speaker 5: just welcomed the child. So he's mist like the last
17:44
Speaker 5: three days of practice. So Dylan Raiden's has been playing
17:46
Speaker 5: in his spot has looked okay. But that's created an
17:49
Speaker 5: opportunity for Jeremiah right the fourth round pick out of Auburn,
17:53
Speaker 5: to play with the second team.
17:55
Speaker 2: Yesterday it was the first day and pads. They did
17:56
Speaker 2: one on ones.
17:58
Speaker 5: I thought, I thought, I thought he excellent, Like I was.
18:01
Speaker 5: I was really surprised by how well he played because
18:03
Speaker 5: he was a former defensive tackle he moved over to
18:05
Speaker 5: offensive line. You watch college tape like that, there's some
18:08
Speaker 5: some stuff where you would expect some ronis and maybe
18:10
Speaker 5: that shows up on day two of pads because We've
18:12
Speaker 5: only seen like twelve snaps, but he looked pretty good.
18:15
Speaker 2: Man.
18:16
Speaker 5: Like I was, I was impressed with where he's at,
18:17
Speaker 5: and I think he could be, you know, competitive as
18:20
Speaker 5: a a depth player. You know, I think he's probably
18:22
Speaker 5: still a year away from actually challenging for anything, but
18:25
Speaker 5: I see the vision with him for sure. You Know,
18:28
Speaker 5: Tally and Banks look exactly the same. David Edwards is
18:32
Speaker 5: at as advertised. Eric McCoy looks great, which isn't a surprise,
18:37
Speaker 5: but you know, back healthy, missed seven games last year,
18:39
Speaker 5: came back, doesn't look like he's missed a beat. So
18:41
Speaker 5: I think it's just kind of as expected with those
18:44
Speaker 5: guys in the top unit. Simpkins is getting a good
18:47
Speaker 5: amount of work as the second team center. You see
18:50
Speaker 5: the growth with him, So he's someone that I would
18:51
Speaker 5: expect to be, you know, on the team is depth
18:54
Speaker 5: to and then you know, just some of the other
18:56
Speaker 5: guys like Austin Richards and them, Like, I think it's
18:59
Speaker 5: still kind of the same group of guys.
19:00
Speaker 2: No major surprises really after that first.
19:02
Speaker 5: Day and then just kind of flipping it over, like
19:05
Speaker 5: Vernon Broughton is somebody else defensively that you know, Brazi's out,
19:08
Speaker 5: I would highlight him as someone that's going to stand
19:10
Speaker 5: out in camp and especially first day at pads. Looked
19:14
Speaker 5: really good on one on ones, has some good rushes
19:16
Speaker 5: in team. So nothing really out of the ordinary though
19:20
Speaker 5: with the offensive line. But I think I think they,
19:22
Speaker 5: you know, it's staying healthy. Like if Eric's out there,
19:24
Speaker 5: I think they go to another level. I really think
19:25
Speaker 5: it all kind of just inges on that.
19:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's from top to bottom. I think
19:29
Speaker 3: the first string, the first level of starters can compete
19:33
Speaker 3: with anybody in the league. It's just when you start
19:35
Speaker 3: getting to that depth position at the depth is where
19:38
Speaker 3: the flaws probably show in the roster. So gotta stay
19:41
Speaker 3: healthy and we'll see how that goes.
19:44
Speaker 4: Nick.
19:44
Speaker 3: We appreciate your time as always, looking forward to following

24:51
Speaker 10: Well, he had the black Widow G before I've switched
24:54
Speaker 10: to this one.
24:55
Speaker 4: He's always been a charger guy. It's time. It's time
25:01
Speaker 4: to talk about some real news.
25:03
Speaker 3: Oh Aaron Aaron Rogers as a bad man.
25:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, quoted from Stephen A. Smith.
25:14
Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of y'all, if y'all have social
25:16
Speaker 3: media and if you don't live under a rock. I
25:18
Speaker 3: saw it this morning. Know the scrutiny that Aaron Rodgers received,
25:23
Speaker 3: specifically during the COVID situation. Now, a lot of this
25:25
Speaker 3: self imposed we do a darkness retreat, we do the
25:28
Speaker 3: ayahuasca stuff like, stuff that people can't really relate to.
25:32
Speaker 3: He was out there, but the most criticism he received
25:36
Speaker 3: from media was during the COVID time.
25:38
Speaker 8: Yeah.
25:39
Speaker 3: Well, he has always looked at in the face and spoke,
25:44
Speaker 3: spoke in his mind. Whether you agree with him or not,
25:46
Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter. It's always refreshing when an athlete
25:50
Speaker 3: speaks what's on their mind. Now, they open themselves up
25:54
Speaker 3: to a lot of criticism, which he certainly does. But
25:56
Speaker 3: a lot of athletes too. But in a world that
25:59
Speaker 3: like forever, it's man, these athletes are so boring. I
26:02
Speaker 3: was born in the media. We're all there's only certain
26:05
Speaker 3: people that say Yeah, there's only certain people, and the
26:08
Speaker 3: athletes don't say a lot traditionally, and when it is
26:11
Speaker 3: we're always like, man, I want them to say more.
26:13
Speaker 4: But when they do, pooh pooh on it.
26:16
Speaker 8: Yeah.
26:16
Speaker 3: Uh, Well, he's opened his mind and given his opinions,
26:19
Speaker 3: and he hadn't been wrong about anything. I mean, you
26:22
Speaker 3: could probably find some clips that he's been wrong about something, okay,
26:25
Speaker 3: but like, he hadn't been wrong about a lot, and
26:27
Speaker 3: he took the pat mcavvie show yesterday, which was in Pittsburgh,
26:31
Speaker 3: and took advantage of his time on air. On the
26:34
Speaker 3: Pat mcavee showed that he knew wasn't gonna just rush
26:37
Speaker 3: to break.
26:39
Speaker 8: He said, we got four minutes till the heart out.
26:42
Speaker 3: He walked on stage and asked, while he's walking up,
26:45
Speaker 3: how much time we got and passed eight minutes to
26:47
Speaker 3: all the heart out, and he listened to one question
26:53
Speaker 3: and decided to say, I plead the fifth, obviously a
26:55
Speaker 3: tip of the cap to mister Fauci, and then decided
26:58
Speaker 3: to take eight minutes Tony. He said eight minutes on
27:05
Speaker 3: an absolute rant, doing an absolute victory dance over the
27:10
Speaker 3: things that he was criticized of, and of course calling
27:12
Speaker 3: Fauci a coward and pleading the fifth and saying, you know,
27:15
Speaker 3: quoting all this stuff about you fout saying he was
27:18
Speaker 3: science blah blah blah.
27:20
Speaker 4: Well you also like, if you're.
27:21
Speaker 3: Taking that and you're like, oh, why is he saying
27:23
Speaker 3: all this, Well you also have to look at what
27:25
Speaker 3: they said about Aaron during that time.
27:26
Speaker 4: He said your network, He said your network.
27:28
Speaker 3: He said they people called me a murderer, like at
27:32
Speaker 3: the time because I made a personal choice to not
27:37
Speaker 3: get vaccinized.
27:38
Speaker 8: Vaccine.
27:39
Speaker 4: Well, I was sinking because he said, I'm immunized.
27:42
Speaker 8: Did I give that that's right?
27:45
Speaker 3: And so he made these personal choices that of course
27:47
Speaker 3: because of his position, he was out in the news
27:50
Speaker 3: for well, he just did an absolute victory.
27:53
Speaker 4: How much time do they call covering me? Yeah? He
27:56
Speaker 4: called out ESPN.
27:57
Speaker 6: On ESPN, he said how much time you don't see
27:59
Speaker 6: him talk about exactly?
28:01
Speaker 3: He said, how much do you spend on my responses
28:04
Speaker 3: every single week? And then he did he called out
28:06
Speaker 3: Resining in rabel situation.
28:08
Speaker 9: I'm like, this is like she covers the sport at
28:11
Speaker 9: the highest level and nobody says anything about it.
28:13
Speaker 8: Like he was on he was on.
28:15
Speaker 11: One well and brought up like she's allowed to vote
28:17
Speaker 11: for Coach of the Year, she's allowed to vote for MVP.
28:20
Speaker 11: She has He's like, she has the power to do
28:22
Speaker 11: all of these things. He's like, and they don't cover
28:24
Speaker 11: that at all.
28:24
Speaker 3: It would be funny like people are like that were
28:27
Speaker 3: they don't release we can't see who everybody voted for.
28:30
Speaker 3: But I think I think Ben Johnson was Coach of
28:33
Speaker 3: the Year last year. I think he received thirty of
28:36
Speaker 3: the thirty two votes, and they're like, if she's not
28:38
Speaker 3: one of the ones, yeah, get the the other yeah, exactly,
28:42
Speaker 3: Like and that's a really good point. MVP is a
28:44
Speaker 3: big deal for people financially. Coach of the Year is
28:47
Speaker 3: a big thing deal for people financially. If that was
28:50
Speaker 3: part of you know, you never It's all speculation, but
28:54
Speaker 3: it's good speculation, because what did we tell in the
28:56
Speaker 3: last two days of yesterday and I think Friday things
29:00
Speaker 3: we brought up. We said, ESPN get your stuff together? Yeah,
29:04
Speaker 3: and we said why are nobody talking about Diane Rassini?
29:09
Speaker 3: And I was like, is Aaron an honorary member of
29:11
Speaker 3: the Wolf Pat? He is my god? But I think
29:14
Speaker 3: what you will about Aaron and his lifestyle and whatever.
29:17
Speaker 6: I know. When Pat called him, We're going to do
29:20
Speaker 6: the show, he said, he was like, I get everything ready, yeah, exactly.
29:25
Speaker 11: In the palace playing the carter where he's like, and
29:27
Speaker 11: on your network, he goes, it's not my network.
29:29
Speaker 4: Were here?
29:30
Speaker 3: Pat kept trying to move the conversation along and Aarons
29:32
Speaker 3: and another thing and another thing.
29:35
Speaker 10: The fans in the back were loving it too.
29:38
Speaker 9: I'll say they like agree or disagree with Aaron Rodgers
29:42
Speaker 9: or whatever. I fully respect that he lives his truth,
29:47
Speaker 9: like he just ye like says whatever he wants. Everybody,
29:50
Speaker 9: like you think it's weird that he goes on these
29:52
Speaker 9: ayahuasca retreats and all this stuff, and you think it's
29:55
Speaker 9: strange and Shale Woodley and all that. But I love
29:58
Speaker 9: that he's just so him self about it. I respect
30:01
Speaker 9: anybody that can go against the grain and like stand
30:04
Speaker 9: on business and just be who they are no matter
30:06
Speaker 9: what they say about you.
30:08
Speaker 10: Uniquely him the quarterback act.
30:11
Speaker 6: Who's been doing ayahuasca and they hit it, they want
30:14
Speaker 6: to talk about it, about it, and he comes down,
30:16
Speaker 6: He's like, hell, yeah.
30:17
Speaker 4: I do it. Yeah.
30:18
Speaker 3: He just speaks as true that he doesn't sugarcoat anything.
30:21
Speaker 3: And yeah, he can come off brash sometimes, especially to
30:25
Speaker 3: the media, because he's brashed the people that want something
30:28
Speaker 3: from him, right, And at that position, you're very guarded
30:31
Speaker 3: because you got to think first and foremost. Everybody wants
30:33
Speaker 3: something from you. And and I understand, and look, I'm
30:38
Speaker 3: I'm close with him. I love the guy. I've been
30:41
Speaker 3: on them a long time. He taught me a lot.
30:42
Speaker 3: He was the reason why I improved as a quarterback,
30:44
Speaker 3: and I owe a lot to him, and I'll always
30:48
Speaker 3: have his back. But I also, on the other hand,
30:50
Speaker 3: I understand the criticism at times that comes with with
30:54
Speaker 3: how he presents himself, and he's made things a little
30:57
Speaker 3: bit more difficult sometimes and then he probably could have
31:00
Speaker 3: or should have, but he speaks his truth and he
31:05
Speaker 3: hadn't been wrong on a whole lot of things. He said, like,
31:08
Speaker 3: you've criticized him a lot. He said, Okay, this is
31:12
Speaker 3: his quote. Fauci is a criminal. Okay. He said COVID
31:16
Speaker 3: was made.
31:17
Speaker 8: In a lab in China against humanity.
31:20
Speaker 3: And he said yeah, and he said I'm good, like
31:22
Speaker 3: I'm on good terms with my family. He said, what
31:24
Speaker 3: are you gonna come at me with now? Like what?
31:26
Speaker 4: Like, sure, what's the wife?
31:27
Speaker 2: Aaron?
31:28
Speaker 4: Yeah?
31:29
Speaker 9: Literally, the wife is like the one thing that's funny.
31:31
Speaker 11: He actually casually dropped the something about the wife the
31:34
Speaker 11: other day.
31:35
Speaker 10: First day, He's like, yeah, me and the wife, you know,
31:37
Speaker 10: we Like he was saying that.
31:39
Speaker 9: His wife was like the reason he reconciled with his
31:41
Speaker 9: family or whatever.
31:43
Speaker 8: To Brittany's never seen her.

31:54
Speaker 8: it was awesome.
31:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was awesome.
31:55
Speaker 3: But a lot of times I overreacted, like Matt, that
31:58
Speaker 3: wasn't that cool? That was that was that was pretty cool.
32:01
Speaker 3: And to call out the network on the network call
32:03

33:40
Speaker 4: Right here on off the.
33:41
Speaker 1: Bench, Off the Bench Speak Off the Bench with Jacob
33:51
Speaker 1: Pester and Matt Flynn presenting it by Community Steel.
33:57
Speaker 2: You know why.
34:00
Speaker 4: Trust that need take them up the hood? People look
34:02
Speaker 4: at good.
34:05
Speaker 3: Alright looking back here, Richie Dick Dixon.
34:11
Speaker 6: The clean version of the song was hard to catch.
34:13
Speaker 6: The very first part of that not one original word.
34:16
Speaker 8: Was in the two thousands.
34:20
Speaker 3: In the two thousands, the person that censored a lot
34:22
Speaker 3: of the rap songs might have been the highest paid
34:24
Speaker 3: person in music because he did some work.
34:28
Speaker 6: How hard of this to find like clean version of
34:30
Speaker 6: new songs. I strutted with it because my son listens
34:33
Speaker 6: to a lot of this newer stuff and now I
34:36
Speaker 6: listened to them, WHOA, that's rough, and I try to
34:40
Speaker 6: get on YouTube and look for a clean version out there.
34:43
Speaker 3: I guess the I don't know, that's a good question.
34:46
Speaker 3: I guess not all music goes because they cuss on
34:48
Speaker 3: TV now. I mean like there's used to be so
34:51
Speaker 3: restricted with this stuff, and now I just feel like
34:53
Speaker 3: nobody spends the time to.
34:57
Speaker 4: The radio edit version.
34:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's an interesting in point, huh. I
35:03
Speaker 3: guess you can say just about anything. It's tough, Like
35:06
Speaker 3: we push the limits here sometimes and sometimes you know,
35:09
Speaker 3: word slips out. I guess we're not supposed to technically say, it's.
35:12
Speaker 10: More of a guest thing here.
35:14
Speaker 8: Yeah, the guess come on here and they let it fly.
35:20
Speaker 3: Because the guests are used to to that point. The
35:22
Speaker 3: guests are used to going on podcasts and then they
35:24
Speaker 3: have they come on here where you limited on the
35:27
Speaker 3: words that you can say.
35:28
Speaker 4: Now you can say some. You just can't celebrate it.
35:31
Speaker 4: But yeah, usually it was.
35:33
Speaker 6: An accidental thing for me, Like, it's really hard doing
35:36
Speaker 6: the postgame shows. I'm actually pissed off in a moment
35:40
Speaker 6: and I start stuttering because I'm trying not to say
35:42
Speaker 6: certain words.
35:43
Speaker 3: And not to bring up a show two segments in
35:45
Speaker 3: a row. But the introduction to the Pat McAfee show
35:48
Speaker 3: is really great, where they it's the warning beforehand. We
35:51
Speaker 3: do say if you're young, please you know, ask a parents.
35:54
Speaker 8: You should do that. For TV, we.
35:55
Speaker 3: Say curse words because that's how humans in the real world.
36:02
Speaker 3: Do you say curse words or cuss words? Cause cuss words? Okay?
36:07
Speaker 3: I think I think because I think everybody's yeah, we're
36:10
Speaker 3: all in agreeance that it's usually when someone says curse.
36:14
Speaker 4: Why are you cursing at me? I kind of that.
36:17
Speaker 4: I think, is it more country.
36:19
Speaker 3: To say, cussing, Yeah, I would think so cursing is
36:23
Speaker 3: more of the fancy pants waits.
36:26
Speaker 4: Mean the same thing. I'm assuming, like swear words. Sounds like.
36:30
Speaker 6: Your teacher like no swear words. Yeah, okay, speaking of
36:35
Speaker 6: like no cuss words. I remember maybe it was No.
36:38
Speaker 2: Six.
36:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, it had been No. Six and Myles was telling
36:41
Speaker 6: the coaches to cut back on it, and Jimbo was.
36:43
Speaker 3: Like that, I don't think I can do that, coach.
36:49
Speaker 4: That's just me.
36:50
Speaker 3: Okay, So when you were going to tune into NFL
36:54
Speaker 3: this year, do you cheer?
36:58
Speaker 4: I'm not even gonna put words in your mouth who
37:00
Speaker 4: you cheer for? Like, I like the Lions right now,
37:02
Speaker 4: and it's not necessarily because I played there. I like
37:04
Speaker 4: to watch ship. It's like people I know that are
37:06
Speaker 4: involved in.
37:07
Speaker 3: About to say the lines, but I didn't want to
37:09
Speaker 3: feed that to you. No, it's like I fear just
37:11
Speaker 3: because of shop I watched.
37:12
Speaker 6: I watch the Rams a lot because I still like
37:14
Speaker 6: watching Matt play. It's typically, you know, I don't have
37:17
Speaker 6: a true fandom for any team. It's do I know
37:20
Speaker 6: somebody on the team?
37:21
Speaker 4: Do I know?
37:21
Speaker 6: Do I have a relationship ship with somebody? And that's
37:23
Speaker 6: kind of the games I watch, and like I love
37:26
Speaker 6: watching you know, Joe Burrow and Pat Mahomes, Like I
37:29
Speaker 6: typically watch the games that I think are gonna have
37:32
Speaker 6: the most superstars in it, like the fun games. I'm
37:35
Speaker 6: not watching just every Saints game, like a normal Saints fan.
37:38
Speaker 4: Has has the.
37:42
Speaker 3: All the craziness in college athletics, the bad schedule, the pay,
37:48
Speaker 3: like the just the bs that comes to college has
37:51
Speaker 3: that diluted your love for college athletics. And anyway, I
37:56
Speaker 3: still love the game and I'm not going to miss
37:57
Speaker 3: a game. But like we talked about earlier, like I
37:59
Speaker 3: can name ten LSU players right now, fifteen, Like that
38:03
Speaker 3: bothers me because I used to know everybody on the roster, right,
38:05
Speaker 3: and like you knew the guys that were there, the guys,
38:07
Speaker 3: the incoming freshmen. I look forward to seeing certain guys
38:10
Speaker 3: how they progressed. Now it's just like are they They're
38:14
Speaker 3: gonna be here next year?
38:14
Speaker 4: Right?
38:15
Speaker 3: So what do you get more excited to watch Saturday
38:17
Speaker 3: or Sunday? Oh it's still Saturday, like a big l
38:20
Speaker 3: s U game. Well yeah, sure, I mean that's not
38:22
Speaker 3: the if you're gonna sit down and watch just random football,
38:29
Speaker 3: are you watching random college games or are you watching
38:31
Speaker 3: random NFL games? Because I every every NFL, every game
38:36
Speaker 3: is pretty much random Saturday's.
38:38
Speaker 6: We've got so much stuff going on with the kids.
38:39
Speaker 6: Is like, if I'm going to plan something, if I'm
38:41
Speaker 6: blocking out one game, it's gonna be the LSU game.
38:43
Speaker 6: And there's other stuff I got going on, Like this year,
38:46
Speaker 6: my son plays on Saturdays, and I'm really nervous that
38:49
Speaker 6: it's gonna happen during an LSU game.
38:52
Speaker 4: I don't know what I'm gonna do yet.
38:54
Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm just gonna come home. I'm just gonna come
38:56
Speaker 6: into handing and be like, hey, I didn't watch the
38:57
Speaker 6: game of let's talk about it.
39:00
Speaker 3: I was about to say, like, I know, I'm kind
39:02
Speaker 3: of always been like where you're at, where I know
39:06
Speaker 3: a handful of players.
39:08
Speaker 4: I know their numbers better than their names.
39:09
Speaker 3: Right, Because you don't follow, you don't get invested personally
39:12
Speaker 3: with these with these guys because they're not like in
39:15
Speaker 3: the NFL, you're you're you feel like you know them
39:17
Speaker 3: a little bit more personally because it's they're more out
39:19
Speaker 3: in the media like LSU. I don't think they are
39:21
Speaker 3: quite as much unless you're following recruiting and following the
39:24
Speaker 3: transfer portal. Their personalities aren't necessarily out there as much
39:29
Speaker 3: as like NFL, so you don't the connection is not
39:32
Speaker 3: quite there quite as much for me.
39:35
Speaker 4: But at football season probably should learn a few more.
39:37
Speaker 6: My favorite way to watch football on Sundays is Red Zone.
39:42
Speaker 4: Yeah.
39:42
Speaker 6: I love watching the red zone him because you're getting
39:45
Speaker 6: all the highlights to key moments and good plays. Like
39:47
Speaker 6: I can think of maybe one or two games last
39:50
Speaker 6: year in the NFL I sat down and watch from
39:51
Speaker 6: kickoff to the end of the game. But if I
39:54
Speaker 6: must spend an hour and a half, I have the
39:56
Speaker 6: split screen on one game that I want to see
39:57
Speaker 6: on and then red Zone.
39:59
Speaker 4: Yep.
39:59
Speaker 3: All right, well y'all get your asked the bench questions
