1:57
Speaker 5: to A ton to get to LSU baseball, of course,
1:59
Speaker 5: and that's probably what we'll get the show started with
2:01
Speaker 5: when we come back. NFL Draft, just getting back from
2:07
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh yesterday. They're all seven rounds called all seven rounds,
2:11
Speaker 5: so we'll have a lot of reaction to the Saints
2:13
Speaker 5: and what they did in the totality of their draft,
2:15
Speaker 5: where your favorite lshue player got drafted, also where those
2:19
Speaker 5: lshoe players signed as undrafted free agents. So a lot
2:23
Speaker 5: to get to there, Alandra, straight out of Startfield, Mississippi,
2:28
Speaker 5: literally this weekend outside of the baseball, because that's the obvious,
2:33
Speaker 5: and again we'll get the show, you know, started with
2:36
Speaker 5: that a little bit later on.
2:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, how was it I Besides the baseball, I had
2:43
Speaker 7: the best time ever. Like, I really enjoyed Starkville. It
2:48
Speaker 7: was a perfect weekend to go and it sucks that
2:51
Speaker 7: we lost, but like everything about it was great. The
2:54
Speaker 7: fans were like the opposing fans were good to me.
2:57
Speaker 7: They weren't super annoying like some people can be, but
3:00
Speaker 7: maybe it's because I was with somebody that was a
3:02
Speaker 7: Mississippi State fan, but I don't it was. So we
3:06
Speaker 7: did Hunt Show from Two Brothers, which is in the
3:08
Speaker 7: Cotton District, like right off campus, and Hunt Show was
3:12
Speaker 7: from there. Everybody kept talking about the wings, like you
3:15
Speaker 7: gotta try the wings. I'm a y'all know me. I
3:18
Speaker 7: love wings. I'm a chicken wing person. Those might have
3:21
Speaker 7: been the best wings I've ever had in my life.
3:23
Speaker 7: I'm not joking, Like, if you ever find yourself in
3:26
Speaker 7: Starkville two Brothers in the Cotton District, their chicken wings.
3:31
Speaker 6: Are so good, like the best I've ever had.
3:33
Speaker 7: And then we went to the game obviously, and it
3:37
Speaker 7: was going really good until it wasn't.
3:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, it's going good all three days until it
3:41
Speaker 5: was right.
3:42
Speaker 7: And that's like the most disappointing part. Like we had
3:44
Speaker 7: the lead the entire yesterday. We had the lead, and
3:47
Speaker 7: I was like, don't worry, We're gonna blow it. Yeah,
3:48
Speaker 7: like we This is literally how it started every game
3:52
Speaker 7: this weekend, like we are gonna blow it, and we did,
3:54
Speaker 7: and it was just the most annoying thing ever. But
3:58
Speaker 7: we went to the Wiener dog Races on Saturday, which
4:00
Speaker 7: was also awesome, the most adorable thing ever. And then
4:04
Speaker 7: we went to the game that day and again it
4:10
Speaker 7: was good until it wasn't. But Starkville as a whole
4:13
Speaker 7: was a great experience and like, the Dude is awesome, LSU.
4:19
Speaker 7: I know people say this all the time, but like
4:22
Speaker 7: if they did something like that and not just like
4:24
Speaker 7: the nobody really cares about the new things that they
4:28
Speaker 7: put out there, right, I don't feel like people really
4:30
Speaker 7: buy tickets, and I think it's through taff the what
4:33
Speaker 7: do they call them, the seats on the bottom that are.
4:36
Speaker 5: Like the takeownes.
4:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, like those are cool or whatever. But like.
4:42
Speaker 7: The outfield at the Dude is awesome and the environment
4:45
Speaker 7: is great, and I think that maybe people think that
4:48
Speaker 7: they'll lose money out on it, but I don't know.
4:51
Speaker 7: It was packed out there and the vibes were great.
4:53
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean it's like their their baseball is going
4:57
Speaker 5: to be like, yeah, their best environment. Like football is
4:59
Speaker 5: not bad, and so I don't want to act like
5:01
Speaker 5: I'm hating on that, but baseball is their best environment.
5:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Dude's awesome.
5:04
Speaker 7: It is like the I'm glad I went because it
5:07
Speaker 7: was the coolest baseball field i've been to so far.
5:10
Speaker 6: All right, Yeah, well it was great, a great one,
5:13
Speaker 6: even better.
5:13
Speaker 7: But yeah, I would I would recommend if you're a
5:16
Speaker 7: baseball fan to plan a trip to start Fille.
5:20
Speaker 5: Okay, next time Elish was there.
5:26
Speaker 6: In two years. I guess it was fun.
5:30
Speaker 5: Ta as your weekend, sir.
5:34
Speaker 4: Seven rounds of the NFL Draft. How you think it was?
5:37
Speaker 5: Jacob was a fantastic.
5:40
Speaker 4: It was a little bit before the show, all right, Matt,
5:43
Speaker 4: I know I was loud. Is that the twar de France?
5:46
Speaker 5: It was No, it was raising knees. Todd Gray is
5:48
Speaker 5: telling us about the chicken fingers, so kind of fits.
5:51
Speaker 5: It's raising Kane studio.
5:53
Speaker 4: We uh.
5:54
Speaker 8: I was telling you a little bit before the show
5:55
Speaker 8: started painting in the nursery on uh on Saturday during
5:59
Speaker 8: the last couple of rounds of the draft. Got the
6:01
Speaker 8: baby crib yesterday, so it's getting real.
6:04
Speaker 5: Turning back down, Well, yeah, I hope you wouldn't turn back,
6:09
Speaker 5: but I see what you're saying. You're getting ready.
6:12
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna go step out for some milk and
6:16
Speaker 7: just never come back.
6:17
Speaker 4: I'll be back, guy Storm.
6:20
Speaker 5: Oh man, So gosh, I was in Pittsburgh for so long. Yeah,
6:25
Speaker 5: that was the longest we got done because we did
6:30
Speaker 5: all seven rounds. When we did rounds four through seven
6:34
Speaker 5: on Saturday, that was kind of an all day event obviously,
6:38
Speaker 5: but it was I mean, it was it was fun.
6:40
Speaker 5: I did it with Danny Canel and Bobby Carpenter. Yeah,
6:43
Speaker 5: they got a chance to see them do a show
6:44
Speaker 5: with them. It's kind of been a while. Eli hiden
6:48
Speaker 5: Wright was at the draft the Navy running back, so
6:51
Speaker 5: that was cool to catch up with him in person.
6:53
Speaker 5: He had so many family members there and they were
6:56
Speaker 5: all emotional. So he he came by and he's from Pittsburgh,
6:59
Speaker 5: got after by the Steelers. Very cool story, and he's
7:03
Speaker 5: super athletic guy. I think he four three forty I
7:07
Speaker 5: think what he ran and had a tunnel production in Navy.
7:09
Speaker 5: So it was just cool. First time since I believe
7:13
Speaker 5: it was nineteen fifty six, the Navy has had two
7:17
Speaker 5: players drafted in the same draft. Really, I found that
7:20
Speaker 5: kind of hard to believe. Yeah, I was like, well, yeah,
7:22
Speaker 5: I mean and then there's certain things like you get
7:24
Speaker 5: to make sure you have the waiver and yeah, some
7:26
Speaker 5: of that's just new. Some people, you know, delay their service.
7:30
Speaker 5: So the way he'll do it, he'll be in the
7:33
Speaker 5: reserves and in the off season he'll just go and
7:37
Speaker 5: it's almost like it he'll be a recruiter basically. Yeah,
7:42
Speaker 5: Like he'll be a recruiter for the Navy and he'll
7:44
Speaker 5: be in the reserves and the off season. I had
7:46
Speaker 5: a teammate that was like that with Air Force Ben Garland.
7:48
Speaker 5: Same thing. Reserves. Yeah, gives him a chance to go
7:52
Speaker 5: live out his dream and steal service country.
7:55
Speaker 7: What would you say the best interview you had there
7:58
Speaker 7: was like in person.
7:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I caught.
8:02
Speaker 6: Up because I feel like athletes are so hit or miss.
8:06
Speaker 8: Yes, they're either they're either two to three word answers
8:10
Speaker 8: or they're absolutely electric.
8:11
Speaker 5: Yeah. Now, so on Wednesday morning we did our show
8:16
Speaker 5: from they had a youth football camp with like, you know,
8:19
Speaker 5: kids from the area. They did a special Olympics event too,
8:22
Speaker 5: and so we got a chance to catch up. It
8:23
Speaker 5: was we got a chance to catch up with everybody
8:25
Speaker 5: that was physically at the draft. For the most part.
8:28
Speaker 5: There was like three people that we had to record
8:30
Speaker 5: because we just couldn't figure out the timing. There were
8:33
Speaker 5: you know, there's some that are media trained, Yeah, you
8:37
Speaker 5: could tell they're looking at you and they've got their
8:39
Speaker 5: crutch words that they're leaning on, which is fine. I
8:41
Speaker 5: guess what you're supposed to do. But there's some there
8:44
Speaker 5: like okay, that's a little you know, a little train,
8:47
Speaker 5: like you try to open them up a little bit.
8:51
Speaker 5: Sunny styles is great. Yeah, like I know, I keep
8:54
Speaker 5: going back to Sunny Like he's so polished. Yeah, he
8:57
Speaker 5: speaks incredibly well. One day he's going to take somebody's
9:01
Speaker 5: job in this business like that, Like you can feel
9:03
Speaker 5: that about him. So he was really good. But Ty
9:08
Speaker 5: Simpson and Kayden Proctor were really good. We had them
9:11
Speaker 5: after they got drafted, and we did them together since
9:14
Speaker 5: they were both Alabama guys and the joy they had
9:17
Speaker 5: for each other and all that, that was kind of
9:18
Speaker 5: cool to see. And it's funny. We had Carnal Tate
9:22
Speaker 5: after he got drafted and they asked him like he
9:25
Speaker 5: was surprised to go like fourth overall.
9:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so I'll be honest, I am.
9:31
Speaker 5: He did.
9:32
Speaker 4: He admit the Titans panicked.
9:33
Speaker 5: I know he's he said like, yeah, I'm surprised to
9:35
Speaker 5: go that high. I thought I'd be obviously top fifteen,
9:38
Speaker 5: but I didn't know I'd go four. It almost like
9:40
Speaker 5: you didn't have conversations with the Titans kind of going
9:43
Speaker 5: into it.
9:45
Speaker 6: Well, taty things a panic pick and it now it
9:47
Speaker 6: kind of feels.
9:48
Speaker 5: Like there was a lot of panic picks. The Cowboys
9:52
Speaker 5: had a panic pick. They wanted to keep Mesador. He
9:55
Speaker 5: got taken by the Chargers, and so they went Malkay Lawrence.
9:58
Speaker 5: That was a that was a reach for malacky Lawrence.
10:01
Speaker 5: And they had edge rusher in mine right. They didn't
10:03
Speaker 5: think the Chargers were going to go edge rusher. They
10:05
Speaker 5: thought offensive line. He went, and they're like, oh crap
10:08
Speaker 5: oo mm hm. There was a lot of that. The Steelers,
10:12
Speaker 5: they panicked. They were on the phone with Malachi Lemon.
10:15
Speaker 5: You see the video, Yeah, and the Eagles trade up
10:17
Speaker 5: and they're like, actually give the phone to us, and
10:20
Speaker 5: they select him. And then the Steelers reached for an
10:23
Speaker 5: offensive lineman.
10:24
Speaker 6: Yeah.
10:25
Speaker 5: I mean, y'all gotta have some backups, y'all gotta have
10:27
Speaker 5: a better situation. But these teams panic and then and
10:31
Speaker 5: the clock's ticking and they'll pass you up if you
10:33
Speaker 5: don't turn your card in.
10:35
Speaker 8: The Cardinals, they not only did I hate that pick
10:38
Speaker 8: for the Cardinals, they turned in there. That pick was
10:41
Speaker 8: done with like twenty seconds.
10:43
Speaker 5: The Cardinals uber three which one which pick.
10:46
Speaker 4: Though the first round? Jeremy, I love, Oh a perfect pick?
10:48
Speaker 5: What do you mean?
10:49
Speaker 4: I just great picks.
10:51
Speaker 5: I've been telling you for three months that was going
10:53
Speaker 5: to be the pick.
10:54
Speaker 8: I just I mean for the Cardinals, like Titans would
10:57
Speaker 8: have been great. Like the Cardinals, they don't have anybody
10:59
Speaker 8: on their offensive line.
11:00
Speaker 5: They were thirty first in rushing, I know, and they
11:04
Speaker 5: drafted offensive line and signed some they got a few.
11:06
Speaker 5: You were thirty first. You're leading rusher at three hundred
11:09
Speaker 5: and ninety something yards total. You're leading rusher. I just
11:13
Speaker 5: so hold on. You got the best player in the draft,
11:16
Speaker 5: which everybody says yep, And everybody always says, now, you know,
11:21
Speaker 5: you shouldn't have picked running back to had this debate
11:23
Speaker 5: with everybody always says, all you can get that guy later.
11:28
Speaker 5: Ten of the top twelve rushers in last year's stats
11:33
Speaker 5: were in the second round our first round. Ten of
11:36
Speaker 5: the twelve. The only ones that weren't were a chan
11:38
Speaker 5: from Miami third rounder and Kyen Williams, a fifth rounder
11:41
Speaker 5: from the Rams. So everybody says, you can go get
11:43
Speaker 5: that guy later, but all the analytics are saying you
11:48
Speaker 5: better go get him pretty early. And they got a
11:51
Speaker 5: guy in three that a lot of people said was
11:52
Speaker 5: the best player in the draft, and they were horrid
11:54
Speaker 5: running the football last year.
11:55
Speaker 4: I love him.
11:56
Speaker 8: I think he's gonna do a lot what Gent did
11:59
Speaker 8: last year. Just have know where to run.
12:01
Speaker 5: He's a better prospect than Gent for sure.
12:03
Speaker 8: But I mean that offensive line, how much better is
12:05
Speaker 8: it going to be? Like, I think this is a
12:07
Speaker 8: pick for them two years from now, they don't have
12:09
Speaker 8: a quarterback, they don't have a ton of pass catchers.
12:11
Speaker 8: Like two years from now, this pick may look really
12:13
Speaker 8: got Mike.
12:13
Speaker 5: I mean they got Mike. Mike Wilson and Trey McBride
12:15
Speaker 5: both have it over a thousand yards.
12:17
Speaker 4: I'm more worried about hold On.
12:19
Speaker 5: I just did seven rounds, so I got all the
12:21
Speaker 5: It's still in my memory bank here. I don't know.
12:24
Speaker 5: I think it's because he plays running back. And look,
12:27
Speaker 5: you're not Taylor, You're not the only person. You're not
12:29
Speaker 5: the only person that's gonna hate on a running back selection.
12:32
Speaker 5: By the way, we had three fullbacks selected. Let's go three.
12:36
Speaker 6: The return of the full back.
12:37
Speaker 5: Three in this draft, and it was funny esbo Is
12:40
Speaker 5: trying to put him a tight end, like dude's never
12:43
Speaker 5: played tight end in his life.
12:45
Speaker 4: What I heard?
12:45
Speaker 2: Uh?
12:46
Speaker 4: Was it.
12:48
Speaker 5: From Michigan? What was it?
12:49
Speaker 4: Day three? Indiana?
12:50
Speaker 5: Probably know Akowski?
12:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard him.
12:52
Speaker 9: I was.
12:53
Speaker 4: I was in the room, Peyton, I heard it. I
12:54
Speaker 4: was like, Jake's gonna love that. No, I'm I'm not.
12:58
Speaker 8: Someone that's like take a running back round one. I'm
13:01
Speaker 8: all good for it. I just I don't know how
13:03
Speaker 8: much he's going to contribute this year.
13:05
Speaker 5: Okay, who have you selected?
13:06
Speaker 8: If you're the Cardinals, I probably would have went super
13:09
Speaker 8: boring edge rusher, oh line, probably edge.
13:13
Speaker 5: Who got RVL rees. So you got on the guy
13:16
Speaker 5: with six and a half sacks. He didn't have any
13:19
Speaker 5: sacks in his final six games. Over somebody who a
13:22
Speaker 5: lot of people says the best player in the draft.
13:24
Speaker 8: He is the best player in the draft. I don't
13:26
Speaker 8: think there's a maybe they.
13:28
Speaker 5: You gotta think too. Like his running back coach, who
13:31
Speaker 5: I interviewed last week, said if he was a receiver
13:34
Speaker 5: in this draft, he would have been the top receiver
13:36
Speaker 5: in this draft. So he's a different I asked him
13:39
Speaker 5: on Wednesday, morning, you know kind of how to how
13:42
Speaker 5: do teams view you? Different teams you talk to you, like,
13:44
Speaker 5: what do they want to do? He said, Well, they
13:46
Speaker 5: don't say running back, they say weapon. So nobody really
13:50
Speaker 5: classifies me as a running back. Which that's a lot
13:54
Speaker 5: of different things.
13:54
Speaker 8: That's what I love about the Gibbs pick a couple
13:56
Speaker 8: of years ago. I mean, Gibbs is Gibbs his weapon.
13:59
Speaker 5: He was twelve, he.
14:01
Speaker 4: May have been ten. I mean he was somewhere in there.
14:03
Speaker 4: He's somewhere ten to fifteen.
14:04
Speaker 8: But no, I just I don't think the Cardinals have
14:08
Speaker 8: a ton outside of him.
14:10
Speaker 4: Is my biggest issue.
14:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna give you another one. If you
14:15
Speaker 5: don't have an offensive line that is going to block
14:20
Speaker 5: it up and keep it clean for you. So I
14:22
Speaker 5: was a runner. I needed it blocked up. I was
14:25
Speaker 5: gonna read my keys and if there was a crease,
14:27
Speaker 5: I was going to hit it. Ashing Genty's like that too, Right,
14:31
Speaker 5: we're talking about running backs have been drafted high. Jeremi
14:34
Speaker 5: Love can create on his own. He doesn't need it
14:37
Speaker 5: to be blocked up and follow his keys. He can
14:39
Speaker 5: make a guy miss in the backfield, turn the corner,
14:42
Speaker 5: and go sixty five. So in their mind they're thinking, hey,
14:47
Speaker 5: we still have a ways to go on the offensive line,
14:50
Speaker 5: but we at least have this playmaker that can go
14:52
Speaker 5: create on his own as well. This man's coming in
14:59
Speaker 5: here packing the running back.
15:02
Speaker 8: I love cheering, my love. I just I don't trust
15:04
Speaker 8: the Cardinals to do anything right.
15:06
Speaker 5: They signed two guards, three guards in free agency. Basantis
15:11
Speaker 5: from A and M in the second round.
15:13
Speaker 4: Basanthis is a really good player.
15:17
Speaker 5: We'll come up with a bet later. I don't know
15:19
Speaker 5: what the bet is yet. Okay, on yards production for
15:22
Speaker 5: Jeremiah Love, all right, we'll take a break. Unfortunately, we
15:28
Speaker 5: got to talk about LSU baseball. Alandro was boosting the
15:31
Speaker 5: ground for all three games, so they're gonna lean on
15:34
Speaker 5: her for some of this conversation. I came in Saturday
15:38
Speaker 5: night after doing four rounds of the draft. I'm like, oh,
15:42
Speaker 5: LSU baseball is on TV. I forgot about that. Let
15:45
Speaker 5: me go ahead, get showered up, get a little snack.
15:50

Speaker 5: gonna be hydrated in a lot of different ways. And
19:20
Speaker 5: again you can go see them and you can call
19:22
Speaker 5: them as well. Two to five, nine five, three eight,
19:24
Speaker 5: one five zero, go flow. All right, let's go ahead
19:32
Speaker 5: and just rip the band aid off. LSU gets swept again,
19:35
Speaker 5: first time ever that they've got swept three straight SEC series.
19:40
Speaker 5: They lose on Friday in eleven innings, ten to eight,
19:43
Speaker 5: They lose on Saturday, nine to eight, and they lose
19:46
Speaker 5: yesterday thirteen to eight. They had a lead in all
19:50
Speaker 5: three games. They had some moments and we'll talk about
19:54
Speaker 5: them that are highlights for the future. But in the present,
20:00
Speaker 5: it's really bad. It's really bad. There's good players out there,
20:07
Speaker 5: there's great coaches out there, but it's a bad team
20:11
Speaker 5: right now. And I think all of us have talked
20:13
Speaker 5: enough sports, played enough sports, been around enough sports to
20:17
Speaker 5: know what that means. Right The parts that you put
20:22
Speaker 5: together right now are bad together. They're not good together.
20:27
Speaker 5: And Jay's talked about it. So the head coach knows it,
20:30
Speaker 5: we know it. Everybody knows it, and I always talk
20:35
Speaker 5: about and mad does the laundry does Tata does. Good
20:38
Speaker 5: teams find a way to win, they do. Good teams
20:40
Speaker 5: will find a way to win a game in any sport,
20:43
Speaker 5: and sometimes it can be gritty over pretty, but you
20:46
Speaker 5: find a way. The same can be said about bad teams.
20:49
Speaker 5: I say this all the time. Bad teams find a
20:52
Speaker 5: way too, they just do. They can look great, they
20:55
Speaker 5: can have the momentum, they can be the leader in
20:59
Speaker 5: the clubhouse until that one moment comes where a bad
21:02
Speaker 5: team finds a way to give it away. And that's
21:05
Speaker 5: what you saw all weekend. A bad team together again,
21:10
Speaker 5: good players, great coaches. It's a bad team. The way
21:14
Speaker 5: that these pieces are put together coming together right now,
21:17
Speaker 5: there's nothing good about it. And so you can have success,
21:22
Speaker 5: which they did. There was times of success. There was
21:26
Speaker 5: individual players that we certainly will talk about in a
21:28
Speaker 5: positive way. But as a team, you found a way
21:33
Speaker 5: to lose all three games. I don't know which one
21:36
Speaker 5: is the most egregious, Probably Saturday, I don't know, they
21:40
Speaker 5: all felt pretty egregious. Saturday. You're in full control and
21:44
Speaker 5: then one inning you let it all slip through your fingers.
21:48
Speaker 5: I mean the Grand Slam, you try to fight back
21:52
Speaker 5: and you still lose. Landra, you were there, You have
21:56
Speaker 5: firsthand experience of this series. It was a weird series.
22:02
Speaker 5: And the fact that you jumped out early in every
22:04
Speaker 5: single game. Now Pace and EV's not going on Friday
22:10
Speaker 5: changed your approach on the mound left you without some
22:14
Speaker 5: guys that you normally would go to. But still these
22:16
Speaker 5: were big leads. They weren't you know, one run leads.
22:20
Speaker 5: They were multiple run leads that you gave up all
22:22
Speaker 5: three days.
22:23
Speaker 7: Right, You're right. I was there and I was I remember.
22:29
Speaker 7: So I was sitting obviously next to a bunch of
22:32
Speaker 7: State people and one of them had like given the
22:35
Speaker 7: game over to me, like he was like, oh, y'all
22:37
Speaker 7: got it.
22:37
Speaker 6: Whatever.
22:37
Speaker 7: It was the bottom of the fourth inning in the
22:41
Speaker 7: on Friday, so the first game, bottom of the fourth inning,
22:44
Speaker 7: and I was like, I don't know, there's a lot
22:45
Speaker 7: of baseball left. I was like, a LSU is not
22:49
Speaker 7: doing well this season. It is the bottom of the
22:52
Speaker 7: fourth inning, a whole lot of baseball left. And then
22:55
Speaker 7: we go into extras and they walk it off in
22:58
Speaker 7: extras and that was just like whatever, Like that guy
23:03
Speaker 7: Kevin Mluski or Malowski or something like that.
23:06
Speaker 6: He just Cowen when he's on, is on.
23:10
Speaker 7: But sometimes that's the thing with pictures like Zach Cowen,
23:14
Speaker 7: where it's not a lot of heat that he's throwing.
23:17
Speaker 7: It's more about like command placement, control of where the
23:20
Speaker 7: ball's going and whenever you kind of give one up
23:24
Speaker 7: like that, like that's just what happens with pictures like that.
23:28
Speaker 6: But he's really good.
23:29
Speaker 7: Usually it's just you know, you left when hanging and
23:32
Speaker 7: it is what it is. But yeah, I mean, you
23:34
Speaker 7: had a big lead Friday. You had a big lead
23:37
Speaker 7: Saturday too, and like you said, Saturday, I do think,
23:40
Speaker 7: like you said, is the more egregious one, just because
23:43
Speaker 7: it was.
23:43
Speaker 6: One inning where it all fell apart.
23:45
Speaker 7: On that one Friday night, they kind of were chipping
23:48
Speaker 7: away at the lead with like that home run, and
23:51
Speaker 7: then they just kind of tipped away, tipped away, and
23:53
Speaker 7: then obviously the big extra innings and then you had
23:59
Speaker 7: a chance in the tenth, you had the bases loaded
24:01
Speaker 7: and you left them loaded.
24:04
Speaker 6: So that's extremely frustrating too.
24:07
Speaker 7: But I do think that the freshmen that are coming
24:11
Speaker 7: in and like the new players that we're seeing that
24:13
Speaker 7: haven't played a lot like William Patrick. He did pretty
24:17
Speaker 7: great in right field, like he had a couple of
24:19
Speaker 7: good plays out there where I was like, okay, look
24:20
Speaker 7: at him, and then like, I don't think we played
24:23
Speaker 7: bad till the end, Like that's when it started. I
24:26
Speaker 7: don't know how you have a lead like that and
24:28
Speaker 7: just managed to give it up. But you're right about
24:31
Speaker 7: the bullpen too. You didn't have caseon Evans. We all
24:34
Speaker 7: know Cooper Moore is out for the rest of the season,
24:37
Speaker 7: so you're missing two starters. The only starter you had
24:40
Speaker 7: was William Schmidt on Saturday. So people they were asking me,
24:44
Speaker 7: they're like, well, how do you feel about today? And
24:45
Speaker 7: I was like, well, our only starter is pitching today,
24:48
Speaker 7: so I feel like if we're gonna win one, maybe
24:52
Speaker 7: it's gonna be today. And then it just it was
24:54
Speaker 7: not and is It was extremely frustrating, but that again,
24:57
Speaker 7: like that's just kind of how the season has been going.
25:00
Speaker 7: And I tried to be like, look, I'm just gonna
25:02
Speaker 7: go out there and I'm gonna have fun and LSU
25:04
Speaker 7: can't hurt me.
25:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they hurt me.
25:07
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean even when you say it like that,
25:09
Speaker 5: it's like your only starter and people are like ahhaa,
25:12
Speaker 5: And I was like, no, like that's the guy, Like
25:14
Speaker 5: you have one starter left from your opening rotation, and
25:18
Speaker 5: you know, Zach Cowen's like one of those guys that
25:21
Speaker 5: could start, but you really don't have like the Oh,
25:23
Speaker 5: it's fine, we can go to this guy because he's
25:25
Speaker 5: gonna be the starter next year.
25:27
Speaker 7: Yeah about Cowen though, I actually kind of feel like
25:32
Speaker 7: at first Jay was going to try to save him,
25:36
Speaker 7: I think, and then we went to extras and he's like,
25:38
Speaker 7: I'm gonna throw up my try to win this game, right,
25:40
Speaker 7: So after this, so he went Gidri and then he
25:43
Speaker 7: put in Connor Binch and then Ethan Plog and I
25:45
Speaker 7: was like okay.
25:46
Speaker 6: And then after that I think he's like.
25:48
Speaker 7: Oh, we can win this game, and he went to
25:51
Speaker 7: font No and then he went Sering Santi and then
25:54
Speaker 7: I was like when they put Zach Cowen in, I
25:56
Speaker 7: was like, he's trying to win this game.
25:58
Speaker 5: Yeah.
25:58
Speaker 7: Unfortunately we couldn't get it done for him and we
26:01
Speaker 7: burned Cowen.
26:02
Speaker 6: But yeah, that's what I was gonna say about that.
26:05
Speaker 5: Yep. And you know Jay's told us before like he
26:08
Speaker 5: has a plan, but then when the game's on the
26:10
Speaker 5: line and there's a chance to win, he is going
26:12
Speaker 5: to go try to win that game, right, I mean
26:14
Speaker 5: and Cohen, like cal was working out what game was that.
26:20
Speaker 5: I think it was a Saturday, Like he was back
26:21
Speaker 5: in the bullpen on Saturday, so like he was going
26:25
Speaker 5: to go back to back days and like that's noting.
26:27
Speaker 5: We haven't seen a lot of So Jay was trying
26:29
Speaker 5: to do everything he possibly could and certainly didn't work out.
26:34
Speaker 5: And the Saturday game, it's like just that one, like
26:37
Speaker 5: the one inning you gave them hope, you gave them life,
26:40
Speaker 5: and you know, there's a couple of plays and you
26:43
Speaker 5: got an outfielder slipping out there trying to get the
26:45
Speaker 5: ball who played well as a young player, and you
26:48
Speaker 5: just felt it coming and you're just sitting there and
26:50
Speaker 5: you're like, oh my god, it's seven to two. There's
26:54
Speaker 5: no way they're going to give this back. And then
26:56
Speaker 5: like as soon as the pitch was thrown, you're like, well,
26:59
Speaker 5: that's gonna find the bad and it found it, and
27:01
Speaker 5: then it found his way out of the stadium, and
27:02
Speaker 5: as soon as that happened, they tied it up there
27:04
Speaker 5: at home. The momentum they're going up, you are probably
27:08
Speaker 5: waiting on the moment to happen, it happens, and that
27:11
Speaker 5: was a rap.
27:12
Speaker 8: Well that's the thing that we're talking about, Like, oh,
27:14
Speaker 8: it looked like Jay was going fort on Friday. He
27:17
Speaker 8: kind of had to, yeah, because I mean he was
27:19
Speaker 8: probably worried about Sunday, as we've all been worried about
27:22
Speaker 8: Sunday since Scuba More's been out.
27:23
Speaker 4: But if you would have told me, Lsu.
27:26
Speaker 8: Got after statistically the best pitcher in the SEC this year,
27:30
Speaker 8: chased them out of the game in two innings, put
27:32
Speaker 8: up a three spot in the first Like, oh, you're
27:34
Speaker 8: winning that game? Yeah, Like yeah, yeah, you're going for
27:36
Speaker 8: it on Friday. You trust William Schmidt because if you
27:39
Speaker 8: get the Friday game, you're like, Okay, can I win
27:40
Speaker 8: one of the next two.
27:41
Speaker 4: That's all I have to do to get this series.
27:44
Speaker 8: The fun part about this team is they keep finding
27:47
Speaker 8: fun of creative ways to lose games. Because you go
27:49
Speaker 8: back and look at the Texas A and M series.
27:51
Speaker 8: Your bullpen, I don't know if you guys realize this.
27:54
Speaker 8: Frank has put this out on Thursday. Your bullpen against
27:58
Speaker 8: Texas A and M gave up five runs total the
28:00
Speaker 8: entire series. So you're probably thinking, Okay, if your bullpen
28:05
Speaker 8: can do that again, you have a decent shot.
28:07
Speaker 4: They didn't.
28:09
Speaker 8: Oh you're not hitting, Hey you hit this weekend. Something
28:11
Speaker 8: else went wrong. If it's not one thing, it's another,
28:13
Speaker 8: Like Jake you were talking about. You know, good teams
28:16
Speaker 8: find ways to win. Bad teams find ways to lose.
28:18
Speaker 8: This team's finding different ways to lose games. It's it's
28:21
Speaker 8: always something else. Like, the only positive for me is
28:25
Speaker 8: one William Patrick looks really athletic. Mason Brawn is a
28:28
Speaker 8: really good first baseman. I don't care if they view
28:31
Speaker 8: him as an outfielder. He's not an outfielder right now. Yeah,
28:33
Speaker 8: he's a guy that is very stable. Before you over
28:35
Speaker 8: there first, Like, at this point, go ahead and put
28:38
Speaker 8: in the freshman. See what they got, because you've missed
28:40
Speaker 8: on every single transfer, every one of them. The only
28:42
Speaker 8: transfer you can consistently rely on is Cooper More and
28:45
Speaker 8: he's not available anymore. I mean that's it. So yeah,
28:48
Speaker 8: go ahead, get in the younger guys. Let's see what
28:50
Speaker 8: they got. Like they've they've made some plays. That's kind
28:53
Speaker 8: of the only positive I could take away from this
28:54
Speaker 8: team right now.
28:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like Omar Cerno went a for fourteen this weekend,
28:58
Speaker 7: had three home runs, six runs and six rbi. Like,
29:01
Speaker 7: if you can keep someone like that William Patrick, Mason Brawn.
29:05
Speaker 4: Even's been a good hit.
29:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, he looks good too, but he's been there for
29:09
Speaker 6: a couple of years.
29:09
Speaker 5: Look gonna be right on righty. But that's that's not
29:13
Speaker 5: like lefty lefty, I know. And you take him out
29:17
Speaker 5: in that situation after he hit a three run homer earlier,
29:21
Speaker 5: that one was.
29:21
Speaker 6: Surprising, questionable moves.
29:23
Speaker 5: And then first pitch swinging pop up and then in
29:26
Speaker 5: foul terri.
29:27
Speaker 8: It's not even that you pinched it Yeaman who had
29:29
Speaker 8: a three run home or like no offense to the guy,
29:31
Speaker 8: But like you put in Daniel Harden who hadn't hit.
29:33
Speaker 4: The ball this year at all. He's got under two
29:35
Speaker 4: hundred at.
29:36
Speaker 5: Less than twenty evats.
29:38
Speaker 4: You're gonna put there, Why you're gonna put him in there?
29:41
Speaker 5: Like that was like so questionable to me again for sure,
29:46
Speaker 5: and from somebody that had shown earlier in the game
29:48
Speaker 5: he was seeing it pretty well.
29:50
Speaker 4: You could say, oh, it's righty, righty, righty lefty.
29:53
Speaker 5: If it was lefty left and we'll have that combo.
29:56
Speaker 5: But righty righty happens too often for it to to
29:59
Speaker 5: take somebody's hit of three run homer.
30:00
Speaker 4: If you're hot, you're hot at that point. Who cares
30:03
Speaker 4: already ready, it doesn't matter.
30:05
Speaker 7: I just think that you do have some pieces that
30:08
Speaker 7: can make you have a bright future if you can
30:11
Speaker 7: put the rest of it together.
30:13
Speaker 6: But it's just we talked.
30:15
Speaker 7: Like I remember in the beginning of the season when
30:19
Speaker 7: I went out there for opening Day and I saw
30:21
Speaker 7: a lot of these guys and I was like, oh,
30:22
Speaker 7: they're all huge.
30:23
Speaker 6: But then I saw like Surna.
30:25
Speaker 7: I I saw him and I was like, the way
30:28
Speaker 7: you're built, You're built already, like you're in the MLB.
30:30
Speaker 7: So I knew he was gonna be a big piece
30:32
Speaker 7: on this team, and he has been, And like that
30:34
Speaker 7: is somebody that I really hope that Jay can keep.
30:38
Speaker 7: He needs to improve behind the plate, but like I
30:41
Speaker 7: just hope that his bat can stay here. And Mason
30:45
Speaker 7: Brawn and I do like will I do like the
30:47
Speaker 7: way William Patrick looked in right field too.
30:50
Speaker 8: He almost beat out a routine ground ball to short
30:52
Speaker 8: on Freddy yeahah, Like was I here, that's how fast
30:55
Speaker 8: the guy is, Like he can.
30:56
Speaker 5: Move yeahn And Broun. Definitely the highlights for Elish. It
31:00
Speaker 5: was nice to see Patrick in there. But those two
31:02
Speaker 5: guys means Bron's hitting. You got four hits at the
31:08
Speaker 5: top of the lineup. I mean certa like you said,
31:11
Speaker 5: I mean he's hitting. Basically he was. Oddly enough, one
31:16
Speaker 5: of his mistakes was on defense where he's so super solid.
31:20
Speaker 5: So not great again, this is where you're at right now.
31:25
Speaker 7: We are this this team between South Carolina and Missouri
31:30
Speaker 7: the SEC standing so.
31:32
Speaker 4: We're not at the bottom.
31:33
Speaker 6: We are second to tell you we're not at the bottom.
31:39
Speaker 4: By the way, I just I don't think the math
31:42
Speaker 4: is there.
31:42
Speaker 5: No, it's not.
31:43
Speaker 8: It's not like I just go ahead and say you
31:45
Speaker 8: had to get one, yeah, and you didn't, Yeah, and
31:48
Speaker 8: you had.
31:48
Speaker 5: Chance to get all three, should have just two?
31:50
Speaker 8: For sure, there's gonna be that person who who's the optimist,
31:54
Speaker 8: which I appreciate. They're gonna say, well, you know, technically
31:56
Speaker 8: you could. I get that, but you're gonna need a
31:58
Speaker 8: level of consistency and high play that you haven't had
32:00
Speaker 8: all your.
32:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean what tells you what sign do you
32:04
Speaker 5: see that makes you think this team is going to
32:07
Speaker 5: change its ways?
32:07
Speaker 8: Because I mean what most people say, you need thirteen
32:09
Speaker 8: conference wins minimum, Like you're thirteen with a good RPS.
32:13
Speaker 8: You're here at six right now when you're up. Yes, terrible, exactly,
32:15
Speaker 8: it's just not there.
32:16
Speaker 7: Like I will say that there was some fight this
32:19
Speaker 7: weekend until the end, like there was improvement. There was
32:22
Speaker 7: fight they produced at the plate the way that we've
32:24
Speaker 7: been asking them to the entire career year. You just
32:29
Speaker 7: still on the entire season or series. Had seven errors
32:33
Speaker 7: in the three games.
32:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, like.
32:36
Speaker 8: I just yeah, And it just seems like it comes
32:39
Speaker 8: in waves for this team, right, like you give up
32:41
Speaker 8: a run. It's like any anytime State did something positive,
32:44
Speaker 8: you gave up a crooked number and that in it.
32:46
Speaker 8: Like with this team, one mistake turns into four and
32:49
Speaker 8: it's been that way all year long.
32:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not making the postseason.
32:56
Speaker 4: Looks see they look Gulf South at the chat. Well,
32:58
Speaker 4: if you sweep the next three weekends, but.
33:00
Speaker 5: That's not you can maybe maybe Georgia, Florida and Georgia
33:08
Speaker 5: are still looming.
33:12
Speaker 9: There.
33:12
Speaker 4: You just have to win the team to win the
33:16
Speaker 4: SEC tournament.
33:17
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, it was bad. It doesn't look like
33:22
Speaker 5: it's gonna get much better.
33:23
Speaker 6: But hey, but we beat Tennessee.
33:25
Speaker 5: We did.
33:27
Speaker 4: We'll always have Tennessee at the Easter Sunday game was electric.
33:30
Speaker 5: It was, and hopefully for next season we'll have Sir
33:34
Speaker 5: Bron scored.
33:35
Speaker 8: We scored seven rounds in that in that uh the
33:38
Speaker 8: game against Old Miss and that inning. Remember that was
33:40
Speaker 8: a fun inning, I'll take it away.
33:42
Speaker 5: I also remember the defensive ending that they imploded on
33:45
Speaker 5: themselves in that series too, so did all right, before

34:51
Speaker 5: we come back here live from the Raisin Kin studio.
34:54
Speaker 2: Off the Bench, every one due every step.
35:24
Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Hester and Flynn, presented by Buyu Automotive.
35:31
Speaker 3: Juesesyju Say, okay.
35:44
Speaker 5: All right, welcome back in O t B. So on Friday,
35:52
Speaker 5: I gotta Taylor Sharp gave me the breakdown of Jordan Tyson,
35:56
Speaker 5: first round pick for the New Orleans Saints. Now y'all know,
36:02
Speaker 5: because we've talked about it to nauseum or tnauseous, as
36:07
Speaker 5: Flynn would say, I didn't at nausea at nausea. That's
36:13
Speaker 5: the way he said it. I was thinking defense over receiver,
36:20
Speaker 5: and I'm not gonna back down from that. I still
36:21
Speaker 5: think that way. But if it was going to be
36:24
Speaker 5: a receiver, I did not want it to be Cardinal Tate.
36:27
Speaker 5: I wanted to be Jordan Tyson. The only reason it
36:29
Speaker 5: wasn't Tyson at number eight was because of the injuries.
36:34
Speaker 5: You kind of need okay, he's gonna be okay, He's
36:39
Speaker 5: gonna be fine. And it wasn't even the game's missed.
36:41
Speaker 5: It was what the injuries were, the soft tissue stuff.
36:43
Speaker 5: But he had the Pro day by himself where a
36:47
Speaker 5: lot of teams felt okay after it as far as
36:51
Speaker 5: the injuries and where he was and if he was
36:53
Speaker 5: ready to go. So that does check that box. So
36:57
Speaker 5: I am glad that it was Tyson and not Tate
36:59
Speaker 5: or my Lemon. I felt like Jordan Tyson had the
37:02
Speaker 5: highest ceiling of any of the receivers. Again, there's some
37:04
Speaker 5: really good defensive players still available, but once Monsieur Delaye
37:07
Speaker 5: went at six, it felt like this was going to
37:10
Speaker 5: be the path for the New Orleans Saints. And so
37:12
Speaker 5: you go get a top tier talented receiver. Now he's
37:16
Speaker 5: got to stay on the field, and that is going
37:17
Speaker 5: to be the thing to watch in his rookie season.
37:20
Speaker 5: It's going to be the thing to watch in mini
37:21
Speaker 5: camps and training camp. Is how he can handle the
37:24
Speaker 5: grind of what it takes to be ready for an
37:27
Speaker 5: NFL season. Loved the scenes and we had a chance
37:30
Speaker 5: to catch up with him after he got drafted, and
37:32
Speaker 5: he was still very, very emotional, great young man, had
37:35
Speaker 5: a really good personality about him, and I mean just
37:42
Speaker 5: couldn't get it together in a good way like and
37:44
Speaker 5: in the best way possible, like even when he was
37:46
Speaker 5: with us like an hour after he got drafted. And
37:49
Speaker 5: so that was cool to see the scenes and what
37:50
Speaker 5: it meant to him there. And again, you're getting a
37:52
Speaker 5: six to two two hundred and five pound receiver. You
37:54
Speaker 5: absolutely had to get somebody in that mold and not
37:58
Speaker 5: somebody that was going to be your five ten, one
38:01
Speaker 5: hundred and eighty five pound receiver. So you check that box.
38:04
Speaker 5: And again I not Tatsy broke that pig down on Friday.
38:08
Speaker 9: Uh.
38:09
Speaker 5: The NFL comp for Jordan Tyson by Matt Miller, who
38:13
Speaker 5: does a really good job over at ESPN, was George Pickens,
38:16
Speaker 5: so he's that kind of receiver, Like that is somebody
38:19
Speaker 5: that is going to be aggressive when the ball's in
38:22
Speaker 5: the air. He's gonna go make plays, take chances with
38:24
Speaker 5: the ball in the air. And now you get another
38:27
Speaker 5: weapon for Tyler Shuck in the second round. And man,
38:32
Speaker 5: we when I interviewed this guy, he was hilarious. Christian Miller,
38:36
Speaker 5: defensive tackle out of Georgia. There he started listing out
38:41
Speaker 5: all the food that he wants to eat, but he
38:42
Speaker 5: knows he probably can't eat like Louisiana. He said, yeah,
38:47
Speaker 5: we gotta throw all over our Falcon stuff in the trash.
38:49
Speaker 5: We grew up Falcon fans. He goes now Unk like
38:51
Speaker 5: Unk's being hard headed, like he don't want to give
38:53
Speaker 5: up his Falcons fandom. Like he's He's like, I'll just
38:56
Speaker 5: wear your college jersey to the games. He's like, if
38:58
Speaker 5: you're on my dime, you'll be where we're in the
39:00
Speaker 5: Saints jerseys to the games. Like he was funny. So
39:04
Speaker 5: six three, three hundred and twenty pounds, but does not
39:07
Speaker 5: look three hundred and twenty pounds. And I mean that
39:09
Speaker 5: in the best way possible. It's not a sloppy three
39:12
Speaker 5: to twenty three twenty can look real bad. This guy
39:15
Speaker 5: does not look like that. He looks like he can play.
39:17
Speaker 5: So you're an odd front defense, and so you're gonna
39:20
Speaker 5: ask your defensive lineman to do a lot of different things.
39:23
Speaker 5: You're gonna ask him to play a zero nos head
39:26
Speaker 5: up over the center, and that's hard to do, but
39:29
Speaker 5: he can play that. And he also can play a
39:31
Speaker 5: four eye on the inside shade of the tackle, because
39:34
Speaker 5: that's what they're gonna ask him to do. That's what
39:36
Speaker 5: an odd front is going to look like more times
39:38
Speaker 5: than not. And so he gives you versatility. He can
39:41
Speaker 5: play in the middle and he can play that four eye.
39:44
Speaker 5: And this is a clear message too to Brian Berzee
39:47
Speaker 5: to get it going in the right direction and to improve.
39:52
Speaker 5: And Brian Berze was a first round pick. He can't
39:55
Speaker 5: just be pass rush guy like. He has got to
39:58
Speaker 5: be able to be in there and run down as well.
40:01
Speaker 5: So this is someone that can come and take his spot.
40:06
Speaker 5: You can play again, all the defensive tackles that you have, like,
40:10
Speaker 5: none of them really played well in that zero shade
40:13
Speaker 5: that we're talking about. A year ago. I thought that
40:15
Speaker 5: was something that needed to go up. And he can
40:18
Speaker 5: do that. So I know it wasn't necessarily like the
40:22
Speaker 5: biggest position of need. A lot of people pointing to
40:25
Speaker 5: other positions, but if you really pull it back and
40:28
Speaker 5: look at what you have and who it was, Taytay,
40:31
Speaker 5: Christian Miller can help you and could be an upgrade
40:33
Speaker 5: of what you currently have.
40:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he absolutely can.
40:36
Speaker 8: And you know the point I kind of made on
40:39
Speaker 8: Friday leading into Round two and three was all off
40:42
Speaker 8: season we talked about how good of a spot the
40:44
Speaker 8: Saints were in in Round one, right at eight. Overall
40:47
Speaker 8: the way the draft fell, though, you were kind of
40:50
Speaker 8: in a really good spot in realms two and three,
40:52
Speaker 8: like it would have been hard for the Saints to
40:55
Speaker 8: screw it up. Like I mentioned corner, I mentioned head Drusher,
40:58
Speaker 8: I mentioned offensive line on Friday, like defensive line, Like
41:01
Speaker 8: it was a position that I didn't even really consider
41:05
Speaker 8: a ton but when you look at the actual depth
41:07
Speaker 8: like you mentioned yeh, Brian Perci, who's underperformed.
41:10
Speaker 4: And then outside of that kind of a question mark.
41:13
Speaker 8: So I actually really loved the pick, but it was
41:15
Speaker 8: one of those where I was like, hey, you know,
41:17
Speaker 8: if basanthis falls to you, I'd love that because you
41:20
Speaker 8: could replace Caesar Ruiz.
41:21
Speaker 4: If there's a big name corner there. I love that.
41:24
Speaker 8: Like a guy like Colton Hood didn't go in the
41:25
Speaker 8: first round, like a lot of people thought it would
41:28
Speaker 8: have been hard for the for the Saints to mess
41:30
Speaker 8: up on Day two of the draft, and I don't
41:32
Speaker 8: think they did. I mean they filled a lot of
41:34
Speaker 8: positions of need.
41:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did think they I mean again, it's not
41:40
Speaker 5: just Brian Brazi. I mean this is like for Nathan Shepard,
41:44
Speaker 5: like you've got to make sure that you come Craig
41:46
Speaker 5: Devin got y'all, like, you got to make sure that
41:47
Speaker 5: you come correct. And he didn't have the best year
41:50
Speaker 5: a year ago. So this is somebody that can play
41:52
Speaker 5: all across the defensive line because they are that odd
41:55
Speaker 5: front team and so you can see him play multiple positions.
41:58
Speaker 5: And so you get Christian Miller out of Georgia, and
42:00
Speaker 5: there's some there's some people that I trust in this
42:03
Speaker 5: game that had him as a first round or back
42:05
Speaker 5: into the first round somewhere around twenty eight. So you
42:07
Speaker 5: get really good value at forty two for him. And
42:10
Speaker 5: then you go get his UGA teammate in Oscar delp
42:13
Speaker 5: which we'll talk about on the other side more OTB
42:16
Speaker 5: when we come back here from the Raisin Kines studio.
42:18
Speaker 5: Off the bench, all right, go to repelicanroof dot com
42:23
Speaker 5: website for Pelican Roofing. You see the five star reviews
42:26
Speaker 5: right there on the home page, and that's Google, that's Yelp. Right,
42:30

42:42
Speaker 5: roof repair, that's roof replacement. And that's in Lafayette m
42:45
Speaker 5: ban Rouge. And we always bring it up that they
42:48
Speaker 5: have locations in both. Well why does that matter? Well,
42:50
Speaker 5: it matters because they're involved in the local communities in
42:53
Speaker 5: Lafayette m Baton Rouge. Like they're not just like somebody
42:56
Speaker 5: that's in Baton Rouge that drives to Lafayette in Lafayete
42:59
Speaker 5: drive to Baton Rouge. There, they're involved. They have a
43:01
Speaker 5: community tab on the homepage of pelicanroof dot com because
43:05
Speaker 5: they got the Mother's Day roof giveaway right that's coming
43:07
Speaker 5: up obviously Mother's Day just right around the corner, the
43:10
Speaker 5: Veterans Roof Giveaway, the run with Rufus that we talked
43:13
Speaker 5: about a couple of weeks ago. They care about the community,
43:16
Speaker 5: they're involved in the local community, and you already know
43:19
Speaker 5: what they are in the roofing game, and go check
43:21
Speaker 5: it all out on their website, pelicanroof dot Com.
43:26
Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Hester and Flynn present it by
43:29
Speaker 1: Buyue Automotive, one of these.
43:44
Speaker 5: These all right, welcome back in OTB. You've got Will
43:47
Speaker 5: Helmer's joining us. When we come back from this break
43:49
Speaker 5: talk LSU baseball, we'll certainly dive back into the NFL draft.
43:54
Speaker 5: But there was some chatter in the chat about stevetsive
43:58
Speaker 5: tackles and maybe people catch strays just real quick, and
44:01
Speaker 5: we'll come back to this too. Last year, Nathan Shepard
44:04
Speaker 5: graded out at sixty two point three, Davon Gotchau graded
44:07
Speaker 5: out at fifty point five. Brian Berzi fifty two point
44:11
Speaker 5: nine was his grade overall last year. So it's not Strey's.
44:16
Speaker 5: There's some truth to it, and that's why the Saints
44:18
Speaker 5: make a move to select a defensive tackle at forty two.
44:22
Speaker 5: And we'll give the Saints kind of break down in
44:24
Speaker 5: the totality, we'll give the LSU Tigers that were drafted,
44:27
Speaker 5: also the LSU Tigers that signed as undrafted free agents.
44:31
Speaker 5: So all of that's going to be coming up in
44:32
Speaker 5: our number two and then, as I said, we're gonna
44:34
Speaker 5: talk a little LSU baseball with Will Helmers when we
44:37
Speaker 5: come back here in the Raizing.
44:37
Speaker 2: Kain Studio off the bench.
