1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,439
Speaker 1: All start to it. You want to present Off the

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,400
Bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Off the.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,839
Speaker 1: Bench with Jacob Hester and Bob Abert the pitch. Now

5
00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:16,760
here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: I I was fighting a sneeze that entire read.

7
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you. You didn't even sneeze after it?

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,359
Yeah I did, Oh you did. I literally just oh, bless.

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,199
Speaker 2: You, thank you.

10
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: I thought it.

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's too late. If I have to tell

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,000
you then it's had.

13
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:37,679
Speaker 4: I have a friend that he was on the I

14
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:39,960
think it was Today's Show and he'd been in the

15
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:42,399
he's been in the business forever, and he was doing

16
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:45,759
a live hit and they came to him and he

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,520
was just wasn't ready, like he done it a thousand times,

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,439
but he caught him off guard.

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 5: And we've all kind of been there. My man faked

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:52,479
the sneeze.

21
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,159
Speaker 4: It's smart live on the Today Show. Kind of faked

22
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:00,240
the sneeze, then went into his report and like later

23
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,599
always like yeah, that was just I wasn't ready fas smart.

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,879
Speaker 3: I mean that that's that Like that that in and

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,719
of itself is a veteran play it's like getting a

26
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,120
little you know, getting just enough of a grab on

27
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,040
the wide receiver as he goes by where they can't

28
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:17,159
they can't quite call it, but you manage to throw

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,280
off the route by by the Saint, a little time

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,000
by yourself, a little time maybe in the recovery, same

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,760
type deal. Welcome back hour two of O T b Uh.

32
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,280
Do we have those Brian Kelly postgame comments A landrum?

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 4: Yes?

34
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know. We need to get

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,359
into Saints and we will get there. Uh, but it's

36
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:40,280
the end of the Elshie football, right, I mean it's

37
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,799
the end of the regular season, and so a season

38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,400
in review, a a a post part, a post mortem

39
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:57,359
is I think appropriate here and when you take this

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,239
even though, okay, I want to be clear about this, Okay,

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,840
I loved Saturday. It was very fun watching that game

42
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:08,840
and and force myself to, like all week long, not

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,879
care about like playoffs or the future or any of

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,120
their buyouts or anything like that, and just watch a

45
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:17,159
great football game, see who's gonna win between two solid teams.

46
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun.

47
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:21,439
Speaker 3: Okay, But now it is time to engage in maybe

48
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:27,120
some of the off the field discussion and look at

49
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,000
the end of the year. Uh, well, there was a

50
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:36,400
lot of good, especially early on. Unfortunately, the year as

51
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:41,560
a whole. I do not believe gets a passing grade.

52
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:45,560
Uh if you wanted to be binary about it, you know,

53
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:48,759
is it a success or failure. It's a failure if

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,680
you want to go in more of maybe a grade scale.

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,599
I don't think it's like an F. I think it's

56
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:57,639
like a like A like a D plus. If C

57
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:03,759
is if C minus is technically passing. And unfortunately for

58
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,639
LSU again, I love the way they responded after three

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,800
game of lose drig finishing off the season against Bandy

60
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,159
and Ou. But unfortunately it's really hard not to sit

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,680
there and kick yourself a bit. As we now know,

62
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:22,000
had you beaten the Florida Gators, a game in which

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,800
you dominate the box score just couldn't score. Had you

64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,080
beaten the Florida Gators, you would actually be in Atlanta

65
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:31,120
right now over the Georgia Bulldogs. You'd be playing in

66
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,800
another SEC championship, which could have had the power. I

67
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:36,919
know that like ten and two, Like no, like we

68
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,800
said all year, nine to three was kind of the baseline.

69
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: You know, that's acceptable. How you fall right underneath that.

70
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,039
Speaker 3: But had you go nine and three to the SEC Championship,

71
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,199
then all of a sudden, that's a very successful You're right,

72
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,840
six and two for the third year.

73
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:50,879
Speaker 2: In a row in the SEC.

74
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,599
Speaker 3: And yeah, look the USC loss that sucks as well,

75
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,680
but probably nothing sucks worse than the than the Florida

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,919
one because what was online and whatever getting up so

77
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,639
that that that that's look my over take on this

78
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:08,000
year by how Brian Kelly laid it out before this

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,800
he started to judging on year three not a passing

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,960
grade failure.

81
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: But I like a.

82
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,319
Speaker 3: Lot of what I'm seeing going forward into the future.

83
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,000
I told you I think as LG defense could be

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,920
one of the best in the entire country next year.

85
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,680
It's full stop there. I don't even give you context.

86
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,199
I think that I can explained why if you want,

87
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240
and then and then offensively, if you get Nick Garrett

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,639
Nasmyer back, I think you should be very.

89
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,879
Speaker 2: Good on that side of the ball as well. Like

90
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:37,079
for all.

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,079
Speaker 3: The talk during the bad month of is he the

92
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,000
right guy? Is the program moving in the right direction?

93
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:52,160
I am still bullish on the future of of LSU,

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,439
though I don't know if I'm quite as bullish a

95
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,240
landra As is.

96
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: Uh, Brian Kelly himself.

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,759
Speaker 6: You know what camp you want to jump into, go

98
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,079
right ahead. You know, we had five freshmen and two

99
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:11,879
sophomores on defense today playing their tails off. So you know,

100
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:16,920
again we're taking receipts and you know, we'll see at

101
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,160
the National Championship. This team's building. We're excited about him

102
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:22,519
and we we really.

103
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: We're really proud of them. So but that will open

104
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:31,000
up the questions. Dude jays Man said, he's taking a receipts.

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, well it's been loud. I mean obviously.

106
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,639
Speaker 4: Three weeks they're losing streak, and then into the Vainderbilt week,

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,000
it's been loud, and then you had the the sound

108
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,040
out of the stadium where you know, they're chanting and

109
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:51,560
his name and not in a good way. And so yeah,

110
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,360
I think that he certainly, you know, heard all of that.

111
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:57,680
I think it's hard now in today's day and age

112
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,959
to not hear that. And so this is a team

113
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,160
that roster wise, didn't you know, do some of the

114
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,639
things that everybody else was doing as far as portal additions,

115
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,199
and you know, they were kind of worried about the

116
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:10,879
locker room and what it would do. And I think

117
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,680
now that you kind of see that it's not the

118
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,240
thing that you thought it was going to be as

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,720
far as it affecting the locker room. And you look,

120
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:18,160
you still want to bring in the right guys, but

121
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,399
you can bring in portal players and it's not going

122
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:21,920
to be this toxic environment.

123
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 3: Bottom line is, you got to pay to play. Dude,

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,560
look at everybody at the twinning. You gotta pay to play. Like, yeah,

125
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,040
you gotta make the right choices, but you gotta invest.

126
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: You do, and so you've got to bring in I

127
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,240
mean he said it the other day, but you have

128
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:41,120
to bring in multiple, multiple starters through the portal now players, Yes,

129
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,040
starters through the portal like LSU what how many I

130
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:48,120
mean how many guys they bring in this year? Right,

131
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,399
like eight maybe something like that around that number.

132
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:55,639
Speaker 3: And you gotta starter in pis who ended up being

133
00:06:55,639 --> 00:07:00,000
really solid for you.

134
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,639
Speaker 2: I name two more was George R. Gilbert was here

135
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,079
last year?

136
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: Right, No, so Gilbert Gilbert is kind of the weakly

137
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,439
of your defense.

138
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,319
Speaker 2: And then Daniels has been really good. But yeah, I

139
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,879
mean Gilbert is in two of three.

140
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,519
Speaker 3: I mean you have three starters, and two of them

141
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,800
ended up being pretty c. J. Daniels leading the way,

142
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,079
then Piez. But then there is a big gap. Yeah,

143
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:23,000
then there's a big gap to get to Gilbert. But

144
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:26,240
you see the audio sheet. Oh no, I did not

145
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:29,720
think there's a couple more. He like elaborates on it. Yeah,

146
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:34,120
it was very funny. Uh, I think. Uh. Gilbert asked him,

147
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:35,759
you know, what did you mean by the National Days?

148
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,319
I don't think.

149
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,959
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, was going press?

150
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah again, everybody can make fun of the journalists all

151
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:48,439
you want. You have to press him in his opening

152
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,680
statement after this year when he references see you in

153
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:56,120
the Natty. If nobody follows up like, thank god, somebody

154
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,399
had the balls to press.

155
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:58,279
Speaker 5: I'm not saying you don't.

156
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I'm not speaking to you. I'm

157
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:06,160
speaking to you know, everybody out there. Yeah, let's go

158
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:06,720
to Kelly Tin.

159
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,319
Speaker 6: Then look, listen, listen here here's my point. The standard

160
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560
is the standard here, right, the standard. I didn't come

161
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,000
down here to go eight and four. I'm not happy

162
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,560
about eight and four. Okay, nobody in that room's happy

163
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,319
about being eight and four. What they're happy about is

164
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,399
they've played well after a three game losing streak and

165
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:31,360
they bounce back, and this game teaches you lessons about

166
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,399
grit and toughness and perseverance and not giving up and letting.

167
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: Go of the rope.

168
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,039
Speaker 6: Right, They easily could have fractured, right. Instead, they stuck

169
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,440
together and they stayed committed, and they beat two teams

170
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,559
that were really good football teams in this league and

171
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,960
have pelts to show that they.

172
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: Are good teams.

173
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:57,519
Speaker 6: Right when I'm making that narrative up. So at the

174
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,000
end of the day, we want to win every game

175
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,600
we play, and the standard at LSU at Alabama, they're

176
00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:08,879
not happy with three losses. At Alabama, George is not

177
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:12,200
happy with with two losses. Nobody's happy when they lose

178
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,039
a game. But what I'm happy about in the short

179
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,200
term is the way our guys responded to adversity. That's

180
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,159
why I came in here and said, I'm proud of

181
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,559
our football team and the way they responded to adversity.

182
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: So I agree that wholeheartedly, right.

183
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: I think I think it's interesting in that it's a

184
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,559
bit of a nuanced conversation where we're, like he said,

185
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,879
in the short term, I'm very happy and I agree

186
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:42,360
with that. I also as a fan, AM very happy

187
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:45,360
in the short term with the finish of this football

188
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:48,440
team because it could have fallen apart each the last

189
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,799
couple of weeks and it could have ended up in

190
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:55,440
complete disaster mode. And you showed cultural, mental, and physical

191
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,399
toughness in your response to adversity. What is this sassy

192
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,960
answer here, Alda, I don't remember this. This is what

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,279
makes him so well? No, no, just play, Let's just play,

194
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,600
Let's let's ease. What what makes so confident about this?

195
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:08,399
Ferme going forward?

196
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 6: What else would you like me to give you? I mean,

197
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:15,000
seven of the seven there's seven players with one year

198
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:20,399
experience on defense that just beat the pants off of Oklahoma.

199
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:21,799
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

200
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 6: And they meet a really good Vanderbilt team the week before,

201
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,440
so you know they're five and three. We played a

202
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,600
lot of young players this year. You know, when you

203
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,600
take the body of work. You know, we had three

204
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,519
games that we had the lead late in the third

205
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,759
quarter that or we'd be talking about where's you know,

206
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,840
are we going to host? You know, so look, I

207
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,360
could I could go on and on about here's where

208
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:47,279
we're going to be in January. In January, well, I'll

209
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:51,759
back up yesterday at the Hotel, twenty one true freshmen

210
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,840
made the travel roster. Twenty one true freshmen. We're going

211
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:59,440
to introduce sixteen mid year freshmen into this roster. We

212
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,000
have preaty seven freshmen in winter conditioning for the first time.

213
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,039
That's what our roster looks like.

214
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:07,039
Speaker 2: That's exciting.

215
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 6: So when you're talking about the foundation for your program,

216
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,399
that coupled with having key players come back. They haven't

217
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,159
announced yet, but we're gonna have some key players decide

218
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:25,240
to come back. That's what's pretty exciting. And when we

219
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:30,120
are finished with this roster, this roster will compete at

220
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:30,840
the highest level.

221
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:35,039
Speaker 3: So Kelly feeling very confident that they finally now have

222
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:39,600
kind of hit on maybe in establishing a bit of

223
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:41,720
that base that they saw to over the last couple

224
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:44,240
of years, and now also more open and understanding of

225
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,919
you might have to do more than just filling in

226
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,519
the corners in the portal obviously.

227
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what they've done. And year one it

228
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,039
was fantastic. You hit on like all these people you

229
00:11:57,159 --> 00:11:58,559
brought in and it was good.

230
00:11:58,639 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: It was a core of your team.

231
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: Year two big miss I think in the portal, and

232
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:06,159
then year three I'd say more of a miss than

233
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,080
a hit, because that's what you try to do. You

234
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,120
try to fill in some of the spaces of where

235
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,879
you felt like you were deficient. And you know, sometimes

236
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,000
when you go in the portal, it's going to be

237
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,879
like that. I mean, there's going to be some teams

238
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:18,559
that have big hauls that just don't turn out. And

239
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,559
there's gonna be something like Arizona State. Now it's playing

240
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,360
for the conference championship after having you know, massive portal halls,

241
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,279
and so it is tough because it is a little

242
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,559
bit of speed dating. But you bring more players in,

243
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,039
you're gonna have a bigger hit rate. Now you might

244
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,919
have more misses, but you're gonna have a bigger hit rate.

245
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,600
And this team needs, like to go with Keys and

246
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,519
McKinley and bro and Woodland and Relaford on defense. They

247
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,840
need a red shirt junior. They need a fifth year

248
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:47,919
senior or whatever. You know what I'm saying. They need

249
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,399
like a guy that's been through the fire, a guy

250
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,600
that has played big time moments, a guy that is

251
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:55,200
a game changer, be it from a group of five

252
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,559
school waiting to get his opportunity out of Power four

253
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,480
or somebody else that's been in the Power four that

254
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,879
you know, oh you might maybe you played against them,

255
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,639
and like, hey, we need like Xavion Thomas. That's another

256
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,960
hit in the portal that we hadn't mentioned, but like

257
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:10,600
they played against him last year, Like, uh, he's from Louisiana.

258
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,399
We need him in the return game. And how much

259
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,200
better did you feel this year? You know, punt returning? Yeah,

260
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,120
I mean you have in years fast right like that?

261
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: In years?

262
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 4: That's an impactful player you need. That's who you need.

263
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,759
You need impactful players that where you were deficient, you

264
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,960
went out and not not just getting players out of

265
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,879
the portal because ah man, that guy he was a

266
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:33,519
former five star and it's a position where you've got

267
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:34,240
three other guys.

268
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,919
Speaker 5: You don't need that right now. You need guys where

269
00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:37,519
you're deficient.

270
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,039
Speaker 4: And this team has deficiencies certainly, right they lost four games.

271
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,799
Speaker 3: Attack the portal like you never have before.

272
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:47,759
Speaker 4: Hit on some starters, hit on some players that are

273
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:50,799
gonna be game changers, because it's no longer just filling

274
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,360
in the spaces. And I think with BK's comments, he

275
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,960
realizes that as well well.

276
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,519
Speaker 3: And you know, yeah, there's no bigger jump you take

277
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,720
between year one as a player or two as a

278
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,879
starter or somebody who plays a lot in the games,

279
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,240
and so it's always sucks when you're working through the

280
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,320
kind of growing pains in year one, but you've become

281
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:10,679
very excited about those guys going to your two. The

282
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,919
one thing I don't love is is kind of continue

283
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:17,000
to frame about the three losses or heavily late, because okay, yes,

284
00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:19,440
but you also won two games that, like, if you're

285
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,080
saying those could have gone the other way, you have

286
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,799
two wins that could have easily gone the other way.

287
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:25,080
So it's a watch at the end of the day.

288
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,399
But I guess to your point, you only really got

289
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,080
blown out once, but you should honestly get blown out nunts.

290
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:36,600
So I mean, that's a good made up word, isn't it.

291
00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:41,879
We talked about those three losses and one being a blowout. Yeah, yeah,

292
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:44,559
well I don't want to go, well, well, well another

293
00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:47,960
think actually, yeah, let's say this is Kelly nine, good call, Andre,

294
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,879
this is this is him.

295
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,759
Speaker 2: He was asked if those losses were humbling.

296
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: Humbling.

297
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,879
Speaker 6: Humbling would not be the word I would use. I

298
00:14:55,879 --> 00:15:00,320
would say that they lacked the execution necessary and we

299
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,240
needed it most, and so they were frustrating more than

300
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,320
they were humbling. Humbling losses are more like the Alabama game,

301
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:10,480
where you didn't play your best football. Those are humbling losses.

302
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,200
The three losses that we had outside the Alabama game

303
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,440
would be much more frustrating because he had a chance

304
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,720
to win those games and you really should have won

305
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:21,759
those games, including the USC game where we had the

306
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,600
lead up to the last possession. So those were frustrating

307
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,360
losses because we didn't execute when we needed to execute

308
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,600
and we were capable of doing so.

309
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: And then finally, here is Kelly on uh, this is

310
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,480
Kelly eleven. This is on him again being bullish on

311
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,240
the future regardless of what people may think.

312
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,759
Speaker 6: Big picture is, I'm excited about our future, regardless of

313
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,480
what people seem to think. And that's okay. Everybody's entitled

314
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:53,799
to their opinions, but nobody knows what it looks like

315
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,919
from the inside. I've got the best perspective of that,

316
00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:00,480
and you can ride away and have your own opinions,

317
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,000
and that's fine. That's why you guys have a pulpit

318
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:05,840
to do that. I have a better perspective of it.

319
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,840
I don't listen to what you have to say, and

320
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:11,799
we're going to build it the way we know that

321
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,919
we're going to build it. And I'll see you in

322
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:15,240
the National Championship game.

323
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,679
Speaker 3: They call that a double down? Is that a triple down?

324
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:23,480
I would down at that point. Yeah, Yeah, I'll see

325
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:28,879
you in the National Championship game, Jake. That is very

326
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:32,080
interesting audio to put out there. Brian Kelly's been in

327
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,480
this game for a long time. He understands how No,

328
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,559
exactly right, but you.

329
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.

330
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: He understands how the media game works.

331
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: Uh, he knows.

332
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,759
Speaker 3: And I think he also knows how kind of the

333
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:50,240
national media feel about him, whereverybody's always kind of waiting

334
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,799
in the wings just kind of like, you know, make

335
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,679
fun of him and crap on him. He just put

336
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,360
out some audio that he knows is going to be

337
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,080
loaded up in the chamber YEP for years if he

338
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,319
if he does not find a way to justify it.

339
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,759
So I think I think that's uh that that shows

340
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:10,720
you maybe a bit how confident he is in the

341
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:12,519
response that he saw out of this team, and how

342
00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:14,960
confident he is in kind of long term where this

343
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:15,640
team is going.

344
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's somebody that I think kind of going back

345
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,640
and recapping everything we've talked about here in this segment.

346
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,000
It's somebody that knows that they they didn't attack this

347
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,920
roster like they probably should have.

348
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 5: And I think that he knows that there is going

349
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:32,440
to be.

350
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 4: A great opportunity to add multiple, multiple players to this team.

351
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 5: We've talked about it, right, They've got money to spend.

352
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:39,599
He mentioned it.

353
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 4: He said, we're under the cap, like they are going

354
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:45,200
to add a ton of players to this roster, and

355
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,119
not just through this. Look, they still got a really

356
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,119
good high school recruiting class. Is it what it once was? No,

357
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,000
but it's still going to be a top ten. It's

358
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:54,839
going to have multiple players that play multiple years for you.

359
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,160
I think he's bullish because he knows they've got money

360
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,200
to spend. They are going to use that money to

361
00:18:01,279 --> 00:18:03,839
retain some players that normally would go to the NFL.

362
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,799
After last year, you lost players that probably shouldn't have

363
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:09,319
gone to the NFL, but they did well. This year,

364
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:11,079
you're gonna be able to retain a lot of those players,

365
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,559
including guys that are a key.

366
00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:14,799
Speaker 5: Different first round type guys.

367
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: You get to retain those guys, and then you also

368
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:21,839
get to go spend some money and add dynamic playmakers

369
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,119
to this roster with what That's why he keeps laying out,

370
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,720
in my opinion, the freshman. He keeps laying out the

371
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:28,920
five freshmen on defense and all the young players that

372
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,599
are traveling because he's going to pair what he brings

373
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,759
in with those players. Now, you're going to be graded

374
00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:35,759
incredibly hard.

375
00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: You already were.

376
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 5: It's lsu. That's that's the easy statement.

377
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: Like we know that.

378
00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 4: But when you say you know things like that, and

379
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,960
you mentioned national championships, like you're going to be held

380
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,440
to that standard, you already are here.

381
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: I mean, it kind of is what it is.

382
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:51,839
Speaker 4: So the players that you bring in you feel, you know,

383
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,799
you feel bullish right now, not even really knowing necessarily

384
00:18:54,839 --> 00:18:56,319
who those players are. You got a little bit of

385
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,839
an idea because coaches tall the transfer portal, everybody knows

386
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:03,039
who is going in for the most part. But you know,

387
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:05,000
when you say something like that, like you feel like

388
00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:06,119
you've got a pretty good.

389
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 5: Idea of who potentially you could bring in here.

390
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: I think it's gotta be Clemson. Yeah, let's go.

391
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:14,039
Speaker 3: Is the first one in Little Death Valley?

392
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,839
Speaker 2: So sad, so sad.

393
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so sad that here we sit and man

394
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:19,880
it bums me out.

395
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: Regular season's over.

396
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: So now that's kind of the conversation with you on

397
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:27,200
the edge of having to have Oh well, all right,

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the ninth ranked morning sports show in America.

423
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,359
Off the Bench.

424
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: Sall Dangerous. Welcome back to OTV. Adam says, Look, I

425
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,000
like this from Kelly. That's what I want my coach

426
00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:20,480
to believe. I mean, he has to think this right,

427
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:23,480
and he should. His team will be really good next year.

428
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:29,079
So again he's not necessarily saying next year to be fair,

429
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,880
for whatever that's worth. But yeah, of course you always

430
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,279
want your coach to Maybe I feel this internally, but

431
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:39,160
I do agree with you if you ask me if

432
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,559
I like it or not that he said in public,

433
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:42,279
I do. I do like it. I do like kind

434
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:46,119
of meeting that beast head on and then somebody else

435
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,920
I can't find if somebody else founded like well, he

436
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,119
kind of said the same thing about year number three, right,

437
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,839
and look what happened there.

438
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: But I don't.

439
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,319
Speaker 3: I don't really care, you know again, like I would,

440
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:57,960
I would rather the coach feel empowered and common enough

441
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:00,799
to take those shots than it kind of go half step,

442
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:10,079
and and and pussy footing around a lot, and then

443
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:13,240
and then Patrick's talking about how there's no way LSU

444
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:20,039
gets better. Uh, they're gonna lose four offensive linemen, lose

445
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,400
Kyrin Lacy, Mason Taylor, Josh Williams, and we're gonna get better.

446
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:29,359
I would say this, I think there's a very good

447
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,519
chance in Mary Jones stays. Uh, there seems to be

448
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:36,680
some momentum that Mason Taylor stays as well. And Uh,

449
00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:39,279
losing Josh Williams is awesome. In fact, what are you awful?

450
00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:42,519
I mean one of ourn no, one of the one.

451
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 5: I was like, are you on that train like all

452
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:45,400
these other fools.

453
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: One of the game notes I didn't get to was

454
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,279
he was again sneaky good. The first guy never got

455
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,880
him down this last game. He had a lot of

456
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,480
big conversions. Uh. But like, I mean, come on, look

457
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,799
at Kaden Durham going into year two, like he has

458
00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:01,519
like superstar potential with more experience.

459
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 4: I look, you're bringing in the number one running back

460
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,640
in the Cory, You're bringing the.

461
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: Number one in the country.

462
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:09,839
Speaker 3: Who knows if you go portal rounde. I mean, maybe

463
00:23:09,839 --> 00:23:12,079
Cale Jackson now finds his way a bit too, Like

464
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,000
I'm more worried about losing Josh for a leadership standpoint

465
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:22,920
than almost anything else. Uh And then like, Okay, yeah,

466
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,119
you're losing alignment, but you're gonna.

467
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,519
Speaker 2: Get like it's it's it's it's a given.

468
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 3: Take, it's how it happens, dude, Like, I don't know. Actually,

469
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,960
the main the main point is that we're talking about

470
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:39,119
offense the defense. The defense again could be not good

471
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:44,160
but great next season. But these coaches, if you give

472
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,960
them dudes, which I believe you will this offseason, which

473
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,599
you have some young dudes that are only gonna take

474
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,640
massive steps forward, this defense could be one of the

475
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,480
best in the I mean the emergence of Devon Keith,

476
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,799
are you kidding me? Him in weeks and then you

477
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:02,240
get a couple more weeks brothers back in the mix

478
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:06,720
as well. You're losing Zi, Rightzi's done.

479
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, Alexander's done. Which that you know, that's you're gonna

480
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,160
have to make him for that.

481
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: That's a big boy, that's a big one. He's one

482
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:14,440
of the more.

483
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,319
Speaker 4: Underrated players in the country. Like I that's not just

484
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,519
me saying that, like talking to different scouts. Yeah, and uh,

485
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,480
you know Jim Naggy, executive director of the Senior Bowl,

486
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:26,240
talking with him like he is.

487
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:31,039
Speaker 5: He is a very early draft grade type guy.

488
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: I'm not saying like first round or anything, but he

489
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:35,359
is going to be drafted in the first three rounds

490
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,279
and play for a very long time.

491
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 7: Uh.

492
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 3: Pat says, we got crapped on all up front all

493
00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:42,400
year year long, and I'll tell me it's gonna better

494
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,839
with absolutely no supporting data, facts or feelings even know.

495
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,759
I mean, I I I Okay. First off, you didn't

496
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:50,680
get crapped on all year upfront like that's that's insane.

497
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,559
You did you You're not a good run blocking team,

498
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,799
still don't know why, but you're like the best pass

499
00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:59,079
blocking team I've ever seen. Uh So you'll you'll get worse.

500
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,880
You will be a worst pass blocking team. This is

501
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,680
objectively true. Uh but you also have a quarterback that's

502
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:08,960
a year more experience. It can better protect himself with

503
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,480
decision making and whatnot. I don't expect you to be

504
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:13,640
an awful pass blocking team. I mean, I look at

505
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,599
how these young guys pass block, and it speaks to

506
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,759
Brad Davis's ability to develop guys and and and and

507
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:21,680
teach him how to do that, and if you're that

508
00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:24,000
bad at run blocking, then you might get better there.

509
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,720
So like I mean, it's it's these things are not

510
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,880
quite as clear cut as you're trying to make them

511
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,519
out to be. And I think there are, uh, there

512
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:41,160
are reasons to feel to feel bullish about about next season.

513
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,079
And look, nothing's more important than quarterback, bottom line, nothing's

514
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:47,200
more important than the quarterback. And so if you get

515
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,400
Garrisonssemeyer back fresh off of what will likely end in

516
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,319
a four thousand yard season after the bowl game, damn

517
00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:59,079
near thirty touchdowns. Okay like that that that that's something

518
00:25:59,079 --> 00:26:02,240
that is going to have a massive Uh, that's the

519
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,279
biggest impact is just getting the quarterback back.

520
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 5: Oh, that's where everything's stick.

521
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: I would I would, I would agree that I actually

522
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,599
don't think they'll be good next year. If Garrett Nessmeyer

523
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,720
doesn't return, like then I could agree that hoping for

524
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:18,759
them to be better next year is probably a step

525
00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:20,680
too far. Well, but if us comes.

526
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,319
Speaker 4: Back, now you know, there's a couple of different things

527
00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:25,480
that are pointing to him coming back. You know, Ricky

528
00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:29,640
Collins enters the transfer portal, that's you know, a backup

529
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,200
quarterback that probably understands what's going to happen next year. Yeah,

530
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,359
so he's in the portal. Like Garrett ness Meyer's dad

531
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,079
is an NFL quarterback coach. He's been an offensive coordinator. Like,

532
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:46,279
there's things that that he knows what you know and

533
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,200
what it takes to be NFL ready. And so if

534
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,279
he didn't think his son's ready to go to the NFL,

535
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:54,279
if he thinks he can come back, and you know

536
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,480
the old Bill Parcells like he never wanted a quarterback

537
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,839
that only started one year in college. Yeah, just did

538
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,640
not want it. He wanted at least two. I would

539
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,200
assume that neus Meyer's dads can be like, hey, so

540
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,519
look right now, if you come out, you'll get drafted

541
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:11,839
in the first two rounds. I mean that's that's great.

542
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,839
But if you come back and if you get better

543
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,039
on those things that during you know, one stretch of

544
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:20,559
the season you struggle with, you might be the first

545
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,480
one off the board. Like right now, mel Kiper's got

546
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,559
you top five. But if you come back and you

547
00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:27,440
have the season that I think you can have, you

548
00:27:27,519 --> 00:27:30,240
might be the first one off the board. So there's

549
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:33,160
a lot of things pointing to Neussmeyer coming back as well.

550
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 7: What he said postgame, he said, we wanted to send

551
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,759
these seniors out on the right way. This was their

552
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,359
last game in Tiger Stadium and all that never said

553
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,279
we said there, And.

554
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,039
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it.

555
00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 3: It's not the dame of a deal, but.

556
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 7: Like that, reading between the lines a little bit, he said,

557
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,079
you know, I didn't I didn't want to send these

558
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,440
seniors out with me sitting on the sidelines because of

559
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,400
an injury. It's part of the reason I came back

560
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,240
in this game. So, you know, just just little things

561
00:27:54,279 --> 00:27:54,599
like that.

562
00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: And so you mentioned the running back position, and you're right,

563
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,960
like Hayden Durham over five and a half yards per

564
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,839
carry this year, really looks like he is lined up

565
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:06,279
to be a superstar potentially next year you have Barry

566
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:09,000
coming in. We'll see what happens with Cale Jackson. Certainly,

567
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,480
you know we were all expecting.

568
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,559
Speaker 5: More this year.

569
00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:14,839
Speaker 4: Only three point six yards per carry. I mean, think

570
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,519
about how long couldgo? This feels John Emery at one

571
00:28:17,559 --> 00:28:19,920
time this year was you know, somebody that we were

572
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,880
excited about after the USC game. But you bring in backs,

573
00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,519
that's not going to be a worry there because of

574
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:28,440
who you have coming back. And I know there was

575
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,000
some Oregon Caden Durham stuff out there. He kind of

576
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,200
shut that down on Twitter himself. Receiver wise, all right,

577
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,359
you expect to get Aaron Anderson back. The potential for CJ.

578
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:44,079
Daniels is what BK said a week ago. If you

579
00:28:44,119 --> 00:28:47,759
can get Mason Taylor back Xavion Thomas, can you get

580
00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:50,200
Chris Hilton Junior back for another year?

581
00:28:50,359 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 5: How much can you develop trades Green in that role.

582
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,559
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about lshite receiver. Dude, I don't care

583
00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:01,039
who you're losing. You're gonna find somebody like I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,

584
00:29:01,079 --> 00:29:03,039
I'm I'm really not. I think I think you're I

585
00:29:03,079 --> 00:29:05,599
think you've proven over time there that you know how

586
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,920
to recruit as long as you got Quartes Hankedon. I

587
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,039
A'm worried about receiver. I guess that would be the

588
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:13,920
shortest way to say that if Handon left, if he does,

589
00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:16,319
if that happens, that'll be a pretty.

590
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,079
Speaker 2: Big blow to you have to overcome.

591
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:20,599
Speaker 3: Uh So, yeah, even if, like I agree, you laid

592
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,079
out some of the names who it's gonna be, But

593
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,759
like again, I actually feel very very comfortable and uh

594
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:33,519
and in that position group, judge me off. Year three says,

595
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:36,119
say my name, it's a direct p quote quote PK quote.

596
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,160
Year three is an absolute failure. So I feel, bolsham,

597
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,640
you're for it completely fair perspective. It's completely fair perspective,

598
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,920
and I think I laid out my reasons why. But

599
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,359
if you disagree like I, I I understand. I mean,

600
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,880
for me, it is mainly quarterback and defense. If you

601
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,240
want to be really succinct about it, I think the

602
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,599
defense is going to take a huge leap next year.

603
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,200
You can, uh yeah. It talked to me about how

604
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,240
statistically they weren't very impressive this year, and I understand that,

605
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,440
but I feel like you really maximized what you had

606
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,880
this season, and so if you give them better ingredients,

607
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,359
what can they cook up? And I think that's gonna happen.

608
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,799
So that's why I would footballs. But you know, I

609
00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:17,119
don't know.

610
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm just feeling great because a couple of wins.

611
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,119
Speaker 4: This is from DJ Trump and the chat. I think

612
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,599
he means past blocking. He says, Kaden Durham has major

613
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,960
issues run blocking. He's not fullback, he's not run blocking.

614
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,400
I think he means pass blocking. That's why he wasn't

615
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,400
in there as much as he should have been. I mean, yeah,

616
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,240
Josh Williams is certainly the more trusted pass protector every

617
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:39,119
major third down.

618
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 5: That's one of the reasons why he was in there.

619
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: But I will I will tell you this, the biggest

620
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,480
thing that changed for me at the running back position

621
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:48,000
year one a year two, it wasn't how.

622
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 5: To run the football. You were born to run the football.

623
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:50,799
Speaker 3: You can't.

624
00:30:50,839 --> 00:30:51,839
Speaker 5: I've always believed that.

625
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,839
Speaker 4: That's why, you know, that's why the most athletic on

626
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,240
of the team doesn't always play running back. You can

627
00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:57,799
always you can either do it or you can't. You

628
00:30:57,839 --> 00:30:59,480
can read a zone or you can't. You can read

629
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,240
a power you can't. So like that part of it.

630
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:03,240
I really truly feel like you're born for a portion

631
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:05,759
of it. Can you get better at sure, But Kayden

632
00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:09,079
dorm knows how to run the football. It's in past protection.

633
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,200
It's understanding your past protection. Now it's a little bit

634
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,000
easier now than it was, Like they're not doing a

635
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:18,880
lot of cross key stuff. But the most confidence that

636
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,920
you'll get at your time in college football is past protection.

637
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,880
You're one to year two, you're one. You just you

638
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,160
you memorize who you have. You kind of know you

639
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,839
know who you have. You're basically just like play watching

640
00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:34,359
to see who's coming, like, oh, that's my guy.

641
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:34,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

642
00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 5: Year two, you know who your guy is.

643
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: Yea.

644
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: Year two you understand the assignment. You're three four, you

645
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,079
start to understand everybody's assignment. You understand you know, coverages

646
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,920
and where they're at on the field, where they can

647
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,119
come from, where they can't come from. But year two,

648
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,960
it's no longer memorizing maybe sort of kind of who

649
00:31:54,119 --> 00:31:54,759
my guy is.

650
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:57,039
Speaker 5: You know who it is. So it's not that he

651
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:57,799
can't do it.

652
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,519
Speaker 4: I think confidence and at least from me and every

653
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:03,160
other back then, I've talked with that confidence in pass protection.

654
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,559
You know, year one, you just don't have it. You

655
00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:07,160
don't have it. You weren't asked to do it in

656
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,119
high school. In high school, you were free released because

657
00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:10,279
you were the best player in the field and they

658
00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:13,519
were trying to get you the football. So I don't

659
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:16,319
know if Kayden dorm will ever be an elite pass

660
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:20,359

Speaker 3: Oh what adding y'all?

687
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 2: Welcome back to otb uh.

688
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: The New Orleans Saints fall twenty one fourteen to the

689
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,039
Rams yesterday and to this pointy game for multiple reasons.

690
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,680
Uh it was a late afternoon games who had already

691
00:33:57,759 --> 00:33:59,920
known that the Atlanta Falcons had dropped.

692
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,799
Speaker 2: Uh, therefore your yeah yeah to Jake's boltz.

693
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:07,519
Speaker 3: I know, Jake, you were your two loves Kirk cousins

694
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,199
in the Bolts doing battle. Only one could win. I'm

695
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,519
sure you were actually happy. Was it was the Bolts though,

696
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:20,440
I'm four passes, but so they know so so going

697
00:34:20,519 --> 00:34:22,960
into the game the Saints, you know what's on the line.

698
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:25,760
You win that game all of a sudden, your one

699
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,880
game behind in the NFC South. And it started so

700
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:34,719
well offensively, Jake, you were so efficient early on moving

701
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,159
the ball, a great run in pass mix, Kamer making plays,

702
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:45,000
Taysom Hill making plays, not having to rely on Derek Carr,

703
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:46,599
Like you can't rely to Derek Carr, right, everything has

704
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:48,039
to be working around him, and then you hope that

705
00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:51,079
he supplements and and he fills in around the edges.

706
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:55,480
Without a doubt, the biggest crux point of the game

707
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:59,360
just feels like the illegal man downfield, well Ima just

708
00:34:59,519 --> 00:35:01,960
barely getting a little two out over his toes trying

709
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,039
to fire off, tries to scramble back immediately to the

710
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:08,280
line of scrimmage, but it takes a touchdown off the board.

711
00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:11,159
You then miss the field goal to follow up, and

712
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:13,239
what should have been a ten to nothing game is

713
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,119
three to nothing. And that was enough to open the

714
00:35:16,159 --> 00:35:20,400
door for a Hall of Fame quarterback in Matt Stafford

715
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,840
and Nikua just making seven thousand catches and sew, maybe

716
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,440
it just opened the door enough for them to come

717
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,119
back and find a way to win that game twenty

718
00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:28,679
one fourteen.

719
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, and defensively you did enough, and you mentioned Matthew Stafford,

720
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:34,079
I mean, but you still you kept him in check

721
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:36,519
for the most part, and pookin Nakua did have five

722
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:38,320
catches and they all kind of came at the same time.

723
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,719
But I still think you did a really nice job

724
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,239
five for fifty six on him.

725
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 5: You look at Cooper Cup only three for seventeen.

726
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 4: I mean, the defense did their job, you know, obviously

727
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,039
had the Robinson the long play there, and you're not

728
00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:52,079
expecting that to come from him. He's been good this year,

729
00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:54,199
but you're expecting that maybe to come from Pookin Naku

730
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,440
or Cooper Cup, even Kyraen Williams. I know he got

731
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,840
over one hundred, but I mean, you've been poor in

732
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,559
your rush defense all season long, and you did well enough.

733
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:05,920
He only got one oh four on the ground. So

734
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,760
the defense gave you every opportunity to go win the game.

735
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,159
Just offensively, you couldn't you mentioneding, you know, take a touchdown.

736
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,199
Speaker 3: Off the board.

737
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 4: That's that's always going to be just a backbreaker. Like

738
00:36:17,159 --> 00:36:19,440
were talking to l SU LSU Florida. You take that

739
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:22,719
touchdown with the Karen Lacy offensiveass interference off the board,

740
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,519
you settle for a field goal. What's that game look

741
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,159
like if you keep that touchdown on the board. And

742
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:29,639
so when you take points off like that, it's hard

743
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:32,199
to come back from. And in the second half, the

744
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,239
Rams made the adjustments on offense and defense that you

745
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,519
did not make because you really you it was sixth

746
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:41,559
to nothing, but you dominated and had fuel control of

747
00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:43,639
the first halfic you know, had a little bit of

748
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:46,480
an A and M phil to it. But and then

749
00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:48,960
Taysum goes down. It's like, man, he was your your

750
00:36:49,039 --> 00:36:52,119
leading receiver. There were things that you know he does

751
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,880
not only when he's getting the ball, when he's not

752
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,559
getting the ball, that you just you lose when he's

753
00:36:56,599 --> 00:37:00,159
not in there. And Derek Carr was too much, too

754
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,639
much check down Charlie, I mean five yards per attempt. Yeah,

755
00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:06,880
like when you throw about thirty seven times and you

756
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,239
only have one hundred and eighty.

757
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,079
Speaker 3: Four yards to show for it like that, and that's

758
00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:12,599
with a pretty deep I mean, how far was the

759
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:13,519
MVS touchdown?

760
00:37:13,559 --> 00:37:17,079
Speaker 2: That was also not crazy, but it is kind it

761
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:18,639
is kind of funny. I was waiting. I was kind

762
00:37:18,679 --> 00:37:19,440
of joking, like.

763
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 3: Man, we haven't even seen our we haven't even seen

764
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,840
our MBS yet, And then it actually happened. I was like, well,

765
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,440
be damn bro. Yeah, he actually has been pretty good.

766
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:30,519
But look you Neil, I mean, Taysom going down, are

767
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:33,159
you kidding me? We've seen it already this year.

768
00:37:33,519 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

769
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 3: Maybe. Eric McCoy is the only other biggest achilles heel.

770
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:41,000
The way that Clint Kubiak uses him really has fulfilled

771
00:37:41,079 --> 00:37:47,000
all of the used chick very kind of reductive parallels

772
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:50,039
that we made before the season started, and when you

773
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:53,039
lose taste him on this team, it just nothing works

774
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:55,119
as well. And it looks like he's going to be

775
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:58,119
out for the year. The fears that this season any

776
00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:00,880
knee injury, it did not look great. Thankfully tire Matthews

777
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,239
injury now that series, but unfortunately this did kind of

778
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,519
feel like the final stand maybe for the great hope

779
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:09,440
of the season and making something out of it. I

780
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,639
think there's going to be a very interesting and nuanced

781
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,159
conversation about this offense. I wonder what happens to Koubek.

782
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,320
I really believe in him. I don't know if there's

783
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,440
aay of these surprives. Kind of the same thing with Rizzy.

784
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,440
I mean, again, this is not a bad game from

785
00:38:26,519 --> 00:38:30,159
this Saints team. They made a few too many mistakes

786
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,800
to win, but it didn't I don't know, it didn't

787
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,559
feel like it is asked or like, I don't know

788
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:37,880
what's gonna happen with Rizzy either.

789
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,519
Speaker 2: This probably holds.

790
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: Him back from being able to get, you know, the

791
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:45,079
job as a bridge guy or anything else like that.

792
00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:49,480
But it's just disappointing because they played well, and they

793
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:53,559
and they definitely played well enough to win just a

794
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:56,920
couple too many stakes and then again some bad injury luck,

795
00:38:57,039 --> 00:39:00,719
which has kind of been the themes of the entire

796
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,639
year up to this point.

797
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you feel bad, you know, obviously for interim coach,

798
00:39:07,199 --> 00:39:09,480
and he's got the momentum going. It's like you kind

799
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,760
of have to be perfect if you want an opportunity

800
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,599
to go get this job. And so like now you

801
00:39:16,679 --> 00:39:19,039
look up and this was the portion of the schedule

802
00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:21,199
where and you still got one more of these type

803
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:23,440
of games that we kind of laid out though you

804
00:39:23,519 --> 00:39:24,679
got the Giants coming up.

805
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:26,039
Speaker 5: That game is going to be on the road.

806
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:28,159
Speaker 4: But then it kind of gets back into you got

807
00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:30,000
the Commanders and you gotta go on the road to

808
00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:30,920
lambeau Field.

809
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: You do get the.

810
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,119
Speaker 4: Raiders, but then you got to play the Buccaneers on

811
00:39:34,159 --> 00:39:38,119
the road. So there's still some difficult games where you're

812
00:39:38,159 --> 00:39:42,440
going to be an underdog, and we keep having the

813
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,719
conversation because the division is so bad. You kind of

814
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,719
get excited and if you'd have won this game, you're

815
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,119
sitting there, I.

816
00:39:48,039 --> 00:39:49,519
Speaker 3: Mean, and you're five to seven, you're in it.

817
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,599
Speaker 4: But now like just with one game, with what you

818
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:54,280
have coming up, you feel like your chances are probably gone.

819
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I agree. So very disappointing. Somebody says,

820
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,639
maybe don't a teap out, maybe don't base your offen

821
00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:06,320
during an injury prone thirty four year old. Okay, fair, fair, fair,

822
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,239
But when it works, it's awesome. You know, when it's working,

823
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,039
it's awesome. So we'll continue that. Now, you just got

824
00:40:13,079 --> 00:40:14,960
to kind of take this season as it comes. You know,

825
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,199
been lose, you want them to win. It's it's it's complicated.

826
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 4: Look, and I love Taysom Hill. I think Key is

827
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,519
like everything that you would want in a football player.

828
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,000
And there's you know, portions of his game that really

829
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:30,840
honestly are like nobody else. I mean, he is a

830
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,679
unicorn and then aspect, but anytime that he's your leading

831
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,079
receiver with thirty seven yards, that's not good. That that's

832
00:40:38,119 --> 00:40:39,639
not what you and not when you're throwing the ball

833
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,000
thirty seven times, you don't want your you know, emergency

834
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:47,440
quarterback slash tight end, fullback, running back to be your

835
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,159
leading receiver. And so his injury, it already has shown

836
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:54,199
this year, like you mentioned t it's already shown like

837
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,280
there's too much reliance on Taysom Hill. Like Taysum's awesome,

838
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,519
and Taysom could be a real weapon, but when you

839
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:04,360
have to count on him so much, the offensive philosophy

840
00:41:04,639 --> 00:41:05,800
is not where it needs.

841
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 3: Well, that's where we get back to Loomis in the

842
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:14,679
front office. Yeah, you you have given Kubiak like Dorito's.

843
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:21,239
You know, you get like Dorito's like overprocessed cheese, baloney

844
00:41:21,519 --> 00:41:25,000
and been like, hey, make something impressive, and I actually

845
00:41:25,039 --> 00:41:27,119
think he has, Like if you ate what he cooked,

846
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:30,119
you're like, this tastes better than it should.

847
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 2: But it's it's not going to be enough in the end.

848
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 3: Last thing, completely random, Brandon Fisk made one of the

849
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,159
most athletic plays I've ever see that that will not

850
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,400
count that fumble recovery where he hits the knee power

851
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,599
slide into immediately popping up on his feet and then

852
00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:47,480
finding a way to cut back and finish in the

853
00:41:47,519 --> 00:41:47,960
end zone.

854
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:50,679
Speaker 2: Like that. Dude's a freaking beast.

855
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 3: Uh. You see everybody hating on Miles Frasier right when

856
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,079
Miles basically told him like, hey, that dude's a dog. No, okay,

857
00:41:58,119 --> 00:42:02,280
that dude is a dog. Five Okay. Sometimes you gotta.

858
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 5: Give up at Western Michigan.

859
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to.

860
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 3: Give credit where credits due and brain fisk is a

861
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,039
doll All right, when we get back, let's close that

862
00:42:11,079 --> 00:42:12,000
hour to of O TV.

863
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:13,199
Speaker 1: Off the bench.

864
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,039
Speaker 3: G e a ux Tommy's dot Com. G e a

865
00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:22,079
u x Tommy's dot Com. Tommy's Windows Doors insiding. You

any type of door, you need to invest with Tommy's

868
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:31,880
In the trade, I said invest because these upgrades are

869
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,639
such that they lead to savings, right, whether it's keeping

870
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:38,280
the cold air in, the hot air out, or vice versa. Uh,

871
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,679
these are investments in your home that are not only

872
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,920
aesthetically pleasing to the eye based on what style you choose,

873
00:42:44,159 --> 00:42:49,440
but functionally uh productive, right, So they save you money

874
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,119
over time eventually pay for themselves over time. So if

875
00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:54,920
you need to schedule reliable window installation, you need Tommy's

876
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,159
Windows Doors inciting.

00:43:33,559 --> 00:43:36,000
off the Bench with Hester and t Bob over.

891
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 3: Welcome back eventually. I mean a lot of I do

892
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,320
want to touch on the Pelicans sub next Eric. There

893
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:46,800
an abject disaster and it's like it is, you know, unfortunately,

894
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,599
this feels like the Infra Griffin Company.

895
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 2: Don't Scott to be.

896
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 3: But but but Jake, you tease me right before we

897
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,960
came back. I did, uh Brett Bilima Uh speaking to Lane.

898
00:43:57,039 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 4: Yes, I don't know if you saw, but Lane Kiffin

899
00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:01,880
tag the call football playoff and then he gives you,

900
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,079
like all these different metrics of what ole Miss has

901
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:07,679
done this year, who they beat, who they beat beat,

902
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,599
and like, you know, all these different things.

903
00:44:09,639 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: I'll say this real quick on Ole Miss when it

904
00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:15,320
comes to the SEC three loss teams. I do think

905
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,800
after talking out objectively, they they have the best. Well,

906
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,360
I could craft an argument of South Carolina, but like

907
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:24,519
if you've just been Old Miss and Alabama, ole Miss

908
00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:27,039
actually has a better resume. I don't know why Alabama

909
00:44:27,119 --> 00:44:29,440
is getting pumped up ahead of them because.

910
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 5: They're you know, Alabama.

911
00:44:30,679 --> 00:44:34,039
Speaker 4: So Brett Blima Bert our guy who's coaching at Illinois now,

912
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:36,599
you know, spend time in the SEC. Well, he quote

913
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,119
tweets Lane's whole deal, you know, explaining why they should

914
00:44:40,119 --> 00:44:42,440
be in the playoff, and he said I couldn't agree more.

915
00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 3: Lane.

916
00:44:43,039 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 4: Here's a thought for the college football playoff and he

917
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,639
tags both Ole Miss number thirty one strength of schedule,

918
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,639
has three losses to unranked Kentucky Florida and eight and

919
00:44:50,679 --> 00:44:54,760
four LSU. Illinois has number thirty in strength of schedule

920
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,320
and has three losses to number one Oregon, number four

921
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,320
Penn State, and in one position game to Minnesota. How

922
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,239
about we just take the twelve best teams and see

923
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,239
where it goes. I like the idea.

924
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: I mean, look right, yeah, I think. God, they gotta

925
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,559
be kicking themselves in the minnesot loss, otherwise Illinois might

926
00:45:16,559 --> 00:45:20,239
be sneaking in there as well.

927
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 5: I have no state too, by the way, I mean

928
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:24,400
watch that game.

929
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 2: Wait what he oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

930
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 5: Yees Penn State.

931
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure, h Taylor. You think Alabama's resuming somehow

932
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:32,519
veteran myths.

933
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 7: No, but I think South Carolina is just objectively better.

934
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,079
Speaker 2: Okay, so right now I agree with you.

935
00:45:39,159 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 3: My problem is that it's kind of at odds with

936
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,519
a lot of things I said about why do we

937
00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:44,880
play the games? But if I wanted, but if I

938
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,679
wanted to craft the South kind of argument, it would

939
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,320
be the recency of the losses. Right, say, yes, I

940
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,400
know this, but it is our belief that they are

941
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,719
in better form right now than those other two teams,

942
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,360
and they have impressive big wins. And maybe i'd tell

943
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,840
you catapul the men our three of O TB coming

944
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,280
