Speaker 1: All start. Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's go from a championship backfield to your morning drive.
Speaker 3: Here's day Hester and Hester. Got it, Fata Pa.
Speaker 1: You're locked in to Off the Bench Control the as
live from the Mercedes Benz of Baton Rouge Studio. Here's
Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Taylor, I don't know about that one. We say hello, Yeah, Larry,
that's better. That's better.
Speaker 4: Welcome man. I don't care if you don't. If you're
not feeling it, you fake it. But I'm always feeling
it is.
Speaker 5: I don't know, not feeling it right now?
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 6: At Luandro's working out at three fifty seven am this morning,
I feel great.
Speaker 2: I mean I get it. She's already worked out, you know,
went home, got dressed, come back to work. I get
it and get it. Taylor, did you MO yesterday?
Speaker 7: That's sources subject. Jake can't mo because it's just freaking
storming every day. It didn't rain for three weeks now
it won't stop.
Speaker 4: Wow. So your lawn is ridiculously high.
Speaker 7: That's not ridiculous it like last that's to your.
Speaker 6: Grass right now looks like Notre Dame USC in a
tush push game, like the bush push probably where they
kept the really high, so they try to slow USC down.
Speaker 5: You remember that we were in college. I don't remember that.
You what, I was focused on my job.
Speaker 2: You don't remember that for real?
Speaker 4: No, I don't know. USC.
Speaker 2: In South Bend they smart the grass high.
Speaker 6: They thought it'd slow USC down, but I don't know
if they thought about it makes our slow team slower
as well.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm hmm. But that's what happened.
Speaker 5: It's kind of like when the old Texas Stadium for
the Dallas Cowboys, they had the big arch in the hill.
What they call it, uh, I guess it's an arch.
I don't know, the crown, crown of the field, crownd
the field. It was like if you were on one
sideline and looked at the other sideline, you see like
up to people's like waists because the crowd of the field,
because they wanted to run sideline to sideline and so
they would run it literally downhill.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was U So.
Speaker 5: When we used to play little high school playoff football
games there.
Speaker 6: So maybe Jerry needs in Jerry's world needs to do
that again, because they've sucked ever since they moved there,
basically minus the basically they've sucked, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the documentary actually came out yesterday on Netflix. I
watched the first fifteen minutes and it was Jerry Jones
talking about a radio, so I turned it off.
Speaker 4: I did the first episode.
Speaker 5: My feed was getting filled with the clips because I
because a lot of like, yeah, Packers fans on follow
me or I'm on their timeline or whatever, I'm I'm
there on mine, and uh, I saw a lot of
people talking about, like praising Jordan Love because apparently there's
a clip of Jerry Jones nearly like crying in the
film room talking about how that was the worst one
of the worst losses in their franchise history. Was like
the Jordan Love two years ago something like that they
beat him by like forty I can't remember what it was.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 5: It was just filled of Jerry Jones almost crying forty
last year.
Speaker 4: They jumped out to like that's not real. Well, but
in that.
Speaker 2: Game, yeah, remember it was it first or second game
of the year.
Speaker 4: It was the week it was week two they played
Panthers a week Yeah, SATs fans all set in this year.
Speaker 2: So that game, yeah, it was two years ago talking
about him.
Speaker 7: Packers jumped out to like a seventeen point lead in
like the first quarter.
Speaker 4: Cowboys couldn't come back. Shocker. So did you get to
that part of the documentary.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 7: I literally got fifteen minutes into the first episode and
I was like, I'm gonna go, uh do something else.
Speaker 6: You know, life's about choices and decisions. I say it
all the time. Yeah, you made that choice. You made
that decision.
Speaker 4: I am gonna watch it though. Yeah.
Speaker 7: So that was just kind of in a bad mood
when I got home and I was like, I can't
deal with Jerry right now, but I'll probably watch it today.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean Jerry's objectively great at what he does,
and I'll look. It was pretty amazing and Landman too,
really good acting. Scene we we did it was incredible.
Speaker 2: I think that's why it was so good. Yeah, it
was incredible though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean great.
Speaker 5: I know you don't like it because you're fat people
that aren't like as emotionally invested in the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: As you look at Jerry, it's like, pretty great at
what he does.
Speaker 7: Jerry's great at what he does except running a football team.
Speaker 4: Well, he said, he's the modern day P. T. Barnum.
Speaker 7: You're great at stuff like that. He's great at the
entertainment value of it. He's not great at the football
part of it. Unfortunately, he owns a football.
Speaker 2: Team, which is which is the most valuable football team
in America?
Speaker 4: And what does football teams do? They entertain?
Speaker 8: He should have just been like the marketing director or something.
Speaker 7: Right, your team and don't be the GM. There's a
novel idea every other owner in the NFL.
Speaker 5: Guess what. It's pretty much our lead topic right now.
So he's doing it, doing something right.
Speaker 2: It's all started from the crown of the field.
Speaker 4: From the the what do you call it?
Speaker 9: The bush tush Bush push push a wild one, yeah,
bush push on.
Speaker 2: On YouTube so Matthew you can see it. I can't
believe because wait, when did anybody call it that? That's
what it's called.
Speaker 4: You can't say that to me and I'll hear for
the first time and expect me not.
Speaker 2: To back me up here. When Matt Lionard pushed was
it no? Was it liner? I guess it sneaked it
and Bush pushed him.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bush push is wild.
Speaker 2: His wild.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard it as it was.
Speaker 6: I mean I remember obviously our entire time in college,
like we were a top five team, they were a
top I do remember the.
Speaker 4: Play, yes, okay, I don't remember, like them cutting the
grass higher?
Speaker 2: Is what I meant is that, Okay, yeah they did,
and that definitely happened.
Speaker 4: It didn't work, it almost did.
Speaker 6: And at the time, you couldn't aid a runner into
the end zone. That's why people were so mad. It's
because it's not like now where the Eagles do it like.
It was actually something you were not supposed to be
able to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you still shouldn't be able to do it.
Speaker 2: But you can.
Speaker 6: Oh I know back then you were not even supposed
to be allowed to do so. Yeah, but it was
the USC That's what people argue. Well, I don't know
if you can have that argument.
Speaker 2: Oh God, like how grainy that is.
Speaker 6: I mean, he no doubt got stuffed. I mean, there's
four seconds left in the game. Notre Dame's up three seconds.
Speaker 4: It was a subtle push. He didn't tackle him.
Speaker 2: He knocked him out.
Speaker 4: The club tackle him in the end zone like the
Eagles there, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, right, but look, he's stuffed right there and.
Speaker 4: He sold it. Well, it was perfect. He did a
good job.
Speaker 2: God, I would be so mad if I was Notre Dame.
Speaker 4: Why. It's just kind of like that all the NFL that.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that was but it was illegal. It was illegal.
It's a difference now if you don't like it, stop
it and if you can't.
Speaker 5: I think it's kind of one of those situations where
you're kind of like running like a pickscreen wide receivers
and you get in their way, but you kind of
like act like you were trying to run her out.
I think he was acting like he was trying to
make a block and he accidentally hit Matt Liner. Thank
you did a good, nice job. We should put it in. Well,
let's line up everybody like right on the in the
A gap. Yeah, then we do it that way.
Speaker 2: Vaughn is asking us, please watch Matt Wyatt from Mississippi State. No,
I know, Matt, Well, it's on the radio call doing
a breakdown. Can OTV please break down plays like that.
We've actually talked about that.
Speaker 6: Now doing it here on radio and trying to make
that make sense for the radio audience. It's kind of tough,
like you can get into service level stuff there. I
am going to ask Matthew to do some of those
breakdowns because you know, I would love to do the
breaks That's one of the few things he good at
in life, hydration and film breakdown.
Speaker 4: Also a father and a good husband if his kids
for staying car we would love to do the film breakdowns.
Speaker 5: That was I mean, we would certainly be missing out
on a good opportunity to share some expertise. But it's
hard to be finding the software like legit watch film.
Speaker 2: I think I think matt does his off YouTube.
Speaker 6: And also I'm not sure how he gets the copyright too,
said film. I don't know if he just says screw
it and does it. Yeah, or as for forgiveness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can do that.
Speaker 4: Definitely do that. I mean it's on YouTube.
Speaker 6: We did in the office. See here's the problem, and
we're gonna get better. We have gotten well, not sure. Yeah,
I'm sure we haven't gotten our office quite ready yet,
but it's close.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 6: No longer looks like a prison cell. We have painted
the walls, we got the white boards in there, the
interactive and the OG you.
Speaker 4: Got to as bestis out of there.
Speaker 6: Did we did you look, so, yeah, those things are coming,
Those things are going to happen. But I say, the problem,
So that play that we showed Clemson Appalachian State last week,
we went into the office and we pulled it back
up and we were talking.
Speaker 2: Through it, and we spent thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: On one run play. Yeah, that's the problem.
Speaker 2: That's the problem, and uh, we got to massage that.
Speaker 4: We got to get that down.
Speaker 5: We have to be able to present the facts, educate
in a tight time frame. And you know, sometimes we
get a little linkedy when we talk about x's and nose.
But you're right, it's a little difficult to get it
out there and make it make sense for the radio. Yeah,
so that's why I like you kind of an advantage
if you're watching on on YouTube here. But yeah, we're
we're gonna do plenty of that during the season. We
just got to figure out the best way to do
it on the best website because it's not easy. The
way of course, we used to watch film was with
the like the Little Cowboy remote and it was like
you rewind probably the same play ninety eight times at least.
Speaker 2: As you're talking through it. I don't know why you
don't hit Paul's.
Speaker 5: You just rewind it. Huh rewind sometimes slow rewind. So yeah,
we gotta figure it out. We're gonna get it done.
We're going to continue to talk exits that I was
here on the show. We're going to continue to break
down plays and film every Monday and Tuesday. We're gonna
be breaking down like the key plays for LSU and
why they were key plays, What happened, what didn't happen?
What can we get better on? What did we make
an oof on?
Speaker 4: What do we do? Great? We're gonna do it. Did
we because we play not this Saturday.
Speaker 2: But the following that we do, Derek, that we do? Uh?
Did we play? The Caesar Rouiz clip that you and
I were breaking down was that I think I was
actually going.
Speaker 4: To break many years bringing that. Yeah during the break.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we can bring that one. I'll I don't
know if we need to. It wasn't great.
Speaker 4: No, that's the whole point. He's not great.
Speaker 2: Although Tyler Shuck did try to throw him and past
this week he did he.
Speaker 4: Want why I mean that went?
Speaker 3: That was?
Speaker 5: That was pretty bad two plays for Tyler Shuk, Like,
let's be real, guys, like let's not harp on that.
Speaker 4: Let's not make that think those two plays, think he
didn't like play well the one.
Speaker 5: Right before that he was one way, he fell down,
took the sack, all right, I mean he can tow
it to the guard.
Speaker 2: He played well, it's still funny though it is funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Uh the clip that I'm gonna try to pull up
to see if he can play, it's not funny.
Speaker 4: It's not funny at all.
Speaker 5: Well, it's like Hendrey Miller had a great that was
a great rap by him. The rest of the offensive
line great rap by them, not bad by him.
Speaker 2: So so I look, I I've been pretty critical of
of Kendre Miller just because you've had had multiple opportunities.
Speaker 6: But I get it, Like you see the flashes, You're like, oh,
that's why you got a third fourth, and that's why
you continue because the flashes and if we pull this
play up, like you'll see exactly what Matt's talking about,
Like great play action comes off. The play action just
hits the linebacker right in the chin, Like the flashes
are great. But see they're looking for consistency behind ak
at that position, and that's why you brought in two
veteran players, like that's why you know cam Akers was
brought in, That's why Clyde was brought.
Speaker 2: In last year and then retained for this year. Is
because it's great.
Speaker 6: And man, you wish you could be like, hey, you
were going to be, you know, the the guy that
if Ak's tired, if AK can't go, like, you're our guy.
But that's why you bring in two veteran players and
you draft another one because the flashes keep him there.
But some of the dips are the reason you can't
fully give yourself over to it.
Speaker 4: And it seems like.
Speaker 5: For the most part, from the word coming out of
camp and the reps that we've seen during the game,
without breaking it down in too much detail, like going
back and watching all of his pass protections, all of
his running reads, it seems like he's been playing pretty consistent,
like he's flashed running the ball. Yeah, and he's looked
good on a couple of pass protection clips that we've watched.
I'd like to break down and kind of see his
stats on all of his pass protection because I know
that was like a really big thing. That's why you
wanted to bring your veteran veteran running backs in there
behind Kamara is to solidify the pass protection because you've
got some weaknesses on the offensive line and you've got
young quarterbacks. But yeah, well, let's make sure we pull
that clip up this hour and then we will look
at it and kind of show everybody the kind of
what we saw on that play. And like, as soon
as you showed that to me one time, I was like,
that's a great rep by Kendrick because he comes off
of play action feet are kind of in a weird spot.
We talked about like that Bruce Lee, like one inch
punch knock somebody down, like in a quick old Joed
the old Joe died.
Speaker 4: Just explosive, quick, quick twitch power. He's got it. He
has got that.
Speaker 5: He has got that gene in him and man, he's
oh he popped that guy in the mouth. And it
was a really good clip, but I think it was
a second not be good him though.
Speaker 6: All Right, we'll see if we can pull that up
also when we come back, we'll truly get this thing started.
The coaches announced their preseason All SEC team and it
looks different than the media's All SEC preseason teams. So
we'll break that down. We'll play that play. We'll break
it down for you as well. Gosh, wez yeah, I
got it. He's played better. He needs to play better.
Speaker 4: While you're talking, you're gonna get frustrated.
Speaker 6: We'll show you exactly what we're talking about when we
come back here on OTB off the bench. All right,

Joe died because Joe died.
Speaker 4: Would one?
Speaker 5: It's Joe died. Put some respect behind that man say
it often.
Speaker 6: I got to campus my first running back individual, and
I'm like, uh, you want me and him to play
the same position?
Speaker 4: He is different than I am. That fella looks in
every possible way.
Speaker 6: No disrespect to any of the other running backs that
we're here in two thousand and four. But when I
saw number ten, I'm like, hmmm, so that's what I'm supposed.
Speaker 4: To look like.
Speaker 8: Looks like bower Sharp is going to be number ten.
Speaker 2: Shout the bower Sharp.
Speaker 5: So when we go down to like when I go
to a football game and you know how like former
players and the family, like you can get like go
down the sideline for the pregame and it's like always
jam packed.
Speaker 4: There's tons of people down there.
Speaker 5: Or you go to like the l club little tailgate
thing at the p back beforehand whatever, there's tons of
former players there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you see, you see.
Speaker 5: Tons of people, see people play with some people that
played in the sixties, seventies, eighties, that well, like forever,
nobody gets me like more happy to see than when
I see Joseph die.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not very often. I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't come back all the time. Maybe once
a year.
Speaker 5: I love that guy maybe something like that, or that
guy have like the utmost respect for the skill that
he had on the football team. Probably Nick Saban did
not like him for whatever reason, whatever reason didn't like
Joseph makes zero teammate worked his butt off.
Speaker 4: Moffett loved him, and I had though.
Speaker 2: Bruestally one. He could knock you on your rear if
you were a defensive end and his assignment was to
chip you.
Speaker 4: Good luck.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were gonna you would have to pick You're
gonna pick yourself up off the ground.

Jefferson near BOCAG go flow.
Speaker 2: I V all right.
Speaker 6: The twenty twenty five preseason Coaches All SEC Team, there
is one LSU Tiger on the first team offense.
Speaker 2: Any guesses, Matthew who on the coaches poll first team offense?
I want to say nes Meyer, but I feel like
you're setting me up. Go with your gut, no smile.
It is Garrett nes Meyer.
Speaker 6: Leonora Sellers was QB one on the media preseason All
SEC Team. It is Garrettnussmeyer coming in here. And I've
always said, and I don't know if you agree or disagree,
I would much rather be on the coaches All SEC
Team than the media.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Like, if I'm on the Coaches All SEC Team, good, Yeah?
I got second team. My some guy named Darren McFadden
and another guy named no Sean Moreno got first team.
Speaker 2: I think we need to recount the votes.
Speaker 4: That's just me again. A couple of guys like Joe died,
built a little different.
Speaker 2: They were built a little different. But good nod here.
Speaker 6: For Garrett Nussmeyer to get on the coaches first team
kind of shows exactly what he's you know, how he's
thought of around the SEC and so no surprise, it's
not shocking that he gets on the first team. But
and it's kind of back one I would go to,
certainly quarterback, and the coaches is more likely to like
give you a nod in respect to the experience that
you've had in the success that you've.
Speaker 5: Had, instead of like what you could be. I think
that the the AP or the media polls more of
like the hype a little bit more, which which it
should be. That's the that's the the beauty of the entertainment.
Part of everything is like the hype and the build
up and what it could be.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: Leonori's of course has done great things, but I think
the coach's poll is, yeah, it's kind of a nod. Mean,
you've you've done some great things, you're a good player,
you got good people around you.
Speaker 4: They take everything into account.
Speaker 5: A little bit more, but at the end of the day,
it still is a preseason ranking, so it doesn't mean anything,
but it's cool.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: Leonoras is the second team quarterback all in the preseason
All SEC team, So thank god it's on ARC.
Speaker 2: How about that? I mean Sporting News, which is one
of the All American teams that decides if you're like,
if you're you know, a unanimous All American like they're
one of the five I believe, and they put arch
Maning as their number one first team.
Speaker 4: He's not an American quarterback.
Speaker 5: There was a recent mock draft I think they came
out yesterday that has him going number one overall in
this year's draft, to the New Orlen Saints, to the Browns.
Speaker 4: The Browns are not gonna be good this year, you know.
And they might be Gordon mel Kuiper share plays, they
might win. Their depth chart came out the other day.
They have six quarterbacks. That's smart, smart, it's good play. Hey,
it's six.
Speaker 6: They got Joe Flacco, they got Kenny Pickett. They've got
Shadia Sanders, they got Dylan Gabroe, they got Deshaun Watson, they.
Speaker 4: Got Tyler Huntley.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah snoops, there it's true.
Speaker 8: Well, Coacho says that arch Manning is the second coming
to Joe Burrow. So arc is you know what, well,
he didn't get snubbed. I think it's fair to leave
him off, but he was off the manning.
Speaker 6: It's not I'm telling you like like this is no
you know all this high it it's not like demanding families,
not trying to get all this. Yeah, like that's pretty funny. No, no, no, Archie.
I can see Peyton and Eli being like he ain't
on our list and done anything over there maybe later.
There's one LSU Tiger that made first team defense with
it is with wait weeks right there in the middle
of the All SEC team UH special teams, Berrian Brown
was the return specialist. So I'm looking forward to that.
That's going to be I think a dynamic weapon for LSU.
And they got multiple guys actually that could go back there,
which is kind of the cool part. I mean, you
had multiple guys have return touchdowns just a year ago
as well, and then you add somebody that it's thought
of as the best in the SEC UH second team offense,
Caden dorm at running back, Aaron And at receiver. Second
team defense, you had Harold Perkins at linebacker.
Speaker 4: Not star coaches, they know the coaches all purpose.
Speaker 6: Xavian Thomas got all purpose on the second team. There
another one of those guys that certainly could be a
returner for you. Man, if I was a quarterback, I
would be like incredibly excited. Thomas also got return specialists
on the third team. But I would be excited about
all the different type of receivers that I have if
I'm Garrett Nasmeyer. Now I've talked about it over the
last couple of weeks, like I would like to have
like a group of five or six that I know
is going to be in there. But like when you
think about going down the field with Chris Hilton, when
you think about Aaron Anderson being able to do anything
under the sun, he did it last year, whatever route
you need him to run. And he started talking about Brown,
you start talking about Thomas and Kyle Parker somebody that
they continue to talk about. But the cool thing about
the receiver group, I think, and then Nick Anderson's kind
of your tall rangie and then you throw Green in there.
He's a tight end, but he's kind of a hybrid receiver.
Got six seven, Like you've got something for every situation,
and you can be very creative. It's like we talked
about with the running game, Like Xavion Thomas isn't a
running back, but I saw him encounter last year off
of an emotion into the backfield. If I'm Nustmeyer, man,
I am fired up with all the different opportunities. I
think that they're going to have to get the ball
to a playmaker in space.
Speaker 2: And it doesn't even have to be I mean, you
know this, Matt.
Speaker 6: It can be a throw that doesn't travel more than
three yards down the field. But all the guys that
you have to have that ability that quick now look
whatever you want to call it, smoke route to catch it,
make one guy miss and go sixty. You were talking
about that the other day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Garrett has the ultimate ability to make
any play down the field and he throw throwed into
tight coverage, tight windows.
Speaker 4: But he didn't have to do that all the time.
Speaker 5: It's great to have that ability to do it when
you have to turn it on and be able to
react to something like that. But the keys and the
pieces that Joe Sloan and company has to work with
to get creative, especially early on in big games, early
on in the clemsing game, get some get the ball
into the playmaker's hands. We don't have to do anything
crazy to where we got to pass protect for three,
four or five seconds with a new offensive line against
the team that's pinning their ears back and little death valley, Like,
we don't have to do that.
Speaker 2: Get the ball out, get the nerves out.
Speaker 5: And you know, I never had the luxury of being
able to be a returning starter because I didn't start
until my last year at LSU. But so but like
I can only imagine that coming back for a second
year and seeing the talent around that the quarterback or
the wide receiver room and the tight end room and
you got Caden Durham behind you. But oh yeah, I'm
returning my leading receiver in yards and.
Speaker 4: Touchdowns as well from the year before.
Speaker 5: Like I can only imagine like the comfort, the security
blanket that that makes you feel from a confidence level.
And it makes sense when you put all those pieces together,
why these guys are talking so confident and Coach Kelly's
giving them the freedom to talk freely about their confidence
and about the expectations for this team. Because the pieces
are there. You don't want them to go in like
half step it. You want them to be like, all right,
we got the pieces, we've shown that we can play,
and I can only imagine that confidence that having that
whole room full of talent plus the guy that was
your number.
Speaker 6: One person a year ago. So why is that important
to me? Why is it important to have all different
guys that can do different things. Now, if you have
the ability to push the ball down the field because
you have time, that's great. But let's say that early
in the game. Why this offensive line, this new offensive
line is trying to get settled. They're trying to figure
it out a little bit. Maybe they're losing right early
in the game against a very talented defensive front from Clemson.
It's all about how quick can I get the ball
out of my hands at that point?
Speaker 2: And then that's why it's important to have.
Speaker 6: You've got Barrian Brown, you have Xavion Thomas, Aaron Anderson too,
he return touchdown or ago.
Speaker 2: But you have those guys who are used to.
Speaker 6: Working in space where you have some blockers in front
of you in the return game, right, and so it's
not going to be four like that's second nature to them.
And so it's a successful play because it went for
seven yards and you just continue on down the field, right,
you catch a ball and you make one guy miss
and you can go seventy. But even if you don't
you catch a ball, you get behind trade as Green
who's coming from the y position. He's going to kick
out the nickel that was in front of you and
you just, you know, kind of get into that tunnel
and you get seven yards.
Speaker 2: That's a positive play And what does it do.
Speaker 6: It slows everybody down a little bit on that defensive
front as well, when you start getting the ball out
of your hands quick. And then when you have the
receivers who have that ability, because look, not every receiver
has the ability to catch the ball, get into that tunnel,
get seven yards that we're talking about LSU I believe
it's got three, but I know they've got two that
they want to utilize.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's especially early on in big games, and I
would say opening games are very big. There's a lot
of hype, there's a lot of energy, there's a lot
of build up to these things.
Speaker 4: As a play caller and developing.
Speaker 5: A game plan around that, you have to understand the
mentality that the defense your facing is going to come
out with. They're going to come out with their hair
on fire. They're gonna come out trying to make a
statement early. Like on offense and big games, we are
always trying to withstand the blow, with stand the early.
Speaker 4: But it's like a heavyweight bout, like with don't get.
Speaker 5: Knocked out in the first couple of minutes because there's
a lot of energy. They're gonna come out swinging. Yeah,
with stand the big haymakers and how do you do that?
And it's like the fighting game a lot of times,
it's like use your opponent's momentum against them. That's when
you do a lot of the quick stuff. That's when
you do a little bit of misdirection, a little fake,
you know, a fake handoff right, so a little tunnel
screen to the left. You make them go one direction
because they got all this energy, and you switch them
up and you get the ball out of your hand,
you get completions, and then the game starts settling in
a little bit. So to have those the play making
a bild everywhere on the field and have all the
options available for quick kiitters, misdirection, a little bit of
a screen here or there like that is that's a
big luxury to have as a play caller.
Speaker 2: Last point. I know we got to take a break.
I think that you have the ability to have a
trade as Green kind of lineup wherever, and.
Speaker 6: I would love to see him like because you're not
going to fall into tendencies I don't think with defenses.
Speaker 2: So if you had just a normal big, long.
Speaker 6: Rangey tied end, but you know he didn't have the
skill set that trade as Green has, well, all right,
if he's out there out wide, they're gonna try to
throw something, you.
Speaker 2: Know, behind the line of scrimmage. Him be the point
lead blocker out there.
Speaker 6: But with his skill set, like you have the ability
for him to have a major role even when he
doesn't have the football.
Speaker 2: Now it's got to be on him.
Speaker 6: But that like that is something like you can utilize
him in that space because teams can't say, okay, if
fourteen's here, it's going to be this. So like that's
another part they were talking about having these receivers that
have the ability to do so having a quarterback that
is going to feel comfortable with throws behind the line
of scrimmage. I know that sounds easy, those those are
not easy.
Speaker 4: Then you pretty tough.
Speaker 6: Yeah, then you got a trade as Green who can
go out there and can also affect the game without
the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I am Bower Sharp, who's been looking really good and
we know he's going to be that more traditional tight
end type, but has really flashed in training camp, making
some really good catches, getting open and so everywhere. Like
that's why I brought up the tight end room right
in conjunction with the wide receiver room, because I think
they're going to play a huge role in this and
I think early in the game, man, I would love
to see just a man it's a simple basic plays.
Spread them out, spread the defense out. How about a
naked bootleg and hit a little tight end on a
flat route. Yeah, how about we start the game that way?
Some of the best games you've ever played, I've ever
seen an offense too. Yeah, simple plays. They just execute
him really well and it's not rocket science out there.
And when you have better players than the other team does,
it comes even easier.
Speaker 4: Don't overthink it all.
Speaker 6: Right, when we come back, you know that was that
was positive, a lot of positivity there. But when we
come back, we'll break down some of the issues for
the New Orleans Saints offensive line and we'll tour it
right here on o TV. Off the bench, all right,
go to get Gordon dot com. That is a website

you messed it up.
Speaker 4: Oh I didn't the equipment did.
Speaker 2: Just.

Speaker 5: Remember the old the song Runaway Train Soul Asylum. Yeah,
so there was a music video and it showed like
pictures of actual children.
Speaker 2: That had run away My gosh, that'd start.
Speaker 4: And there was one of them that was from Tyler Texas.
My sister did.
Speaker 6: Okay, well on that note, I was just trying to
enjoy one of my favorite songs of all time and
you just run that.
Speaker 2: Uh. Taylor got a carpool Ah, we got him. Yeah,
you're at the end of car pool job.
Speaker 4: Matt.
Speaker 2: That's on me call you Matt Bob from now on.
Speaker 6: All right, Tae pull up this clip, all right and
I'll tell you when to play it, but I'll set
it up real quick.
Speaker 2: All right, this is the first preseason game.
Speaker 6: This is obviously the New Orleans Saints going against the
Los Angeles Chargers. Okay, now, this is not going to
be a very complicated blitz. It's just not going to
be Matt and I.
Speaker 5: It's so the only complicated part of this is they
align their defense to where they put three of the
defensive lineman, so you're gonna treat they other left like
a d lineman. They put three people to one side
of the center, which kind of messes with your rules
a little bit, but it's something as a professional, and
if you're watching on YouTube obviously, but if you're on
the radio, you do have three defensive linemen to the
left of your center. The nose tackle is kind of
in a one shade, and so that's what they're trying
to do. They're trying to overload one side and then
typically when someone overloads one side, it's going to come
from the other side.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Typically it's like, you know, look at my hand over
here while I do something.
Speaker 4: Else over here over here, buddy.
Speaker 6: So so you can go ahead and start this clipe
and I'll tell you when to stop.
Speaker 2: Just go ahead and press play, all right, stop right there?
Speaker 6: All right, So here's here's one of the things, all
right that it's just it's a rule, and it's on
every level of football, but it's certainly in the National
Football League. All right, Well, I actually does right, because
the most dangerous guy is going to be who he's
fanning out to. Okay, he's fanning out to the guy
that's coming off the edge, right, he is closer to
the quarterback, and within their rules, like you are going
to send the back to the inside guy, you're gonna
fan out to the outside. He's definitely more dangerous than
the linebacker coming from the second level. Now, I'll let
Matt speak on it here in a second. I'll know
what their rules were, but that was our rules. Also,
a rule that is never going to go away big
on big. You don't pass up a big guy to
go to a little guy. So you don't pass up
on a defensive lineman to go to a linebacker, to
go to a safety, to go to a corner like
whatever it might be. Like certainly when you play guard,
like this happens more at tackle, but when you're playing guard, like,
if you're watching this on YouTube, Caesar Ruiz, you see
him right there. He's your right guard. He is engaged
with the defensive tackle. There is nothing in his rules, certainly,
once he feels two guys coming right there to say
pass this off to the right tackle. There's nothing to
say you got to come back for the blitzing linebacker.
Speaker 4: No, there's not.
Speaker 2: So certainly somebody that's a veteran in the game like
he is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So what's happening is they line three defensive linemen
to the left of the center. Caesaris is playing right guard,
and so they are blitzing two guys off the edge
or they're wasn't two guys one in the A gap
and one off the edge see D gap, whatever you
want to call it. And they're playing a little game,
you know, they're playing a little te game where the
tackle basically it's gonna look like a T game. I
know it's with a linebacker, but basically he's gonna try
to pick and the guy blitzing off the edge, it's
gonna try to loop under and it's meant to confuse
the guard in the tackle, and it's trying to get
one person engaged with the guy that's the first person
coming and then let the looper kind of beat him
around the edge. But what happens here they also get
a linebacker blizzen in the A gap, and he looks
like Caees gets confused.
Speaker 4: On his rules.
Speaker 5: Now, if this was a scat protection, which is a
five person protection, they would have to be they would
be doing something called a big duel here, which basically
means you're gonna protect the A and they're gonna take
inside out basically. And if it's a big duel in
scat protection, that means you do not have bax help.
In this protection, they have backs help, so there's no
reason to ever come back down into a linebow. What
they would do is he would squeeze down and let
the n person come free yep or high because he's
the furthest away from the quarterback, and he gives a
quarterback a half second more to get a pass off,
get a get a hot route off, something like that.
But it looks like he gets confused in his rule.
Speaker 2: And I want if you're watching, like everything else about
this protection is really good, really good.
Speaker 5: Even watch the center. The center pushes everybody off to
the guard. They see that a defensive end on the
left might be is dropping into coverage and he sees
everybody's protected.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna come back and help help my front side here.
Speaker 5: And he comes back with authority, with power, and Kendre
Miller does a great can we play just play let's
go through that clip right.
Speaker 2: There, just stop right there.
Speaker 4: Boom oh punches him in the mouth.
Speaker 5: And Kendre Miller comes off of playfake and then hits
him in the mouth, which is hard to do. And
of course Caesar so here's gets confused. He kind of
tries to get the linebacker a second and then that beat.
Speaker 2: In the NFL doesn't matter, like that's not a starting
defensive tackle. It does not matter.
Speaker 6: Like if you hesitate like that, if you're not sure,
you'll get exposed. And that's exactly what happens here. It
is a fantastic job by Ken Jock Miller. That's a
fantastic pocket. Kendre Miller hits the linebacker right in the face.
The center does a great job. He's like, I don't
have anybody on the left side. Let me come join
my poton is over here on the right side and
clean up a little bit.
Speaker 2: It is a perfect pocket.
Speaker 6: But you have a veteran player, a first round pick
years ago, that is being confused by a basic blitz
from the Chargers here in this clip. And because he's
not certain of what his assignment is, he loses because
his technique turns to crap. And again, any any it
doesn't matter pro bowl to the last, goa on the roster.
Any defensive tackle is going to beat you. And so Taylor,
go ahead and just go a little bit longer in
the clip, and I'll tell you when to stop it.
Speaker 2: Stop right here. You lose, You lose.
Speaker 6: You have a clean pocket. You have a quarterback that
likes his matchup. Spencer Rattler is about to throw this
football down the field.
Speaker 2: He likes his match.
Speaker 6: Yeah, everything else is going the right way, but a
veteran player because he's not sure on his assignment.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: I thought of originally watching this it was just technique. No,
it's his technique's poor because he doesn't know his assignment.
And now I know we got to go to break.
As you played the clip, TTE, Spencer Radley gets hitting
the chin. It's hit right in the chin. The ball
goes out of bounds. Thank goodness. It wasn't a turnover.
Thank goodness, your quarterback doesn't get hurt. And it's all
based off his assignment. He was an assignment sounds so
his technique turned to crap, and because of that, you
got your quarterback hitting the preseason.
Speaker 5: And you know what it could. Let's hopefully we can
blame this on a new offense and a new protection
scheme because he got confused in the offense. He got
confused on what protection it was. He didn't know he
had the back help coming backside and he was trying
to protect the a gap. Then it like it clicked
on him, like one step too late that he did
have the back takes. That's all it takes. So hopefully
his payment on the mentals on that one, not the physicals.
Speaker 6: Right, So look, you can fix that, right, you can
fix the mental portion of it. But still like they
gotta be better. You got to be better for your
offense to be successful and for your quarterback to be successful.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll close that hour one.
Speaker 6: When we come back off the bench, I go to
Boujo's Electrical dot com. You go to that website and
you'll see all the contact information right there. So if
