Speaker 1: All start Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied. The Bitch
Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Mercedes
Benz Baton Rouge Studio starts now.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in number two. O. T. B.
Speaker 3: Friday vibes all over this studio. Clayton says, I just
got on, how does the longest fireplace need to be
plugged in?
Speaker 2: It's not electric? Look into your fireplace, guy, I think
somebody's messing with her.
Speaker 3: I think somebody just doesn't want to have maybe a
fire in the rental.
Speaker 2: You have a chimney, Obviously.
Speaker 4: I don't think I do. I think that it's non functioning.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 5: But you said you would burn wood in it. It's
those smokes gotta go up.
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying that I think that's why it's
non functioning.
Speaker 4: But like you were asking me, is it gas or
is it would burning?
Speaker 6: And there's no gas, so I would I would like
I would guess if I had a chimney, it would.
Speaker 3: Be would would somebody knock a hole in your wall
and say it's a fireplace when you stick your head
in it and look up, is there a hole?
Speaker 4: No, I don't think you'll understand, Like I just.
Speaker 2: Can we get a picture later today?
Speaker 4: Can we get when I get home?
Speaker 2: The offer still stands though.
Speaker 3: If you work on fireplaces, and if you help a
launder out or build a hook you up here in
football or build them or create chimney. You make a chimney,
I'll get you on the field.
Speaker 2: Pregame chimney. I gotta know what this looks like. Now.
Speaker 3: I can't believe both of you turned down, like the
opportunity to maybe, like you know, get some help, because
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2: Like what do I need right now? Oh? The tiles
on my driveway? Like whoever built our home?
Speaker 3: Like we're the second owner, right and in the driveway
they have these tiles. They're like, you know, decorative kind
of like every five feet or so. Like, you can't
put tiles on a driveway. There's gonna be massive cars
that roll over said tiles and they just keep cracking
over and over again.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, I don't even get me started
on driveway issues right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well, hey see that's what I was saying,
if you work on driveways, hit your boys up.
Speaker 2: We'll shout you out and we'll get you some excuse.
Speaker 5: At some point let me maybe, at some point, people
who work on houses or sell materials to people who
work on houses have to stop blaming COVID on high prices.
Yeahs COVID, it's five years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no supply chain issues.
Speaker 3: The concrete guys getting you, Oh, everybody, that is a
perfect up. It's a perfect use. I can't hide money.
Well done, sir. What he's doing it to me, It's
not like that, but it sounded like that. It sounds
very much like you shiny bathroom tiles.
Speaker 7: My question was going to be, you can put tiles
on your drive It is like paver situation.
Speaker 2: It is a weird situation.
Speaker 3: I don't it's almost like it's almost like he saw
the space and.
Speaker 2: He didn't know what to do with his hands and
he just said tiles.
Speaker 7: When you're building the house out and walk r they
go gravel or non driveway.
Speaker 2: Look, well, that's because the range rubbers took it over right. Gosh,
the range.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to like just get some rocks, like, how
about some just gravel road.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, man graves expensive COVID, what shortage
because of COVID? What what are you like so like
bust up some rocks so.
Speaker 3: You're just trying to get like an extended part of
your driveway. But you just wants like some pebbles so
you can park something on something.
Speaker 5: But it's like, oh, I got to get the stuff here.
Speaker 3: I really need to see the bones of this home
and where there's apparently like a bathroom that's above a
room that's not functional.
Speaker 2: Yea, I need to see that too.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about my fireplace.
Speaker 2: It's a creepy bathrooms.
Speaker 5: It's like bathroom hadn't been functional since we lived there,
and it's in the attic.
Speaker 2: That's what you need. You need somebody to come.
Speaker 7: You need somebody to come bless your haunted bathroom. That's
what Matt needs help with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, t Bob bless this bathroom. Every single day down
the hall.
Speaker 5: He came hunted, all the ghosts he got out in there.
Speaker 3: The amount of conversations he would have through that door
while he was using the bathroom remarkable.
Speaker 2: Oh dude, it'd be so funny.
Speaker 7: Because Cade's office, as y'all know's right across from.
Speaker 2: It, and like I'd be walking down the hall.
Speaker 7: He'd be like, hey, teller's ta bop here, and I'm like,
I don't know how to hear tabup in the bathroom.
Speaker 2: I'm here, cool man.
Speaker 3: We would have clients like we would have clients that
be here for meetings and if the hey t Bob
just using the restroom, like he'll be right out, we
can get started or whatever. He'd be like one second,
hold on, be right there, like talking to clients to
the bathroom or restroom is not a bathroom there, So.
Speaker 2: All right, so we are doing the.
Speaker 3: Okay, they're not like they're they're they're actually they're cheap tiles.
That's why they keep breaking. So I need a new solution.
I gotta like lay some papers or something. But every
time I do, like the mortars for bricks, like it
drives too fast, right, and then you're.
Speaker 5: Like you need to stop. D yeah, why and everything?
Your tiles are cracking.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't put them there, though. That's what I'm done.
You've done brick and mortar, like you've done the mortar
and put back down. Dude.
Speaker 3: Katie has redone nine houses, okay, and after like the
third one if I am after paying like the third
one for her team she used to have in Trueport.
I was like, your boy's got to learn to do
some stuff here CAUs like we're making some good profit here.
But if I the more I learned, the more we make.
And so I had to learn how to do a
lot of stuff. You know, after the third time you
get shocked. You're like, so.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. How.
Speaker 5: I don't know what you did, Like if there's like
a wall or whatever it was with the brick, but
how the first time would the brick mortaring go.
Speaker 3: Not great, not great, drys quick, quicker than you think,
but like it's just like an a little bit more
water in there the other thing. No, no, you would think, yeah,
it's not how it works that easy, just like plaster
you better hurry.
Speaker 2: Have you made have you ever put like a made
a brick wall, like free standing.
Speaker 3: Wall, more like took the bricks out and replace them.
Oh like situation we had a house. We had a
house that was built in build a wall. If he's listening,
she'll correct me. I think it was like the nineteen twenties.
So that was there was some challenges when you redo
a house that was built in the twenties. Great house,
incredible house. When you start opening up those walls, you
find some stuff.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what kind of job around the house
is underrated. It's like difficult to make look good.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say this word, and y'all just relax because
it's a real word, not being gross. But I decided,
like when on our last house, that I was going
to improve the look at our house by cocky and everything.
Speaker 3: And how Tea Bob did this too, But black Tea
Bob used black cock on the outside of his home,
and his neighbors like, naughty, we can't do that.
Speaker 5: Well, I used white cock and all right, and it's
amazing how it kind of just pulls everything together, makes
everything look good. But it is hard to get, like
a good good stripe on it, a nice clean stripe
and good good cock.
Speaker 2: Good cocks hard to come by. A good cock job
really brings the room together.
Speaker 3: Did you use what's the scene on TV one flex seal?
Is that used?
Speaker 5: No, it's not the cock that I used, all right,
I was gonna make a cannot never mind. Oh yeah,
that flex seal does plug a hole. Did you ever
see the like slap it on the barrel, stops the water.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: How's Rossell Jackson gonna follow this segment?
Speaker 5: But a good coxsman can make all the difference when.
Speaker 2: He's doing it.
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I'm fully on.
Speaker 2: Board flexil oh man. There's okay, hold on.
Speaker 5: Uh alundra, But I'm with you, okay, all right, I
totally agree.
Speaker 3: Definitely brings everything together, like you started this conversation. Just
brings everything together.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They did make a boat out of flex seal.
Speaker 9: They Yeah, I stayed dry. It's amazing. Heye, I'll see what.
All right, hold on, I'll get us out of here.
I'll get us out of here.
Speaker 4: Get it together.
Speaker 2: There was a football game on TV. Hold on, I
will get us out of here.
Speaker 3: We're doing the what shows this OTB Top twenty five,
Number twenty five was Boise State, Alm.
Speaker 4: Just give us four right here, very confident about it.
Speaker 3: You're right here, right here, right now, let's go the
number twenty four team stay ready on the OTB Top twenty.
Speaker 2: Five is Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I came in this morning and I was like, yeah,
I don't feel great about this. Everywhere I look on
the preseason top twenty five rankings because I was trying
to do my research. I don't want to make like
an uneducated pick here.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, and you know ball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm learning ball obviously. All three of y'all know
way more ball.
Speaker 4: Than I do. But it's okay, we're gonna get there.
Speaker 6: I was like, I don't know what to do. So
everybody has Memphis for some reason, but I can't find
a good reason as to why to put Memphis at
number twenty four. So Taite helped me out here, and
I think he has me convinced that I'm gonna put
Memphis at twenty four along with the other places that
I've seen I.
Speaker 4: Wanted to put.
Speaker 6: I told you I wanted to put Auburn at twenty five,
but for some reason, twenty four is just a step
too far for me. Like they would be like first
one out kind of thing.
Speaker 3: So they're not getting a rose on opening night, No, they're.
Speaker 2: Not getting a rose.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 4: You know who is Ryan Silverfield.
Speaker 6: He is in his sixth season at Memphis, and he
has steadily improved every season that he's been.
Speaker 2: Thereat year yeah.
Speaker 6: Nine to three as well, has a six sixty seven
winning percentage in his time there forty two and twenty one.
They So my thing was, I don't know why I
could put them here because they have like some questions
at quarterback, but they have a transfer coming in from Nevada.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brendan Lewis.
Speaker 6: Brendan Lewis, and Taylor says he has like a solid
season last season. They have some returners on defense that
will be productive as well. So I think I'm gonna
go ahead and put Memphis at number twenty four for
our OTB Top twenty five.
Speaker 3: I like it, I love it. I want some more
of it. I think Tim McGraw said that did. They've
got a lot of transfers coming in as well. They're
going to have, I believe, eight starters on defense from
the transfer portal. On offense, are going to have seven
starters from the transfer portal. But all of the guys
that they brought in, so the fifteen new starters they
brought in have all played wherever they're coming from. It's
not a situation where a guy was a five star
recruit somewhere and then turned out he wasn't a good
player and ends up in Memphis. No, all the guys
they brought in, have actual stats, and they've been on
the field before. Memphis is a good pick. They are
going to be very competitive Indie American.
Speaker 4: The schedule is very favorite, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And they could be the group of five rep in
the Couse Football Playoffs. So it's a good pick. The
only thing, the only thing that you didn't do, because
that was a great breakdown of Memphis is I thought
you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Play Maybe it was menhis should maybe.
Speaker 3: I say the only thing I thought maybe walking in Memphis.
Speaker 2: The other days.
Speaker 7: Because like I got old cocky the other day and
I was like, oh, Jake, I'm ready to get right now.
And then last second I flipped my twenty five was
going to be Memphis, and I flipped at last minute, Okay,
Memphis is.
Speaker 2: Going to be a good team this year. I like it.
I like where we're at right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the schedule is very favorable.
Speaker 6: Another one that I was kind of looking at, but
I was like, I'm gonna do Memphis. Was we were
talking about them yesterday Louisville Jeff brom Right, maybe it
was the day before that, but I mean, they lose
Tyler Schuck, but Miller Moss from US he transferred over there.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna have if if it comes to me
and they hadn't been picked, I'm in the teens. I
got Louisville Hot, got Louisville hot. They got two stud
running backs.
Speaker 2: Like giving tips away supposed to be secretive. I didn't
say where he said. I said to him, and they said,
in the teens. And if it falls to.
Speaker 3: Me, can hit eighteen. Sometimes sometimes it can hit fifteen.
Sometimes it might hit four. Basically spinning the roulette will so.
Speaker 7: Her point about Memphis though, like Ryan Silverfield to zero,
double zero, Ryan Silverfield ten and three, last year eleven
and two, dude Jerrolin, Yeah, program.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Silver Are we gonna do twenty three here with
Springfield's cousin.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go to Ross and then we'll make Flint
sweat and think about it because he's not gonna beat
that at Launcher break did a great job, no way,
Flynn does a great job. La Ross will do a
great job and he'll join us when we come back
here on OTV.

out banger after bang there on the website, truly breaks
it down like nobody else.
Speaker 2: Ross, what's going on, brother? How we doing?
Speaker 10: Hey, buddy, I'm doing great. Thanks much for having me on.
Y'all appreciate it.
Speaker 2: It's great to see you.
Speaker 3: The other day, it was so cold down there in
Metaie just you know, great weather.
Speaker 2: Oh man, it was fun to be out there.
Speaker 3: Haven't been to an NFL training camp in a long time,
and you know, the Saints camp is obviously intriguing as
well because of so many position battles. There's guys that
are switching positions like a Trevor Pinning, and you're trying
to figure out how it's all going to play out.
But the day that I was at camp, like Jake
Hayner was running with the ones, like he was the
QB one that day and it was the second time
in camp that he's had that opportunity, and you know
a lot of people start to talk, Okay, well, at
some point you got to get this thing from three
to two and then obviously from two to one, Like
when do you think that is going to happen? Because
if you're giving Jake Canter QB one reps unless you
truly think he can win the job, it's a wasted
day and training camp, and you can't waste days in
training camp.
Speaker 2: And so what do you think that timeline looks like? Ross?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, look, I think the timeline of getting
down to two is probably something that I mean, I
don't know, honestly, it's something that maybe goes into that
Chargers game, which could be a little late, right, I mean,
you would like to get this down to two and
then start getting these guys in rhythm and getting them
opportunities with the team that they're going to be playing
with and all those pieces. But I don't know that
Tyler Shuck has done enough to close Jake Haner out,
and I think that Jay Cayner has done enough to
stay in, you know, And so I think that that's
got to be the thing that we look at here.
But I would say that probably that Chargers game is
when you're going to see maybe this team start to
call that quarterback battle a little bit, and that could
be also leading into the Chargers game, like that week
right before leading into the Chargers games, where you're starting
some game preparation, right yea, and you're trying to get
these guys a little bit ready for the game. You're
not doing I know that in those first preseason games,
like you're doing a ton of like trying to match
up to the other opponent and everything, but you are
trying to get your guys ready to go out there
and play football for the first time and get hit
full speed by a guy that's not wearing your uniform
for the first time since January or February the latest,
and so I think that's probably the timeline is kind
of operating around maybe game prep for that Chargers game.
But I'll be curious to see if in that moment
is Kellen more willing to go down to two or
is he going to keep it at three at that
point and then maybe shifted two after that Chargers game.
But I think everything kind of revolves around that first
preseason exhibition matchup.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Ross we talked about. I'm curious as that actual reps.
Now we know that they're switching off every single day
a different quarterback with the ones, but from an actual
rep standpoint, that's what I'm curious about, because there's lots
of different ways. Like I don't enda coach ever doing
like a three person competition because the logistics involved are
are challenging. So like when Rattler runs with the ones,
like usually on a practice you can't run three groups,
you're running two groups. Is he getting double the reps
of everybody else because the other two are splitting.
Speaker 2: Reps with the twos?
Speaker 5: How does the actual number and volume of reps work
in a practice with when they switch off.
Speaker 10: Like that, Yeah, that's great. I think part of this
is going to be when I answer this question, I
want to make sure that it's known that a lot
of this is the way that Kellen war runs practices
are so efficient and so right now going into sort
of the way that things are through the past what
eight practices, not including the not including the walkthrough, and
not including seven on sevens, we've seen spins around with
one hundred and thirty six ish reps. Let's call it
around one hundred and thirty reps, while Tyler Shuck is
sitting at around one hundred and ten and Jay Hayner's
around one hundred and ten, and so these guys that
those are just kind of rough numbers. But these guys
are getting a lot of team reps and they're getting
the opportunities how to go out there even though they're
still running three teams deep. And a lot of the
way that Helen will get this done sometimes is especially
when they're outdoors, which they've spent most of their time
outdoors outside of that one walk through and then yesterday's practice,
they will focus on having you know, they'll cycle through
and maybe do like a down and distance incremental drive
kind of you know, walk through and or not walk
through rather but team drill, and they'll run that on
one field with the first team and whoever's running with
the quarter wherever the quarterback is running with the first
team there, and simultaneously run that same thing with the
other team, a second team or a third team with
the quarterback that's running with that team on the field
next to it. So they take advantage of these parallel
fields in the outdoor and the outdoors to make sure
that everybody gets those reps. And then after practice they
also do developmental reps, which isn't really with a team,
it's just kind of all of the young guys. So
all the veterans go in and start to kind of
transition into the next part of the process of their day,
while you know, whoever is that two B three for
that day will go out there and continue to rep
with those developmental drills as well. We don't have counts
for those because they tend to do those either inside
or away or whatever that might be. But you know,
they're making sure that they're getting these quarterbacks a lot
of reps, and they're not really there's not a huge
disparity between any of them, Ratler has gotten the most.
But Ratler has also seen the most sort of call
it sequences or series as well as opposed to just
the scripted series. And so some of that's within his
own control because if he can stay on the field
for a drive, he can stay on the field for survive, right,
And so I think that that would be the other
kind of separating factor there. But it feels like they're
getting the reps in and these guys are getting a
lot of work. They're just trying to They're just doing
it in creative ways because of how Kelvin Moore kind
of efficiently builds out this process.
Speaker 3: So Ross you've been doing this a long time, you
know as well as we do that organically, the team's
going to kind of just pick the starter almost for you.
And the team's going to show you before the coach
even has to get on the podium and announce to
the starter is going to be.
Speaker 2: And I don't want to put any thoughts into your brain.
Speaker 3: I want to get your own thoughts, but I'll just
tell you from my perspective, like being at camp and
kind of seeing how the guys interacted with the quarterbacks
and seeing which quarterback look comfortable compared to robotic.
Speaker 2: I thought Spencer Rattler.
Speaker 3: Looks like a guy that you know, maybe is starting
to get into that conversation of the team, is kind
of almost making him the guy. He had like a
little nice rpo run and you saw like six or
seven offensive guys kind of run with him on the
sideline and go celebrate with him the other day, Like,
is that kind of how you see it right now?
Is maybe you start to see Spencer kind of get
the ear of the team a little bit. And I
know he was here last year and Tyler Shuck wasn't,
but it just feels like almost organically that's starting to happen.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I would say I would I would
agree with that. I mean, I think that both his
performance on the field has certainly separated him and kind
of put him at what I would call the you know,
kind of full position right the guy right in the
lead of that pecking order. And then the other thing
that I think stands out to me is, just like
you said, the way that the team kind of rallies
around him and the way that they operate with him
in the huddle. They get in and out of the
huddle quickly. They don't have a lot of rehuddles. They
you know, get to the line of scrimmage in a hurry.
He rushes everybody around like he's a good commanding voice,
and people respond to him. And I think that those
are just as much signifiers sometimes as you know, the
passing stats in training camp or whatever that might be,
you know, as fun as those are, I think in
some cases, a lot of what tells you whether or
not a guy is the starter or is a starter,
or leading a competition or whatever, is just simply how
the other players respond to him. And I think that
you're seeing kind of a commanding presence from Spencer Rallery,
and I think the team is kind of telling you
that too. I feel pretty comfortable saying this because if
they were to turn around and do it, it would
be nine practices in, so I don't think it would
change anything. But Spencer Ratler is the only one of
these three quarterbacks that's never seen a third team rep
for this, you know, throughout training camp, and we just
talked about the number of reps that these guys have seam.
He's never taken a third team rep. He's only ever
been first the second team. But now when we go
there tomorrow and they inevitably give him thirteen reps and
get to look like an idiot, but you.
Speaker 2: Practice no, Yeah, and ross to your point.
Speaker 3: I actually I caught up with him and we interviewed
him on NFL radio like after that practice, and we
were kind of talking the same things, and he mentioned that,
like he said that himself. He's like, I haven't taken
third team reps. I've only been with the first or
second team. So he notices as well, Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that speaks to That speaks to him,
and I'm sure that's part of the confidence that he
shows when he's out on the fields.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 10: I mean, if you are the guy that started seven
excuse me, started six games, appeared in seven games in
your rookie season, and then you come in and you're
kind of considered the front runner for this battle and
then you get relegated kind of the third team reps, like,
that's going to feel the type of way, right, that's
going to communicate something and that has not been communicated,
which means effectively, whether you know you intend to or not,
as an organization, you are in communicating the opposite thing.
And I think that's that's good for Spencer Ratlers because
that shows a little bit of confidence from your organization
and where they believe not just where his feeling is,
but a little bit of where his floor is too
right the way that they kind of see him in
that area too, to where it's like, you know, we're
not putting you below those second team And I think
that that's something that communicates a sense of competence to them.
Speaker 2: All right, this might surprise everybody.
Speaker 5: I'm going to direct this conversation away from the quarterbacks
real fast. I want to get like a little I
want to get a little nitty gritty right now. So
when you got a new head coach coming in, you
got to be careful. I feel like sometimes with these
ex quarterbacks, these offensive minded guys, especially young young coaches,
that like, you don't make a team soft, right you
want you want them to hit the training camps about
callous in the body, the mind, the brain for season.
Like I want to know, have the Saints run any
live drills, live tackling, live hitting. I mean, are we
getting some some pads popping out there? How physical has
this training camp been up to this point?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would say yesterday was like Thursday was pretty physical.
I would say Whennesday was pretty physical as well. I
mean you've seen that, right, the things have been pretty
much had been injury free through the first five days
of camp, and they had one hamstring tweak, and then
they got out there for the second day and padded
practices and all of a sudden, Yeah, there's a few
bumps and bruises and things like that. So you can
definitely feel the physicality kind of ramp up. As for
going live and things like that, I will say, you know,
Kellen Moore was asked about that and he did kind
of indicate that he's interested in doing that. That they've
got to get out there and they've got to be
able to provide these players the opportunity to experience that
before they get into exhibition games and what I would
call a less controlled environment. Right, you could be a
little bit more controlled in practice than you're ever going
to be in an exhibition game where you have you know,
the you know some you know, you got the undrapped
free agent guys that are out there on other teams
that are buying to you know, put something good on
tape and be out there and they're taking risks and
going out there and get like, that's hard to control that,
and so you have a more controlled environment within your
own practices, and so I would not be surprised to
see them do it. And like I said, he's already
sort of indicated Kellen Moore has that there's an interest
in getting that in. So I would expect that to
be something that maybe happens as we get closer to
the Chargers game, but with enough time to recover before
the Chargers game. So maybe you know, they have their
next two practices are going to be their longest practices
of their meta re stint, and so maybe that's an
opportunity where they're looking at maybe scrimmaging a little bit
or something like that.
Speaker 3: Catching over the guy Ross Jackson talking a little New
Orleans Saints here on ot B.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the other side of the football.
Speaker 3: And when I was catching up with Mickey Loomis, I
asked him about tiring and how maybe surprising that was
for him that he retired, and Mickey said it was
surprising but not shocking.
Speaker 2: He's like, did we have a plan in place?
Speaker 3: Not, you know, not like a concrete plan per se
but they went out and they got Julian Blackman. You know,
he was a free agent, and I'm like, you know,
I don't know how impactful a guy can be. He
certainly had moments in the NFL, but like he's he's
on the street right now. I'll tell you what the
practice that I went to when they were doing like
one on ones with the tight ends, Like he looked
really good, Like he made like ross, He made like
four plays the day I was at practice, and so,
like I realized he was technically on the streets.
Speaker 2: He wasn't with a team.
Speaker 3: But when you don't really have a plan because you
get surprised by one of your leaders retiring, like, so far,
it looks like you've actually filled it in pretty nicely.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean yeah, for a team that had to
pivot kind of late, right, they sure look prepared. And
I think that some of that comes with some of
what they had in the building too. I mean going
out and getting Justin Reid that effectively allows you to
be able to fill the tyron Matthew communicative quarterback of
the defense role with Justin Reid, and then really what
you're trying to fill at that spot next to what
used to be Tyron Matthews spot, and so that kind
of alleviates things a little bit. So the frontwork kind
of helped them out a little bit. And then you
come in with some pretty good options, guys like Jordan
Housen that have been on this team for a little
while now, a guy like Jonas Sinker who they invested
in in this year's draft as the ability to play safety,
slot corner, you can kind of move play down in
the box, and you can move him around all these
other places. But then you land a guy like Billian Blackman.
He's got tender receptions over his career, but seven of
them in his last two seasons, so uniquely sort of
recently impactful, not you know, you know, two three years
ago impactful. And so I think that that kind of
puts you in a really good space to where you
were able to kind of shift and maybe a little
bit of what the responsibility was going to be for
Justin Reid and then go out there and find your
guy that's going to be able to play further away
from the football. And I've been massively impressed with how
quickly Julian Blackman come in and kind of commanded that role, right, Like,
that's the guy that you signed and really got in
on the second day of practice and then kind of
worked his way up to getting a first team drill
starting to walk through by Tuesday of this past week,
and and now he's got what feels like a pretty
tight hold on that starting role next to Justin Reid.
So I'm sure that there'll be some more rotation there,
but he's been really impressive and really impactful. And I
think that him being a part of that Utah defense,
which Brandon Staley loves from back in that you know,
back in that era of Utah defense, and the communication,
the intelligence, like all the things that he brings to
the field that works really well next to an NFL
just champion like Justin Reid. I think it's going to
be pretty tough to buy for to be one of
those other guys buying for a role to knock him
out of that spot, because so far he's held that
down pretty well.
Speaker 3: Ross Before we let you go, every single training camp
across the country, all thirty two teams, every team I've
ever been on, every team Flynn was ever on. There
was a darling of training camp last year for the Saints,
it was Mason Tipton. T Bob talked about him every
single day. He waxed poetic about him. Who is the
darling of training camp for the New Orleans Saints?
Speaker 10: So far, Man, it might be Mason Tipson.
Speaker 8: Again, I'm not gonna lie to you, and I think
that's one point, like you gotta look at it and
kind of go, all right, you know, one time, one time,
it happened, second time the coincidence. But could it be
a habit? You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 10: Yeah, uh so, I gotta give Mason Tipson in.
Speaker 8: I mean, he's been excellent.
Speaker 10: Actually, have a story dropping today over at Louisiana Sports
dot Net that's about, you know, kind of tracking and
receiving touchdowns in in team drills only, so taking out
seven on seven And look, Tipton's up there, and he's
the guy that has chemistry with all these quarterbacks, and
in particular has a lot of chemistry with Spencer Rattler.
So if you're tracking the quarterback battle, you're looking at
the guys that have chemistry with that quarterback too, and
Mason Tipton is certainly high on that.
Speaker 2: But all right, Mason Tipton, we can't escape him.
Speaker 3: Even though t bobs in Chicago, he's still thriving down
in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Ross, you're the man. You're the man. We appreciate again.
Speaker 3: Ross has an article dropping later, but he's already got
so many great ones on Louisiana Sports dot Net.
Speaker 2: Ross. We look forward to the next conversation, my man.
Speaker 10: Yes, sir man, thank you so for having me on.
Y'all take care of stay safe and I'll talk to
you soon.
Speaker 2: My man.
Speaker 3: Mason Tipton just out here thriving again, out here, thriving.
Every training camp has though camp.
Speaker 2: Darling, were you ever one? No, you're highfted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. Like it typically it's
an undrafted free agent. I'm trying to think CJ Anderson
running back, broncos Man. He made one run in training camp,
undrafted free agent guy, and we drafted money ball in
the second round. But like it didn't matter, Like whatever
CJ did, the crowd was popping, the coaches were, you know,
daffing each other up.
Speaker 2: We had the best.
Speaker 5: One of the best examples is was it the first
season of Hard Knocks where it was Danny Amondola year
in two thousand and eight, yeah, he was like the
first like people got the inside. Look, oh, it's like
an undrafted Like this is just like you're talking about.
Speaker 2: The darling of training camp.
Speaker 7: How did how did he do with the Cowboys?
Speaker 2: Released? He knew you somehow, Danny did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I remember we went to the so you know,
every rookie class used to go to the Hall of Fame,
used to go to camp, and we went with the Cowboys,
and I remember him being like, yeah, yeah, man, flyin man.
That's that's like a little flu Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of my buddies receiver in high school.
Speaker 5: I went to Texas Tech and was good buddies with him,
and we just kind of Texas you get it, No.
Speaker 2: I don't get you get it and gets it. I
don't get it. That's a good choice by the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: There, Ross did have. I saw this the other day.
Speaker 6: That's why when you asked it, I was like, I
know he's gonna say Mason Timta. He had an article
about it on Louisiana's We're Not at Yesterday, So like
I had read about it yesterday, and like, how do
you get that to translate into the regular season? Like
it's creaty because it was last year, and it's this
year again that he's the camp darling quote unquote, and
it's like, okay, like you said earlier, one is something too,
maybe a little trend.
Speaker 2: Here, Yeah, for sure, for sure, but.
Speaker 3: Training camp, Yeah, preseason games are different than when when
you got live bullets.
Speaker 4: Sure, no, of course no.
Speaker 3: But like to your point, you got to find a
way to make that work on the field during the
seventeen games.
Speaker 7: Right, I'll defend them a little bit though, like the
situation he was in with the coaching stuff last year too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got injured. Remember he shined and then he
got injured in camp.
Speaker 3: So you missed, like the names a rookie so we
come from Yale, I think, so you're missing valuable reps.
So you know, the deck was stacked against him, and then.
Speaker 7: Also trust killing a lot more to at least put
him in a position to succeed.
Speaker 5: Speaking of can we are there any new Car Brother
videos that have dropped recently?
Speaker 2: We'll check. Yeah, yeah, maybe we can't play them.
Speaker 6: Oh thank god, because computers mostuf, Hey, y'all think the
computer is gonna be fixed?
Speaker 3: I was just you know, yeah, it's gonna be fixed
by then, right of course, man, it'd be nice to
play videos of training camp and cool stuff.
Speaker 5: Can't do it, sorry, we can act him out, No
I can.

Speaker 3: Welcome back in O TV one, O four five, ESPN
Baton Rouge, the number twenty three team and the OTB
Top twenty five, mister Matthew Clayton Flynn, and.
Speaker 5: We are starting with some absolute bangers in the top
twenty five. We got Boise State at twenty five. We
have Memphis at twenty four. The recap this pro and
coming in at number twenty three on the OTB preseason
Top twenty five is the boys from Waco, Texas, Chip
and Johanna, Chip and Johanna Gaines, Ship, Dave Koresh, the
fighting Baylor Bears.
Speaker 2: Oh you didn't you win? We are full of kool
Aid drinkers. Yeah, I was trying to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Homa, Chip and Joanne and Dave Koresh and Dave Brandon,
the Baylor Bears, that good old Baylor line.
Speaker 2: We're going with them at number Yeah, chickam number twenty three.
Speaker 5: Now, we were talking about potentially putting Auburn somewhere at
the top. I was like, no, no, no, no, no,
we can't do that because on Week one the college
football season, the Baylor Bears host the Auburn Tigers and
they will beat them. Baylor will win the first game
of the season. We'll set them up for a great season. Now,
they do have one of the toughest schedules in the
Big Twelve this.
Speaker 2: Year, but that's okay.
Speaker 5: They finished their season with six straight wins in the season.
Speaker 2: Last year.
Speaker 5: Of course, they played LSU very well in the Texas Bowl.
Speaker 2: We caught that al though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the flint Ouse was divided. But we're gonna win.
The Baylor Bears at number twenty three. They are bringing
back their quarterback's what's.
Speaker 2: That guy's name? Sawyer?
Speaker 5: Yep that they actually their offensive coordator is coming into
second year, so I would expect them to be better.
But they average I think four nan forty yards like
thirty three points in the back calf of their season
last year. Their offense is gonna be very good six year.
If we can just get David Ranted to stop talking
about the Wolf of Wall Street, we're gonna be all
right to that.
Speaker 2: Unnecessary huh we just the proverbial week.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: I grew up a Baylor fan. I'm a probably my favorite.
Speaker 6: Whenever I say anything about Texas or UT I get
craped for it.
Speaker 2: So well, my dad was a quarterback there shout out.
I'm a family. You know, we're Baylor.
Speaker 5: But I grew up in the old boyd Casey Stadium,
rip to that stadium, grew up their tailgating.
Speaker 6: Was it not McLaine or something like that or mcan Yeah,
beautiful of the stadium.
Speaker 5: But yeah, we're gonna go with Baylor Bears at number
twenty three. It ain't no guess it's what. It's gonna
be a rhyme. I like that, picked I was kind
of a little I was kind of a little freestyle
right there.
Speaker 2: Like it at number three. That ain't no guess that's
what it's gonna be. Sorry. Robertson a lot better last
year than people think. He's really good. Eight touchdowns, eight picks,
like I mean, he was just awesome.
Speaker 5: He is also named of the Maxwell and Warfle Award
preseason watching Danny any.
Speaker 2: Warf Danny, me, do I text you a really good pick?
I like that. I think their schedules pretty tough out
of the gates. It is. I like what they have
coming back.
Speaker 5: Auburn week one, SMU week two. Then they didn't play
Arizona State week four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who got picked to, you know, be the leader
in the clubhouse in the Big twelve the unofficial media polls.
Speaker 2: It's okay. I think they're gonna win a few of them.
Speaker 5: They'll lose a few of them, but they're gonna end
the season at exactly twenty three.
Speaker 2: Oh man, people asking if I had a stroke, I
don't know, what'd you do? I mean, count sometimes I know,
then he said, and then Brennan says he doesn't even
know what he did. Cte, oh Man, what I do?
Speaker 5: I passed out again. I'm trying to think of what
you would have done. I don't know, because we bought
up Dave Koresh. No, do you ever watch that series
mini series I did about the event. I did remember
that event happening when I was a young.
Speaker 2: Lad in Tyler, Texas. Scary stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I'm nervous that the CTS kicked in so much
that I'm just having episodes up here and don't even
know it. And the worst part is you're probably so
CTU field as well.
Speaker 2: You didn't notice it.
Speaker 5: No, I'm blackout all the time and I don't have
ct I never was had a diagnosed concussion.
Speaker 3: What now probably a few undiagnosed? Well, yeah, who among us?
All right, that's your number twenty three team. I think
we're off to a good start. I think we're off
to a great start, our first Power four team. I know,
look at us, Oh, Boise State, Memphis and.
Speaker 2: The Baylor Bears.
Speaker 3: All right, sick, we'll take a break, close out hour
number two of CTE ot B.
Speaker 2: When we come back here on one of four five
ESPN bend rouge a bench. I really don't know what
you do.
Speaker 3: I don't either, Gosh, maybe I just need to go
grab a dose, Sechies, Maybe I need to go for dose.
No matter what the situation is, it's a good time
to go four dose heading into the weekend, probably for
a lot of us, the last weekend before school gets
started back, so kind of it got to that last
one mm hm. Go kick your feet up, tell you
by the pool, go to the lake, hang out, go
to the golf course. Whatever, great situation, great time. Never
a bad time to go for dose.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, sometimes it's a six pack type of weekend.
Sometimes it's twelve. Sometimes it's a full case type of weekend.
You don't know, you don't but always be prepared. Go
when you're shopping, when you're at your local market wherever
it is, and you're like, eh, feeling like a couple
of cold pops, make sure you make it a go, seckies,
go for dose that cold, delicious, golden Mexican lagger. There
is absolutely nothing better. So delete some beers, drinks possibly
no seconds.
Speaker 2: Best I think can thinks at.
Speaker 1: Dot com dot com from players to legends, Hester and
Flynn breakdown l s U Football like only champions can.
Speaker 3: All right, so we figured it out. I did not
have a stroke, and I'm a little surprised by the
people that didn't. I didn't know the reference. Abo shout
out to you. It's the Sorority Girl video where they're
like saying, what college you're going to go to? Right?
And they just they start talking but there's not there's
not real words, and one of them was Baylor with
the sick them. So she gets up there and didn't I'm.
Speaker 2: Taylor play the video video. Yeah, I bet if Matt
wants to play the video at three o'clock he can
do it. Wouldn't be shocked by that, Like that's on, Daniel.
We've played that video I think three times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna play it four that if we could
play videos, I feel shocked.
Speaker 2: It's my favorite video.
Speaker 3: It's like whatever the Abilene Christian one is if I forget,
but like, that's my favorite one. She has the Abline
Christian shirt. Whatever they're saying is because I didn't know
what it was. I was like, I was expecting the
Baylor sick on.
Speaker 2: It's scratch them cats? Which one that might be? That
might be it?
Speaker 7: Whichever school that's why.
Speaker 3: Oh it's so good that's been on air for two hours.
Could have gotten it fixed. Two hours, two hours, two
hours of the show. No video, Yeah we don't. We
don't even have our little TV's up there. So like,
if we don't have our little TVs up here, are
we even on eleven thirty am The Tiger? Are we
even on ninety four to seven ESPN Alexandria? Who knows
where are we? I don't even know.
Speaker 2: We don't even have our times? Are actually listening? That's
