Speaker 1: Off the Bench. We have Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied to come
off the bench. Our two of Off the Bench live
from the Raising Kine Studio.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in hour number two of O
t B. Here live from the Raising Kine Studio. As
we get this hour, Starter want reminds you bet our
friends over at K two Z Blinds KTOZ Blinds dot
com is the website KZ and tiers an outdoor living
But doing this is two thousand and four, I tell
you all the time. But just as a reminder, I
know that's a long time ago because I was in
college back in two thousand and four and that's been
a minute.
Speaker 4: So you don't stay in business that long.
Speaker 3: You don't thrive like they have over k Z unless
you're doing everything the right way. That's exactly what's going
to happen when Brandon Barton and the team come out
to your space. Let them build your dream ideal living space.
It can be inside, it can be outside, it can
be outside. That takes care of the inside. They've done
that for me, they'll certainly do it for you as well.
Have them come out. Go to the website today again
ktoz blinds dot com.
Speaker 4: Look in the top right corner of the website.
Speaker 3: It's going to give you the contact information for your
area in Louisiana. Again ktoz blinds dot com to a
turn the ball over. We're talking about them not gonna
work her anymore, not gonna work anymore. He got released.
I believe it's gonna be a post June release. It
saves him a little bit of money, but he's about
to set the record for dead cap space.
Speaker 5: Let's go.
Speaker 4: The cap hit has always said million dollars of dead money.
Speaker 3: I think they get a chance to spread it out
among two years if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, it's
gonna be a dead cap hit of ninety nine million
dollars dead money spread out in two years.
Speaker 6: Not really the record you want to set as a quarterback,
Like this team hated me so bad they were willing
to take one hundred million dollars cap hit for me not.
Speaker 5: To even be on the team.
Speaker 4: That's tough.
Speaker 5: It's a tough luck.
Speaker 7: What was uh Russ was like fifty five million when
Denver moving one after a year fifty five something like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, just to give you an idea, double it,
triple it all right, let me look just kidding, Like
the Saints, I believe have the most dead money and
sixty five point seven million. Yeah, the New Orleans Saints
sixty five point seven million, So two is almost like,
even though it's gonna be split in half, he's almost
like setting the record by himself. Now that adds to
the Dolphins. Oh never mind, Oh wait, there's more.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 3: I think now that this has hit, the Dolphins take
over the Saints money seventy three million. Let's Saints are
dead last.
Speaker 4: There we go, boy kicking up. Uh, and this is
gonna happen when teams kick the can down the road. Uh.
Speaker 3: Like, for instance, the Chargers have the most money to spend,
they only have five point five million in dead money.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 4: The Seahawks, who just won the Super Bowl. So pretty
good way of doing things.
Speaker 3: And we've said John Snyder's probably the best manager in
the NFL.
Speaker 4: If he's not the best, he's one of the best. Three. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No matter who you are, you know you can't argue
they have dead money for the Seahawks four hundred and
eighty three thousand, So It kind of gives you an idea,
Like if I went around the playoff teams in the
NFL and like the dead money, and you'd be like,
wait a minute, the Rams have only nine million, The
Broncos only have a million, The Chiefs have nine million.
Let's see another. Let me find another playoff team. The
Bears have twelve million.
Speaker 6: Well, these things happen when your franchise quarterback isn't your
franchise quarterback who you once thought.
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, it happens.
Speaker 6: Not every contract is going to be good, but especially
if you swing and miss at that position because of
the market. Yeah, it's it's gonna flip on you and
the teams you're gonna list in the top five or
ten in.
Speaker 5: On the good side of dead caps.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be teams that either have a franchise quarterback
that's a top guy in the league, or somebody that
is on a team friendly deal, or a new quarterback,
or or a quarterback on a rookie deal. Yeah, I
mean at all overall, and I get it, there's other
positions that take cap hits. I think camp you know,
Cam Jordan's gonna have a cap bit this year for
the Saints. I get that that happens. But quarterbacks a
big one, the big market mover there, as it should be.
It's the best, but two a not the best. Ninety
nine million dollars cap hit for one team, how about that.
Speaker 5: We're gonna fire you. We're gonna wait until June.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now it's gonna be tough for to Iloa
to find.
Speaker 4: A job right sitting there, Like.
Speaker 6: They'll probably wave the tampering period for him. You can
just go play somewhere else for a little bit. Nobody's
gonna miss the off season. Yeah, that's its situation. But
he's been well, he's getting more compensated for it.
Speaker 4: He is. But as you know, like his competitives to
like especially.
Speaker 6: I mean that guy like you could say anything you
want about to about his play or whatever. Uh, but
he is obviously an extremely competitive guy, even to the
point where he's you know, some doctors may say he
might be risking his life or at least his quality
of life to play to play the game of football,
which he obviously has done. Played through a lot of
people saying he shouldn't play just because of the concussions
and things like that. And even though I was saying
I'm like, you got to protect this kid. Hey, and
I'm as I feel like, you know, we're we sit
here where as hard nos as it comes, like get
in there, rub some dirt on it, go play, play injured.
Speaker 5: Whatever it is. We celebrate that in sport.
Speaker 6: But like that, that was at the point with his concussions,
it was like, all right, well, you've got to protect
him from himself. Like if we're talking about brain damage,
which the next one could be. And don't try to
say that some of those concussions weren't concussions because we
all have eyeballs.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we've all had concussions. Yeah, I don't know
what it feels like. I know the signs after I
watched the tape and be like that's me. I did that.
Oh yeah, okay, your hands aren't supposed to do that.
Speaker 6: I wish him well, a good kid, like he's made
some made some comments in the media that like when
they were struggling that you could question and yeah, whatever,
he seems like a good human being.
Speaker 5: He's a talented guy.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, and I'll say this too, and you like,
you know this playing quarterback more than anybody. But when
you get drafted high. It's a lot of pressure, and look,
you get paid for it, you get compensated for it.
But he was like different than even getting drafted high.
It was tank for Tua, Like it was a real
thing in the NFL, Like people were like tank for Tua,
Tank for Tua. There were some people that thought Tua
Tongue Ballo was maybe going to get drafted to have
Joe Burrow, like even going late into that process, if
you remember, that was a great quarterback class as well,
like it had justin Herbert and others. There was a
lot of people that had a lot of belief into
a tongue by Lowa that he was gonna be the
savior of that franchise, that he was finally going to
answer you know their question. They've had a quarterback really
since Dan Marino, and so, like there's pressure of getting
drafted high, but there's also pressure when you're the tank Guyah,
we're tanking for two or tanking for whoever.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was like the first time that I feel
like that saying got super popular for him, like with
him because.
Speaker 7: Coming into this last year, yeah, like before Burrow blew up. Yeah, right, well,
remember there were people even even going into the draft
like day before you knew Burrow was going one, and
it was always who's gonna be the next quarterback taken?
Is it gonna be t Is it gonna be Justin Herbert?
There were people out there that were like, if Miami
takes Justin Herbert over two a Tec of a Lowa,
They're gonna regret this for the next decade. I mean
they were like hardcore, like, do not pick Herbert over
to I mean, look what happened.
Speaker 3: Remember Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts also went in that draft,
So that does a good draft. That's even more difficult
for Dolphin fans that they can look at what Jordan
Love goes somewhere in the twenties twenty.
Speaker 6: Six and who knows what the Dolphins, how any of
those other quarterbacks pan out in Miami. I still am
of the opinion Miami will never be relevant from a
championship level just because geographically you're in Miami and you're
dealing with American adult males ages twenty two to thirty
in Miami. I think there's too many distractions American males.
Speaker 2: Bigger missing Round one.
Speaker 7: I got the twenty twenty pulled up drafted two, well,
one pick ahead of Justin Herbert, or the Eagles drafting
Jalen rag Er one pick ahead of Justin Jeffers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one.
Speaker 3: How did you watch their how did you watch their
college career and say, yeah, we'll make that.
Speaker 5: Who'd they pick?
Speaker 2: Jalen Rager from TCU.
Speaker 4: He's been on like seventeen, he's still in the league.
Speaker 2: Receiver, right, so like, yeah, they took a receiver, right, Like.
Speaker 4: Do you pick a This is the draft that Chase
Young went the oas.
Speaker 7: You've never seen the video of O'Connell and them on
draft night. It's it's really cool. You can find it
on YouTube. The Vikings draft room, like the war rooms
sitting there and they're like, Eagles need a receiver. Here
goes to Jefferson and they turned in the Jalen Rager card.
In Minnesota goes nuts in their war room. They're like,
we got Jefferson.
Speaker 3: Was Jerry Judy went fifteen, Ceedee Lamb went seventeen, Henry
Ruggs went twelve in that draft. That that to me,
and look, Ceede Lamb's is awesome. Jerry Judy is okay,
he's at the moment for sure, but Ceedee Lamb and
Justin Jefferson are like two of the best five receivers
in the National Football League.
Speaker 4: Yep, man, can you imagine?
Speaker 6: And him he's favorite my third child, jeff oh Jeosh
causing jeff and Jefferson.
Speaker 5: She loves him.
Speaker 4: Uh, you know who went twenty fourth overall that draft?
Speaker 6: Matthew and twenty twenty Yep, who's the team best player
in football?
Speaker 4: A fullback? Nope? I well wish a fullback went twenty
fourth overall? It plays guard?
Speaker 5: Nope.
Speaker 3: His name is featured in the movie The Hangover A
bunch Okay, his first.
Speaker 6: Name, bro, I'm super lost. Caesar Ah, Caesar Palace there
the hang Out.
Speaker 5: Joe. He went a first rounder?
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, twenty fourth?
Speaker 3: Ope, he was selected right ahead Brandon Ayuk, Jordan Love,
Jordan Brooks who just had a monster year linebacker for
the Dolphins, Patrick Queen t Higgins, DeAndre Swift teamed Johnson Taylor.
Speaker 4: He's pretty good.
Speaker 6: What team did season our play for Michigan? How many
good players in the NFL are from Michigan right now?
Top of your head?
Speaker 7: Good players like starts, stand out players.
Speaker 4: Nico Collins would be the first one.
Speaker 3: Blake korm is good, but I wouldn't put him in
that Caddymore like you're talking about I know eight eight
hugon Nico Collins, the best on offense, best on defense.
Speaker 6: All right, I'll give you a hutch Nico too, But
Niko has a tenth grader thrown it to him.
Speaker 4: Just made eight CJ.
Speaker 7: I've never seen somebody doing one to eight on a player.
Speaker 4: She hates him. Well, it's a card game.
Speaker 5: But it's a card game.
Speaker 3: He's got some big ones that aren't so the card game, pal.
All I gotta do is complete some basic passes. They
got a couple of cards sold well to be fair
for the Saints, though they did hit in the third round,
they just didn't know they hit, and they used the
player in a completely wrong way and Zach Bond, but
they did hit. They hit for somebody else, for somebody else. Yeah,
he's a All Pro player for the year.
Speaker 6: You were talking about John Snyder, the GM for the Seahawks.
I believe he absolutely is the best GM you're gonna
go because he how many gms out there have built
a Super Bowl winning team twice from the ground up,
And I'm talking about head coach, quarterback assistance. Everything completely different.
There's no there's no common denominator between those super Bowl
winning Most gyms don't get the opportunity to do that.
Speaker 5: But how many have done that?
Speaker 6: I mean you can't. I can't, off the top of
my head think of any Yeah, the Patriots did it
for a long time, but it was it was common denominators,
clearly right though, this is completely different.
Speaker 5: The only thing the same is the general manager. And
I'm sure some trainers and strength coaches, but.
Speaker 6: Like head coach, quarterback, key personnel, assistant coaches, completely different.
Speaker 5: You did it twice. Pretty impressive, very impressive.
Speaker 3: And we think the world of John Schnyder won because
he's I think the best and he hits almost every draft,
and two because he's like a great dude too, like
very willing to be a part of the team. Were
some general managers, how dare you talk to me? He
is not liking that at all.
Speaker 6: When I went on my free agent visit with him,
like we did the thing I went through and then
like we finished the day, me and him just went
we went slaging a bunch of beers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 3: So what we did on my free agent visit to Seattle.
You were there, We went to dinner. He was there
slamming beers they targeted, and he would talk to it
like he's awesome, good dude. But I and I'm not
even saying that because of that. But we were talking
about free agent. We're talking about bad deals.
Speaker 6: We're talking about you just talked about dead cap space
and they had four hundred thousand dollars in dead cap
space this year?
Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6: And they won the Super Bowl like it's obvious, like
he's got a way to do things. Who just paid
a cornerback a billion dollars this past weekend? The Rams
just played like, stop paying corners.
Speaker 3: They traded traded well, they traded for Trent McDuffie, gave
up a first rounder and a third round, and then
made him the highest paid every.
Speaker 6: Yeah, look at the Chiefs playbook. The Chiefs have won.
How many Super Bowls have they won the last decade?
They've won a lot and they've been to a lot
and they continue to win this past year as anomaly,
they never paid corners. Yeah, they get they draft corners,
they developed them, they bring in good veterans or whatever
it is, and then they let somebody else over pay
for them. They don't pay corners. ID have corners. It's
the and I keep saying that physically it's the hardest
position to play on the field. Cornerback, it's just hard.
You're back pedaling cover in one of the greatest athletes
in the world going full speed right ahead of you.
Speaker 5: Like it's hard. But teams that overpay that doesn't really
pan out. I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I would only put maybe Howie Roseman into the conversation
that you're talking about Eagles general manager, because he's kind
of done the same thing with.
Speaker 4: Two different coaches, two different quarterbacks. Because you had it's
probably good Tom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think those two are the only two that
are up for what we're talking about. Though that's good
comp I think those two are different than everybody else.
I'll put John one. I put Howie too, And it
pains me to say that. I'm kidding. I like Howie
Lott had a chance to catch up with him at
the combine. I don't see I don't know him, but
how he went to Florida. As soon as I saw him,
never mind, as soon as I saw him, he goes
an l shoe guy. I said I'd feel that way
too if record was that against LSU.
Speaker 4: He liked that one though, he did like that one.
Uh yeah, he's from Brooklyn, but he went to Florida.
He's a gator. There's a lot of gators out there
in the wild.
Speaker 5: It's unfortunate, really I meet somebody. Was he wearing sorts?
Speaker 3: No, he wasn't. Not the combine. He doesn't well macromaid
he does that at home. But he's the only other
person that would put in that, uh, in that same category.
All right, when we come back, I know we're gonna
have our guy Will Helmer's that's at eight thirty correct.
All right, So when we come back, let's have a

Speaker 10: Wow?
Speaker 4: Winning?
Speaker 5: Well, then I guess there's only one thing left to do.
What's that win the whole thing?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: So my first weekend winner is going to be a
player that plays the most important position in football.
Speaker 4: Player that is too gritty to be pretty.
Speaker 3: It's gritty over pretty, and that is alec Ingol, the
fullback formerly of the Miami Dolphins, signs a two year,
seven point five million dollars deal with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Let's go, baby, getting an actual fullback in there. You're
paying him seven point five over two years, which in
fullback money, that's like seven hundred and fifty million dollars.
Let's go to your argers bringing back the fullback, an
actual fullback, not a defensive tackle playing fullback.
Speaker 4: Alicking Gold the newest LA Charger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, stop it, gross full back, all right?
Speaker 6: All weeken Winter Taylor ahead and pull the video up.
American because I love America, USA, Support the troops, American.
Nathan Martin, when's the closest Los Angeles Marathon in race history?
Beating Kenya's Kenya Perennial Powerhouse being Kenya's Michael Kamani camu
b just point zero one seconds twenty six point two
miles comes down to point zero one. Things ahead and
play that video, Taylor, watch this. Yeah, this is the
finish line right here, Come on, come on.
Speaker 4: Play. Is the American the one that's hawking?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh place Kenya's in first a radio audience.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, no way, oh my.
Speaker 5: Let's gosh, let's go.
Speaker 3: He had no idea that he was getting hawked, like
he is distraught.
Speaker 4: Oh man, what a win.
Speaker 6: So America, Nathan Martin, I believe he's like a history
teacher or something like that quote. I made an actual
move five miles out. Can you imagine that? When I
saw no one else was picking up the pace, I
decided I needed to push. The thirty six year old said.
At a mile and a half to go, I could
see the leader, and with eight hundred meters ago, I
was thinking, I'm catching him. So if you're if you're listening,
you're not watching, there is. It's kind of hitting the
social media like he was probably twenty thirty meters behind him. Wait,
like right before the finish line starts sprinting. It's not
like the Kenyan guy was like going slow. But I
don't know if he thought he was behind him or what.
But my god, he crosses and touches that paper finish
line like like I said, point zero one seconds. So
can you imagine that twenty six point is it twenty
six point two miles of the marathon? Yeah, that guy,
the guy from Kenya ran twenty six point one nine
faster than anybody else. But that last point oh one seconds, I.
Speaker 4: Think it's like fingertip hits a tape.
Speaker 5: Let's go USA, America. Just count it. Another victory.
Speaker 4: That's a big one. That's a big one. That's that's
a sport that top.
Speaker 3: Of the dominated.
Speaker 4: Big deal.
Speaker 5: Hey, Kenya set down marathons.

Speaker 4: We're taking hockey from Canada. Yep, taking marathons from Kenya.
What's next?
Speaker 5: What's next? Cricket India?
Speaker 4: Look out World Cups here.
Speaker 5: Beating your soccer?
Speaker 3: Cricket India. Maybe India's India's unnoticed India crick going down

Speaker 5: Rugby New Zealand talking to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Elanda, do you have one.
Speaker 4: I do not. Okay, I got one for it.
Speaker 2: A lot of winning going on this week.
Speaker 4: Very fair.
Speaker 3: Uh So, speaking of soccer, if you are a true
like soccer fan, like you know the player Holt, he
goes about Holt.
Speaker 4: He's Brazilian and he's massive, big player. Right.
Speaker 3: Well, he was in a match in the Brazilian league
and he threw a punch. There was a mass brawl
and twenty three players can sit off with a red card.
Speaker 4: Now this was like a fine, do you have.
Speaker 7: Enough players to finish at that point? I mean, how
many year old a soccer two?
Speaker 4: This is when.
Speaker 3: In the twenties, low twenties, this is when uh you're
keeping it real. Hulks thirty nine, which in soccer years
is kind of like agent, right, so you know he's
played in like these massive, massive clubs. He's played for
Brazil forever. So now he's you know, finishing his career
in the Brazilian league. He made sure he got his
They had to stop play for like eight minutes and
it was just a melee. Twenty three red cards, multiple punches.
I think it was twelve from one team, eleven from another.
So it was pretty evenly shown. There you go to
a game down in Brazil, just google it if you're
at your desk.
Speaker 6: Not as dangerous as being like a goalkeeper in from
Colombia in the eighties.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 5: Give up the winning goal, Yeah, don't do that.
Speaker 2: I won similar to Jake actually kind of same area.
Speaker 7: So I've been tuning into a little bit more hockey
after the Olympia, and I was a I'll shoot yesterday,
so I had.
Speaker 4: The big screen idea, but I dropped the puck.
Speaker 2: The Sabers and Lightning.
Speaker 7: First off, it's eight to seven, which is a massive score.
That's like fifty five to fifty. Okay, fifteen total goals,
five fights, one.
Speaker 2: Hundred and two total penalty minutes.
Speaker 7: In this game, you want to talk about just physicality
and two dudes beating the crap out of each other
all night, five fights, one hundred and two penalty minutes, fifteen.
Speaker 2: Total goals scored.
Speaker 5: Love it.
Speaker 7: You're not going to watch anything more electric than that. So, uh,
we can winner Sabers and Lightning for putting on a
show for the fans and the Sabers when at eight seven,
So double weekend winner to them.
Speaker 6: Hockey's great when it gets like was it last year,
whereas US versus like USA Canada, like the four Nations
thing where you can fight for the Kentuck brothers got
into like before the puck was even dropped, it was like, yeah,
let's just go ahead and square up. It's great and
a lot of that, like they're probably friends, they might
even be teammates, and it like it's just they probably
text each other before they want to do this.
Speaker 5: All right, let me pass by, coach, Let's do it.
Speaker 4: Love it.
Speaker 5: So I think, Yeah, Gulf South said it here in
the chat.
Speaker 6: Isn't the Hulk the guy that divorce's wife and then
married her like sister.
Speaker 5: Or niece or something like that? Feels right?
Speaker 6: I remember seeing that the only reason I know of
him feels right.
Speaker 5: Crazy social media, it's wild.
Speaker 3: The scenes from the World Baseball Classic. It's good they've
been a winner as well. Yeah, I mean, just what
it means to the players that are playing for these
countries to see the excitement, to see the passion that
they have. Like I was watching a little bit earlier
today and it was Korea and Australia, and Australia was
down like five nothing. They scored like one run and
like they were fired up, and I'm like, oh man,
this is cool to see and we.
Speaker 4: Say it all the time.
Speaker 3: We played like literally the only sport that doesn't have
international play, and you know, American football. I hate it
because that would have been pretty cool to represent your country.
Speaker 9: Okay, we can winter seventeen year old Joseph Contreras. He
struck out Aaron Judge, So you can go back to
high school and be like, I know what it's like
to strike out Aaron Judge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in Brazil had some really cool stories. That was
one of them, for sure. The judge I went and like.
Speaker 6: I think he got him to hit into double play. Yeah,
but he got three outs against like.
Speaker 2: The heart, so he got Yeah, you're right, Yeah, he.
Speaker 3: Struck out somebody of note that was it with, Yeah,

Jake Clark told us last week it's not really about
like Florida. The Florida gymnastics team scored the highest point
total in the country of any team this year.
Speaker 4: She was right on the hills.
Speaker 6: LSU played like had had their best best score of
the year on the road away from the p Max
so like, and they won three of the four events.
Speaker 3: Like they did good. Yeah, they did good. They just
they just actually plays well into our narrative. So we're

Speaker 9: Off the bench with Jacob Hess and Mathelin, presented by
by you Automotive.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in O t B.
Speaker 3: Here live from the Raisin Kines studio every Monday, joined
by our guy will Helmer's Shout out to the g team.
Shout out to Louisiana. Loaded well, William, how you.
Speaker 4: Doing, good to see you, Good to see be here. Yeah,
won Friday, that's cool. They did long hit some home runs.
Speaker 3: Yeah on Friday, it's early, but it's troublesome, as we
all know, like the losses before when you lost to McNeice, okay,
and you lose one to Northeastern. It's like, look, we
can go back in twenty three and twenty five national
championship years. We can show you you've got losses like that.
Last year got run ruled by Northwestern State. So okay,
no panic. Yeah, it's starting to feel a little panicky. Uh,
you go on the road, tough environment, U ulll you
lose that game that that game has been lost before
for national championship team.
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about that one, right this one? Yeah,
these last two last to are a little troublesome.
Speaker 10: I think the last time I was here in the
stat last night, last time LSU's lost five games to
non conference teams less than a power forward coachman Ay's
first year Yeah here at LSU, which is we were
still in right, Yeah, that's unfortunate, but you know that's yeah,
how they do that.
Speaker 3: It wasn't an LSU baseball wasn't exactly l Sue baseball
when we were in school ever, from A Ford to
oh seven, so true, smoke days and them.
Speaker 10: Not the same, not good, but just you know, coming
off of that's like some real issues, you know, I
guess and you'd like to think, like I know better
than anybody, the guy leading the ship is going to
turn it around, right, it's just a matter of, you know,
if the team can buy into that. And for you know,
on the outside looking in, it kind of doesn't look
like they're playing. Obviously not playing to the best of
their ability, to all of their talents, but as a team,
you know, they're kind of a lot of guys are
taking individual at bats. You're seeing these seven pitch innings
from other teams where it's like, man, this guy's just
going up there hacking. They're trying to get you know,
something going, and that's just not the way that Jay's
offense works. You know that they're supposed to draw walks,
they're supposed to get the alder out of the game
quick by drawing the pitch count up. They're supposed to
you know, do all these things, and they're not doing them. Yeah,
and so they got to get on board with it,
and it just comes down to you know, getting back.
Speaker 4: To work for them.
Speaker 6: Usually when you know Baseball's a streaky game. Like you're
gonna go on slumps, You're gonna get hot, like I
get it. And as a team, you're gonna do that
as well. But what's concerning is it just seems like
almost everybody in the lineup is cold and nobody seems
to And we talked about this when we talked about
the show earlier, talked about the weekend earlier, the show
it was it does like I'm watching the game and
I'm waiting for somebody to impact the game, not just
from like on the scoreboard, but like impact the game
from like a leadership standpoint. Who's that guy who's the
dog on your team, right that's going to not put
up with it anymore and just say all right, enough stuff.
Maybe I'm not gonna like go and like choose somebody
out or maybe that's not their stop, but like enough's enough,
I'm gonna go to the bat, I'm gonna take this
game out.
Speaker 4: Or whatever it is.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's a picture on the picture mount who is
that guy who can.
Speaker 4: Sure? That was my that was my thing?
Speaker 10: I was I did that for you know, the better
part of three years at LSU, and they need some
juice like seriously, like if you know, there's not a
whole lot going on in the dugout from a leadership standpoint,
and the coach can't be that guy, you know, like
he can he can chew your you know whatever as
much as you want, but as if a players you know,
not doing that, it's not going to be the same.
And so they need you know, if you're juiceless, you're useless,
you know. And so that was a big thing of mine,
is like they need some just energy.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 10: It just seems like it's very lax of daisical in
the dugout and you know, the guys are out on
the field and it's just like all right right here
for another in you know, and so they need some
some kind of spark. And so I don't know, if
you know a guy you know, I know guys are
leading the team. You get Jake Brown, Steven mylem Gidry,
like those are all guys who have been there and
and one national championships and a.
Speaker 4: Lot of these guys have you know, they just got
to somebody's got to set up.
Speaker 6: Even if somebody's leading, you have to have people that
follow and like and take that team. And I talked
about like even when I saw them winning, it was like,
I'm seeing no like usually baseball, you get on base
you see this, right, So I'm seeing no celebration. I'm
seeing no f bombs like dropped when they strike out,
Like I'm not seeing much Like it's.
Speaker 10: Not like emotionally especially baseball, because it's so emotionally driven,
you know, from you know, it can change in an
instant and the momentum can swing with you know, one
at bat, and so to not see that as a
you know, a former player and a fan, and you know,
it's that sucks. You know, it's just they and a
lot of a lot of baseball is not about baseball,
you know. It's about the energy. It's about the the
mental stuff and and that's why, you know, it's so difficult.
But they just got to get back on track as
far as like you know, taking good at bats, taking
quality at bats, and having some freaking energy.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't have to come from like the very
best player on the team. We were talking a little
bit earlier, Will and it's like in twenty twenty three,
like that was Cableoso Cade was that guy.
Speaker 4: Last year. I think Ethan Friday did a great job
of that.
Speaker 3: It's like those guys when they were up and they
needed to do something, they were going to get it done.
Not the most talented guys, but I'll be damned every
time that they needed it, they always came through the ether.
Speaker 4: Fry is really really talented.
Speaker 3: I get that I'm saying, But like they weren't the
guys who were on the cover of the magazines coming
into the season, right, but they had such a strong
purpose on those teams because they were.
Speaker 4: I mean, Kate Blosso moved to the leadoff in.
Speaker 3: The National Championship game, right, I mean like he'd do
whatever he had to do exactly, Like if you need
it done, Cab was going to do it.
Speaker 4: Like they need somebody like that.
Speaker 3: It feels like to be able to step maybe somebody
we were talking about this too, somebody from Louisiana, somebody
that wanted to put on that uniform their entire life
and it means so much to them that they're not
going to let things go to the way.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Look, college sports is lot different now, as you know,
and that when it comes to that is and and
I think you're right, like having that Louisiana guy that
that Ky Beloso, that you know, Trey Morgan, that Kay Doty,
like those Core Gavin du guys.
Speaker 4: Like those guys.
Speaker 10: Obviously there's some big names in there, but those Louisiana
guys have a little pride and a little loyalty to
this program and they know what it means. And I'm
not I'm not at all saying that the rest of
this team doesn't.
Speaker 4: Guys from other places. We could go on and all
go on and on, but.
Speaker 10: Just there's something a little more about. Man, you lived here,
like I'm gonna live up to what LSU Baseball is.
Anything that put that gold jersey on, you know, or whatever,
and so they need a little bit of that and
they just need some buy in.
Speaker 5: It seems like, feel like they need they need a
night out together.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 10: I cooked for him last week, drinking beer, Hosselaiah. I
mean it was awesome whatever you did. Maybe it's my
fault if I need to boil crawfish or something.
Speaker 6: All right, So I all right, So how okay, you've
been in that dugout, so take us through. So, of course, Jenohns,
it's certainly not going to be happy. I don't know
what his coaching style. I don't know if anybody knows
what his coaching style is like with this situation happened.
I guess we will find out a little bit, but
just from a mentality of the team, like, so, what's
sex You got to reset? The next most important game
is the next game, right, so you can't change what's
happened in the past. You got a long season, SEC
plays soon to start. How do they feel, like, what
what do you do as a team to kind of
get out of this and start playing the way you
know you can play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it all comes from the team itself.
You know, they need to know.
Speaker 10: What I would have done is had a team meeting
just the players. And I saw them do it last
night individually with just pitchers and just hitters, no coaches
on the field after So I was pleased to see that.
That just tells me they know something needs to change
and outside of the coaches. And so that's where that's
where you start. And you just get back to work.
And it's hard because you know they have to take
an off day to day and then practice tomorrow probably
at you know, one or two, and then go play
Creighton and then all of a sudden you're on the
road again Wednesday to go to Vandy, and so you know,
it's it's hard to get that work in and so
then it then it becomes like, hey, like we just
got to do it.
Speaker 4: You know, we know it's there. We've seen it, everybody
else has seen it. The talent's there. You can be
a team together.
Speaker 10: You've seen flashes of that in games, and so it's
just a matter of you know, being competitive and making
the choice to go and do that.
Speaker 4: And it's you know, it's easier said than done a
lot of.
Speaker 10: The times because it's baseball, and it's about to get harder,
a lot harder from them because they're about to face
a lot better pitching and you know, who knows, you know,
maybe they perform better against.
Speaker 4: Ninety seven with a nasty slider baseball. It's like when
the guys going slow, not no chance.
Speaker 10: Yeah, everybody just keep throwing slow. But you know, I've
seen a lot of based L s U baseball. Look,
we started three and nine and the SEC my freshman
yearn and then all of a sudden we win you know,
regional in Oregon. You know, so there's a long season left, right,
and there's a lot for them to still figure out,
you know, as they get into SEC play and as
they you know, continue to you know, to learn about
the team and learn how to you know, freaking be
a team.
Speaker 5: That's right, you know.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a break and then maybe get
a little small preview of Vanderbilt YEP from Will when
we come back here on OTV. Off the bench, I
go to Russell Pools dot com the website for you
guessed it, Russell Pool Company. You go check out all
the quality work that they've done here in the South
Louisiana region. Now, if you're looking for your custom pool,
obviously they can give you whatever you're looking for.
Speaker 4: But I always encourage you, even if you have that
pool ready to go take a look at the gallery.
Speaker 3: There might be something that you pick from somebody else's
pool that you want to add to your custom pool.
Because they've done it all over at Russell Pool Company
from the start, everywhere in between till the end, and
then after your pool is done, they are always going
to be there for you.
Speaker 6: That's Russell Pools dot com. Russe Pools dot com your name.
When you think of the highest quality custom pools and
all of Louisiana. They've been doing in a long time.
Chris Anderson and the gang over there. They got a
fantastic team, easy to work with, the best to work with.
So if you have something to mind, if you have
a design in mind that you want to be, Hey,
this is what I wanted to look like. This is
how I wanted to function. This is you know, I
wanted to just dive in whatever. They can build it,
they can draw it, but if you don't, you just
want to go there and start the process. They got
two landscape architects on staff right there. They can help
you the entire way. That is Russell Pooles dot Com.
Speaker 9: Off the Bench with Jacob Hess and Mathline presented by
Buy You Automotive.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome by getting OTV got about a in
a half left here in this segment, we got our
guy Will Helmer's here with us, uh Will. The good
thing is misery loves company. And the rest of the
sec didn't farewell for the most part. Some did Mississippi
State Texas, but a lot didn't. Vanderbilt lost a game
to North Dakota State. They lost four in a row
at one point already this year. Now, some pretty good teams,
but they lost four in a row, so you have
an opportunity. Uh man, this is like if you don't
show life in an SEC series to open up the years,
that's real troublesome.
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly. You know, hopefully I've seen it before. They
you know, might come out as a different team. Yeah,
you know, it might just be an environment thing. And
you know, who knows, maybe they hit a little better pitching,
you know, thirty seven, you know, ninety three to ninety
seven with a nasty slider.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's that's just easy for them. Yeah, that'd be cool.
But uh you know, it's fun. It's fun. It's cool. Yeah,
that's fine with me. Yeah, just keep doing that.
Speaker 10: But and I just hope we don't face Creighton in
the Omaha. You know, that would be problem. Yeah, you know,
you know the rest of the SEC has also struggled
to it's you know, a good thing on that front.
You know a lot of people losing a non conference team,
so the RPI kind of gets messy all all throughout
the SEC and when you look into the end of
the season of like, you know, what's the top sixteen
team going to look like, We'll see what happens all.
Speaker 3: Right, Will Helmer's louis analoaded. Check out the podcast where
I got Jordi Klatta. Check out the G team. We'll
be back at number three OTB off the bench.
