Speaker 1: 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: Ham'sday.
Speaker 4: Hester and Hester got it, Fia.
Speaker 1: Your locks in to off the bench control the live
from the Raising Kine studio. Here's Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 5: You yeah, yeah, yeah, Yo, here we go.
Speaker 6: Bring it.
Speaker 5: You tummy because I could button because I could the
button works.
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning. Hello.
Speaker 5: How are we doing living? You've been in here prepping
a lot. You're you want to test to see who's
more preps?
Speaker 7: No, okay, depends on the topic. Asking about the World
Baseball Classic? What's got you?
Speaker 5: B I got you to watched all of it last night.
We're gonna have a comeback. Brice Harper was going to
tie it up when it was eight to five?
Speaker 6: Watch that too? How p I P? It's p I
P picture picture young that we remember that p P.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I don't know the button ever works,
but bottom right ahead.
Speaker 8: And then you got that that that new TV, that
new edition that you could change it to which corner
you wanted to see.
Speaker 5: It was basically the quad box for the quad box,
but you can only have two awesome.
Speaker 6: It was like we were you have four now so
that we're Michael J.
Speaker 7: Fox not impressed by.
Speaker 6: You would have been? You definitely would have been.
Speaker 5: That was a great night of baseball, and unfortunately Team
USA didn't, you know, finish it.
Speaker 6: But I know I felt like they were going to.
We did get Bryce Harper.
Speaker 5: Off that teams that I hadn't seen him touch a
ball yet.
Speaker 7: Execute him. You can't if you can't represent your country gone.
Speaker 6: I really am questioning if he loves America. I really
didn't think he's gonna tie it up like it. I
really ship.
Speaker 8: At least they were judged. Then he came up at
the end struck out. I think I was throwing some
nasty stuff. Can be, Bobby, How.
Speaker 6: Do you lose to Italy?
Speaker 5: I mean like their rosters American players with Italian here.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so like obviously a lot of a lot of
rules happening. It wins USA is in. I guess he's
on the mounds on the mount Italy.
Speaker 6: I so praddy right now? Thank you? You know that?
Uh yeah, LB, it doesn't matter place. Come on, come on, hold.
Speaker 7: On, I wanted this for you so bad.
Speaker 6: Think about it.
Speaker 7: It's okay.
Speaker 6: I told you.
Speaker 5: See how the team that I like I can't stand
more than any team.
Speaker 6: Phillies.
Speaker 7: Yep, I'm so I could not be prouder of you
right now.
Speaker 8: Yes, maybe I might not be caught up on LSU
baseball just yet in my early baseball fandom career.
Speaker 9: Yeah no, but you know that former Tiger Aaron Nola
is not only on the mound for Italy in the
World Baseball Classic, but you also know that he plays
for the Phillies.
Speaker 7: So that's good enough for me.
Speaker 6: We're making it. We're getting there. It's baby steps.
Speaker 8: And this whole like patriotic situation has really helped like
ignite the baseball thing. LSU losing almost a lot most
of the games has not ignited the fandom yet, right,
but the USA patriotism thing that's kind of ignited it is.
Speaker 10: That's gonna do it for you like Olympic hockey did
for a lot of people.
Speaker 6: Yes exactly. People were like, wait a minute, this is hockey.
Speaker 8: That's pretty pretty nice little sport, pretty nice little sport,
pretty fun to watch.
Speaker 7: You're like, oh, this is baseball.
Speaker 8: Baseball thing. It's kind of like people got woke up to,
like Paul Skans a lot of people got introduced to
Paul Skins. Obviously they've heard his name, they've never witnessed
him pitch, because yeah, he plays for the Pirates. People
were on from coast to coast were like, wow, he's
actually yeah, pretty good stuff.
Speaker 6: I think.
Speaker 10: They're like, why aren't more of his games on TV?
And then people were like, well, you have to understand
he plays for the Pirates.
Speaker 5: Why does he have a losing record every year with
the best era in baseball?
Speaker 6: C Young, what's going on there?
Speaker 11: It only gives up a run of game. Where are
they losing?
Speaker 9: The only reason I know anything about the Pirates is
because Paul Skins is on that team.
Speaker 6: M hmm, Well, let's go Italy or go to Mexico.
Speaker 9: Only if they win by more than five runs or
four runs. If they win by less than four or
less four or less, USA is out because of the
type breaker.
Speaker 8: So Mexico, if you're gonna win, like, let's get let's
get the bats hot, let's.
Speaker 11: Let's go get a little nine nothing victory.
Speaker 8: So yeah, there's gonna be a three there'd be a
three way tie, and between those three teams it's cumulative
score given, So between those three, not the whole pool,
just between those games, and then it's divided by the
number of defensive outs as well. Yeah, so USA holds
advantage there because yeah carry the one being.
Speaker 6: Kind of a weird tiebreaker rule. Huh. Yeah, stuff like
that happens.
Speaker 8: My team America's manager has done pretty good job knowing
the rules.
Speaker 5: Mark the rules, did not know the rules at all,
didn't know that they had their ticket. I'm pretty sure
Mark de Rosa is an ivy leaguer too.
Speaker 6: What's gonna happen? He didn't know the rules, which is
a like absolutely absurd. Yeah, he went to pen He's
an he's been in books too much. He and worried
about sports. Yeah, here's my thing.
Speaker 5: You got.
Speaker 8: You got all these highest play player players in the
Major League Baseball all coming together for this team and
like seemingly giving everything they got, like playing they're absolute
hey l off right and like buying in and being excited,
which is like kind of the kind of the question
Mark you have and things like this that their their
teams are in spring training, they're getting ready for a long,
long season, Like there is buying from the best players,
like you get the like the coaching to match as well.
Speaker 10: It's gonna be really funny if, like, so they win
by less than four US is out. He shows up
for practice the next day, nobody's there. He's like, guys, like,
where in the quarter? Where's everybody out?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well, his roster decisions. Let you know that he
thought they were good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, that's what he's said. He said it too.
He's like, I'm gonna get some guys on the field,
like he said it before. I mean, you can even
tell the like before the uh, he's like in Italy's
got some Jimmies and Joe's or what's going on here?
Speaker 6: He's like, guys, it's okay, we clinched. We clinched. It's
not a big deal.
Speaker 8: Anyway, they got they're their bats were called not Bobby
w Junior though he's been on a he's been on
base eight times, Bobby Watt because some of the times
he scored.
Speaker 11: Eight times once. Oh wow, that's not good.
Speaker 6: What's up for something? Is that? You said pc A. Yeah,
that's the second time I've ever heard of that.
Speaker 7: You got this what's his name? What's his name?
Speaker 6: He did play for the Mets at one time.
Speaker 8: I know because I was in a card Break one time,
they're like pc A. I was like, what's that? I
know it was a human, that's what the mats. Who's
he played for now? The Chicago Cubs? Okay, and he
stands for Pete Crow Armstrong.
Speaker 6: And he's got both those names on his back, Crow,
arm Shark Arms. But the reason for the hyphen.
Speaker 7: Is probably his mom man dad's last name.
Speaker 6: Ryan Williams is doing that this year. I see that
a lot, you know. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: Who hit the Grand Slam for LSU last night?
Speaker 6: Somebody that you talked about in the open yesterday.
Speaker 9: Oh my, I was testing him because we talked about
him this morning.
Speaker 7: I was making sure you still knew yep, oh my.
Speaker 6: I don't remember it.
Speaker 7: Got to add the junior in there.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, it's part of his name. It was a tank.
It was Bob.
Speaker 9: Let me see if I can find the exit velow
on that, because it was crazy.
Speaker 6: For PCA.
Speaker 5: His father's last name is Crow, his mother's last name
is Armstrong. Instead of choosing one, his family combined them
into you guessed it, Crow Armstrong. Pete is the son
of Matthew John Armstrong, an actor. His mother, Ashley Crow,
known for roles in TV and film. They gave him
the hyphenage name at birth, so it's not a stage
name or something. He added later, Okay, maybe like that,
Like my birth weren't together, right, but they did. You know,
they had child and you want to honor both of them.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm. Good for him. Oh, I get it's I mean,
it's a lot of letters put on the back of
that jersey too.
Speaker 9: The exit speed on the Grand Slam was one of
eight point five, and then Jake Brown's home run was
one of six point six.
Speaker 6: Is the fast?
Speaker 7: Say it's pretty fast? You'll seem underwhelmed.
Speaker 8: Though, No, Yeah, I don't know, like I don't have
a comparison point. No, that's that's really fair.
Speaker 6: I was. I was. I was whelmed by the home runs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh, not overwhelmed by the entire performance.
Speaker 6: No, it's not fixed.
Speaker 9: Uh it was unwatchable until he hit the Grand Slam
for I.
Speaker 7: Think it was the fifth.
Speaker 8: So Grand Slams make baseball more exciting, Well, production makes way.
Speaker 11: Why don't they just get up there and hit a
home run every time?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Just do that? Heck are we doing? It? Was
nice to see Chris Stanfield even though the prettiest bat.
Speaker 7: No, but I'm gonna give him a pass for It's still.
Speaker 6: Nice to see him out there. You got him.
Speaker 11: Yeah, he was out and left.
Speaker 7: You have to deepen, you have the last out of
the game.
Speaker 10: Started worrying a little bit because like, look, I get it,
coaches are vague with injuries. Chris Stanfield was not out
over a month with a bruised hand. Like, let's let's
get that out of the way right now. And the
number last year Jay said in February. I think he
actually said it on this show. You know, we expect
Gavin Guidry back any day now. And Gavin Guidry didn't
picture the whole year because he kept lingering. When I
saw Stanfield was out over a month, I was like, oh, no,
is this another like Gavin Gidry, they don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 6: It was good to see him out there. Baseball want
to know Stanfield.
Speaker 7: And how about santi Also Santiago Garcia.
Speaker 5: He was really the hear of the game for Yeah,
good two and two thirds, only gives up one hit,
strikes out four, had command on the.
Speaker 7: Mound, best outing he's had.
Speaker 6: Didn't have any walks.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he looked really good.
Speaker 10: He sudden he's getting better and better every outing, because
I remember he was coming in from Oregon. Nobody's like, oh,
you got a really good reliever. He's kind of underwhelming
opening weekend. Nobody's like, okay, you know, how's this going
to work out?
Speaker 6: He's been is Sharon in the game?
Speaker 5: I mean they pitched the final five innings of that game,
because before that it wasn't great. Or that you were
giving up pitch, you're getting up free passes wasn't great.
I ever a grizzy did Okay, still like you won,
which is good because you've been losing.
Speaker 6: But it still.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Creton's probably better than the teams you've been losing to,
to be honest. Yeah, so you at least found a
way and hopefully, like if that Grand Slam can't get
you going, because like the crowd is just like, please
give us something.
Speaker 6: Yeah did they did? They show a little juice? Yeah,
like energy afterwards. That's all.
Speaker 8: That's what I've been laiting to see, which is very much.
I have not seen any energy, no emotion.
Speaker 5: It's a great call, Bob. Then obviously clearly we'll play
the home run because it sounds like you didn't see it.
Speaker 9: No, okay, he's locked in on the World Baseball class.
Speaker 6: Let's go.
Speaker 7: He doesn't have LSU baseball parts and has MLB carts
and like.
Speaker 8: Look, with the daylight savings time, there is a lot
more playing outside later in the day, so children want
to be outside. I want to be throwing the baseball,
throwing the softball, jumping on the train. They want to
be doing all that stuff.
Speaker 7: That's good.
Speaker 5: I don't have a TV outside. It's definitely dark when
both those roam. But I get you.
Speaker 6: We'll start at seven one dark tiugh light way after
so we got them from baseball practice and still watch both.
Speaker 8: But I sure all right, just being just being a father,
that's all you can be best father, I can be father, husband,
business owner. We like to sit around the dinner table
with no screens on so we can communicate, talk to
each other about our days. Fantastic, and I won't they don't.
Then I'll put mama us a shirt and watched America.
Speaker 11: To eat to the Italian to.
Speaker 5: A team that was a tough one, A team that
drinks and espresso after they hit a home run.
Speaker 6: That's actually kind of cool, right, I'm being honest.
Speaker 7: Cap in the dugout.
Speaker 6: Express is gritty.
Speaker 5: Now, it's strong.
Speaker 8: The cup that it goes into not the grittiest looking cup.
That's what's inside.
Speaker 7: Pretty great.
Speaker 10: The cup and the process of drinking it not super gritty.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a strong drink for sure. Yeah, okay, a
normal cup, Yeah it'd be tiny.
Speaker 11: Put it in a normal coffee shot shot class.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, all right, we'll show you the home run.
I'm looking forward to play it.
Speaker 5: A great call of electricity in that hit, an NFL
blockbuster trade. That's like just playing skirt about that too.

Speaker 6: Go flowiv dot com.
Speaker 5: All right, So, typically to get the show started, we
would talk about an Lshue deal, a New Orleans Saint Steele. Hell,
we'd even talk Pelicans sometimes if it was worthy enough.
It hadn't been in a while, but we would.
Speaker 6: We'd dabble.
Speaker 5: But this story's kind of so wild, and it kind
of gives you an idea of what happened sometimes in
the NFL that I wanted to start here because the
Las Vegas Raiders announced Tuesday that the Ravens have backed
out of a trade agreement that would have sent all
pro defensive van Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange,
as we talked about the other day for.
Speaker 6: Two first round picks.
Speaker 5: Now, no details were provided, Like you didn't have like, hey,
here's the reason in the Raiders announcement. But league sources
kind of believe that the Ravens backed out because of
medical concerns that arose during a physical. And I also
bring it up because also, remember, trades are contingent on
players passing that physical. Aren't official. Just like all of
these signings that we're talking about and all the ones
that were waxing poetic about, they're not official until three
o'clock today.
Speaker 6: Teams can back.
Speaker 5: Out, players can back out, agents can tell a player
to back out. It's just so till today, it's just
so uncommon. This is like handshake agreement to you.
Speaker 8: And it used like i'ven't really never heard of it
being announced and team like at least announced by teams, right,
and things don't happen. And I'm not just talking about trades.
I'm talking about agreements with free agent. It's like all
these like like just like you said from two days ago,
all this big news with the Saints son and this
and all these great moves and people saying, well they
won this day one, they won this day too. Nothing
is official until today. Everything else is handshake agreement via
text message via call whatever it is, so and people
are really comfortable spreading that information and talking about it
because it never ever happened, never happens that it doesn't
get fully go fully.
Speaker 5: Through and Max could have failed a physical for the
Ravens and passed for another team, but it's completely changed
what his trade value is. The Raiders aren't going to
get what they got from the Ravens. Just not gonna
happen again. And it's also important and we're bringing it
up because it just kind of gives you an idea
of what can happen if this does happen. So the
Raiders get Max Crosby off the books, they think, okay,
so what do they do? Well, they go spend a
boatload of money Tyler Lindenbaum. They give him eighty one
million dollars sixty guaranteed. We talked about that way Walker
from green Bay three years forty and a half million
dollars to Kobe Dean from Philly three years, thirty six
million dollars. Quit he pay from Indy three years, forty
eight million dollars, Eric Stokes thirty million dollars, Malcolm Coots
one year, eleven million dollars. Jalen Naylor three years, thirty five.
Speaker 8: Dollars reset the center market by nine million a year.
Speaker 5: So now the Raiders still have cap space because they
had a ton so they can still take Max Crosby's
contract and absorb it.
Speaker 6: They're very lucky.
Speaker 5: But there's a lot of teams that if they just
all of a sudden got Max Crosby's contract back on
the books and they signed all these people, they had
to like, hey, see what had happened was my eyes
were bigger than my actual bank account.
Speaker 8: First of all, let's go back to them backing out.
The message that the Ravens released was very awkward. It
was like, we are backing out of the trade deal.
It like the and it was clearly somebody wrote that
press release and they worked on it, they workshopped it,
they got it approved, and they said, we're backing out.
I don't buy the whole failed physical thing, right, I
don't buy it.
Speaker 6: I'm with you too. Okay.
Speaker 8: So he had a knee injury this past year and
he played two months with that knee injury. They finally
shut him down. He had a meniscus repair. Okay, so
what nobody's going to pass that physical? Two months after
a meniscus surgery. You're not going to pass that physical now.
I guess you could make the argument he wasn't as
far along in his recovery or his rehab that we'd
like to see at this point, but nobody's going to
pass that physically.
Speaker 6: You trade him knowing that there's.
Speaker 5: An injury there, knowing that he's an experienced player and
has been playing defensive line in the trenches in the
NFL for years and years, like you know that there
is like you can be as strict or as unstrict
as you want to in a physical So I don't
buy the whole physical thing.
Speaker 8: So they either two things up him, and the first
one I say is probably the most likely that happened.
Speaker 6: They just get they got cold feet.
Speaker 8: They started saying, Okay, maybe this wasn't as good of
a deal as we first thought. They probably heard, they
probably listened off the bench, and so they obviously probably
saying that, okay, yeah, maybe we got fleeced.
Speaker 6: A little bit.
Speaker 8: Two first rounds is a high price. Or maybe they
started having a conversation with a Trey Hendrickson or something
and felt like they have something good and with somebody
else that are potential potential path to another pass rusher
that can fill that need for a lot less. They
got cold feet, is what happened here. It's not a
physical thing. Or maybe it was something happened with Max
Crosby that they didn't want to disclose. Maybe it was
something that they didn't like that they saw in that physical,
or something happened like off the field stuff.
Speaker 5: I doubt it. I'm just saying what could potentially be
one of the reasonings here. But if you were going
to sit here and say it's a medical thing, he
failed a physical, he was never going.
Speaker 6: To pass the physical, right.
Speaker 5: And the Ravens in twenty eighteen did something very similar.
They signed a receiver Ryan Grant from Washington to like
a three year, thirty million dollar deal somewhere in that ballpark. Well,
Ryan Grant and never missed a game with Washington or
in his career, never missed the game was always there. Well, okay,
that was like on the Tuesday before the league year,
Michael Crabtree gets released and then becomes available, they fail
Ryan Grant on his physical and sign Michael Crabtree with
that money.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the loophole that you can use.
Speaker 8: But it's never you like, how many people, like people
are gonna remember this, Yeah they don't remember that, so
nice pool, But like that's the loophole you can potentially.
Speaker 6: Use, but it's just never used. It's Bush League. Yep.
Speaker 8: It's like saying I made a deal, I regret it
now two years now, two days after the league year
has like seemingly opened, I know you can't sign until
this afternoon. We're going to pull it back. And the
butterfly effect, the tentacles that this move is gonna have,
not just between the Raiders and the Ravens but everywhere
else is a mess, is an absolute hot mess right
now because of this decision, and it's a Bush League
move by the Ravens, they should be punished, penalized, they
should do something, should happen now they that's not gonna
it's not gonna happen because they can blame it on
medical and there's nothing anybody can say. But it's just
like if you traded for Patrick Mahomes right now, he'd
fell a physical. Yeah, if you want a guy, it's
March so he failed physical on March ninth. He fell
March tenth. It's a meniscus. He complained he wanted to the.
Speaker 5: Raiders because they put him on IR That's why he
wanted to trade.
Speaker 10: His agent came out last night and said everybody involved
in these negotiations and knew that Max was going to
fail the physical and knew he's going to be out
to August because everybody knew this before they trade was agreed.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, But I tore a meniscus, had surgery and played
in the Sugar Bowl eight days later. Yeah, meniscus is
not that big.
Speaker 6: Of an issue.
Speaker 8: And again, this is not the Ravens saying that failed physical, right,
this is reports saying failed physical Ravens. The only announcement
they made is we've backed out. Now why it's it's
he or Bush League moved by them, or something happened
with Max Crosby on an off the field issue that
they were uncomfortable with.
Speaker 10: You were talking about them getting cold feet. They've let
eight starters walk in free agency. Eight if you know
who they've re signed. They've resigned backup quarterback Tyler Hauntley
and guard John Simpson. That's their free agent moves. And
they've let eight starters walk out of the building.
Speaker 8: So, like, I don't know what they're doing a lot
of them going to the Giants. Yeah, what's the common
de dominator there? From the coach that lost the locker
room last year? The players are going to New York.
Speaker 6: Right, they've been good, they've been good for a while.
Speaker 11: It's time for him to suck anyway.
Speaker 6: I mean, I never want the Ravens to be good.
Speaker 5: But completely honest with you, I've always hated the Ravens,
hated playing against them, don't like anything about them. I
liked Tarball, so like that part's gone. Now hell with them?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I like the Raiders fans, Like I
don't have any lost love for y'all.
Speaker 8: But like it's a bad situation. Like you finally get
to this point where like, all right, that's just a cable.
We got this money to spend our captain a good spot,
Like we got two first rounders for Max. He didn't
want to be Like we love Max, we hate to
see him go, but like we're it's we've got to
turn the page on this thing, and we're about to. Yeah,
and then got to first rounders. We start signing some people. Yeah,
you overpaid for a cinner, but other than that, you're
bringing in you get the first pick that new head
coach oh Man, things are proably feeling fresh and feeling
clean and feeling.
Speaker 6: Fast as a fan, Nah, not so fast.
Speaker 8: Got to pretty much go back on all those deals
you made and keep a disgruntled defensive end and try
to find somebody that's gonna trade maybe a first round
pick now.
Speaker 5: For him exactly. That's the thing. His trade value isn't
anywhere close now. Also, this could be a waterfall effect
because like Rashaun Geary, who like the Dallas Cowboys trading
a fourth round pick for or the Cowboys won an
Ed Dresher, now that.
Speaker 6: They are already wont an offer, it is very similar,
very well.
Speaker 5: So now that Max Crosby's back on the market, do
they say, hey, that trade that we have with the
aug Green Bay with that fourth rounder, we actually need
that fourth rounder to send to Vegas.
Speaker 8: Yes, And then Dallas is like, you know that offer
we had two days ago, it's not as good anymore
because you didn't accept it at first. It's like it's
you're not dealing with a bunch of puppy dogs negotiating
out there, like they're going to be as cut throat
as they can with it.
Speaker 5: If I'm the Dallas Cowboys, I have two first round
picks already, I say, hey, you can get the ladder,
you can get the second one.
Speaker 6: You're not getting twelve, you can have four fourth and yeah,
we'll give you.
Speaker 5: The second one that we have later in the first round,
and we'll throw a fourth rounder in there.
Speaker 6: And we'll take Max.
Speaker 5: And So the Cowboys if they walk away with Max
Crosby and Gary.
Speaker 6: And they only gave up a first and two fourths.
Speaker 5: Or because like the Raiders, got no power, right unless
they have multiple suitors who start bidding against each other,
they got no power because maxidn would be there.
Speaker 6: Yeah you're already trade.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah he's not. He'd play because he's Max Crosby.
He played, but it wouldn't be a great situation. He
wouldn't play all his heart.
Speaker 6: Please tell me real quick before we take a break.
Speaker 5: Y'all seen the photoshop of the doctor who felled Max
Crosby's physical and it Showburrow and the lab coat. I mean, like,
you are not bringing him into this division. I deal
with enough hell already, it ain't affordedly.
Speaker 6: Not dating Jessicalba again. I don't care.

a recovery for Omar Serna, who struck out with the

produces an LSU lead with a four run bomb.

and that's some omar cerner pits came in elevated and
left elevated.

and fifty four feet to left center.

got that strike out.
Speaker 5: That How do you feel about the juice? About what
the grand Slam?

Speaker 9: Yeahman hits a double and he's like York was on
first and York is turning second.
Speaker 7: Yeaman's like on his heels.

Speaker 6: I mean he's like it's Edward.
Speaker 10: Yeaman goes to third, he passes Zach York, Yeah, passes him.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's like on his heels and then he gets
I don't know why Zach York thought that he could
take that base.
Speaker 7: The ball was in front of him, he could see
what was going on.
Speaker 10: Man just wanted to get ninety feet from home. Guys
just wanted to get there.
Speaker 6: You're saying he's not fast. He got thrown that ball
a lot.
Speaker 7: He's Thicky Henderson, He's not fast.

Speaker 10: The the third baseman like could have leaned over tight
his shoes than tagged this like he was out by
a lot, bud. He caught the ball, set it down
when God Gatorade came back tagged yeah, my high.
Speaker 6: Come on, bro, bro, you know what their c which
is why they lost, which is why they lost. Yeah,
I didn't care if they win lose. Usually that leads
to winds. Yeah it typically, Yes, I.
Speaker 7: Had to laugh. Whenever York. God, I had to.
Speaker 6: He's running back to the dog. He's like, dang, he
looked after the pain or like no.
Speaker 7: I had to like genuinely laugh at that.
Speaker 9: That was funny that he thought he could and then
he looks at coach.
Speaker 8: I said, the guy that hit it was a double
so he had to go to third right.
Speaker 7: Well, I think that he saw ye and.
Speaker 6: Left because he saw York. Yeah, they both could have
held up. It would have been that stitch. Yet I
knew that two people couldn't be on second. That's true.
Speaker 7: That was a great question by you. Yeah, where to go?
I just had to keep this momentum going.
Speaker 6: Better?
Speaker 5: Yeah, going on the road in the SEC. Vanderbilt hasn't
been thriving.
Speaker 6: There, No, they've been. They've been kind of like l
shoes not being good.

Midweek games really only matter if you win so.
Speaker 7: Or if you're losing your weekend games.

there's a lineup card, the whole deal.
Speaker 11: So they keep scoring.
Speaker 5: Mid Week people people pay money to get in. I
know that wouldn't for you. That's for other people.

Speaker 11: They keep scoring midwek to them up up?
Speaker 6: Are you about to be Midweek doesn't matter? Yeah, oh no,

matters when we win.
Speaker 7: Okay, all games matter.
Speaker 10: I hear the hot dogs of the Concession stand fast
the same in midweek.
Speaker 6: Lost the same two.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying that because we've lost quite a few
games in the last couple of weeks, so I'm trying
to be positive.

Speaker 1: Off the bench. Presented by Hoodental.
Speaker 5: All right, welcome back in ot be here live from
the Raising Kanes studio. A move that we talked a
lot about yesterday actually did in fact happen you lose
to Mario Davis to the New York Jets. We were
looking at the free agent linebacker list. We talked about
some of the veteran players that were on it. We
talked about Bobby Wagner, We talked about Lavonte David, We
talked about a reunion with Cayden Ellis. Because you needed
somebody to have a veteran presence in the middle of
your defense. Dan Stetzman, you know, tough player. Drafting him
in fourth round certainly going to give you something. You
got Pete Warner there, but you needed something different and
they got a guy that they know very well in
Kiden Ellis to come back. He signs a thirty three
million dollar free agent contract. Now Kate Ellis can do
a lot of different things for you. He also can
get after the quarterback. He's a great rusher, shout linebacker
right in the middle of defense. Veteran guy love the move,
think it's the right move. They needed to add a guy.
They get a guy that they know very very well,
and you take him away from the Atlanta Falcons. Another
great signing by the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, you feel a position in need.
Speaker 8: And I think, I mean, you gave a list of
linebackers that it could be, so certainly, Kate Ellis is
a one that has come on, has been a really
good player for a decent amount of time. Now four
years with the Saints, three years with the Falcons to
thirty three million dollar contract, three years twenty three million guaranteed.
And last year with the Falcons that one hundred and
seven tackles, ten tackles for a lost, three and f sacks.
Thenk you had a pick and a force fumble. Just
kind of like a lynch pin guy in the middle,
a good, good run defender, get his shutting blocks in
the at the liant.
Speaker 5: Of scrimmage, make it a pressure rate in the NFL
last year with people who had at least one hundred
and fifty pass rush attempts and.
Speaker 6: Was a captain.
Speaker 8: So like, it's one of those guy that you think
can come in and certainly be a veteran leader, but
a guy that is going to And I think, Taylor,
you told me this earlier. I think in six years,
only missed six games, five games. Hows I missed the
game since twenty twenty.
Speaker 6: Did you miss a game with the Falcons. Yeah, some
three seasons. You had three years in a row, a
seventeen games. Don't let the Saints get hot. Let them
get hot, Mickey Lomas, what are we doing? Listen to
no TV. You're doing well, You're being good at your job.
Speaker 5: If you want our next always say that. If you
want our next move, stay tuned. We got two more hours, Mickey,
We got you right at what credits do? Full back
on the Mine. God, it's coming
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
