And this is more. 188 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 5: This is more like fringe guys that used to upset me, 189 00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:59,039 like when I was a player, you know what I mean, 190 00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:01,320 Like the outside line, I'm backer at starting because of 191 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,799 an injury, and I'm like, and he's trying to let 192 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,000 everybody know, hey, I'm you know it got the tal ramneck, 193 00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:09,039 you know what I mean?

We know 200 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,440 what this, we know what this first pre season game 201 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:25,799 is about. 202 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 2: It ain't a big deal. The first game doesn't mean jack. 203 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:34,039 You know. It really bothers me about coverage of preseason games, 204 00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:36,639 and you just alluded to it. It's the third and 205 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,200 fourth quarter interview with the star player that is not 206 00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:44,600 playing in the game during the gameplay, and I'm like, 207 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:47,639 nobody cares. He's not You're not going to get any 208 00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:49,679 information out of this. I guess people. I guess there 209 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,440 are people. They wouldn't do it if people didn't care. 210 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,399 But like these guys, these cats that are playing the game, 211 00:09:55,919 --> 00:09:58,799 they're working their tail off and their whole family, like 212 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:01,519 everybody's watching them. People care about like they're trying to 213 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:04,440 make a team. And you were just like I was like, oh, 214 00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:06,279 what a great throw, a great catch, and they just 215 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:09,200 like skip right past and they don't show the replay. Uh, Like, 216 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:11,519 these guys could make the best play you've ever seen 217 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,639 in your life in the third or fourth quarter of 218 00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:17,879 a preseason game, and uh, I don't know. We're worried 219 00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,440 about what the star player who doesn't play is. How 220 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,440 is training camps going? 221 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: And it was funny. 222 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 5: DeVante Adams was on an interview. He's with the Rams 223 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,720 now and he was doing one of those interviews that 224 00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,039 you don't like, and there's like a big play in 225 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,000 the crowd popped a little bit and made some noise 226 00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:33,960 and he's like trying to look and trying to ask 227 00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:37,240 him questions, and he basically was like, hold on, my 228 00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:38,960 guys made a big play.

Go flowiv dot com. 287 00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 5: All right, so the Saints go down to the Chargers 288 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,639 twenty seven to thirteen in the preseason score doesn't really matter. 289 00:14:17,759 --> 00:14:20,279 If you win or lose a preseason game doesn't really matter. 290 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,159 It's about watching the tape and seeing how the performances 291 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,279 ended up. It's about seeing some things like was it 292 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,440 clean football? Did you have turnovers? Did you protect the quarterback? 293 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: Did we protect the quarterback? 294 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,399 Speaker 3: No, that did not happen. 295 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,159 Speaker 5: My biggest takeaway from the Saints preseason game the Saints 296 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,159 offensive line and now with Trevor Pinning leaving the game, 297 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,399 will clap leaving the game? I mean, you're down a 298 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:49,000 couple of bodies. But the Saints had their one offensive 299 00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:52,919 line out there against Charger backups and could not block them. 300 00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:57,279 Speaker 3: That is troublesome. That makes you worry. 301 00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, you had multiple parts of 302 00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,679 your first offensive line out there and they were losing. 303 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,120 The Chargers full back they're starting fullback who like Dabbles 304 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,960 and playing defensive line was beating some of your first 305 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,039 team offensive line. 306 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:17,799 Speaker 3: That's a problem. 307 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:25,039 Speaker 2: And we talking pass pro run blocking, what are we talking? 308 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,879 I saw the pass blocking your poison. You can better 309 00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:33,360 judge the run blocking, because you've read run blocking for 310 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:37,080 your entire career. Pass blocking, it just seemed like there 311 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,840 was one loose end a lot of times. But that's 312 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,159 all it really takes, right, That mean, no question about it. 313 00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:46,440 We'll get to the run game. If we can start 314 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,960 with the pass protection, that's fine. Caesar Luiz, who's a 315 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,879 first round pick. 316 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 5: Jack ln Hyde has had some moments, but like he 317 00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:59,759 got beat in a way Matt that you see undrafted 318 00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:02,120 free agents get beat. And I don't try, like I'm 319 00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:04,399 not trying to be disrespectful to undrafted free agents, but 320 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:06,879 when you get in there for the first time, it's 321 00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:09,679 going real fast, you forget all your technique. 322 00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 3: You kind of step on your own toes a little bit. 323 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,759 Speaker 5: And when I see a guy who is a veteran 324 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,120 player in this league, who is a first round pick, 325 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,960 do that, like that's troublesome to me. It's like he 326 00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:23,840 has got to be more consistent. This was the third 327 00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:27,279 fourth play of the game, and Spencer Ratler is having 328 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,679 to immediately leave the pocket because his first round starting 329 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,440 guard is getting beat by a backup. Now a good defense, Chargers, 330 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,559 I think we're the topping scoring defense. 331 00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: I think a year ago. 332 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:42,639 Speaker 5: But it's a backup on that team and your guy 333 00:16:43,159 --> 00:16:46,240 throwing a lookout block the third play of a preseason game. 334 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,360 You can say it's one play, sure, but it wasn't 335 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,000 the only the only play. I mean, you get a 336 00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:55,240 gift the Chargers muff a punt, you get the ball 337 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,120 back there and on you know, one of the biggest 338 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,879 I think it was third down Spencer Ratler doesn't even 339 00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:04,359 have the ball in his hands yet, and he's getting 340 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,119 pressure from the right guard immediately, right, and so like 341 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,799 those are things that it's hard to judge a quarterback. Now, 342 00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,200 Spencer ended up running down to the one yard line 343 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,400 and making a positive playout of it. But it's hard 344 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,400 to judge quarterbacks when you have pressure immediately, certainly interior 345 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,480 pressure immediately. 346 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,519 Speaker 2: Yeah. 347 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:23,839 Speaker 3: Yeah. 348 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 2: Watching the game, that is the number one thing that 349 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,960 stuck out to me was the pass protection woes with 350 00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:34,440 the with the starting unit. I'm not gonna I'm not 351 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,000 gonna take a deep dive into quarters one, two, three, 352 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:38,440 and four, but. 353 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 5: It was immediately with your starters against backups, and from 354 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,480 all the talk through off season leading up to training 355 00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:52,359 camp and up to this point through training camp, most 356 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,880 of the talk ninety eight percent of it. 357 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 2: It's been about the quarterbacks, been a little bit about 358 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,640 the receivers, what we're doing on defense, Tire Matthew, the 359 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:05,440 safety position, and most of we've kind of skipped past 360 00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:08,880 and overlooked the offensive line because all reports said, looking 361 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,440 pretty good, they're dominating. There's some good clips coming out, 362 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,559 and we were hoping that that was the one position 363 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,319 that we could at least count on to be serviceable, 364 00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:23,000 be good because of the draft stock, the draft capital 365 00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:25,920 they have in it, the least amount of like I guess, 366 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:29,000 question marks about who's going to be there at least 367 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:31,400 maybe maybe it's not the right fit, maybe they haven't 368 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,279 really shown what they should have. But like from a 369 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,119 personnel standpoint, the least amount of question marks, like we 370 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,799 got guys here, they should be good. 371 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a position that we're like, okay, right, all right, 372 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,279 but let me you feel pretty good about it. 373 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,799 Speaker 2: But for a preseason game, an absolute running game that 374 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,720 was abysmal. Yes, it was blocked awfully, and we were 375 00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,160 just talking about like the running backs, like he had 376 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,440 to shot the show out eor but like nineties Emmitt 377 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,200 Smith wasn't. 378 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 5: Making anything in that game, right, That's a very tough 379 00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:10,440 game to evaluate the running back position because when you 380 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,720 go and you look at it, and we'll just pull 381 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:15,799 up the box score, you had Kendre Miller six for 382 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,799 fifteen yards two point five yards per carrie, cam Akers 383 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,079 four for nine two point three yards per carry, Clyde 384 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,119 Edwards layer four carries six yards, one point five yards 385 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,960 per carrie. You had Jones junior head one carry for 386 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,039 negative one yards. 387 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 3: All right, there was nothing there. 388 00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 5: And I went back and I was kind of looking 389 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,559 at some of the tape this morning, and I don't 390 00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:40,319 know and you said it too, I don't know where 391 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,079 to tell the running back to run. So like the 392 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,400 problem coming in here on a Monday morning. It's not 393 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,480 that the Saints lost a preseason game. You can go 394 00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:49,759 zero and four in the preseason, make the playoffs. It 395 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:54,680 happens all the time. It's when you watch the tape 396 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,720 and the positions that you actually felt good about in 397 00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:02,519 camp were getting beat consistently in both things they do 398 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,079 protecting the quarterback and opening up lanes for the running back. 399 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,279 When you actually kind of look at the quarterback play, 400 00:20:10,759 --> 00:20:11,960 there were some encouraging things. 401 00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, quarterback. This is based on 402 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,359 one yame quarterback will not be the issue for the 403 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,759 New Orleans Saints in twenty twenty five. Not saying they're 404 00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:27,079 gonna be all pros, not saying they're gonna be top 405 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,759 ten or maybe top fifteen, but they are not gonna 406 00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:34,680 be the problem for this team. The problem is going 407 00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:38,000 to be the surrounding pieces around it. Defense, but that 408 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:42,359 offensive line, it has got a lot of work to do. 409 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,599 And it's not just like mental errors. Yeah, we're talking 410 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,559 about physically being just beat Yeah, not maybe not outstrengthened, 411 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,079 like the technique, the footwork, like everything, it's just they 412 00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:55,519 got beaten all ways. 413 00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:58,079 Speaker 3: It was weird, It was it was so weird to 414 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,240 see a player again. 415 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 5: Not just trying to pick on Caesar Wize, but he's 416 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,960 he's the guy that stood out to me. And also 417 00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:07,960 like he's just been he's been inconsistent. Like the highs 418 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,039 are high, but man, the lows are low. And when 419 00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:12,400 I say stepping on his own feet, Like when you 420 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,279 play offensive line really at any level, but certainly in 421 00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:18,000 the National Football League, like there is a process of 422 00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:21,839 going through your technique and if you don't do it, 423 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,400 you'll get beat by anybody. We always joke, like that 424 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,759 guy's gonna be an uber driver. Uber drivers are still 425 00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:29,920 really good football players when they're in the preseason. 426 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:34,079 Speaker 3: And like he never even like had a kickstep. 427 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,759 Speaker 5: It was like he was like high school Harry, like 428 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,119 let me just turn and try to pass protect you. 429 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,759 Like it blew my mind watching it on tape, and 430 00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:44,759 I kind of went back and like I was injured. Well, 431 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:46,839 I thought I thought maybe he got stepped on by somebody. 432 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,759 You know, It's like he couldn't get his noe. Nope, 433 00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:52,519 it was just bad technique. And so like that was 434 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:55,599 a unit, and again it is one game. But the 435 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,039 thing that worries you is the Chargers didn't have Khalil 436 00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:01,680 Mack out there. You know what I'm saying, Like the 437 00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:06,119 Chargers didn't have they're ones out there rushing you. It 438 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,279 was guys that are going to play for the Chargers. 439 00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:12,119 They're backups in a unit that you thought, Okay, look, 440 00:22:12,279 --> 00:22:15,559 whichever young quarterback comes in there, they're gonna protect him 441 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,440 all right. Whichever running back ends up being behind ak, 442 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,119 you know, they're gonna be able to be successful, like 443 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,559 I thought Ken Dre Miller. Actually, like there was a 444 00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:27,240 couple of moves that he made that almost texted the 445 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,039 group like Okay, I get while he's getting second and 446 00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:32,839 third chances right because he's sudden. I'm like okay, but 447 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,400 it doesn't really matter how sudden you are. 448 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: It suddenly got hit in the face exactly. 449 00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:41,079 Speaker 3: He would make two guys miss like oh but. 450 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,079 Speaker 5: Like that in my hope is if I'm trying to 451 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,200 be glass half full about anything, maybe once they're they're 452 00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:54,680 tight ends. Like maybe maybe you know, because Foster Moro 453 00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:56,720 is obviously somebody that helps him in the run game, 454 00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:59,240 like maybe when he gets like Juwan Johnson is a 455 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,839 converted receipt, so like. 456 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 3: Maybe the top maybe maybe that helps you. 457 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,279 Speaker 2: Lost is gonna help him go that kickstep? 458 00:23:05,559 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 3: But my yeah, he just true, my gosh. 459 00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:12,079 Speaker 2: I mean, let me maybe the Chargers are like the 460 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,200 eighty five Bears, but. 461 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 5: They are they really would I mean they led the 462 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,960 league in scoring defense, but if they weren't one, they 463 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,519 were like top three. But it wasn't It wasn't there, guys, 464 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,640 like you didn't have Derwin James wasn't out there. 465 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 2: If there's ever like a show that talks about sports 466 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,799 that is not gonna overreact to preseason games, it would 467 00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:36,519 be our show, and we're not gonna overreact to them 468 00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:39,240 looking bad or playing bad or certainly not losing. Like 469 00:23:39,279 --> 00:23:41,200 who cares about what the score says at the end 470 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,279 of the day in preseason, But when you make simple 471 00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:48,519 airs and you're getting beat one on one and your 472 00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:51,839 footwear looks bad and you just look like the other 473 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,880 people are better football players than you on multiple plays, 474 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,440 offensive line, like you're gonna win some, you're gonna lose them. 475 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,759 That is a defensive lineman. That's offensive line. That is 476 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,680 the life of alignment, especially in the running game, like 477 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,160 you're gonna win some, you're gonna lose some. In passing game, 478 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,640 you're gonna win. As offensive lineman, you're gonna win the majority. 479 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,960 You can win ninety nine percent of them and still 480 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,519 be a bad offensive lineman. Right, that's just the life 481 00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:22,400 that it is. But you can't get beat every time, right, 482 00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:24,880 And we're not saying they got beat every time, but 483 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:27,359 it certainly looked like it because we couldn't run the 484 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,720 ball and we're I'm talking more of the first staffs. 485 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,559 Spencer had pressure on him the entire time. So, like 486 00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:38,359 the biggest question mark has been the quarterback. Everybody's been 487 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,720 worried about it. We'll talk about that more in segments 488 00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:43,440 that come about their actual play. But I can tell 489 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,720 you from what we saw in one game, and this 490 00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:49,240 is not an overreaction, this is just stadium. What we 491 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:53,160 saw based on yesterday is that quarterback we will not 492 00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:55,640 be the issue this year. If there is an issue 493 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,079 to we had. 494 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 5: I am oof, man, I am looking at some of 495 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,559 the pro football focused grades this game. 496 00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, the guys towards the bottom. 497 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 5: I mean, Caesar at least fifty one percent, Juwan Johnson 498 00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:11,119 fifty one percent. 499 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 3: Like when you. 500 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:19,079 Speaker 5: Look at pass blocking grades, it's just, man, there's not only. 501 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:19,599 Speaker 2: One way to go. 502 00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:22,519 Speaker 3: It is only one way to go. You're starting, you're 503 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:23,440 starting right guard. 504 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 5: You're starting right guard, who's a first round pick that 505 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:28,240 you're going to be counting on graded out of thirty 506 00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:31,400 four percent past blocking grade yesterday, Like those are the 507 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,960 things that when you when you watch it, they showed 508 00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:35,799 and look like I just I wanted to see the 509 00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:38,480 grades just to make sure that my eyes were telling 510 00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:42,480 me the same story. And if the Saints are going 511 00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:44,799 to be successful offensively and we'll get to the defense 512 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,119 later on, there was actually some really good things with 513 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,039 some of the defensive unit, but the if the Saints 514 00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:55,160 are gonna have any hope to do anything, even in 515 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,839 the South, a division that has been down, the offensive 516 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:05,079 line has to be the unit that you count on 517 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,799 every single game because you've got four first round picks 518 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,480 in a second round pick. Find me another team across 519 00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:16,759 the league that in a position group, any position group 520 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,000 has four first rounders in a second rounder and the 521 00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:21,839 second rounder is actually the best of the group. 522 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,279 Speaker 3: Like, go find me that. You won't. It doesn't exist. 523 00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:30,759 Speaker 5: You have so much draft capital tied into that one position, 524 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000 that position group for what you've spent on. 525 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 2: It needs to be elite. 526 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,279 Speaker 3: They weren't good yesterday. 527 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,839 Speaker 5: They were In fact, they were bad together Like Fogg 528 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,000 actually played pretty well at right tackle. Okay, you know, 529 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,920 Banks is somebody that's you know, a rookie, and he 530 00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:53,839 held his own a little bit there. But as a unit, 531 00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:58,160 it's got to go way up if the Saints want 532 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,720 to have any kind of a season that they can 533 00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:04,359 be proud of, because yesterday's performance from a group that 534 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,319 you're counting on was so much put into it and 535 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,680 building it. If it plays like that, he'll be going 536 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,279 to Pittsburgh next year, and the commissioner is going to 537 00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:22,440 say what the first overall pick the New Orleans Saints select. 538 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,839 Speaker 2: With a unit, an offensive unit that has two wide 539 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,359 receivers that anyone in the country's ever heard of, two 540 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,480 quarterbacks that are a fifth round pick, last year's second 541 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:39,519 round pick, rookie, no veteran quarterbacks, running backs that are 542 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:45,960 established but older getting a little bit older. The group 543 00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:49,640 that we're talking about on the lead of this show 544 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,599 for fifteen minutes is about the poor play of the 545 00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:57,359 one group that has got four first rounders in a second. Yeah, 546 00:27:57,839 --> 00:28:00,000 that's not good. No, you have to have them step by. 547 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,799 They got to be the anchor of this team. They 548 00:28:01,839 --> 00:28:03,519 got a lot to approve on and like, look, the 549 00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,200 talent's clearly there. They wouldn't have had the draft stock 550 00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:10,039 that they did. They just have to figure it out. 551 00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:12,279 They got to figure out how to be pros. Yeah, man, 552 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:14,559 I'm not I'm talking about all of them, but just 553 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,480 from you got to do your job. Four people can't 554 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,960 be great and one person not yet. They got to work. 555 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,319 Speaker 5: You have to non negotiable. When you play the offensive 556 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,960 line in the National Football League, you have to all 557 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,359 be working It's what makes football the greatest sport in 558 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,359 the world. You can have ten guys doing the thing 559 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,000 that they're supposed to be doing at an elite level, 560 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,240 and one guy can be, you know, using poor technique 561 00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:46,839 or be not there mentally and not have one step here, 562 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,599 one step there. Maybe he you know, supposed to go 563 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,839 inside shoulder, he goes outside shoulder. And you know what, 564 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,960 those ten guys doing that elite thing, it does not matter. 565 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,440 The play is going to be blown up in the backfield. 566 00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:00,640 That's what makes it the ultimate team sport and the 567 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,240 greatest sport we have. It has to be eleven people 568 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:06,680 in Unison, and yesterday. 569 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 3: It was not that. It was not that in then 570 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:10,720 some and. 571 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: So guess what though, that's another game this week. 572 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,799 Speaker 5: I and and look they might so, depending on on 573 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,079 their health. Killing Moore said after the game they might 574 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,759 practice with the Rams this week because the Chargers were 575 00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:27,160 supposed to practice with the Rams, and the Chargers a 576 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,119 little banged up in camp and they decided not to. 577 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,000 The Saints actually the Rams reached out to them and said, hey, 578 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,240 would y'all since Charle out here, would y'all want to 579 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:41,119 practice with us those joint practices would benefit the Saints 580 00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:45,000 offensive line so much because that Rams defensive line has 581 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,599 got dogs, three or four of them. 582 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: If I'm killing more, you got away this all right? 583 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,279 What kind of practices do you want to have, Sean McVay, 584 00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:58,440 Because I want to go full pads four times this 585 00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:01,119 week and I would have run I have running drills, 586 00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,079 and I want my offense linemen to work. So if 587 00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:05,160 the Rams aren't don't want to do that, if I'm 588 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,960 killing more, that's what I want to do. I want 589 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,720 to go nine on seven. I want my offensive line. 590 00:30:09,759 --> 00:30:12,319 I want to kick their ass this week. Yeah right. 591 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,440 I wanted to make them get low, make them do 592 00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:16,319 the footwork stuff. 593 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,319 Speaker 3: Yeah. So if if. 594 00:30:17,359 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 2: Rams don't want to do those things, that's you got 595 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,319 to kind of way what type of practice you want 596 00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:22,599 to do? But I agree with you, if you have 597 00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,160 those types of practices with another team, it would benefit 598 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,839 them tremendously. 599 00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 5: Especially with one that has the Rams defensive line. I mean, 600 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,759 Braden Fisk, You've got Kobe Turner, Byron Young, you got yeah, 601 00:30:38,599 --> 00:30:39,599 Jared Verse. 602 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,519 Speaker 3: Is obviously on that team. 603 00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:44,839 Speaker 5: I mean you have some really good players that can 604 00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:48,759 really get after any offensive line. I mean, Jared Verse, 605 00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:50,839 what was he not defensive Rookie of the Year last 606 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,960 year on the That's what I thought, and I mean 607 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,440 Fisk and look those Florestate guys who know them well, 608 00:30:55,559 --> 00:30:57,039 but you can tell shoot the were in the backfield 609 00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:01,960 as well, really good players. I still think it's funny 610 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,880 that when you look at the Rams defensive depth chart 611 00:31:05,119 --> 00:31:07,599 you see Omar Spates starting in the NFL. 612 00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: Matthhouse. 613 00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:14,039 Speaker 5: I knew Omar was a great player. I watched him 614 00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:16,279 at Oregon State. I was so exciting when he got here. 615 00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:20,400 Everybody was calling him slow Mar Spates for his play 616 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,680 at LSU. Oh no, it was just madhouse.

I was like, all right, all right, that's 660 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,480 a big throw. That's a that's a. 661 00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: Looks really good. Yeah he look, he looked very comfortable, look, 662 00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:34,639 very poised. Read the read the defense. Well, I don't 663 00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:39,920 think he made a bad read or bad decision. The 664 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,400 I think he made one bad throw through behind a 665 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,719 gown on a slant round. Okay, whoop, big whoop. But 666 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,920 he looked very poised. 667 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,079 Speaker 3: Look. 668 00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 2: Look, and I watch a quarterback. When we kind of 669 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,280 talked about how we should evaluate quarterbacks and which you 670 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,159 look for, things like that offense looks smooth. There's a 671 00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:04,400 lot happened that first offense pre snap. There's a lot 672 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,119 happening with ships, a lot happened in motions. You have 673 00:35:07,199 --> 00:35:11,119 to have a guy that is understands that. And so 674 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,199 the operationally, like we discussed last week, operationally, I thought 675 00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:18,480 Spencer looked really good. That's getting everybody in the right position. 676 00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:22,440 You know, not a lot of pre snap penalties. There's 677 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,039 nothing that looked a mess. It looked like it looked concise. 678 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:32,480 They pretty much ran similar formation and similar motions on 679 00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:35,239 most of their plays when Spencer was in there, Like 680 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,559 they had they had they had a plan, They had 681 00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:40,119 a plan of attack, and they were gonna give them 682 00:35:40,159 --> 00:35:44,039 pretty much similar looks and run multiple different running plays 683 00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:47,880 and pass plays variations off that off those looks. But yeah, 684 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,800 I thought he looked well. I thought he looked good. 685 00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:52,119 I really did. He threw the ball well. It didn't 686 00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:54,880 seem like too big for him, He wasn't pressing, spun 687 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,519 the ball well, went through his reads. I think it 688 00:35:57,559 --> 00:35:59,360 was the first play of the game where they dropped 689 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,519 back and they ran like a two by two I 690 00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:05,800 can all go hinge type of situation and back got out, 691 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,239 went through his reads. They got too high shell. Nobody 692 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,880 was there where the side that he chose to work 693 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,000 based on the pre snap coverage, there is nobody there. 694 00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:18,000 Moved his feet, stayed poised, hit the check down. I 695 00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:22,199 think got seven eight yards. So stay on schedule. Perfect, 696 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,639 That's that's what I saw and that's the biggest takeaway 697 00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:27,519 for me. That's how you evaluate the quarterback in a 698 00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:30,519 preseason is what they do when all the goods are 699 00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:32,639 out there. It's not what they really do in the 700 00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:35,639 second half. I don't think that means as much right now. 701 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,519 You have to take care of business like Shuck had 702 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,679 to do what he did, because it's if you don't 703 00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:42,719 do that, then it's really like it's really bad, but 704 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,880 like it's just different football in the second half of 705 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,679 a preseason game than it is the first half. So 706 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:49,719 I thought he handled it well. 707 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 5: I was excited a couple of other things that I 708 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,639 think were positive for the New Orleans Saints because you know, 709 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,119 last segment and we obviously pointed out the things that 710 00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:01,840 went wrong and that that's gonna be worrisome until we 711 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,039 see them again, either in game action or these practices 712 00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:08,760 that they might have against the Rams. The past defense 713 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,400 looked great. I thought the past defense looked really good. 714 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,880 I thought the DB's played really well. Some of the 715 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,159 defensive linemen had some nice moments. I think that it's 716 00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:22,000 a unit that you're trying to get some young guys 717 00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:23,360 to be able to step up to give you some 718 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,639 real depth there because you do have some older players 719 00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:27,960 that are gonna be in your starting unit. I thought 720 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,280 Danny Stutsman looked great. I thought in coverage, Danny Stutsman 721 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,480 looked great. And look, I wasn't really sure. I like 722 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,159 he's kind of an old school neck role wearing meat 723 00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:38,800 head linebacker, which I love. But I was like, Okay, 724 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,440 well he's gonna be a run stuff or he's gonna 725 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,639 know that guy's athletic. He was great in coverage yesterday 726 00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:47,880 at the linebacker position. He's gonna help. He's gonna help 727 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,480 this year. And I'm not wishing injury on anybody, but 728 00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:54,360 the Saints have had some linebackers, mainly Pete Warner, who 729 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,719 have been in and out of the lineup, and Pete's 730 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,320 kind of like Sean Lee used to be, Like Pete 731 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,920 knows one speed in his he kind of fails him 732 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,280 because of it. But like Danny Setzman is going to 733 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,039 play some meaningful downs for the Saints. And so when 734 00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:08,320 you look at the Chargers yesterday, I mean, they've got 735 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,960 a playoff quarterback in there, and heinike like he's played 736 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,960 playoff games and went toe to toe with Tom Brady 737 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,679 and almost beat him. 738 00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 3: In the playoffs. 739 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,079 Speaker 5: Okay, so he's not the best quarterback, but he's a 740 00:38:20,119 --> 00:38:24,280 you know, air quote backup. Had started a playoff game, okay, 741 00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:28,559 and he looked bad yesterday. Now, Trey Lance, that's a 742 00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:31,760 little bit different. You know, he had some great plays 743 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,079 with his legs. His arm is the reason he's not 744 00:38:34,119 --> 00:38:37,079 a starting quarterback even after being a top three pick. 745 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,280 But still there was nowhere to throw the football, so 746 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,199 that is encouraging. Like the Saints defense actually did some 747 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,920 nice things. Yards per pass for the Chargers only four 748 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,719 point three. I mean they did a little bit on 749 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,639 the ground. Chargers had thirty four carries one hundred and 750 00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:54,639 forty eight yards for zero point four. 751 00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 3: Yards per carry. 752 00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 5: You did, you did okay ish on down, But the 753 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,840 defense was really the only place that you can look 754 00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:06,519 and pick up some real positives from like position groups, 755 00:39:06,519 --> 00:39:08,559 like the defensive backs, like as a whole, I thought 756 00:39:08,599 --> 00:39:11,119 they had a nice day. There was some spots on 757 00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:13,840 the defensive line that had nice day. Isaiah Foski still 758 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,119 doesn't give me anything. And you're hoping he's out there 759 00:39:16,119 --> 00:39:18,679 starting the game. You're hoping he'd give you something. Still 760 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,000 don't see it. But if you want me to pick 761 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,280 a positive the defensive back room, which had some question 762 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,480 marks still does they played pretty well? 763 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? The what they score? What was the score at halftime? 764 00:39:33,199 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 3: Nine three, nine to three. 765 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I I watched a little bit of the defense. 766 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,239 I know it's got some QB energy here on the 767 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,679 side of the table. I kind of kind of watched 768 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,320 a lot of the offense. But what happened when I 769 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,280 did watch nothing stuck out to me on defense, which 770 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,119 is a good thing. Yeah, Like, there wasn't any glaring gaps, 771 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,920 there were any glaring mistakes and anything like that. I saw. 772 00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:05,599 I saw a good, hard defense. And I think that 773 00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:09,960 the offense in the run game in alignment looks so 774 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,360 bad that the defense does stick out as the most 775 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,039 positive thing. So, I mean, especially with a defensive backfield 776 00:40:17,039 --> 00:40:19,519 that got a huge shake up right before training camp 777 00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:24,159 with Tyre Matthew retiring, but they played their tails off. 778 00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:27,280 So oh yeah, a lot to be positive about on that. 779 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,840 Let me ask you this, the offense and not the struggles, 780 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,719 how much stock do you put into that? It was 781 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:41,480 the Chargers second game versus Saints' first game, A little 782 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,079 bit different game speed, maybe a little bit different, maybe 783 00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:46,639 a little bit more callous, a little bit an extra 784 00:40:46,679 --> 00:40:49,480 week of camp as well. Yeah, maybe just playing a 785 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,559 little half step faster. 786 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, physicality is going to be probably right a little bit. 787 00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 2: Like I mean, in the NFL, your professionals, it shouldn't 788 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,800 make that big of a difference, but. 789 00:40:57,159 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 3: Not as much as it did. But it's probably something 790 00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:00,000 a little. 791 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,039 Speaker 2: Too that you think. So we'll juice it though, maybe 792 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,119 I hope. Yeah, let's be positive. Yeah, absolutely, I mean 793 00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:07,239 it was just guys, it was a Chargers second game. 794 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,440 Of course they're going to be better than this. 795 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,039 Speaker 5: I don't know if it matters how many games the 796 00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:13,280 opponent played when you don't take a kick step, but yeah, 797 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,880 I mean to your point, the physicality of it, maybe 798 00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:20,599 maybe so. But again, like the Saints defensive backs, that certainly, 799 00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:22,599 to me was the most positive thing if you're a 800 00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:25,440 Saints fan that you can take away from that game. 801 00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:28,639 Jalen Ford also had a good game after having some 802 00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:31,360 really good practices this week, linebacker from Texas. 803 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 3: Again, like it's a room that's you. 804 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,559 Speaker 5: Know, kind of established and you kind of know who 805 00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:39,239 the starters are going to be. But that's somebody that 806 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,960 I thought had a really good game as well. So linebackers, 807 00:41:43,039 --> 00:41:46,960 defensive backs certainly passing grades. Defensive line a little bit 808 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,679 of a mixed bag, but definitely felt better about the 809 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,159 defense than we did the offense. And remember a new 810 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,199 defense coordinator as well, so like it's only in theory 811 00:41:55,639 --> 00:41:58,280 going to get better as you have more reps together. 812 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,239 Brandon Staley, who was the try Archer's head coach, is 813 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,639 now your defensive coordinator. So kulaim Kinstry also had a 814 00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:07,679 couple of nice It wasn't a lot. It's probably about 815 00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:10,039 ten plays, but he flashed to me once or twice. 816 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,159 Speaker 2: All right, Well, golf clap for the defense. Well, golf clap. 817 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 5: All right, we'll take our last break of hour number one. 818 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,719 When we come back here, it is to be a 819 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,400 one to four to five ESPN bend. 820 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 1: Route off the bench. 821 00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:27,079 Speaker 5: Go to All Star Toyota our store either one FATS 822 00:42:27,159 --> 00:42:30,239 dot com buying, new, leasing, renting. 823 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 3: Everything is available. 824 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 5: So if you're taking a trip to go watch the 825 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,880 Tigers the Saints play, and you know, maybe you got 826 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,320 some tailgating equipment because you want to go tailgate on 827 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,679 the road and your current vehicle isn't big enough for that. 828 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,280 Because maybe maybe it's you and some friends, maybe it's 829 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,840 you in a couple of families, whatever it might be, 830 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,760 and you need to go get a Sequoia or you 831 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,960 need to get a Siana.

All right, So obviously we talked a lot 846 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,519 of saints here in our number one kind of wrap 847 00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:14,280 up this conversation. We got Taylor's top three coming up 848 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,119 at the top. We've got our OTB Top twenty five 849 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,159 as well.

So kind of 852 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:33,119 closing thoughts real quick here. For the Saints game was bad. 853 00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:37,320 There was things that should not have happened with veteran 854 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,920 players that did. But if you can find a way 855 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,480 to practice against the LA Rams this week and you 856 00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:49,320 don't do it, that's very disappointing. And I think you're 857 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,920 doing your team a disservice. And I realize health comes 858 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,880 into it, but you need it. You need it in 859 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,039 the worst way because where the Rams are good, you're bad. 860 00:44:58,519 --> 00:44:59,199 Speaker 3: And I think that. 861 00:44:59,159 --> 00:45:03,599 Speaker 5: Would help you continue to try to build to something 862 00:45:03,679 --> 00:45:08,679 that can look like an NFL offense and an NFL team. 863 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, you get better iron sharp and iron right, you 864 00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:15,119 get better by playing people that are better at the coach. 865 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,079 Yeah you like that, You like that coach Duck iron sharp, 866 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,119 iron boys. Yeah, you need to play somebody better than you. 867 00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:23,920 You need to practice against someone better than you. And 868 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:28,480 I'm not a proponent of intersquad practices. I never did it. 869 00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,079 I always dreaded it, I never wanted to do it, 870 00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:35,639 and I never did it. I just bounced around too much, 871 00:45:35,679 --> 00:45:36,159 you know what I mean? 872 00:45:36,639 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 3: Uh, But I think our listeners do. 873 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is uh. I think it might 874 00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:42,000 be the time to do it.
