Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Say Hester and Hester got it from.
Speaker 1: Carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each other
on the air.
Speaker 2: Let's stop control the.
Speaker 1: Live from the Raisin Kine Studio. It's Off the Bench.
Speaker 3: Welcome back in our number three of ot B. Here
live from the Raising Kaine Studio. Always our pleasure to
have our guy Nick Underhill, New Orleans Dot Football join
us in this time he's on video after a big
Saints win. Look at that smile there. Look at our
guy Nick Underhill. Nicholas, what's up, sir? How are we doing?
Speaker 2: I can't see you, guys, but I think I prefer it.
I think I prefer.
Speaker 4: This waits till shut goes off to get him. What
a front runner you are, Nick, I'm vida there after
a big shock performance.
Speaker 2: Hey man, I'm just answer the call. But no, you
look good. I mean, that was that was probably the
most encouraging. I think the teams looked all year. Man.
There's a lot of a lot of really good stuff
in that. And yeah, I mean I think I think
he just showed why they drafted them fortieth and why
they decided to take a look at him. But yeah,
I mean, I think incredibly encouraging performance. I'm actually like
disappointed there on a buy this week because, uh, this
is the first time, like the whole season that it's
kind of really about exciting to watch his team. I'm
excited to see where they go from here and see,
uh see how he builds on it. I think it
like injected some needed life into uh, you know, kind
of a season that was starting to spiral very very
negatively over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great performance and he did a
lot of great individual things.
Speaker 4: We were talking about that yesterday.
Speaker 3: But also like some guys that have really been struggling
up front, certainly Caesaruiz, I thought he had his best
game as well, and so you had a little bit
better protection. But also like Tyler Shuck is some of
those extended plays where he found a window and then
like just bolt a little bit of time where the
defense got a little lax and coverage and he was
able to find a couple of guys down the field
as well. I thought, really for Shuck, but also for
some of the protection stuff that they've had, this was
one of their better if not their best day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had some like win because moments and on
those big third downs. I think that's really where you
saw it. There was the the third and twelve. I
think there was like a third and eight. He was
short on the third and seventeen. Throw to Ale with
that throw through that tight window, I mean the very
first one. He breaks out of what looked like a sack,
buy some time, keeps his eyes down the field, finds
Juwan wide open up the sideline like that's a big
time play and look, I mean, I think those are
kind of the moments that you got to have. Either
one of these guys. They need to have those moments
so that they aren't drafting a quarterback top five, Like
that's the stuff that you got to see. I don't
think that you're you're relying on either one of these
guys to win you games, but you need to have
moments with any game that you can look back on
and say like, Okay, he contributed to it to stop
them from going another direction, and yeah, like it's one
game and he's gonna need to do it a bunch
of other times. The NFL is littered with guys that
have done it one time, two times, and that didn't
keep it going. But you got to start somewhere, and
I thought it was a pretty good start for him
in this one. And you know, I think he threw
with good anticipation. The throat to taste was behind him.
That that's one that we've been hammering on both the
quarterbacks all season long about that little bit of technical accuracy.
But I thought he gave his guys a chance. I
thought he showed off the arm. The athleticism is good,
and really like he surprised me big time with how
confident he looked in the pocket. That was the thing
coming into the league, that was the thing in training camp,
and just I think it's just very obvious. I like
working with Scott Tolzen every day on the footwork and
just that pocket presence. I think it paid off. And
that's probably the reason that we didn't see him for
the first nine games of the season. There were some
of the stuff they wanted to work on, make sure
he had his best shot when he got in there.
Did good one game and you know, we'll see where
it goes from here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So watching the game, you see an offense there
that you know it's been you know, struggles shown some
moments throughout the season, but certainly struggling. Every part of
the team has been struggling really throughout the season. Obviously
record indicates that. But you saw guys this Sunday making
some plays. You saw guys that have done some things
that they hadn't done. I mean, Jake just brought up
Caesar or he's playing his best. I mean, who would
have thought that would have come? You got Juwan Johnson
ninety two yards receiver. You had Kamara with one hundred
and fifteen total yards from scrimmage something like that. Chris
Olave goes over one hundred yards receiving. So you see
guys that have been struggling to be at least consistent
throughout the season step up and make plays. You saw
an offense play with energy? Is that? Do you think
that they can mimic this? Do you think it's something
I know it's something to build on, certainly, but based
on the history of the season, do you think that
they can start stacking these Uh, stack in these moments.
But I'm not even gonna say wins, because wins are
obviously hard, but just stacking these performances individual performances on
top of each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that that's gonna be a huge thing.
I mean, obviously we saw guys play way better. I
think I think the old line can be better. I
think Caesars actually played decent like the last few weeks,
but like Raven's didn't have a great game in this
this this game, I think he can play better. I
think getting funk out there in place of his seam Richards,
he can play better there. Like they were down three
to zero line from what they were the whole other
half of the season, So I think they have more
talent there that that can play a little bit better.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Chris, the consistency I think is obviously something that that
was just kind of weird this year. Like I don't
think drops have been something that that have defined in him.
So it's kind of like, was that the blip or
is this kind of the real guy? You know? Obviously
the the one handed catch is exceptional, like, but he's
been a pretty consistent pass catcher throughout his career. Like
the drops for any thing, Juan's like so up and down.
I don't know what to expect from him now. The
run game is interesting to me. Because we saw them
go nineteen times under center on runs in this game.
They did that same exact number against the Bills, and
those are the two best rushing performances of the season.
So if we don't see that going forward, I'm going
to be incredibly confused if they go back to just
trying to run inside zone out of shotgun average two
point nine yards per carry, and it's just like you're
doing it over and over and over, like that makes
no sense to me. And honestly, like, I think they
can do a way better job of building up to
those looks. They only threw three times from under center.
I think you got to start incorporating more play action
off it gets some shots down the field and just
kind of become a more diversified look on offense. So
I think that is something that they can replicate. It's
just a it's a choice, Like it is crazy to
say it, but like it really does just feel like
a choice of like do you want to do this
thing you're good at or are you just going to
keep trying to hammer what you want to be your
identity that isn't working for you. So I think they
got to be a little bit more flexible in that
and I think I think they will be. There's no
way you can look at that and go away from it.
Speaker 3: Again, Nick, so often we talk about the offensive woes
for the Saints, and because you know the defense has
certainly had moments, But I want to ask you about
a young defensive player because there's so many veteran defensive
player like Tomio Davis had another incredible game, but we
all know you know where he's at in his career.
Speaker 4: Where are you at right now with kool Aid? Because
he's a player that you traded for.
Speaker 3: He's a player we didn't talk about at all really
last year and this year, like him now being a
guy being a starter, there's upstairs downs. But like from
what you've seen, is he the guy that you thought
he was? And do you think that he is continuing
to develop to be that guy?
Speaker 2: I think you said it with with like the ops
and the downs with with with Koley, Like I think
there's some games where I mean, there's been a few
where I've come out of him been like man, he
was like the best guy on the on the field
at least on defense, and then other games is just
kind of you know, not good and then there's there's
like the middle. So the inconsistency really, like the inconsistency
with the whole secondary is kind of something that that
bothers me overall. And I might just be like an
old guy at this point, but man, I like press coverage,
Like I like seeing guys like if you're losing, you're
just you're losing because you're losing, and it's not like, oh, well,
you're playing you know, a nine yard cushion second and
six and they're getting the first down, but you're tackling
quick and not giving up the explosive. Like it's just
hard to gauge it sometimes, like you look at the
yardage numbers and then you look at the film and
like sometimes they don't necessarily correlate to exactly what it
feels like you're watching because I think sometimes the coverage
is so soft, So I don't know, like I feel
very unsure about all those guys in this. I feel
the same way about Quincy Riley, Like it's just kind
of sometimes I feel like he's playing great, and then
other times it's like it feels like there's a lot
of yardage and it's just kind of hard to correlate
it sometimes I'm extremely unsure about all of them. But
I'll say this, like if the draft for today, like
I would have cornerback on that list of like top
three needs or at least three areas of improvement, And honestly,
I don't know how much of a difference it would
make with the scheme and the way they're playing. But I'm, yeah,
I'm extremely unsure about him right now. I mean, he's
one of those guys who coming into the season that
it felt like he was kind of like a player
that could like tilt the scale on how you felt
about like the entirety of the roster, like four or
five of those guys. I think we're in that group,
and I think he's still kind of teetering on it
a little bit. I think he's doing fine, but I
don't know that there's like the consistent high impact week
to week that that maybe you're looking for out of
like your top cornerback.
Speaker 4: Yeah. True, Nick, If you're trying to put together a
top three list of needs for the Saints, good luck,
But it's like trying to pick up guess who the
coach railsu is going to be right now? That's a
tough list. To put together, but a lot of being said.
I mean there's a lot of talk Mickey Loomis, like,
you know, even if we got the number one pick
or whatever, like do we trust to do we trusted
to make the right moves? Blah blah blah. So we
know that there's been some like draft woes and there's
been contracts that we don't agree with and all this stuff.
But like, let's take a like let's have a little
recency bias here. Let's look at the twenty twenty five draft.
How do you grade that draft class to this point
in the season.
Speaker 2: I think pretty good. But look, here's the thing. We're
doing this like two days after Shock had a good
performance and then I like jilts it major.
Speaker 4: League next week for a second, at least.
Speaker 2: If it went up and smoked like it would feel different.
But look, I think it's promising. Like for the for
the most part, I think I think there's a lot
of guys that you feel like are at least contributors
or at least useful players, and that's really what they need,
like even if they aren't all high end players, Like
I feel like like Quincy Riley is a good example,
Like he might not be your quarterback too long term.
But if he is even better, but even if he's
just like a rotational player, you're you're pulling him out
of the fourth round. Like that's all you're really kind
of looking for in that that range is to kind
of build out your depth and get like a nice
middle class to the roster together. And look last year,
like all the injuries, like they didn't have those kind
of guys like and then players get hurt and you're
kind of all the way like down at the bottom
of the barrel and season falls apart with just like
one injury, and you know, they got to build out
that depth, they got to get better better. And I
think this draft definitely it feels like that there's good quantity,
like the quality I think is still being defined overall,
but like Schuck is a guy that that even if
he doesn't end up being a starter, he's probably a
backup quality quarterback, which you know that that's that's at
least a cost effective hit, even if you don't get
the high end out of it. If he is a
high end player and you got him in Banks and
you know, Scotsman looks like he's a guy Sanker definitely
looks like he's a guy that you can play like
that that would be a really good draft, and I
think it would be, you know, potentially the end of
the seven year skit of of draft and we'll say six,
like nineteen was probably good draft. Uh with with with
CJGJ and and McCoy good sense then, like it's kind
of been tough, and you know, the last couple it
feels like things are starting to turn back a little bit.
There's some hits in the first round, which wildly was
a major issue for them, But yeah, definitely I think
there's some positivity with with that for sure. It feels
like they got really, really good quantity out of this draft.
Speaker 3: Nick, I know we still have a lot of season
obviously left, but with where the Saint season is, I
know there's a lot of offseason talk. What do you
think the first couple of moves will be in the
offseason as far as you know, some of the veteran
players that we've talked about over the last couple of weeks,
and would they get traded, Like where do you think
this team will go before we get to the draft,
like veteran players and maybe what would they be looking
to try to do in free agency.
Speaker 2: A lot of big decisions coming up. I mean at
the top of the list I think at this point
is Alante Taylor. You know, they just got some trade
options for him and it didn't really quite come together.
Indianapolis was one that that sounded like it was a possibility,
and then they made the trade for Sauce. I think
they still want to keep him. This was his most
dynamic game too. It felt like there was like just
like a really good vision for him. They were attacking
the quarterback more than they have another games, and that's
the spot where he's really good as a blitzer, you know.
So I think I think he's a guy that they
would like to try to keep. Got to you know,
build out that that that depth just kind of kind
of everywhere, and you don't want to be like a
big free agency shopper, but look like it's It's so
fascinating to me because like, if Shuck's actually good, I
think it changes like your whole your whole path. I
think like the urgency to keep prisal love increases if
you have a real quarterback, and I think a loves
want to stay here would probably change too, along with it.
You know, if he looks at this as a spot
where where he can get you know, numbers, production and
all that stuff, I think he's more likely to to
sign an extension here, you know, maybe maybe even before
playing out that fifth year option.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think they need tight end. I think
you need another guard, you know, finding another another impactful guy,
uh in the front four on the defensive line, I
think is something they should try to do in free
agency and then, uh, you know what, whatever the rest
of the season is. Like, I hope all roads lead
the RBL. Reice Like he just feels like the guy
in this draft that like every time I watch him,
he's like the most obvious one.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Like I've been going out, like watching these guys on
on Saturdays. I've seen Oregon, Ohio State, Miami, Louisville, UH,
South Carolina, Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, going up to Clemson,
UH to watch them this week in Louisville. Like, and
he's the one guy that I've seen where it was
like this is this is a guy that like you
have to have, Like he's he was the most obvious one.
I don't feel that way about any of the quarterbacks
you know some of that some of the receivers that
are out there. Tait obviously like in a top five,
top ten pick, like no, but like our Belle Reees
feels like a guy that like I don't know if
you guys remember Jamie Collins, but like he feels like
Jamie Collins and an arrow football where people know how
to use Jamie Collins and like that that can be
a special player.
Speaker 4: I think it's amazing, like what winning does to attitude,
to outlook, to future predictions, things like that. You know,
it's been so many weeks where like, oh, we got
to sell this team and like we gotta we gotta move,
like we gotta build for but now we're talking about like,
look we've got a quarter about wait a minute, what
a minute is a lot they're going to re sign?
Do we build around that?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 4: Like what pieces can we keep in place right now?
Like the outlook is so positive. That's why sports are
so awesome because like winning just changes everything, It fixes
all problems. Can you keep that up? I don't know,
We'll see, but like when I was watching the game,
of course, all Saints fans want Chuck to be good,
and they want good They just want good stability and
they want a quarterback blah blah blah. But like I
also feel like on the Twitter, people were like, do
we really want to win this game? Like do Saints
fans like to take the temperature put your finger on
the pulse of like the Saints fan base as best
you can do. They want them to keep winning games.
Speaker 2: Like here's the thing that I think is probably the
best outcome would be like the Patriots Drake May season
where you feel great about the quarterback and they're they're
losing games and you get to the end of it
and you got four wins and you got the high
draft pick and you can go get you know, the
guy that helps your quarterback the most early on Well Campbell, Like,
I think that's the best I'll come. But here's the thing,
Like you go down the stretch and you get to
the end of the season and the Saint Scott five
six wins and they're picking seven, eight, nine, ten, Yeah, Like,
sure that sucks. You aren't getting Rarvel Reaes Like that's
not going to happen, But that means that your quarterback
is probably actually really good and the biggest piece of
the puzzle is solved. And like, yes, it would suck,
but like, wouldn't you rather have like the guy at quarterback?
And I think that's just probably how you got to
look at it, Like if that becomes the reality of
the situation, like who cares, like you hit you hit
it forty. You drafted a guy that was probably a
top ten pick thirty spots later then he should have went.
And that's the real win here. And I think you
take it and you're happy about it, and you build
it and you're just grateful that you probably have a
ten year answer at that position, if that's the actual
reality of the situation. But yeah, I mean I think
I think the best thing here would be like, yes,
the Saints score twenty four, twenty seven points whatever every
week and they find a way to lose, and your
offense is good. But like the difference too, like with
the Patriot, is that if you're actually winning some games,
that means that you probably have the right coaches in
the building too, and you aren't starting all the way
over there. It isn't it isn't. You're getting rid of
the guy and you know, hey, look, Mike Rabel's waiting
there to come over like that that's a great outcome
for them, but like, who knows if you can replicate
that here. So if you have the answer to the quarterback,
and you have the answer to the coach, and at
the end of the season you feel great about all
those things and you're picking eighth, you know, so be it?
All right?

Speaker 2: I help this special delivery for the bench and look
it is marked most urgent. We'll be writing to you
the internet. What the is the internet?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: This comes from our guy Bilbo. I need six court
side tickets to a Pelicans game? How do I do
this and not be poor?
Speaker 8: Are they like twenty five?
Speaker 4: I think you're pretty good.
Speaker 9: Wait two months when the Pelicans have a really bad record,
and there'll be a lot cheaper.
Speaker 4: The records are already pretty bad. One one right too.
Speaker 3: Two loss of spurs over the weekend, Lucky beat, I know,
let's see you over there, lucky beet.
Speaker 8: They have an actual alien at center.
Speaker 4: But yeah, they do that. They do.
Speaker 3: Hashtag oh to be mailbox, mailbox, mail bag When will
alec box get chairbacks.
Speaker 10: That's what they should have done instead of I guess
the bleacher. Yeah, and the bleachers we already have they
do in some spots, but the bleacher. I'm not a
fan of the bleachers, but they should have done that
instead of the whatever they call that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that area, yeah whatever that.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I just wish college stadiums like in general, like
all right, so if you if you're like I think
we put too many seats in here, make like an
NFL stadium, put cheerbacks everywhere.
Speaker 8: I actually wish they would.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tiger stations should be cheerbacks everywhere. Bleachers.
Speaker 8: I love a burm.
Speaker 4: Yeah that too.
Speaker 10: Like if they took the left field bleachers out, yeah
and put a burm back.
Speaker 4: There, I would love that, yeah, which I think a
lot of people would.
Speaker 9: I would kill for bleachers in the Tiger stadium because
if you're not sitting between the town, you don't even
have about you don't even have about back.
Speaker 4: Now, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, just make it like
an NFL stadium where every seats a chairback. Yes, yeah,
you know.
Speaker 3: Now you'll reduce capacity, but you're kind of trying to
do that. Now anyway in a lot of places. So oh,
I hate when it jumps. When you've got a good question,
you got to go all the way back to that one.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm not giving you a lot on these answers
right now. Finishing up the final touches on the eulogy.
That's that's more important, obviously, answer questions.
Speaker 3: Seatbacks, hashtag, go to your mail bag, shut up, love Mary, kill, chili,
soup or gumbo?
Speaker 8: Are they all soup?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna love gumbo soup.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna love gumbo, I'm gonna marry chili, and I'm
gonna kill soup.
Speaker 8: Well, they're all soup, I mean, you know, depends what
soup it is, right.
Speaker 4: An Yeah, well that's great. Like what I'm never gonna
say no to gumbo.
Speaker 11: I'm never gonna never gonna say no to chili.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm marrying gumbo. I love chili. Actually, which one means.
Speaker 8: Totia chicken soup?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 11: Like what soup or chick? Unfortunately? Up to kill?
Speaker 4: What about what about gumbo?
Speaker 3: I'm getting this gumbo soup. Gumbo's gumbo. Hey, don't bring
your tyler texts taken here?
Speaker 4: Is gumbo not a soup.
Speaker 3: It's gumbo, just likes soup is not root?
Speaker 11: Soup is soup? Gumbo about a bisc about a cross like?
Speaker 4: Is that a soup or is it a a bisk?
Bisk is a bisk? It's gumbo one chili two? And
then any variation of portions of food particles of food
in a liquid.
Speaker 8: It says I googled it. Gumbo is considered both a
soup and a stew.
Speaker 4: Okay, a stew, yeah so, but it is also what
about a disk? I think any portions of soup particles
of cooked food in a liquid, it's a soup.
Speaker 11: Right, I'm with you.
Speaker 4: I don't know the difference way is soup and a stew,
but I know that gumbo is. Hey, big brain guy,
I'll tell you what. You're overthinking this.
Speaker 11: You want Matt to focus on O TV mail bag?
Just ask what is a soup?
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure there are all suits.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people are gonna I'm sure chili is a soup.
Speaker 11: Chili?
Speaker 4: No, there's no.
Speaker 1: More.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's like, okay, I do thick chili. So like
it's liquid to be a soup, it's got to be
like the liquid portion has got to be more than fifty.
It's gotta be like fifty percent or more like chili.
Speaker 10: It's mostly right, Okay, Chili is not soup, but gumbo
is definitely suit gumbo soup.
Speaker 4: I think. I think Gumbo's gumbo, but I do love.
Speaker 10: What is it like the one at Olive Garden that
has the kale and the Italian sausage.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's the Italian Ministruan it is.
Speaker 4: That's what I get. The main difference between the soup
and stew are there consistency and ratio of solids to liquid.
Soup typically has higher liquid to solid ratio. All stew
is thicker and chunkier. So let's say some certain stews
or a certain chilies would be a stew if you
do more with like the chunks.
Speaker 9: What about like there's like a potato soup that could
be a thick boy.
Speaker 4: That could be a thick boy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that one.
Speaker 11: That one.

Speaker 4: All right, I.
Speaker 3: I think we've got to do something difficult that we've
had to do every week last six weeks.
Speaker 4: This is not something we like to do, but we
have to. We have an obligation, obligation to the world.
Things happen, many do things. This is the world we
live in. Things are out of our control. All we
can do is acknowledge them. Acknowledge these people that we
lose and try to move forward. Today, we are gathered
here to reflect on the life and times of Brian
Dable as the head coach, a tenure that began with hope, innovation,
and a long awaited playoff win, but it ended with
the familiar sound of Giant fans sign into their bagel
and shmear, and also leaving them wondering are we just
the Jets and Blue. When Brian dave Ball first arrived
him from Buffalo, he was heralded as the offensive savior,
the man who could finally turn Daniel Jones into more
than just a trivia answer about a fifth year option.
And for one shining season he did that. The Giants
looked competent, creative, even dangerous. Dave All brought swagger to
the Meadowlands, and his partnership with Mike Kafka seemed to
breathe new life into a franchise desperate for relevance once again.
That first year playoff win in Minnesota, it really did.
It felt like the start of something real. Did Giants
fans dared to believe again, they wanted it, But as
quickly as that hope appeared, it disappeared like a hip
rule violation on the sideline of medical tent. The injuries
piled up, the execution vanished, and the magic from twenty
twenty two faded faster than a wide out separation on
third and long. Dave Ball's trademark fire, once a symbol
of accountability, began to look like frustration. The headset tosses
got louder, and the cries got sadder. And yet we
must remember him, not only for how it ended, for
how it began. And we sit here today and our
hearts do go out to the grieving players. We don't
know how they're feeling today. A lot of excitement, the
exciting whites, the young guys. We know that Scataboo is
probably banging his head against the wall somewhere today. Is
he reminded us all that this proud franchise what belief
looked like. He restored dignity to a locker room that
had forgotten how to win. He gave the Giants fans
something they hadn't felt in years, which was joy on
a Sunday. So we say farewell to Brian Daball, the beard,
the bravado, the bold play caller who made the g
Men matter again, if only for a little moment. Maya's
next headset never cut out, Maya's tablets always have really
strong cases on them, Maya's quarterbacks always stay upright. And
to misquote the great philosopher Bill Shakespeare, misquote, I said
heavy is the head that wears the crown. Well, in
this case, heavy is the head that wears the headset.
And although your head definitely looked like stable enough to
hold the heaviest of headsets, in the end, the pressure
of the big Apple was just too much to pay.
So rest easy, Brian Daball gone.
Speaker 5: Too soon, some comes, We'll be back more O TV.
Speaker 1: Off the bench, from the locker room to the airwaves.
Speaker 8: Gets off the bench with Jacob.
Speaker 4: M emotion. God, he does have a dome, he does?
Whoa all right?

drinking hand somewhere, enjoying an ice cold dose sekis or

dad's like I was like six or seven, and it
attacked me, and my dad's friend hit it in the
head with the putter knocked it out. They said, it
knocked it out, killed it. The swan that like a
golf course swan that they probably purchased to like live there,
chased me.
Speaker 3: Man playing golf at six can't have money, boy, you
know what a golf course was at six or sixteen?
