Speaker 1: All start to it. You want to presents? Off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob Aber.
Speaker 2: I gotta come off the bench.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yo. What is going on Louisiana? Oh my god? Kind
of feel like we're somewhat kicking this entire event off
as I'm T Bob Aber, he is Jake Kester. We
got Cade, Rivers and bow Wall here on site producing.
I think Calandre Taylor Beckter definitely tailored either way. Guys,
welcome in. We are live at Super Bowl fifty nine
on Radio Row in the New Orleans Convention Center and
it is absolutely fan fantastic in here. Jake, what's up, brother,
how we feeling today? Feeling great?
Speaker 3: I think we are maybe actually the only people that
are live right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, early bird gets the worm. It's Monday.
Speaker 3: I guess everybody's waiting until Tuesday. But that's okay. It
will fill up here probably as we go along. But
very excited to be back in another convention center with you, sir.
Speaker 2: And uh, look at us, do we're matching a complete accident?
Look dark jeans, brown shirts. The boys bring it for
the Super Bowl here. I literally bought this outfit yesterday,
not thinking I no idea. I walked in me sure
up in the exact same spot. Very very funny look brown. Yeah,
I know that's what I'm saying. Very random combination. I'm like, okay, yeah,
like this is gonna be cool. Maybe a little uniqueal different, Nope, nope, nope.
But then look it is. H It's fantastic in here, guys,
it's massive. All your favorites are here. Uh. Pat McFee said,
is insane. That's our behind his ESPN raiders directly behind us.
They're randomly threads booth. I don't know, you know, they
throw a lot of money into something like that happens.
See Jake has a stage unto himself. A serious XM
basically has an entire end zone of the hall built
out for them. You got my favorite Lebattarden company over there.
It looks like in the DraftKings setup. There's a random,
massive bounty the quicker Picker upper paper towel booth, which
says all you can eat wings at eleven. So, uh,
maybe before you get out of here this morning may
have to go by the bounty booth. It's uh, it's
it's really cool.
Speaker 3: They got interactive games, at least last year they did
in Vegas, the bounty folks. So you're like throwing the
paper towels into circles almost like it's footballs and you
went a it's toilet paper, not unlike Little Johns. Yes,
something like that. So, uh no, it looks great in here.
Obviously you got like lambeau Fiel where the Draft's gonna
be this year. They have like a little miniature entrance
to lambeau Field, Pittsburgh where the Draft's gonna be the
year after that. So everybody set up, but we're the
only ones working.
Speaker 2: True. Man, it is insane to think that we went
from the Mobile Convention Center now to the New Orleans
Convention Center, from the Senior Bowl to the Super Bowl.
It's been a hell of a couple of weeks here
and there's a lot to get today. So I think
here's what we do today, guys. We are going to
start this hour and I don't know how much of
the hour we're going to spend here, but we'll see.
We are going to start this hour laying out Super
Bowl fifty nine. It's the reason for the season. It's
the reason why there's multiple half a billion dollar yachts
currently moored right outside of the city. It's the reason
why New Orleans all of a sudden, is very clean
right now, and there's miurals everywhere and advertising and everything's
very flashy and exciting and cool because for this week,
quite frankly, the richest people in the world will descend
upon this city and the game is gonna be massive,
and it's a massive game featuring which you know, we'd
argue that the two best teams of the past three
years in the NFL. So, Jake, is there anything? Sorry,
I'm very excited. I'm just spewing. We're out here. How
are we feeling this morning?
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great today, you know, just like the rest
of the week is gonna be three shows.
Speaker 2: This is the first leg. Yep. So we'll do this.
Speaker 3: I'll go host super Bowl Drive over there and then
get a two hour break and host Off Campus.
Speaker 2: So Off Campus is on a series six eighty four,
eighty three, eighty four, eighty four. So where what about
super Bowl Drive one? Six? Okay? Cool? Yeah, So it's
super Bowl Channel.
Speaker 3: They only have it for this week, So they create
a special channel for the week and they'll have you know,
kinchick lea maar songs and like stuff from our hit station,
and they'll have pop culture stuff and but we'll be
the only live show on it.
Speaker 2: And you're gonna join me later. I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having it to wax poetic about Louisiana, and
I felt like nobody.
Speaker 2: Could do that better than you. Yeah, so it's gonna
be Look, it gonna be a it's gonna be a
ton of fun again, Jake. Super Bowl Show one of
six is gonna be nine to twelve and then off camp.
It's always two to five in the afternoon. All right,
let's get into some of the main stories here for
super Bowl fifty nine. First off, like we said the
reason for the season, we are in New Orleans and
it is the eleventh time that the Super Bowl's been
New Orleans. Thinking about that, guys, there are fifty nine
of these things and eleven times it's been here. Pretty
damn good. I'm not a mathematician, but fifteen to twenty
percent somewhere in that range. And it's funny. I was
stand up my old man's last night, Jake and we
were kind of talking and he's talking about how much
things have changed since back in the day. And he's
showing me a pennant from Super Bowl six with the
Miami Dolphins down here in New Orleans, and he's talking
about after the game how he like snuck in the
locker room and like manage to see himunch of towels
or something or like team gear, and it's like that
would never I mean, look at all this so it
never happened now days, but it shows you just the
history that's here. I didn't realize this New Orleans is
where we witness Tom Brady upset the greatest show on turf,
Young Tom. We had no idea this, this young, cool
headed individual, his first ever Super Bowl, no idea that
he would go on to literally be with a bullet,
the greatest NFL football player of all time. So they
used to play it in obviously two lanes. Yeah, dude,
that's where the that's where the okay, the oldslving pen
is two Lane Stadium nineteen seventy two. Uh freaking sick dude.
He has he had a bunch of area. He's like
a bunch of like fifty to six year old pen
it's their amazing But uh so that was one of him.
We had the Hardball Bowl here of course, the night
when the lights went out. Oh yeah, yeah, the lights
went out. Yeah no, no, no, I'm not talking about that.
Oh yeah, because we should have been there. Yeah, that
should have been you, and you should have beaten the
team that ended up yeah.
Speaker 3: Winning, won a championship in the same building in high school,
college and pros.
Speaker 2: But at least you have Jim Harbaugh, now you know sure,
I mean, and he was coaching at Super Bowl. Then
maybe he'll get their chargers.
Speaker 3: Your bolt was a good game though, remember I mean
a great game, good game, Kaepernick and the Niners charging
back in the second half, Ravens holding on.
Speaker 2: Like I said, lights going out, But again I think
they most insane. I mean, two brothers, two brothers coaching
again each other show. It's still unfathomable.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I remember coming here in nineteen ninety six, my old
man going to the game, Amember, going up to Mandible,
staying at a friend's house watching Desmond Howard returned to
kick for ninety nine yards in Toty Freeman's eighty one
yard touchdown Packers super Bowl, so again eleven time that
the super Bowl has been in New Orleans, and a
halftime showed that all like, although headlined by Kendrick I
have to imagine is going to feature heavily with some
New Orleans background. I hope, so, I certainly hope. So.
Speaker 3: I hope we get surprised by somebody. John Baptiste would
be somebody you and I would forget.
Speaker 2: Like he has to it. They'd be insane not to.
Speaker 3: I know, there's like there's a ton of rappers that
we want to see there, and I hope that like
a handful of those, But I mean you can't miss
that one, right, No, no.
Speaker 2: No, I mean I like again, they they're they're the
the the the avenues are many. So there's always gonna
be some fandoms that are disappointed. But I can't wait
to see that is true. It is every super Bowl
halftime show.
Speaker 3: A lot of these people are, you know, either associated
with somebody because they had one song together, or you know,
somebody really majors from that Syria, you know city and
from that area and you're.
Speaker 2: Just like, please let that person go.
Speaker 3: Like when it was in Atlanta and Outcast didn't have
both members.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was such a disappointment. No Audrey to thousand.
I'm just like only hurt. It took me to the
fourth quarter, especially because since it's a Super Bowl and
you see big Boy come out, you imagine that the
the ace up the sleeve is gonna be outre So
you're right, you gotta be careful about how you like
how many cash money members will will you see? Well,
they managed to get everyone there, I think, so they
need to be I would hope, so, I would absolutely hope.
Speaker 3: So no limit cash money, like somewhere in the middle,
like three from each something.
Speaker 2: Uh, then again, something that can't be ignored, Jake, we
are talking about a Super Bowl rematch, and outside of
the Eagles odd implosion at the end of last year,
it is pretty inarguable that these have been the best
two teams over the last three years. And what I
had forgotten is how good the first matchup was. Oh yeah,
I kind of forgot how incredible that first uh Super
Bowl between these two teams was Jalen Hurts goes for
three h four through the air, one touchdown, red touchdowns
on the ground, along with seventy more yards. Remember they
had that twenty one to twenty seven lead. Then Mahomes
goes a back to back touchdown drives. They take an
a point lead, but it hurts comes up with the
clutch touchdown of the clutch to Bok version ties it
at thirty five, only four Patrick Mahomes to lead a
game winning field goal drive, which brings up the craziest
stat that I've seen from these playoffs. And I think
it might have actually gotten added to well, let me
think of the game played out. No, maybe not, but
the craziest stat one of the craze I've ever heard of.
This comes from Trey Wingo. It's a clip that went
a bit viral Jake. Since two thousand and one, there's
been I think like one hundred and fifty one hundred
and twenty opportunities where the offense has had the ball
minute or less. Yeah, and you're the opportunity to either
tie it or take the lead. It's a very clutch situation.
Right In those situations, the offense ties and it takes
the lead about fourty percent of the time, so the
defense wins the majority. Tom Brady was these playoff games.
For the record, Tom Brady was five of eleven in
those situations for the playoffs, very good. Yeah, Drew Rees
was three of six, very good. Patrick Mahomes is seven
of seven. One hundred percent of the time he is,
I mean, that is beyond an outlier. He was the
only person it's inevitable. He's the only person that's I mean,
Tom freaking Brady five of eleven in those situations, Mahomes
seven of seven. So if you're talking about who's gonna
win this game, that's a very hard stat to escape
except Jake. Last game, there was no Saquon Barkley, right.
I think Miles Sanders ran for less than twenty yards
in the last game. So yeah, my notes have Kenneth Gainwell,
Boston Scott, and Miles Sanders combining for forty five yards
on seventeen carries.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not gonna happen year in this game. I mean,
Saquon is the difference maker.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I know Jalen ran for that was seventy plus yards
in the last contest, and that's good and fine, But
Saquon Barkley just changes the math on everything. And so
we had a close game. The Chiefs were able to
stop the run. Credit to Jalen Hurts for doing what
he did through the air and on the ground. But
now he's got his potting it with him.
Speaker 2: Well, and let's look at what Saquon's done these playoffs
so far. Guys against Packers Round one win, twenty five
carries one hundred and twenty yards five yards of carried.
Against the Rams twenty six carries two hundred and five
yards two tons, eight yards a carry, and then against
Washington a cool fifteen for one to eighteen three more
touchdowns eight yards a carry. Jake on the year, Saquon's
almost dead twenty five hundred yards. He's over twenty four
hundred by the end of this Super Bowl. You will
probably be talking about a man who is rushed for
two thousand and five hundred yards in one year. Yeah,
it's a lot of guy's careers. Justly about said like,
that's a pretty decent career. It's certainly a decent, like
three year run.
Speaker 3: What he's doing right now, it's just it is incredible,
and they've got a great offensive line. But he's creating
on his own as well, and it takes a lot
of pressure off Jalen Hurts. He doesn't have to do
as much now, he doesn't have now he's got receivers,
he's got Brown, he's got Smith, He's I mean, he's
got it tied. He's got everything. But he doesn't have
to every single time now make the play where and
the last time these two teams played in the Super Bowl,
he probably felt like he did. I mean, he was
kind of Superman in that game. And so it it
changes the dynamic of everybody. Like even just the threat
of Saquan and what he can do, you have to
pay so much attention to it that you can't, you know,
bracket aj Brown, you can't do certain things with Jalen
Hurts as far as the spy, Like you have to
play defense different now against his team because they've got
the biggest game changer at running back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it's and and now look, I mean
so of us consider uh this chief defense to be
the reason why they've won all year long. Uh. Steve Spagnola,
I feel like, especially in these playoffs thus far, has
really shined in the biggest moments. And Chris Jones is
the Hall of Fame counterpart to Patrick Mahomes that makes
the chiefs of dynasty. And so now we get to
watch Spagnola and Chris Jones against Saquon AJ Brown, DeVante
Smith and Jalen Hurts like, hell, yes, dude, that is
a I mean that that's just that's that's football gold
if you want to watch great football. So okay, these
are just a few of the storylines. We are live

to spell baton rouge and you're altered to Jersey Brad. Hey,
you bum before you come at us. Okay, it ain't
baton rogue let's get back. Let's let's get back to
preview in the Super Bowl tem me, the biggest storylines
going in. We left off with how incredible this rematch
is going to be, how good the first game was,
and uh from the Eagles per perspective. Here, Jake, it's
very interesting to think about what's on the line legacy
wise for like a Jalen Hurts and a Nick Sirianni h.
I mean with Hurts specifically, here's here's the guy who
has won championships certainly, but has never had because I
think about the one that he wins in college is
because of Tua and then did they end up losing
the one in which he came in the SEC championship
and one or maybe even one but he wasn't the
starting quarterback for the championship. The point is, I don't
think he's ever been the starter on a team that
has closed out a national champions So his entire life
has been building to this point. Like I said, he
did everything he could two years ago to win a
Super Bowl, didn't get it, gets paid. Then the implosion
last year happens, and all of a sudden, it's ooh,
Jalen hurt sucks, and you pay the wrong guy. Can
you wive them? All these sorts of things? And now
here he sits again with another opportunity sixty minutes away
to shut up everybody forever.
Speaker 3: And where the Eagles were last year when the slide started, Sirianni,
We're thinking, Okay, is he going to even be the
coach next year? He came into this year, I mean,
it was a great unknown of how they were going
to respond. Now they signed Saquon, but even that that
wasn't like, oh my gosh, they're gonna be back in
the super Bowl. Remember, a lot of people are like,
should you have paid a running back that much?
Speaker 2: Is that the right move?
Speaker 3: And so they like they've had questions, and so all
they've done is win football games. Though they've put their
head down, gone to work. And you know, Jalen Hurts
is somebody that I've always felt like has done it
the right way. Is like, yeah, you never heard him
complain in Alabama, but very easily he could have. And
I know he ended up transferring, but even that that
was quiet, like he didn't bash Alabama on the way out,
Like you didn't hear him really bash you know, Sirianni
or or the front office, and maybe he had those
conversations behind closed door, but in a day and age
when everything, all of that kind of comes to the forefront,
all the frustration comes to the forefront. Like he's never
been that guy, and so he's a very easy guy
to root for as well.
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, Uh, And it's he's he's kind
of has a little bit jake of always the bridesmaid,
never the bride to him when you look at him
into uh, and then you think about his twenty nineteen
he's in Oklahoma, which again is actually one of the
greatest seasons of all time and would have won the
Heisman any other year. Yeah, except that he ran in
Joe Burrow. I mean, he threw for nearly four thousand yards,
he do of over thirty touchdowns, just like eight picks
or somethingdy, he played seventy percent of passes, he rushed
for fourteen hundred. He rushed for another twenty something touchdowns.
And yet Joe Burrow, so this is his opportunity to
get back at Patrick Mahomes the ultimate Joe Burrow. So
just a massive amount on the line for Jalen Hurts,
I mean and then for Nick Sirianni again, everybody knows
the story here just to winning this coach that no
one thinks it's good, that even in the midst of
this year, they don't think it's good. I mean him
and Hurts are forty eight and twenty together as the
Eagles head coaching quarterback forty eight and twenty, the first
Eagles duo to ever make multiple Super Bowls. But you
got to win one of these things if you want
to be the full you know, Joe pett Well, not
Joe pesche I guess that's you're getting popped. But no,
like the full, true made man. If you want to
be the true made man, to speak in Sirianni parlance,
you gotta find a way to win.
Speaker 3: What if you don't want to shine shoes anymore like
Joe in the movie, right, but really become a made man. Yeah,
you definitely got to go out and win one because
if you don't, and this is gonna sound disrespectful, I
don't want it to be. But then you're Jim Kelly.
Then you get lost in the conversation. Then you're Damn Marino.
You get lost in the conversation. If Dann Marino wins
one super Bowl. We talk about him as a top
five quarterback because of his talent, because of his stats
at the time.
Speaker 2: He didn't, so we don't. You gotta get one.
Speaker 3: That's why, like Drew's gonna always be in the conversation
because he did get that one super Bowl, and if
you don't, unfortunately, it's just it's the one position right
in all of sports where you can't be considered the
greatest to ever play your position if you don't win
the big one.
Speaker 2: Now, from the Chiefs perspective, obviously, look, they're trying to
do history, Jake. They're trying to win their third Super
Bowl in the row. Didn't wait, sorry, I thunder sitting
you up? Did he have a fund? Do you have
a fun fund?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Nobody's ever done it, yes, right, yeah, And so they're
trying to get it done. And only so the Green
Bay Packers in super Bowl one and two. Okay, they
get it done. The Miami Dolphins and Super Bowl seven
and eight shout out. Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers the only
team only franchise to do it twice super Bowl nine, ten,
and then thirteen and fourteen.
Speaker 2: The Patriots never did it twice. Amids all those Super Bowls,
like they never did two though. Yeah, and I'm sitting
here doing the research.
Speaker 3: Somebody, wait a minute, Like, surely they won seven of
these things and they played in like a bazillion of them.
The forty nine Ers in Super Bowl twenty three and
twenty four, the Cowboys in twenty seven and twenty eight. Taylor,
that's the last time they've done anything good. The Denver
Broncos in thirty two and thirty three. Certainly remember Lway
getting those after losing so many Super Bowls. The Patriots
did it in thirty eight and thirty nine, and then
the Kansas City Chiefs and fifty seven and fifty eight.
So for the Patriots, they won back to back. They
beat Carolina thirty two to twenty nine, then they beat
Philly twenty four to twenty one.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 3: So it's like it in our brains, at least in
my brain. I'm like, yeah, somebody's done that before. Yes,
maybe those Cowboys teams in the nineties. Met I think
it was three or four. Like we've had some three
or four's, We've never had three in a row.
Speaker 2: I think it is. It's a little bit of Mendelphick's
probably not correct, but yes, I agree with you that
that is not as well known as you would think.
That the Chiefs are trying to become the first team
to ever do it. They would also join the Cowboys
and the Niners with five super Bowls overall. Only the
Patriots and Steelers have more, with six. Championship number four
for Mahomes would tie him with Bradshawn Joe Montana for
second most all time, of course, to Tom Brady and
Andy Reid would join Bill Belichick and Chuck Knowle as
the only coaches with more than three Super Bowl victories.
So a ton on the line in terms of legacy
for both teams. All right, let's do this when we
get back. Got a few more super Bowl thoughts and
kind of more one of these, at least into some
Saints front office talk, because we always clown the Giants.
But I kind of feel like, you know, New York's

Super Bowl fifty nine Radio Row in New Orleans presented
by Low Bears, Casino, Hotel, Baton Rouge.
Speaker 2: Oh watch out, the Brown Boys are back. What can
Brown do for you? Bring you an excellent Radio Row
Monday Morning Super Bowl show? Uh oh, Jake's got the
felt tip out already projects are being worked on. Who
knows what internet wormhole he is falling into? What are
we writing about here, Jakie?
Speaker 3: And So I gave you the teams that have gone
back to back, yes, but one of the things that
I wanted to try to find out is how did
they do in the third season? Okay, okay, So like
I collate the results, we don't need it. Yeah, I'm
only I'm only on the Steelers right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So we got we got more time? Will
we will figure this out over time. So I mentioned
New Orleans New York front offices and how I think
New Orleans is kind of skating by Why is that? Well, Jake,
this is pretty interesting. Now. I know that free agency
is relatively new right early nineties, so a lot of
numbers are going to deal with It's kind of in places.
Whatever the point is. The twenty twenty four Eagles Jake
are the only Super Bowl team since nineteen seventy to
add two first team All pros through free agency fourteen
listen to this, though fourteen other teams had one such player.
The other ninety five had zero. So it's actually very
very rare to get a player of that caliber through
free agency, because, of course, why would you let them go? Right?
I guess in the Giants case, it's because they pay
Dale Jones. Well, I mean, who's the other guy though,
it's Zach Bonn. I mean Zack Bond, first team All
Pro linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles who barely sniffed the
field in New Orleans, who said he used to pull
up to the building and start crying in the parking
lot because of how much he didn't enjoy going into work. So,
I mean, we sit here and we make fun of
the Giants constantly. Yeah for letting saekwondo and what it's
done to them, But guess what, you let Zack Bond go,
and you're just as bad as the Giants. So here
it is, Jake, yet another piece of evidence to bile
on to Mickey Loomis and what has been a god
awful run for that Saints front office. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The worst part about it is like when they drafted him,
a lot of us were excited because you got him
in the third round and he was, you know, believed
to be a first round talent. You feel like you
got this steal and you just you never found it out.
You never developed the player. Like the skill set was there,
but you didn't develop the player. And so that's what's
going to be so frustrating is when you look at it, Tee.
Even if he would have gone on to be a
starter for a Super Bowl team and a nice player,
it would have been disappointing. We're talking first first Pro,
the best at his position in the National Football League, Yeah, right, Yeah,
and you couldn't promise him playing time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and on a team that you know, won in
an old school, gritty, very defense heavy style throughout the
year and he was the best player on said defense. Again,
only fourteen other Super Bowl team since seventy added a
first team All Pro and the Eagles added to front
office matters, Yes, it does.
Speaker 3: Front office matters, and developing players and understanding their skill
set matters too.
Speaker 2: You want to you want the key to beating Patrick
mahomes Hake. Yeah, if you if you've got it, okay,
And this is going to set it up and sell it.
Shout out to the athletic I found this ah crap
was in Sando's article. It was one of the athletic
pieces in Super Bowl. But and it's gonna sound obvious,
but then I'm gonna show you why it's maybe a
bit more interest than you think.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: The key to meeting Patrick Mahomes is making him hold
onto the ball. And you're like, okay, right, well, duh,
that's any quarterback, right, The longer you hold on the ball,
they're gonna be awful. Uh, well that's what I thought too. However,
let's compare him to Josh Allen Lamar Jackson. So when
Mahomes gets rid of it in two point three to
two point eight seconds, he's thirty one and two. His
record is literally like the better the quicker he gets rider.
So if he gets rid of it two point three
twenty thirty one and two two point eight to three,
he's forty and five. Yeah, three to three point three
thirty one and eleven. But then when he's over that
three three average time to throw, he's two and eight
in his career. So from thirty one, two forty five,
thirty eleven, two and eight. That's a Steve drop and
be like, okay, of course he WoT, but he's holding
on the ball. It means Pastors is working coverage work
and he's confused. Like every quarterback's gonna be worth well,
Josh Allen. You can see these numbers, Jake, it's pretty
even down the board. He's fifteen and six when he
goes over three to three, and he's like twenty two
and three when he's in two point thirty two eight, right,
Lamar Jackson, sixteen and ten when he's over three to three.
Pretty much even at all the different times to throw
as well. So for whatever reason there is just like again,
is this a reach? Absolutely okay, but it is the
thanos thing, like when when doctor Strange as the timestone
and he goes through all the realities, you have to
find the one reality in which you can get it done.
And this is really the only correlating factor between Patrick
Mahomes having a bad record and something that is happening numerically.
For what it's worth, last time against Philly he averaged
two point six.
Speaker 3: So the wile apart that's that is we think of
Patrick Mahomes and his improv skills to be elites.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that weird. That's true.
Speaker 3: So it's like for me, I'm like, oh, that that's
a shocking stab because when he extends plays, that's typically
when Travis Kelcey just finds a way in a window
to get open and you're like, got him. My god,
they did it again, you know, Like that's the feeling
that you have with Patrick Mahomes. So like that to
me is shocking because it just feels like time and
time again we've seen you know, he's got the little
hand wave whenever he's out there running and like he
just makes the play every single time.
Speaker 2: So I guess because like what mixed in of all
that is all Andy Reid's just quick Hitters's a lot
of movement getting out your hand. Who knows we had
touch passes bringing down the average time to throw some
But uh again, you know this is a bit like
the key to stomping some Brady is getting you know
a past rush with four people. Well okay, yeah, I
mean duh, but like how do you do that? And
again in the same way, I don't know how you
soap down Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. I don't know
how you confuse him to play with the hold onto it,
but when he does, the record suffers. Yeah again, whatever
that's worth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, surprising stat also surprising for Alan to be fifteen
and six when holding to you to the football for
three and a half seconds.
Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, no, I know. I mean, it's it's uh,
it's it's it's weird that Lamar and Allen are basically
the same at all the different times to throw, whereas
Mahomes is like fully unbeatable and then fully beatable. Uh.
Some of the chats talking about something that we were
kind of touching on the other day, Jake, but we
haven't really fully done the bit yet. I'm kind of
waiting for one of the Saints writers to do it.
But which is the fact that this Zach Bond critique
exends beyond just sack Bond, Right, It's like we said, like,
the Saints may not be as bad as drafting as
we think, but for whatever reason, they're also really bad.
And I've been awful of the first round picks, but
they've also been really bad and identified what talent to
keep right. You see Trey Hendrickson leading the league in
sacks whatever, Chucks Guarnter Johnson's gonna have a lot of
success up with alex ANZELONEI key starting piece, very good
on that Detroit Lions defense. Marcus Williams OOSI for a
while after he left. You Like, it's it's been pretty
shocking some of the talent that you have allowed out
of that building.
Speaker 3: It is and it goes back to what we you know,
identifying who to keep and who not to keep. That's
the same thing, Like the talent portion of it. You
have them in your building, and when you've hit on
draft choices, you haven't retained those players and you've decided
to keep the wrong player or you've made a very
bad decision in free agency. Like that's another thing the
Saints have done. Yeah, Like sure, Marcus Mays and the
jerious Birds. I mean, we could go on and on
with guys that they gave money to from other places
instead of keeping one of their own who was right
there and ready to make an impact. Now have they
hit on some Yeah, sure, like Tomoro Davison, one of
the best free agent signings ever. But still they've missed
on more and they've brought in the wrong guy way
more than they've brought in the right guy, and they
certainly have let the wrong person go multiple times over.
Speaker 2: Somebody says to look at uh, where was it? I wonder,
I wonder credit who was at Chad? They said, look
at this, look at the Eagles last three drafts, and
look at the oh here was gold South go Eagle
last few drafts, and the picture the first rounds in
each all picks play contribute big time. Must be nice
of good for an office, Scuts. So in twenty two
the Eagles draft Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens to Kobe Dean,
in twenty three Jalen Carter, Nolan, Nolan Smith, Tyler Steen,
and then this last year Quinyan Mitchell, Cooper de john
and Jalen Hn. Yeah again all of those guys playing contributing.
I agree, girls, sign it must be nice.
Speaker 3: Like you think immediately, like think about the corners, like
when Mitchell and Dejane that they drafted, like, yeah, those
some of the best, yeah young corners in all the NFL.
And I mean you're just looking at who they've taken
in the depth of these drafts as well. It's not
just like the first arounds like Sidney Brown, a couple
of years ago. It's what third I think it's a
third round pick and like that, that's a player that's
very impactful for them. So they're hitting on multiple rounds,
not just the first rounders. Now, you'd love to hit
on the first rounders. That's the most important thing. But
also like it's the depth of these drafts. Again, their first.
Speaker 2: Rounders, Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Quiny and Mitchell you know,
ye all awesome, DeVante Smith before that, Okay, Jalen Reager
before that. So yeah, yeah, instead of Jets Jalen Reed.
Everybody misses. That's true, Like how good? How good could
this team be if they had Jets and Avanti Smith
and everything?
Speaker 3: They wouldn't have a j Brown, But I take Jets
over a j Brown.
Speaker 2: Either way. Shout out to the Philly front office. New
Orleans take notes. That's my expert analysis on the New
Orleans Saints front office. We part, Uh, all right, let's
say this when we get back. I think I think
we're we can move away from the super Bowl for
a little bit. Insanely enough, I really really want to
talk about the Luka Dancis trade. I know we don't
talk a lot of NBA here, but it is it
has blown my mind to the point where, like I
find it to be unfathomable. But before you get that,
let's wrap up our Senior Bowl coverage with a couple
of excellent stories and moments that took place every weekend.
More OTB coming up next off the bench, but to
main event of bet Ruse. That's right, guys. You want

and I remember we got dedicated party planners on to say,
im by ready to go go to main event Beverage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you go there today, you'll see everything that

of make it. You're on if you want to have

Speaker 2: Take time, Get your time.
Speaker 1: Off the Bent with Hester and t Bob live from
Super Bowl fifty nine Radio Row in New Orleans, presented
by Low Bears Casino Hotel.
Speaker 2: Baton Rouge was heading y'all, welcome back to OT wrapping
up out number one live from Radio Row here in
New Orleans at the Super Bowl. Guys, what a setup.
Very cool. Still, you know, we're still kind of like
one of the only shows on right now, but I'm
sure it's going to pick up more and more as
time goes on again, So I still want to I
got a ton that I want to talk about. One
of the things that I think just maybe bears mentioning
but not really discussion. The LSU men's basketball team got
their ass kicked by Texas over the weekend. A nine
forty eight. But in classic form, the LSU women's basketball
team dominates Mississippi State eighty one sixty seven and shout
out Flage as her defense once again on display. She
Carol Jordan was fresh off of a forty point game
and Flage shut her down, held her down to this
nine points season low shot needs some more. You know,
she dominated as well. All right, Jake, But maybe my
favorite moment over the week I'm sure to be brought
back up again during weekend winners. Jack Besh. Jack Besh
finishes off the week with the most Outstanding Player award
for the entire Senior Ball So a massive week for
Besh helping himself having his NFL dreams come true, but
in true storybook fashion in the actual game on Saturday,
few seconds left, fourth and goal and Jack Besh catches
the game winning walk off touchdown pass wins twenty two
to nineteen of both teams. Mobham coaches everybody he immediately
falls to a knee. He credits his brother, the Hero
Tiger immediately afterwards for being there with him giving him wings.
I mean, real storybook week. Storybook ending to a storybook
week for Jack Besh, who's also named MVP of the
game itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what an incredible moment. The year I played in
the senior ball we walked it off. Bubba Caldwell ran
a reverse from the one yard line. Yeah, we were
in a reverse one. But let me just tell you
that that didn't have the same feeling that this one had.
I mean, all the things that you just mentioned and
Jack Bash and what practicing that week, I don't know
how he got it done. Yeah, like his brother's birthday
was on the first day of practice, he went out
there and balled out on the first day of practice.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know to the day, it was a month.
Speaker 3: I mean we're not talking about that much time that
had passed and he was out there and you know,
had to escape for a couple of hours and play
the game that he knows so well, and you know,
surrounded by friends and family. Saw a lot of the
best is there on the last day of practice and
just that family coming together, surrounding each other with their
love and being able to get that done. And we've
talked about the best family, you know, so many times
over the last couple of weeks because of who they
are and what they mean, and just the DNA of
that family. But this is just incredible to see them,
you know, come together right now as a family during
this tragic time to support each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I gain just real real. It was a storybook, man, storybook. Like,
if you haven't seen the video, again, that's probably my
least favorite part about being on site is it's harder
for us to play videos and kind of all react
to it with you. But if you have not seen
the video, just google Jack Besh, you know, walk off
or or or looking up on Twitter, your favorite social
media and you'll see it. Then it is going to, uh,
it's going to make it feel a little dusty in
your room, I would say. Also shout out to Miles
Fraser Jake, who told us when I first interviewed him,
even though I don't know because you never got to
play the original interview, but I was kind of taken
aback and this on me for not asked about this
in the follow up. But as soon as I talked
to him, he was like, yeah, man, I've been dominating,
Like straight up, He's just like I've been kicking ass
all week long, blah blah blah. I was like, oh man,
you really feel well, Miles Frasier named most Outstanding Offensive
Lineman of the Week after the Senior Bowl. And it's
interesting because you kind of talked to coach Kelly about
this and how Miles' attitude in the run up to
the bowl game and how he approached it and the
opportunity to still play in that game really paid dividends
for him. As he was he was still very sharp
from this season. He had not had an extended break.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so when you look at I mean, Emory Jones,
the last game that he would have played would have
been an Oklahoma game. You look at Gary Dellinger Texas
A and m game when you know, maybe he could
have tried to come back at the end of the
last portion of the season there. But Moss Frazer played
in the ball game, right, and he went out there
and he thrived, and he looked like a guy that
was coming off a good performance against a Bailer team
that had won multiple.
Speaker 2: Games in a row, and so like that was a
big week for him.
Speaker 3: He showed not only that he can play at that level,
he showed he could play two different positions at that level.
Speaker 2: Now, I think he's gonna live inside a guard.
Speaker 3: But when you show that you can be a swing
guy like that is going to like boost you like
he probably went up two rounds. Yeah, maybe even that's
not he might have gone from a fifth round pick
to a third round pick.
Speaker 2: He had that kind of week down in Mobile, and
he said his entire goal for the week was to
prove that he was the most versatile swing O lineman
and in in Mobile, and uh mission accomplished, Miles Frazier,
So really great ending to an excellent week in Mobile.
You got about a minute left here. Did anybody watch
anything to do with the Pro Bowl? Do we do
what happen? No? I didn't. What did you watch? Rivers?
Joe Burrow? What do you do? Hit through a football?
He hit all the targets. Skills competition? What do they
do now? They do a skills competition? Te Bob.
Speaker 3: I'd be lying if I said I know they play
a flag game, but I didn't see any of said
flag game.
Speaker 2: I'm doing contest.
Speaker 3: I did see the punters punning into like big trash cans,
basically tight saw that saw some deep snappers hit down
some bowling pins.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, dude, because I used to as a little kid.
I used to be so hype for the Pro Bowl
every year. Yeah, I mean all your favorite players all
wearing the is like cool conference with their helmets. Yeah fighting.
I remember the like starting lineup. Pro Bowl Edition toys
were so cool all right? Uh our one of the books,
Hour too. We gotta talk lucod company as well as
a bunch of local stuff.
Speaker 1: Keep you lock off the bench.
