mobile Alabama, day two of the Senior Bowls. Shout out

10
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:32,840
to Labar's About in Rouge Hotel Casino for sponsoring the

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,439
trip out here because we get to do cool things

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,000
like this like kick off the show with LSU's all

13
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:40,600
time leading pass catcher in the tight end position, and

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,320
that is our guy, Mason Taylor.

15
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:45,039
Speaker 2: Mason, what's up, man? How are you feeling today?

16
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:45,679
Speaker 4: Feeling great?

17
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me?

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: How does it feel? Or would you let me let

19
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:52,280
me ask you this way? Would you have ever guessed

20
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:57,679
when you committed to LSU that you would be introduced

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,200
later as the all time leading pass catcher?

22
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: I'd say it's definitely a goal of mine to do

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,640
and to be an impact on a program like LSU

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,200
like this, so definitely one of my dreams for sure,

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200
and being able to accomplish one of those things is

26
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:13,599
definitely a dream come true.

27
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 5: One of the things we were talking about, Mason was

28
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:19,079
immediately you had to become that guy. I mean, you

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,000
get to LSU and you're playing against Florida State in

30
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:24,840
the Superdome, you're starting. What was that like to know

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,239
that as a freshman you're gonna be counted on that much?

32
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great.

33
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:32,359
Speaker 4: It just shows the coaches trust in me that that week.

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,359
And I think I didn't early en roll, so I

35
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,480
came in the summer, so everything was kind of fast.

36
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:38,599
But I mean getting adjusted to that, I feel like

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,879
it was pretty natural. And be able to have a

38
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,359
shine in the first game like I did, and be

39
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:45,840
able to finish that game out, it was was definitely surreal.

40
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:46,799
Speaker 5: Uh.

41
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,599
Speaker 3: Well, and speaking of finishing out, we got to talk

42
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,319
about the Alabama couch. We can do that a little

43
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,120
bit later because I want to look at this last season.

44
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,799
We'll start talking about the Senior Bowl as well, and

45
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,200
what's coming up this week. But uh, this last year,

46
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:00,560
like like you said, you you come in summer as

47
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:03,400
a freshman, so you're really just thrown into the deep

48
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680
end the pool. You're playing catchup. You do great, asked

49
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,120
to do a lot. But then this last year, you

50
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,080
you had become almost the security blanket of the team, right,

51
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,319
the veteran leader. Like whenever a play was needed, it

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,800
seemed like nuts looked for you be some ridiculous third

53
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,759
down conversion on the sideline. What was the process for you?

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,599
What do you think the keys were to the process

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,599
in kind of creating that growth over the three years

56
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:33,400
and becoming that that that sort of a bedrock player

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:33,919
for the team.

58
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:36,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just showing that trust like I was

59
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:39,919
talking about in practice, and building that confidence from the

60
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,560
coaching standpoint, your offensive coordinator and your quarterback, just knowing

61
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,439
that you'll be there and you'll be consistent on those

62
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:48,080
downs where they need you. So being that reliable target

63
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,080
was huge for me this year.

64
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: What about the difference in quarterbacks because you play with

65
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:54,000
two really good ones and Jade Daniels and Garrett Nussmeyer.

66
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,360
But was there a different mentality maybe playing with those

67
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,520
two quarterbacks because very good but very different.

68
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

69
00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I honestly, I don't think they're much different

70
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,120
than people think they are. They're both really hard working,

71
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,840
great worth ethic, and I think just the way they

72
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:15,039
lead and they both very great leadership and the way

73
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,599
they play the game. I mean, they played a game

74
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,000
at a high level and they prepare for it and

75
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:20,199
they do a great job doing it.

76
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: Well, okay, then let's talk. Well, actually, first off, I

77
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:25,680
want to ask you about this.

78
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: What's it? How crazy is it? What Jayden's doing in

79
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,400
the league right now.

80
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,919
Speaker 4: I've been following Washington that the whole playoffs because of him,

81
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,960
But yeah, seeing what he do, it's like, it's honestly

82
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,919
not even surprising, because I just think the way he

83
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,800
works every single day and the way he puts his

84
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,319
and dedicates his time to the game is definitely surreal.

85
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 5: Well, so, okay, you're coming from the same school you

86
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:49,240
mentioned watching Jayden.

87
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: How about you have three.

88
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 5: Of the Rookie of the Year finalists from LSU teammates

89
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,639
of yours, and so you coming from LSU. The talent

90
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,960
that we've all put in the NFL, I have to

91
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,439
imagine like they give you little boost of confidence, like, hey,

92
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:02,840
if they can go out there and do it, I

93
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:04,879
know where I'm coming from. I played with those guys

94
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:06,439
and gives you like a little bit of a confidence

95
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:07,639
boost going into the league.

96
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, for sure, Like you said, them going

97
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:14,280
and balling out their rookie years, I mean it's truly extraordinary.

98
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,399
So seeing them do that, and I was just playing

99
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:18,480
with them for two years, it is definitely a confidence.

100
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:23,519
Speaker 2: All Right, Void talks Senior Bowl. I mean, what does

101
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,199
it feel like?

102
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,199
Speaker 3: It take us into the emotions of the Alabama two

103
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,480
point conversion, because that is a play you have achieved

104
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,959
what I think everybody wants to assumps that you've achieved

105
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,079
real football immortality, right like that is a play that

106
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,759
will be played on every highlight package for decades to come.

107
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:42,839
Even if you never do anything else in your life,

108
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:44,160
you can show your.

109
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Kids like this is what look at this, I did this?

110
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:50,279
Uh what did? What did that feel like? Like?

111
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: I mean it's a blur moment. I mean something like

112
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,560
that caliber and and that team. I mean we had

113
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,879
a great team and Alabama was a tough team to

114
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,800
play and it was just a sold out that night

115
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,959
in Dues Valley. So I mean that just speaks for itself.

116
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,560
And I think that game was just a surer moment.

117
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,759
And being able to, like I said, gain that trust

118
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,399
of those offensive coordinators and and my quarterback in such

119
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:13,600
an early time to get the ball thrown to me

120
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:15,720
in a situation like that is definitely.

121
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 5: Did you get to keep anything from that because I know,

122
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,639
I think I'm pretty sure you threw the ball up

123
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,639
in the air, so there's no telling where that's.

124
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: No, they gave me the ball, they did.

125
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 3: Okay, good, Yeah, let's go.

126
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: Which equipment do you remember because we got get me

127
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:28,920
a shout out?

128
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 5: I don't know.

129
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: I bet it was Chase.

130
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: After the video you see them all running around, grabbing

131
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,279
the pylons and then grabbing the balls and all that stuff.

132
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,959
Speaker 5: But the fact that they found a way to get

133
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:38,720
that football back to you, that's incredible.

134
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,879
Speaker 2: I thought that was lost forever. All right.

135
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,399
Speaker 3: So, so you talked about the growth that you've had

136
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,920
during your years at else you getting the judge quarterback coaches,

137
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:53,079
how do you approach now a week long practice schedule

138
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:55,319
where you don't have excited time to like create chemistry

139
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,199
and everything, but you have to put your best foot

140
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,160
forward because this is your audition for the biggest league

141
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,600
in the world.

142
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's just I mean, it's a game

143
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:05,600
of football. I mean, at the end of the day,

144
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,480
it's it's as simple as that. So just diving into

145
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,079
the playbook they've given us and just trying to understand

146
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,839
it as best as possible. And really, at the end

147
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:14,480
of the day, just go out there and be yourself,

148
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:17,319
you know, showcase your talent no matter what you're doing,

149
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:18,920
just really just compete and give effort.

150
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 3: Do you have any personal goals in terms of skill

151
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,800
sets that you think you want to show or you

152
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,399
feel like maybe people are doubting you on.

153
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:32,759
Speaker 4: I just want to show my show my pride and

154
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,759
taking and not coming off the field and being that

155
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:37,959
all time time time end and doing everything for the team.

156
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,720
So doing that run game protection and running routes. Just

157
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,240
making sure I show and showcase my complete tight end

158
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,360
nature to doing everything tight end is really important for me.

159
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,879
Speaker 5: So this is a it's a trying time too, because

160
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,959
you know you're you're making this transition. This is a

161
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,800
tough week. You gotta do the training, the combine all

162
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,199
of those situations. But you have some pretty good people

163
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,079
in your family to lean on. With your dad, with

164
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,680
your uncle. I played against both of them. I mean

165
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,800
they're straight dogs, right, had great mentalities. Do you lean

166
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,879
on people like that, Like, Hey, when you were going

167
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:08,720
through this process, if you were maybe struggling.

168
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:11,519
Speaker 2: What helped you? Like, is that a great resource for you? Yeah?

169
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,079
Speaker 4: For sure, Like you said, I mean, anytime you're struggling

170
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,399
or are neat questions to anything, I know they're right

171
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:17,879
there in my back pocket to ask you.

172
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:20,879
Speaker 3: And you told us you're training in Florida right now,

173
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:23,399
just sir, so you're you're back here.

174
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: Mom's then, Yeah, is she doing your launder right now? Yeah?

175
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:30,959
The ultimate goal? Right, I had a lot of balance,

176
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,920
so she.

177
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:34,879
Speaker 4: Really she she helps me out a line and I

178
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,639
love her for sure.

179
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: Where are we at?

180
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: Well, where we are from a nerve standpoint right now,

181
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:42,519
I know this can be a very you know not

182
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,160
I'm not saying like ner but it can be a

183
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,839
very It's it's a pressure filled week.

184
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think, I mean, I think it's just

185
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:50,160
the way I was raised.

186
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:51,199
Speaker 2: It's kind of just natural.

187
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:53,199
Speaker 4: Just I know, it's I know it's a big week,

188
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,079
but having confidence in myself and just knowing who I

189
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,000
am and what type of player I am, I think

190
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,199
I'm just going to go out here and just have

191
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,839
a good time, trying to have fun and definitely compete

192
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:03,279
and just show my effort in my game.

193
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,279
Speaker 5: See, I always give my PSA, like just know the

194
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,120
are going to be the most physical practices, yeah, that

195
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,759
you've ever been a part of. And I know you

196
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,000
know that again leaning on people, but that's what they are.

197
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,360
I mean, these are like game reps. Every rep here

198
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:17,920
in Mobile during these practices, it's a game rep, and

199
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,959
like you said, you want to prove that, hey, I

200
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,560
can block an edge guy in the past protection game

201
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,000
or in the run game and different things, and so

202
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,439
it is something that like if you go in with

203
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:29,519
the right mentality and you know what it's going to be,

204
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,839
it does make it a little bit easier.

205
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

206
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 4: Like you said, I mean every represent poring here, so

207
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,000
just taking taking every rep one by one and really

208
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:38,679
giving it my all and showing my effort.

209
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: It would be really which drill you're looking forward to

210
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,000
the most? Though? Is it one on ones? I would

211
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,879
say one on ones? I mean that's everyone's drill.

212
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,399
Speaker 4: But I mean, honestly, just coming out here and doing

213
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,679
everything the nine on seven or the team periods in

214
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,960
the seven on seven, just making sure I could do

215
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:54,840
all everything that tight end does.

216
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 3: Do they make the time trying to remember how often

217
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,480
do they make the tight ends to the past rush

218
00:08:58,519 --> 00:08:59,039
one on ones.

219
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 5: I mean with us with the backs, they were you

220
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:03,759
know they'd go that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it

221
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:05,360
would be like, you know, three backs would go then

222
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:05,759
a tight end.

223
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: So tight ends the only position that gets because you know,

224
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,519
like route running one on ones, that's an offensive drill. Yeah,

225
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,120
pass rush run on ones, that's I guess running backs

226
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:16,320
as well.

227
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, running backs get the same. I like that you

228
00:09:19,799 --> 00:09:21,840
said nine on seven though. That does my full back

229
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:23,480
heart a lot of Yeah.

230
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: Ude, it's gonna be uh, it's gonna be it's gonna

261
00:10:58,519 --> 00:10:59,159
in America.

262
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: Off the.

263
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:03,879
Speaker 3: Yo.

00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: What's going on?

265
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 6: Yo?

266
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 3: We'll go back here in Mobile, Alabama. We are live

267
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:12,039
in the Mobile Convention Center today. In a lot of ways,

268
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,519
kind of day one of the Senior Bowl players rolling around.

269
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,759
There's a tension in the air. Scouts have infested the city.

270
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:27,159
The the viper's nest of would be Alpha's patrolling every

271
00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:31,960
single bar in this city, staring down one another, chest

272
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:35,320
puffed out, trying to prove dominance over the other. Not

273
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:39,360
a single female insight in those who are well. They

274
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,960
might as well be a Christmas Tree and Rockefeller Center

275
00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:47,919
because the ratios here are insane this week in Mobile, Alabama.

276
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,879
Shout out to Labar's Casino Hotel in bat Rouge were

277
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,399
sponsoring the trip. Getting us out here at ratio's probably

278
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,639
been better down there, but again, it is a fascinating

279
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,159
time for the city where it just the entire football world.

280
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,240
This sends here and you can feel attention in the air. Jake,

281
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,440
as practice is about to begin. Right after the show,

282
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,360
We'll be heading over to the practice fields, and I

283
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:13,320
cannot wait to see who starts to write their legend

284
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,279
right Like we only knew Quiny and Mitchell was gonna

285
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,559
be awesome this year because of what he did in

286
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,159
Mobile last year. I remember the first year ever came

287
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,519
to movie. You know, the guy was making all the waves,

288
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,519
Aaron Frickin' Donald. They're like, wait, who is this? Who

289
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,679
is this ww All the time they like this is

290
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:35,720
like Pitt d Lineman and he's like not that big looking,

291
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,320
but he's just out here dominating people.

292
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,639
Speaker 2: So I can't wait to learn today who's going to

293
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,480
start that journey.

294
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:45,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, it happens every year. I mean you mentioned Mitchell.

295
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,840
I mean I think Ladd McConkie. We all knew who

296
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,320
he was, but we didn't know Lad was going to

297
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,320
be cooking people like that in one on ones.

298
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,799
Speaker 2: I mean it was highly impressive.

299
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: I go back to I guess it was two three

300
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,840
years ago and Jaden Reid, receiver from Michigan State. I'm like,

301
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:04,799
they can't cover him. Nobody can cover him. It's like

302
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:07,759
I don't really know his game right now, but you

303
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:10,559
quickly learned it. He turned himself into a does anybody

304
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,240
really know this guy? To a second round pick? And

305
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:16,000
now he's Green Bay's number one receiver, right. So, like

306
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:17,840
that's what we find out in a week like this,

307
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,440
Like you were put on a stage, you were put

308
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,080
on an island.

309
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: You're one old one who is going to win.

310
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,159
Speaker 5: And if you've got somebody out here with these rosters

311
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,399
of Jim Nag and his staff have put together and

312
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,159
you're showing out and you're separating yourself from that kind

313
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,279
of group, you know you've got a pretty good chance

314
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,840
to not only get drafted early, but to play very early.

315
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:38,200
And so that's always the exciting thing because it's not

316
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:42,600
guys that we know. Yeah, oftentimes, honestly, the big names

317
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:44,799
here aren't the ones that show out in practice.

318
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: Yes, no, you're right, and and it's well that's I

319
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:53,679
think also because like oftentimes the big names in being

320
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:56,440
like high school recruiter maybe in college football are Okay,

321
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,360
you're big, you're you're on a great team. Right, You're

322
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:00,600
you're on a big team, you win a lot, you're

323
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:01,799
one of the better players.

324
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:01,919
Speaker 2: On the team.

325
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,519
Speaker 3: But the cannon you used to always say this dude

326
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,480
when he came playing high school foball, he was like, look, honestly,

327
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,519
because I know I flirted with maybe transferring to evangel

328
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,360
back in the day and over there Maris was a

329
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,480
Georgian football power too, like a small school, and I

330
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,519
thought about maybe going to Maris took the inter examine everything,

331
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:23,440
but he always like, look, you can't if you want,

332
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,519
but like, honestly, if you can play, they don't find you.

333
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:30,200
And Jim Naggy and his team, well they're the guys

334
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,759
that find you. And so yeah, a lot of these

335
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:35,360
people won't have the recognition because maybe they're at a

336
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,039
smaller school, maybe they play a position doesn't get it.

337
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,159
Maybe they were buried because some of the media just

338
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,399
latched onto some of their teammates who are bigger names.

339
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,639
But this, to get here means objectively, you could play

340
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:51,200
at this level. And so that's why you get so

341
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,200
many guys that feel like diamonds in the rough, because

342
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,559
you don't get invited here because of your profile. You

343
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,120
get invited here simply because of what you put on film.

344
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:05,120
So this truly is a meritocratic week here at the

345
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,080
recent Senior Bowl.

346
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: And I can't wait for practice start today.

347
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:11,039
Speaker 5: Like a guy like Harold Fannon Junior from Bowlding Green

348
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,759
tight end that feels like somebody we're going to be

349
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:16,159
talking about on Thursday because of what he did today

350
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,519
and Wednesday. And if you don't know who that is,

351
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:21,399
because everybody knows who Tyler Warren is from Penn State.

352
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,840
He won the Mackie, he won all the awards. Well,

353
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,159
actually a fan and Junior had better stats than him.

354
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:27,879
He had some of the best tight end stats of

355
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:30,840
all time in any single season. But because he played

356
00:15:30,879 --> 00:15:33,000
in the MAC and he played for Bowling Green, not

357
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:36,679
everyone knows him he's not a household name. By Thursday,

358
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,240
he'll be a household name in the draft circles, and

359
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,200
then he'll be drafted and then we'll all know who

360
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,399
he is. But that's the kind of the example that

361
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,879
we're talking about here. So that's a player that I'm

362
00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:48,279
going to identify when we go out to practice. I

363
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,919
want to watch that guy because he should be a

364
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,720
household name. But because of where he played and maybe

365
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,000
what others did around him at bigger schools, he doesn't

366
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,279
get as much play in the national But I promise

367
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,519
you everybody's gonna be talking about it.

368
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:04,879
Speaker 3: Watch any of these playoff games and watch when the

369
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:07,480
starters introduced what school they went to, right, I mean,

370
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,720
it's it's it's it's all over. That's crazy to think

371
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,080
about because Bowling Green actually almost beat Penn State early.

372
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,919
This scene feels like years ago, but way back in

373
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,360
the beginning, every dude, it was an awesome game.

374
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: Bowling Green had him on the roads.

375
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: Fats. We didn't even know at the time, really though,

376
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,240
we we didn't even pitch it. It really was the tight

377
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,360
end ball. Yeah, I mean Warren versus Fann. But anyway,

378
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:29,360
whatever gonna be a great week. You're very excited for

379
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:33,279

KTS Blinds dot com. All right, let's talk a little

397
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:28,920
Saints coaching search. As the news cycle continues to spin

398
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,279
right along first and foremost Jake, it appears that the

399
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,640
Saints Brass is quote not enamored with Mike McCarthy.

400
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: So although the resume is probably because he asked questions,

401
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,200
I mean, look, you know, I don't. I don't I

402
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:47,839
actually know.

403
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if I know anything about McCarthy on

404
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:54,880
a personal level beyond what matsill just what he said.

405
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,559
Speaker 2: You know, he he liked him quite a bit.

406
00:17:57,319 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's Look, I can't speak to

407
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:03,720
the howard the why. But and it makes sense given

408
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:05,720
that there's not known for anything. Word in the street

409
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:10,960
is Saints Press unnamored with Mike McCarthy. And remember yesterday

410
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,680
they fly out to Philadelphia to go meet with Kellen Moore,

411
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,559
and Kellen Moore feels like, well, I think, certainly from

412
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:22,079
the same per second, he is the leader in the

413
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,400
clubhouse or at leats believe that we haven't got any

414
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,279
reports like the interviews went poorly or anything like that.

415
00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 5: So Vegas right now has Remember yesterday we were talking

416
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:34,480
about it. Kellen Morris actually moved up to the top choice. Yeah,

417
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,240
plus three hundred Mike McCarthy plus three fifty Kafka is

418
00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:41,400
plus four to fifty than Anthony Weaver. The Dolphins defensive

419
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,200
coordinator plus six hundred and so it does feel like

420
00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:48,559
Keller Morre's probably the leader. Kelly Moore was the coordinator

421
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:50,880
for the Chargers last year. There was a lot I

422
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,680
liked about him. He's at least got offenses that are

423
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,200
towards the top of the league.

424
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:56,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

425
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 5: I've seen him with stars, I've seen him with an

426
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,079
injury riddled where he still had some success.

427
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: And is it my top choice.

428
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:05,839
Speaker 5: No, But I think if you get Kelly Moore, that

429
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,000
would be much more exciting than some of the other

430
00:19:09,079 --> 00:19:11,799
names that we've thrown around here. Look, Mike McCarthy is

431
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:13,400
a safe choice, and so I think that's a lot

432
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,200
of us thought maybe they would go safe because this

433
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:18,400
might be Mickey Loomis's last time to hire a head coach.

434
00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:21,880
But of the people that are you know, rumored and

435
00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:24,799
the Vegas Says have odds, I think Kella Moore might

436
00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:26,559
be the best of those choices.

437
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I think the things that I like about

438
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,240
more are he's a lefty. You love that? Uh Oh,

439
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,839
I forgot about that. I liked it.

440
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 3: He was fifty and three as a start, No, he

441
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,720
was he was fifty and three as a starter in college.

442
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,519
Speaker 2: Guys No, I like that.

443
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,839
Speaker 3: After this year in Philly, because remember, wasn't he thought

444
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,839
to be kind of a pass happy, little fancy lad

445
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,319
you know, maybe maybe a bit too cute, a bit

446
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,640
too much through the air, and then this year in

447
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,160
Philly he's completely remade that. And granted it's like will

448
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,599
you see que barking, it's kind of My point is

449
00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:06,400
that he completely adjusted his style to maximize his personnel and.

450
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: Look it out, Well it has worked, right.

451
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: And you canna say, oh, well, it's not as productive,

452
00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:12,799
why jail hurts, passing ever has gone down. Whatever it's

453
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,880
creating wins. They don't turn the ball over, They control

454
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,640
the game, They play to their strengths. Like ultimately that's

455
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,440
what you want in a good head coach. But so

456
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,279
I like the the versatility that he showed there. I

457
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,160
think there's something to be said Jake for walking into

458
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,000
a pretty toxic situation.

459
00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: In Philly and having to chess right.

460
00:20:31,079 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it still seems like every single week the

461
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,000
personalities to manage are a lot there, especially with you

462
00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:39,039
probably got aj brown and happy with you every single

463
00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:41,240
week because he's not getting enough, you know, there's not

464
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,559
enough production through the air.

465
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: So I like how he's done that.

466
00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: I think, like anybody else, though, my questions with More

467
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,400
are not x's and o's, it's will he be how

468
00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:54,359
is he thought of as like a leader of men?

469
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: Right?

470
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: And this is kind of funny where just physical appearance

471
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:01,960
kind of change how we judge Johnson links.

472
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: I have no idea what Kellen.

473
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: Moore is like in those situations, but he looks so

474
00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:09,839
cherubic and young and you know, clean shaven and everything.

475
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,880
Like if he had like a beard and gray hair,

476
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,400
what I'd be like?

477
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: You know what?

478
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:16,079
Speaker 3: Actually, I think he looks like a leader of I'm

479
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,039
not sure, but that seems to be the positives and

480
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,079
kind of the question marks surrounding Kellen Moore right now.

481
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,319
I got to give it to the cannon though, because

482
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,440
when we were watching games on NFL Network, thinking they

483
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,279
were playoff games a few weeks back, he kept talking

484
00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:31,839
about how.

485
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,039
Speaker 2: More was was his favorite, was his favorite choice.

486
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 3: And this was when Brady and Glenn and everybody else

487
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:39,720
was still out there.

488
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 5: I think one of the things that when you look

489
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,240
at his playing career and how he transitioned into the

490
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,960
coaching realm, it was one year. So he was with

491
00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:53,000
the Cowboys for three seasons as a player, his last

492
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:55,680
year was seventeen, and then in eighteen he immediately gets

493
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,559
the quarterback coaching job there for the Cowboys. I think

494
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:01,119
that kind of tells you what he was in that building.

495
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,559
Sure he wasn't an offensive consultant and analyst. He didn't

496
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:06,400
have to go to college and have a year of

497
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:09,319
you know, doing something there and to prove yourself as

498
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:10,000
far as a coach.

499
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: No finishes in seventeen. He's a quarterback coach in eighteen.

500
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:14,039
That is great.

501
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,559
Speaker 5: So I think that shows you kind of what a

502
00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:18,759
lot of people like around the game think of him.

503
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:21,599
And also the fact that he could handle that because

504
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:24,039
I'm sure that his peers were still there. I mean

505
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:25,440
think about it, like probably a lot of the same

506
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,960
quarterback round and he's going from sitting there to now

507
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,559
having the clicker and sitting in the back of the

508
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,359
room and going over the tape and so that part.

509
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,279
And I'm like you, like, I don't know inside and

510
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:36,400
out Keller Moore. I'd have to reach out to somebody

511
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,960
that has played for him, either Dallas or almost at

512
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,759
San Diego.

513
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: LA or Philadelphia.

514
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:44,839
Speaker 5: But I do think him going from player to coach

515
00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:47,640
in the next year kind of tells you at least

516
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:50,839
x's and o's in maturity levels to be able to

517
00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:51,240
handle that.

518
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: So, Jake, you know how scuttle butt tends to float

519
00:22:56,039 --> 00:23:04,359
on the wind. Here in Mobile, there's some positive Kafka buzz.

520
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:06,839
And remember this is something that we talked about, and

521
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:09,079
he's gonna be these coach of either what the American

522
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,079
or national here one or the other. But so I'm

523
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,880
kind of excited to get an eye on him because

524
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,640
we talked about it. We've talked about it, we talked

525
00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:19,079
about it. Yes, we're talk about kind of throughout this

526
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,559
process of Kafka. Where I get that he is from

527
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:26,200
a resume, look at the stats of what the Giant

528
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,359
said everything else, Right, he is a deeply unexciting candidate

529
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,440
from that perspective, But like we mentioned yesterday, there is

530
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,160
a disconnect between those numbers, which are obvious, and the

531
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,640
fact that he's been a finalist for multiple jobs the

532
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,440
last two years. Right, Like there's obviously in NFL circles

533
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,319
there seems to be more respect for him than what

534
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:53,319
his resume would would dictate, is how I would say it.

535
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,720
And so anytime there's that disc guy like we talked

536
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,400
about Okay, we just talked about it doesn't matter, replate,

537
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,319
they're gonna find you.

538
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 2: Like this feels.

539
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,079
Speaker 3: Like a guy that maybe the NFL's way higher on

540
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,759
than the general public. I am not saying that if

541
00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:09,960
it did come down to that, anybody should be happy

542
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:12,559
or or you should cheer it on or say, oh,

543
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:13,960
this is perfect exactly. Let's say it's one of the

544
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,480
entire time. I just mean that, I'm I'm a bit

545
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,359
I've been a little bit intrigued to him for that perspective,

546
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,640
and some of his deepened after here, and people talk

547
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,440
very positively about him last night, just over over some

548
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:28,400
drinks of the Habitasher.

549
00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 2: And maybe so. But if I'm a Saints fan, yeah,

550
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,559
I'm not saying any again, I don't want to be there.

551
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 5: I would also have questions about like him getting so

552
00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:40,440
many interviews and everybody said, oh, really, well, but he

553
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,319
didn't get a job. Uh yeah, yeah, I mean again,

554
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,640
I've like, i mean, I'm sure you've had him.

555
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,839
Speaker 2: I've had him, like I've gone places.

556
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 5: Man, that was awesome, that was great, And you're like,

557
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,200
I'm about to get hired, and then they're like, we'll

558
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,160
be in touch. Yeah, it's like, Okay, well what did

559
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,839
I not do? And it's kind of been multiple times

560
00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,160
for him, so like that that would be a big

561
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:02,359
question for me. And also, if he was truly the

562
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,039
guy and you felt that good about him, why did

563
00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:08,440
you interview three four people after the fact that you

564
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,079
know you had him in the bill? You know what

565
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:11,839
I'm saying, Like that would be a quick like why

566
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:13,799
are you flying to Philly if you feel like he

567
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,559
was your guy? And Nicki Lewis would come up with

568
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,680
something and to be clear to his gum and tell

569
00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:18,200
us why.

570
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:20,559
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't think. I mean, he's obviously not

571
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,799
the Saint's guy. If he was, you'd higher That's what

572
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:25,599
I'm saying, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure you maybe

573
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:26,720
you back into him again.

574
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not saying that.

575
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 3: I'm just I just think it's a bit we'll probably

576
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,960
never see, so there's no point in talking about it,

577
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:34,759
just a little. I thought it was something kind of

578
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,880
interesting that dovetailed with some of the thoughts that were

579
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,799
swirling in my head. Uh so right now, flew out

580
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:45,880
to Philly yesterday. Matt with Callimore seems like things as well.

581
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,799
He's the odds on favor to being the Saints head coach.

582
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,519
We'll see where it ends up going. All right, when

583
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:54,039
we get back here and off the bench, Blake Baker

584
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,599
no longer the highest paid decordinator in college football.

585
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: Breaking down next here, no TV.

586
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 5: Off the bench.

587
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, shout out to our friends over that Gordon

588

00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,119
g team one day after he pulled off the catch,

592
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:17,720
Maybe Taylor?

593
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,039
Speaker 2: How about it, dude, Gordon swooping in and swooping them up.

Speaker 3: Look, speaking of standing up to the big boys, to

595
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,400
the bullies. When you get an accident, the insurance company

00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: Welcome back to OTV Live here the Senior Day two

612
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,799
Mobile Alabama. Shout out to the Bear's bet Rouge Casino

613
00:27:28,839 --> 00:27:31,759
and Hotel for sponsoring the trip out here so we

614
00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:37,440
can get eyes on the future of NFL football.

615
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: Can't wait.

616
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: You can see the players all walking into their team

617
00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:45,039
meeting rooms again. You can feel the attention starting to build, guys,

618
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,680
and and and what happens when when it's it's like

619
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,640
an old rubber band gun or anything that what happens

620
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,720
is attention builds and building.

621
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: Eventually it's got a fire off.

622
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,279
Speaker 3: It's gonna snap, and that's gonna be durn one on

623
00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:00,680
ones and it's gonna be absolutely insane.

624
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 5: It is funny, like every drill is gonna be different

625
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:07,480
for every player. There's something that every player feels confident about.

626
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: Here.

627
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:13,279
Speaker 5: There's something that every player is like, er, I hope

628
00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:16,359
I do well there. You know, there's something that it's

629
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,359
a bad place to be. There's you know, and that's

630
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,759
for a lot of people. T I mean, one of

631
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:21,880
the ones is it's a scary place for a lot

632
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,799
of people because it's a defensive drill. There's all this space,

633
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,640
it's all eyes on you, and certainly like on the

634
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,039
offensive line, like you're not typical like honing in on

635
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:33,720
one person, right, it's the totality of the five guys.

636
00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:35,400
But and so that that makes a lot of sense

637
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,480
for me. It was nine on seven. Like nine on

638
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:41,799
seven I knew for me here, so like that was

639
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,359
like one on ones, like let's go, Like I look,

640
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:46,279
I'm gonna take away inside, We're gonna go up the

641
00:28:46,359 --> 00:28:48,519
rail and I'm gonna feel fine. But nine on seven,

642
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:50,359
I'm like, man, I hadn't done this in a while, right,

643
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,119
I mean I hadn't played fullback in two full seasons,

644
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,440
and all of a sudden, I got three fingers in

645
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,880
the dirt and I gotta go lead block on.

646
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,319
Speaker 2: You know this all American true.

647
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,599
Speaker 5: Keith Rivers maybe USC remember that name, played for Cincinnati Bingles.

648
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: I think that was his name, Keith Rivers. He's all American.

649
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 5: USC played for the Bengals, And I'm like, okay, like

650
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:10,359
I gotta go. And I was like it's not like

651
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,400
a oh my gosh, I can't get this done nerves.

652
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,799
It's like I have to get this done type of nerve.

653
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,359
And so it's it's gonna be different for every single player.

654
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:20,279
It's not just only the one on ones, I would say,

655
00:29:20,319 --> 00:29:23,200
mainly it is the one on ones. But there's gonna

656
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,440
be a drill for everybody here that they're a little

657
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,440
nervous about because they want to do so well.

658
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

659
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 3: And so we'll continue to bringing all yesterday was way

660
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,400
in day A couple of interesting things to note.

661
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:39,319
Speaker 2: Jake one, Jalen Milroe, Welcome to the club, my friend.

662
00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:42,400
But he's not even in your club. He's like he's

663
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,079
in a club underneath you see.

664
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:51,359
Speaker 3: Unlike you big handed freaks, you you disgusting peanut eating

665
00:29:51,559 --> 00:29:56,559
circus weirdos, you carnies, we are an accepting crew in

666
00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:57,519
the nine inch King Club.

667
00:29:57,559 --> 00:29:59,519
Speaker 2: You do not have to be nine inches to get in.

668
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:01,240
It's not inches or under.

669
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: And in fact, what you can allow Patty mahomes in

670
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:05,599
there given that he's nine in a quarter. Uh.

671
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,839
Speaker 2: But Jalen Milroe coming in with what eight and three

672
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,319
fours yesterday.

673
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,559
Speaker 3: Which again, by the way, what there's no starting quarterback

674
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:15,039
in the NFL right now under nine or or something

675
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:20,000
along those lines. So it's it's always it's it's it's

676
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,559
always gonna be such a frustrating moment for potential NFL

677
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,960
quarterback when they get up there and they're like, uh, oh,

678
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,519
your hands is too tiny. You can't play football?

679
00:30:29,599 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: What? Like, I mean, no, do you.

680
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,599
Speaker 3: I don't think Jalen Miler's hand size was why he

681
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,400
maybe struggled this year at times reading defenses or not

682
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,559
making the correct decisions. But if he's not good, people

683
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:41,880
are gonna be like, oh, se you tiny hands.

684
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: Do you remember it wasn't Burrow.

685
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,799
Speaker 3: What did Burrow say a few years ago when he

686
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,519
was like, uh, It's like he's like, I guess my

687
00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:48,920
hands are too tiny played quarterback?

688
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, just I'm just never mind as well go

689
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,680
ahead and retire? Yeah, might well go ahead and retire.

690
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,039
Speaker 6: Yeah.

691
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: And it's one of those silly metrics.

692
00:30:54,759 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 5: And I don't know if this was the first year

693
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,680
that we did this together, if it was the year

694
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,200
before where you hear Kenny a.

695
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,599
Speaker 3: Year Uh yeah, yeah we were, Yeah, we was like

696
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,440
the first year we came. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah,

697
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,480
I mean yeah, I remember that the picket. Now, I

698
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,920
didn't bring him up because like you know, it's NFL

699
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,640
Crisman whatever. But the problem is not because of his hands,

700
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,240
right right right, But I just remember him being here.

701
00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:19,839
And so we were doing shows, me and do him.

702
00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:21,359
We were doing the show like at the stadium in

703
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,039
the press box and like the camera so we had

704
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,559
a feed of the practices right in front of us,

705
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,920
and every time they started talking about Kenny Pickett, the

706
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:29,599
camera guy was.

707
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 5: Zooming and I'm like, oh my god, I feel I

708
00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:35,920
feel so bad for this kid. And t three practices.

709
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:38,480
He had three different glove changes. So first off, he

710
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:40,480
wore glove on his hand and there was three different

711
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,440
ones every day to try to find the right one.

712
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,599
I'm like, dude, you're buying it, like you're you're showing

713
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,279
now yes, And so like it was the conversation. Now

714
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:51,640
he was the only first round quarterback that year, but

715
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,440
it was like, man, just keep the same glove. If

716
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,279
you're gonna wear glove, just keep the same one on.

717
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,839
Speaker 2: We're not. You got a yellow one on, then you

718
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,599
got a white one on, then you got a black

719
00:31:59,599 --> 00:31:59,880
one on.

720
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: Man, uh so on the other here mobile one of

721
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,160
the other funny measurement things from me.

722
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,279
Speaker 2: Yesterday we saw something.

723
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: Very rare, uh the ultra or rare program lie where

724
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:18,079
somebody lied down. Dion Walker was listed in the program

725
00:32:18,119 --> 00:32:19,799
at six six three forty five.

726
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah he's six seven.

727
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: God, he's six seven, not six six and three quarters.

728
00:32:26,359 --> 00:32:29,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, six seven three forty five.

729
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: Are you fin this is numbers here or gentavits attacking

730
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,319
from Kentucky guys?

731
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: Are you freaking kidding me?

732
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: I've never heard of a program listing a six seven

733
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,920
guy at six six so even bigger. Maybe he grew,

734
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,480
like I don't know, Like I mean, you continue to

735
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,640
grow during college. But I cannot wait to get eyes

736
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:44,480
on Dion Walker.

737
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:46,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's what because if you're six two and

738
00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:47,839
a half, you're six to four in the program. Yes,

739
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,440
if yours you know Jackson Dart six one, I think

740
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,440
he measured it. He's probably six three in the program.

741
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:55,160
Abs right, I was always gonna be six foot in

742
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,000
the program, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's I've

743
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,599
never seen him before, but it's typically going to be listed.

744
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:01,839
At the fact that this man is a literal giant

745
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:03,799
and they shorted him an inch.

746
00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: I can't wait I can't wait to go watch him.

747
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,839
Shout Hey, guys, remember we're excited to be here. Shout

748
00:33:09,839 --> 00:33:11,720
out toil Bears for having us here. Also shout out

749
00:33:11,759 --> 00:33:15,200
to our new friends over there at Boudro's Electrical. Okay, Look,

750
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:17,079
if you're in the market for a home generator, make

751
00:33:17,119 --> 00:33:19,720
sure the lights stay on when storms, hit, freezes, whatever

752
00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:23,160
the case may be. Make sure your family's protected. Uh

753
00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:25,160
let's say you're like an outdoors man. You've got a

754
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,960
fridge full of meat, all that sort of stuff. Right,

755
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:30,160
you make sure you never lose power again by getting

756
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,480
a generat dealer from Boudro's Electrical. And I want to

757
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:37,680
be clear, Okay, Budro' is a family run business, customer

758
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:43,000
first and right now. In the generator business, a lot

759
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:45,119
of these companies you're deal with, it's just private equity.

760
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,279
They're national companies. They don't give a damn bout your

761
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:50,559
number on a spreadsheet. They're not gonna do what Budro's

762
00:33:50,599 --> 00:33:53,279
does for you when you need them. My favorite story

763
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:56,400
keep telling you we got plenty of these, but during

764
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,799
frean scene, they actually drove out in the eye front scene,

765
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:01,240
we're cutting down tree us to get to a customer

766
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:03,839
to make sure that their generator was good to go,

767
00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:06,359
and then ask that the guys ain't doing that for you. Okay,

768
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:12,159
so keep the lights on. Go to Boudro's electrical dot com. Jake,

769
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,559
how about it? So, Blake Baker was the highest paid

770
00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:17,599
defensive coordinator in the country last year, Right two and a.

771
00:34:17,559 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 2: Half million dollars a year. Jim Knowles the three million

772
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,239
dollar man, the three point one million dollar man.

773
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,119
Speaker 3: So Tom Allen, former indion A head coach, leaves Penn State.

774
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,280
Earlier this office he was DC. He leaves to go

776
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,599
of go all in. You know, how do we take

777
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:39,840
the firt next step? How do we do something splashy?

778
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,880
Although I have questions about whether or not this move doesn't,

779
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,320
but still, you know, how do we take an extept?

780
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:50,000
They go and they hire Jim Knowles away from Ohio

781
00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:51,960
State just a couple of weeks after winning an ask

782
00:34:52,039 --> 00:34:54,199
Jim to two to three point one million dollars. Here's

783
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,480
my question, Jake, do you think that real quick?

784
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 2: Before you get into some other angles here?

785
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: U there had to be some sort of drama here, right,

786
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:05,840
had to like to Ohio State.

787
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: It's this not a money thing.

788
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,039
Speaker 3: Well honestly could have matched, it could have got very close,

789
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:11,519
Like it can't be just a pure money thing. Yeah,

790
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:13,440
and you're leaving for penn Stad. I mean, well, I

791
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,159
guess whatever the jobs job, but still he pints.

792
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:18,599
Speaker 5: It's a great job. But you you're at the Ohio State.

793
00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 2: You got Kale Downs coming back next year.

794
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you got I mean, you get Sunny's coming

795
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,320
back next year too. I mean, you got some real

796
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,480
dudes coming back next year. Are gonna be sure fire

797
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:31,840
first round picks. Uh, it had to happen, like something

798
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,519
had to happen, or like the work environment wasn't great.

799
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:37,239
And I hate to like read into body language because

800
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,960
you never know what media days, but for the National

801
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:42,639
Championship media day, I was interviewing Jim Knowles and he

802
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:45,280
gave great answers, but man, he was his body language tea.

803
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,199
Speaker 2: He was slouched over, his elbows.

804
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 5: Were kind of at his knees, and he's just sitting

805
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,000
there and he's just like looking ahead and giving answers.

806
00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:54,239
And I remember telling EGM, like, man, that looks weird,

807
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,719
like he's exhausted. But maybe it wasn't him being exhausted.

808
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,639
Maybe it was him, Like, man, I'm ready.

809
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 3: My head canon is I like I like to like

810
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,559
think that, like Chip Kelly came in and then Ryan

811
00:36:05,639 --> 00:36:08,559
Day started eating Chip like his favorite son, and all

812
00:36:08,559 --> 00:36:10,360
of a sudden, Jim's left out in the woods and

813
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,079
he's like, hey, Jim, hey, we need to do some

814
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:15,920
portal work, you know, make some calls, raise somebody.

815
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: Me and Chip are going golfing. Well you know what

816
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:20,320
you joke. But there is some of that.

817
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 5: I mean, Chip Kelly coached Ryan Day at New Hampshire,

818
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:26,320
all right, and then Ryan Day, Ryan Day was his

819
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,960
quarterback coach and uh you know in the NFL at

820
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,920
Philly and at uh San Francisco, right, and then obviously

821
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
you know, Chip hires.

822
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,559
Speaker 2: Ryan so like they're boys.

823
00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, like they've been together since college for Ryan Day,

824
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,880
and so yeah, I'm sure there's some of that too,

825
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,320
anything anything that was left over and went to the

826
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,079
offensive side.

827
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 3: Of the Yeah, exactly right, exactly right. Uh Okay, So

828
00:36:48,159 --> 00:36:51,280
how about this then, who who do you think they like?

829
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,280
Give me a big name? Who are the big names?

830
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,800
Because because right now you have Ohio State, Oklahoma and

831
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,159
Notre Dame who all don't have defensive court. And with

832
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,480
this Noles contract, the price just got raised. You gotta

833
00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:08,480
imagine a high state's gonna want to do something splashy. Uh,

834
00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:11,199
Like the splashiest would be like a Glenn Schuman, Right.

835
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,079
I don't think there's any way he leaves Kirby and

836
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:15,400
Georgia or something, But like that's there. Are there any

837
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,000
other names kind of that caliber level out there that

838
00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:19,119
you're that you're thinking of?

839
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,159
Speaker 2: What about Jim Leonard? I know, and I know Jim's

840
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,000
Jim Leonard.

841
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,519
Speaker 5: He was like he was in the NFL kind of

842
00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:29,039
has an analyst and he was the.

843
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:32,119
Speaker 3: Hot name and then he never ended up really catching on,

844
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,440
but he never did a bad job.

845
00:37:33,559 --> 00:37:36,199
Speaker 2: So it's weird. And I know John's teammates with Jim.

846
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 5: Jim's an awesome dude, the best football mind that defensively

847
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,840
that I was around in my NFL career. So Jim,

848
00:37:43,039 --> 00:37:46,159
Jim's out there, and so I think that, you know, honestly.

849
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 3: In Rabbitport saying that he's going to remain an offensive

850
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,199
assistant for the Denver Broncos, it's a personal choice.

851
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:54,559
Speaker 2: He's trying to get the Jim Eldon. He ain't trying

852
00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:55,639
to get Anowledge man.

853
00:37:55,559 --> 00:37:58,079
Speaker 5: And look, and Jim played a long time played for

854
00:37:58,159 --> 00:38:01,840
Denver obviously, and so that's Jim telling you I'm good. Yeah,

855
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:04,440
I don't want the problems of college football. So if

856
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,400
he said that already, then yesterday, okay, he wants to

857
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,360
be in the NFL.

858
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.

859
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 5: So that was one of the names that I kind

860
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,559
of thought of. But you're right, you lose to Jim Knowles.

861
00:38:16,639 --> 00:38:17,760
Who you're gonna go get.

862
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean you got money.

863
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 5: I mean, because you're not gonna albid Texas. I mean,

864
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:27,159
you're not going to Georgia. Feels like you're not going

865
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,760
to outbid Georgia. I'm trying to think of some of

866
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,079
the other top defenses in the country. I just I

867
00:38:32,079 --> 00:38:33,840
don't know that you're going to get the guy that

868
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:34,760
Jim Knowles was.

869
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,679
Speaker 2: And remember they I don't want to say overpaid.

870
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,639
Speaker 5: That feels disrespectful, but they kind of did for Jim

871
00:38:40,679 --> 00:38:43,639
Knowles to leave Oklahoma State because they wanted him, Like

872
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,840
they went above market value because they had a defensive issue.

873
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,679
They were scoring all his points, but they couldn't stop anybody.

874
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,559
Speaker 3: It's just like ls, you go to above market value

875
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:55,159
for Baker last year. Now Penn State do it well?

876
00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:56,880
I mean maybe it does mark value when you win

877
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,360
the Natty, But either way some fascinating. I'm very interest

878
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,480
and see the domino effect. All kicked off by Tom Allen.

Put them in reverse, park him to use a parking break.

887

using a parking break when you don't need it. Why

888
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,760

912
00:40:54,039 --> 00:40:57,360
So I said, we're gonna do a new Hunt Palmers series,

913
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:01,280
and that is because on our wonderful website that we

915
00:41:03,679 --> 00:41:08,199
Louisiana sports news Louisiana Sports dot Net. Wake up, babe,

916
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:10,639
there's a new Hunt Palmer series. Okay, our portal player

917
00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:15,079
probab profiles are done and now it's time for an

918
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,880
LSU Baseball position preview series as Hunt is going to

919
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,960
break things down position by position, and I love this

920
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,280
even more than the portal for multiple reasons. First off,

921
00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:33,559
there's so much more turnover in baseball, right that, like

922
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:35,599
every single year is like meeting a new.

923
00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: Cast of characters.

924
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 3: We're right here on the edge of another season, and

925
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,079
so these are gonna give you the little water cooler

926
00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:44,960
names and kind of the base facts of what you

927
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:46,960
need to know and what you need to be interested

928
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,719
in going into the season. And we start Jake with

929
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,000
I would argue probably the most remade position group on

930
00:41:53,039 --> 00:41:57,280
the entire team and that is catcher. I mean, think

931
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,880
about it, Malaso, Travinsky, Bread, Neil all gone, the guys

932
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,119
that have started what every game for the last two

933
00:42:05,199 --> 00:42:08,400
years for the Tigers. You have three trancers and a

934
00:42:08,519 --> 00:42:13,000
and a and a stud freshman that are replacing them.

935
00:42:13,079 --> 00:42:15,679
So it's a I mean, can you think of any again,

936
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,639
any position or like any position on the team that

937
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,519
is more brand new than catcher.

938
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,199
Speaker 5: I mean it feels like they have so many options too,

939
00:42:24,679 --> 00:42:26,840
And you're right, like, I think the thing about the

940
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,239
catcher position and having so many different options as you

941
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,639
lay them out and you kind of look at it,

942
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,559
who's it going to be one? But also you just

943
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:38,760
you knew for so long it was you know, Travinsky

944
00:42:39,039 --> 00:42:42,679
and Malaso and even Neil, like it was names that

945
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,760
you knew and they were there for such a long time,

946
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,360
and so like you're completely restarting at that position as well,

947
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,880
like it's gonna be somebody new, and you know anytime

948
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,280
you have like a championship run too, and and certainly

949
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,039
like Travinsky what he did in that championship season and

950
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,400
how he came on late in the season, like it's

951
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,719
going to be remembered for a long time.

952
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 2: It's going to kind of boost that position up.

953
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,159
Speaker 5: And so it is exciting though that you get some

954
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:06,440
new blood, some new faces in there, and also think

955
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,239
that it's not you've got four guys trying to compete

956
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,320
for a spot because there's nobody that's going to take

957
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,599
the job. It feels like, and hunt kild tell me

958
00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:15,320
if I'm wrong. It feels like there's four guys that

959
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,920
kind of deserve the job, and they're looking for the

960
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,960
best of that core group that's really playing well, and

961
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,039
they all deserve.

962
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,679
Speaker 2: The job, but like the cream kind of rises to

963
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,039
the top.

964
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 5: And not like ah Man, we got four guys, nobody's

965
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,599
really won the job, and we're just kind of settle

966
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:29,920
for who's the best of this group.

967
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 3: So right now they got Louis her Nandez Indiana State Transfer.

968
00:43:33,079 --> 00:43:34,719
This is the guy that hit twenty three home run

969
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,559
seventy six ribis last year, eleven hundred at ops, so

970
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,039
very productive bat but has not caught in two years. Defensively,

971
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,159
there's Blaze Priester. Who how about Blaze's journey Jake, he

972
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,119
starts at LSU, then he goes to Meridian Community College.

973
00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:55,039
Now he's back at LSU. So Blaze obviously desperate to

974
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:57,599
catch on with the Tigers. I mean, the man wants it.

975
00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:01,400
Then you got this. This is the superstar freshman, right

976
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,320
the guy that you think long term is going to

977
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,039
be the guy. And then some I apologize in the

978
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:10,039
last name Caid. I think it might be Aaron Beid.

979
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,199
I say a Rambade in my head. I know I'll

980
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:14,280
figure it out. We'll just call him.

981
00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:15,159
Speaker 2: Kid for now.

982
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: But six' three five star could have gone, pro comes

983
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,119
to college hit three sixty in the. Fall according TO. J,

984
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,440
johnson but in a theme needs some defensive work and

985
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,719
then the fourth Names. Eddie i'm in the fourth transfer

986
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,199
From dayton right. Now though coming out of, Fall Jay

987
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:41,960
johnson San fernandez had a slight edge On cad but

988
00:44:42,039 --> 00:44:45,719
that Maybe priester was the best bet in the. Fall

989
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,679
BUT i think the overall theme is a lot of

990
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,320
hitting in this, group but the defense is a question,

991
