1
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,519
Speaker 1: We come, come on the down. Turn it a cloud

2
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:15,519
team mob with the fire, laundry with a vial.

3
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,679
Speaker 2: Jays got the inside, they take, got the smile.

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Born is one four. I'm going welcome into our number

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,600
two of a Monday edition of Off the Bench. Taylor

6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,759
Sharper with you, the man with the smile, as the

7
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,520
intro music would say, Okay, look, we were very LSU

8
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,840
heavy and hour number one, I mean we covered baseball, softball,

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,759
We talked about our weekend in my awful golf game,

10
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,759
I broke down five possible breakout players for LSU in

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,520
spring practice. Right now, I want to shift focus to

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,520
the New Orleans Saints because they got a lot going on.

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,280
They just hired a new head coach, they hired some

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,439
new coordinators, and the NFL Draft is right around the corner.

15
00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:58,520
For that, I want to bring in Grant Sature, a

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,920
reporter for Crescent City Sports, to Grant, what's going on

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,280
this morning?

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: Man?

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,879
Speaker 4: You know it's been I've been doing pretty good. I'm

20
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:09,040
recovering from Martin Garo weekend of course here in New Orleans,

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,840
but also more so, my allergies came back, so I

22
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:15,480
was really battling more of that than they hang over

23
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:17,480
for Marti Garral. But I'm doing great this morning.

24
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:19,359
Speaker 3: How many how many praise did we hit this weekend?

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 4: I was in Demian and that was the Boxers. I

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,040
actually thought afterway through Demien for some reason, that's how

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,359
That's how tired it was from the allergies. Man, it

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:28,920
was killing me.

29
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: Did I hear you? I had?

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: I had a wedding all Saturday. It was Uh, it

31
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:35,120
was quite the time. Grant. Let's dive in right now

32
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:38,599
to the New Orleans Saints. Look, obviously they have hired

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,079
Kellen Moore and since then he has hired his offensive

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,079
and defensive coordinators. You got Doug nld Smeyer on the

35
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:46,760
offensive side of things, you got Brandon Staley on the defense.

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Just kind of surface level, like, what are your thoughts

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,760
on this coordinator?

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Hires well.

39
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:58,359
Speaker 4: For starters, you know, I think for Doug nutsmy somebody

40
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:01,159
that has worked with Kellen Moore at every stop since

41
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:05,120
twenty eighteen. He's there with Kella Moore with the Cowboys,

42
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,840
with Kelling Moore with the Chargers, and of course he

43
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,639
was with calling more with the Eagles, So it made

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,199
sense why he was the guy to go with the Dolphins.

45
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,719
Cordinertor he's not really calling the places, more there to

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000
kind of help with game planning and all, just you know,

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,120
be a coach. Conf kelling Moore for Brandon Daily. Brandon

48
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:26,360
Daley was the head coach of the Chargers in twenty

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,039
twenty three, where Kellen Moore was dopics coordinator, so of

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
course they have some sort of relationship. And on top

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,080
of that, he runs with three four and is a

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,240
big Grantio guy as someone that Kellen Moore worked with

53
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:43,000
when he was with the Eagles. But you know, the

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,879
only question, the only question I have about Brandon Daily

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,759
is what we see the Brandon's stay defense from twenty

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,479
twenty when the Rams had the number one defense, or

57
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,680
what we see the Brandon's daily defense when he was

58
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:58,840
the headcarch of the Chargers where they were no better

59
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,280
than twenty throughout his three years with the Charge. Now,

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,719
that may have to do with him taking on more

61
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,400
responsibilities because he was the head coach, but we will

62
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:12,479
see because right now in New Orleans heads apparently heads

63
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,919
are gonna roll right now because I think everyone wants

64
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,039
Vicky Williams.

65
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,319
Speaker 1: Cause speaking of Mickey Loomis being in the headlines, like,

66
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,960
you know, he came out last week and was saying, look,

67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,479
the Saints is playing right now, at least for the moment,

68
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:28,400
it is to stick with Derek Carr this season at quarterback.

69
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: Is that the right move or the wrong move?

70
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 4: You know, that's a great question, Taylor. It's the right

71
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:38,599
move and the wrong move at the same time, as

72
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:40,639
you know what I'm saying, Like, I mean, the Saints

73
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,840
dug themselves a hole, but giving a lucrative, four year,

74
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,360
one hundred and fifty million dollar deal with the Note Trey, cause,

75
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:51,560
like guys like Derek Carr usually don't get that. Derek Carr,

76
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
I mean, he's been a decent quarterback who has his

77
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,319
entire time with the NFL. He's a three or four

78
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,800
time Pro Bowler, but he's not somebody that's gonna take

79
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,479
you to the next level. And that's I feel like

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,759
the disconnect between a lot of people that cover or

81
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,800
are fans of the Saints and then with the front office.

82
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,439
The front office thinks they're one player way from winning

83
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,560
a like football game. However, they're more like twenty one

84
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:18,759
players from winning a lot of football games. And I

85
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,600
feel like that's the disconnect that the Saints have with

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,399
everybody else that they seem to be one place where

87
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:29,079
everything's like rainbows and rainbow unicorns, while in the world

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,480
it seems like we're in Chernobyl in this sense, speaking of, you.

89
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: Know, the Saints quarterback situation. Look, obviously they mentioned Derek Carr.

90
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,199
A lot of people are like, hey, can you grab

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,079
a free agent? Can you grab somebody in the draft.

92
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,199
Spencer Rattler is a guy that a lot of Saints

93
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:47,879
fans have a lot of different opinions on. Some people

94
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:50,040
are like, oh, I loved what I saw from Spencer Ratler.

95
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,560
Some people are like, well, you know, I think Spencer

96
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:53,959
Rattler left a lot to be desired.

97
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:55,399
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on him? And like maybe his

98
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:56,560
future with this franchise.

99
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,759
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if these short term or the

100
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,160
long term. Manager. What I do know is that he

101
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,879
has a lot of talent, right he was the number

102
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,120
one player coming out of high school. I know he

103
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000
had a pretty inconsistent career in college with Oklahoma and

104
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,439
South Carolina, but the talent's undeniable, right, I mean. Tom

105
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:18,240
Pullasar went on The Rich Eigens Show and talked about

106
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,319
how a lot of NXF coaches thought Spencer Ratler was

107
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,199
extremely talented. Now there's a different between having talent in

108
00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:29,720
being a guy that will be winning games. Right, Tom

109
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,000
Brady was not the most talented guy in the world.

110
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:35,920
But Tom Brady was a competitor and he won a

111
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,759
large run the Marine as a quarterback for the Patriots.

112
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,240
I mean, people always saw Peyton Manning as the most

113
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,000
talented quarterback. But when it came down to winning games

114
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,560
and going to the playoffs and winning a championship, who

115
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,399
would you choose Tom Brady though? I mean so the

116
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:56,120
thing about Spencer Rattler is that he may not be

117
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,639
as good or even better than Derek Carr. But compared

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,319
to Derek Carr, one of the main Christmas about their cars,

119
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,920
He's not really that big of a competitors. He's not

120
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,439
a guy that's gonna challenge the teams or even make

121
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,160
his teammates better. We had not seen that throughout his

122
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,560
career in the NFL go even going back to the Raiders.

123
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:18,759
Speaker 1: Grant, so many people, you know, just outside of Derek Carr,

124
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:20,600
they're talking about they want to complete rebuild for the

125
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:22,519
New Orleans Saints. I for want them all for it,

126
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,000
but you know, you see the cap situation the Saints

127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,399
are in, and uh, one guy that's going to have

128
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:29,879
a big cap hit is Cam Jordan. Look, he's not

129
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,079
getting any younger. What are your thoughts on the Saints

130
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:33,680
potentially trading away Cam Jordan?

131
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:41,439
Speaker 4: You know, look, it's not even just Cam Dorton. I think, wait,

132
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:44,680
if you're the Saints, like you have to be in

133
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,040
rebuilt mote like you should have been in Rebuilt most

134
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,600
two years ago. And the fact that we're talking about

135
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,240
Kate trading Cam Jordan and might I know, as much

136
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,639
as people in New Orleans love Cam Dorton, I think

137
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,319
one of the worst moves that the Saints made it

138
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:05,639
with extincting Cam Jordan despite his play going off on

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,240
the down right, and now you have to do Now

140
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,839
you're in this horrible cast spaces wish where you're fifty

141
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:15,199
four million dollars over the cap and then you know,

142
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,800
and this was a lot talked about the Saints releasing

143
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,199
he's in Hill, but now they're apparently they're respining case mode.

144
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,920
So like when looking at the things, it's almost like

145
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:29,839
they're not trying to go into a recess. They're almost

146
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:33,000
trying to win now, which makes zero sense when you

147
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:36,160
have a new regime in place with Kellam Moore, but

148
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,279
you have the fourth oldest roster, and really at this

149
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:41,480
point you should do whatever you can to get under

150
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,120
the cap, whether it's restructured and contracts, whether it's trading players.

151
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,279
So if you treat Camp Jordan, it's not the end

152
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:50,240
of the world. But who's gonna take Cam Jordan right now,

153
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,600
who's thirty five years old, will be thirty six during

154
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,759
the season, and you know his play's going down. Was

155
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360
he used will he be used for? That's kind of

156
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:01,920
where the stats are at right now. All the players

157
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,240
they wanted straight away are older. Yeah, I got you,

158
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,800
go ahead.

159
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that about Cam because, like I

160
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,120
have that same thought about Taysom Hills. So many people

161
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,480
were mad saying, why are the Saints bringing back Taysom Hill? Grant,

162
00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:17,800
you got a thirty five year old gadget player who

163
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,759
fits your offense, not necessarily everybody else's who is had

164
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:24,759
multiple injuries in college. Now he's coming off of multiple

165
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:26,519
injuries in the NFL. I just don't know how much

166
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,720
you can get for a Taysom or a Cam Jordan

167
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,439
on the open.

168
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 4: Market, right exactly. I mean Taysom Hill's coming up of

169
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:36,840
Major nich too, right, so like and he's thirty five

170
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,120
years old. Like I know, right now he's probably thinking

171
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,639
about his post playing career. That's where Tastom Hill's in

172
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:45,960
his career. I mean he's an older player, not like

173
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:47,840
you may look at it here is like whoa, how

174
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,080
is you thirty five? Well he went to BYU. Of

175
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,720
course they take a tear Mormon missions and then they

176
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:55,840
come back and play college a lot of times, so

177
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,799
he's it was generally an older he was even the

178
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:00,960
older player in college. So right now after the stace,

179
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,679
there's no reason why to bring back to Hill if

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,799
you want to bring back a Taithan Mills player. In reality,

181
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,440
the Stations draft Tyler Warren. I know you guys probably

182
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,919
asked about the draft, but Tyler Warren with a phenomenal

183
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,240
tied end in college. But not only that, they used

184
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:18,559
them at a lot of walk at situations because he

185
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:19,840
was actually the high school quarter.

186
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,039
Speaker 1: You brought me right into the next question, Grant shifting

187
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,000
from guys that are on the current roster to guys

188
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,320
who could be the NFL draft coming up in April.

189
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,200
As far as round one, whether it's a specific player

190
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,639
or just a position group as a whole, what do

191
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,960
you think the Saint should do round one?

192
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: Well, I know Keller Moore as his introductory fresh conference

193
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:47,399
talk a lot about the trenches, right, So a lot

194
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:50,879
of people are thinking maybe they might drafted de Wiman,

195
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,639
which is reasonable because they do need another edge rusher

196
00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:58,240
because of course Cam Jordan is getting older. He might

197
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:02,440
be retiring after this year, so that's the possibility. And

198
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,960
now people were talking about the office line, but really,

199
00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:09,600
really the need for office line is the interior office lineman.

200
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,279
But there's really not that much top dotch interior office lineman.

201
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,879
They're more offensive tackles right now, I think the States

202
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:20,120
are comfortable's our office tackles at the moment, right despite

203
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,879
Trevor Penny's struggle. If I'm the State, I would drop

204
00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:27,000
to pet sketch, whether that whether that be a receiver

205
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,240
or Tina. Of course a receiver you have Tittoror and McMillan.

206
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:32,840
I'm pretty sure Lucid Burdon might be somebody that the

207
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:36,879
Saints will be interested in as well, because you know,

208
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:39,840
he's a very good receiver at Missourian Suppost team. Or

209
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:43,600
will probably be a top ten pick, but both those

210
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,200
guys might go earlier than number nine. Right tedder Rob mcmiller.

211
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,399
I've seen some knock Josh, we might go in the

212
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,159
top five recently. So tedor Ro mcmill six ten pounds,

213
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,600
you will not only provide a third option to pass

214
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,960
the game, which you desperately need giving the injuries you

215
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,840
had last year, he's also a bigger receiver. Like he's said,

216
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:04,519
he's six to four, twoach and ten pounds. Nobody on

217
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,519
the scenes has that type of size, so you you

218
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,159
probably need a guy like him, but if you, but

219
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:15,840
I think really the Saints will draft like the Tyler Ward.

220
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:19,120
Tyler Ward not only is a great pass catcher, but

221
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,320
who also provide support on the edges. Right, you can

222
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,399
help out Crevin Pennie and telhu'sa uagam with blocking on

223
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,600
the edge. But like I said, he's also has been

224
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,720
used as a wildcat quarterback, So you know, if you're

225
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,840
trying to bring in somebody like that in like short

226
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:37,600
yard situations, Tyler Warren will be perfect for that. I

227
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,919
know there's still some questions about his blocking ability, but

228
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,320
Tyler Ward is a top fifteen pick for reasons right.

229
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:47,399
He's an extremely gifted athlete and a great pass catcher

230
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:49,600
and really was one of the reasons why Penn State

231
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:51,240
made it as far as it did in the playoffs.

232
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Great sasure joining us right now reporter for cresents any

233
00:11:55,159 --> 00:11:57,559
sports grant. Let's get away from the round one and

234
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,919
I agree with everything you said as far as quarterback. Obviously,

235
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,799
the Saints are not going to grab somebody in the

236
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:04,840
first couple of rounds. But are there any late round

237
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,879
qbs you like?

238
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, for stars, I think Jackson dar is

239
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,159
somebody that the States to look at. I think he's

240
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:15,840
probably to be more of a Day two pick. However,

241
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,159
you know, I've been hearing a lost of a lot

242
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,399
of people pretty Jackson Star so he can talk the

243
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840
move the day. I don't know yet. I mean, we

244
00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:26,600
won't know more until we're pretty much until after the

245
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:29,200
Pro Days when he's Obviously you have the combine this

246
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,000
past week, and then of course you had Pro Day's

247
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,559
coming up, so a lot more could be coming out.

248
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:37,159
We thought Brian Thomas be a borderline first round pick

249
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,799
to being a BONAFI first round pick due to Combine

250
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,440
and Pro Day. Uh, but you know, I think the

251
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:45,000
Jackson Dar, somebody the Saints will probably look at. I

252
00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:46,879
think the Saints will also look at a guy like

253
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,960
Cal mcford, a guy who is a competitor. Right, Remember

254
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:53,720
he got uh he got you know, sent away from

255
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,360
Ohio State for Will Howard, which is another guy I

256
00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:58,240
think the Saints will look at as well. But kle

257
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:02,080
McCord went to Syracuse the step bulking down and you

258
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,279
know and just like oh whatever, he bawled out of Syracuse,

259
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,000
right he was the reason why they went eight and

260
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:10,200
full get a phenomenal year at Syracuse, throwing for over

261
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,399
four thousand yards. I know he has a little bit

262
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,840
of an interception problem, but his competitor competitive nature is there,

263
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,519
and it's think that somebody at the Saints des need

264
00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:21,919
right now when you know, right now it just seems

265
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:23,919
like the Saints are you know, on a down with

266
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:26,799
Borrow and it have been to the past three years.

267
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,320
But all speaking of Will Howard, that's the wady I

268
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,000
think the Saints kid probably look We'll probably look at

269
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,519
in the late rounds as well. He had a I mean,

270
00:13:34,519 --> 00:13:36,799
he was a three four year start at Kansas State,

271
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,039
goes to Ohio State, has a great year and really

272
00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:42,840
showed his ability in the playoffs when the Buck guys

273
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,440
named in him the most, winning the National Championship in

274
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,080
the process.

275
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: Great, before I let you go, not only are you

276
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,559
with presidents of the sport, you cover a lot for

277
00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:52,360
l O Shoe as well. I see you out there

278
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,600
at all the fall practices. I'll probably do the same

279
00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:57,600
this coming year. Look spring practice coming up for LSU.

280
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,799
But Bo Davis leaving as a defensive line coach and

281
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:02,799
going to the New Orleans Saints.

282
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: What does that mean for the Saints? What does that

283
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:05,639
mean for the Tigers?

284
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: Well, that is definitely LSU's biggest loss going in this

285
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,799
frame and is definitely the saints biggest gain going into

286
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,919
the offseason. Of course, Bo Davis is arguably the best

287
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,080
teams to line coach in football period, regardless to the level.

288
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:26,519
He's a guy that knowledge coach at the college level

289
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:29,600
was a long time saving assistance for a very long time.

290
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,399
But he's also guy who's coach in the NFL. For him,

291
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,480
I think about five or six years, most recently with

292
00:14:34,559 --> 00:14:37,600
the Detroit Lions from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty before

293
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,480
accepting the same job with Texas, and I saw a

294
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:46,080
lot of Twitter debates about Bo Davis with LSU fans

295
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,519
the States fans. That's something I still haven't figured out

296
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,240
yet because I'm a not only am I a long

297
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:54,360
time Saints fan of course being from the Worlds, but

298
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,360
also went to LSU, So I never really got the

299
00:14:57,399 --> 00:15:01,639
fuss between LSU and the same Aints. But what I

300
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:04,320
do know is that Boa Davis, it just seems like

301
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:06,840
Bo Davis is ready got to college, right with all

302
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,879
the changes and everything like that, and when the Saints

303
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,600
shop opened up, I mean it was kind of like, oh,

304
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:15,799
I'm gonna take it. You know, he's a grown man.

305
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:19,120
He made a grown man decision, and you know, he

306
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,799
still loved els who went to l He played to LSU.

307
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,320
Obviously he coached the LSU. But I think he just

308
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:26,600
probably want to get back to the NFL where you

309
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:29,279
don't have to, you know, deal with you know, recruiting

310
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,039
and n al how much you paid this guy and

311
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,200
of course the transfer portal, and you might not have

312
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:36,440
the same guys he's in every year. Because of those

313
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,080
two factors, I just think he's just had enough of them.

314
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,159
He's an older coach. People have to remember, he's fifty

315
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,720
four fifty five years old, which is pretty old for

316
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,840
a coach, especially at the college level.

317
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Grant Sash, a reporter for Crescent City Sports. Grant, thanks

318
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,080
for hopping on with us today.

319
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,679
Speaker 4: Man, no problem, Thank you for having me on DAYLS.

320
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely all right.

321
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Look, we're gonna take a quick time out when we

322
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600
get back a little bit. More Saints coming up here

323
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,000
on the other side, on off the bench, off the

324
00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:06,679
bench right.

325
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 5: Go to pelicanroof dot compelicanroof dot com one of just

326
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,480
the coolest tools that you will see out there right

327
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,600
there on the homepage of the website. What will my

328
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,440
roof cost? Well, you put it in right there, your address,

329
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:23,080
it's going to pull it up on the map and

330
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,080
it's going to frame your home and give you an

331
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,480
estimate right there, like on the spot of how much

332
00:16:29,559 --> 00:16:33,519
they estimate your roof replacement to be. Never really seen

333
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240

344
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: All right, look, tease did a little bit going in

345
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,000
to break. I want to mention a quick Saints segment

346
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:15,319
here because Mickey Loomis early last week said the Saints

347
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,920
plan is to roll with Derek Carr, despite Loomas saying

348
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,279
that the media did something very smart. They did not

349
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,119
take Mickey Loomis at his word. That's just like blanket

350
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,519
advice across the board. If you do that, you're right

351
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,799
more times than not. So despite Loomas saying they're rolling

352
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:37,359
with Derek Carr, Justin Fields is continually continuously being linked

353
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,880
to the New Orleans Saints. Multiple articles came out this

354
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,960
weekend saying that the Saints could be one of the

355
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,079
top fits for Justin Fields, and the reason they mention

356
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,119
it is because of the hiring of Kellen Moore. I

357
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,400
am here to tell you that I think this is

358
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,000
an awful idea. If it's a quarterback you want to

359
00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:59,279
win with if you want to tank, which I don't

360
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:01,559
think the Saints do. We were just talking with Grant.

361
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:04,200
They're still restructuring salaries. They still seem like they're in

362
00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:05,960
win now mode even though they don't have the roster

363
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:08,720
to do it. But that's just perpetually kind of what

364
00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:12,839
the New Orleans Saints do. Sure, Kellen Moore had success

365
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,240
with Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, which is why this

366
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:18,839
whole conversation started to begin with, Right, Jalen Hurts is

367
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,720
a very good runner. Justin Fields is a very good runner.

368
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,880
So he wins the Super Bowl with Saquon Barkley and

369
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,119
Jalen Hurts. Can't he do it with Justin Fields and

370
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,480
Alvin Kamara. No, And here's why Justin Fields is not

371
00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:38,440
Jalen Hurts. In my opinion, Jalen Hurts is a borderline

372
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,920
top five quarterback in this league, which as a Cowboys fan,

373
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,000
that is super tough for me to say, but I mean,

374
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,240
reality is what it is.

375
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: What makes Jalen Hurts so good.

376
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,599
Speaker 1: Look, he's obviously improved drastically as a passer since he's

377
00:18:50,599 --> 00:18:52,960
been in the NFL. He was kind of a liability

378
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,200
at times in that area in college, he's gotten so

379
00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:58,960
much better at it. But what makes Jalen Hurts so good, Look,

380
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,640
it's not his improved ability as a passer, it's look,

381
00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:04,519
he has a great ability to run. Jalen Hurts does

382
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:08,079
not turn the football over. And everyone is going to

383
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,400
point to this past season when Justin Field started six games. Look,

384
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,640
he started six games, they went three and three with him.

385
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:20,319
He had five passing touchdowns, only one interception. And when

386
00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:21,400
you look at that off the top of your head,

387
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,640
you're gonna go, oh, hey, well, Justin Field stopped his

388
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,640
turnover issues. Bring him in with Kellen Moore, who did

389
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,359
good things with Jalen Hurts, who also limits his turnovers.

390
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,559
That seems like a match made in heaven. A turnovers,

391
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:38,160
A turnover doesn't have to be an interception. In the

392
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:41,240
four years that Justin Fields has been in the NFL,

393
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,160
he has forty four fumbles forty four including six last year.

394
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,400
So you could say, okay, well, he threw one interception

395
00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:54,920
in six games, hit six fumbles in six games. Now

396
00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:57,880
did he lose all forty four of those fumbles? No,

397
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,119
nobody's gonna lose all forty four of their fumbles, But

398
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,839
to me, it doesn't really matter. A fumble kills the

399
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:06,799
play you drop the ball, that play is dead right

400
00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:08,279
there where you drop that ball because you got to

401
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,519
jump back on it. So I don't really care whether

402
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,240
he lost the fumble or not. It's either at worst,

403
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,519
it's a turnover. At best, you get it back and

404
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:18,039
you kill that play. Most of the time, as a quarterback,

405
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:20,240
you're now behind the chains because you lost the yardage

406
00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:26,480
on that fumble. Some of these articles are also pointing

407
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:29,440
out the Saints are not a great second chance spot

408
00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:33,920
or not a great landing spot for second chance qbs due.

409
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: To the roster.

410
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,279
Speaker 1: Yeah no, kid, But let's take Kellen Moore to consideration.

411
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:42,400
Kellen Moore has been the offensive coordinator the Dallas Cowboys,

412
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:48,440
the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Dak Prescott,

413
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,640
Justin Herbert Jalen Hurts, three very different qbs. That's kind

414
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,279
of the guy that can do a little bit of both.

415
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:59,400
Hurts is known as the runner Herbert pretty much your

416
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:05,000
typical true additional drop back pocket passer. Kellen moorees had

417
00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:08,200
success with all three of those guys as his starting quarterbacks,

418
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,880
and he's done it with three different style qbs. That

419
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,960
tells me the Kellen Moore's offense is very QB friendly.

420
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:17,759
The Kellen Moore knows how to adjust and call plays

421
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:20,559
the work to the strengths of his quarterback. Because what

422
00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:23,000
do you hear all the time, Well, this coordinator is

423
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:25,640
trying to get his quarterback to fit his system. No, no, no, no,

424
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,519
You get your system to fit your quarterback. That is

425
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:32,359
what Kellen Moore is excellent at. When you can say, okay, well,

426
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,799
the Saints have never been good at second chance QB's.

427
00:21:36,559 --> 00:21:39,720
They weren't under Dennis Allen. But Sean Payton did this

428
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,279
multiple times. When Breeze was getting hurt late in his career,

429
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:46,759
he put Teddy Bridgewater in there. Teddy Bridgewater went four

430
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:48,640
and one as a starter and it helped the Saints

431
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,000
make the playoffs that year. Then, even post Breeze, a

432
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,759
little bit before Peyton left, people may not remember this,

433
00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:58,839
Taysom Hill is six and two as a starting quarterback

434
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,200
in New Orleans. Everyone thought it was going to be

435
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:04,039
Jameis Winston. When Drew Brees went down, Peyton said he

436
00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:06,039
was rolling with Taysom Hill. Taysom, He'll go six and two.

437
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,119
I would take that all day. And then even with

438
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,119
Jamis Winston, he was efficient. He only had thrown two

439
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,559
interceptions when he was starting. Now his is a little

440
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:20,000
bit different because I personally believe Sean Payton was scared

441
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:22,279
to let Jameis Winston throw the football, and rightfully so,

442
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,759
because that was right after Jamis Winston was coming off

443
00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:31,880
his thirty interception season. He was twenty eighth in the

444
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,519
NFL in terms of pass attempts per game. So Peyton

445
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:37,799
really wasn't letting him throw the football. But he still

446
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:39,640
played through the strength of his team. He leaned on

447
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,839
the running game. He had an elite defense that year

448
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,920
with Dennis Allen as the defensive coordinator, and he put

449
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,559
Jamis in there and said, hey, don't turn the ball over,

450
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,440
don't make mistakes.

451
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: We'll win this game.

452
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,839
Speaker 1: Good coaches find a way to make different quarterbacks work

453
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,000
in their offense. He saw it with Peyton, Breeze Bridgewater,

454
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,039
Taysom Hill. Jameis Winston has done it. Now It's been

455
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:03,759
at three different stops, but with three different quarterbacks. Dak

456
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:07,640
Prescott justin Herbert Jalen hurts, why can't he do that again?

457
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,519
And I get it. The Saints' roster is not great.

458
00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:12,079
I understand that, but they still have an opportunity to

459
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:14,079
turn things around at least a little bit in the

460
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,480
NFL Draft. Now, do I have confidence they're going to

461
00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:19,279
do that? Not if Mickey Loomis is solely in charge,

462
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:22,799
depending on how much influence Kellen.

463
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: Moore has on draft day? Sure, why not?

464
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Because I trust Kellen Moore's ability to put together a

465
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,720
good offense and put together a system that helps his

466
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:34,640
quarterback because he's done it everywhere and he's spent so

467
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,720
all this talk about h well, if you're a second

468
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:41,240
chance quarterback, I mean, look, Justin Fields is listed, Sam

469
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:45,480
Darnold's listed, Daniel Jones is listed. The Saints have not

470
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:47,839
done it in recent years, but that was with Dennis Allen,

471
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:50,000
who was an awful head coach, who is in over

472
00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:52,480
his head, who had no idea what he was doing. Sure,

473
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:54,720
Kellen Moore is a first time head coach, but if

474
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,680
he runs his team the way he runs his offense,

475
00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:59,680
he's going to be just fine because he's done it

476
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,400
inultiple spots with multiple different styles of quarterbacks. Cowboys didn't

477
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,720
have a ton around. I mean, their roster was better

478
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:09,240
than the Saints, but they didn't have a ton around Dak,

479
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,279
at least not outside Ceedee Lamb. You look at the

480
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,519
Chargers who did Justin Herbert at he had Keenan Allen

481
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,000
had an aging Austin Eckeler. His offensive line wasn't great.

482
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,680
Kellen Moore still made it work. Sure, the Eagles rosters stacked,

483
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,400
I get it. Jalen Hurt, Saquon Barkley, DeVante Smith, A J. Brown,

484
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,400
Dallas Goddard. I understand that. But the two previous spots,

485
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,039
I wouldn't call them stacked rosters. The Cowboys had a

486
00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:37,559
good roster and I actually the Chargers had a below

487
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:43,039
average roster the Kellen Moore made look good. I wasn't

488
00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:44,920
a fan of Kellen Moore when he first came to Dallas,

489
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:47,880
but that was his first coordinating job. When you go

490
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,680
look at what the shape of the Dallas Cowboys are

491
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,039
in now compared to where Kellen Moore left, maybe I

492
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,400
was wrong. Maybe it was Dak, Maybe it was the Cowboys,

493
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,279
Maybe it wasn't. Kellen Moore quite as much because he

494
00:24:58,319 --> 00:24:59,920
did a heck of a job with the Chargers, which

495
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,440
is why he was only there for a short period

496
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,039
of time. And he just won the Super Bowl with

497
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,839
one of the most efficient offenses we've seen in recent years.

498
00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:10,079
So I don't think this was a Saints issue. I

499
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:13,039
think this was a Dennis Allen issue. Peyton had no

500
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:16,119
problem doing it. I have no reason to believe yet

501
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,359
that Kellen Moore can't do it. I need to see it,

502
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,400
but he's done it so far in his career. Also,

503
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,039
before we go to break, it has been reported that

504
00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:30,599
the Saints are expected to lose defensive end Chase Young

505
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,440
in free agency.

506
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,839
Speaker 3: I'm okay with this.

507
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: Look. We were just talking to Grant about Cam Jordan

508
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:40,519
getting older. His production may not be quite what his

509
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:44,279
contract is worth. At this point, Chase Jong is a

510
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:47,000
big name. I think Chase Young is going to command

511
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,640
a lot of money on the open market. Someone's going

512
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,920
to overpay for him. Make sure it's not you. Look,

513
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,759
I think Chase Young had a solid season with New

514
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,359
Orleans thirty one total tackles, five and a half sacks,

515
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,079
eight tackles for a loss, twenty one QB hits. He

516
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,480
was good. You played in all seventeen games. That was

517
00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:08,359
a concern that are the injuries going to catch up

518
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,079
with him? He was healthy for the most part, but

519
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,599
he wasn't outstanding. He was okay. I think you can

520
00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:16,119
get a guy in the draft. I think this is

521
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,680
a very deep draft. I get it. Everyone's going to

522
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,000
talk about Abdul Carter and Mike Green in the first round.

523
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: I get all that.

524
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer is projected late second, early third round right

525
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,039
now out of Ohio State. Braydon Swinson from Loshoes going

526
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:32,680
to be a Day two, day three pick. There are

527
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,599
a ton of guys out there in this draft that

528
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,400
can help you that you can get on rookie deals,

529
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,559
because let's not forget you're still in cap Hill. I

530
00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:43,640
am okay with letting Chase Young walk. I know a

531
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,039
lot of people have a lot of different opinions about that. Again,

532
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,599
Chase Young was good. Somebody's gonna overpay for him. If

533
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:51,400
you're the Saints, you literally cannot afford to overpay for him.

534
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,319
You're already trying to cut down contracts. Don't overpay for

535
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,319
somebody else just because you're blinded by some late season success.

536
00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:01,079
Move on from Chase Young, rebuild that position in the draft.

537
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,920
It's a good draft for defensive ends. It's a deep

538
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000
draft for defensive ends.

539
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: Go get one.

540
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't even have to be in the first round.

541
00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:09,559
There's going to be quality guys, as I just mentioned, second, third,

542
00:27:09,599 --> 00:27:11,319
fourth round, you'll be fine.

543
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 3: Move on from that. I'm good with it one.

544
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:14,839
Speaker 4: All right.

545
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: Look, we're gonna take a quick time out when we

546
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:21,200
get back. A couple of big time NFL storylines. One

547
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:24,039
involves Jaden Daniels in the Washington Commanders and the other

548
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,599
a New York team but not the Jets of the Giants. However,

549
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,960
Aaron Rodgers still involved. We'll get to that on the

550
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,519
other side here on off the Bench, Off the Bench.

551

563
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,519
and that's not the case over at all Star t

564

571
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: A lot of Saints talk. The last two segments, we

572
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,519
had Grant Sager hop on with us. We talked a

573
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:43,240
little Saints offseason, Saints drafting. The last segment, Justin Field's

574
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:46,000
continuously linked to the New Orleans Saints. I explained why

575
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:49,240
that I believe is a very bad idea. Right now,

576
00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:54,680
I want to mention two more quick NFL topics. Deebo

577
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:57,319
Samuel has finally found a home. He was one of

578
00:28:57,359 --> 00:29:00,720
the bigger names to hit the trading ball was announced

579
00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:03,400
about two three weeks ago that the forty nine ers

580
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,359
were allowing him to seek a trade. He has found

581
00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:09,039
a new home and it's a big one for anybody

582
00:29:09,079 --> 00:29:14,680
who's an LSU fan. Deebo Samuel has been traded to

583
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,920
the Washington Commanders, and all Washington had to give up

584
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:22,480
was a fifth round pick. I know everybody feels a

585
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,960
certain way about Deebo Samuel. I think this is huge,

586
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,039
and I think it's big for Jayden Daniels. Not only

587
00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:33,880
does it give Jayden another weapon, it also adds versatility

588
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,400
to an offense that was already really versatile a year ago.

589
00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: Look at what Daniels has.

590
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: Terry mclaurin's stud Terry mclaaran is a top fifteen to

591
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,759
twenty wide receiver in this league, no question about it.

592
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:50,400
He has an aging Austin Eckler. Running back Brian Robinson

593
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,920
Junior has been in and out of the lineup, no problem.

594
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Deebo Samuel can slide in there and play running back.

595
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:58,240
He did it multiple times out in San fran when

596
00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:01,000
McCaffrey and Jordan May and all of them went down,

597
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:03,559
and he actually played pretty well. He's played running back

598
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:08,359
multiple times in his career. I get it he's been underwhelming.

599
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:12,599
I understand that he's still a relatively young player and

600
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,960
he can definitely make an impact on an offense that

601
00:30:16,279 --> 00:30:18,440
outside of Terry mclauren, what do you have. I mean,

602
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:20,559
zach Ertz was big for this team in the playoffs.

603
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Zach Ertz is not getting any younger. He's been a

604
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,480
good tight end for a number of years. I don't

605
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:27,319
know how much he has left in the tank. And

606
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:30,880
as good as Terry mclauren is, the number two and

607
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,920
three receivers on this team for most of the year

608
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,119
was Dammy Brown and Olamide's a kyas If you don't

609
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:43,480
know who those guys are, that's perfectly fine. That's pretty

610
00:30:43,519 --> 00:30:47,079
much my point. Luke McCaffrey was sprinkled in there as well.

611
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:52,039
Solid players, not bad. Zakias came up with multiple big

612
00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:54,920
catches in the playoffs. Dammy Brown, he is great on

613
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,279
the deep ball, but those are not guys that you

614
00:30:57,359 --> 00:30:59,359
can rely on game in and game out to make

615
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,000
the game win.

616
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,079
Speaker 3: And he plays for you.

617
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: Mclauren.

618
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:02,119
Speaker 6: Sure.

619
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:06,119
Speaker 1: Outside of Terry mclauren, I think Jayden kind of covered

620
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,000
up a lot of problems on that offense. You get

621
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:11,799
a guy like Deebo Samuel who can play out wide,

622
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,799
who could play in the slot, who could play in

623
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:14,400
the backfield.

624
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,319
Speaker 3: If you need a running back.

625
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,599
Speaker 1: I really really like this move for Jayden Daniels, again

626
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:24,000
for no other reason than it gives you versatility. And yes,

627
00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:26,000
Jaden was great as a rookie. He was by far

628
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:28,039
the best rookie quarterback in the NFL this year.

629
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,119
Speaker 3: You saw it.

630
00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:31,319
Speaker 1: He won Offensive Rookie of the Year, he won all

631
00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:34,720
those things. He's still a young player. He needs all

632
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:37,440
the help he can get. Dan Quinn, their head coach,

633
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,680
is going to get that defense even better and better

634
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,599
and better. He's got Kingsbury back as an offensive coordinator.

635
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,640
Him and Jaydon Daniels are only going to get more

636
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,599
familiar with each other. What do you do You add

637
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,279
pieces to help you win because you're in win now mode.

638
00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:53,759
You learned that last year that there is no easing

639
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:55,759
into it with Jayden Daniels. You were in win now

640
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:59,720
mode right now. I think this was a really good pickup.

641
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,400
And again you only had to give up a fifth

642
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:10,359
round pick to get Deebo Sam Great awesome love the move.

643
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,240
Another move that has not happened yet, but there are

644
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:20,519
a lot of rumors that it might. Aaron Rodgers going

645
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:23,839
back to New York, but not to the New York Jets.

646
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:27,000
The New York Giants. We brought this up a couple

647
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,680
of weeks ago that Aaron Rodgers has reached out to

648
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,880
the New York Giants saying, hey, somebody please take me. Well,

649
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:37,400
since nobody wants to go to the New York Giants,

650
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:40,559
they have now reached out to Aaron Rodgers.

651
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:42,839
Speaker 3: Not a good idea in my opinion.

652
00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:49,279
Speaker 1: You're putting together a bad, mismanaged franchise with a quarterback

653
00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:51,960
that's over the hill, that has an ego problem. Now

654
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,359
is someone that doesn't really like any teams in the

655
00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:57,079
city of New York. I'm going to enjoy this from

656
00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:59,519
afar and watch the train wreck that I believe this

657
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:04,359
is going to be. Look, Rogers's numbers last year were

658
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,640
actually better than a lot of people realize. I'm not

659
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:13,000
saying that Rogers is not a starting caliber quarterback in

660
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,440
this league anymore, even though he has diminished a lot.

661
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,839
Look last year, Rogers sixty three percent completion and ninety

662
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,039
seven yards, so a hair under four thousand, twenty eight touchdowns,

663
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:26,160
eleven interceptions. That's actually pretty solid numbers when you look

664
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,759
at it on the surface. Take his own field performance

665
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:31,960
out up. Whether you think he's still good, whether you

666
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,400
think he's washed. Kind of irrelevant to this particular point.

667
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:41,240
He has been a negative on every team he has

668
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,240
been on the last five years because he's a distraction

669
00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:47,400
and he's not a positive distraction. Let's think about the

670
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,119
journey of Aaron Rodgers for just a second and what

671
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,799
happens when things don't go well in New York. Aaron

672
00:33:54,839 --> 00:33:57,599
Rodgers wins a Super Bowl with Mike McCarthy. Okay, everything's

673
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,359
going great. Green Bay's on top of the world. You

674
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,319
have a young quarterback and a head coach that could

675
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:05,839
be together for quite some time. Aaron Rodgers because of

676
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,119
his poor play in the playoffs, because of him turning

677
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:12,159
the ball over and inopportune times. Well, I can't win

678
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,320
with Mike McCarthy. Well that's okay, Aaron. We'll make a change.

679
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 3: Who do you want?

680
00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:19,519
Speaker 1: I want Matt Lafleuur. Matt Lafleur is my guy? All right, cool,

681
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:22,079
we'll get you, Matt Lafleur. You do good in the

682
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:24,880
regular season, you go to the playoffs, you'll once again

683
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,079
fall flat on your face. Oh well, it's clearly Matt Lafleur. Right,

684
00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:30,719
it can't be Aaron Rodgers. It cannot be the great

685
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:36,880
Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers wants out. Even though Matt Lafleur

686
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,599
was his guy. He can't win with him either. It's

687
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,480
clearly Matt Lafluur's fault. I want to go, and I

688
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:45,000
want to pick my destination. I picked the New York Jets,

689
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,599
knowing that Robert Sala was their head coach, knowing the

690
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:49,400
weapons I have on this team. This is the team

691
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,159
that I want to go to. Cool We'll trade you

692
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:57,719
to the New York Jets. Well, guess what happens. We'll

693
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,119
take what year one as a loss.

694
00:34:59,280 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 3: I get it.

695
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: He tore his achilles like four plays in. I'll give

696
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,480
him a pass on that. This season, you can't win anything.

697
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,119
So they move on from Robert Sala. Because once again,

698
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,400
no way is this Aaron Rodgers' fault, right, And you

699
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,239
actually have a worse winning percentage without Robert Sala than

700
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,039
you did with it. Let's put this into perspective for

701
00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:24,719
a little bit. Zach Wilson and Sam Donald both considered

702
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,679
bust until this past year. Both considered incredibly bad misses

703
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,639
by the New York Giants, I mean by the New

704
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,920
York Jets in Round one of the NFL Draft. Wilson

705
00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:36,920
and Sam Darnold had better winning percentages with the New

706
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,840
York Jets than Aaron Rodgers did. But that's okay. He

707
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,159
gets to go on McAfee every week. Aaron Rodgers is

708
00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:46,280
going to be in the spotlight no matter what. How

709
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,280
do you think this is going to end with the

710
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,480
New York Giants? You got my leak neighbors, he's great,

711
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,480
He's a stunt Tyron Tracy surprised a lot of people

712
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,599
as a rookie last year. He did some nice things

713
00:35:56,639 --> 00:35:59,679
at running back. Is it sustainable? You don't have the

714
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,760
great offensive line in the world. You're about to be

715
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,239
forty one years old. Your head coach has been rumored

716
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,760
to be fired every offseason for like the last three years.

717
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,199
Yet Joe Shane is your GM, which he was the

718
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,639
laughing stock of the league this entire season because of

719
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:16,159
hard knocks and what he said about overpaying for Saquon Barkley.

720
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,880
How do you think this is going to go? You

721
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,039
have a poorly ran, poorly managed franchise with the New

722
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:25,320
York Giants. Now you want to bring in a forty

723
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,960
one year old quarterback with not a ton of weapons

724
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,880
around him outside of elite neighbors, a decent offensive line,

725
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,880
nothing great, an above average running game. They don't really

726
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,599
know what their defense is going to do. It's been

727
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,760
hit and miss. Do you really think Aaron Rodgers is

728
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,599
going to turn this around?

729
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 4: And?

730
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: Like, what sense does it make for the New York Giants.

731
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,880
They're probably going to draft a young quarterback in this draft,

732
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,679
as they should, but if you're bringing in Rogers, you're

733
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:54,199
gonna want that quarterback to sit. Rogers is going to

734
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,159
know that. Rogers, you know, reportedly kind of felt some

735
00:36:59,159 --> 00:37:00,760
type of way about that when the Packers did it

736
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,639
with Jordan Love. I imagine we're gonna see a similar reaction here. Also,

737
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,679
when you're bringing in Aaron Rodgers and you're going to

738
00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:11,639
pay him what Aaron Rodgers is going to demand, that

739
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,280
essentially means you're in win now mode. The New York

740
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,199
Giants aren't closed to competing for a Super Bowl with

741
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,559
Aaron Rodgers. Without Aaron Rodgers, it doesn't really matter. I

742
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:24,400
don't see how any of this is beneficial to the

743
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,199
New York Giants. I get it. For Aaron Rodgers, market

744
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,679
ain't exactly oversaturated for teams knocking on Aaron Rodgers's door.

745
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,159
Rodgers is basically going to play for the Giants the Titans,

746
00:37:33,199 --> 00:37:34,719
or he's gonna sit at home on his couch like

747
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,039
me on Sundays. So I get why Aaron Rodgers would

748
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:41,079
want to go there. This makes no sense for me.

749
00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:43,559
If you're the New York Giants, we'll see what happens.

750
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,039
There's been a lot of rumors there. As a Cowboys fan,

751
00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:49,360
I hope it happens because I need somebody else to

752
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,679
be in turmoil like my franchise. I don't think it

753
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,320
should happen, though. I think this would be a really

754
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,440
bad move by the New York Giants. All right, look,

755
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,280
we're gonna take a time out, we come back. We're

756
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,639
gonna close out hour number two and then an hour

757
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,559
number three. Zach naggif s I is gonna hop on

Speaker 3: Then we're gonna close it out with ask the bench.

790
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:27,199
did was make ugly comments in the YouTube chat. So

00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,480
shout out to both of those guys. Hope they are

792

enjoying their vacation. Guys mention this to you during break

793
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:39,280
and I intentionally did not tell you the movies. So, Cassie,

794
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:42,400
I don't know how you are in terms of movies.

795
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,440
I know a Lauandra like, at least for the classics,

796
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,880
you've pretty much seen the malt correct. Yeah, okay, I

797
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,039
watch a ton of movies, Cassie. How are you with

798
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:50,639
movie knowledge?

799
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,159
Speaker 5: I watch a lot of movies.

800
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,119
Speaker 3: I'm like a big streamer to watch lots of stuff.

801
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,199
Speaker 1: Perfect. Last night was the Oscars. Okay, first off, they

802
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:04,440
had ten nominations for Best Movie. I kind of feel

803
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,480
like you could narrow that down to three. What you

804
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,159
guys to tell me if you've seen any of these?

805
00:40:08,519 --> 00:40:10,679
Because I watch a ton of movies, and I sat

806
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,920
there last night and was like, I'm apparently not nearly

807
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,480
as cultured as I thought I was, because I have

808
00:40:14,559 --> 00:40:18,159
seen one of The tenth A Nora.

809
00:40:18,519 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 3: Anybody seen it?

810
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:19,679
Speaker 4: No?

811
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: Anybody know who even remotely is in it or what

812
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:22,159
it's about.

813
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: I heard something, okay, well, you know she's in there.

814
00:40:25,559 --> 00:40:27,159
I know she's in it, but I don't know who

815
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:27,760
else is in.

816
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: How about the Brutalist, No, never heard of that one,

817
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:31,239
A complete unknown.

818
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 3: You've probably seen that one in Launda the Bob Villin

819
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:33,719
when or did you see?

820
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:39,159
Speaker 1: No, I's a complete great movie. Conclave. No, nope, I

821
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,559
didn't think so. Dune Part two, that's the one I've seen.

822
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:43,519
I still haven't seen it.

823
00:40:43,559 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 2: I know what it is, but I have no I

824
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:45,800
haven't seen part two yet.

825
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: Amelia Perez No and I heard it sucked.

826
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:50,559
Speaker 3: Well.

827
00:40:50,679 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: It won every single thing. It did not win Best Picture,

828
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,880
but it literally won Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, be

829
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,559
like literally best like it's one like six Thames.

830
00:41:00,639 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: That is insane because I've seen a clip that goes

831
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,920
around Twitter of this movie and it's Selena Gomez and

832
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,360
she's speaking Spanish and the other one she's speaking.

833
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:18,639
Speaker 1: It terribly well, others disagree, Elandre. How about Wicked, that's

834
00:41:18,639 --> 00:41:23,280
a popular one, Okay, yeah, no, I never saw Wicked. Actually,

835
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:28,760
well for Best picture goes a nourra and Guys, I

836
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,679
gotta be honest with you, Like again, I kind of

837
00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:34,639
feel like I have seen a lot of really good movies.

838
00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:36,639
Like me and t bub said here and talked about

839
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:40,320
U nos Feratu. No didn't win a single thing last night.

840
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,119
Was only nominated for one thing, and it was like

841
00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:43,800
makeup design.

842
00:41:43,639 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 3: Something like that.

843
00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: I feel like horror movies or like movies that are

844
00:41:47,519 --> 00:41:48,920
not movies don't.

845
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: But see that's why I kind of had hope for No.

846
00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:53,920
S Faratu. That's a film that is a two and

847
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,039
a half hour long movie. I would even call it

848
00:41:57,079 --> 00:42:00,320
a horror movie, but like the Substance, that's a apparently

849
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:00,840
a horror movie.

850
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:01,639
Speaker 3: It was on this list.

851
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,599
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. I know Demi Moore's in it.

852
00:42:03,599 --> 00:42:06,119
That's about all line. Note. Yeah, I guess the point

853
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:11,079
is like we are so out of touch. Yeah, apparently

854
00:42:11,119 --> 00:42:13,559
with what is what is hot, what is popular.

855
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 3: Or anything like that.

856
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: I watch a ton of movies I haven't seen any.

857
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 2: And I feel like I lost this like two three

858
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:19,280
years ago.

859
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: It's arty now, it's what movie's the artsy is and.

860
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,079
Speaker 2: All this I used to watch like every single movie

861
00:42:25,079 --> 00:42:27,519
that came out every like a twenty four film that

862
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:30,719
came out every just like big blockbuster that came out.

863
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: I still did, Yeah, I thought I still did. Yeah,
