Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and T. Bob Abert.

5

6
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Now Here's Jacob Hester and T. Bob Abert.

7
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:21,359
Speaker 4: Welcome in our number two Monday edition Off off the

8
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:24,719
Bench Taylor Trumper with you alongside Matthew Mussolantra villar Rial,

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,399
Cassie's Bizzali A full studio here on this Monday morning,

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,079
we were Baseball heavy Hour number one. We also had

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,719
Ross Jackson on recapping the New Orleans Saints Draft. Right now,

12
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:39,359
I want to continue our discussion on the NFL Draft,

13
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:41,280
but want to kind of look at it outside the

14
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:44,679
New Orleans Saints as far as like a winners and losers,

15
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,479
because there were certainly some teams that made some moves.

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,439
We talked about it with Ross of how smart it

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,439
was for the Saints to stay put make on nine

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,159
of their draft picks, very unlike Mickey Loomis, but it

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,280
apparently worked out for him, at least it appears to

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,439
as of right now. But a couple of teams that

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,880
were on the move and I think we're actually winners

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,640
in this draft. I never thought I would say this.

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Mel Kiper would pat me on the back for this.

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,239
I think the Cleveland Browns were the one of the

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,920
winners of this NFL draft. Again, I never thought i'd

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,920
say it, But they got a haul for that second pick,

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,079
so it really started on Thursday night. Now they pick

28
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,239
swafted with the Jags, so they got five, the Jags

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,920
got two, They got a third round pick and the

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,400
Jacksonville Jaguars first round pick for next year. And they

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,560
still ended up drafting Mason Graham, who a lot of

32
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:29,000
people thought could have been the best defensive player in

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,359
this draft. They needed help on the defensive line. A

34
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:33,640
lot of people thought they might go Abdul Carter like

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,400
that was a really good move to me also when

36
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:39,879
I first looked at it, So look, they're the ones

37
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,200
that finally drafted Shador Sanders in round five.

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,439
Speaker 2: Who ray for them.

39
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:47,079
Speaker 4: They drafted Dylan Gabriel in round four when I initially

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,280
looked at him, like, you drafted back to back quarterbacks,

41
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,120
Like that's such a Cleveland Browns thing to do. However,

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,519
actually like it. It gives you some options. Gabriel and Shador Sanders,

43
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:58,439
two very different quarterbacks. You also have Kenny Pickett and

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,959
Joe Flacco. I think we can close the book on

45
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,120
Deshaun Watson, but he's technically still on the roster. So look,

46
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,840
you have an aging veteran in Joe Flacco. You have

47
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,319
Kenny Pickett, who's got a little bit of mobility, he's

48
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,039
been in the league for a few years. You got

49
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,719
Shador Sanders, who's your typical pocket passer, and then Dylan

50
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:17,159
Gabriel who can run in his very mobile That gives

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,919
you options depending on what kind of scheme you want

52
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,280
to run. You have a basically four different styles of

53
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,599
quarterbacks for whatever you want to do, and two really

54
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,439
talented young players in Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders. Also,

55
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:32,840
you needed a running back help in a big, big way.

56
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:33,719
Speaker 2: What do they do?

57
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 4: They grab Quinn Shawn Judkins in round two and Dylan

58
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Sampson in round four. Either one of those guys could

59
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,280
start right away no longer with Nick Chubb, they essentially

60
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,199
have Jerome Ford on their roster and nobody else.

61
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,439
Speaker 2: They needed help in the running game.

62
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: We know that Kevin Stefanski kind of a run first

63
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,400
offensive scheme and a tight end Harold fannin junior, which

64
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:56,800
is actually the triple Crown winner in college football in

65
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,199
terms of tight ends. He let all tight ends and receptions,

66
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280
yards and touchdowns. That's a pretty complete draft for the

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,000
Browns moves Like I never thought I would say this,

68
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:06,960
but I thought they actually did a really good job.

69
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: I have full confidence in them to turn it into

70
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:10,280
wins on the field.

71
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,759
Speaker 2: Too. Well. That, yeah, that's a different story.

72
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 5: You bring up an interest thing with a quarterback room though,

73
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:17,520
because I mean that's gonna be one of the more

74
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,199
interesting storylines to watch yea all throughout the summer and

75
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
into training camps. I mean, they're not gonna carry four

76
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,400
quarterbacks into the regular season.

77
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: Well, and it it also is what are they gonna

78
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,439
do with DeShawn Because if Deshawn's still on the roster,

79
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,400
like I'd cut him, they still own him a lot

80
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:33,800
of money. But like if they want to keep him one, yeah,

81
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,400
possibly two of those four quarterbacks are gone are gone.

82
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,599
Speaker 5: So because I mean, cause that that's like, that's gonna

83
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:42,840
be the interesting thing they stocked up there. And I

84
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,599
mean the Dylan Gabriel pick is is interesting.

85
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if they want to run the Ball.

86
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

87
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:49,919
Speaker 5: I was about to say, like he fits more of

88
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:53,479
what you're seeing into day's NFL at quarterback where they

89
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,080
want that mobility, they want that, you know, the quarterback

90
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,800
to be a part of the not just mobility, to

91
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,560
be a part of the run game, whether it's you know,

92
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Lamar Jackson and Jade Daniels and Kyler Murray can do

93
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
that a little bit for you as well. So, uh,

94
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:06,560
that that pick that picks interesting? I mean, yeah, I

95
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,639
think they crushed the running that's got. That's the best

96
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:09,639
running back draft to them.

97
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:11,319
Speaker 2: Yeah and Samson.

98
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were people that were arguing, like for those

99
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,919
some of the best running backs in the draft, you

100
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:16,560
got them both.

101
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,399
Speaker 5: You got them both and and late. I mean round

102
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,040
two and well round two for for Judkins, but round

103
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,639
four f f.

104
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: The SCC player of the Year.

105
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: I don't know why he was so underrated coming into

106
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,839
this draft. I mean, it's duty shout out Dutch. Yeah,

107
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,560
it's not like he's undersize or anything. But like, if

108
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,959
you told me you had two fourth round picks, you

109
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:37,319
got Dylan Sampson and Dylan Gabriel, Like that's pretty good

110
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:38,480
value there in the fourth round.

111
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean that's that's fantastic.

112
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 5: I mean, look, we've seen great running game from the

113
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,240
Browns in the past.

114
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: I think that just continues that. No, it was. It

115
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,399
was a really really really good draft for them.

116
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, now, how many names does our

117
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,759
guy with the quarterback jersey add to the back of

118
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800
it or is that thing kind of just morphed into address?

119
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:02,439
Speaker 4: He kind of yeah, because I think I think he

120
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,319
ran out of room this year. I don't remember who

121
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:07,399
the quarterback was. It may have been Bailey Zappi. I

122
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,000
think he ran out of room this year with all

123
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,920
the different starting quarterbacks. So he's gonna have to maybe

124
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,439
make a trench code out of it or something. Look

125
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,600
to your point, yes, Cleveland had a good draft, but

126
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,680
they're gonna turn it into wins on the field. Probably not,

127
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,000
because they're the Cleveland Browns. They'll probably wind up, like,

128
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,600
knowing knowing them, they'll be like, ah, we're gonna cut

129
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,279
s your or end Dylan Gabriel and just roll with

130
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,079
the veterans, and then they're all gonna get injured. I mean,

131
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,199
that's just who the Cleveland Browns are. My second winner

132
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,040
is the San Francisco forty nine ers, strictly due to

133
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,120
the fact that they had eleven draft picks in total

134
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,439
and they used all of them. This is big for

135
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,920
them because they lost essentially their entire defense.

136
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: So what did they do?

137
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 4: Their first five picks in the draft, all defensive players.

138
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,040
They did a really nice job there. And then in

139
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,759
round five you get Jordan James, the running back out

140
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,839
of Oregon. He's been a really good player and underrated

141
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,319
player in college. If you remember two years ago, he

142
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,319
was kind of that one two punch with Bucky Irving,

143
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,279
so he kind of got shuffle. But this past year,

144
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,399
I mean he was the bell coal back in one

145
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:06,319
of the highest scoring offenses in the country. He was

146
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,040
a really good player. I mean he's five to eleven,

147
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:10,079
he's two hundred and ten pounds. He can do a

148
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,480
little bit of everything for you. Like the Christian McCaffrey,

149
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,680
injuries are a real thing right now, we don't know

150
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,720
what his future in the NFL looks. Like Kyle Shanahan

151
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,360
loves to run the football. I think Jordan James. I

152
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:22,639
think Jordan James could potentially be that guy for him.

153
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,279
I really like what the forty nine ers did.

154
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: I like the picking Nick Martin in the third round.

155
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,439
Speaker 5: That's a guy that the Saints did plenty of work

156
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,759
on as well out of Oklahoma State and looks looks

157
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,720
like one of those kind of linebackers are gonna find

158
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,759
later in the draft and look up and he's gonna

159
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:37,240
be Pro Bowl type player potentially.

160
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: I like that pick as well.

161
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 5: Obviously I like the Mikel Williams pick in the first

162
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,600
round for them at eleven.

163
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,079
Speaker 2: That a lot of potential.

164
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: I know in AFR we kind of comped him a

165
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,360
little bit to like Daniel Hunter in a sense where

166
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,600
he looks the part and the production maybe went in there.

167
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,600
There were some injuries and stuff in college, but if

168
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,720
you get him right, you get him healthy, that's a

169
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,160
guy can who can wreck the game. So yeah, defense

170
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,519
is absolutely cute, huge for them, and uh, I mean

171
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,600
they addressed it. They definitely addressed They addressed the line.

172
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,360
They addressed every level too. Yeah, they addressed the line

173
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,720
with three picks on the line, a linebacker and then

174
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,759
a cornerback as well.

175
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, Well, we'll see how the Niners go. Man.

176
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 5: That's what they've kind of been known for over the

177
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:19,439
last few years and during this run under Shanahan. Oddly enough,

178
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:22,480
I hadn't been the offense. It's been just the stout, nasty,

179
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:24,560
hit you in the mouth defense.

180
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,879
Speaker 4: All right, look, we've been a little too nice. That

181
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,079
was our winners. Let's get into the losers. And I

182
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:32,360
was telling this this during break. This was not planned.

183
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,439
I did not mean to pick on the NFC South.

184
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,879
But it turns out my two biggest losers of the

185
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:39,639
NFL Draft, good news for Saints fans, are in the

186
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,720
NFC South, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Atlanta Falcons.

187
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: Falcons are always losers, if being if we're being honest,

188
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,639
that's always lose.

189
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: You're you're right, you're right. The empty Super Bowl case

190
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:52,120
it shows that. But look, we'll start with the Tampa

191
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,639
Bay Buccaneers. As far as your first round pick goes,

192
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560
everyone knew that Tampa's big as need was on defense

193
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,000
because if you go look at offense rankings, they were

194
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,600
top five in the NFL and passing and rushing offense,

195
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,439
and they were one of the bottom five defenses in

196
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,399
the NFL. And what do you do with your first

197
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,480
round pick? You draft in Mecca Egbuka. Not only do

198
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,199
I think there were better receivers available, but you have

199
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,720
Mike Evans. You just resigned Chris Godwin. Jalen McMillan was

200
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360
really good for you last year as a rookie. When

201
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:22,759
both of those guys went down and you drafted Mecca

202
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,319
eg Buca. I mean, it's fine, like he's a good player,

203
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:27,160
but where does he fit in your offense? Now this

204
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:29,120
is not egg Buca's fault, but my point had always

205
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:31,759
been you'd never been a one in college. He had

206
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,639
always been behind Marvin Harrison, Chris Alave, then Jeremiah Smith.

207
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,519
Now look, Brian Thomas had never been a one in

208
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,960
college and he turned out to be excellent as a rookie.

209
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,399
But I just look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They

210
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,480
needed a lot more help than wide receiver. They went

211
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,159
luxury pick in the first round when you had obvious needs. Now,

212
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,320
their next two picks were corners. They go Benjamin Morrison

213
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,320
and Jacob Parrish, a cornerback duo. Like that's fine, but

214
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:59,320
you could have got a premier defensive player in the

215
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,200
first round. And then late you take another wide receiver

216
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:06,840
in Tess Johnson. He was undersized, not sure how much

217
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,639
he can play this season. Like, you had a lot

218
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,279
more needs on defense, and you went value pick and

219
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,159
wide receiver. Twice, you went luxury pick when you had

220
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:16,519
a lot of needs. I just I thought they should

221
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:18,480
have went somewhere else outside of a BUCA first round.

222
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: That was a little good surprising.

223
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 5: Now, I will say this from a Saints respect, I'm

224
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480
not excited about having to face him now every year

225
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:27,919
as well twice with the rest of those receivers that

226
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,200
you just you know, rattled off the edge picks that

227
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,519
they picked up as well later in the draft. See

228
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:36,080
what kind of value they can get there. I mean,

229
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,279
here's the thing I have with the Bucks though, It's like, man,

230
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,200
the NFC South's no prize, I get it. It's a

231
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,360
really bad division. It's hargadbly the worst division football, and yeah,

232
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,840
they just kind of own it. So it's like, man,

233
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,919
the moves look head scratching, but they just keep winning

234
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:57,799
the division, making playoffs, so you know, let's maybe they

235
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,480
know what they're doing.

236
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: A little bit over there.

237
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,039
Speaker 5: Again, it's a horrible and if they were in any

238
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:06,159
other vision they probably would finish last. But for where

239
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,559
they are right now, it's interesting. Some head scratching moves,

240
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,639
for sure, but hard to argue with the results that

241
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,639
have been happening all the field.

242
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: Well not only that, Like, sure, is Michael Pennick the

243
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:16,960
answer in Atlanta?

244
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: We don't know.

245
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: So right now, Tampa Bay is the only team that

246
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,519
does not have a question a quarterback. Yeah, I don't

247
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,159
really know what Bryce Young is going to do. I

248
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,200
don't think he's a long term answer. He looked better,

249
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:30,440
Canny build on that. Can Michael Pennock Junior be the

250
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,720
full time starter? We know the Saints are in quarterback

251
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,559
hell right now. You don't know what car is going

252
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,320
to do. Is Tyler Shutt going to have to start

253
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,320
year one? I mean, you could say what you want

254
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,639
about Baker Mayfield, but that's the only quarterback in that

255
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,360
division right now that is a legitimate starting quarterback that

256
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,600
you know for sure. Is the franchise guy at that

257
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:50,200
team that helps you a lot as well. But my

258
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:53,159
second loser, it's going to be the Atlanta Falcons.

259
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: Look, you drafted Jalen Walker in the first round. I

260
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,639
don't hate it.

261
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 4: This is a pick based on potential, But where does

262
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,120
he kind of fit? You know, Jaalen Walker? And I'm like,

263
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,120
can he play inside? Do you need him on the edge?

264
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,960
Where can you play him? The good news is he's

265
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,240
an athletic guy. I'm okay with that pick. But you

266
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:11,440
give up a future first round pick to trade back

267
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,080
up into the first round to take another edge rusher

268
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,559
in James Pierce. Let's say you want to play Jalen

269
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,159
Walker on the edge. Okay, you get two edge rushers,

270
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,840
that's fine. You needed help pass rushing. But to give

271
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,080
up a future first round pick to take another outside

272
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,120
linebacker when you just drafted Jalen Walker, I think that's

273
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:31,720
a lot to give up in that situation. It's nothing

274
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:33,559
against James Piers. I just I don't know if I

275
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,440
would have given up a future first for that. Also,

276
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:38,600
you drafted two safeties in this class. You already have

277
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,320
Jesse Baits on the roster, you had two more with them,

278
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:44,759
but you needed depth on the interior. You didn't grab that.

279
00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:47,720
You grab two safeties. One of them is going to

280
00:11:47,759 --> 00:11:49,919
be a rotational piece with Jesse Baits there. I mean

281
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,559
a lot of talent in that room.

282
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: Certainly.

283
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they they grab guys that are going

284
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:55,159
to be bust.

285
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: It's just I don't know about the fits with them.

286
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,679
In Atlanta.

287
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 5: I like the two edge rusher picks. I do do.

288
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:03,879
Speaker 2: You like giving up a first though for peers trading

289
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:04,279
back up.

290
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't say I like giving a first up.

291
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,360
But I mean, look, you have you have Leonard Floyd

292
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,720
under contract for one more year if you're Atlanta, Yeah,

293
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:16,399
and he's going into his eleventh year in the NFL.

294
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: It's a veteran. It's time to start looking towards your future.

295
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,919
Speaker 5: I think Jalen Walker has obviously a very bright future.

296
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,159
And I really really like James Pierce. I mean that

297
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:28,799
that's a guy you kind of mentioned versatility, things of

298
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:32,120
that nature. Athleticism for sure, like I James Pierce. So

299
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,080
I don't know if I would have given up a

300
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:38,639
first round pick, you know, but it's definitely a spot

301
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,200
that they thought they needed to address because I mean

302
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,320
if you just if you look at that spot for

303
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,960
them a year ago, you know, Leonard Floyd at eight

304
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,639
and a half sacks, uh, but outside of that at

305
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,960
defensive end, I mean, you know, look you got two

306
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:57,639
young players in Harrison in London and then Morgan Fox

307
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,720
as well. You know, look just looking at their defensive roster,

308
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,240
you're he hit three to three and a half sacks,

309
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,559
the guy eight years league.

310
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 2: So I think they definitely address needs there, give it out.

311
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,399
Speaker 5: The first round pick to get Pierce is interesting, but

312
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,840
they went in with the clear playing and they got him.

313
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:12,399
I think they got two really really good players that

314
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,879
am not excited. The SAME's offensive line as the Blocks.

315
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing, right, Like maybe you look

316
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,480
at it, none of these teams outside of the Bucks

317
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,840
really have a good offensive line, like the Panthers' offensive

318
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,679
lines nothing right home about it. And you're like, hey,

319
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:27,120
this is a winnable division. Let's just wreck havoc on

320
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,080
the opposing quarterback, right, let's make their life hell I

321
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,039
Michael Pinnox, we think he's going to be the guy.

322
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,799
We compare that with a really good defense. So no,

323
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,200
I certainly I certainly understand the pick. I do like

324
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,080
the picks as well. I just I don't know about

325
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,480
giving up the first rounder though. That's just that's a

326
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360
little rich for me. And I also also just always

327
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:47,200
like picking on the Atlanta Falcons. If the two safeties

328
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:50,840
again there you on that they're solid players, but you

329
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,559
needed a lot more, Like you have Jesse Bates back,

330
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,240
and it's not like I get it, Jesse Bates is

331
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,559
getting older. It's not like his plays declining any like

332
00:13:57,879 --> 00:13:59,720
I would have taken one safety and maybe win in

333
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:02,000
two or your depth on that. But I mean, I

334
00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:05,159
guess they just went pure potential there, and I understand it,

335
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,840
but I don't know that one's a little head scratching

336
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:07,039
to me.

337
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, the safeties are definitely confusing. That one.

338
00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily understand uh as much, but I with

339
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:17,120
the end is I'm with you.

340
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:17,919
Speaker 2: There, all right.

341
00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: Look, we're going to take a quick time out. That

342
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:21,679
was just kind of like a draft winner and loser.

343
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,440
What we kind of thought, we liked, what we didn't

344
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,639
like from the draft. We're gonna take a time out.

345
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:27,639
When we get back, we're gonna talk a little LSU football.

346
00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:30,320
They add a player in the transfer portal and lose

347
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,399
a player over the weekend.

348
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,399
Speaker 2: We'll break that down next.

349
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,799
Speaker 1: You're on Off the Bench, Off the Bench, back to

350
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,759
sports Talk, maybe off the Bench.

351
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: Welcome back in and Monday edition of Off the Bench.

352
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,240
Taylor trumperd with you saiding along Matthew Musso, Landra Villarrial

353
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,799
Cassi's Bizzali here as well. I want to talk a

354
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:52,559
little LSU football. As it was announced over the weekend

355
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,200
that LSU has lost a defensive tackle to the transfer portal,

356
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,320
and it's someone who actually just got on campus.

357
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: It's Dylan Battle.

358
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: After just four months on campus, he has entered the

359
00:15:02,879 --> 00:15:05,480
transfer portal. He's a freshman early in roly look, a

360
00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:09,320
three star prospect coming out of Arlington, Texas. Nice size

361
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:11,919
six two, three hundred and ten pounds. You have a

362
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,759
lot of bodies at defensive tackle, just not a ton

363
00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:17,080
of experience. It's something we have talked about all off

364
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,279
season long. I think the room will be fine if

365
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,159
Dominic amad bro and Dominic McKinley will live up to

366
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,039
the high look.

367
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: Outside of them, you have Jacobe.

368
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,159
Speaker 4: And Gillery, Shoan Washington, Sideer, Mitchell, Zion Williams, Walter Mathis

369
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,759
are coming in, Brandon Brown's coming in in the fall.

370
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:37,000
It makes sense that someone transferred. I just didn't think

371
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,679
it would be at freshman. You know, we were talking

372
00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:40,879
about it a little bit during break and Mussom engine

373
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,679
the fact that you know he was big on bo Davis.

374
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: This is a Bou Davis guy, and I get it.

375
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 4: Anytime there's turnover at the defensive tackle position, you expect

376
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:51,200
one of the guys to leave. I thought that LSU

377
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,840
had been fortunate up to this point. You didn't hear it.

378
00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:56,799
You hear it now, so it's unfortunate that you lose

379
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,360
a Dylan battle. However, this does come on the heels

380
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,919
of LSU getting a commitment from South Florida defensive tackle

381
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,159
Bernard Good.

382
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,279
Speaker 2: And when you look at Good in.

383
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,759
Speaker 4: Six foot one, two hundred and eighty pounds, played twenty

384
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:12,879
seven games in college over the past three years. Last

385
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:16,320
season at South Florida by far his best. He had

386
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:19,080
thirty five tackles, ten tackles for a loss, one and

387
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,360
a half sacks. Moose, You and I were kind of

388
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,120
talking about it during break, you know, Kelly a couple

389
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,120
of weeks ago, right when spring wrapped up, said, I

390
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,799
think we're good in the transfer portal. Most likely unless

391
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:35,159
a big time name inners, we're an immediate impact player

392
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,720
inners the portal, then things will change. But on the surface,

393
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,639
this kind of just looks like a depth piech right.

394
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:43,840
I mean nothing about Bernard goodin jumps out at you.

395
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,559
He's a little bit undersized for the defensive tackle spot

396
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:49,080
at six one, two eighty five. He has played in

397
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,759
a lot of games, but the production it's been Okay,

398
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,200
what are you what are your thoughts on this?

399
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: Because my thing was, Okay, maybe Kyle.

400
00:16:58,039 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: Williams likes the leaner defensive tackle, right because you saw

401
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:02,480
under Bo Davis.

402
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:04,079
Speaker 2: You bring in Zion Williams.

403
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 4: He's three hundred and thirty pounds, you bring inside of

404
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,039
your Mitchell, he's massive. You got a lot of big body,

405
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,279
run stuffing guys in there. If Kyle Williams prefers maybe

406
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:16,119
a leaner defensive tackle, maybe that's why they bring this

407
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,680
guy in. But it's kind of not the name we

408
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,640
maybe thought we would hear for LSU as for as

409
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,359
a portal edition.

410
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: No, And I mean, look, he's a really good player.

411
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,599
Speaker 5: I mean, this guy is a top fifty player in

412
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,720
the transfer portal. He was the highest uncommitted player in

413
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:30,440
the transfer portal that you just went it. You went

414
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,240
out and got so. I mean, like he is a

415
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,599
good player. The athleticism is obviously what's going to jump

416
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,440
off the page. I mean, I think of Blake Baker's

417
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,480
defense and especially even you know Kyle Williams, I'll coaching

418
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:41,559
the defensive line, havoc is going to be something huge

419
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:44,359
for him. Blake Baker talked about that during the spring

420
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,079
when when he was asked about Kyle Williams that you know,

421
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,079
you watched kylewams NFL career and you know at the

422
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,960
time when he was finally able to get in there

423
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
start being aggressive rushing in the pass uner that's where

424
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:58,039
that's where he kind of exploded and became the great.

425
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,279
Speaker 2: NFL tackle that we all saw.

426
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,559
Speaker 5: And that's something that he's going to bring tell issues defense,

427
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,440
So I think that plays into it. My thing is,

428
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,400
though you already kind of have a couple of those guys.

429
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,680
I mean Don McKinley is extremely athletic asides. I mean,

430
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,799
he's he's over three hundred pounds. He's like no and

431
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:16,599
he's like three ten, three fifteen, it's like six five

432
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,119
sixty six.

433
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: He's just a huge guy.

434
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 5: But I mean that's a dude who had three sacks

435
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,079
for you a year ago and very limited opportunity, like

436
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,039
he can create that having for you as well. Obviously,

437
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:26,799
I'm ed bro is similar in size to a guy

438
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,640
like Bernard Gooden. So I mean I think it obviously

439
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,839
has you know, traits of that, but you know you

440
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:36,480
can look at it and go, well, it's the experience, okay,

441
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,519
But with that experience hasn't necessarily come a bunch of production.

442
00:18:43,839 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: Maybe.

443
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 5: I mean it was a good season thirty five tackles,

444
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,960
a sack and a half a year ago and a

445
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,839
few more pressures in eleven starts.

446
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: But I don't know when I thought they want to

447
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:53,400
go out.

448
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:55,839
Speaker 5: And add an experienced piece I kind of had in

449
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,240
my mind, you know, multi year starter at a different school,

450
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,839
someone who can come in and play immediately for LSU

451
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,440
along the defensive line, especially on the interior, much like

452
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,799
you saw them do all throughout the fall and a

453
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,960
winter portal window where I mean, how many times when

454
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,200
we come here and we talk about the latest edition,

455
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:16,000
it was this is a guy who they are bringing

456
00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:18,559
in to start day number one Like this, They are

457
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,279
going out and getting guys who will immediately impact and

458
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,920
change this defense. We could run through them on the

459
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,920
offensive side as well as on the defensive side.

460
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: So he doesn't scream that to me, but I think

461
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:30,920
it's a.

462
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 5: Really solid addition who's going to play and is going

463
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,519
to help LSU. It's just head scratching, because you definitely

464
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:38,039
had depth.

465
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:39,279
Speaker 2: You were in searching experience.

466
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,039
Speaker 5: You got both here, but maybe not to one as

467
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,799
far end of the spectrum as I think many of

468
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,759
us thought they might go.

469
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know the reason it's said scratching to me,

470
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:50,200
it's not what you said you were going to do

471
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,000
in the transfer portal, right, you were like, hey, if

472
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:54,640
there is a huge impact, like gotta have him game

473
00:19:54,759 --> 00:19:57,079
changing guy. Maybe he turns out to be this just

474
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,119
on paper right now, it doesn't seem that way. But

475
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,079
if you remember or last year, a lot of people

476
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,240
kind of questioned, oh, you need because you need a

477
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:06,519
defensive tackle help even more so last year than you

478
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:08,359
do this year. And a lot of people questioned when

479
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,599
JVR sugs was one of the first names on the

480
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:13,079
boat on the board, right, he's from Grand Valley State,

481
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,759
and he was a little undersized as well. Now he

482
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:16,880
was a little bit bigger than this, but JVR Suggs

483
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,640
said about six foot six one right, around three hundred pounds.

484
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,839
He was probably your best interior pass rusher a year ago.

485
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:24,960
As far as the defensive tackle spot goes, I mean,

486
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,359
he helped you in a lot of different ways, like

487
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,519
maybe they're trying to fill that role a little bit.

488
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,519
Speaker 5: The problem with da though, Taylor, is that was such

489
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,000
so situational, which I get it, but it was the

490
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:36,599
third down guy. He was in there on third down.

491
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,200
But is that really But that's not much you were

492
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,000
looking like that. That's where I give him. I'm with

493
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,279
you where I'm like, that's not really what it sounded

494
00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:43,079
like you were after.

495
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

496
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 5: It's it's a little bit of a mixed reaction because

497
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,799
it's not like I think Goodn's a bad player.

498
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:48,759
Speaker 2: It's clearly he's not.

499
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,599
Speaker 5: He's it's not fifty player in the portal and he's

500
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,440
gonna help you.

501
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: It's just not really the direction I thought they would

502
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:57,759
They would go there, because.

503
00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Sugs comparison is a great one.

504
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:03,559
Speaker 2: But even he was a third down pass rusher for you.

505
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 4: I don't want to be negative any more than we

506
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:10,160
already are, but maybe this says a lot about what

507
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,599
they think of their their interior pass rushers on their team.

508
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960
I mean, maybe maybe maybe that's where they're at. Maybe

509
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,240
they were like, hey, we wanted Bro and McKinley to

510
00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:19,759
take that next step. Because McKinley shook flashes, he was great.

511
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,160
He w wasn't every down player.

512
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: Bro.

513
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: Everyone thought, hey, he's going to get better. He played

514
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,839
out of position last year, he's he's transferred en. I mean,

515
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:28,960
he had to gain what forty five pounds just to

516
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,400
get on the field a defensive tackle. Maybe he hasn't

517
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,000
taken the next step you thought he would. Maybe you

518
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:34,960
just need immediate help there. I mean, I hope that's

519
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,799
not the case, but I mean maybe that's.

520
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:37,279
Speaker 2: The thought right now.

521
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 5: Okay, And if that's the thought, then ye, I mean,

522
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,960
that's thing we're sitting here talking about it. We have

523
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:42,640
to let it all play out. But no, I mean,

524
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,839
the team is in a great spot. The roster is

525
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:47,880
in a great spot. It's the best one Brian Kelly

526
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,640
has ever had, like and this this does help that

527
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:51,440
as well.

528
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,839
Speaker 2: It's just it's the move feels like a bit of.

529
00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 5: A head scratcher because it's not necessarily where they looked

530
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,240
like they were going there. But I mean, i'll tell

531
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,279
you the thing that's been it's impressive to me, Taylor,

532
00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:04,319
is the buy in that you've seen. I mean, because

533
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,119
you know, it's one thing for Brian Kelly to get

534
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,079
on a microphone in a press conference and say, you know,

535
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,680
he'd be he wouldn't be surprised if nobody leaves, because

536
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:15,839
I mean it's like, okay, easy, Like, look at the

537
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,119
state of college athletics that we're in. People are always

538
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,960
going to leave, even when you don't expect it. But

539
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,640
I mean, if you come out of this with three

540
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,519
guys entering the portal, and and really you can count

541
00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:27,680
it as too because we knew John Emory was already

542
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,359
going in there, because Brian.

543
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: Kelly were you were counting on.

544
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 5: Kelly two weeks before that happened, said we're set at

545
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,680
running back now it was just quote, we're set at

546
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,079
running back. So really, if you lose Javin Nicholas and

547
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:39,200
you lose Dylan Battle, that speaks to the buy in

548
00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:41,839
that is happening in that building right now, and you

549
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,480
brought in the right guys in the portal. And I

550
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:48,160
think Bernard Gooden absolutely factors into that.

551
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: It's just not like.

552
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 5: If you would have told me, and again not that

553
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,720
his resume is bad, but if you would have told

554
00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:00,279
me that, okay, we're there, they're gonna bring in Art

555
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:02,880
good out of the portal before everything started out, I'll

556
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,799
be like, hey, that's that's just not the type of

557
00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:06,680
resume I thought they were looking for.

558
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:08,599
Speaker 2: Not to say he can't help the team. I'm sure

559
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:10,440
he will. I'm sure he will.

560
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 4: No, it's to your point, like, that's not even the

561
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,640
position I really thought they were going to go because

562
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,839
I actually kind of like the depth of defensive tackle

563
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,079
right now. Like I know, I know everybody's like, oh,

564
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:21,799
you're kind of unproven there. I think there's a lot

565
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:23,960
of talent in over him. Like, Okay, for example, there's

566
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,240
a guy in the portal right now, Aj Halsey. He's

567
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,880
a safety out of Houston. Everyone's after him. There are

568
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,039
no reports that also is after him right now. But

569
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,440
let me tell you what Aj Halsey has done. First off,

570
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,519
I think safety is the biggest question mark on your

571
00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:37,720
team right now. Outside of Tamarcus Cooley. I think there's

572
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,279
a big question mark now. Shawn Spears, he showed flashes.

573
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,680
Jvan Toviano, he's finally moving to safety full time. You

574
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:47,240
still have, you know, some young guys in that room.

575
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:49,920
You have Jordan Gilbert coming back and then CJ. Jim

576
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,880
Coyley and Jacob Bradford are coming in the fall. AJ

577
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Halsey thirty six games every three years. Look what he

578
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,279
did last year at Houston, seventy four tackles, five interceptions.

579
00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:03,960
That's a guy you add that could start right away.

580
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,799
That's a guy for whatever reason, has not been linked

581
00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:08,720
to LSU yet, not to say that LSU is not

582
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:10,960
doing work behind the scenes. Well, when you look like

583
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:13,960
Ole miss is on commitment, watch for and hallab Amazon commitment,

584
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,160
watch for him. A lot of SEC teams. I less

585
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,200
U's a name that has been mentioned a ton like.

586
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,000
A guy like that is maybe where I thought LSU

587
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:25,119
would go. Not necessarily a defensive tackle. All right, look,

588
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,519
we're going to take a time out. When we get back,

589
00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:29,599
we're gonna break down the LSU players in the NFL draft.

590
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:32,440
Handful of them got drafted, even more so picked up

591
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,480
his undrafted free agents.

592
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:35,559
Speaker 2: We're breaking all down next here on off the bench.

593
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,319
Speaker 1: Off the bench.

594
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: Uh oh.

595
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: Speaking of baseball, spring is sprung. Baseball's in the air.

596
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:47,559
And the best beer to pair with this beautiful weather

597
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:50,519
we've been having in this beautiful baseball we've been witnessing

598
00:24:50,839 --> 00:24:52,440
is do Sekis.

599
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: So next time you're at.

600
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 3: The ballpark or you're just at home watching the game,

601
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,359
you're getting thirsty, you're wondering what you should do.

602
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,559
Speaker 2: You should good go for dose. That's right, baby, and

603
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,240
drink some dose.

604
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,519
Speaker 3: Seki's an hour three today during the champagne Shenanigans come

605
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:14,400
a little dot. SECI's sh do Seki's what's a D

606
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:16,519
word that wouldn't be with like Shenanigans.

607
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 6: We were just calling it go for dose last week.

608
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: No I know, I know, I was just looking for

609
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:21,480
a literation.

610
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

611
00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: Look, guys, do Secu's delicious. Next time you get a bottle,

612
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,039

00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:34,119
drop that line inside, and then lick and drink to

00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,000
your heart's content.

00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: Go for dose. Seis drink responsible.

616
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: Back from the break where the sports talk gets real

617
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,799
kind of Off the Bench and with Hester and t Bob.

618
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,559
Speaker 4: Welcome back in Monday edition of Off the Bench, Taylor Sharper,

619
00:25:50,599 --> 00:25:53,920
whether you're sitting alongside Matthew Mousso and we were about

620
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,640
halfway done with this Monday show when I continue discussing

621
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,799
the NFL draft. A handful of LSHU Tigers selected in

622
00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:03,559
the twenty twenty five draft. Obviously, Will Campbell heard his

623
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,839
name called early. He's the first LSU offensive lineman to

624
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:09,720
be drafted in the first round since Alan Fanica. Just

625
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,519
the second in school history. He goes fourth overall to

626
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:14,960
the New England Patriots in the second round and forty

627
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,880
two overall Mason Taylor, the tight end, goes to the

628
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,160
New York Jets. Emery Jones and Savion Jones both found

629
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,119
their way into the third round. Braden Swinton falls to

630
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,519
the fifth round. He goes to the New England Patriots.

631
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Also in the fifth round, it's Miles Frasier to the

632
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:32,160
Denver Broncos, and then Garrett Dellinger had picked two forty

633
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,559
three in the seventh round, picked up by the Baltimore Ravens.

634
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:38,519
He will actually team up with Emrie Jones up there

635
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,839
in Baltimore. We do have a handful of undrafted free

636
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:45,359
agents as well, Major Burns at safety, Zi Alexander at cornerback,

637
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,079
which you're going to get into. I'm pretty surprised that

638
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,960
Zi actually did not get drafted. Gio Payaz with the Bears,

639
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:53,319
Josh Williams with the Bucks that's a tough landing spot

640
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,480
for him, and Paris Shand with the Buffalo Bills Moose.

641
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,359
As far as the drafted guys go, right, the seven

642
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,799
names we saw have their name called what fit do

643
00:27:03,799 --> 00:27:04,400
you like the best?

644
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: Out of that group.

645
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 5: I mean Will Campbell's I mean kind of the easy

646
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,240
answer there, but I mean, I mean, look, Mike Vrabel

647
00:27:11,599 --> 00:27:14,279
is a successful head coach in the NFL. You've seen that.

648
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:16,160
I mean, he's gotten over the tomp entirely. No, but

649
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,079
I mean he had Titans is the number one seed

650
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,640
one season. The sin they let him go exactly right.

651
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,599
So I like what Rabel's building in New England. You

652
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,960
have Drake May. Now you get your franchise left tackling

653
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,799
Will Campbell. I think he'll be fine. I mean so obviously.

654
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:33,559
I mean I love that. I really like Miles Fraser

655
00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:35,440
with the Lions too, man, I think that could be

656
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,359
an absolute steal. Like I thought there was really a

657
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,440
good chance that Fraser would come off the board day two,

658
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359
probably in round three. He makes it all the way

659
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,720
to a Round five, Uh, I think the I think

660
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,880
the Lions got really good value there because Fraser had

661
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,240
a great pre draft, especially the Senior Bowl. I mean,

662
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:57,000
he was like the offensive player of the day. I

663
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,720
think in one of the Senior Bowl practices something along

664
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,039
those lines, Like he really turned heads there. And I mean,

665
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,559
you know, he's obviously a great team guy. He put

666
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:10,839
out great tape for three seasons at LSU, So I

667
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,839
really liked that pick a lot for the for the Lions,

668
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,599
and then I thought it was great to see great

669
00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:21,720
to see Dellinger get drafted and Emory Jones went off

670
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,200
the board. Emory Jones and Savean Jones both went off

671
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,960
the board quicker than I thought they would both going

672
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,759
in round three.

673
00:28:28,079 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: So major hat tips to those guys.

674
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 5: They worked their ass off obviously in their pre draft

675
00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:34,599
and they're gonna have a lot, a lot of success

676
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,000
hopefully in the NFL.

677
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,799
Speaker 2: I like Garrett Bellinger in the seventh rounds of.

678
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: Ravens now his is obviously due to injury, right Like

679
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,160
if Garrett Dellinger doesn't go down in that Texas A

680
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,799
and M game, two things one LSU season probably looks

681
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:48,880
a lot different. But also he gets you drafted a

682
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,039
lot higher. I love his versatility. This is a guy

683
00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:53,240
that came to LSU and everybody thought he was going

684
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:55,839
to be your future left tackle. You started in mcguard.

685
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,039
He was excellent there on both sides, left and right.

686
00:28:58,079 --> 00:28:59,599
He's played a little bit of center for you. Like

687
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,400
Garrett Dellinger could pretty much play anywhere on the line

688
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,119
of scrimmage. He's also played a ton of football where

689
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,960
you I love that pick in the seventh round for

690
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,680
the Ravens paying him with a Emery Jones. But look

691
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:13,200
my favorite pick of the draft, Mason Taylor to the

692
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:16,680
Jets in round two. I love this fit. The Jets

693
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,400
are gonna want to run the ball a lot, right.

694
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,960
They have Justin Fields, you have Braylen Allen, you have

695
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:23,920
Breeze Hall. The short passing game could be used a

696
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,279
lot for justin Field as a compliment to the running game. Also,

697
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:31,039
outside of Garrett Wilson, there's not a ton of options

698
00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:35,039
out there in New York. Devontae Adams is not going back, obviously,

699
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:37,759
Aaron Rodgers is out of that building. He brought in

700
00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:39,400
a lot of guys that are not going to return

701
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,319
as well. But truly, Garrett Wilson and everything else is

702
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,440
up for grabs. I think Mason Taylor is going to

703
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,960
catch a lot of passes this year for New York.

704
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,319
It's funny the other day when he got drafted. If

705
00:29:50,359 --> 00:29:52,319
you look at the sheet, they show like the positives,

706
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:58,240
it said smooth athlete, great after the catch, zach Ertz,

707
00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:00,920
that's what it's said. There's three positive if my thought

708
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,960
as well, Hell, if he could be zach Ertz, this

709
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,559
guy's going to have a heck of a long career.

710
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,799
Zach ERT's still playing in the NFL obviously, but it

711
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:10,480
makes a lot of sense, right Like zach Ertz has

712
00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:13,519
been that super reliable guy for a number of years now.

713
00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:16,519
Mason Taylor was that, whether it was with Jayden Daniels,

714
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:18,319
whether it was with Garrett Nosemeyer. When either of them

715
00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:21,319
got in trouble, they found Mason Taylor. Justin Fields is

716
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:23,559
a guy that likes to run around a lot. He's

717
00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:25,480
going to get himself in trouble doing that at times.

718
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:27,799
Can he find Mason Taylor. I think that's a perfect

719
00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:28,519
fit for the Jets.

720
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,599
Speaker 5: No, it is that makes that does that makes a

721
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,640
lot of sense. I like that pick too, and I'm

722
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,240
just fired up for Mason Taylor also because I mean,

723
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:36,920
you know, in the same vein as Will Campbell. I mean,

724
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,119
those two guys. That was such a great punctuation to

725
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,079
their LSU career.

726
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: Yep. I talked about this when I was filling in

727
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,799
for Hunt last week.

728
00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 5: Both of those guys came in and set the standard

729
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,039
at their position at LS, Like when the next they

730
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,279
you could very well this season and next be looking

731
00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:57,119
at Tredez Green and then comparing him back to Mason Taylor,

732
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,440
because that's what it is at tied end. The next

733
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:04,039
offensive linean really any of them, if they have you know,

734
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:05,400
any mock theam of success.

735
00:31:05,079 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: They're going to be compared to Will Campbell.

736
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 5: So to see both those guys go where they did

737
00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:10,480
and go to the teams they went to where I

738
00:31:10,519 --> 00:31:13,839
think both are great situations. Just a really awesome way

739
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:16,000
for their career and their time at LSU to end.

740
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,759
Speaker 4: As far as the undrafted free agents, I'm a little

741
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:22,880
surprised y Alexander didn't get drafted. I understand he had

742
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,400
the knee injury two years ago, but he bounce back

743
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,240
in a big way this year. He was still a

744
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:29,200
really really good corner. I mean there were times this

745
00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:32,400
year like a buddy of mine would text me during

746
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,240
the Arkansas game and he was like, Hey, did I

747
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:36,920
Alexander not play? No, he played, you just didn't see

748
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,599
him all game because he shut down that side of

749
00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:41,039
the field. He did that a number of times this

750
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:43,599
past season throughout his career. Were you surprised to see

751
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,920
him not drafted? Because it wasn't. I mean me and

752
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,240
you were talking. It wasn't an especially deep cornerback draft.

753
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,119
Speaker 2: No it wasn't.

754
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,279
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean I am surprised because of what

755
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:58,079
you said. It's the way he bounced back from that

756
00:31:58,079 --> 00:32:00,279
that injury. And Zi's got good size, like.

757
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:02,599
Speaker 4: Having six for two, he's around two hundred pounds, Like

758
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,480
you don't lay that a lot, no length. He can

759
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:05,359
run pretty well.

760
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 5: I mean in in the sec he acquitted himself very

761
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:10,440
very well.

762
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:12,079
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy I think at.

763
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,799
Speaker 5: One point was like pro football focuses like second best

764
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,680
quarterback terms like so, I mean, that's surprising to me

765
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,119
that he didn't go in all seven rounds.

766
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,119
Speaker 2: I wouldn't expect things.

767
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:22,319
Speaker 5: I was going to be a first round pick or

768
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:24,200
even a Day two pick. It was probably gonna be

769
00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:26,640
Day three. But yeah, I'm very very surprised somebody did

770
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,200
not take a flyer on him because of the way

771
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,200
he bounced back from that injury.

772
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:33,039
Speaker 4: One other name I want to mention was the guy

773
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:34,960
that everybody was keeping their eye on just because of

774
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000
how good his pro day was. Josh Williams. I mean,

775
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:39,839
he ran a four to four in the forty. He

776
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,519
had the incredible vertical jump. We talked about the brawl jump,

777
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:44,559
and Josh was a really good player here for a

778
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:45,920
number of years. I know there's a lot of people

779
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,240
that are gonna say, oh, he's a walk on. Yeah,

780
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:50,599
but Josh, I mean he came in, he was everything

781
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,359
to this team for about three years. I mean he

782
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,200
was kind of your most reliable guy. Brian Kelly trusted

783
00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:57,920
him more than anybody on this team. You pair his

784
00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:01,400
solid college production, they really really good pro day. I

785
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,559
thought there was a chance he could get drafted. Now

786
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:05,240
he doesn't. That's not the big deal. What I want

787
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,680
to look at is where he got drafted. He goes

788
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,400
where he got signed. He signed as an undrafted free

789
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,119
agent to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is an unfortunate

790
00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:18,680
spot for Josh. I think this is a really tough spot.

791
00:33:19,319 --> 00:33:21,000
I think Josh is a good player. I think there's

792
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:23,200
a spot for him on a team. I don't know

793
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,279
if it's this team. You look at Tampa Bay, Bucky

794
00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:28,920
Irving was phenomenal as a rookie last year, one of

795
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,960
the best running backs in the league. They still have

796
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:34,000
for Shad Whitey bringing back Sean Tucker. I mean, that's

797
00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:36,480
a really good three headed monster out there in Tampa?

798
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,839
Speaker 2: Did they have room for a Josh Williams. I guess

799
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:40,559
this is my main.

800
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 5: Question, well, Taylor, and the answer to that question might

801
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:48,559
be an Another question is Josh Williams. We know the

802
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:49,839
type of player he is, you know the type of

803
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,799
fighter he is. Are they going to be able to

804
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,880
keep him off the team?

805
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

806
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,039
Speaker 5: A special teams guy, he could be a special teams guy.

807
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:00,279
I think he's definitely an option for their practice squad

808
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:04,359
as well. And if he doesn't catch on there, I

809
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,880
think somebody else will absolutely take another shot at him.

810
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,679
And you know the worker that Josh Williams is, he

811
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,920
feels like the type of guy at all he needs

812
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,880
a chance. I'm not telling you Josh Williams about to

813
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,559
go be a pro bowler and an All Pro running bucks.

814
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:17,280
I don't believe that, but I think he could be

815
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,880
a very good piece for an NFL team for a

816
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,519
good few years, just because of the work ethic and

817
00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:25,119
the multiple different things that he can do.

818
00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: From the running backs, the should and.

819
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,559
Speaker 5: That guy can obviously run block, he can, You've seen him.

820
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:31,239
You have success running the football. You can catch the

821
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,039
ball with the backfield like and it's just the way

822
00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:37,320
he works. I mean, that's the kind of guy you

823
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,480
see coming as the undrafted free agent and make a

824
00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:41,840
team somewhere, not saying it'll be with Tampa Bay. That's

825
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,320
the kind of guy you see coming and make a

826
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,079
team somewhere.

827
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,199
Speaker 4: Well to your point, Look, I was just talking about

828
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,280
the good running back room the Tampas, and they do

829
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,320
and all those guys catch the ball out of the backfield.

830
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,079
I'll tell you what, none of them do. You go

831
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,360
rewatch the Tampa Bay games. They're all running routes and

832
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,360
none of them are good pass blockers. Josh Williams a

833
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:01,360
very very good pass block. As good as the run

834
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,119
blocking was for Tampa, their pass blocking was kind of spotty.

835
00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:06,159
I mean, you saw this saying to get to Baker

836
00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:08,440
Mayfield in that second quarter. Remember when the Saints ultimately

837
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,079
took the lead. He forced Baker into two bad interceptions

838
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:13,000
because he had to rush and throw the ball because

839
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:15,239
your pass rush was getting to him. They weren't a

840
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,599
great pass blocking team. None of their running backs are

841
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:20,199
that great at pass blocking. So yeah, if Josh Williams

842
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,920
can get out there, he's the type of guy that

843
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,920
all he needs is an opportunity and he can make

844
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,039
that happen. Greg Penn still unsigned. That's kind of the

845
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,519
yeah one we were talking about.

846
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 5: I didn't think Greg Pam would get drafted, but I

847
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:36,800
definitely thought somebody would sign him as the undrafted free agent.

848
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:39,800
So that part has surprised me up to this point.

849
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,800
I mean, I can give a check see if it's happened.

850
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,119
Speaker 4: I mean I haven't seen it anywhere, but look, you

851
00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:49,679
know it was Greg the fascism of astic guy here.

852
00:35:50,039 --> 00:35:52,840
No he wasn't. But Greg Penn was never out of position.

853
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:55,400
He was always there to make the play. He was

854
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,000
a smart guy. I mean he was awarded eighteen for

855
00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:00,360
a reason, right, I mean, this coaching staff trust him.

856
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,239
I think if Greg bin gets a shot a lot

857
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,840
like a Josh Williams, I think I think there's a

858
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,920
chance he makes a team if he eventually gets picked.

859
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 2: Up for sure. Yeah, I mean I do too. That's

860
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,000
the thing.

861
00:36:08,039 --> 00:36:10,599
Speaker 5: I'm just surprised no one took like a shot like

862
00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:14,159
UDFA deal somewhere there. So that that is that part

863
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,760
surprising me. Not that he went undrafted, all right, so

864
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,360
kind of put a bow on it. We had seven

865
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,440
Tigers drafted.

866
00:36:20,039 --> 00:36:22,639
Speaker 4: We have five more at the moment, Major Burns, Zia,

867
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:26,719
Alexander g Opiez, Josh Williams parashand all have signed deals

868
00:36:27,079 --> 00:36:29,519
as undrafted free agents. Sorry, we get back. We're gonna

869
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:31,880
wrap up hour number two of Off the Bench.

870

00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,840
Off the Bench, This one here is for a Landra

913
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,119
because we got UFC coming to New Orleans and Landra.

914
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,519
How fired up are we?

915
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 8: I'm very fired up a bit. Yeah, we knew about

916
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,000
this us back in February. We talked to him super

917
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,079
Bowl week media row and he told us that this

918
00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:07,639
was in the plan and in the cards.

919
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,559
Speaker 6: So really excited about this.

920
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:15,079
Speaker 8: Every Max Holloway and Dustin Poree fight is an instant classic,

921
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,719
so should be a good one.

922
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 6: His retirement fight here in.

923
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,039
Speaker 8: New Orleans where it all start, or well, not in

924
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,360
New Orleans, he's from laugh yet, but in Louisiana where

925
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,719
it all started. So and that's what he was saying,

926
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,559
that he wanted to lay the gloves down where it

927
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:31,880
all started. So really excited about it. Hopefully I can

928
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,440
make my way there somehow. But yeah, it should be

929
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,400
a good one. I was about say, I didn't see

930
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,280
the rest of the card.

931
00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 2: That's what my question was.

932
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,679
Speaker 4: They have the undercard yet, let me see, and I

933
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,000
know by any means necessary, you will find a way

934
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:45,400
out there.

935
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,599
Speaker 2: That's happening.

936
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 8: I have to Gordy Gordy, if you're listening, help me out.

937
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,559
Speaker 4: I know somebody from three to six he'll he'll be

938
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:55,440
there as well. Movies, are you a big UFC guy?

939
00:39:56,039 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say a big UFC guy.

940
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 6: I like the US Preyer Halloway by the way, I.

941
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,199
Speaker 2: Will like I will watch it, but I normally watched

942
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,480
most of it during like the summer, when there might

943
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,920
not be anything else going on. Well, July nineteenth, Yeah,

944
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:11,679
so I'd love to be there as well.

945
00:40:11,679 --> 00:40:13,559
Speaker 5: Man, that just would be an awesome Like it's a

946
00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:15,679
bucket list thing for me to go to a UFC fight.

947
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 4: My brother called me Thursday when they thought this whole

948
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,039
thing was coming down, and he was like, hey, we going.

949
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,679
Speaker 2: It's like, man, I don't know how much your tickets.

950
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 4: He's like, I don't know, probably like two hundred and

951
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,440
fifty a person Like we'll see, man, we'll see.

952
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 6: We'll see what happens to be there.

953
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,119
Speaker 2: You will you will find a way.

954
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I know you, you will find it with

955
00:40:33,679 --> 00:40:34,880
there's no question about it.

956
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,159
Speaker 2: Okay, Well who do we like? Early on? Who do

957
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:37,480
we like?

958
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 8: So you can't ever count Max Holloway out of a fight,

959
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,039
and you can't.

960
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: Ever cat Max's so scrappy.

961
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:47,039
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you can't ever count Dustin out of fight

962
00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:49,800
obviously either, so it's gonna be a really good one.

963
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,480
I think the last time they matched up, Dustin took

964
00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:54,719
that one. I can't remember what the first one was, Like,

965
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,719
I think Dustin won both of those.

966
00:40:57,199 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: So it's hard to beat somebody three dumbs.

967
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is hard to be somebody three times. But uh,

968
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,840
it's just all of is really exciting. I'm hoping Dustin

969
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,199
wins for his retirement.

970
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,519
Speaker 2: Well yeah, like in Louisian, I guess it's good.

971
00:41:10,559 --> 00:41:12,559
Speaker 4: Like he's not taking an easy way out either, like

972
00:41:12,599 --> 00:41:13,480
Halloway's legit.

973
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I think I'm gonna put my money on

974
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:18,960
Dustin here.

975
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 6: It feels like he might be.

976
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 8: I don't know if there's any odds out yet, but

977
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,920
it feels like he's probably gonna be the favorite just

978
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,440
considering the circumstances.

979
00:41:25,519 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 6: But I am hyped up for this one.

980
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fired up for it as well.

981
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 8: Hopefully we can get another. Hopefully we can get Dustin

982
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:35,360
on again.

983
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 6: That'd be cool.

984
00:41:36,519 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I know somebody in the studio who knows him,

985
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,920
so maybe maybe that can't happen. I wonder if this

986
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,599
is like a side of things to come for New Orleans, because, like,

987
00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:46,039
you know, this is there's a market down here for it.

988
00:41:46,039 --> 00:41:47,880
I mean I know a ton of people like yeah,

989
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,559
obviously Landra and and Matter big UFC.

990
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,559
Speaker 2: Fans, that's just two people.

991
00:41:51,639 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 4: Like I know a ton of people who are big,

992
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,000
big fight fans here in Louisiana. Like, yeah, there is

993
00:41:56,079 --> 00:41:58,760
certainly a market for it here. New Orleans is a

994
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,079
great spot. You have multiple been used to do it. Like,

995
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:04,320
I think this could be the start of, like you know,

996
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,119
three years down the road, we're looking like once a

997
00:42:06,199 --> 00:42:07,280
year there's a UFC fight.

998
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,519
Speaker 8: That'd be pretty cool. I mean, well, we talked about

999
00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:12,840
it during Super Bowl Week. I mean, people show up

1000
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,480
and show out to New Orleans. It's anything for anything,

1001
00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:18,480
So I think people make the trip. It's one of

1002
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,400
those places where maybe not to us, but other people

1003
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,559
who've never been to New Orleans.

1004
00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:25,639
Speaker 6: It's like a bucket list thing. So there's like a.

1005
00:42:25,639 --> 00:42:28,039
Speaker 8: UFC fight and you get the chance to go to

1006
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:31,880
New Orleans at the same time. I think it'll be good,

1007
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,000
but it'll be either way. Having more UFC fights in

1008
00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:39,079
New Orleans would be awesome. I'd have to go to

1009
00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:40,280
like every single one of them.

1010
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 4: Well, and also like it's perfect timing, right because like

1011
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,199
baseball season will be over, yeah in July, there's nothing

1012
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,000
really going on. Like true, that's a big time event

1013
00:42:48,079 --> 00:42:51,440
here in a sports craves city like New Orleans.

1014
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 2: Like that's perfect.

1015
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 4: It's kind of your your gap between baseball and football

1016
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:56,239
season rolling around.

1017
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, And the last time it happened, I think it

1018
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,719
was like the last time Dustin fought here was like

1019
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,199
in twenty fourteen, So it's been a minute since they

1020
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,639
since they came to New Orleans, all right.

1021
00:43:06,559 --> 00:43:10,199
Speaker 2: Before we go to in that long game, so yeah.

1022
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 6: If I'm remembering correctly, Yeah.

1023
00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:14,559
Speaker 4: Before we go to break here, want to give a

1024
00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:16,800
quick recap. We only have about two minutes left of

1025
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,360
LSU softball over the weekend. So Game one went about

1026
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,559
as bad as you could possibly imagine. They get run

1027
00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:25,960
ruled by Florida fourteen to four in six innings.

1028
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 2: Florida tore the cover off of the ball. This was

1029
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:29,719
a Jaden Heavener.

1030
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 4: I mean, she goes two innings, it gives up four runs,

1031
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,800
three strikeouts. She has been super solid all year long,

1032
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,800
not on Saturday. This is a for what it's worth,

1033
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,239
a Saturday, Sunday, Monday. So Game three is tonight, a

1034
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,039
deciding Game three, because yesterday there was a thriller two

1035
00:43:46,119 --> 00:43:49,760
to one. LSU takes down Florida in Tiger Park. This

1036
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:54,320
game was zero to zero heading into the fifth inning.

1037
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,800
In the bottom of the fifth, LSU gets a solo

1038
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,880
home run from Torri Edwards makes it one to nothing.

1039
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,199
Florida answers in the top of the sixth. LSU goes

1040
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:05,320
into the bottom of the seventh ning tied one to

1041
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,280
one and they walk it off. They get an RBI

1042
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,239
double by Sierra Daniel is a single at RBI single,

1043
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,360
I should say to score the winning run on. LSU

1044
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,800
wins two to nothing over the Florida Gators. Really good matchup.

1045
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,719
I'm excited for Game three. I mean, this is an

1046
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,719
LSU team thirty eight and eleven on the year, Florida

1047
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,360
forty one and eleven. Both of these teams similar conference records.

1048
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,280
LSU ten and ten, Florida twelve and eight. Again, Game

1049
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,840
three coming up tonight in Tiger Park at about five pm. Right,

1050
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,119
that's going to do it for hour number two of

1051
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,679
Off the Bench. We were NFL draft heavy coming up

1052
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,599

1053
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,199

00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:54,679
gonna hop one give us his thoughts on lsu versus Tennessee.

1055
00:44:55,199 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for that.

1056
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 4: Worlds are gonna close things out like we do every day,

1057
00:44:58,599 --> 00:45:00,480
