Speaker 1: All Star Toyota Presents Off the Bench. We have Jacob
Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down, then science gets denied.
Speaker 2: This I gotta come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Mercedes
Benz Baton Rouge Studio starts now.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in hour number two OTV.
Speaker 4: Before we answer Flynn's question or holders people too, I
do want to make sure I close the book on
the schedule conversation that we had because LSU did come
in at number eleven. When you look at average opponent
win total seven point two. To round out the top
ten at number ten, Texas A and M at number nine,
South Carolina at number eight, the Joja Bulldogs at number seven,
the Florida Gators at number six, Alabama number five, Arkansas
Razorbacks four, Kentucky poor son of a gun, Mississippi State
at number three, Vanderbilt at number two, and the Oklahoma
Sooners at number one. It says here Oklahoma did not
get a warm welcome to the SEC with a tough
schedule last year, and it is a gauntlet again in
twenty twenty five. The Sooners must play Texas Ole, miss Alabama,
and LSU. They also played Missouri and South Carolina, two
programs that competed for a playoff spot in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Good luck, Brenton Vinables.
Speaker 2: Yeah, show us some life this year.
Speaker 3: Oklahoma, they have got a nice job of adding to
the roster.
Speaker 2: But we talked about this last week.
Speaker 5: I mean, you're an Oklahoma Sooners fan, you expect them
to be in the conversation at least of a conference
championship every year. No, I mean I did it there
early in the SEC, but at the bare minimum middle
of the pack, not bottom of the pack.
Speaker 2: So show some life.
Speaker 4: What did Mississippi State and Kentucky do to the league office?
They made somebody mad. Have y'all seen both those schedules? Man,
I know you've been doing it time my memory.
Speaker 2: Give it to you, go ahead. I think they played
the Saints.
Speaker 4: They do Mississippi State at Southern Miss. It's a choice,
Arizona State at home.
Speaker 2: Wait there at Southern Miss at Southern Miss. That's ans
as bad as Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: What are we doing? Well?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's not like two lane because two
lane is actually really good.
Speaker 3: You know, going to tes. Maybe we went to the Superdome.
Speaker 5: I mean, you would think that even Southern myths would
want to play there because usually when they go play,
they're getting paid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at the gate.
Speaker 4: But so at Southern Miss, Arizona State and at home,
who made the Coast Football Playoff last year, expected to
be really good with Sam Levit at quarterback, Alcorn State
at home, Northern Illinois at home, who beat Notre Dame
last year. You get Tennessee at home at Texas, A
and M at Florida, Texas at Arkansas, Georgia at Missouri,
and Ole Miss. So they play Arizona State playoff team,
Tennessee playoff team, Texas playoff team, Georgia playoff team at.
Speaker 6: Least their home games.
Speaker 7: Sure at Florida and at A and M. We were
just talking about that with LSU, Like you get to
avoid that.
Speaker 3: Man, not them. Hey, you can look at it as
just a huge opportunity, you could.
Speaker 5: It's our chance. It's our chance to be four playoff
teams last year. Boys, like a statement.
Speaker 3: For Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Who's also on that is Toledo at home, Old Miss
at home, Eastern Michigan at home at South Carolina at Georgia,
Texas Tennessee at Auburn, Florida, Tennessee Tech at Vanderbilt at Louisville.
Speaker 3: I don't know if my boy mark that.
Speaker 6: One feels tougher than the state one.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of ats, it's a lot of ads.
Speaker 4: And even the games you're at South Carolina, you're at Georgia,
you're at Auburn, you're at Vandy, you're at Louisville. Even
the home games it's Ole, Miss, Texas, Tennessee and Florida.
Speaker 5: This is this is a if you look, let's just
say your stoops and you're going into the season. You're
the guys that you have on your team, They're not dumb.
They see the schedule. What is your messaging to the team.
Because most most coaches, no matter the circumstance. I mean,
we did it when we played for the Tennis Allen
was our coach for the Raiders. Like you still before
the season you talk super Bowl like this is our
goal was to win the championship, blah blah blah. And
that's what every coach I've ever been around, that's their
preseason goal. Like you come up from a program at
Misissippi State like Kentucky and then you look at the schedule,
your kids know what's happening, your kids know you've got
to go, and the difficulty. But so what is the
messaging do you avoid like big picture talk?
Speaker 3: Do you just like take it is your is your clear.
Speaker 5: Message that you're painting in front of all these kids
to believe in every single day, like be a pest,
be like take it week by week, because there's certainly
you have to avoid talking about like impossible things. Right,
not to say anything's impossible in sports, I get it,
but it sure certainly seems like it by looking at
the schedule. So what does that messaging look like If
you were the coach, I think I would keep it
real short term, yeah, and very very short term messaging.
Speaker 4: Right, And Charles, we also know that it's the same
opponents from last year. So that's how the schedule laid
out the first two years, and they made a point
of emphasis to say this is how it's going to
be the first two years and then we'll change it up.
But here's a couple of things, Charles, that are different,
all right, location, because that flips, so that matters. And
also how good these teams are from what it looked
like a year ago. So last you know, last year,
when lu was playing Vanderbilt at the beginning of the season,
nobody thought that would be anything, or Florida for that matter,
and then it looked like Florida wasn't going to be
any good, and well they turned out they went on
a run, and Vanderbilt turns out they were pretty damn
good last year. So that's what's different about it this
year compared to last year. It might be the same opponents,
but those opponents look different. Tennessee makes a playoff run, right,
so that kind of changes the narrative of their program.
If you had at Auburn, well you might have thought
that was more difficult than it actually turned out to be.
So where you play them, where they're at in the
schedule too, that matters.
Speaker 3: We keep saying it over.
Speaker 4: And over again, and from our experience, that matters, Like
where these games are scheduled. So the fact that you've
got to play Florida now in the third game, that's
different than playing them in the back end of the season.
So the opponents might be the same, but the locations changed,
the teams themselves have changed, and also where they're placing
your schedule, like all of that matters whenever you're talking
about SEC football.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, yes, you're you're playing and you could
say that like when we first brought a strength to
schedule like one through sixteen, Like, yeah, the strength to
schedule in the SEC.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, but it's always going to be tough.
It's the SEC.
Speaker 5: It's the best conference in the country for a reason
because nobody has an easy schedule. But it just you
have to look at when you rank these things. You
have to look at timing of the year, what they
did last year, the preseason coming up, and then home
in a way is the big thing. So I mean,
we all know it doesn't matter if you're playing a
bottom of the tier team in the SEC, middle of
the team, top tier. Being at home is a huge advantage,
you know. I think I think I think bookkeepers say
in college football that it's like three points. I believe
if you're the hometown, yeah, he get three points. So
if it's an even match or you're a home you'll
be minus three. Right, that's kind of a rough number.
I mean I would say it might be even minus four.
Speaker 2: In the SEC.
Speaker 5: Uh, it just makes that big of a difference. So yeah,
I mean it turns out like last year they got
a little bit of break. This year, you know, chickens
have come home.
Speaker 3: Man, those two schedules right there, that is very tough.
Speaker 2: What an opportunity, boys, what.
Speaker 3: An opportunity to shock the world? Shocked the world. The
Lon's point.
Speaker 4: At least Missipi State does have the backing of the
cow bells at home for some of those games. Kentucky, Oh,
you better bring some of that bourbon from home to
those road tips.
Speaker 3: Because you might need it after the game.
Speaker 5: I get a question about one of those teams that
they that has a tough schedule, So Vanderbilt. They I
was thinking about their quarterback Diogo Pavia and like the
success that he had last year, right and I was,
I was thinking about his success that he had.
Speaker 2: Can you compare it to.
Speaker 5: When teams are facing something they're not really expected, Like
somebody that plays a little off schedule at a certain
position plays a little bit different. The guy is a
great football player in a meathead, but he doesn't play
the quarterback like a normal traditional quarterback will play. Is
that something that one year later after teams have they're
not underestimating him, not underestimate Vanderbilt anymore because we all
have fallen into that trap for sure, years and years
and right going all the way back to bad body language, Jay, Yeah,
for and rightfully. So it is a team that could
be overlooked this year, it ain't gonna happen. So do
you say, I think the question can be made, does
Diego Pavia's success go down this year because last year
was a little bit about a little bit of the okay,
and I didn't have time to break for this.
Speaker 4: And they had I don't want to say gimmicky because
I always find that. No, it's not innovative offense where
it was a little bit of the kiss method, but
they ran it so efficiently. Yep, and they did a
really nice job of keeping you guessing and you didn't
really know. Now that they have a full year of that,
sure are they going to be better prepared. So, not
even individually, but just schematically as well.
Speaker 5: I mean and schematically this is not the same. I'm
just painting an example here, Like you face a triple
option team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's difficult the first time.
Speaker 5: The next time it's a lot easier because you guys
have seen it, you know, as coaches, you know how
to prepare for it. So my thought is, and I'm
not saying I'm not giving like a prediction yet on this,
but I think the question could be made that Diga
Pavia could be less successful this year because people have
more time to prepare on a playing a quarterback that's
a little bit off schedule than most traditional quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: You see, it's all right.
Speaker 4: We have our double agent, Alandra villar Real on Diego
Pavia at all times.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: She made sure that he didn't play well in Tiger Stadium. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I saw him at an after party in Nashville up
to him, gave him a little talk, got in his
head a little bit, and he did terrible.
Speaker 2: Nice what'd you say?
Speaker 6: I was like, Hey, I was like, dude, take it
easy on us.
Speaker 5: No, that's that's good, Like right all overtime, Yeah good.
Speaker 6: The tight end.
Speaker 8: Eli and the o lineman that was there too, Like,
they did not perform that.
Speaker 3: A little.
Speaker 2: They want to be champions. They got to cut the
partying out.
Speaker 3: So you're party at all.
Speaker 7: So your point about the Pavia thing, somebody I thought
of was Steven Garcia at South Carolina. So it was
actually his second year starting when they had the success.
They went like nine to three. I think the bowl
game got him like ten games. It was when they
went into Touscaloosa beat Alabama and all that, and I
was like, I remember that was twenty ten. I was like,
I remember the year after he wasn't good. He wasn't
good at all because South Carolina wasn't sneaking up on people.
In twenty eleven, he played in five games, four touchdowns,
nine picks, got benched. Interest, So like that that was
like the first guy I thought of. And so I mean,
to your point, he's sneaking up on anybody this year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't want to like take any credit
away from him because I think he I love watching
him play like that is a guy that is fun
to watch play college football. I just think that the
question can certainly be brought up, and I think we'll
probably have some predictions about that later when we get
closer to college football season starting. But I think it's
something to look into a year more to prepare for them.
Speaker 6: So I just looked it up.
Speaker 8: The Cmas are a month after we play Vanderbilt, so
I might have to make a trip up there. Yeah, yeah,
or no, build him up like no, I got it, like,
just really put the charm on him. So I think
he was just probably thinking about me during the game
and he was like, dang, that girl had so much confidence.
Speaker 6: In me that she asked me to take it easy
on her team.
Speaker 2: I can fit that ball in that tight window. Pick b. Yeah,
tell him you get a Heisman vote and you're voting
for him.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3: I do have a Heisman vote.
Speaker 6: You can just say I have two Heisman votes.
Speaker 3: You can just hey, our show has a Heisman vote.
That way, I'm not lying.
Speaker 2: Hold, I gotta do this radio thing before I get one,
like two.
Speaker 4: Months, maybe maybe a little bit longer in that, maybe
a little bit.
Speaker 6: He also is shorter than advertised.
Speaker 3: I believe that because I think he's listed at six feet.
Speaker 6: I had heels on that was taller than him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a little fella shoddy stuff. Uh.
Speaker 4: To your point though, about being prepared and the second
time you see somebody, if I'm an A and M fan,
I'm a little bit worried about Marcel Reid, hmm, because
I think once you get the book on him, now, look,
he crushed l Su. Lsu wasn't ready for it elshe
was getting after Texas A and M, and they had
a great game plan initially and then once he came
to the game, obviously they couldn't make that adjustment and
at them won the game.
Speaker 3: But Marcel reads a quarterback.
Speaker 4: He threw six interceptions last year, only fifteen touchdowns, sixty
percent completion percentage right around that, I can see him
going down as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't too. I mean, he's he's gonna be
He's gonna be one of those guys that you would
you would think he's gonna have some games, some really
good games, but the odds are I think his defenses
will figure out how to stop and now he's gonna
pop off and make us plays like he's gonna make it.
Speaker 3: He'll make sense.
Speaker 2: He's gonna make his plays.
Speaker 5: But to consistently do it throughout the duration of entire game,
let alone a duration of entire season, uh, is gonna
be a challenge.
Speaker 2: Now, Like we also want to.
Speaker 5: Like also emphasize that there's a long offseason and these
kids are so young and they're growing, Like these kids
can make huge improvements that behind closed doors that nobody sees,
and and and things happen like look at look at
Jayden from your one year too, look at Joe Burrow
from when you're one year two. There's huge improvements. The
foundation was there, like you knew they could do it,
you knew they were great. Kind of like Marcel a
little bit, like you knew you've seen him play well.
Does he have the skill set and the ability to
make different jumps?
Speaker 3: I don't know. We will see, but I agree with
you on that.
Speaker 5: I think that there is a there's a chance there
that defenses can figure figure it out.
Speaker 3: All right when we come back, are you gonna tell
us yearholders are real people too? Yeah? We got weekend
winners coming up at thirty.
Speaker 5: I mean people want to know. So that's a big too.
We just keep teasing it. I mean, can we stacking
them up?
Speaker 3: Can we? Did you do it in the NFL?
Speaker 2: I did it one year?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was holder one year.
Speaker 4: Tony Romo low Ki screwed that up for every quarterback.
Like on, we'll make fun of Tony Romo, We'll make
fun of cowboys. We'll tell you why holders are real people.
We will not do that when it's Tony Romo and
he's in a playoff game and he screws it for
the cowboys. Sorry, Tay, Let's relive that weekend winners a
day thirty stay with us, predict that off the bench.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Joe is coming back there pretty fast. Speaking of fast,
Highlanders go fast. Don't know how to do that, don't know.

Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTV Matt Flynn before he
say to bed, this is ready.
Speaker 3: This is a good song for no id love audio.
Speaker 4: Actually, just so we reallyive the entire moment. Here is
the moment where people like myself Matt Flynn could not
continue being holders in the NFL because of this one person.
In this one moment, he totally ruined it for the
rest of us.
Speaker 3: This stumble.
Speaker 9: He's gonna get tackled by Jordan Babino. Amazing, unbelievable.
Speaker 3: You go crazy? Is this? I mean that was even
closer than fall. Just be faster. Watch it right here?
Speaker 4: Oh oh, my God, and then he still had a
chance if he talks it right there and runs. And
if you're obviously listening on the radio, it is the
Cowboys versus the Seahawks in the postseason chip shot field goal,
the Cowboys, perfect snap, the Cowboys are down to going
to take the lead, gonna be up by one with
about a minute left. Romo totally fumbles it. And from
this moment on, special team coordinators would no longer allow
quarterbacks or any other position player to be whole because
they felt like, Okay, if I put my punter in
that situation, he's not as good of an athlete, but
all practice long, all day long, he can catch one hundred,
two hundred snaps and he's gonna be ready for every moment.
This completely took a position away from some people and
gave it to punters.
Speaker 5: You know what, if Romo is just a little bit faster,
or if the kicker would have just got a little
piece of twenty seven right there, he.
Speaker 3: Almost picked up the first down. He almost do because
you could get a first down on that play too.
Speaker 5: But yeah, so I held one year in Green Bay.
But just like you said, it's usually the punter because
they have all day, Like all all they do is
you know, kick balls obviously, so they have a lot
of downtime. So yeah, they get a lot of time
to practice. So if any they might not be a
better holder than a quarterback, but they got time to
get that chemistry. So I was a holder one year
in Green Bay with Mason Crosby kicking, and you know,
only got probably like ten or fifteen holds with him
a week in practice, like in actual like practice live situations,
like I would practice some like they'd send me over
there for like a five minute special teams individual period,
but like my quarterback coach is like, now I need
him here doing quarterback drill. So if it's a ten
minute individual, I'll send him over there for two minutes.
Speaker 2: Get a few holes in.
Speaker 5: But that Mason didn't have a great year that year
and or at the time, so it was kind of
like caught a lot of the flat but it was
because of that chemistry. I mean it's like, dang, you know,
you caught a stray. No I'm not gonna say it's
a stray. We just didn't get to work on it
as much. So I mean I get it if you're
not comfortable like if I if I had to take
a snap.
Speaker 3: Man, if you're telling us how bad Flynn was, if.
Speaker 5: I didn't take a snap from like a center at quarter,
Like if I'm playing quarterback taking just an undercenter snap
from a guy that only get to take ten snaps
from a week, I wouldn't feel very comfortable either. I'd
be thinking about the snap more than anything. So I'm
sure the kickers thinking about the hold. But there's a
lot of Like I've taken it from Hester for years
and it's really pissed me off a lot. He has
told me for years that placeholders are not real.
Speaker 4: Okay, y'all, y'all, so we did research and blame Bash
who was a holder for the three team actually like
he was a part of this as well. The extra
point field goal doesn't count as an actual play towards lettering.
There was like an n C double a is like
a bilall.
Speaker 2: Like, that's absolutely not true.
Speaker 3: I'll pull up the actual rule.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, it wasn't that it was. It doesn't
count as a statistic. I think some sort of stat
But because because I was a four year letterman holding.
Speaker 4: I think Flynn is fraudulent and saying that he is
a letterman for four years.
Speaker 7: See let's see what the official lasuy website so.
Speaker 8: Like violent typing, so bad, So it doesn't count towards.
Speaker 2: So if you're a holder, listen, if you're a holder,
let me say this.
Speaker 4: Hold on, I remember now, if you're a holder, it
you don't like you know, like somebody charts the plays
that everybody plays, Like if I was on kickoff check,
if I was running back check, full back check, extra
point field goal, the holder does not count as a
play credited to you.
Speaker 3: We found that stat out.
Speaker 4: So if you didn't get here's a play, did you,
letter it's kind.
Speaker 5: Of like you can take that for any position. So
you can look at offensive line, like, there's not a
stat for good block. There's only stats for bad stuff.
Right offensive on, you get a pancake every now and then. Uh,
for a quarterback, you make a great handoff for a
great check, there's no stat for hey, great check right there?
Speaker 2: Oh nice handoff, dude.
Speaker 5: No, So when you start for four years with one
hundred percent amazing holds, yeah, there's no stat because there's
no stat for great hold.
Speaker 2: But I did it four years boom for your letterman.
And then guess what.
Speaker 5: In the NFL, I was a holder for one year,
and at that time you got like the player performance
bonus for every snap. So if in the NFL, I
don't know if it's still the same with a new
collective bargain or whatever, but I'm assuming it there's a
concept of this still in play, which is the less
money you got. So guys that were under a league minimum,
they tried to like even it out a little bit.
I'm giving you a player performance bonus. Yeah, so based
on like some formulation, depend on the money you were
making per play, you would get certain amount of dollars.
Speaker 3: So like most people.
Speaker 5: On minimum, like a rookie minimum contract or like a
second third year player, they might get three or four
hundred dollars for every play that they run.
Speaker 4: Right, that's changed in the new CBA. I think actually
the CBA that we were a part of the last
big change in twelve, I think that changed, gotcha.
Speaker 5: But at the time, like the guys are making a
lot of money would get like fifty cents a play
or whatever it was like, so they tried to like
reward people that stepped in and played a lot. And
so when I was holding, I was like, I was
like a second year guy. I was like, yeah, let's
kick a lot of field goals and extra points and
we were good on offense too.
Speaker 3: Yeah. My I will never forget.
Speaker 4: So my rookie year, I mean I was I was
a third round pick, so I was a league minimum.
But I ended up starting and playing a ton that year,
and I didn't I did not know that there was a.
Speaker 3: Player of performing. I had no idea. I didn't know.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget this. I was at Perkins Row. It's
when they had z gallery right there. Katie was in
there picking out a cow. My agent calls me and
I'm like, hey, it's the all season who knows. Hopefully
I'm not getting cut. Let's go see what they got
to say. So I'm almost fun amazing. He say, hey,
you you get that check yet. I was like check
for what? It's a player performance. I'm like, like, Jim,
what's the player perfessor?
Speaker 2: Know that?
Speaker 4: He's like, uh, it's based off your contract and how
many plays you plays, Like you haven't seen the number
you're getting. I was like no, He goes, let me
send it to you. I should say, I'll never forget
where I was the situation.
Speaker 2: Well, it's the sing of everything.
Speaker 4: Oh my got the surprise and then I was like,
I'm getting what he's like, Yeah, you didn't know.
Speaker 3: It was like I had no idea. He goes, well,
I guess I'm not very good at my job. I
was like, yeah, you're not. You probably told me. I
probably just didn't listen, like, well you're fired. Yeah, they
got rid of that, or they got rid of that.
It's no longer a thing.
Speaker 5: They that's kind of a shame. I don't know why
it wouldn't be a thing, but I guess they've raised,
like the minimum so much.
Speaker 2: Have you seen those league minimums?
Speaker 3: The league minimum when we came it was two eighty
five or.
Speaker 4: I think it's up to seven hundred thousand dollars league
minimum right.
Speaker 2: Now for that's rookie minimum.
Speaker 4: Yeah, VET minimums over a million now. VET minimum by
the time you get vested was there was a like
eight hundred something like that some somewhere around them. But
again there was guys like rookies, undrafted free agent guys
that made the team. And two hundred ninety five thousand
dollars is a lot of money. It's a lot of money.
Do not get me wrong, but after you pay California taxes,
league dues because you got paid the NFLPA to be
a part of it.
Speaker 3: There was there was guys.
Speaker 4: There was like three guys that would room together that
were undrafted free agents or six seventh round picks. They
would all room together to be able to like you know,
afford a nice place in can Dia.
Speaker 5: And especially playing like your position too. And that's why
this should change, like the finding rule, because you're you're
expecting at least a couple of five, ten, fifteen thousand
dollars fines like throughout a year because of some sort
of chop block or something that's not malicious. It just
happens in the over the course. Like there's people that
get fined all season long that a penalty wasn't called,
so like you would never know that this guy would
get fined because something happened on the back side of
a play that was missed, like nobody caught.
Speaker 2: But the NFL sees it. They see everything.
Speaker 4: I got one against It was against y'all when you
were in Seattle to try cheap shot my boys. I
got it was hands to the face against y'all's middle linebacker.
Didn't get called in the game. I didn't remember it
at all, and I got like a five thousand dollars fine.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker 4: Like I didn't get a penalty this week, and they're like, oh,
your hand went up to the face mask of the linebacker.
They didn't catch it, but we saw it as we
reviewed tape. I'm like, hell, kind of nark or y'all
going back and watching tape. Something didn't get called in
a game and you're finding somebody five grand what are
we doing here?
Speaker 3: And then they wouldn't reduce it.
Speaker 4: Like a lot of times you can get it reduced,
like twenty five hundred, they wouldn't reduce it, would not reduce.
Speaker 3: Come on, I got so I got foued twice.
Speaker 4: That was one, and that threw a ball like into
the second deck worth it against the Raiders one year.
That got reduced because Teddy Cantrell, who was in charge
of the fines, was our former defensive coordinator in San Diego.
Speaker 3: My Teddy, look, I got real excited.
Speaker 4: I had my church buddies, they were sitting up there
in the second deck. I told him, if I scored
in this end zone, I was gonna throw it up
there to them. He's like, Okay, I'll give you a break.
Speaker 3: I got it. I get but in half I gotta.
Speaker 5: Find ones for what unnecessary roughness? No big deal you
did for a quarterback to get that. Like I was,
I was so pumped. I wasn't like I wasn't like
crazy excited about the circumstance. Because it was Week seventeen
in two thousand and nine. We're playing in Arizona, last
game of the season, We're already guaranteed to make the playoffs.
It was just kind of like a seeding situation at
that time, or we're blowing them out or beating them
at like thirty. So I get I get in the
game at the end and we're running down the field.
We're gonna run our offense. Let's get you some resps. Well, yeah,
we run it to the red zone and I throw something.
I throw a pick and the guy catches it. And uh,
guy from the Cardinals, I can't remember who it was.
I know Early do Set was on that team, but
he wasn't playing either.
Speaker 3: Patrick Peterson.
Speaker 5: He was running down the sideline and so he had
a convoy And I was like, that referee you were
talking about in the law tech. Like, I was like,
all right, this is it. I put my head down,
started pumping the arms. I was probably running like four
to three. This time I was killed. So I beat
the convoy down. And so they're going into score and
it's a guy running it and he's got like three
guys in.
Speaker 2: Front of him, and it's just me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm like, well, I got some life decisions
to make, right here?
Speaker 2: Do I just do?
Speaker 5: I do the thing where quarterbacks look wimpy, and I
just kind of like shake my arms and do this.
I can't tackle the guy because I don't have the
skill set to shed three blockers at full speed down
the sideline. So I'm like, all right, let's let's just
do the bowling bowling alley situation. Let me go and
just cut the hell out of the lead guy. And
so in my mind, like it looked sweet probably, but
like I probably just like crumpled at his feet or something.
But I cut him at his knees and the guy
has to stop, and he has to he has to
cut back up the field, which allowed my other guys
to catch up and tackle him.
Speaker 2: Great play by me.
Speaker 5: I feel like, yeah, got a fine, got a penalty
and a fine five.
Speaker 2: It was five. I got to reduce a twenty five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I probably still have that piece of paper.
He says, you got fined week seventeen by unnecessary roughness.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My wife was not very happy about to find that
I got. Hey, dummy, don't throw the ball into the stands.
I got one fifteen yard penalty in college and it
was because of a flint interception as well. We won't
tell that story, but we will take a break more
OTB with some weekend winters when we come.
Speaker 1: Back off the bench.
Speaker 2: Right on me on the bus man.
Speaker 3: You threw a pick and I got a fifteen yard penalty?
What was throwing you under the bus?
Speaker 2: It was played within the rules.

Speaker 3: Shout out Nana, rest in peace and uh.
Speaker 4: We went to the music store Sam Goodie and she
let us pick me and my older brother a single
cassette tape. My brother Adam went with Buster Rhymes, Got
you All in Check. I went with back in this
song and we thought we had gotten one over on
our parents.
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, would I get today at the mall.
Speaker 4: Grandma told him, oh, really put it in the cassette tabe.
Speaker 3: Let's hear it.
Speaker 4: I got more trouble for this one than my brother
that did for Busta Rhymes, which doesn't feel right.
Speaker 3: Well, this one attacks yourself, confide, Yeah, that's what that was.
What we can deal with the cursing. We can tell you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's adult like at the time.
Speaker 4: I didn't understand though, but yeah, that was my parental's
message as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think as a parent I don't like this song.
Speaker 4: Either, but as an adult I love it. It's a
great song. Let's get to some weekend winners.
Speaker 2: That's how win it has done.
Speaker 3: That's right. We can't have anyone to freak out out there. Okay,
he's got a key bark and Polser got too far.
I'm by winning.
Speaker 2: I went here and I win there.
Speaker 4: Now one, are you doing what it takes to win
a championship?
Speaker 8: Wow?
Speaker 2: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left
to do.
Speaker 3: What's that win the whole thing? All right?
Speaker 4: My first weekend Winter is going to actually be a
tournament that I thought was going to be really bad.
It turned out it has been pretty exciting. And that
is the CONKA CAF Gold Cup. Just this weekend you
had Panama and Honduras that went to penalty kicks. Honduras
got the victory over Panama, all right, and so then
that was on Saturday. And then on Sunday you had
Guatemala takedown Canada.
Speaker 3: So that is a big upset also in PKS.
Speaker 4: Now, Guatemala is one hundred and six in the FIFA rankings,
Canada is thirtieth, so a massive upset there. And then
the United States went to PKS with Costa Rica and
they win in PKS and so they advance to take
on Guatemala in the semi final. It's going to be
Honduras in Mexico in the other semi final, and then
let's go Mexico beat Saudi Arabia to No, we will
not be cheering for Mexico.
Speaker 3: That is, yes, we are. That's fine. I don't care
about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Mexico US finals are great, but yeah,
once it becomes final time, I'm going for the US
of Bay.
Speaker 2: Are we cheering for Mexico.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna cheer either way, but like
if they win, sure, because I mean food comes from
cocked for conchic calf Usa Mexico is certainly. I don't
think anybody wants to tune into Guatemala versus Hondors.
Speaker 6: No, just yeah, probably not a couple.
Speaker 2: Of good squads though, a couple of good good We'll.
Speaker 6: Just spect to Mario.
Speaker 3: Yeah he is. Yeah, and they've never made a World Cup.
Speaker 8: Ka.

Speaker 2: Then of course we have Andrew Whitworth getting inducted.
Speaker 5: I don't need to go through the list there all

Nick Saban, I mean, what a winner for Louisiana Hall

inducting him to the Hall of Fame, and uh, Taylor.
Speaker 2: You got the clip. We're good.
Speaker 5: I have a clip, have a club. We mean, there
were so many good clips. What he says, Man, he's
such a good speaker, and it was awesome for him
to be able to recognize l s U and Louisiana
be able to recognize him.
Speaker 10: Be really proud every time I see LSU all the
time I coach at Alabama.
Speaker 3: I know it was a great rivalry, but.
Speaker 10: I was always proud because I felt like we did
something to raise the bar here and the program has
been outstanding ever since.
Speaker 4: But that's why he's the best of defensive head coach
mix saite that everybody could.
Speaker 2: Wife when I coach.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you could get a chance go back, maybe
we could post it. Get a chance go back. And
listen to a lot of his answers, He talks about
when he first got to LSU and the first championship
they won SEC Championship, I believe in no one. He
said that was his first championship as a coach as well,
and how that sets the bar for not only him,
but for a program, for an expectation. Then every time
you do that, it changes the horizon of what you
look to.
Speaker 2: And of course three.
Speaker 5: National championship that changed it again for him personally and
for the program.
Speaker 2: And he's proud of that, proud.
Speaker 5: Of the moments, and we certainly are thankful we can
look back on it now of course host.
Speaker 2: Alabama, Uh yeah, I mean and look back on it.
Speaker 5: We are so lucky it and fortunately happened that he
did change those expectations to the LSU.
Speaker 4: We know him and also like I understand it, I
understand who was the coach of and the success they
had there. He won six titles at ALBA. I get
all that, but also he changed my life. He changed
Fund's life. He gave us an opportunity to come to
l s U and I know for me personally. And
we heard your recruiting story. Thanks to Derrek Dooley and
your fat ankles, you almost didn't end up here, So
shout out to Jimbo forgetting you here. But coach Saban,
like I never talked to Derek Dooley one time in recruiting.
He was a running back coach, not one time coach Saban.
I was kind of like his you know, kind of
like a project, being a two star guy, and he
found me at a practice and brought me to l
s U changed my life. And so yeah, I'm gonna
forever be grateful for coach Nick Saban.
Speaker 5: Do you think that Saban may have like a wager
with one of the assistant coaches, like I bet I.
Speaker 2: Can take this guy and make him good.
Speaker 3: He had to.
Speaker 2: It was like she saw that situation.
Speaker 4: You see that noseguard that's running the football in this
Oklahoma drill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna make him and all SEC running backs.
Speaker 5: He definitely said, was it that she's all that where
Freddy Prince Junior turns the Yeah, yeah, I have my
glasses on, got your glasses on.
Speaker 3: I took my glasses off, let my hair down a
little bit. Changed.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of a not another team yeah with
Reggie Ray.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I got as many concussions left as Reggie Ray.
One I got one left.
Speaker 3: I got one left a Landra weekend.
Speaker 6: Winter week and winner for me is Iliot Taporia. So
we can lose our otv's bet.
Speaker 8: Probably we were talking about how the I found the
lines disrespectful. But after this weekend, I'm like, Okay, I
always knew that Eliot Taporia is a really good fighter,
but maybe I put more credit toward Charles Olivera than
I should have. But still I didn't say he was
going to win. I fully knew Iliotaporio was gonna take
this one. But the man is on fire. He's like
Fanos collecting stones right now, and he has his last
three fights were Charles Olivera, who was ranked number two,
knocked him out two minutes and twenty seven seconds into
the fight.
Speaker 6: Taylor, I put the video in there. We like it is.
The knockout is brutal. The last before that.
Speaker 3: We have to be careful playing UFC. Uh, they will
take it down and they will take the stream down.
Speaker 8: But it's such a great it's such a great knockout.
I guess we don't have to play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, Sports Center affiliate.
Speaker 2: I know, not like that.
Speaker 3: We used to.
Speaker 4: We used to play UFC clips all the time and
we're like, why is our stream getting taken down? And
then finally Danny kind of did some digging into It's
like if you play UFC, they will like immediately flag
your stream.
Speaker 8: Yeah, fight before that, Yeah, Max Holloway knocked out our guy,
Max Holloway, like the only knockout he has.
Speaker 2: Look at that.
Speaker 5: It's a hammer fist on people when they're already knocked
out and they just get the top of these.
Speaker 8: He's like, he had a hook that knocked him out
and then he hit him with like another one right
after that. He was already knocked out, but he just
and then before Max Holloway was Bulk and he knocked
him out too. So he's just like over here knocking
out everybody's favorite fighters, like truly truly evil stuffy getting Yeah.
But I am a really big fan of him and
he probably has the best walkout song in the UFC
right now. But to do that and then to go
from featherweight, vacate that title, and then immediately win the
vacant lightweight title. This I told y'all, he's about to
be the face of the UFC if he's not already.
Like he is very entertaining. He backs up all the ish.
He talks, Oh, yeah, we should I'm bad.
Speaker 3: No, No, you're good, Taylor, that we're gonna get his
On the other side.
Speaker 2: He did have that face off with Patty the batty.
Speaker 5: Like because I was like, Patty like you.
Speaker 2: He's you're in the face off. I was like you
just look, you don't look good.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a break.
