Speaker 2: On the air where it's back to troll the.
Speaker 3: Live from the Raisin Kain Studio. It's Off the Bench, all.
Speaker 4: Right, Welcome back in our number three of OTB here
live from the Panini Senior Bowl. Our trip brought to
you by First American Bank and Trust fabt dot com.
And of course we also want to remind you about
our friends over at Rouses all throughout the Gulf Coast.
And so if you're listening to us here, you're getting
ready for the Senior Bowl. Like us, there's a location
that is near you. And remember this is a great
time to go over to Rouses. Now we'll give you
Rousters dot Com so you can find that location. But
once you get to the Rouses, remember they got every
kind of kingcake imagiable right when you walk in. They've
got the cinnamon, they've got every filling, they've got the
doctor pepper, king cake, they got a little bit of
everything over at your local Rouses.
Speaker 2: Meals ready to go, sides, ready to go, So just
go and check those out, all right.
Speaker 4: We mentioned that the New Orleans Saints obviously have a
big presence here when it comes to the coaching staff,
more coaches than any other team. And you've got one
of the teams that has a head coach and Scott
Tolezy and our guys going to be calling the plays
for the American team. But you have I think it's
seven coaches now from the New Orleans Saints alone that
are gonna be down here at Mobile. So obviously that's
going to be an advantage for them. Now there's going
to be positions that we kind of highlight here for
the New Orleans Saints and when it comes to maybe
players that we can see them being interested in.
Speaker 2: Now, some of those players aren't going to be here
like we thought they were going to be.
Speaker 4: Some players decided to pull out of the game, some
probably because they started to talk to league officials and
found out where they were getting drafted. Some you know,
for like the Miami in Indiana guys probably like a coach, Yeah,
a little bit of a reset here.
Speaker 2: We just played on Monday last year.
Speaker 4: You had some Notre Dame in Ohio state players here
and you could tell, you could tell that they had
been through the fire of.
Speaker 2: A very long season.
Speaker 4: But still going to be plenty of talent here in
Mobile for the Saints to be able to assess. And
there's going to be a slew of receivers here and
I think that's the position that we're all looking at
when it comes to the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just kind of fall with what you just said.
Speaker 5: There's actually Indiana's got one player here, Calen Black, and
then Miami has two both offensive linemen James Brockmeyer and
mark ll Bell here. So they're coming off of potentially
just hitting the pinnacle of their football career and said,
you know what.
Speaker 2: I'd like to go to Mobile Alabama.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to go compete against some of the
some of the best, But certainly the Saints will have
an advantage here from a coaching standpoint, just can kind
of get that first hand look and how valuable of
intel is that to be able to report to the
head coach and the GM when you're when you're talking
about different players, like, look, I had these guys all week. Yeah,
you can learn a lot when you interview these guys.
Is because the scouts will be here, gms will be here,
head coaches from other teams will be here that aren't
actively coaching the players on the field, they will be
able to interview these players. Told Thomas just told us that, like,
look there, these are like twenty minute interviews. Those are
long interviews with kids, Like, oh, that's a lot, like
usually it's like five ten minutes.
Speaker 2: It is a little bit of like a little bit
of speed dating, but twenty minutes with multiple kids is
a long long time, so.
Speaker 5: You get to learn a lot in that. But if
you're actually coaching the teams, you get to learn more.
Just like you said, I had Neil in the in
the room last year, So you get to know from
a personality standpoint, from a really a football standpoint because
on the interview process, these guys are training for that.
We've already talked to two quarterbacks and said they're training
for their interviews, right, they're training.
Speaker 2: It's a question because I remember doing this.
Speaker 5: You're going to get asked what your favorite play verse
cover two is, and then why what's your favorite play
versus cover three quarters? What do you do in past protection?
How did you handle this your past protection and a
six man protection? Were you in charge of the mikes
where the center was in charge of the mics? Were
you able to make adjustments? What were those adjustments? Why
did you make them? Well, they are grinding those questions
every day in preparation, so they're kind of I guess
you could say stock answers. Well when you get to
coach them, Yeah, we're actually coaching them in the quarterback room.
In the line room, in the linebacker room, like you
get to actually see their football IQ, their football knowledge
and what great intel that you can bring the Saints
coaches can bring.
Speaker 2: To Mickey limis Kell Moore say, this is what I saw.
Speaker 5: Yeah, y'all saw that in the interview process when you
talk to them and ask them questions. This is what
I saw like in the coaching room, like they this
guy's got it or a lot of them he doesn't
have it. Yeah, that's going to be some of that.
That was really interesting to hear him say that. It's like,
you know, are they going to say the thing that
one that we're looking for something like we know the
answers the most, but are they going to say something
that's going to put them above everybody else? He's like,
but in a lot of cases they say something that
puts other people ahead of them.
Speaker 2: Right. So that's what these guys are sitting right.
Speaker 5: Everything that they do, everything that they're doing from right
now till next September determines if they have a job
or not at their dream spot, which is playing in
the NFL. So whether you do here can make or
break you. What you do at the combine can make
or break you. What you do it at Pro day
can make or break you. They are they continuously from here.
They are in the gauntlet of make or break situations.
And then certainly when you get to your team, every
single practice is that do you have it like coaches
are looking for a reason to not draft you, to
cut you, whatever it is. You don't give them those reasons,
then you find yourself on a roster. But they they're
about to go through that gauntlet that they have to survive.
All these kids have to survive and their goal is
to make it to next September.
Speaker 2: And of course there's going to be a few that
are going to have an.
Speaker 5: Advantage that get drafted in the first or second round,
but anything after that, you're fighting for your life every
single day. You can't make a mistake, and that is
what causes the stress that all these kids are dealing with.
Speaker 2: So I can promise you they're gonna be walking around
here doing all their interviews.
Speaker 5: But they probably cannot wait to finally get on the
football field and then do something they actually know that
they're good at. Yes, they can stop worrying about don't
screw up, don't say the wrong thing. They get the
pads on they get on that practice field, let me
go hit somebody in the face, right, that's what they
want to do.
Speaker 2: Shoul, I've done a whole life. That's what I know
I can do. Is so I know I can get done.
Speaker 4: And for the Saints, as we talked about receiver, it
feels like at least going to be one of the
top priorities. Maybe it's with the top ten pick at
number eight, maybe it's in the second round. We've talked
about how deep this edge rusher class is. Saint's looking
for an edge rusher. So so if they went, you know,
receiver at eight, and they go edg rusher later on,
I wouldn't be surprised by that.
Speaker 2: But if they do wait, if they do go another
position at eight.
Speaker 4: There is a receiver on the American squad, which again
there's seven Saints coaches on the American squad, Jacoby Lane
from Southern cal He is six' four two o five all,
Right so he is what we're talking about as far
as a position and a body type at that position
for The, saints that's opposite of what they have In
Chris olave forty nine catches seven hundred and forty five. Yards,
now he only had four, touchdowns but he did average
over fifteen yards per. Catch now you would think somebody
with that size would have more. Touchdowns but strong, hands
one of the fewest drop rates in the in The Big.
Speaker 2: Ten he has the.
Speaker 4: Frame he's the guy that made the incredible one handed
catch against THE lsu In Las. Vegas so like his
catch radius is. Incredible watch out For Jacoby, lane AND
i know The, saints knowing their needs and knowing what
they're looking for at that, position are going to BE.
Speaker 2: I Hustling Jacobe lane.
Speaker 4: Here and that's, again when you have seven coaches from your,
staff they're able to be here In.
Speaker 2: Mobile they're going to be able to.
Speaker 4: Tell Mickey loomis whoever in the front office yes or,
no simply when they say should we draft this?
Speaker 5: Guy, yeah now that you told me he's the guy
that made the one hand to catch again sounds She
i'll be watching him now BECAUSE i don't like that
guy one, bit but, yeah HE'S i remember. Him, yeah,
physical real physical, presence and that is The. Saints you need.
It you try to get that with with vele who
actually kind of towards the end of the season had those.
Speaker 2: Moments we were wondering from, That we were wondering is
he on the? Team is on the? Team did they
give him a? Uniform? Uh, Huh, Well i'll tell you
what they gave the The broncos a fourth round. PICK
i know that for a.
Speaker 5: Fact but it is a big body guy on the
other side Of. Crystal we said, It CHRIS A lave
is going to get. Thirty, now whether you agree with
that or, not you cannot argue with the, stats the
statistical season That Chris lave. Had he had the stats
of a number one. Receiver now you Can there's going
to be different, Opinions LIKE i certainly have a different
opinion on what a number one receiver looks like from
an eyeball test and what his skill set should be
as a number one, receiver AND i don't think A
lave necessarily fits that for me. Personally BUT i can't
argue with the stats and the production he has and
his crisp route running and what he did this past.
SEASON i can't argue with. That so for me to
try to say that he doesn't deserve number one money is.
Losing that's a dumb thing for me to say because,
You but from a building a roster, STANDPOINT i think
you still have to have a guy that fits more
that mold That i'm thinking, about which is that big
physical presence that's physically going to win you a one
on one battle with a game the, line and it's
going to make the sure handed catch at the end
the end of the. Game it's going to make that
big play. Catch And Chris alave can beat you one on.
One you can rely on him from a crisp route running,
standpoint BUT i don't think we all all are going
to hang our team's success on him winning a point
of catch battle every single.
Speaker 2: Time with the defensive, Back, yeah.
Speaker 4: You're looking for something a little bit, different and it's
kind of what makes What Tayler schuck was able to
do Really Spencer rattler. TOO i mean, again LIKE i
wish we had Asked joel about the just a quarterback
room health in. General but it's what makes it impressive
is the fact that oftentimes they looked up.
Speaker 2: And they never had the same set of. Weapons M.
Speaker 4: H i think that many, times like Either Rashid shaheed
Or chris o'lave was, out and then you Trade shaheed
and then Vey ley's, in but the he's back. Out it's,
like you, know you've got a bunch of uber drivers out,
there As dev calls, them run it routes for, you
and you're still, like you don't use it as an,
excuse and you, like that's What shuck. Did and that's
WHY i like look in our assessment and, like BECAUSE
i Thought Spencer ratler did a lot of nice, things
But shuck elevated those around him more Than spencer.
Speaker 2: Did and that's what made him, difference what made him a,
winner made the.
Speaker 4: Place and so, like he didn't care who was in
who was, out AND i give him a lot of
credit for. That he's, like what's your jersey? Number oh
we just met this. Week sure get open for throwing to.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's imagine times as a quarterback with a.
Speaker 5: Weapon very few times as a quarterback do you go
somewhere based on an individual.
Speaker 2: Unless that person is.
Speaker 5: Special, now of course you're not going to throw to
a guy if they're cloud covering him or anything like.
That but when a quarterback has the opportunity to target
a certain receiver because he is, special when all things
are when all things are, equal when it's man to.
Man you're, like all, right don't want this guy one
on one or don't want this guy one on. One
it's hard when teams play zone to target one, receiver
you know WHAT i, mean it just happens that that's
the coach's the offense coordinator's job is to understand what
defenses you're probably gonna get and put him in the
position in the route. Concept it's usually not the quarterback
Saying i'm just going to target this. Guy target this
guy because he's so. Good AND i think that's a
misconception that a lot of people. Have, yeah this this
quarterback is just going at this receiver because he is,
dominant so he's just looking for him every.
Speaker 2: Time oh that's.
Speaker 5: Stupid that's not a thing unless they're playing man to
man every play, There yeah you.
Speaker 2: Throw it to. Him yeah they're playing man where At.
Speaker 5: But it's like if you have a top down, read
if you're reading like post it deep over to the
flat route to check down and you got, it, Goy,
like you're not going to not go through your progression
because you have like this this kick ass.
Speaker 2: Receiver he's Not you're going to go through your.
Speaker 5: Progression but it's a coordinator's job to put that guy
in the right spot of that progression based on the
defense you're going to. Get so it's really the coordinator
that is mostly responsible for a kick ass receiver getting
more and more. Targets, now if it, again if it's
man to, man you got two one on, one you're deciding.
Speaker 2: Which one to. Go, yeah you go to that.
Speaker 5: Guy but it's, uh that's kind of the misconception THAT
i hear a. Lot but we'll SAY i just Saw
Scott tolzy and walk. BY i should have thrown my
breakfast sandwich rapper at.
Speaker 2: Him, buddy you're forty years. OLD i don't know if
this has a weight to get.
Speaker 4: There if you think you could throw anything outside of
a football that far. Anymore BUT i can throw it
over that, mountain you might, can but you can't throw
it over that curtain.
Speaker 5: This right, HERE i don't, know sudden, way it's not, Enough.
GRAHAMS i don't think.
Speaker 2: ANYBODY i don't think it can only be shot out
of A t shirt canon to make.
Speaker 4: Get past that first, sign and we'll film it during
the break past that first.
Speaker 5: Sign ye don't, know it has not it do Like
i'm telling, YOU i don't think A t Shirt canny
can get it over.
Speaker 2: That it just doesn't have to. WAIT i don't.
Speaker 4: Know WHAT i do know is we got to take
a break MORE otb because we do have to talk
about the conference championship games and what The Super bowl
matchup is going to be In San francisco in a

Nfc championship. Games THE Afc Championship game ten to, Seven
patriots win football, weather, sure if that's what you want
to call, it an, ugly sloppy snowfest there In. Denver
and then we got the complete opposite In. Seattle we
had offensive fireworks thirty one twenty Seven seattle victorious over
The La rams and really with The patriots Of, broncos
we'll get.
Speaker 2: THERE i want to start with the, nightcap The seahawks And.
Speaker 4: Rams that was very high level quarterback, play that was
high level offensive. Coordinator just back and forth between both
against good. Defenses they're still finding ways to get open score.
Points and at the end, though it was a fourth
down stop for The Seattle seahawks that won them the.
Speaker 2: Game, yeah it. Was and so we were we were
driving down.
Speaker 5: The tripod was driving down last, night so we were
kind of tuning into it watching a little. BIT i
was driving some watching guys as are on the. ROAD
i can volume, up BUT i can tell you you
didn't watch. It what we all got to witness yesterday
or listen to for that, matter was high level tackle.
Speaker 2: Football and it was. Incredible to, say.
Speaker 5: What an incredible, game an INCREDIBLE Nnoc championship, matchup high
level quarterback, play high level receiver, play defenses playing their tails,
off incredible coaching on both. Sides just we got to
watch the best in the world play really good football
game play each other in a game that meant a.
Lot obviously a trip to the Super bowl was at
stake in The Seattle. Seahawks they get it. Done they
show why they were the number one, seed and what
a fantastic game it, was and like you, said we
were watching that game or the game was, ON i
was Expecting stafford to make the plays that he. Did
stafford made the, plays, Right he's a, dog he's the
best in the, game made incredible. Throws WHAT i didn't
know we'd see Was Sam darnald making those. Plays but,
man did he step up to the. Occasion and what
an amazing. Story LIKE i was cheer for The rams
Because i'm A stafford. Guy that's been my prediction to
get to the Super bowl has been The. Rams but
what a. Story Sam darnald is a guy From incredible
that went to a interview after a game saying that
he's literally seen ghosts out. There, yeah and that is
not a great place to be as a. Quarterback but
you're a couple of years, later you fast forward and my,
god he is headed to the Super bowl and a
lot of. It of, course they got a great, team,
Man seatle was a well coached. Team they got some.
Dog that defense was is a really good. Defense even though,
offenses both offenses had a lot of. Success we did
watch two good defenses. Yesterday Play that's why it was
such a fun game to watch because the plays that
were made on offense were high level skill plays by running, backs, receivers,
quarterbacks offensive line, blocking some very intricate.
Speaker 2: Pressures there was just a lot of fun to.
Speaker 5: Watch but, Man Sam, darnold a lot of questions on,
him but he had that dog in, him he had
that clutch team, yesterday made the plays when they were
presented and he needed to make him at the, times
and just a lot of fun to. Watch we had
some questions la early on they you, know The rams
being down to, eleven they didn't go for two after
any of the after any of their, touchdowns not going for.
Two we were talking about that game, management, uh scoreboard management.
Situation there was wondering if you, know if we were
if we were, coaching like would not Question sean.
Speaker 2: Mcvaks he's one of the best in the.
Speaker 5: Business Play at what point do you decide to go
for to try to make it a ten point, game
because at some point you got to think that you
have to go for that. Too i'd rather do it
a little bit early early to see to see WHAT
i have to make up because if you do cut
it to, ten The rams towards the end of the
game WERE i think at the ten yard, line fifteen yard,
line something like, that and having them go having to
go for it on fourth down four inside of, ten
fourth and four or something like, that and they have
to go for because they're down before at that. Point
so how does the game turn out if they decide
to go for? It To you can look back and
question a lot of different things here and there, throughout you,
know any football, game but just something that we certainly
brought up. Yesterday And Sam, darnold what do we say?
Yesterday becomes the first quarterback from.
Speaker 4: The twenty eight draft to start A Super. Bowl now
he's been to one as a, backup but Before Josh,
allen Before Lamar, jackson Before Baker, mayfield it Is Sam
donald from the twenty eighteen class that's going to start
in The Super bowl.
Speaker 2: First and you mentioned it.
Speaker 4: Yesterday he's twenty five of thirty, six three hundred and
forty six yards three, tutters nine point six yards per. Throw, now,
Look Matthew stafford was twenty two of thirty five three
seventy four and three. Totters so the quarterbacks played, Incredible
but what a great Story Sam donald. Is and he
revives his career In minnesota with koc last. Year then
he goes to seatt on. EVERYTHING i don't, know man
was that because he was In minnesota with a great
quarterback coach And jets and all these, weapons and, well
he certainly elevated those around him Like Jackson smith And
jigba played like really AN mvp this. YEAR i mean
yesterday had ten for one fifty. Three So Sam donald
just needs to get away from The. Jets and it's a,
great great example of what we always talk. About we're
so quick to label people. Bust it's, Like, okay sure
you can do that if you want. To in some other,
cases maybe they, are but in a lot of cases
it's because they went to crappy almost said a bad
word franchises like The, jets The, browns The, raiders all
of these loser franchises that it doesn't matter who's the.
COACH i don't even. CARE i will hope A raiders
coach says SOMETHING i hate The, brady so like maybe
he can fix. It but there's so many players that
their career just went down the drain because they.
Speaker 2: Went to bad.
Speaker 4: Franchises and good For Sam darnold to be able to
find his way to a normal, franchise a stable, franchise
and go show what he can.
Speaker 5: Do, yeah two in a, row like you, said revived
his career last year with The. Vikings he's got a
who have a really good. Organization and, yeah just like you,
said people get in bad situations and sometimes that's the
curse of being the best and getting drafted, early is
that you do.
Speaker 2: Have to go to a bad.
Speaker 5: Organization but it has worked. Out Sam darnold headed to
The Super. Bowl i'm gonna face The New England, patriots
and my, god did it do? It Super bowl? Logo
it did? It don't call it. Again so those of
you you, know not Following Super bowl, logo it releases
every single year before the, season long. Before the colors
of The Super bowl logo are pretty darn accurate in
determining who the matchup is going to. Be and wouldn't
you know little lime, green isn't that? Thing ye a
little bit of? RED i, mean is THE nfl? Rigged some?
Speaker 2: Arasking some are, asking.
Speaker 6: H i'm asking because also THE NFL i just all,
This like during the last break at the beginning of the,
season they posted a graphic of like everybody walking toward
The Lombardi. Trophy Drake may And Sam darnold are at
the front of the.
Speaker 2: Line give me.
Speaker 6: That Drake may And Sam donald front of the?
Speaker 2: Line, wow they really. Are they posted that in the
beginning of the. Season who those Two patriots picked? Fifth
last year The seahawks Had Sam donald a quarterback, now
so they're on the right.
Speaker 5: Shoulder Drake may Is Malik. Neighbors but, Yeah i'll be
darned it might be. Rigged it is rigged. Now with
The patriots win in last, Night Mike vrabel has tied
now for the most wins IN nfl history for a
first year as a head coach with that, organization seventeen
AND i believe the last one to do it was
the forty Nine ers coach in like eighty, nine but
they were coming off like A Super bowl performance the year.
Before so incredibly impressive What vrabel has done in his
first year, there going from a bad team that fired
a one year head, coach and it is taking them
now to a seventeen win, season seventeen and three currently
with the playoffs at, it and The patriots first team
IN nfl history to go nine and o on the
road this, season so they have done, it and then
it's not always. Pretty it wasn't pretty. Yesterday drake made
did enough of his feet and his legs to get
some get some big time first downs to keep the clock,
running to keep balling their possession and hang on to
that ten to seven lead that they, had the commanding
ten to seven.
Speaker 2: Lead but, man it's they've done just enough to. Win
and what a what?
Speaker 5: A when you see nine and o on the, road
you know you got a good culture for. Sure you
know you might not have the greatest, talent but you
know you got a good. Culture and everybody said that
they're one one year. Away it's a one year away
type of. Team The New England, Patriots oh my, god
they've made it this. Year so, yeah they are ahead of,
schedule certainly With rabel as their head. Coach but two
records being done right, there first team IN nfl. History
he got nine to zero on the road And Mike
brabel ties the record for the most wins as a
head coach in his first year with a.
Speaker 4: TEAM i Saw rabes here two years, AGO i think
it was two years, ago and he was actually walking
right behind us at a crosswalk there AND i was,
LIKE i was, like, hey what's selling on my? BROTHER
i said my name or, whatever and, so, YEAH i
played against you a bunch. Man it was always respected, you,
bubble you, know the whole. Deal and he, Goes i'm

JUST i was trying to make a point here and
everyone says it's a bad.
Speaker 2: Team you, Know i'll tell you what one of THE
i was late one time in my L u.
Speaker 4: Career it's because we had a full blowout On, nicholson,
Right nicholson And. Lee there was an old circle k
it's been abandoned forever, now but we're right there and
me And, Sean jordan And steltz all of us like
a boom, BLOWOUT i, mean tire pops.
Speaker 2: Whatever and this is he couldn't. Uber there's No uber back,
then and we're like we're like we're changing the. Tire we're.
HURRYING i, mean we got that.
Speaker 4: Done it was like AN nascar tire, change but we
were like thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: Late to the. Workout and WHEN i, say this is
our senior, year so we're all, like you, know we're.
Speaker 4: Captains WHEN i, Say Tommy moffatt lit into our ass
like that was one man that did not care who you.
WERE i, mean do we have still like the, tie you,
know like when you change, tires like black all, over
like the hands and like he didn't.
Speaker 2: Care he didn't.
Speaker 4: Care, sorry because he also was the man that, said
if that train is going by the facility and you're,
stuck you better drag your bloody ass into this weight
room because you just tried.
Speaker 2: To jump through the. Train so that counts What flinn's talking.
About with everybody But Tommy.
Speaker 5: Moffatt, yeah with, everybody that's exactly. Right that's why we
Love tommy didn't, care didn't.
Speaker 2: Care if that train's, there you better drag your Bloody, yes,
sir didn't you still talks that? Way can you talk
that way? Anymore you gotta hope that he. DOES i don't.
KNOW i don't know if you can still talk to
This kid's gotta. Know uh, yeah they got not to, act,
sure BUT i don't know if you can get that.
Done so don't don't murder yourself with a trend to
get the. Practice if if you're On.
Speaker 4: South, stadium there's a train there and you're a football.
PLAYER i don't know if that's still the, case but
twenty years ago you had to play.
Speaker 2: Frogger, yeah through the. Train i'll just wait for the
train to.
Speaker 4: LEAVE i was terrified to be. Late, no, no shocked
that you are terrified to be there at one. Time
and again it's because of a blown. Tire and it
was like a random WORK i wasn't even like a
team meeting or. ANYTHING i don't even want to think
about a team meeting with Coach.
Speaker 2: Saban, well nobody. Worried, Guys Jordan, seaton he's in. Class
he's in. Class so is there because of. Alignment so
everybody's going to be there. OUTSIDE i, Mean lev's going
to be. There but he's. Injured but, yeah that's a big. Deal,
no he's not.
Speaker 4: Injured he's. Recovering yeah wait what almost? Healthy, sure whatever
you want to spend, it he's not gonna be out.
Speaker 2: There don't See, andrew why don't like that said positive?
Speaker 4: Words but, sure that's it feels. Positive i'll take. It but,
no getting him there before. Spring i'm not saying like
it has to be the, case because If i'm being
honest with our, listeners you don't have to go through
spring practice necessarily to go out there and be successful
in the. Fall like you see freshmen sometimes. THAT i
Think Carlon berry came in in the. SUMMERTIME i don't
think he was an early enroll league and he Did, okay,
right you, know so you don't have to do. That
BUT i do think with a lot of new as
many like leaders and kind of you, know main pieces
of the, structure that you can get. THERE i do
think that is important for this, team just because they
have forty new players through the. PORTAL i mean it's
not even counting high school.
Speaker 2: Players.
Speaker 4: Yep so as much as you can get, there and,
again LIKE i know levit can't go through, practice but
even just being, there being in the, building being behind
the offense with a, SCRIPT i think that's gonna be
big FOR.
Speaker 5: Lsu so Thank god for. Alignment, yep Thank god for.
Alignment AND i don't know who all that, means but
it doesn't. Matter he's in class a week, Late i'm
sure he'll be. There Bright Ad Bushy tailed taking notes Front.
