thoughts specifically I have on Shuck and Neil. I've got
a random congrats to a Launder segment in here. Today.
We will not have mad flighting our number two, but
we might do some flustering type things and knock off BUCkies.
What's recruiting dad stuff, daddy stuff, you know how being
main Uh, we'll probably get into Tyrese Halburtn's dad acting
a fool and Janni's almost killing him a bit later
in the show as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's who we sent to the front lines, dad,
No gian is on the front lines of like I mean,
but obviously an opportunity, I mean, I agree, but or
maybe we saves because Halburton's dad is the one who
clearly is not scared, like he's going to get torn
apart by the gorilla.
Speaker 2: But he'll he'll talk, He'll talk stuff.
Speaker 3: To the to the gorilla.

Speaker 3: You worked at the game last night? How was that?
Speaker 5: It's good?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 5: Unless you put on a hitting display.
Speaker 3: Is that hard for you?
Speaker 5: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: I'm a little Southeast grade loves doing battle with one another.
Speaker 8: There's there's not really a contest between those two. No,
it's cool because you walk it off on a Grand Slam.
That's always really fun. So yeah, it's a good game.
Speaker 2: Uh so these are a good team too, leading the
South in conference.
Speaker 5: So three and twelve now after that loss.
Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah, don't get it like, don't get
it twisted. This was a u a way more quality
midweek performance than you might think.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: But before we get into all of it, guys, remember

Speaker 3: I mean that funny, yeah, shout out to take laboring.
Speaker 2: And even uh, yes, okay, So start the MIDWI game
last night, guys, lsu well a lot. Did you give
any luck finding uh fighting that? Yeah? Okay, you got
him because you always love to start a game like this. Okay,
Schmidt comes out, he looks good, tough the first you
get to the bottom of the first add on the
second pitch, here we are punkering up already.
Speaker 9: Speaking of working Curry l coming off a four hit
performance and he sends this one deep to left field.
This ball is backing up, backing up. You can pucker
up for the second time this season. Derek curryel hits
the first pitch he sees for a home run. That's
number six.
Speaker 3: Can anybody get Dereck curryell out right now?
Speaker 2: Go lit it a pucker up And then they would
go on to say second pitch, but still pucker up
on the second pitch?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Could be better?
Speaker 2: How about puckering up on the second batter as well?
Longest home run in the new alex Box Stadium, Well,
how about another one? Back to back home runs? Carry
out one Jones, pucker.
Speaker 9: Up and kiss that baby goodbye. Number fifteen on the season.
The last time Jared Jones crushed four bases on one swing.
Was at one fifteen in the morning on Saturday with
a three run blast, and he follows.
Speaker 2: That with this.
Speaker 3: Just the you know, Terarreen Jones got to get in
the weight room. Yeah so you heard Jumbo, There come
out Jones.
Speaker 2: He's getting the weight room because the one from one
thirty am on Friday, when four you're fifty two feet,
this one a measly four forty four.
Speaker 4: Damn.
Speaker 2: Come on, sweet, there's a reason why you didn't see anyone,
any fan grabbing or catching that ball. It went all
the way over the scoreboard. Uh, absolutely absurd. So that's
how it started. And here we are in the seventh
one run will walk it off and Ethan Fried is this.
Speaker 9: And they're gonna get it. I think this fall is carrying, carrying, carrying.
HiT's a car run swing for even Fry. A grand
Slam home run for Fry ends this game. And the
Tigers are getting accustomed to this.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: You and I just we have it in our country.
Is anybody do any is the mail shot.
Speaker 5: About little anti climatic?
Speaker 3: Right, how do any climatic? Just no, pucker pucker up, Yeah, no,
pucker up.
Speaker 2: Like prime I think I think he I think he
just got lost in the walk off saw us because yes,
that is I mean that that's pucker up and kiss
this game goodbye, Yeah territory. Uh but anyway, either way,
Lynn national treasure, absolute legend, shocking stuff with the note.
Speaker 7: Pucker up, though maybe he wasn't sure because he said
this is gonna end it.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, I think I think maybe some of the
original maybe the only doubters. Uh well, no, no, no,
he'll He'll give a late pucker up. I mean, so
I think it's Look, I mean, I don't know. Hey,
this is we love Lynn to death. I am still
thinking about he did a blood.
Speaker 3: Hound, a field marshal, and a search more to find
that ball.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's one of a million great
link calls.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So other things that stood out from last night's game
besides just the the dominant hitting continuing.
Speaker 5: Jaden Newt was dominant.
Speaker 8: So he comes in I believe it's the fifth end
and he comes in for DJ Primo one pitch out,
then comes up in the top of the top of
the sixth three batters, three strikeouts.
Speaker 5: Jade new was dominant.
Speaker 3: Premo shot three as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Premoir, Essentially every pitcher you threw was really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Schmidt.
Speaker 2: You know, you may look at like the two earned
runs in three and a third, but was that a
home run.
Speaker 3: That kind of got away from it?
Speaker 2: You had a big lead, so you're pitching with a
little you know, with a little cushion as well. Seven
k's to one walk.
Speaker 3: I really like.
Speaker 2: I was reading Hunt Palmer's right up on Louisiana Sports
dot Net, and he was comparing William Schmidt this year
to kind of Kate Anderson last year maybe in terms
of how their outings were looking, how you hope that
they could continue to develop over time. So that that
was a rather promising comp from from Hunt. But again,
this is a very good Southeastern team. To Taylor's part,
I actually didn't know the record was that good. I
knew they were leading the South then, So a quality
midweek win that rolls into the momentum. Okay, yes, you
have the Northwestern debacle coming off of losing the final
game against Alabama with a potential sweep in play, and
at that point things felt pretty bad. And then when
it's three nothing going into the bottom of the ninth
on Friday, things felt worse, and that's when LSU flipped
the script changes everything.
Speaker 3: They win the to the c Series. They dominate this
midweek and now they.
Speaker 2: Got to go to College Station with tex A and
M team that is still playing very good baseball, even
after getting swept last week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did get swept, but all the games were
very competitive.
Speaker 2: We're all about one run. Yeah, it's insane, unlucky.
Speaker 3: And what was it? It was it was a subpoena,
another search warrant. I apologize, Anthony, you're right, that's still
I play. It would have worked pretty good. Sorry, maybe
I'm a little biased to search warr because Dev's line. Yeah, yeah, god,
my fault, Anthony, good call. Thank you for keeping honest, Sergeant.
Speaker 4: A and M was incredibly hot going into the Texas series.
It looked like a team that it was living up
to the preseason ranking. And you know they still again
they did play well. So don't take oh they got
swept by Texas like they're not playing well, Like they're
struggling again. It's going to be a very tough series.
You're going to their place and it's going to probably
be their biggest crowd of the year. Like whatever that
number is when Elshue comes down, probably gonna be that
biggest number.
Speaker 3: So you go there and you got to take two
of three.
Speaker 4: That's always the hope when you're on the road in
the SEC, that's always what you strive for because then
you get to come home against Arkansas.
Speaker 3: Right, that'd be very tough to go there, but you get.
Speaker 4: Them at home, and then you go to a very
very very struggling South Carolina baseball team.
Speaker 2: So and that'll be great just narratively, you know, minary
and all that. But this A and M team, Man,
this A and M team feels a little dangerous right now.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you can't half step into this series. If
you do, it's gonna end up like the Auburn series.
They yeah again, so don't forget. On the road, they
took two or three in Tennessee. On the road, they
took two or three in Arkansas. Then this Texas series
where Texas is far and above has the best areaer,
I mean, what are they are think? Nineteen and two?
Speaker 2: Now does that mean after the suite in the sele
So yeah, one of your I mean that is that
is absurd, Like I feel like I naturally want to
hand wave it away. Because of how badly I don't
want Texas to be the best team in the SEC
baseball wise, but I guess you got to give credit
words to nineteen and two. Is nineteen and two is absurd.
I mean, you took one of those. Hell, this should
make you feel good. For a game and a half,
you looked like the better team and then everything fell apart.
Speaker 4: But the next closest is LSU at Arkansas at fourteen
and seven in the SEC, So you're five games ahead
of any other team in the Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 2: So the point is you have an A and M
team that did what they did to Tennessee and Arkansas
to elite teams. Then, even though they lost every game,
I mean, that's still really solid play for them. Heartbreaking, which,
like I guess that's my question how they respond because
with as much emotion as they had their former coach
they just went to a championship with last year that
betrayed them, left them, lied about it.
Speaker 3: He's on the other side.
Speaker 2: You want to beat him so badly and you lose
three one run games and so you make his day
he ruins yours.
Speaker 3: Like, how do you respond to that?
Speaker 2: Are you a broken team at this point or is
your back against the wall, are you desperate? Are you
going to come out fighting? I don't think that's a guarantee.
The fighting thing last week is depressing enough where it
might have broken them mentally and physically. Maybe not, We'll see,
because again, you know, when is a wounded animal most
dangerous right when their corner and they feel like their
lives are trying to make no mistake, Texas A and
M's SDC lives are threatened right now.
Speaker 3: So it's going to be great.
Speaker 4: They got work to do, yeah, I mean they've only
got eight wins in conference play, so they need at
least five more wins here coming up in the next
nine games. They want to get to that number we
always talk about it in thirteen. Yeah, so they still
got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 2: So again, it's going to be a dangerous series. Excited
for it, Excited to dive into it on the road
in college station, and you owe them what happened last
year this Oh we look, we'll get more into the
Tigers A and M series as the week goes on.
But a solid midweek performance for the boys. Also, I
was remiss. I don't really know where this since in
the show, so I'll just mention it now, but shout
out LSU softball taking two or three off of Florida
over the weekend. First time they've done that against the
Gators since twenty nineteen. Florida's the number two RPI team
in the country. They take the series with an eight
run six inning to go ahead and end it run
ruling the Gators. I know that had to feel very good,
very validating for coach Tarita and the team.
Speaker 3: So shout out to LSU.
Speaker 2: Sofhtmore softball, And I think I would say more because
y'all heard about the Mets fan.
Speaker 3: That died yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Seymour.
Speaker 2: Rest in peace to Seymour Wiener, legendary Mets fan. What
was the season ticket holder for like eighty years or
something like that. But rest in peace for sure to
him and his family. When we get back, let's talk
a little Saints draft because I've got some thoughts on
Chuck and Devin Neil, the the new running back. Keep
it locked here, no t B off the bench, Get
Gordon and get it done. Gordon McCartin injury Attorney's there
for you when you need them. Two to five eight
eight eighty eight eighty eight. You need somebody's gonna stand
up to the big insurance companies to get you what

to lean on you. You need somebody to advocate for
you and fight on your behalf. And that's what Gordon
will do. So you can call it eighty eight, eighty

in Louisiana, fol About eighty eight, eighty eight eighty eight, what.
Speaker 1: Does it Welcome back to the best morning sports show
around sorta. It's off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 2: So this is pretty incredible met superman. Seymour Wiener was
ninety eight years old. He was a World War Two veteran,
which is something. So I have a very good friend,
Sarah Kertsey, who is high up in the World War
Two museum. She runs all the tours over in Europe
and Japan and everything. You're a looking War tours, you
hit her up with an incredible experience, just unreal. I mean,
the entire World War Two museum organization, top to bottom,
is next level.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the top ten museum in the world. Again,
the tours and made their banded brother tours whatever. You
go check them all out. But this is something that
she laments all the time. And it is the fact
that I mean we are slowly but surely losing all
the all the World War Two veterans. Yeah, and it's
it's crazy. It's crazy. It's sign of just you know,
I mean, you know, the inexorable March time all that.
But to Seymour, world War Two veteran, he witnessed Jackie
Robinson's first hit in nineteen forty seven live and uh,
they's had, like ebitts Field said, only about twelve thousand
people were there. He was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan until
the Giant and the dollars all leave, until in nineteen
sixty two he became a Mets fan. Has been going
to games ever since eighty three years. He was honored
last year when it bit viral. They even used him
to promote Dollar Dog Night with the quote everyone loves
a Wiener, which is great, right, it's to play on winner,
to play on dollar Dogs. But seriously, it's a funny
name and that's the best part. He loved the name.
He loved all the jokes. He was he was laughing
about how it was getting picked up in Australia when
he went viral last year and everything else like he was.
He absolutely loved it. As Zester life a World War
Two veteran.
Speaker 4: Thank you Seymour, like this, Yeah, everything that you've listed
out there, everything that he's been through, he's seen a
lot more than Wiener.
Speaker 2: True, true, exactly A little you know, if you online
jokes just gonna put a smile on his face, So
shout out, Seymour, dude, I hope, well now you're gonna live,
you live forever in the afterlight. So like eventually you'll
see a Mets championship. I don't know when exactly it'll be,
but at some point what maybe not No, no, at
some point at some point. I mean, I don't know
we'll ever see a Pelicans.
Speaker 4: Champions I say, as someone who you know, I'm a
Chargers fan and they've been in existence since nineteen sixty.
Speaker 3: They don't have one yet. There's got to be one sometime, right,
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 7: They usually end up blowing up, but they're twenty one
and nine right now and first in the.
Speaker 2: Oh they always start hot. Yeah, well, there we go.
At least at least he got to watch his Mets
do well here at the beginning of this campaign year
or two. All right, let's go ahead, a billion dollars.
Speaker 3: I hope they something.
Speaker 2: I want to talk to New Orleans Saints for first
one remind you, now, Kate is the interiors and outdoor living. Uh,
if you want to take your home to next level,
and look, we can work with all prece point. So
let's say you have a brand new home or you
have a the HOMEI or Jims. You're kind of forever home,
right either way, it's your greatestsassinary you spend the most time.
I want you maximize both its comfortability, its value, and
its function. But like it's again, this is aesthetic and functional.
And you get Brandon Barton out to your home, you're
gonna take advantage of us thirty years in this business.
He's built this company from the ground up, sequity, pounding
the pavement, and within a matter of minutes, he's gonna
tell you exactly how the sun interacts to the home
at any given portion today and what you can do
and what your options are.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's something like drop down.
Speaker 2: Exterior shading like jakeas you can say cool while you're
grilling and chilling outside also gets some mancillary benefit's like
cutting glare off the TV inside. Maybe cool in the
inside as well. You want shutter shades, draperies, splines. It's
all there at Katee is the Interiors in Outdoor Living,
proud sponsor of OTV.
Speaker 3: Thank you you're the best.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead. Okay, I want to talk
about Tyler Shuck a little bit because because I found
yesterday's conversation with Nick Underhill to be pretty enlightening. Like
Nick may know bones about it that Tyler Shuck is
your QB one, and I was someone who consistently in
the pre draft process said that I didn't find the
idea of that to be very exciting. And so when
he was drafted, there were a lot of people that
were on his social media chirping, maybe just talking online
basically like kind of booing the pick, kind of a
pooing the pick, and a lot of times even adding
him right, just sitting direct negativity to this.
Speaker 3: Kid man twenty six, Yeah, fully grown.
Speaker 2: And what did he do? He said, if it was easy,
everyone would do it New Orleans. You will get everything
out of me. I will die on that field for y'all.
Speaker 3: Who that?
Speaker 2: And is that not the attitude that you want, Like,
whether he's good or bad? Is that not the approach
that we have begged for? Is that not One of
the main problems with Derek Carr is he so clearly
does not want to be here. And so now you've
got a young man who does and who says he's
willing to give it all. And damn if he's good
enough for coach Tief, he's good enough for me. So
I guess all I'm saying is, Jake, I am here
to say that I am giving myself over to Tyler
Schuck fully and holy I'm all saying should as well.
Speaker 3: Now I'm right there with you.
Speaker 4: I am right there because of a lot of things
you said, and from day one, like he wants to
be here, Like there's no did he go to Chipotle
conversations that we're having here now he is all all
in and here here's uh okay. So you've got some
name quarterbacks that went after Tyler Shucker. Okay, So you've
got Shodoor Sanders, you got Jaylen Milroe, and we could go, oh,
you got will Howard Quinn, you or whoever.
Speaker 3: Okay, So.
Speaker 4: If you just I hustle college football, right well, you're like, well,
how could they take this guy before those guys? And
that's a large, you know, portion of people that watched
the draft because they watch and let's be honest, a
lot of Saints fans weren't watching Louisville every single week.
Speaker 3: They just they weren't doing it.
Speaker 2: I mean I watched a ton of college football, all right,
And the Louisville games I watched were portions of the
Clemson game.
Speaker 3: It never got main screen, but it was one of
the four on the side screen yea, and.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, Miami, the Louisville Miami shootout. I remember the
Louisville Miami shootout.
Speaker 4: And you you know you cover football nationally, right, So
like that's a great example. I'm not gonna pretend like
I watched them live. I watched the same games that
you did, probably those same two games. Okay, So like
you have that's what you know about Louisville and Tyler Shuck.
And it's like I had someone high up in the
NFL tell me about Shador Sanders. That's where y'all had him.
That's not where we had him as far as NFL
teams and where he was supposed to get drafted. And
sometimes we lose sight of that. Yeah, we lose sight of,
you know, what we think somebody should do and where
we think somebody should be picked. And the NFL loves
Tyler Shuck. Like Jim Naggy, the former executive director of
the Senior Bowl, loved Tiger.
Speaker 2: It was a consistent undercurrent when we talked to scouts
and people like that that actually, everybod's pretty high in
Teler Shuck.
Speaker 3: Of I fell into it. The film's better than better,
better than what you think and look, I fell into it.
In the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 4: I was like Jackson Dart and Riley Leonard and Dylan
Gabriel like all these other quarterback the name quarterbacks I was.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, yeah, Tyler Shuck. He played with Justin
Herbert at Oregon. Like that's what now. That was my
first thought about him at the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 4: But then like you start to watch practice and you
start to see he's almost a six five, two hundred
and twenty five pound guy.
Speaker 3: He can move around a little bit.
Speaker 4: You're like, Okay, I'm starting to see it. I'm starting
to see what Jim and all these scouts are talking about.
Speaker 3: So I think he fell into that.
Speaker 4: When he got picked in forty everyone was on Shador
Sanders watch, and I think he suffered because of that.
As far as like what the narrative was draft Ard.
Speaker 2: Yes, as far as generating excitement when his name is called,
because his name during the whole Drew pre draft process
was not Yeah, it wasn't one that we said here
and we're like, ooh, it would be awesome. Again, I
feel partly responsible. So I feel like I was saying
before the whole time they get be poo pooing it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and Taite does a good job bringing up
when they lost games, he was still very solid. Ten touchdowns,
three interceptions, and so like I have over the last
couple of days, I've gone back and I've done a
deeper dive into Tyler Shuck film, and there is a
lot of good. Now you can go back and find
good at Oregon, you can go back and find good
at Texas Tech, and you can find good at Louisville.
Speaker 3: He just has to stay healthy.
Speaker 4: Like that's my biggest takeaway, because you're gonna have people
that set up here and they're gonna hate on Tyler
Shuck that have not watched a single down of Tyler
Shuck film, not one down, not one throw. They've seen
a highlight package and that and a low light package
and that's all they've seen. But if you dive into
the actual film and if you go watch it, if
you watch the end zone copy, he's got different arm angles.
Like Nick talks about all the time that he can
make throws. He's he's got the size, he's got the
pocket presence. He's more athletic than you think. He's a
four to six three official at the Combine that Chris.
Speaker 3: Guys, he's got thirty three inch vertical.
Speaker 5: He ran it. He ran it tech a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah for sure. I mean until we get him
some calcium, we don't need him running anymore.
Speaker 5: That's yeah, that's why he got hurt.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if I want to go,
like I said, if I'm just getting shucked here fully
and holy and I want to give myself over fully
to Tyler. Like I'm say, broke poke his collar bones
because he's laying the wood. He ain't afraid to lower
the shoulder, get in there a little bit. Look, he
probably like actually got sacked and the guy fell on there. No, No,
he was just running people over. Yeah, and you talked
about his excitement level, like it never felt like Derek
Carr was excited to be here just it never did.
Speaker 3: Even getting paid forty million dollars a year. Yeah, and
you know me, I hated it from from Jump Street.
Speaker 4: But when he popped on to our zoom the other
day by accident, he was on the wrong serious XM show.
Speaker 3: He was so excited and this is not on air,
this is during a break on a zoom.
Speaker 4: He was so excited to talk about the New Orleans
Saints and show us he had his three Saints hats
and like he had this huge smile on his face
and he was already talking about the Saints organization. You've
got somebody that's fully bought in. He's got the talent. Really,
I promise you. My main concern is not can he play,
it's can he stay healthy?
Speaker 2: It's uh and again I'm i'm, I'm, I'm I'm a
little high. I don't know what I don't know about
cant he stay healthy? But i'm I are on the
health front in terms of not having lingering issues because
it is all broken bones pretty much. It's two collar
bones of what a broken leg? Maybe, yeah, he.
Speaker 3: Had a shoulder, a collar bone.
Speaker 2: You had two collar bones.
Speaker 5: It was both non throwing arm.
Speaker 3: But god, that's like one of the most painful breaks
I've heard too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean at least it was.
Speaker 2: Again again, these are not injuries that cause your body
lasting damage whatever.
Speaker 3: And he was healthy all last year. So here's to
I'm just saying that, like, Okay, now he's here. Look
and this is the other thing. Man, You know, I'm
not a scout. I don't evaluate quarterback play. I'm not
Kellen Moore.
Speaker 2: And again, so if coach Tief says this is my
guy that we're gonna roll with and like, yeah, that
that's that, then I'm gonna roll with.
Speaker 3: Him as well.
Speaker 2: And who knows, man, maybe maybe this is maybe this
as a start of something special that you never would
have seen coming. Sometimes in sports, especially, you get these
truth or stranger than fiction moments, And this would make
a hell of a story if Tyler Shuck was to
end up being a really good NFL quarterback.
Speaker 3: I had a quote I was listening to Uh.
Speaker 2: The Two Towers read by Andy Serkis this morning on
the way into work, and air Gorn has a line
where they're kind of wondering if they should do this
thing because they were like, you know, it's just gonna
fail anyway, and he says, there are some things that
it is better to begin than to refuse, even if
the end may be dark. And so I don't know, man,
maybe this doesn't work out, Maybe Shuck sucks, maybe Teef sucks,
but you know what, damn it, I'm gonna go into
it fully optimistic and hoping for the best. So shout out,
Tyler Shuck. I'm on your side. Now man, and I
hope that, uh, I hope that you end up being
a great quarterback and that you can take the Saints back,
make it through this awful Derek Carr contract, and maybe
even get back to the playoffs once again. We'll see,
we'll see. Shout out tells shot. All right, when we
get back here on OTB, I do want to talk
a little bit about Devin Neil. We just got a
little uh lost in the shuck sauce there, so some
Devin Neil a breakdown coming up next here and off
the bench.
Speaker 3: Off the bench, go to cool Pro hvac.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff
mixed in off the bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 2: I just got back in the studio, looked at my computer,
and the first thing I see is Daniel asking t
Bop if you got to wear full pads and helmet,
would you do a firing squad with rubber bullets for
like charity or a cool shirt or something. M No,
no fire squardners rubber bullets sounds very dangerous still and
awful awful No no. Uh Now, maybe like if somebody's
giving like twenty thousand of dreams come true or something,
then like maybe we can have a discussion. Maybe not
like a full firing squad, But no, I don't think
so oh would hurt. I'm not Johnny Knoxville dude, even
though I did fall into a hole the other day
of like a couple of Instagram accounts that are doing
like modern day jackass stuff, and I had two thoughts,
one of which was like, oh man, I'm a little
too old for this because all this is stressing me out,
And the second thought was like, there's not much more room. Guys,
like they're doing some really dumb stuff. Did y'all see
the kid in hockey pads get tackled down the full
flight of stairs. I haven't seen.
Speaker 3: His friend spears him. His friend.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of injuries that those pads, not just
it's not.
Speaker 2: Tied to jackass anyway. It's just big social media councilor
and really dumb stuff. His friend, he's got his back
to a flight of stairs, his friend spears him. His
feet don't touch a single stayre. They go all the
way to the bottom, and his friend lands directly on
him on his back.
Speaker 5: I don't know, well, I guess my qualtion. The guy
tackling him, does he have pads two?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But he his fall got broken by the guy, he
tackled just really dumb stuff. Don't do that.
Speaker 3: Guys, do you know the name of this page?
Speaker 7: I do not.
Speaker 2: It's just me out too much. But I'm sure we
can find this tackling pads guy. It's awful though it's
don't don't watch it.
Speaker 3: Don't watch it. I've just been sitting here thinking of
more Tyler shuck. The possibilities are just incredible like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think so like you one and just
got mine. If you don't give a damn, we don't
give a shuck. Oh oh, yes, you mean like shirts
and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's insane, It's insane. I think that's where I
want to land. I love the idea. I don't know
exactly how.
Speaker 2: I love the idea of tying in oysters with it,
like like yes, like a double onum tandra play on
a dirty word, but combined.
Speaker 3: With some oyster imagery is what is what ultimately trying
to song?
Speaker 4: You know New Orleans Saints have you know a lot
of fans that are in the big Fave, Big Fave
you don't curse.
Speaker 3: It's a perfect way for you to remake the song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do they say? And uh, what do they say,
and risky business. Sometimes you just gotta say shuck it. Yeah,
make that shirt with an oyster with sunglasses on in
his underwear, bang done U? Or or make make like
shirts with Derek Carr's face with like an X over
him or like the no smoking thing on him and
it says like shuck him or like shuck this guy.
Like there's like yeah, there, there's there's there's a Again,
if he's good.
Speaker 5: The seafood restaurants in New Orleans, if.
Speaker 3: He's good, yes, the potential is massive massive, and who knows. Look, yeah,
he's twenty six years old.
Speaker 2: Maybe that age means that he can acclimate a bit quicker.
You don't need to, because again he is your QB one.
As crazy as that is. Here's your QB one, all right.
I don't want to go like Devin ne in like
two minutes. So what else can we jump to here?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: Congratulations to you, Alandra. Yep, you're feeling pretty nice and
cocky today, aren't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I love having two back to back Rookie of the
Years for my team. Stefan Castle well deserved, as if.
Speaker 3: The Spurs didn't have it nice enough. Back to back
rookies of.
Speaker 2: The year, you're still watching every other team second. Yeah,
so I'm talking about the future, guys, I'm talking about Hope.
I'm talking about no one's good.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna gas slightest. They have Wimby and Stefan
Castle and de Aaron Fox shut up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're in Galliston fishing right now because.
Speaker 6: They're young, because they're young, because they they're coaches in
a weird health spot. Like they'll get like, y'all are
crazy if you think you shouldn't be head over here
like so excited your.
Speaker 7: Spurs fan, You don't have a coach, that's the problem.
Speaker 2: This is the second time in the last fifty years
there's been a team that have back to back.
Speaker 3: Rookies of the Year.
Speaker 7: Timmy d the other one.
Speaker 2: Well, well they weren't back to back, but other Spurs
that have want to Yeah, Tim Duncan and David Robinson,
they were pretty good with.
Speaker 3: Yeah freaking jerks.
Speaker 7: Well in a year where you know, we weren't at
our best and Pop was out pretty much the entire season.
Speaker 2: I mean he's probably done right, Yeah, Yeah, was out.
Speaker 7: The entire season, and then you lose Wimby two. I
mean Stefan Castle was a real bright spot in the
Spurs this year.
Speaker 2: He was great.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like I think his highest scoring game is like
thirty three points off the bench.
Speaker 3: I mean he dominated the voting. No one is even close.
He averaged him near eighteen.
Speaker 2: After the All Star Game, he led all rookies and points, steals,
free throws, shots.
Speaker 3: I mean Mayfield Wal's played in eighty games. Imagine that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's how you know he don't play in New
Orleans exactly exactly if he played it, if he played
for the Pelicans, it take him two years to play
eighty games.
Speaker 2: Von Blueser says Forder Gator Desmond Watson broke an all
time NFL record the heaviest player ever in the NFL,
four to six four pounds. They also have Tess Johnson,
who I think might be the lightest player in the NFL,
who's like one hundred and sixty eight pounds.
Speaker 8: Well, keep in mind, who's going to be next to
Desmond Watson is Vitavea, who's like three sixty.
Speaker 2: But hold on now, I don't actually think Desmond watching
is that good.
Speaker 5: No, I don't either.
Speaker 2: When we've seen him play for years and he's made
I seen like a couple plays.
Speaker 3: It's when he's out.
Speaker 5: There space fillers.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, do you have Vita Vea and Watson together if.
Speaker 2: He makes the team and is on the field. Yeah,
those are two big men, big duo standing next to
each other. All right, when we get back day, let's
talk about Devin Neil.
Speaker 3: Keep it locked, go to it off the bench.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the seventh ranked morning sports show in America.
Off the Bench and with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 5: Oh about.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: Over the next couple of weeks will probably like maybe
like a segment on each Saint Shaft pick or something
that if I find them be interesting enough. Of course,
we can get the guys like Danny Stutsman. But the
guy who's got my attention today is Devin Neil, sixth
round running back pick out of Kansas. Now, again, if
you watch a lot of college football, you know about
Devin Neil because he's been awesome for like three years. Hell,
if you played that college football video game, you probably
know a lot about Devin Neil because a lot of
people like to play with Kansas and kick ass with
Devin Neil. And this is a very deep running back
class this year and had it up been so Nebe
probably goes earlier than six round.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, it's kind of.
Speaker 2: Crazy to think about getting a player. He's only twenty
one years old. He averaged one four hundred and thirty
yards a season, but not onlike an exorbitant amount of carries.
A lot of carries, about one ninety per He averaged
six yards of carry in college. He rushed for forty
one touchdowns sixteen in each of the last two years.
Called seventy seven balls of the years.
Speaker 3: What's that work?
Speaker 2: And then how about this in twenty twenty four, Jake,
you'll appreciate this. He averaged three point seven yards per
carry after contact. This is a super productive running back
to add to the mix here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, little surprise he lasted this long, and you're right,
it was a very deep class. But he's got the measurables.
I mean, he's somebody that's two hundred and fifteen pounds.
He ran a four to five to three this pro day,
a broad jump of ten to four vertical of thirty
seven and a half. So the explosion is there. And
you mentioned how productive he was. Also like he went
to Lawrence High school. He's from Lawrence, Kansas. Like he
decided to stay home. He had a lot of people calling,
but he wanted to stay home play for the hometown team.
And look, Kansas has obviously struggled in football, but he's
part of what made them watchable.
Speaker 3: Right, And yeah, nice little run for the Jayhawks and.
Speaker 2: They were they they should have been better overall last
year so to this winning year of role, but they
finished damn strong West job. I don't know what went
so wrong with him at the beginning of the year,
a little bit of Jayalen Daniel's not really having it,
but they finished beating some very good teams down the stretch.
Speaker 4: He led the team in rushing four straight years. Right
set school career records with over four thousand rushing yards
fifty three total touchdowns. So even going back to his
friend ushman year he had seven hundred and seven rushing yards,
he was their leading rusher and that year, being a
true freshman, still ran for eight scores.
Speaker 3: But after that year yards.
Speaker 4: Per attempt six point one, six point three, five point eight.
Very productive in the Big twelve. And somebody like you said,
like every college football fan has watched him play been
impressed by his play and to get him where you
got him.
Speaker 3: I do think it's a great pickup for the Saints.
Speaker 4: You mentioned he has seventy seven catches in his career
as well, So I'm not sure exactly why he lasted
until where he did, because all the boxes that you
want to check, as far as speed and height and
weight and explosion and certainly production, well they're all met here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean maybe, yeah, Well I'm not.
Speaker 3: Actually I was. I was gonna be like maybe, Folcus,
but I don't. I don't know. I do know that, like.
Speaker 2: If if we are just guessing on a guy, like
if I'm just coming to a guy and I'm not
a scout, I'm not this.
Speaker 3: I'm not that.
Speaker 2: Again, I do like guys who were productive in college,
especially with some of the traps the Saints have fallen
into the last few years. We're getting so obsessed with
ras the relative athletics score and using that to over
to kind of overshadow well did he actually play? Was
he actually effective? And this dude was out here rushing
for over fourteen hundred yards six yards of carrying sixteen
tonnies a year, Like that's that's okay, Yes, yes, It's
like the same thing with Stutsman out of Oklahoma. You know, Baller,
I don't know if it translates.
Speaker 3: To the NFL.
Speaker 2: Sue me Baller in college though, he kicked his peers ass.
And I'm okay with taking a shot on a guy
who kicked his peers ass. And look, I mean this
seems like a guy who a bit of a workloaw
horse here. He's younger, helps him take a lot of
pressure off of ak shoulders. Get Kendre Miller decide if
he wants to be an NFL player or not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I know, like Kendre Miller changed his number,
he changed his attitude, he's ready to go. Okay, well,
you should have come into the league like that. That
should have been your mentality from Jump Street.
Speaker 2: It was not.
Speaker 4: And so like that's not a position that is by
any means his, Like he's gonna have to compete. And
now you bring in Devon Neil, You've got Clyde there
as well. Like if Kenjre Miller is back on the
stuff that he was on over the last couple of seasons,
he ain't gonna be there.
Speaker 3: Like that third round pick, that status is typically for
two years. Like you'll get some mulligans because you're a
third round pick now at this point, if Devon Neil
comes in, he plays better than you.
Speaker 4: If Clyde certainly you know last year we saw a
flash for him in New Orleans. If he plays better
than you, you will be at the house.
Speaker 2: Well, think about that third round pick is to Jake
that it gets you lee way, but when it flips,
I feel like it almost slips even worse against you
because there's kind of a latent anger there. Like we mad,
we spent a third round pick on you, and this
is what you're giving us.
Speaker 3: So you gotta play.
Speaker 2: You gotta play third round picks that you expect to
get starter and third round pick. So Devin Neil an
exciting name in the sixth round, a very very productive
college player.
Speaker 3: We love to see it.
Speaker 2: Our two of OTV coming up Nex
