my best one. Like you don't do that, Like if
you throw a good past you'd be like, oh you
all see that? Oh see a ball? Some people do.
Speaker 2: I guess you are that. When it comes to reading fast,
I do it.
Speaker 3: You could just let it be, all right, So we
all know this is a Florida hate show. We hate them,
We don't like them any we don't like them, we
don't like them this week, that week, any week, right,
but certainly when it's Florida hate week.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: Now it's earlier than normal normally this is an October game.
It's a little bit deeper into the season. Maybe sometimes
you'll get the end of September. I don't really know.
I know it's never this early, but it is this year, okay.
And you have an LSU football team that is two
to no. You have an LSU football team that has
one of the best wins in the country so far
this year on the road against the Clemson team that
was a top five team. You have a team here
in Baton Rouge that's got a defense that looks like
a defense.
Speaker 4: Of yesteryear when they went seeing an inspired defense.
Speaker 2: I'n't seen it in a while.
Speaker 3: You've got a defense that wants to impose their will
on their opponent every play, not every game, every play.
It's a lot of fun. You got a quarterback that
is a Heisman contender. In fact, he's a front runner
for the Heisman Trophy. So a lot of things to
be excited about. And you got an opportunity before you
have another in state school game in a couple of weeks,
to go out there and let Florida know just how
much you don't like the Florida Gators. And so I
would encourage everybody that has tickets, or even if you
don't have tickets to the game and you just want
to go tailgate, like, I'd encourage you to go out
there and just fill up campus.
Speaker 4: SEC Nation is going to be here.
Speaker 3: If Florida would have beat South Florida, you probably would
have had game day. They didn't hold up there into
the bargain. But still SEC Nation is going to be here.
And your head coach Brian Kelly had this to say
about this upcoming game against Florida.
Speaker 6: You know, we're in Tiger Stadium and so we need
to be Death Valley. We need to live up to
our resume as the most difficult place to play in
the country.
Speaker 2: Because it's SEC time.
Speaker 6: So you had your warm up tailgates, you know, you
got your recipes down, you got how much you need
for drinking.
Speaker 2: Now let's go get it.
Speaker 6: Let's make Tiger Stadium what it is been built on.
Speaker 7: And that is.
Speaker 6: An incredibly difficult place to play. And so that's my
first shout out to our fan base.
Speaker 2: We need you this weekend and then we'll.
Speaker 6: Provide the standard of in terms of how we need
to play.
Speaker 3: And very well said, very well said, that's challenging your
fan base. It is like I went to the game
this weekend. Obviously a laundro went to the game. There's
a lot of people there this weekend. Like traffic was
kind of bad.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: I understand. I know it's traffic. We live in Baton Rouge.
We have that every day. But we need to live
up to Death Valley and Tiger Stadium in the number
one atmosphere. Right this is Florida under the lights. I
don't care what the score is like, sit in your seat,
stand up in your seat, whatever you want to do,
and just cheer your ass off for sixty minutes. I
would challenge everybody to give Florida your absolute best. Show
up early, tailgate all day, be there all day, fill
up campus. There's not a better feeling in the world
than when you go to a football game on campus
at LSU and when you walk on to campus at
ten am, you already filled the electricity for a night game.
If you could bottle it up and sell it, you
can name your price. That's what this weekend should be.
Inside of Tiger Stadium, outside of Tiger Stadium all day,
the entire day, Like, that's what this should be. And
then once you get there, stay there, stay there.
Speaker 2: Like look, I.
Speaker 3: Understand what the game was last weekend. I know that
it was you know, you never really pulled away, but
you were always going to win the game.
Speaker 2: I understand it. But I don't want to see that.
Speaker 3: I don't want to see that at you know, in
the fourth quarter where it's like you can count the
number of fans, like I fully challenge you to come early,
stay for the game, cheer your butt off, and let
Florida know just how much all of us collectively hate them,
dislike them very much, like let them know, like be
fully throated in the entire game. Because for Louisiana Tech,
y'all showed up pretty early, and y'all were there for
the beginning of the game for a non conference game.
But let's have that and then some and then stay
the entire game and cheer your butt off for sixty minutes.
Speaker 5: Yeah they were, They were there losing Tech there for
we weren't there for a long time. They're there for
a good time, which it was.
Speaker 7: I actually told Hunt that I felt like more people
stayed than usual Saturday.
Speaker 3: Night, more than normal for a non conference game, but
still got there.
Speaker 2: Still need more people.
Speaker 7: To just stay the game, stay the whole game.
Speaker 2: That's why I that bad. I mean, it's and it's
gonna kind of be what it is. You know it is.
It's traffic, it's countra flows thinks.
Speaker 3: But if you beat Florida, you can go to your
car and maybe you have one, you know, Cole pop,
and you sit there and you just wait it out
and you can watch pac twelve after dark if that
was still a thing after.
Speaker 2: Dark or what is it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's an eleven PM game this weekend.
Speaker 2: Nice watched that. That's how the better get it get
it back right there.
Speaker 4: That's how then catches up for missing on the other games.
Speaker 2: Is betting Hawaii.
Speaker 5: That's right, Well you got it. You got to get
it back somehow. But uh, I hate Florida always do,
make no qualms about it. Dislike them, but I love
the rivalry. I love that they're there. I love that
they're there to hate. I've never been so mad at
Florida losing a football game than this past weekend. I
didn't want them to lose that game. I wanted them
to win that game. I wanted them to come in
here with some confidence. I wanted them to come in
here with another win. I wanted a LSU when we
stomped them this week in. I wanted it to look
better on paper than them coming off of loss to
South Florida because I know that subconsciously, fan bases do
look at matchups, no matter what the logo is on
the opposing team's helmet. They look at the record, They
look at the matchups. They look to see the win
loss record just as much. Maybe you could admit to that,
maybe you can't, but subconsciously it is. But we spent
all off season arguing and fighting another fan base and
going back and forth on social media about who the
real death value is. Well, we proved that one Death
Vallee's fake, and we prove that we hold the rights
to Death Valley. But you can only hold it as
long as you can prove it. So I challenge everybody
to prove it this weekend. Brian Kelly just gave you
permission to drink as many pops as you want.
Speaker 2: It's preferred. Get out there, be loud, be early like.
Speaker 5: There's nothing as an imposing team more intimidating than when
you walk out for a pregame warm up. In your
full path. You're trying to like, get a feel for
the field, the grass, the environment, what the air feels like,
the noise I'm feeling where you know, how the where
the lights are. You're you're testing everything out gating ready
for the game in a foreign environment that you don't
get to practice when the crowd is filled up in
rowdy during preseason or pregame warm ups, when both teams
are out on the field before they go to the
locker room before the game. I challenge everybody to get
out there for that. Be loud, make that environment special
this weekend, it is the first SEC game in it's
in Tiger Stadium, it's at night. What can we ask for?
Are you kidding me? We have a Heisman contender, We
have a great team. We finally have a defense that
we can't be proud of, that we can cheer for,
that flies around and fights like a tiger. We have everything.
Everything's out in front of us.
Speaker 2: We can do.
Speaker 5: This team can do anything that they want to do
this season. All everything's out there in front, but we
need the crowd to show up and I challenge, like,
like I said, we've been arguing about the real Death Valley.
Speaker 2: We'll prove it. Make everyone believe it, make them no.
Speaker 4: Doubts about it.
Speaker 5: It needs to come alive this weekend. And by live,
I mean it needs to be crazy.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: So get out there all day, party, have fun, but
get in there early and be smart about when you're loud.
And I'm telling you, be loud when the Florida Gators
are on the field. Warm it up for that game.
Speaker 3: And look, I don't know, I have no idea what
the process is. But if you haven't already selected guest
captains for this game, let's roll out Leonard Fournette, Tyron
Matthew and Brad Wing for this game.
Speaker 2: How does that sound right? I'll take it.
Speaker 4: Tyron.
Speaker 2: You can pick him any game.
Speaker 3: But against Florida in twenty eleven, he had a second
and a half, an interception, t two tbus in a
couple of punt returns. Leondard Fournette in twenty fifteen d
he won carries for one hundred and eighty yards and
two tuds and then Brad Wing the touchdown that should
have been counted. That wasn't so die? What about Joe Die? Yeah,
called Joe Ade too. I think he's in Houston. It's
right down the road in two thousand and four, Joe
d beat Florida basically kind of by himself. We ran
the same play over and over again, and they knew
it was coming and they couldn't do a damn thing
about it. And that was in the swamp. So let's
go Leonard Fournette, Tyra Matthew, brad Wing, Joad guest captains.
Let's line the guest captains up with the opponent and
who it is. And also, when you announce who the
guest captains are on the field, give me five seconds
of them dominating the Florida Gators as you announced them
to get the crowd kind of juiced up and ready
to go.
Speaker 2: How's that sound? Sounds great to me?
Speaker 5: Like, I just got some chill bumps thinking about Like
the early parts of the game. Wouldn't like that whole
guest captain situation. The team's already run on the field,
the crowd is lighting up. Oh man, I got chill
bumps thinking about it. I can't wait to be there.
We will be there. I'll be in Death Valley, I'll
be in the studio. And also I'm not going to
be in one of those sweets.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be out there in the bowl, feeling it,
feeling the energy.
Speaker 3: I don't know what ty Davis Price's current situation is.
I know he was with the Eagles. I don't know
where he's currently at, so apologize for that. But if
he's available, have him on the field too, because he
just ran another counter right up their donkey for the
school record of yards in a game.
Speaker 4: So have him out there too.
Speaker 3: You can play ten seconds of his highlights because there's
not enough time in five seconds to show what he
did against Florida, So like, have all of those guys
on the field and show why they're there.
Speaker 4: And then it is a gold game, so where gold?
Speaker 2: All right? Yellow?
Speaker 3: Hey, yellow shirt? Why would you say the yellow on
my shirts yellow? It's like in gold. But it's a
fact my shirt is yellow.
Speaker 2: Don't run this segment on me, Juellen on me. It's
on the color. Really, if you think about.
Speaker 4: It, Nope, purple and gold University.
Speaker 2: Gold's a color, Bud, I got it. My shirt must
not be the proper color then.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Florida stinks definitely not hydrated.
Speaker 7: Is that where you draw the line?
Speaker 2: I draw the line.
Speaker 4: I was about to say, if they are hydra I'm
gonna punch you in your chest.
Speaker 2: I'll draw the line that. Should you give me a call.
Speaker 3: I swear if you ever hydrate them, I'm taking this
hat off and I'm burning it on air.
Speaker 5: I think they got some popsicles this year, actually, Jesus,
m hm, no drinks though, no drinks for them.
Speaker 7: Popsicles are really good, though.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's good though. I can't wait for
I can't wait for the seat.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be good.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be great if I can feel it too.
Speaker 2: Colm Bettery's gonna light up the air. Uh, Jamie.
Speaker 3: Uh, yes, I am now officially official.
Speaker 4: Uh in the broadcast booth.
Speaker 2: I guess. Yes.
Speaker 3: Last year was kind of an interim basis. But yeah, I'll.
Speaker 2: Be there every game. We're just kind of in the booth.
Last year, well, I was filling in for Doug. Okay, yeah,
I had.
Speaker 3: I had agreed to do the road games, but I
turned into doing the full season interim basis, you know,
and I got to tag removed prior to this season.
Speaker 2: Good. It's so funny.
Speaker 8: Hell, lets you announce these things like I'm flying home Sunday.
I guess the article came out like Saturday, you know,
before the first game, and my mom calls me, Hey,
did you yaw the guy you work with, Jacob Pester
or did you.
Speaker 4: See his new gig?
Speaker 2: And I was like, am I missing something? I know?
What do you mean new gig? I was like, did
he leave two? And she's reading it to me leave
to I'm like, that's not news. She was, what do
you mean? I was like, he did that last year.
Speaker 8: But I was like, LSU just announced with stuff, abandonment issues.
Speaker 4: I started getting well.
Speaker 3: I started getting a bunch of text messages on Friday
or Saturday, whenever that happened.
Speaker 2: It was congratulations. I'm like, what a miss, what happened?
Speaker 4: Tell me everything? So you know, I didn't know either,
sod for you.
Speaker 2: Congratulations, thank you, thank you, thank you. I am very excited.
I mean it's fun, enjoy it.
Speaker 5: I mean, pencils are break any pencils this weekend. I
didn't break any pencils.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't. I did not.
Speaker 3: I stood up the whole game. Though I did stand up.
I was kind of pacing back and forth a little bit.
I was, yeah, mumbling to myself, disappointed.
Speaker 5: You didn't you didn't care enough about the last game
to break pencils.
Speaker 3: I didn't break any of Gainst Clympson either. Now, last
Florida game, that was a record. You remember, like in
middle school, used call like gosh, I forget the.
Speaker 2: Brand of the pencils. Each call it did you all
play like.
Speaker 3: Pencil whack, like where you tried to break the pencils
break whatever? What was the name of like the you know,
like bick. No, it's kind of like the the the
expensive pencils that was like three bucks.
Speaker 2: But sure.
Speaker 3: I would have gone through fourteen of those during last
year's Florida game.
Speaker 5: Uh taekwonder uga. I would have broken fourteen of those.
That's the good ones. Yeah, those are the good ones.
Speaker 3: So here's the break course any pencils during the broadcast,
because that means things are going well for the Tigers.

Speaker 2: You can pick up your mind high there as well.
Speaker 3: I mean, they got so many great options right there
while we're sitting doing the show on Friday, right they
got the breakfast bar, They've got like all the things
going on in front of us.
Speaker 2: It makes us really hungry.
Speaker 3: A lot of people have actually come and sat down
and had their breakfast and listened to the show, which
is kind of cool.
Speaker 4: So you can do that as well.
Speaker 3: What better Friday to do it then Florida Week, So
come hang out with us this Friday seven to ten am.
Speaker 4: Will be at Rouses on Burbank all right through.
Speaker 3: Let's see through week two of college football heading into
week three, so if you count week zero as well,
but record versus non conference Power four teams, the SEC
eight and two, the Big Ten four and three, the
Big twelve, four and six, and the ACC three and nine.
But with that being said, there's a lot of people
that still believe there is an SEC bias in this
last AP Top twenty five because you got some teams
that entered the Top twenty five for the first time
at twenty four and twenty five the Auburn Tigers and
the Miszoo Tigers. Arizona State drops out, well, should have
lost to Mississippi State. Florida drops out. That's an SEC
team that dropped out. Cippy State actually gets a lot
of momentum. They get fifty two votes in the AP
Top twenty five, but Arizona State, Florida SMU drop out.
Speaker 4: Two SEC teams enter. I mean SEC has.
Speaker 3: Done really well. They've done really well in these power
for contest. I mean, obviously Lshu's got the biggest win
against Clemson, but.
Speaker 2: I mean you got four SEC teams in the top ten.
Speaker 3: But look, I mean as far as like the Big ten,
you got one, two and four.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame.
Speaker 4: So do we think there is a clear.
Speaker 3: Top contender in the SEC or with ten teams in
the top twenty five, do we feel like it's as
wide open as it's been in a long time.
Speaker 5: Well, it is certainly more wide open than it has
been in a long term.
Speaker 3: So right now you've got lis You at three, You've
got Georgia at six, You've got Texas at seven, South
Carolina at eleven, Oklahoma at thirteen, Tennessee at fifteen, A
and M at sixteen, Ole Miss at seventeen, Alabama at nineteen,
and then twenty four and twenty five Auburn and MISSOO,
I actually think it's as wide open as it's been
in a long time, like so many, I mean not
only coach Saban, but for Kirby Smart and Georgia too.
I mean, let's let's give them their flowers back to
back national champs. They won the SEC last year, but
even Georgia right now they feel like, I mean, they
didn't pull away from Austin p The governors gave them,
you know, a little bit of a fight. So I
do think it is as wide open as it's been.
And LSU's right now the top ranked team out.
Speaker 2: Of the SEC. Is that really their mascot? Yeah, governors, Yeah,
the governors.
Speaker 8: It's It's why in the off season we always said
the preface and say, guys, we're not saying this because
we're a Shoe fans. They're the only team that is
considered a top team talent wise.
Speaker 2: With a returning quarterback.
Speaker 8: Look at the returning quarterbacks, like Lagway's returning didn't start
a full season. Florida has a brutal schedule, Blake Shapen's back,
Mississippi State's not going to be any good.
Speaker 2: It just is what it is. And then you look
at some of the top schools.
Speaker 8: Texas Archie Manning, news Starter, Georgia Gunnerstock, and Alabama Ti Simpson.
Like the teams that are at the top of the
conference with elite playmakers or breaking in brand new quarterbacks,
the returning quarterbacks, they don't have a lot around them.
Like that's why coming into the season you look at
Lshue and you're like, they're the only team with the
mixture of both. So like, I like Lshue at the
top of that, but yeah, the conference is wide open
because the experienced quarterbacks are on lesser teams.
Speaker 5: And I think that the concern a handful of years ago,
or maybe maybe a little bit less than that, with
the nil the pay for play paying players. I think
the concern was that college football becoming so top heavy
because only the schools with a lot of money, the
top dogs, would be able to afford players. The lower
schools would not be able to compete against them. The
opposite has happened. More parody has come to college football.
Like everybody like from top to bottom. Even your teams
that are at the bottom, they can win any single week.
Speaker 2: And it has.
Speaker 5: Created this world to which the SEC is absolutely wide open.
And I know that like the easy the finger to
point is well Saban's gone, But you're right, Kirby, Smart
and Georgia deserve there.
Speaker 2: They deserve their flowers as well.
Speaker 5: But I believe that it is just this whole world
that we live in that nobody like loves the spirit
of it, right of the amateurism being taken away from
the college sport and all that stuff. We can we
can old man on the line that all we want,
but the fact of the matter is it's a better
product on the field. The product on the field is
still really good and there is. It is awesome to
go into a season in the SEC where you got
this many teams in the top conference, in the top
twenty five, everybody with a legit chance to win the SEC.
You don't know how it's going to play play out,
which is awesome. And this whole pay for play thing,
however you feel about it, you cannot argue that is
had kind of the opposite effect that we all thought
it was going to have. At the beginning, which was everybody,
college football is going to become so top heavy it's
not fun. Well, the opposite has happened, and it has
actually like spread the love everywhere, which and nobody can
argue with the product that has shown to us every
single week.
Speaker 3: Is there any team before we take a break, is
there any team in that top twenty five of the
SEC so ten teams? Is there any team that you
didn't have being this successful and you actually maybe put
them in a category of being championship relevant in the SEC,
not national, But in the SEC.
Speaker 2: I have one Oklahoma.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the top tier is coming to mind way in
Auburn cracks the top twenty five and twenty four. They're
not champing ready. But who had that? Uh in Oklahoma
being thirteen right now? If we had to pick a
Heisman winner right now.
Speaker 8: It's it's it's John Johnny And you know, we knew
the talent was there, but how went the SEC?
Speaker 2: It's not?
Speaker 8: And then you lost Baler Sharp, if you lost Nick Anderson.
You even lost to Jackson Arnold, which they hated him,
but he started a lot of games. Revenables offense hadn't
looked good in a couple of years, but you bring
in Matier.
Speaker 5: Rights and he transferred to like the transfer of his
talent from once you used to never know how it's
gonna like he did great at Washington State.
Speaker 2: You never know.
Speaker 5: And of course they haven't played SEC yet, so you
still don't know. We don't know how good Michigan is.
We clearly, as a one brain cell before the season
didn't think that they were going to be that good.
So how good are they really? I guess we'll see
September twentieth. I guess that'll be their first SEC test
against Auburn. But I like, if you're if you're having
to like gun in my head, who's going to win
the Hudsman?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 5: It's it's John Mattier as of right now. We'll see
once SEC play starts. But yeah, that's a surprising one
right there. But yeah, it's it's anybody's for the taking
right now?
Speaker 4: Can I interest anyone in the Missouri Tigers?
Speaker 2: Nope?
Speaker 4: Beat Kansas Border War, No, So I can't.
Speaker 2: Not a real team.
Speaker 3: They've got Louisiana Lafayette coming up this weekend. Then you've
got South Carolina South Carolina game that'll be until yeah
at home.
Speaker 7: I also think that the game they have this weekend
versus Vanderbilt is going to be interesting too, because South
Carolina is gonna be awesome. Virginia Tech.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be a great game.
Speaker 3: So for Missouri, they do have Louisiana Lafayette, South Carolina
at home, UMass at home, Alabama at home. Remember they
don't leave Como until October the eighteenth, and when they
go on the road to Jordan Hare and take on
the Auburn Tigers. Now they got Auburn and Bandy back
to back weeks on the road.
Speaker 2: Code.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying now, looking at Alabama like that game,
it looks more winnable certainly than it did at home.
Speaker 2: Top twenty five team, don't sleep on drink.
Speaker 3: Okay, wow, all right, cool, this guy loves It's got loves,
but he won't.
Speaker 7: Let me talk about that schedule is pretty it's all
at home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great last year too.
Speaker 8: Like shout out to whoever the hell gets to make
the Missouri schedule, Like give those guys a payas.
Speaker 2: No, don't fire them.
Speaker 3: I mean like they played against their rival in Kansas
out of the Big twelve, that was cool.
Speaker 7: You talk about three games stretch though, they're at Auburn
at Vandy and then they host Texas A and M.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's their toughest one.
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure. Well I'm hell Mississippi State. Who knows
what that looks like now?
Speaker 7: True?
Speaker 4: And that certainly they are Oklahoma.
Speaker 7: Yeah, then they close out the season at Argus.
Speaker 4: They just have to win their home games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you gotta take advantage of not going on
the road and talked Ober the eighteen, and then you look,
if you split your your away games, then you're part
of the conversation. So I just want to bring up
Missouri because I know how much Matt hates the show
me state.
Speaker 5: You love Missouri, Dude, I don't see a call their games.
They didn't ask me you would first shadow. What Matt
doesn't understand is if you could.
Speaker 2: Go back to high school, would you go to Missouri? No?
Would you choose Missouri? No? I don't even know. If
I ever talked to me, he could do it all
over again. Jacob Besterer would go to Missouri.
Speaker 3: When somebody asked you before the season, hey, who's your
sleeper pick in the SEC you come up with one,
and then you follow that team and then you update
the people on how that team's doing. Because if you're
wrong here, at least here on this show, you gotta
be like, shoof, I missed that one. I was totally
awful on that one. And then if they're good, you're like, yeah,
I could see that, I understand why.
Speaker 4: And so it's not like you're just you know.
Speaker 5: There's a difference between explaining yourself and then and the
emotions that you with it, Like the little couple extra
adjectives you throw in there, how you wax play, You
go on about them like you can tell. You can
tell when somebody likes somebody or loves somebody, you can
tell I liked my sleeper pick was Auburn. I don't
sit here and talk about how much I love Auburn
because they beat your Baylor Bears. You're still bitter about
sleeper pick. Name me five players for the Auburn Tigers. Yep, exactly, all.
Speaker 4: Right, We'll take a break more OTV when we come back.
Speaker 2: Hugh Freeze.
Speaker 3: He played Bo Jackson, Roddy Brown, Cadillac, Williams, Cole.

Speaker 2: Yeah, no TV.
Speaker 3: This was the cassette single that I brought home because
Grandma bought it and the parents said, oh really, you
got one over on Grandma.
Speaker 4: Let's play that.
Speaker 3: Let's see what that says. And the old principals didn't
like the message that old Beck was sending. But great songs, Yeah,
they took that real quick. I got this and my
brother got busted. Rhymes got you all in check and
both those got confiscated. Yeah, of all the songs that like,
I looked back at, that's a that's it's a rough one.
The lyrics, that's a great song.
Speaker 2: Great song.
Speaker 4: The lyrics you know when when you're when you're a youth,
when you're.
Speaker 2: You, you don't like that. You just like the melody.
But yeah, that's not a great message, not a great message.
Speaker 4: All right, So I'm gonna throw it back to Tata.
Speaker 3: So one of the great right spots for the New
Orleans Saints Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals was Julian Blackman.
Speaker 2: I mean he was He was all over the place.
What a great signing.
Speaker 3: The day I went to training camp, I'm like, man,
this guy's been here for like ten minutes. He looks great.
What's the latest there, Tayte with Julian Blackman.
Speaker 8: Yeah, appears Julian Backman appears that he has done for
the entire season.
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore said, cool, his.
Speaker 8: Shoulder injury looks like it's going to be a season
long issue where it is torn labram, which is something
he suffered last season as well.
Speaker 2: Guys, you got to stop talking good about Saints players.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because we did this with trading Welch and he
got cut thirty seconds after we were talking about it yesterday.
We came on here and was like, hey, how short
he looks so good Saints, Julian Blackman look good. Well,
he's likely done for the season as well, So tough
blow for the Saints. Maybe the only positive it's how
good yonis Sankers look, so he could slide right in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sanker and Howden because you had to replace iron
and they did it with black men, and they did
it with black men. Now black man's out, but you
have Jordan Allen and you have Jonah Saint.
Speaker 4: Curtains Saints Gosh, get some good luck.
Speaker 3: We're ass has a great write up about it on
Louisiana Sports dot Net, so you can check that out.
It talks about maybe what the Saints are going to
do now moving forward. So with a torn laboram if
this was end of November, even early December, I bet
that he would say, let's ride, we're good, we'll figure
it out. I tore my labor on Christmas Day. We
played against the Titans and we had already clinched the playoffs,
and they were like, hey, we'll just we'll play. We'll
give you some medicine, we'll get some tour, we'll figure
it out after the season. Like that's something we'll worry
about later because we're at the back end of the season.
So you can play with that. You know, week one
torn labor. That is tough for a safety that's just
continuing to obviously make hits with this.
Speaker 2: Shoulder and is a worse. She is a layman. Maybe
something we can ask doc tomorrow. It's a laborum.
Speaker 5: I assume you can tear something worse, or if it's
just but there's parts of your body. It's like, once
it's hurt, it's it's hurt. You're you're not risking any
damage to any other body part. It can't go any worse.
And those are the types of injuries usually play through. Yeah,
there's always decisions to be made. If you have a
slight tear or some sort of injury that you can
certainly hurt it worse, or that injury can lead to
a more severe something. That's when decisions have to be made.
But I'd be interested to know about the labor it
sounds I mean muscle tears. Usually you can hurt those
things worse. So yeah, you gotta you gotta shut it
down and get that that right, especially for a safety
to I mean coming downhill. The the hits only keep
getting bigger in the NFL every single year, people could
get getting stronger and faster. I was watching the game
last night and just this weekend, just a Sunday, I
was like, look at looked at Lacy, and I was
like football, looks painful, looks like it hurts out there.
Speaker 2: That's a big mellow. Yeah, yeah, well you're wondering. I'm
glad you said it, not me. That's a big blow.
Speaker 3: That's a huge blow for the New Orleans Saints certainly
somebody again it's been not only a bright spot in
week one, but really like the day he got to
the training facility, like he was a bright spot. So uh,
we'll update you on like the forty nine ers injuries
as well. Nick Underhill will join us coming up in
about fifteen minutes from now. Let's go ahead and take
a break though, because when we come back, let's get

like only champions can.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back here. Let's get to you a
little OTB mail bag.
Speaker 2: I help this special delivery for the bench and look
it is marked most urgent. We'll be writing to you
the internet. What the is the internet.
Speaker 4: Hashtag? Go to B mailbag.
Speaker 3: Why does Austin Thomas wear a headset on the sidelines
during the game.
Speaker 4: Isn't he an administrator? He's the general manager?
Speaker 3: I would assume and I don't know this, but I
would assume maybe just the operations of it, just an
extra ear just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of wanted the same thing, maybe even.
Speaker 3: Like, uh, maybe he's got the chart.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's in charge of the chart, the fourth down chart,
the when to go for two charts. I don't know that,
I'm just speculation.
Speaker 5: It's usually somebody on the staff in the NFFL, there
was like somebody that was hired just for that. But
do some of the staff that is in charge of
like special situations in clock management, like to remind the
coach when they can call timeouts, when they should take
a knee, when they should review something from the booth.
Speaker 2: There's usually one person, so.
Speaker 5: It's usually like booth reviews, like the head coach gets
poop pooed on when they get them wrong. But it's
usually somebody else telling them to review a lot of
time clock management happens that way too, So.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the role is. I kind of
wonder the same thing during the game.
Speaker 3: Though, hashtag go to B mailbag, Will we finally assemble
an OTB shotgun party? Gow we got to come up
with a tillgate. Let me do this, Bilbo let me
talk to Trey at Pro Dreams. Maybe we can come
up with something. It's where we do the shows on
Thursdays during home games. Maybe we can come up with
something and you know, charge a little bit and get
it catered and you know, have a couple of cold
pops something like that. You know, maybe we can get
that done. Hashtag go to be mail bag friend, debate,
help me settle it. Are the Saints just as close
to winning the division as the Cowboys are to winning
their division?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 8: Yep, yeah, they actually probably have a better probably actually
have everybody's division is better.
Speaker 5: I got one here, uh, Jake and Matt. I heard
Rattler call zipper a few times during the game. Do
y'all think that's a play or a protection call? If
it's a kill kill, whatever it is, My media reaction
would be like, football is not that hard.
Speaker 2: It's not like it's not rocket size.
Speaker 3: Hey, they were calling even an odd did you catch
on the broadcast they were so Knox was watching the
game with me.
Speaker 2: He's my thirteen year old, and I heard him with
the calls I got run left, run right? How did
you know? That?
Speaker 9: Was?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, Yeah, Zipper to me, I mean
I would just stick to the basics for week one.
Speaker 2: They'd probably zoned to the right with a Z.
Speaker 4: And an definitely without question zone.
Speaker 2: To the right.
Speaker 5: Now, I've had zipper and a couple of different Zipper
used to be on one of my offense emotion zipper
used to be a concert there's a past concept on
one offense another concept or another offense. It was a
motion like so the Z zipper motioning in where he
wouldn't get all the way line of scrimmage is like
a short motion in for the Z receiver. But if
he's making an audible it's definitely zone right.
Speaker 3: I would assume, uh, certainly if he put a number
to it. If you put a number on even in
an odd yeah, I mean, without question, that's what that is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So like and I've never had a run like I
was in a lot of offenses, but I never had
a run play that was called a zipper or a
protection that was a Z No. No, no, zone right
would be no.
Speaker 3: We can go over protection names maybe later on, but
now I've never had that. I've had zipper can be
a run or a two man rock combination.
Speaker 2: I've had that. Yep, but not. I can't imagine what
zipper call would be on.
Speaker 5: A protecting I mean you could, like in a lot
of times, it's not always an RNL, so like if
you have one that's clearly an r SO zone right zipper,
you could do something that's opposite of that, like a
button which would go left or velcrow or something like
that would go lest I.
Speaker 2: Mean left and right like you can have. I've been
in an offense that.
Speaker 3: Politicians that lean left were to the left, and then
politicians too lean to the right or to the right,
so like Clinton was to the left.
Speaker 5: Bush was to the right, like or left coast right coast.
We had that, Yeah, yeah, we had we had politicians.
We had left cities, right cities for sure.
Speaker 3: All yeah, we have military bases and where they were. Yeah,
Pendleton was still left and I guess we'd have brag
to the right.
Speaker 5: Pendleton to We had something that was left handers and
right handers. Oh yeah, we we had young Montana that
was like Randy Johnson, Nolan Ryan, something like that.
Speaker 2: You better know your sports history, gotta know. I can't
read that one. Daniel, you know that too.
Speaker 3: Come on, Hash, I go to be mailbag favorite on
field trash talk moment during a Florida game you played in, Uh,
the dumbest one that I ever had. So Brandon Spikes
was habitual line crossing the under the pile. He just
he was and looking a great player and I'm not
even mad, and like, you know, that's what you do
against your rival. He made me mad one time though,
because he did something that was crossing the line a
little bit.
Speaker 4: And uh, he started talking and we line up.
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, we're running right here, like we're running
in this gap right here, like the a gap right here.
I guess me and you like we're going to meet
each other right here. And it was dumb, it was stupid,
but we picked up the first down.
Speaker 2: He made me mad.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, you're talking big, Like, hey, this is
where we're running. We're gonna run that ball, like right
in this a gap right here.
Speaker 2: Look in two thousand and seven, not everything would do
was smart. So he did it. Yeah, did the hell
out of it.
Speaker 5: O TB mailbag just prinh is flint in a laund
your only ball knowers, Are we worried about Nuss's deep
ball or is it at something that can be cleaned up.

a little bit off the other day. Who cares.
Speaker 7: I'm not worried about it. With somebody like Aaron Anderson
