Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the Bench with Jacob Hester

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,839

00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:06,839
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester.

00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:15,199
Speaker 3: On the air, it's Control.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 4: Live from the.

7
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:22,399
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Baton Rouge Studio. It's off the Bench.

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: Welcome back in outumb three oh TB one O four

9
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:38,640
five ESPN Baton Rouge. It is now nine o'clock on

10
00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:41,119
a Tuesday morning. You know what that means. We catch

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,719
up with our guy Nick Underhill, New Orleans Dot Football. Nick,

12
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:50,119
It is always our pleasure. How you doing, sir? Doing fantastic?

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,920
You know, I was thinking about this last night and

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,640
I was like, all right, well, you know, whe are

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,200
some things that we want to make sure that we

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,600
hit with Nick. And it's like we always just kind

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,280
of it's quarterback situation. Anytime you have a quarterback, it's

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,719
always going to be the leader in the clubhouse. And

19
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:04,640
we've talked about a lot of other positions, you know,

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,920
I was like, you know, we hadn't talked a lot

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,079
about is the guy that took ninth overall in Kelvin

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,799
Banks Junior.

23
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:12,159
Speaker 4: Right, We've talked about.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Pinning, maybe moving to guard and we've talked about some

25
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:17,280
of the shuffling on the offensive line. We haven't talked

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,680
a lot about a top ten player and an offensive

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,760
tackle that we've talked about for a long time, but

28
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:25,920
we hadn't talked about him since he's become a Saint, really,

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,280
So I just really wanted to open it up.

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: And what have you seen from him?

31
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:32,079
Speaker 2: What are you expecting from him after his first couple

32
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:33,239
days in the Saints uniform?

33
00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I guess in all of our defense, like,

34
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:39,079
we haven't talked about him a lot because they didn't

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,040
do anything at all in these practices with an offensive

36
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:42,680
line on the tail.

37
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 6: So it's just kind of it's kind.

38
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,799
Speaker 5: Of easy to fixate on the quarterback and forget about

39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,599
the guy that's that's maybe arguably the most important player

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,760
on the team right now. Like I feel like if

41
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,200
Kelvin Banks hits, you have a foundational piece him and

42
00:01:56,319 --> 00:02:00,359
Quaga together, you have your identity going forward and kind

43
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:02,599
of everything else can go wrong. And if you have that,

44
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,879
you still at least have something behind your hat on

45
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:08,639
and something to build around. And I you know, your identity,

46
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,599
all that stuff, and I'm I'm I'm optimistic about him.

47
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,039
I mean, I think he's incredibly smart. I think it's

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,960
hard to miss on a ot at nine now. Granted,

49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,280
like the Saints have found ways to miss on picks

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,560
they shouldn't have missed on a lot over the years.

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,680
But I like him. I think he's smart. I think

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,639
he's picking things up.

53
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 6: You know, you watch a movie.

54
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 5: He looks athletic. I think he carries himself very maturely.

55
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,479
You know, he can you know, there's just some of

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560
those guys that that can just really kind of explain

57
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,960
the game and talk about it and just it sounds

58
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,120
smart and it gives you confidence in him and and

59
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:48,199
all that stuff. I think he's one of them guys.

60
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,159
And I will be really surprised if he's not a

61
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,439
good player right away. But yeah, I mean that that's

62
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:58,280
everything for them. If if Kuaga can take you know,

63
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,199
a little bit of a step next year. I do

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,719
think that maybe some of his struggles last year got

65
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:05,439
overlooked a bit because there was just, you know, an

66
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,000
absolute disaster all the way around him.

67
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 6: You know.

68
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:09,599
Speaker 5: I think there's just some stuff that he can do

69
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,960
a little bit better. But yeah, those two guys hit man, Like,

70
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,039
I feel okay about everything. Like shock cannot be good,

71
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,199
rattler cannot be good, like the defense whatever. But at

72
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:19,599
least like.

73
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,479
Speaker 6: You're you're looking back and you're saying, all right.

74
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 5: Like two of the most expensive positions they've hit on,

75
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,360
and this is the foundation going forward. I think Banks

76
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:28,560
is going to be that type of guy, and I

77
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,360
expect him to be impact from from day one. I

78
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,400
don't expect to see a ton of struggles some I mean,

79
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,439
obviously he's he's young, but he looks a little bit more.

80
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,520
I don't know, it's.

81
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 6: Tough to say that, but like you know, just kind

82
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,439
of the way he.

83
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,759
Speaker 5: Carries himself, like he's coming in with like a little

84
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:44,879
bit more maturity than some of their other first round

85
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:46,639
picks that that we've seen in recent years.

86
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the person that they're going to be paving

87
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,080
the way for blocking for we haven't talked to you

88
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,000
a lot about him yet. It is Alvin Kamara. I mean,

89
00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:57,800
a guy that's been, you know, such a high performer

90
00:03:57,879 --> 00:03:59,560
for so long. I mean, the guy's going to be

91
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,319
absolute ancient this year, is gonna be turning thirty before

92
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,080
the season starts. Tell me how you've seen how you

93
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,759
and you see him playing out in this Kelimore offense.

94
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,199
Of course, we saw what he did with uh Saquon

95
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,079
Barkley last year, you know, reviving his career. Of course,

96
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,879
a different type player than Kamara. But how do you

97
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,480
see him fitting in and what can we expect fro him?

98
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean first like him being thirty, obviously that's tough.

99
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:27,959
I kind of have faith and how he's gonna how

100
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,120
he's gonna age one day, it's just gonna happen and hit.

101
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:33,519
But I spent a week with him last year just

102
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,720
at his house, like where he gets all his his

103
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,879
work done and he brings in his team of people.

104
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 6: And all that.

105
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,399
Speaker 5: And I'm not exaggerating when I say that, Like he

106
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,199
was on this this table just getting worked on literally

107
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,759
for eight hours a day, like just on a table,

108
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,439
people working on him doing stuff. Like he takes incredible

109
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:55,439
care of his body. And you know, I think that's

110
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,000
gonna help him. What's not gonna help him is if

111
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,600
he has as many touches as.

112
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,519
Speaker 6: He did last year.

113
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,439
Speaker 5: I think, you know, if there's anything to be concerned about,

114
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:06,199
it's it's that he had a career high in touches.

115
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,000
I hope that there is another option at that position

116
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,519
like someone someone that that you know is worthy. It

117
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:14,079
carries because I think you got to ramp that number

118
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,720
down a little bit and you know, you know, I

119
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,839
think you they put team first all that stuff.

120
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,959
Speaker 6: But like I do think keeping him, you know, upright

121
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,240
and going for this year next year.

122
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,959
Speaker 5: I mean, he's he's a core piece of you know,

123
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000
a rebuilding team.

124
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,959
Speaker 6: You got him under.

125
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,639
Speaker 5: Contract, he isn't going anywhere.

126
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 6: Like, he's a guy that you want.

127
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:35,399
Speaker 5: Around, like helping you set your culture in and making

128
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:37,240
sure that you know, this is a guy that some

129
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,279
of these young players can look at as they're doing

130
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,920
this rebuild. He's kind of the last bridge to the

131
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:44,240
past of you know, the old way of doing things

132
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:48,480
to the new way. But I think he's going to

133
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,040
be good to go. Man. Like the thing with him

134
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:53,079
after twenty like.

135
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 6: The big issue.

136
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:58,639
Speaker 5: You look, his yards before contact remained the same basically

137
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,759
every single year. It's just the kind deteriorated. And then

138
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,519
you know he's not getting those yards before contact. He's

139
00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:07,160
getting hit quicker. You know, you go from four point

140
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,680
three to three point nine because that yards before contact

141
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,240
has dropped you know, three times to the yard and

142
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:15,680
there's the difference like right there. If they can keep

143
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,000
that up, like it went.

144
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 6: Up a little bit last year.

145
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 5: They started getting banged up on the line. You saw it, Dipagan.

146
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,399
I think as the line goes, he goes. And I

147
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:25,000
think if you give him a little bit of space

148
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,439
and that that first guy hitting him as a linebacker,

149
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:30,319
he still has that contact balance to bounce off those

150
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,759
people and make something happen. But if it's you know,

151
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,839
Jared Verse, like you're you're in trouble and you know,

152
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:39,079
I think, you know, as the line goes, he'll go,

153
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,759
and yeah, Banks Sauaga, I mean, that's that's the whole

154
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,720
idea behind putting Penning a guard is that he's gonna

155
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,639
be a baller and he's gonna get you those those

156
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,480
yards before contact, you know, in the run game, assuming

157
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,360
he fits or the pass pros. You know that that's

158
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,399
the big question. But if those guys are healthy and

159
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:57,759
they're blocking for him, I think he's gonna get every

160
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,600
single yard and more. He always has just kind of

161
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:02,600
you know, the line just hasn't been good the last

162
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,480
couple of years.

163
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: Nick, If I was to throw it to the other side,

164
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,759
the defense side of the football, give me two players

165
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,199
the most important young defender on this team and the

166
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,399
most important VET on this team. As far as these

167
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:17,839
two guys need to show up if the Saints want

168
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:20,959
to be who they you know, expect to be new coordinator,

169
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:22,839
a lot of new pieces on defense.

170
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,319
Speaker 5: Man, I'm worried about the defense. I a big time

171
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,199
older players easy, older players easy. I think it's to

172
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:35,600
Mario the young guy.

173
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 6: I don't know, Yeah, I like I kind.

174
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 5: Of want to go wild card and say, like, if

175
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Alante Taylor plays well, maybe they have a little bit

176
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,879
of a of a building block there. If it might

177
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,759
give him a guy that that's worthy of his second

178
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:51,439
contract like that, those would be two really good things

179
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:55,240
for them, you know, going forward. I think he has

180
00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:58,240
the skill set to possibly be dynamic in the role

181
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,199
that they want him to play in. We've seen, you know,

182
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,040
Staley's done some really interesting stuff with guys playing that

183
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,000
nickel position. Jalen Ramsey moved inside for him, and with

184
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:12,720
the Rams he played really well there. Derwin James has

185
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,079
had success there before Alante went to the outside. There's

186
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:17,639
this stat it's like, I think it's called like the

187
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,360
chaos metric or whatever something the thirty third team puts together,

188
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:25,680
but it's like tackles for a loss, pass, breakup, sacked,

189
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,480
you know, just just a lot of you know, things that.

190
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 6: Create havoc and a metric. And he was leading the

191
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:33,519
league in that stat and you know, he was getting a.

192
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,879
Speaker 5: Lot of stacks early on last year. I think if

193
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:37,679
he can play well there and they can keep him

194
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,200
in that role, like potentially he's a guy that I

195
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,879
think as legitimate outside kool Aid's another easy pick for

196
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:45,960
that one. But like the guy that I'm betting on,

197
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,279
young guy, I mean, I don't know, I think someone

198
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,960
needs to kind of emerge there at this point. There's

199
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,879
a lot of guys that it's like, if he's good,

200
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,720
it's a huge thing, Like Brian Berze. If he plays

201
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:58,480
better against the run the pair with the stack ability,

202
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,759
you kind of got a good player or there maybe

203
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,960
you know, right now he's kind of a liability on

204
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,600
first and second, so if that would change, that would

205
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:08,840
be huge for him. So, I mean, there's a lot

206
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,120
of guys that I think, like have potential, haven't met

207
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,159
it and could step up. But it's a little it's

208
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,279
bleak on that side until like some of those things

209
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,039
come into focus.

210
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:20,639
Speaker 2: Uh, Nick, as we all know, like when you select

211
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:23,039
somebody in the first three rounds, you expect a lot

212
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,320
from them. I'm not saying they have to be superstars,

213
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,600
but they got to give you something. Certainly, as a

214
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,639
second round pick, you got to be able to contribute.

215
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:31,320
You got to be able to be a guy that

216
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,360
you know can be a starter, that can be a

217
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,399
quality player on whichever side of the football. And so

218
00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:39,200
you probably know, I'm going to Isaiah Foski. Is it

219
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,879
already just a punt on him?

220
00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:41,039
Speaker 3: Like?

221
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: Is that just Hey, he's gonna play some special teams,

222
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,279
he's gonna run out his rookie contract, and then that's

223
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,679
just going to be it. And the only reason you

224
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,759
don't cut him is because he's a second round pick?

225
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,200
Or is there anything that we can expect from him

226
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,440
on the defensive side, it.

227
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: Looks like they're trying, you know, they're trying to see

228
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,080
if they can get him into, you know, some type

229
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000
of useful role. He's getting a lot of run Oka's

230
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,120
in mini camp. I found myself baffled by this one,

231
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,440
like fortieth pick from Notre Dame, like real production, Like

232
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:11,919
it's just it's mystifying to me that that there's I

233
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,080
can see like not living up to potential, but where

234
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:18,080
is that just kind of makes no sense, Like this

235
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,440
isn't it. This isn't you know San Antonio or wherever

236
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:23,320
the hell you know they've gotten some of these other

237
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,679
guys from, Like this is a real a real player

238
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:30,000
from Notre Dame, like playing against real teams with you know,

239
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,799
real stacks against real opponents. And he was the record

240
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,320
the sack records that are at Notre Dame like that

241
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,360
that's supposed to mean something. I thought that was maybe

242
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,279
the safest pick they had made in years, and then

243
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,919
it just doesn't you know, you kind of saw a

244
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,519
little bit of like unrefinedness to his game when you

245
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,039
watched him, Like okay, but if he adds like this

246
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,120
or that, like maybe maybe there's something really good here.

247
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,440
But the floor on this blows my mind. Yeah, I

248
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:57,879
think he's at that that do or die point, like

249
00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:00,159
you kind of got to see something or you let

250
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,120
him go. I think one of the things that might

251
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,480
stablem though, is if he doesn't live up the expectation

252
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:06,639
is like who's taking his job like that? That's kind

253
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:10,320
of the the issue on the defense, Like if it's

254
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,759
not am, like who else like they don't have anybody.

255
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 6: At that position.

256
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 5: They don't have you know, I don't really feel like

257
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,799
that they got the top end talent, they don't have

258
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,559
the depth. Like it's a tough it's a tough existence.

259
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,159
Speaker 6: Right now for them. So yeah, maybe, I mean, you know,

260
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,440
maybe maybe he's on the team, maybe he's not.

261
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

262
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 5: But I'm not expecting anything from him though.

263
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 6: I think I think, you know.

264
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:38,519
Speaker 5: The the idea of him putting it together is maybe

265
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,519
sailed a little bit for me, like I got to

266
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,799
see it. I'm not banking on anything from him at all.

267
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: It's a good point he brings up. If you you're

268
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:49,399
down on a person and you're like, well, we need

269
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,559
to get him replaced, But like who you're replacing him

270
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:53,720
with is a question. You might as well stick with

271
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:55,519
a guy that you, at one point at least you

272
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,840
believe could do something. But Nick, you probably gave one

273
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,279
of the greatest answers ever heard when Jake generically asked

274
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,360
you about the defense and you said it's not great.

275
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,399
So Jacob and I don't know if he's told you

276
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,000
or not, but like we've kind of gotten into sports

277
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,240
cards recently, and we always kind of laugh because we're

278
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,679
always chasing these big hits, but we get so many

279
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:15,440
kool Aid the chemistry.

280
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: I mean, so we have If kool Aid ends up

281
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,240
being like Ed Reid, we're both retiring.

282
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 3: Lat kool Aid make a couple of Pro Bowls. Just

283
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:24,799
let him.

284
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: I promise.

285
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:27,919
Speaker 3: We got the cards to back it up. But you

286
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,600
talk about from top to bottom on the defense, how

287
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:34,159
it's right now, you know it's figuring a lot of

288
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:39,080
stuff out. It's not great, but you can expect it.

289
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,159
When that happens. That happens in the NFL, it happens.

290
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,600
It happens at all. When that happens, and you can't

291
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,799
just out one on one teams, you can look for

292
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840
you can look for a lot of exotic feast or

293
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,679
famine type game plans, type defenses and get really creative

294
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,440
with a lot of your game plan and try trying

295
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,919
to create confusion on the offensive side of the ball.

296
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:02,679
And I know, when OTAs in mini camp, it's really

297
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:04,600
kind of like they're not going to install a lot

298
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,039
of that stuff, but they probably would have already started

299
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,639
putting the foundation and pieces of that in place. Have

300
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:13,600
you seen anything on the defensive side of the ball

301
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:15,360
that would lead you to believe that we could get

302
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:19,960
to like a non traditional type of third down defense

303
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,639
or any non traditional types of defenses.

304
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,759
Speaker 5: I mean, there wasn't a lot like it was kind

305
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:27,559
of the base early on, and then by the end

306
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,080
of Mini camp, like we were starting to see you know,

307
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,600
a little bit of a little bit of dime, a

308
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,320
little bit of you know, nickel stuff. And I think

309
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,559
within that, like you saw a little you know show

310
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,879
show to rotate in the in the you know, cover three, Like,

311
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,639
it wasn't a ton of stuff that that you're kind

312
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:43,919
of dissecting and being like, oh man, that was crazy.

313
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 6: You know.

314
00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:45,799
Speaker 5: I think they were kind of you know, hitting the

315
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:47,720
tip of the iceberg on some of that stuff.

316
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,919
Speaker 6: But like, really, when you do go back and look.

317
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 5: At Staley though throughout you know, time and throughout the years,

318
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,519
I think that is kind of the hallmark of what

319
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:58,720
he does on defense. And you know, Da did a

320
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,200
lot of it too. He was kind of you know,

321
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,879
at the forefront of bringing some of those simulated pressures

322
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:04,679
and stuff into the league. But I think everyone caught

323
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,159
up and then started to buy a little bit at

324
00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:11,399
the end. Yeah, So I think I think Stately, you know, yeah,

325
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,200
I think we're definitely gonna see some of that stuff though,

326
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,080
And I think that really is kind of what they're

327
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,919
all about. And you know, they really really do a

328
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,399
good job of holding those shelves, like right until the

329
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:25,240
very end and then sometimes even beyond the staff and

330
00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:27,919
when they're even you know, first down, they do some

331
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,679
of that. And they don't like to put that extra

332
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,360
guy in the box.

333
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 6: They like to.

334
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: Bring that guy like from anywhere like it, and you know,

335
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:38,000
sometimes it leaves them a little bit vulnerable to allowing

336
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,879
a big explosive run, but sometimes like they're killing people

337
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:42,759
with it too, and I think that was one of

338
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:44,639
the things that maybe got them in trouble a little

339
00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:47,279
bit at the end and with the chargers.

340
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 6: But you know, you clean that up a little bit,

341
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,080
you get a little.

342
00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:53,159
Speaker 5: Bit more calculated. You know, I think that there is

343
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,159
benefit to it. And when you're watching, it's just like

344
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,960
one of those things, it's like, man, why why don't

345
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,240
more people do this?

346
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 6: You know, then.

347
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,639
Speaker 5: It's a little bit of feast or famine.

348
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 6: But like when you have a team like this that's

349
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,879
maybe a little.

350
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,639
Speaker 5: Bit deficient on talent, like maybe leading into you know,

351
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,240
some of that risk is a calculated thing that you

352
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,519
might have to do, you know, as you were saying,

353
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:14,320
so it would make a lot of sense. But I

354
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,840
do think that is kind of the the identity of

355
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:19,440
him in general is kind of, you know, that master

356
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,840
of dis guise, trying to dress things up, making it

357
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,360
look a little bit different. And you know, I think

358
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,320
that's one thing I like about the staff too, though,

359
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,320
is that it's a lot of younger guys that kind

360
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,759
of live on the Internet and they're you know, not

361
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:33,720
afraid to tell you that, Hey, I was watching a

362
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,600
high school football clip and we liked what we did here,

363
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:39,360
and we're bringing this in like that's stuff that they're doing.

364
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,840
They're searching for new ideas. So I would be surprised

365
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:44,679
if if things look static and if there aren't times

366
00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:46,200
where you're watching you're like, damn, where the hell did

367
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,240
that come from? I think that's going to be part

368
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:49,000
of their identity.

369
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,879
Speaker 2: Look, I can fully get behind that because I can

370
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,559
tell you, as an eight U flag football offensive coordinator,

371
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:59,200
Nick I scour the internet looking for new plays and

372
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,320
new ways to get the ball to playmakers, and I

373
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,320
am a okay with it.

374
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:03,519
Speaker 6: Yeah.

375
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 5: I mean, there's just so many like good accounts to

376
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:11,080
like Casey Caseyible Yeah, man, Like they're just like they're

377
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,960
out there and there's just something that I get the

378
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,679
email every day from from uh Dan Casey, uh the

379
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,399
match quarters guy. Like there's just a Cody Alexander that

380
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,039
there's a ton of them out there that that just

381
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,159
kind of a posting stuff all day long. And I,

382
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,960
you know, I think that's that's where this staff kind

383
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,879
of lives and exists, and uh, you know, it's kind

384
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:30,320
of it's kind of interesting. Like kellm moore actually brought

385
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,840
Dan Casey out I think one time to the Chargers

386
00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:35,600
like for training camp.

387
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 6: I think he was out there in the there like meeting.

388
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:39,279
Speaker 5: Rooms just because he liked the stuff that they he

389
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,879
does online. So it's a curious bunch of people that

390
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:45,039
that I think are going to constantly be looking for

391
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,879
new ideas.

392
00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I forgot Flinn. Let you know, uh Flynn

393
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:52,919
hates quarters like he can't.

394
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,799
Speaker 3: Stand because as a quarterback, I loved it, right.

395
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,679
Speaker 2: I hate when my cheer for so a couple of

396
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,840
years go when Matt House at LSU was like.

397
00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: Remember when j quorters every time we got the ball, Yeah,

398
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,319
we played quarters every time they got the ball.

399
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say there's a lot of quarter beaters

400
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,640
out there that are pretty uh, pretty easy to find.

401
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 4: But you'll learn how. You'll learn that about Flynn.

402
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,039
Speaker 2: If if we talk quarters defense, he is going to

403
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,279
just leave the conversation.

404
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 5: Well, I mean everyone did kind of overdose on it.

405
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: For a while. He did.

406
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 4: It was like it was like a safe play. Nick.

407
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: It's like when everybody like didn't know what to do

408
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:29,920
or they were trying to like, Okay, let's get punched

409
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,920
a little bit and we'll just kind of get our

410
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,599
feel of the game.

411
00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:34,079
Speaker 4: It's like quarters, that's what we're gonna play.

412
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 3: We always have like game plans with quarter checks. Like

413
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,400
if the quarterbacks saw quarters, like he was free to

414
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,000
change the play to the quarterbater. It usually worked.

415
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 4: Ye there.

416
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, So all right he is Nick Underhill, New Orleans

417
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,559
Dot Football. Nobody does it better go check out the side.

418
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:55,079
We were lucky to have him everyday here on O TV.

419
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 4: Nick. We appreciate it. Sarah. We'll catch up again with

420
00:17:57,279 --> 00:17:57,920
you next week.

421
00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, take it easy, guys.

422
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 4: When we come back.

423
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: I know that half of this is radio half as visual,

424
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:10,400
but we'll try to give you a breakdown of why

425
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,880
quarters defense is so easy to kind of manipulate and

426
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,839
you kind of dictate what happens if you're the offense.

427
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,079
And again, I'm gonna throw this to Flynn to be

428
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,240
able to tell you the story on radio and visual.

429
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 4: That's on him. I'm just the hust throwing it to him.

430
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,119
We'll be back breaking down quarters defense here on OTV.

431
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: Off the bench, all right, go to get Gordon dot com,

00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,799
but every other team is available for you there.

482
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,759
Speaker 3: Which kid doesn't want to put on an NFL.

483
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: Jersey exactly got a chance to be the Bengals yep

484
00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:25,119
this year. That probably was pretty fun for him. A

485
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,519
couple LSU Tigers wear.

486
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,279
Speaker 3: That uniform, can throw him my hat in the ring

487
00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:29,160
for the Packers.

488
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,799
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's gonna fight you unless Jordy Nelson

489
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:33,559
moves down here to farm.

490
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: You want to find me push ups.

491
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,039
Speaker 4: All right, so at least training academy br dot com.

492
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:41,559
Speaker 3: Speaking of flag football, did y'all see the big news

493
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:44,400
football is now going to be an Olympic sport, right

494
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:48,039
we all? So there's a lot of it's not controversy.

495
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:51,359
There's just a lot of conversation about who should be

496
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,920
the team because there's I think it's a team from Louisiana, or.

497
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,559
Speaker 4: At least a quarter Louisiana.

498
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,519
Speaker 3: Darryl du sat So he's been playing for FLA Football

499
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:02,480
for a long time, knows everything about has won all

500
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,759
the championships, blah blah blah, great player in flag football.

501
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,039
He recently kind of made headlines with an interview saying,

502
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,799
like he said the Super Bowl and he was like,

503
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,799
and it was he said it the right way. It's like, look,

504
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,319
in flag football, I'm better than Patrick Mahomes for these

505
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,799
reasons because I know the rules better, Like you know,

506
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,799
Patrick's one of the greatest in the all time blah

507
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:28,319
blah blah. Like in flag football, which I don't disagree with,

508
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,759
it's a completely different game. I think a couple of

509
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:34,519
years ago they did the NFL Flag Challenge where NFL

510
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:36,240
players they did I think it was for charity, but

511
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:38,279
they did a big tournament. I think Michael Fick play

512
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,119
like a lot of the current players are playing too.

513
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,119
And those guys, the flag football guys did win it all,

514
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:46,759
like they beat all those guys. It just kind of

515
00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:50,640
brings up the like the question to me, will they

516
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,000
let the NFL players play? And if they do, how

517
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:56,680
long do they give them to prepare or do they

518
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,599
have a tryout for a season coming up for NFL

519
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,400
players and like Darryl Ducett to see who But if

520
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,279
they let the NFL players plays, it's just like, yeah,

521
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,359
oh yeah, Patrick Rose want to play, you'r.

522
00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: Have a training camp, have some skills competitions, have some

523
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,559
scrimmages competition.

524
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 3: The skills competition is not gonna.

525
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,799
Speaker 2: Be I'm saying close that are that are flag relevant.

526
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:22,279
I come up with drills I should.

527
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: I think you would listen. I keep bringing Patrick Mahose

528
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:26,799
because Daryl brought him up in his interview, like if

529
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:31,039
he wants to play, does he get to play? Yeatrick,

530
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:34,599
even if it doesn't give you the best opportunity.

531
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,319
Speaker 2: Like receivers and stuff like the receiver give me gents,

532
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,359
you can have whoever you want from the flag football team,

533
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,119
I'll take him.

534
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 4: Uh, we'll see.

535
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting.

536
00:23:43,799 --> 00:23:46,319
Speaker 4: Fullbacks aren't talking flag football? Get out here? Who cares

537
00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:46,720
about that?

538
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: You just talked about it with the leap.

539
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, youth not grown.

540
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: That's what you call a radio pro transition right there,

541
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:54,759
a little bit of one. I'm pretty proud of you.

542
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:58,720
But we're talking professional football now because we just talked

543
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,359
about the Saints and quarters defense. Okay, yep, so we're

544
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,519
gonna break this down. So Matt hates quarters defense. A

545
00:24:05,559 --> 00:24:08,000
lot of people run that now and you hear people

546
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:12,440
talk about it, and it is a safe defense. It

547
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,720
is something that if the defensive coordinator again, like if

548
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,400
he's trying to kind of figure things out and see

549
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,400
how everything kind of plays out early in the game,

550
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,119
certainly this is going to be what they throw out

551
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,880
there because it is a keep everything kind of in

552
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,440
front of you type defense. It's a safe defense, but

553
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,319
there are certainly ways to not keep everything in front

554
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,279
of you if you're an offense.

555
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's it's always been popular. It's one

556
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:38,279
of the oldest, like besides like Manda Man like one

557
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:38,519
of the.

558
00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: Oldest, right, But when we were playing in the NFL Like,

559
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:43,759
not a lot of people are running this.

560
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,599
Speaker 3: It kind of depends on who the coordinator, what's your

561
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:49,119
team was skill set a lot in the West. Let

562
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,559
me take you so, quarters is something you're going to

563
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,400
see a lot in high school, right, You're going to

564
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,599
see it a lot in middle school high school because

565
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,400
it is designed to stop both the run and the pass.

566
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,319
So in theory, it's designed to stop it's too high safety,

567
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,759
so we all think of like, too high safety, it's

568
00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:09,720
better to run, so you get too safty gives you

569
00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:13,240
four dbs across the top. So you're splitting the defense

570
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:15,559
into quarters here, So the corner the corners have the

571
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,880
outside quarters, the safeties have the inside quarters. You're cutting

572
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,279
the field into basically a high right yep. But it

573
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,039
also puts your safeties at about ten to twelve yards

574
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:26,960
from a line of scrimmage, so they also can help

575
00:25:27,079 --> 00:25:32,559
run support. So they read through the quarterback and watch

576
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,160
for the run first and then react to real to

577
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,319
the pass. So the reason why it is such a

578
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,440
great defenses for offenses a scheme is really the what

579
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:46,480
the two safeties are taught to do. So we got

580
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,200
a two by two two bout two offensive formation here.

581
00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:52,119
So what they do if they know it's a pass,

582
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:55,359
they're always they have their eyes to the backfield. So

583
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,759
if it's if it's a handoff, they they get to

584
00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:00,519
react up because quarters is you know, like said, it's

585
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:03,160
meant to be able to assist with the running game,

586
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,039
which is different than like a cover two halves kind

587
00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:08,480
of look. So if it is a pass, what this

588
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:11,079
safety does right here, he's watching number two. The number

589
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:13,039
two receivers are slot, so we count from the outside,

590
00:26:13,079 --> 00:26:15,240
so number one is the outside receiver, too, is the

591
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,759
inside receiver if number two goes inside. So if he

592
00:26:20,839 --> 00:26:24,200
decides to run a drag across the field or a

593
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,720
post route, or if he goes inside at all, number

594
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,559
two takes them. Okay, If he goes up the field,

595
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,440
he takes them, yeah, all right. If he goes across

596
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:40,119
the field short, okay, the safety then turns a double

597
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,880
number one. So if he passes his guy off number two,

598
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,400
if he passes them off, he turns a double number one.

599
00:26:47,759 --> 00:26:51,359
The problem is is if number two goes vertical, the

600
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,160
safety has to take them because this, uh, this linebacker

601
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:57,240
right here, you got it. We got an s linebacker here.

602
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,559
Whatever this is. But it's the sam line back, so

603
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,519
he's not going to carry him down the field. He's

604
00:27:03,519 --> 00:27:05,880
gonna If number two goes vertical, the safety is gonna

605
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,119
take him down the field. So this is why it

606
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,279
is so so susceptible to a deep ball. All you

607
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:15,000
gotta do is run number two across the field to

608
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:17,519
the inside deep into the middle of the field, and

609
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:19,960
he has to take him, which sets your which sets

610
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,559
the cornerback one on one with the re So every

611
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,720
time when I talk about like checks that you want

612
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,160
in quarters, like a quarter's check, it has to do

613
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:32,599
with some sort of post drop. A lot of people

614
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:35,000
also run like a post with a corner. Here, it's

615
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:37,839
really hard to pass that off. Safety's corners have to

616
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,119
be really good at passing a post or a corner off,

617
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,079
or they have to play it like man. Usually they

618
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:43,799
get screwed up.

619
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: What's another two man route combination that you like against quarters?

620
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: Now, anything that depends on the weakness personnel wise, I

621
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,960
mean as simple go with an out route from number

622
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,799
two is easy, especially if you get a linebacker matched

623
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:00,839
up on a wide receiver.

624
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: Uh Now, number two has to get across the corner's

625
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,400
face still, because even though he's dropping like you don't

626
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,319
want him to be able to break it.

627
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's this corner will so especially if if this

628
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:13,359
number two is pushing up. Yeah, this safety is never

629
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,720
going to double number one. So the cornerback has.

630
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:17,759
Speaker 4: To Yeah, he's on buy, so he's gonna out.

631
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 3: He will Number one is gonna outside release, attack his

632
00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:23,440
outside shoulder. He's gonna clear number one out. The corner

633
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,440
will never unless he just screws up. He will never

634
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:29,839
drop off and undercut this out roud. That's what cover

635
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,640
twos for. So in a two by two set, you'll

636
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,640
see quarters. If he goes a three by one set,

637
00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:37,680
let's take let's see it. Say the Z guy comes

638
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,559
over here to this side of the field. Most teams

639
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,200
should not say they do. They should check out at quarters.

640
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:47,400
They will usually check out a quarters and go to

641
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,799
some sort of three week or they'll call cover two.

642
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,720
A lot of people would call that like a banjo

643
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,480
chag that there's different names for it. You're laughing because

644
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,359
you heard it. You safety, You're like, hey, come on, man,

645
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,519
So it's like, so you can you can screw teams up.

646
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:03,960
That's why the use of motion is such a big deal,

647
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,680
because if you know that it's like a banjo team.

648
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,279
It's like, all right, we're gonna start in two by two,

649
00:29:07,319 --> 00:29:09,960
we're gonna run to a three by one, and then

650
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,519
we're gonna run back to two by two and they're

651
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,599
having to change boom, boom, boom, a lot of stuff.

652
00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:15,440
A lot of the wheels are turning on the defense.

653
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,799
But yeah, this is one of the reasons why I

654
00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:22,720
think with the first touchdown pass I threw in the

655
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:26,000
peach ball to Buster Davis was against quarters. We ran

656
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:29,519
a hitcher oute right here and he Buster Davis ran

657
00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:32,000
like a fake in and go. Yeah. I mean it

658
00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:34,960
is susceptible to so many deep plays. And oh yeah,

659
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,799
I forgot to mention, you're one on one on the

660
00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:42,480
cornerback outside for quick hitches hinge routes, because they're they're

661
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,160
taught to get back. They're taught to get back. Yeah,

662
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,599
so it is one on one outside. So yeah, there

663
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:49,880
you go. Here's a breakdown.

664
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,559
Speaker 2: Well done there, Matthew. And throughout the football season we

665
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:54,279
are going.

666
00:29:54,079 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: To have film. We're going to break down plays offensive lead.

667
00:29:58,119 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna really nerd out, Yes.

668
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:01,119
Speaker 4: Yes we are.

669
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,039
Speaker 2: And then once we had the film, obviously it's gonna

670
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:05,359
be you know, your favorite Tigers and we'll talk about it.

671
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,519
We've done this before with Flynn, gonna do more of that.

672
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,319
And as Taylor puts up there, it's kind of a

673
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:13,880
diagram and different zones that everybody has in that certain deal.

674
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna see how this like really translates to just

675
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,960
just the radio if we can teach it well enough

676
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,759
to paint the picture.

677
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want you to be at the water cooler

678
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,440
on Monday morning saying did you see the quarter quarter?

679
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 4: Hass you see that? Said they were playing I don't

680
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:27,720
really love that.

681
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,039
Speaker 3: What was a curl flat defender doing on that coverage?

682
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 4: Exactly?

683
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: You were going to sound like the smartest guy in

684
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,319
the room and you're gonna know exactly what you're talking

685
00:30:35,319 --> 00:30:35,839
about there.

686
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: So nice job there, Matthew.

687
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:40,319
Speaker 3: There's a lot of bad routes against quarters too, and.

688
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk about the good stuff.

689
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the good stuff. Yeah, if

690
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,160
you don't want to learn football this season.

691
00:30:46,759 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: Garrett Nesmeyer would love to see quarters defense in the

692
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,559
first game.

693
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: Put it that way. I'm telling you, your eyes light

694
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,599
up as a quarterback, especially in an offensive coordinator, your

695
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:56,160
eyes light.

696
00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: Up I'm gonna look up what Clemson stop coverage was.

697
00:30:59,119 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's quarters.

698
00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: I hope it is too. More OTV when we come

711
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,680
every day. If you're playing a team that runs quarters coverage,

712
00:31:44,279 --> 00:31:46,799
let's call it quarters beer. That's a great beer too,

713
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,319
something to celebrate a delicious Mexican lagger. Go get one today,

714
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,880
ice cold, get a frosty mud cut a lime. That's

716
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: Is the way blocked in on L s U Football

717
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,119
twenty four to seven. You're listening to off the bench.

718
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:19,359
Speaker 3: That's the way I felt.

719
00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:21,519
Speaker 6: Boys still pushing big wheels.

720
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: Let's take my money.

721
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: Are welcome back OTV Flann good question from Bilbo Baggins

722
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,920
inside the Bay four chat.

723
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 4: His quarters coverage always a four man front.

724
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: Oh good question. No, no, no, no, you can run most

725
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:40,039
any coverage with any type of front. We kind of

726
00:32:40,039 --> 00:32:42,680
put this uh picture on here because it's like the

727
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,480
most generic, you know, four linebackers, a base defense, three linebackers,

728
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,240
four down linemen, four DB's. That's like the basic look.

729
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,440
Now from this, you can get people in these positions

730
00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:59,359
in multiple different ways. There's endless amounts of ways. Some

731
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,759
are more dangers than others. You can you can walk

732
00:33:01,799 --> 00:33:04,559
around the defensive lineman. You could play it out a nickel.

733
00:33:04,599 --> 00:33:05,759
You can play it a dime. You can play it

734
00:33:05,759 --> 00:33:09,240
out of quarters. So to break that down nickels as

735
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:13,839
five dyb's dime is sixty b's. Yeah, and we call

736
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,680
it nickel personnel, it would be sevent DB's. So you

737
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,480
can play it in all sorts of different ways. You

738
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:23,960
can fire zone blitz it, which means you're bringing pressure,

739
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,160
so you bring you bring a blitz. Usually a fire

740
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,880
zone blitz is a five person blitz. If you bring

741
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,480
two linebackers, I mean you're dropping a defensive end and

742
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:35,160
usually you're dropping a defensive end to take the responsibility

743
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,279
of what a linebacker would usually be doing.

744
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: Ye when you see what those defensiveands get an interception, like,

745
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,119
how did the quarterback not seem that's the situation you're talking.

746
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:47,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, usually it's impossible to see. You can based on

747
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,079
film preparation, you can kind of get the thought process

748
00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:53,039
in your head that there might be a defensive line

749
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,119
dropping into the zone because of the pre stnet look

750
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,440
and which backers came. And you can't do fire zone

751
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:04,839
pressures on every cover, so if you like see man demand,

752
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,039
usually there's not a defensive lineman dropping. But yeah, it's

753
00:34:09,039 --> 00:34:13,079
a good question because everything starts with like the basic

754
00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:21,039
high school quarters cover two, cover three man demand schematics,

755
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,679
and then after that. That's why the great defensive coordinators

756
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,880
they come up with all these creative ways based on

757
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,519
what the offense is doing to get to those same spots.

758
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,159
Just create confusion along the way, and you're creating confusion

759
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:35,480
so you can get pressure on the quarterback because you're

760
00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:37,519
not only confusing the quarterback what he's seeing, but you're

761
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:41,480
confusing the offensive lineman in pass protection and the running

762
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:42,400
back in pass protection.

763
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many different ways you can manipulate coverages.

764
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,320
You can show the quarterback different looks and you can

765
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,760
you know, get him to change his play and then

766
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,679
you're you know, doing it just so he changes out

767
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,679
of his play even though you run the same coverage.

768
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,599
There's so many different games that you can play. We

769
00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:01,800
always talk about double am right with the linebackers, like

770
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,639
that is hell on the quarterback. It's held on the

771
00:35:03,679 --> 00:35:06,840
running back as well, because they're gonna play games and

772
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,199
we're gonna declare the mic one way and I've got

773
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,559
to go across the formation to pick up the other backer. Well,

774
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:14,760
that backer is going to drop at the last minute.

775
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,760
Here comes somebody else from the other side. I've already

776
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,119
committed to that linebacker because if I don't, he's going

777
00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:20,079
to sack the quarterback.

778
00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:22,079
Speaker 4: So those are things that will break down.

779
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 3: We're gonna break down. We'll do another we'll do the

780
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:26,559
film session break down some double A gaps. But right

781
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:29,559
now I really want to give the people what they want.

782
00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:31,320
I want to go back and run it back and

783
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,039
talk a little golf.

784
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you did have some I want to talk about.

785
00:35:36,039 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 3: This year. We got the Ryder Cup coming, which is

786
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,639
the most electric, one of the most electric, in my opinion,

787
00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:43,119
sporting events out there, because it only happens every couple

788
00:35:43,159 --> 00:35:47,159
of years. It is USA versus Europe. And there's a

789
00:35:47,199 --> 00:35:48,960
lot of talk this week about it because of what

790
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,559
happened this past weekend with Keegan Bradley at the Travelers Championship.

791
00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:57,599
Keek and Bradley, who is was named a year and

792
00:35:57,639 --> 00:36:01,480
a half ago, believe as the captain for the USA

793
00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:04,039
this year in the twenty twenty five Ryder Cup, which

794
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:07,400
it's back in the USA. It was in Rome, Italy

795
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,760
two years ago, so this year it's UT's see September

796
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,800
twenty fifth at Bethpage Black in New York, which is

797
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,719
a historic course, so the Ryder Cup will be there.

798
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,440
And for those of you who don't know, it's twelve

799
00:36:19,559 --> 00:36:23,039
people from the US twelve people from Europe. And while

800
00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:25,440
it's kind of in the news this week is Keegan Bradley,

801
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,840
who is the captain, controversially got left off the team

802
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,679
that went to Rome two years ago, Zach Thomas was

803
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,800
he was the captain at that point. And what happens

804
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,159
with picking the teams is there six automatic qualifiers based

805
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,639
on points, so the top six guys for USA, top

806
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:46,920
six guys for Europe in the points based on tournaments

807
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,880
and majors are automatically in, and then there's six captains picks.

808
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,880
The captain can choose whoever he wants. Yep. So Keegan

809
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,079
Bradley had won this Travelers Championship a couple of years

810
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:00,280
ago and was on that bubble. There's about three four

811
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,679
guys on that bubble. Zach ended up choosing Justin Thomas

812
00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:08,519
over Keegan Bradley, who had traditionally he was called like captain,

813
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:10,239
a mayor. He was like a ryder cup dude. He

814
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,599
always showed out. He's been a great player from a

815
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:15,519
long time. But he had he wasn't having the season

816
00:37:16,159 --> 00:37:17,800
and he's had he had a he was having a

817
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,440
bad season leaning up to that point, so he kind

818
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,280
of went and he chose him over Keegan. What's a

819
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,559
little bit controversial, and the only reason it is controversial

820
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:29,639
is because of the Netflix documentary Full Swing. So this

821
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,679
year he's in the same spot he just won this tournament.

822
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,519
I think he is ranked keegan now as the captain

823
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:40,559
is ranked ninth. So again it's a twelve man team.

824
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,239
So he's got this unique opportunity now to be a

825
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,760
player captain, so to be the captain of the team,

826
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,960
which is usually you know, not like an old old player,

827
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,400
but like an older player that's kind of passed his prime,

828
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,679
who isn't in threat of actually being a player we

829
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,719
haven't had like in the modern an air of golf,

830
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,840
there's never been on either team be a player captain.

831
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,480
I think the last one was nineteen sixty three, a

832
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,800
man by the name of Arnold Palmer. Ever heard of him?

833
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,639
They made a drink after him. Yeah, he was the captain,

834
00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:16,639
the player captain in nineteen sixty three. Since it hadn't

835
00:38:16,639 --> 00:38:18,079
been I think there was a European one. I don't

836
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:20,239
even remember his name was, like in the fifties. So

837
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,559
this is a crazy situation. Automatic qualifiers currently Scotti Scheffler,

838
00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:28,599
of course was badass man on the planet with a

839
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:32,320
golf globe his hand. Xander Schoffle jj Spahn just recently

840
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,000
won the US Russell Henley Bryson, d Chambeau and Justin

841
00:38:36,039 --> 00:38:40,519
Thomas r right now in the top six, Keik and

842
00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:42,320
Bradley sitting at nine. So it's gonna be fun to

843
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:48,719
watch that again into September. Ryder Cup USA Europe. They

844
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,159
absolutely destroyed us in Rome two years ago, so we

845
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,000
got to come to fin our homeland. Have you seen

846
00:38:56,039 --> 00:38:57,960
Have you watched the Ryder Cup before four?

847
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: I have because I remember it when House, who's from Shreveport,

848
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,199
was the captain. Like, I remember it being a huge,

849
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,760
huge deal, like in the city and everybody talked about

850
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,960
it for weeks leading.

851
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:08,159
Speaker 4: Up to it.

852
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 2: It was on the news and the paper every single day.

853
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:11,760
So absolutely, yeah.

854
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 3: Well it's one of the the golf tournaments always. You know,

855
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,559
golf is about you know, respect, quiet please, like, let's

856
00:39:18,599 --> 00:39:21,559
golf clap, let's show some respect. Not at the Ryder Cup.

857
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,840
The Rider Cup is wear your American flag pants, go

858
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,239
out there, scream as loud as you can. I think

859
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,880
justin Thomas and I think it was Jordan Spieth the

860
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,079
last time it was in America. It might have been

861
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:36,480
whistling straits. Can't remember, uh, but you know they go

862
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:39,119
out to the first tea box holding beers, pumping up

863
00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:42,199
the crowd, O God, and they're chugging beers like it's

864
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,039
it's a rowdy environment. Yeah, you never in golf. You also,

865
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:47,360
it's like the courtesy. You don't cheer against other people,

866
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:49,760
but people are. I mean, it is a home it

867
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,199
is a true home field advantage situation. You're actively booing, cheering,

868
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,519
uh booing other the other team booing Europe. When they

869
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,920
hit something good but and they miss up like a

870
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,480
two foot putt, the whole crowd goes crazy. And that

871
00:40:04,559 --> 00:40:06,440
you don't ever see that in golf, which is which

872
00:40:06,519 --> 00:40:08,840
that is one unique and I haven't been. It is

873
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:14,079
absolutely my bucket list. Are you gonna win, Oh, we're

874
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:17,880
gonna win. We're gonna dominate. I mean we got Scotti Scheffler, who,

875
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,320
like I said, is the most dangerous guy in the world.

876
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,599
I mean I think.

877
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: He he's like he's like minus odds for every golf turam.

878
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,199
You know how hard that is to get minus odds

879
00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:27,679
in a golf tournament to win it.

880
00:40:27,679 --> 00:40:31,079
Speaker 3: It just doesn't matter what he does in a tournament,

881
00:40:31,159 --> 00:40:33,719
Like he just doesn't ever make mistakes. Even when he

882
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,000
makes mistakes. Even this past two weeks ago at the

883
00:40:36,039 --> 00:40:38,840
at the US Open, it was he made a triple

884
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,920
bogie on the whole one on a Saturday. He was

885
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,119
I think he was close to the lead triple bogie,

886
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,440
which usually is not gonna knock everybody out. Well, he

887
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,280
came back and he finished three off the lead. Like

888
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:53,000
he's just always there, always there, always there. I mean,

889
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:55,639
God knows what the odds are for taking Scotti Scheffler

890
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,400
like to finish in the top ten every tournament.

891
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: It's probably like minus three thousand. Yeah, if you're getting

892
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,719
again minus.

893
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's minus. I think he's

894
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,320
I think he got.

895
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 4: The last tournament and he was like minus one thirty.

896
00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:12,199
Speaker 3: To win it. I think he was like plus two

897
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,239
twenty or something, which is the lowest odds to win

898
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,800
a golf tournament or a major since like Tiger Woods

899
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,360
and like go six or something like that.

00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,400

Speaker 3: For me, you gotta have something to talk about. I

943
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,719
was boring if everybody just like gets along.

944
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 4: Ask the bench, what is the next phase of the

945
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,079
beef with a f R. You're turned to punch back.

946
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,239
We're gonna check the tape.

Speaker 2: We're gonna see if he talked about the steak dinner

950
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 3: I said, do you keep saying my name? It was

951
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,119
T O T B. I mean it was like you

952
00:43:46,119 --> 00:43:47,480
you almost got to push the buttons.

953
00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you did, Like I gathered information, but you

954
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:54,360
pushed the button effort sent asked the bench favorite golf

955
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:59,440
course to play at I don't have one played.

956
00:44:00,039 --> 00:44:04,559
Speaker 4: I played to Pines before Chargers golf team outing.

957
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 3: That's such a tough question because there's bucket lists golf courses.

958
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,920
When I was in Wisconsin, Man, we had embarrassment of

959
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,320
riches up there. We had Blackwolf Run, What'sland Straight? You

960
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,840
had so many good golf courses that was like within

961
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,280
an hour and a half from green Bay, which is funny,

962
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,159
Like we would go out of town of green Bay

963
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,119
and we could play like those nice courses for free.

964
00:44:28,599 --> 00:44:30,559
So if we tried to play at the fifteen dollars

965
00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:32,880
public course in green Bay, we had to pay. Yeah,

966
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:38,039
son of guy, but no. I took a a golf

967
00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:42,320
trip to Ireland, Southwest Ireland, and it was the best

968
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,440
golf experience I've ever.

969
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,559
Speaker 4: Had as a bench What's my high Pure.

970
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,119
Speaker 3: It's actually our first flavor or first partuct we ever made.

971
00:44:50,119 --> 00:44:53,559
It's actually flavorless, so it's designed to be mixed into

972
00:44:53,679 --> 00:44:56,400
other things and create anything into a sports drink. So

973
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,559
it's like originally created with like who worked at the

974
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:01,800
LSU football team. They could add it to their power

975
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,519
aid and it wouldn't change the flavor. It just poos

976
00:45:03,519 --> 00:45:06,079
the electroly content. All right, so you can change, like

977
00:45:06,119 --> 00:45:08,400
get a lemonade. Well, Chris the light though appearing there

978
00:45:08,519 --> 00:45:09,199
it was sport straight.

979
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 4: I like that acid bench. Who is l Shoe's receiver one,

980
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:13,960
two and three?

981
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 2: I'll go Aaron Anderson, Nick Anderson and Chris Hilton, and

982
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,360
then Brown's gonna be your four. You've got some dudes

983
00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:23,280
and they can play out a lot of different ways.

984
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,920
Favorite LSU baseball player of all time, Mine's easy. It's

985
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,760
Todd Walker. Todd was from the same area that I

986
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,079
was from. I knew his brother in law really well.

987
00:45:33,119 --> 00:45:35,960
We were friends in high school and growing up. Always

988
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,440
proud of Todd Man being from three.

989
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 3: One great. I'm saying this one from my son Hutt

990
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,639
Tommy Tanks. All right, there you go, Jordan.
