Speaker 4: Uh now, Jake, I think, what's that? Oh the coffee.
It's gone literally eight oh one to rip to the coffee.
Speaker 5: They have a timer already already rolled away, countdown, alarm everything.
They're actually one minute late. They're probably disappointed in themselves
right now.
Speaker 4: Shout out. I got Jeff on Twitter.
Speaker 3: Jeff Meyer says, hey, meatheads, I like coffee, but I'm
slowly becoming alerts caffeine.
Speaker 4: So that's why I'm DCAF love the show.
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, Jeff god Man, look, thank you for calling
us the meat head as a term of endearment that
I will not.
Speaker 2: Ever loose it up.
Speaker 3: So I was gonna say, I wanted to get in
some local topics, but we have to have the Camps
cadboy conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah we do.
Speaker 4: We haven't had it here on area yet.
Speaker 3: No Meadhead of the Year, yep, for Jake's.
Speaker 4: J Jake Meadhead of the Year. I mean, it's an
award to trophy. It's a trophy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Camp's Candeby supposed to be here this week.
And while Jake doesn't appreciate me, always intimating that it
was a romantic interest between the two, we were certainly
very excited.
Speaker 5: That's an every player, every player that I like, you
take it there, and I don't know why it's only me.
Speaker 2: That's it's only me apparently untrue.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll I take it there with everybody and
any bottle that.
Speaker 2: If Willie Lamb can ask you out right now, that's
what I say.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm head over heels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really God, he shook my hand so hard to
ten and three eighths.
Speaker 4: I know I could feel it. I was like, Man,
I was like, whoa, bro.
Speaker 2: This doesn't happen to me often, but I'm impressed.
Speaker 4: I could feel.
Speaker 3: All ten inches ten and a half Like you said, Okay,
but I mean Digo Landra.
Speaker 4: To be fair, he calls them my longhords. Yeah, that's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: That's everybody.
Speaker 3: But anyway, it doesn't matter. The point is the point
is we love Skataboo. We're incredibly excited to see scataboy
this week.
Speaker 5: Where is he he Christian baialed on a senior.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not great, Bob, it's not great. You can't
be and you're seeing like that. Look, this is the
right now, It says serious XM College Sports Radio, off
campus meathead player of the Year Camp Scataboo Arizona State University. Man,
all right, that's the trophy. It's got a nice little
weightlifter on there. It is very meat headish. This this
game is made for someone like Cam Skataboo.
Speaker 2: Yep, this game.
Speaker 4: We ain't running forties.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying five. If I he got he got
bad agent advice.
Speaker 5: If I could talk to Cam Scataboo, I would tell him,
my brother in Christ, you're gonna run a four six.
That's just it is what it is, and that's okay.
Half the starting running backs in the league running four
to six. Yeah, do not worry about that. You're gonna
crush the cone drills. You're gonna do great there. Lateral quickness,
that's all they care about, Cam. They don't care how
fast you are running a forty yard dash. And so,
like an agent's got in his head so much, I
would assume that you've.
Speaker 2: Got to be this.
Speaker 5: You got to run a four to five, You got
to run a four five. You want to be a
top back. All that that doesn't matter. This game is
made for Cam Skataboo to come out here and show
he's a pass protector. Show he's going to win on
one on one routes because he's got really good hands.
We saw that in the Peach Bowl and to truck
a couple of people. That's what he had the opportunity
to come down here and do. He could have solidified
himself potentially as maybe the number two back in this draft.
I know that you know they got some other backs
and gent and you and c's got a back that
might be in that conversation.
Speaker 2: I know he could have made himself a lot of
money here this week, because.
Speaker 5: Like myself, I could do some things at Indy that
would confirm some things for you. But I was never
going to do anything in the underwear Olympics that was
going to make you draft me.
Speaker 4: But I could hear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because this is actual football, which is the strongest
part of Scataby's game.
Speaker 4: And he's nowhere to be found.
Speaker 3: And it's it's interesting because it's it is almost like
an inherent meathead check. Can you be a meathead if
you say no to the Senior Bowl? I don't, or
especially if you say.
Speaker 4: No to the Senior Bowl when it could help you.
Speaker 3: Now if you're be like a top ten pick, top three, okay, okay,
you know whatever, I get it, Like, yeah, at that point,
the risk verse reward like doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: The year I played The year I played. I tell
the story all the time. Matt Ryan was committed to
the game.
Speaker 5: We were training together, he was about to get on
a bird with us to come here, and his agent said, Hey,
I just got confirmation you're gonna be a top five pick,
Like you're probably going three to the Falcons, and Matt's like, man,
I wanted to go. I want to compete, but I'm
going to be the number three overall pick.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well so he.
Speaker 5: Stayed, So I get that, and Joe Flacco took a spot,
and Joe Flacco's won a Super Bowl, so it worked
out for everybody. But that's not the case here. So
it is very shocking that Cam Scataboo is not here.
This again Taylor made for him to help himself, go
make himself some more money and show that he is
truly the Meadhead Player of the Year.
Speaker 3: So guys, if as you go through today, please keep
jaking your thoughts. I don't think I didn't foresee this coming,
you know, and I feel very badly for my friend,
and so just give a little prayer as you're walking
through your day and teas and piece for Jake, as
Cam Scataboo has betrayed him quite frankly.
Speaker 4: I mean, we still get the award.
Speaker 5: I mean it's made already cast some dollars to put
that on there to you.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, that's a nice trophy.
Speaker 4: It is a pretty nice trophy.
Speaker 5: Accid, look at the guy out there at top. That
the the part that pain to me the most. We
had him on off campus to present the award, right,
great conversation with him, and during that conversation, now he
hadn't he hadn't played Texas to that point. It was
that kind of the leading that week into that game
before he was about to go over. Yeah and maybe
maybe so maybe the conversation changed. But on that interview tea,
he was talking about how excited he was to come
down to Mobile, Alabama and prove everybody wrong, to show
that he just you know, belongs and deserves to be
in this conversation and fire me up.
Speaker 2: I'm like, hell, yeah, let's go. Yeah he's not here.
Speaker 5: He pulled out on Monday. Apparently on Monday. Apparently he
pulled out on Monday.
Speaker 4: Like the day when it starts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, sorry, bro, Yeah, I know I can't do
it anymore.
Speaker 4: That sucks.
Speaker 5: It would be like, you know, I'm trying to think,
who's your favorite player been over the last couple of years.
Speaker 4: No I get I mean I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Don't need it's that's that's uh, that's very disappointing. Yeah,
what's never disappointed and who won't ever pull up?
Speaker 4: Nope, scratch that, but who's.
Speaker 3: Never disappointing our friends over there at Budro's Electric.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, no, I mean.
Speaker 2: I can't speak to the pulling out not I don't
know that.
Speaker 3: But what I do know is, if you were in
the market for a generator generator generator, uh, you want
to go with Boudro's as look, their family run, their local,
their customer first that that that is, that is their
core ethos. Their guiding light is customer first service. And
you may not know this when you look at a
lot of the generator companies are gonna be trying to
sell you around Louisiana. We're talking about a lot like
private equity, you know, national uh corporations coming in here.
Speaker 4: And so what are you to them?
Speaker 3: Your number on a spreadsheet, You're nothing to them, You're
less than nothing. You're you're just your your your digital numbers.
Not the case with Bujo's Electrical, where they've gone so
far as actively cutting down trees and the eye of
a hurricane to get to a generator to make sure
it was up and running good to go. So if
you need to make sure that your lights stay on,
your family doesn't lose power.
Speaker 4: They're there when you need them. Explored today.
Speaker 3: Uh they have all the parts in stock if you
need repairs, if you need this. Look, they're the absolute best.
Shout out to Boujo's Electrical love having him here. Go
to Bujo's Electrical dot com. Uh Jake, now, Uh my bad, guys,
I should have looked up for enough. David Rivers running
Louisiana Sports on now. I think you'll know this is
the Alex Atkins.
Speaker 4: News confirmed yet I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Right, it's but but but it's pretty. It seems like
it's going to happen.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I did feel like Taylor in his intro for this
hour was basically telling us we had to talk about this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get into it.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, I think I think. I think
it's a big I think it's a big get.
Speaker 3: As for those who don't know LSU, right now, the
coach SEV has one spot available. It is the tight
ends coach and it looks like, I guess, barring anything
unforeseen that would blow the deal last minute, it looks
like former Florida State O line coach in o C
Alex Adkins is going to be your tight end coach.
That's a really I mean, what's crazy to think about
it is that's a.
Speaker 4: Really big name for a job.
Speaker 3: A lot of times, Jake, that's kind of treated like
an afterthought. I mean, tight ends coaches a lot of
times where somebody gets like they're they're maybe their first
step in to being a position coach, or you just
gotta throw it, you know, just gotta like like like
like put him there and.
Speaker 5: Yet and now you're trying to hide a coach until
he gets his like you know he's gonna be good,
but it's like we're gonna put you there until you
get your next opportunities. Yes, well that's why I was
so wild when den Brock was the OC and coaching
tight ends.
Speaker 3: And even then he's really the OC, right like yeah,
like so so but yeah, man Alex Atkins, who his
time in Florida State is fascinating because he's the on
line coach. He does very well. Then he gets to
be the offensive coordinator and that goes very well. Uh
but just like everything else in Florida State, just the
bottom fell out last year.
Speaker 4: I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: They went from leading the a sec and scored one
of the best teams in the country to uh being
one thirty one in the country this last year, and
he ends up getting fired and now it's gonna be
Elsie's tight ends coach.
Speaker 4: So I'm just kind of.
Speaker 3: Flabbergasted because again, that's a position group that is a
good job that I normally to think about, and you
just added a wealth of experience and he's a very
good a line coach on top of all the OC knowledge,
but like, yeah, another big brain entering those offensive meeting rooms.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you look at his resume and he's been a coordinator.
He's been an assistant head coach in multiple places. I
mean he's been at Tulane, you know, from twenty sixteen
to twenty eighteen. So he would have some ends already
in recruiting, which goes a long way, as we know,
to not have to you know, learn how it works
here in Louisiana, but certainly in that New Orleans area
because he's already had that experience, so that gives him
a leg up. I think as well. That's you know,
kind of the off the field portion of it than
the on the field I mentioned. He's been an offensive
coordinator in multiple spots, and I think.
Speaker 2: He was a fall guy.
Speaker 5: He was a fall guy for Norvel in that staff,
and that's why he got fired, because you know, they
made the wrong decision.
Speaker 2: Mike Norvell brought in Dju. Dju look just not.
Speaker 5: A great quarterback, okay, and they tried to run their
offense through him.
Speaker 2: Didn't work. Now they had more issues in Vogue.
Speaker 5: It wasn't just a quarterback, but I mean, it was
the totality of the team. But it was certainly like
Dju wasn't great for that offense. I'm not sure what
offense he's great for, but it certainly wasn't that one.
And so they made a bad decision at quarterback, and
again it all just started to fall apart. And then
Atkins was the guy that kind of became the Hey,
you got to fall on the sword, because I'm not
falling on the sword, and so don't allow that to
cloud your judgment. This is somebody that, I mean, Broyle's
Award candidate, if I'm not mistaken, yeah, two years two
years ago. Yeah, okay, So if you can get him
as your tight end coach, knowing he's already got roots
in New Orleans, knowing that he's got a history of
being a play caller.
Speaker 2: That is yet again another great set of eyes for
you there. If you're Joe Sloan and the offensive staff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean you looked now in back to
back days about Landskidgrit coming over from Miami now Alex Adkins.
Those are a couple of big time coordinators who you
can say have fallen on hard times, but again when
he comes to the collaborative effort of game planning, those
are a couple of big brains that you're adding to
the mix that I don't think there's any way to
construe that as a negative. Uh So, I mean again,
the the LSU staff top to bottom, we can say
outside of head coach, because Brian Kelly finds himself falling
out of like all.
Speaker 2: The top ten head coach of the country lists.
Speaker 3: And I think, I think rightfully so, even though it's
been really good, you know good whatever, I think rightly so.
But the LSU staff outside of head coach Jake top
to bottom, I.
Speaker 4: Mean maybe the best in the country. Like it's it's
it's definitely up there. I would put this staff against anyone.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's probably the reason why I have the
most uh so much belief in this team.
Speaker 4: I mean when you.
Speaker 3: Talk about everybody that we always talk about people's Raymond
bo Davis. Brad Davis is one of the best a
line coaches, the entire coacher. You heard Miles Frazer talk
about him really honestly. Interestingly enough, Jake Joe Sloan's probably
like if you still had Den Brock in that role,
then you'd probably feel better about Tavicau. Joe Soon is
maybe the guy that'd have to prove himself most in
that group.
Speaker 4: But like this group of position coaches is elite, and Scott.
Speaker 3: Woodward continues to give Brian Kelly everything that he needs
resource wise to try and make this thing happen.
Speaker 5: And that's why the expectation is not going to go anywhere.
It's why you have to make the twelve team playoff
this upcoming football season, because you start talking about, you know,
even on the offensive side, you're Frank Wilson and having
Cortes Hankton and the receivers that he's coached here in
his career at Georgia at LSU. You know, every guy
that sits down here talks about Brad Davis, and so
it's on both sides of the football.
Speaker 2: Like you're you're set up, you got the tools.
Speaker 5: Now you've got to go build it with those tools
and not like a nice year like you got to
go make the twelve.
Speaker 2: Team playoff easily. Everybody knows what you have.
Speaker 5: You've done a deep dive into the portal you had,
You had the thing that you had to have happen.
And Garrett Nesmyer coming back. Yeah, all right, that was
has to happen. Can't go any other direction. It happened.
He's back. You get a lot of pieces back. The
offensive line is gonna be one of the biggest questions,
but we saw what it's going to look like. Maybe
in the bowl game. There's no excuses. It is twelve
team playoff or bus for LSU without a doubt.
Speaker 3: I mean, you got eight percent of the top one
hundred transfer portal players, more than anybody else in the
entire country. All right, when we get back here on
O tob we'll continue our coverage live yeom Zenero. Let's
update the Saints coaching situation as well. It continues to

I forgot my bomber jacket? I did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I'm lashing out. I left, Yeah, and I
sat there and smelled your wrists for you, I know.
And you're throwing shade at me. Throw shade somewhere else.
Speaker 3: I'm lashing out, like said, I know, I apologize all right,
I want to talk to Saints coaching search here in
a many guys, but first one in remind you got
our friends at Goodwood Men's Sexual Wellness, your Goodwood dot Com,
your Goodwood dot com.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Are you suffering from ed because your favorite running back
failed to show up at the Senior Bowl. Well that's okay, okay,
It's something that happens to all of us at one
time or another in our life. U. But do not let
that embarrassment stop you from making it right, okay, because
it's very simple guys, like if you're summer media, guess
what news slash you don't have to be? Your low
T Guess what news slash you don't have to be?
You're going bault. Do not go quietly into that good night. Okay,
we are we are going to fight. We're going to
be our best selves. We're going to reach our max potential.
We're gonna feel young and burial and strong. And it's
all gonna happen with your friends at Goodwoodmen's Sexual Wellness,
because we are no longer settling for mediocrites to go
to your Goodwood dot com, your Goodwood dot com. All right,
al O, Mars Wind almost rather listen to Pelicans talk
than Saints coach sunk. It's it's it is it is, uh,
it is wild how bad things are for the Pelicans
right now. So first off, the team sucks, there's no direction,
nobody goes any of the games. The best players are
all hurt, nobody plays, I mean Ingram still out, nobody
knows what's going on. And apparently right now, Jake, it
is impossible to get into the Smoothie King Center because
they've closed down all the roads to do a bunch
of work for the Super Bowl. They're they're they're literally
putting a They're they're erecting a covered walkway all the
way up and down Poydrous. Apparently like they're basically putting
a roof over poys just essentially.
Speaker 4: So right now.
Speaker 3: I was looking yesterday somebody tweeting about I wish you
credit maybe I don't know who was between about just
what a tortured exists to being a Pelicans fan is.
And you look around, like on a Google Maps or something,
Apple Maps whatever, it's just read every every road around
the stadium.
Speaker 2: So I think there's like, can't wait for that next week.
Speaker 4: People go into these games right now.
Speaker 5: So gosh for the Sugar Bowl, like Canal and Poyds
were both shut down obviously, you know, you had, you know,
the terrorist attack there, and so the city was certainly heightened,
but like everything was closed t Bob and I've seen
traffic in New Orleans before, but this was crazy because
everybody was having to take like side streets to do everything.
In those side streets, they're they're meant for like half
a car basically, and so there was just.
Speaker 2: Traffic every everywhere.
Speaker 5: I can't imagine that for you know, anybody trying to
go to a Pelicans team that is twelve and thirty six.
Speaker 3: Hey, which is already masochistic enough without the added uh
bit of.
Speaker 4: Fit or detriment.
Speaker 5: I know, I'm just I'm a little nervous for us
next week when we're there, because you know, a lot
of times we're all going to be commuting kind of
back and forth.
Speaker 2: How early are we going to have to leave?
Speaker 5: Hopefully because in the morning, like we are able to
get to the convention center, get set up and feel
good about it, be ready to go.
Speaker 3: Oh, I just thought about trying to park. It doesn't matter,
don't matter, I know I did. Yeah, Airic Trust is correct.
It's been an extra twenty minutes trying to get into
the rena. A few weeks back, I said so many
curse words for my son Alo. Well, the bastive sweater
Bob plays baby, it's cold out size.
Speaker 4: Did you slip into a deep sleep. It's not It's
not true, guys. I don't.
Speaker 3: I've never I've never roofeed anybody. Okay, and I don't.
I don't plan on. Sorry, I'm not you. I'm not
T Cosby. So everybody's calling me right now. I'm not
T Cosby. Okay, T Bill would be better. M Yeah,
you're right, Actually, yeah, yeah Bill.
Speaker 2: How about y'all get wittier chat dummies? T Bill?
Speaker 3: Uh So, the Saints coaching search is still searching, you know,
still going on and uh appearing.
Speaker 2: The Coast Guard could find a candidate at this point.
Speaker 3: Apparently the latest Jake is that you're down to two candidates.
I'm a bit surprised about one element. Uh, but Nick Underhill,
they're talking to the Senior Bowl basis saying in his
mind that he believes that at this point it's it's
down to just Kellen Moore and Mike Kafka, with Kellen
Moore obviously being choice number one as he's in the
Super Bowl right now. Saint's pretty enamored with him. He's
got a really good resume, kind of above that of Kafka.
So let's start there. What does that do for you
to hear that those are the final.
Speaker 5: Two candidates who to you're at this point when you're
like a week behind everybody else, like you're the last job,
and not even close. Right, everybody's moved on, everybody's getting
ready to go, everybody's got their staffs down here, and
they know who their head coach is going to be.
So you're at a point where, honestly, for where you're at,
I guess it's not that bad as far as you
at least have some candidates that you know have interviewed
for head coaching jobs before. I You're not to the
point where you've got to go elevate one of your
assistant coaches or maybe even the old Rizzler coming back.
So I mean, you got some guys that have had
other head coaching interviews. This job is going to be difficult, though,
no matter who takes it. I'm not sure that Jesus
himself right now could take this roster and do a
whole lot. There's a lot of challenges. We've talked to
people who said this might be the worst job in
the last ten years of the NFL. That carried weight
with me when that was I'm like, oh my god,
the worst job in the last decade.
Speaker 3: And you know, sometimes you got to be like it's
it's always wild in life. How sometimes you have to
be told something and then once you are told.
Speaker 2: It, you're like, how did I not see this?
Speaker 3: Like, of course that's the case, but that's how I
feel about the worst job in ten years thing. Yeah,
Like I was kind of like, well, there's some positives
just to that, but like now that you mentioned it
in those terms, like well, actually yes, like obviously right,
like how did I not arrive here independently.
Speaker 5: In my own so they got I mean the assistant
coach that told me this, he said, three strikes, no
money to spend cap hell, no young quarterback on the
roster that you feel great about, like a franchise tight quarterback,
and no draft pick to go get said franchise quarterback.
He said, when you're looking at jobs, those are the
three things. If you have one of the three, Okay,
if you have two, man, I really don't know. If
you got three, yeah, obviously you strike out. And that's
what the Saints are dealing with right now.
Speaker 3: Uh, And so I guess the other thing is if
those really are the final two cannons. You surprised that
the Rizzler's not in that number, because he does. I
know it would be unexciting, people be pissed and everything,
but like just.
Speaker 5: To kind of be a placeholder, yeah yeah, unfortunately for.
Speaker 3: Him basically as like a fall guy, like as a passy,
like as a as a bridge guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But I mean I am surprised, yes, because I mean,
yet Ak and some mothers kind of come out and
you know, say that they would feel good about him
being yeah the guy. But I feel like they would
have done that a while back, and so I am,
but I am surprised that we're at this point and
they don't throw his name in there as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well either way, it's going on still Kellimore. Option
one looks like Kafka maybe Option two. Uh, and like
we continue to say, unfortunately, I don't know that either
is going to be set up for very much success
Tokeyoki says crazy the Super Bowls in the one city
nobody wants to coach in if people just laughing walking
in and out of the dome, embarrassing for the city
and the people. It's really bad, man, It's it's it
is done. The Saints and the Pelicans right now. It's
a huge downswing and for both franchises, like it's hard
to see the light at the end of the tunnel,
you know. So it's not a situation where you have
a lot of youth to latch onto and feel good
about or any reason to believe that things are going
to get better. And so the city of New Orleans
from professional sports, I mean, it's it's the worst that
I've ever seen it as an adult, really.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, there's a generation of Saints fans that
only know success. If you were born in two thousand
and you're twenty five years old, you've only known the
Saints to have a Super Bowl window basically, that's that's
been open. So these last couple of years have been
really rough for you. Now, if you're somebody that you
know is forty forty five and whatever agee that you
know what I'm saying. You remember the iNTS, you remember
the bags over over the head, But it's been so
long since you've had that feeling and has had some
good years, but it fell off there at the end
in Hurricane Katrina. Obviously just devastation and you're playing in
Baton Rouge and you're playing.
Speaker 2: In San Antonio and that was such a mess.
Speaker 5: And then since that point though, like you've been a
model franchise. You were so far from a model franchise
right now and you feel like you were right back
having a paper bag over your head and just watching filth.
That's what you're watching right now, right And so I
don't know what you get fired up about. I think
you have some good players, but those good players are
all over thirty. Like we talked about yesterday, what are
you selling? How do you feel good about the future,
knowing where you're at in cap hell, knowing that your
GM doesn't love to get draft choices.
Speaker 2: He loves to give them away. Like what are you
clinging on to right now?
Speaker 3: Well, just remember, guys, like Mickey Loomis said, because you
know the results of the results of we're five and
twelve doesn't mean we're.
Speaker 4: Doing anything wrong.
Speaker 3: So they're good. They you know they're not doing anything wrong,
So it'll certainly right itself, all right when we get

Senior Bowl and Mobile Alibi brought to you by le
Beart's because Hotel and Bad Rouge and yesterday media got

these interviews are better than others. We're gonna start with
the worst. One felt very awkward. I don't know why
it just.
Speaker 4: Did, but here was me going to sit down? Yeah,
this is awful for.
Speaker 3: A couple of minutes with Kentucky d Lineman to six seven.
I mean, wait till you see this video, guys, how
tiny I look? The sixth invana itself? Dion Walker?
Speaker 4: What's going on y'all?
Speaker 3: We are here live at the Senior Ball in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 4: Here Dion Walker, Oh my fuck, dude.
Speaker 3: As you can see, this is maybe the biggest man
out here. The program said six six and you came
in as six seven man. The rare instance where somebody
lies down. How we feel and how's the body feeling
after a couple of days.
Speaker 9: I'm just feeling good, you know, injuries that I did
have during the season, you know, not really feeling anymore.
So I'm feeling good, being able to run around, you know, show.
Speaker 3: My talents, and that you haven't been a very good
couple of days for you.
Speaker 4: What do you feel like coming into this week?
Speaker 3: What were your main goals and do you feel like
so far that you've been accomplishing them.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was just to show coaches that I can
still run that you know, one setback wasn't can't define me.
You know, I'm gonna come out run, get my pat levelow,
show coaches that I can run and I can you know,
do anything that they need me to do. And so far,
I feel like I showed it.
Speaker 3: What's it been like on the mental side of the equation, right,
because I mean everybody knows what the NFL, you know,
college big They're gonna meet you where you are, right NFL,
You're gonna have to meet him if there's somebody else
waiting in line.
Speaker 2: So what's it been like getting in these meeting rooms
learning the scheme?
Speaker 6: It's been all good.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 9: I'm kind of a like a film junkie, you know,
play with a junkie to where you know, I can
feel in, fill in like anywhere on the defensive line,
so I can fit into any scheme, you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what was your what was your favorite memory playing
at Kentucky man uh Kroger field.
Speaker 2: You know, it's not like.
Speaker 9: I mean George or LSU and one of the big
stadiums with the fans. They get rid of you when
they want to have.
Speaker 3: You in this last one for me, have you ever
seen Lord of the Rings? No, have you ever seen
Star Wars?
Speaker 6: Which ones? I'm not too sure?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, bro Dian, thank you so much, so much.
Just hey, you know what's the funniest part about that is, guys,
all you'll listen, will never get those two minutes back.
Speaker 4: Stole two minutes of your life. So jokes on you
your freaking bums.
Speaker 2: Well did you get the Lord of the Rings?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Let me steal another minute by telling you about all
starts Toot to bed ruge all start to Bedrugs dot
com is the website. You go there. You can immediately
search the inventory by keyword price, make it model, So
whatever your kind of parameters are, they're gonna find the

you still get that warranty coverage because a lot of
places don't give you all star toota of ban Rouge,
off of Airline and uh and and and Goodwood very
conveniently located Alla band Rouge.
Speaker 2: I never seen panic.
Speaker 4: I'm panicked.
Speaker 3: It's always best to a hail Mary the question and
planned the interview with the thun. Yeah, I'm deep.
Speaker 4: I'm hit him with his version of I Like turtles. Yeah. Sure,
that might have.
Speaker 3: Been the crappiest interview I've ever seen. I conna tell
his to a dumber To be fair, I didn't think
the dumb at all. I thought he's done a great
I think I'm an idiot in anyway.
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, he didn't give you a lot. See
I'm gonna I'm gonna back you up here.
Speaker 5: He didn't give you a lot, all right, anytime anybody
says so yeah, let's.
Speaker 3: Try, Uh well, I mean he's like Kroger Field. It
kind of sucks, but when the fans want to be good,
they are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're tight. You're seeing Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, he's seen stor Wars.
Speaker 2: He couldn't tell you which one.
Speaker 3: So instrupted Fo shots up and he was all right, well, okay,
let's try and get that.
Speaker 4: Okay, here is Jared Ivy.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: You all walk back off the bench and we are
live here the Senior Bowl, and we got one of
the most fearsome pass rushers in the entire country, Jared Ivy.
Speaker 4: By the way, she's a Starfield native.
Speaker 2: Missus.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jared, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, look, old miss Legends started georg Tech into his
old miss Legend.
Speaker 4: Jared was something, Man.
Speaker 8: How's this week been going to It's it's been a
really good week. I feel like, you know, a really
productive week. I've been able to, you know, get out
there and play.
Speaker 2: My game and stuff's hitting.
Speaker 6: So I'm super excited. What were some of the goals.
Speaker 3: That you entered the week with, maybe in terms of
what you wanted to show, what you wanted to work on,
what you wanted to prove, and how do you feel
like that's going so far?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I think everybody knew that I could rush, and so
you know, I'm just doing my thing when it comes
to that. But I feel like that what I really
wanted to lock in on and focus on was showing
how physical. I am and playing extremely physical the entire day.
And you know, I feel like I've been going and
doing that.
Speaker 3: I mean, you looked pretty damn physical to me when
I watch you on films, So I don't think there
should be any doubt there. What about taking back to
the last couple of years at ole Miss, I've just
been very good.
Speaker 4: A lot of winning.
Speaker 3: But it's a fascinating culture, right, bringing a lot of
guys in from different backgrounds all over the country. How
were you all able to meld together with like so
quickly with just one off season?
Speaker 2: Like what's that process?
Speaker 8: Like it's almost like that class that came there, that
transfer class that came there in twenty it was almost
like it was were freshman hero all over again, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So we all we all.
Speaker 8: Came in and and uh most of the producers on
that team were transfers, and and uh so we kind
of set our own culture, influenced by the you know,
the coature that was left behind by guys like Sam Williams,
Matt Corral. They had a really good season beforehand, and
then they left some guys that that uh, you know,
we immediately bonded with and then kind of took it
over and made it our own thing. And then you
know the core of that group where we were all
there for three years. So yeah, anybody else coming in,
like you know, us bringing.
Speaker 6: Them into the phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then well you know we were talking to
him and even been one of those I guess joined
a little bit later. But he described Old Miss as
a player school, you know, and just how player and
friendly give it.
Speaker 4: Would you agree with that?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would absolutely agree. You know, it's it's loose,
we got fun. There's a whole bunch of juice and energy.
So you know, uh, you know, kif Kiffer runs it
un orthodox I think to a lot of other people,
and people doubt it, but you know we won and
he had success.
Speaker 4: Is he funny?
Speaker 2: Yeah, act he's a funny guy.
Speaker 6: I think.
Speaker 8: I think he's more of a recruiter and turns it
on and yeah yeah yeah, and use it when he
needs to. But yeah, he's he's more of a laid
back reserve kind of guy in the in the in
the facility.
Speaker 3: Interesting, Okay, last one for me, Like you said, three
years That'll Miss started to intecht But what was your
favorite college memory in college football?
Speaker 8: Memory, I'll probably say being Georgia and you know, after
having a really good game and then and then having
the having the field get stormed, it was it was
really cool. That was and I mean crazy enough the
second time Georgia down.
Speaker 3: Right, you think about who all miss was when you
got there, wus, how you finished, how like do you
take pride in being a part of that defensive renaissance?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Absolutely, and I think, uh with that matchup it's even
more glaring. You know, in twenty twenty three and awful
loss in Athens and then to come back and and
dominate a team like that and that's been on top
for a very long time. It was a surreal filming.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Jared, we'll look best of like this man
keep kicking as to get absolutely Uh so whatever those
still I think pretty boring, but you know better in
the last one not a complete disaster.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Maybe the funniest part though, And why Jared Ivy is
my Senior Bowl MVP is I don't know why I
didn't do this with the mic on, but I asked
him if he's seen Lord of the Rings, and he
is the only player that answered in the affirmative. He said, uh,
he said, yes, I'm currently doing an extended edition Rewatch.
So when we talk about intangibles, you know, mentality, the
things that are gonna make you make it in the NFL.
The fact that Jared Ivy is currently, as we speak,
in the midst of an extend edition Rewatch lets me
know that it's a high character guy that I went
on my team again. Don't know why I didn't do
that with the mic on that time, but shout out
to Jared Ivy, the only one of these cats that's
seen Lord.
Speaker 4: Of the Rings.
Speaker 2: Apparently we didn't get that on tape. No, No, yeah,
I know somebody that has not seen Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 3: Place for Kentucky, Yes, no, but he has seen some
Star Wars. Can't recall which ones. I know they weren't
alive with Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 4: That's why.
Speaker 3: That's why I think it's interesting. That's why I think
Jared Ivy is. That's why I think his father raised him, Craig.
So that's what I told him. All right, let's let's
let's go to break and uh when we get back.
We we we We did get talk to Jack Best.
Speaker 4: That was great. Look forward to off the bench, go to.

Speaker 7: Yesterday I got to talk to Jack Besh.
Speaker 3: Jack Besh, Louisiana Legend, Llenc Legend finishing a TCU jack
with Chubman. One of the standouts of the practices so far.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: I know it's not a situation where you're gonna rest
on your laurels or.
Speaker 2: Anything, but how are we feeling performance.
Speaker 4: Wise after a couple of days.
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely stacked two good days on top of each other.
Speaker 10: You know, I feel like I've definitely showed the coaches
I'm gonna span the field different things like that, and
I'll be catching the ball pretty well.
Speaker 6: Those ads are in the past, though, so SMA stacked
another one tomorrow and go do my thing. The game
will start to do.
Speaker 3: What's your process like to to lock in for these
practices because it's real easy. I feel like to make
them bigger than what they are because it feels like
everything's on the line.
Speaker 4: So how do you how do you look to.
Speaker 10: Get your mind right and get in some Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, praying has been a big thing.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: I have a picture of my brother in the Bible. Well,
I get on the knee and I just say.
Speaker 10: A prayer up to him and that he'll guide me,
my brother, and that Jesus will just guide me for
these practices and they'll take care of me.
Speaker 6: My brother's guardian, my best guard and angel could ever
ask for.
Speaker 10: So I'm just super heavily lean on my face this
past couple of weeks, this past year, I think it's.
Speaker 6: All just coming at really helped me be able to do.
Speaker 10: What I'm doing today and now attribute to all that
Jesus Christ my brother for helping me having the two.
Speaker 6: Days of passing before.
Speaker 3: What would what was it like from ah when you
look at your career starting outso bursting on the scene
I mean, you're a to see media days representing the
team and then going in kind of finding your fortune elsewhere,
going to TCU. What was what was that kind of
process like and how did you continue to push through
it to now where you're here at the senior book.
Speaker 6: So my first goal was always to make it the
l s U.
Speaker 10: But my my real dream was to play in the
NFL so I can take care of my family and
give them everything that ever wanted more. You know, obviously
I got that, so I've played there. I just knew
that if I if I wanted to make my real
dream come true.
Speaker 6: That I wasn't having to make a change. I knew
it was gonna be easy. I knew it was going
to be hard. You know. I just leaned in my faith.
I leaned on God.
Speaker 10: And I think all that adversity that I've been through
from my senior year, my from my freshman year and
my senior year has built me up for the for
the moment of my brother's passing, just because I've been
through so much and I've.
Speaker 6: Believed in God and I've leaned in my faith so
much in this past especially this past year. I tribute
that to the season I had.
Speaker 10: I think it's built me up to be that rock
for my family in this in this moment. So like
I said, don't thank god. He does nothing by accident.
There are no coincidences.
Speaker 4: So well, your brother's a hero. And just know that.
I mean, you know this, but old Louisiana stands behind you.
Speaker 6: Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Here was Jack besh Man.
Speaker 3: I mean, what an impressive young man, obviously again dealing
with so much this week. This is already a week
that is mentally taxing enough without tragedy rearing its head
as it his and his as it has in his
and his family's life. And how we finish off there,
I mean, I think we all do agree, which is
he has the entire state behind him, and his brother
was a hero, and Jack is doing an incredible job
of honoring his brother. All right, when we get back here,
we got big dear, no big deal, we got munchies.
We still got to give with him Jones as well.
So keep it locked on off.
