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

Speaker 2: Say Hester and Hester.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each other.
Speaker 2: On the air.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this back Control.
Speaker 1: Live from the Mercedes Benz Baton Rouge Studio. It's Off
the Bench.
Speaker 4: Welcome man, our number three, the final hour of a
Monday edition of Off the Bench. Taylor Sharps sitting in
the host share for our guys Jacob Hesterer and Matt Flynn,
both of which we'll be back tomorrow on Tuesday. Right now,
we do it every Monday around this time. Let's go
out to the phone lines. Our guy, Devin Snow aka
hold the Mayo on the phone right now.
Speaker 5: Dev, How are you this morning?
Speaker 3: Bud?
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm doing great. How you doing?
Speaker 4: I am doing good, not not as good as you.
You were out there living it up at UFC three
eighteen this begin How was that?
Speaker 6: Oh man? It was everything. You know, been waiting for
this to happen for years, but it was everything I
imagine like Tom's ten. You know, it was just a
huge success. It was electric, man, first time I've had
a UFC event and it did not fall short whatsoever.
Was this year first, like ufcving going to Oh absolutely, yeah.
I mean I don't travel much, you know what I'm saying,
so I had to wait, and dude, it was it
was worth the wait.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I was looking last night and I'm like, man, did
the did the City of New Orleans.
Speaker 5: Do enough to get more events like this? How about this?
Speaker 4: That fight between Pourier and Holloway the most expensive gait,
meaning they made the most money of any event ever
in the Smoothieking Center.
Speaker 5: They sold it out.
Speaker 4: I mean, fans showed up like I have to imagine
there's going to be another fight coming to the Big
Easy pretty soon.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean all you got to do is go
look at the clip when Pourier not Max Holloway down.
I believe it was in the second round when he
knocked him down and he went for the guillotine. When
you listened to the pop of that crowd, I mean,
if I'm dating a white sitting right there, I'm like,
right when I get that, I'm like, dude, we we
gotta we got to figure out when we're coming back, man,
Because it was, like I said, man, it was electric, bro,
Like people showed up. It was a great crowd. It was.
It was it was just it was. It was once
in a lifetime, But now I would say, hey man,
this has got to be several times a lifetime after that. Right.
Speaker 4: As far as the fight itself goes though, like it
obviously goes the distance.
Speaker 5: It's a Max holliway unanimous decision.
Speaker 4: So many people out there like, oh I would have
I would have judged you the fight differently. I thought
it was evident that that Max Holloway won the fight.
What were your thoughts on that?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, I mean if you watch the fight, you
would yeah, you would definitely be able to take away
that Max Holloway won the fight. Hey man, it was
a good fight, right. It wasn't a legendary, you know,
all time fight, no, But I mean these two guys
have done that every time they stepped in the octagon.
You know, Dustin Poory don't really have anything left to prove.
This was just a final send off for him. I
mean I think that they did it right. The pre
limbs were bang is. I mean, the first five fights
all finished and with a finish, so that the prelms
were electric. You know, it was just one of those
things and you had to be there from fight one
to the end. It was I was there for seven hours, dude,
from five from five pm to one thirty am.
Speaker 5: Where where'd you sit? How good were the seeds?
Speaker 6: I was in Row one oh one, I mean Section
one oh one, Row eleven, So they were great seeds.
They were amazing. And I'm gonna tell you I saved
up for over six months to get that seats. It
was worth it, dude. No vacation this year, so I
just did that.
Speaker 5: I mean that that is the vacation.
Speaker 4: Who who'd we see like a Sotho vod showing up
like before prelims, like he was locked in. He was
there about as long as you were, Like who who
were some of the big names you saw walk in?
Speaker 6: I mean there was a lot of like notable UFC
fighters there. You know, you had justin Gatgeetu, you had
Michael Chamlin, that Korean zombie was that Diego Lopez was there.
You know, there's a lot of notable UFC people of course,
like the Who's who? Like in the state they walled
you know it was I mean Cam Jordan Blake, Groopie,
he was in the Blake groupies everywhere Blake Groupy goes everywhere. Dude,
I'm telling you, but nobody gets around the city more
than Blake groopyro. I see him literally everywhere, you know.
Speaker 4: I was telling me and Lander were kind of recapping
the fight. She was there as well, and you know,
I was asking, like, I've never been to a UFC event.
I imagine like the different everybody talks about it with hockey, right, Like, oh,
the TV viewing versus the in person experience is so
much different. I imagine UFC is that, and then some
in terms of like being in the arena, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, I mean I watch UFC every Saturday and I
love it. I love sitting in my house watching UFC.
But this was, like, like I said, man, something like
you have to experience. Yeah, we cannot compare it to man,
it's like going to like somebody's concerts that people tell
you all the time. They're like, man, you have to
experience this in person. You know. That's what it was, man,
There's a production of a lifetime. And that's why I
think UFC is like one of the best organizations in
the world, because, I mean, it was such a great production.
Speaker 3: Deev.
Speaker 4: Let's switch over something coming up in New Orleans, Saints
training camp getting ready to.
Speaker 5: Start here pretty soon. Work thank god, right right?
Speaker 4: I mean there is nothing going like thank god there
was a UFC event in New Orleans this weekend. Like
there is nothing going on, Like you had SEC media Days,
but you know that's in Atlanta, Like there was nothing
going on, Like trust me for someone that had to
host the show here a lot recently, like the content,
they aren't a lot out there. But look over the weekend,
Tyler shuck, he got the contract done. He did get
that fully guaranteed deal. He'll be locked in for training camp.
So him and Rattler obviously battling it out. But like
outside of the quarterback position, obviously that's where all the
talking is going to be.
Speaker 5: But like, what are you keeping an eye on?
Speaker 6: Receiver? Dude? Receiver man? I mean, we need to we
need to find another receiver that's going to be consistent
that we can depend on a third receiver that can
make plays. You know, whether it's Brandon Cooks, whether it's
at one of these young guys bub means, you know,
whoever it is, we got to find another guy. So oh,
I see in the chat Ouschmann and mark Ingram was
that Ryan Claud Yeah, but no, like, just got to
find another guy that's consistent. Man, I can you know,
stay healthy and make plays. Bro, you know it's not
going to be easy for these young quarterbacks. So we
got to find one more receiver.
Speaker 5: Who do you think that guy is?
Speaker 4: I know it's a tough question, but like, who do
you who do you think that guy is going into camp?
Like that's going to get the first crack at that
fourth spot.
Speaker 6: I mean I would hope it's like bub means, you
know what, we drafted him in what the fifth round
last year, So I mean I would hope it would
it be somebody like him. I mean, I think Brandon
Cooks is gonna be a good addition for the team.
He's just got to stay healthy. And that's the same
thing with the two guys that are starting. You know,
Shaheed and Chris Olive. Both those guys have like a
little bit of jury history, one a little more than
the other. But I mean one of those guys goes down, Bro,
it's bad enough these guys are They're not big receivers. Man.
We got a bunch of horse jockeys receivers, you know,
we we need somebody who's going to be dependable, because
that's gonna be big for the growth of the quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: Man, speaking of dependable, you got a hole at corner
right now. Like it's it's bad to it's bad to say, hey,
kool Aid mcentree is gonna be one of our starters.
Like he's the second year guy that didn't play a ton,
But like that's kind of where you're at. Like I
would prefer Alante Taylor stay in the slot instead of
on the outside like you have Quincy Riley. There's been
talks of a Sante Samuel Junior, but like we haven't
heard an update in like three weeks now, so who
the hell knows what's going on there. But like I
guess opposite of mckinstrey, who takes that spot?
Speaker 5: Is it Riley? Is it Isaac? And I'm like, what
are your thoughts there?
Speaker 6: I mean, nobody really like jumps out at me. We
can't say much about Riley yet because you ain't really
seen him play in the league. But hey, man, it'd
be nice to see ow draft picks work out like that,
you know, Yeah, I mean Quincy Riley, like that would
be that would be fire if he was just good
like the first year. You know, I think that's one
of the main things the Saints got to do better with.
Uh this year is not like baby and these guys
getting them on the field, right, Like how did Dennis
Allen regimeed it? Like they very sparingly put like even
with kool aid, you know what I'm saying, Like very
sparingly put these guys out on the field. Like I
get it they're young and stuff like that, but it's like, man,
throw these guys in the fire, but we in the
throat in the fire type situation, like you got to
see if these guys can ball or not. So it'd
be nice to see like Quincy Riley show up. Uh
you know, yayat how you said neat him? Okay, I
mean we've seen this guy play. Do we think that
this guy's going to turn into a superstar and win?
Speaker 4: Like he's been in the league eight years, he's kind
of just been an average to below average player, Like.
Speaker 5: That's who he is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's who he is. So one of your young
guys that you drafted and needs a step up, whether
it's kool Aid, whether it's Quincy, Like somebody's got to
make plays out that man, dev.
Speaker 4: It's so funny, Like one more for you with the Saints,
Like it's it's so funny, Like I just had Raster
Jackson on at eight thirty and he brought up a
perfect point, like there's reason for optimism with the Saints
offensive line and there's reason to be terrified with the
Saints offensive line. It's it's kind of one or the
other depending on where you sit, Like they bring in Banks,
hopefully Pinning works out at guard, you got fuagat the
other tackle, Like what are your realistic expectations for this group?
Speaker 5: Like my my thing is like can they be solid.
Speaker 6: Who they should be? They should be? I mean, if not,
we kind of be in lie to right. I thought
pennin last year wasn't awful, right, Like people were really
hard on that guy, Like going into last year, very
hard on that dude, like he's unplayable, blah blah blah
blah blah. I didn't think he was too awful. You know,
it's just especially given the situation. But now you even
added another guy, uh dude from Texas. You know we
should be good at O line. I mean, how many
drafts do you want to spend on O line, right.
I think you talked about this four.
Speaker 5: First rounders and the McCoy's the second rounders. That's true.
Speaker 6: Line, they're averaging picking an O lineman in the first
round or the second round the last ten years every
other year. So I mean, how many more years do
you want to spend on offensive line? Right? I mean
eventually you got to be like, hey, this is either
it or you know, we kind of missed. So I think,
if anything, the O line should be strong, you know,
and even when you start thinking about like some of
the tight ends we have, you know, some of those
guys can block really good too. You know, Foster more
not bad, you know what I'm saying when it comes
to that aspect of the game. I just think that
we should be good enough at a line to where
we can take some shots and see what we got
going on at quarterback.
Speaker 4: Dev switching from UH, Devin snow joining us right now,
switching from the Saints to.
Speaker 5: UH A little bit more entertainment.
Speaker 4: Obviously, last week I wanted to get your thoughts on
this because I thought you would one have an opinion
on this. The astronomer tech CEO out with his HR
lady at the Coldplay concert.
Speaker 5: What are we doing?
Speaker 6: I mean, I saw that dude, and it's just like,
first of all, there's a lot of that going on
in the country, you know, I'd love to see the
statistics on that man. Very bold by that guy, right,
I mean, at the very least stand behind a few people.
This guy is like, you know, not even a rod
behind anybody. They right right in the open. I mean
it's almost like, bro, like, what did you expect? You
know what I'm saying. But you know what, we're all human.
We all make mistakes, I guess, but that onen't write there.
He's gonna have to do a lot of explaining how
too well.
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, Like I was, I was thinking
about this, you know, last week when it first came out.
Their reaction didn't help the situation, Like, sure, look you're
already on the big screen, right, somebody in the crowd's
gonna recognize you. I didn't know who the hell this
guy was until Wednesday, Like the video didn't go viral
if you don't freak out and jump under the table.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there's so many other things you could have
did too. You could have held up, like you know,
some drinks in front of your face. You know, you
could have I don't know, man, pull an umbrella, whatever
you gotta do, you know what I'm saying. But when
you ran like that and you duck down, that was
that was the end. That was the end, right, Like
the guy on the pa oh.
Speaker 4: No oh yeah, well so so Chris Martin a cold
Play is on the mic and he goes, ah, either
they're having an affair or they're really shy.
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, little did you know? Like this is
exactly what's happening. But I don't know if you.
Speaker 4: Saw Stubb Hull, Like the official Stowbub facebook page one
million followers posted on Friday, they they were like doing
promos for for the Stubb a bat to get your
concert tickets and they said, we have Coldplay concert tickets
for you for you and your favorite coworker.
Speaker 5: Like, I mean, the the stuff coming out about this
is all time.
Speaker 6: Yeah. No, I mean it's funny. It's that a colds concert,
you know. I don't know, man, but they they could
have did better in reaction. They could they could have
done so many things to kind of blow it off
nonchalantly in a way, and it wouldn't have made World
News exactly.
Speaker 4: It was their reaction did not help things that Before
we get you out of here, it's Monday, it's rbn
R day.
Speaker 5: Where are we going?
Speaker 6: Uhlandra, where are we going?
Speaker 5: He has absolutely no idea?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have no idea, man.
Speaker 5: Where he's going. That's a good point.
Speaker 6: It's a niece at this point.
Speaker 5: You just you just go based on vibes, like pretty
much permanently at this point.
Speaker 6: Very much permanently, dude. So the so the very end,
that's how That's how I'm going.
Speaker 5: What number we want right now?
Speaker 6: I mean it's what three seventy one mondays n Row.
That's over five years. Man, I'm growing old doing this. Man.
Speaker 4: Man, it's it's it's wild. And what what you have
grown doing? Like since then? You were absolutely killing it,
dev Thanks so much for hopping on, gonna do it
forever forever. You're gonna be like seventy five years old
walking in with your walker and getting the red beans.
Speaker 6: No, absolutely not. I mean I'll be eating them now,
but it'll be far over from then. But you know,
all good things eventually come to an end, bro, and
that's all good things.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 5: You you have absolutely killed it. Dev thanks so much

Speaker 4: Welcome in Friday at oh Monday edition. I got a
little out of myself there, guys. I wish it was
the end of the week Monday edition. We still got
a long week to go. Here on off the bench
Taylor Shop with the affiliate end for Jacob Pester and
Matt Flynn.
Speaker 5: Right now, want to talk a.
Speaker 4: Little LSU football because over the weekend, Hunt Palmer right
here at Louisianasports dot Net and the folks over at
LSU wire kind of put out a similar list. So
for LSU wire it was three breakout players. For LSU,
Hunt put out three Tigers that could make all SEC.
I'm like, okay, well you gotta break out to make
all SEC. Those are kind of one in the same.
I want to look at both lists kind of break
down the similarities and where they differ.
Speaker 5: Start with the LSU wire article. They have Tredez Green.
Speaker 4: This makes sense. There's not many guys out there that
are six foot seven. He's an athletic freak. And a
lot of people have said, Okay, well, Bower Sharp's coming in.
It's a two tight end system. How is that going
to affect Tredes Green. I think it helps Treds Green
a lot because Tradees is not going to be your
three point stance handing the dirt traditional tight end. He's
I don't think he's ever going to be that. With
Bower Sharp in the game, you can run a two
tight end set, have Bower play your more traditional spot
and move trads Green out wide, where he is an
absolute matchup nightmare. However, if you were out there at
spring practices, how are Sharp's versatile two? I mean there
were times where he was lined up at slot receiver
running slants. I mean he's not your run of the mill,
just average every day tight end. As well, Bower Sharp
can move around. So the versatility of both of those
guys I think is going to make for a great
duo all season long. Like it makes so much sense
the trade as Green is on this list. The next
pick is Tyree Adams, and I love this pick for
obvious reasons. He's probably going to be your starting left tackle.
Replacing Will Campbell is going to be a tough ask.
I get that, but if you remember Tyree Adams last
season got hurt early in the year, and he's a
guy that the coaching staff was highland like. When he
went down with an injury, Coach Kelly said, look, he
may not be one of our starting five, but it's
a big time injury because he's basically our sixth offensive line.
I mean, if anybody goes down, they're gonna do some rotating,
and Tyree Adams is gonna slide in there and be
part of that starting offensive line.
Speaker 5: And that was an O line with a lot of
talent last year.
Speaker 4: They felt good enough about Tyree Adams then to be like, hey,
he's our sixth guy, He's our swingman coming off the bench.
This makes a ton of sense to me. All the
talk in the offseason is going to be about the
offensive line, and rightful, Lisa, it's your biggest question mark.
You have to replace Campbell and and Murray Jones, guys
that were booking tackles for three years. You have to
replace Garrett Dellinger, who played a ton of football. Miles
Fraser came over and was really really good for you
when he transferred over from Florida International. I mean, he
was a stable piece of that offensive line for multiple years,
one of Brian Kelly's first big time transfers that he
brought up. Like obviously, outside of Jayden Daniels, but Miles
Fraser made a big impact on this team. The only
one you have coming back is DJ Chester and that's
where they go next. They say DJ Chester's gonna have
to break out. I get the versatility. I'm not sure
if anyone would consider him a breakout player though. In
twenty twenty five. He's the guy you're the most sure
about on the offensive line. He's the guy that when
you look and you say, okay, whether it's guard, whether
it's center, DJ Chester's going to fit somewhere on this
offensive line. And I know everyone's gonna say, oh, he
wasn't great. It's center, Okay, that's fine. If you want
to move him to guard. He was pretty good.
Speaker 5: After the snap. You gotta get the snap corrected if
he is indeed going to play center. But after the snap.
Speaker 4: He was actually pretty good. And you need some sort
of stability, some sort of leadership on the offensive line.
I expect that to be DJ Chester. He's the only
returning starter from a year ago. He's that steady presence
more than anyone on the offensive line. You need d
J Chester to be that steady presence. I think he's
going to be that. And like, I get where they're
going with this in terms of, like, hey, these are
guys you need to make a big impact. I'm not
considering DJ Chester a breakout player just because I think
I have a pretty good idea of knowing what we're
going to get from DJ Chester. A solid offensive lineman
that can be versatile. They can play both guard spots
and center, and he's going to start somewhere on your
offensive line.
Speaker 5: I know what I'm getting with DJ Chester.
Speaker 4: Going back to Tyree Adams, that one makes a lot
more sense because he's a little bit more of an
X factor. Why he's gonna have to play left tackle
in all likelihood locking Garrett Nelsmeyer's blind side, which is
super important, and he got some starts last season. He
played well in the Bowl game, but he has not
been an every day, every down SEC player, and he's
gonna have to do that on a team that has
championship aspirations, on an offense that has a ton of
weapons at skill position that everyone's looking at that offensive
line for someone to step up. Why can't it be
Tyree Yadams. As far as our guy Hunt Palmer at
Louisiana Sports dot Net, Hunt puts out three Tigers that
could make all SEC. He also mentions Tradees Green again
for the obvious reason, Tradees is going to be a
matchup nightmare. You saw it in the bowl game when
Mason Taylor didn't play in the Bowl game. You saw
Trade as Green make a big impact called two touchdown
passes in that game, and he was all over the field.
He lined up at your traditional spot, he lined up
in the slide, He even lined up out wide on
some plays. I think in that bowl game you saw
a sneak peak of how trade as a Green is
going to be used this year. And it was actually
more predictable what he was going to do in the
bowl game because you didn't really have another tight end
again going back to Bower Sharp. With Bower Sharp in
the game next to Trade's Green, it makes everything a
lot more confusing because like everyone's going to say, Okay, well,
Bower's going to play the traditional tight end spot that
moves trade as green Ow.
Speaker 5: Why why can't they flip it?
Speaker 4: So promise you Bower Sharp is more athletic and more
varsatile done a lot of people think you don't know
who's going to line up where.
Speaker 5: That's what makes him so dangerous.
Speaker 4: Adding to the fact that he's an athletic for you
could six fit step that helps as well. The next
name on this list, Hunt Palmer mentions Patrick Payton.
Speaker 5: I love this pick.
Speaker 4: He was very productive at Florida State. He is your
most experienced pass rusher coming into the season. You want
Jack Piburn to become a pass rusher. Jack Piburn came
to LSU to be an every down player in a
third down pass rush. When you go look at Florida overall,
his numbers were productive. He didn't rush the passer at Ton.
So while he's going to be on the edge and
you think he's a sure tackler, he's a guy that's
gonna play hard for you like he did at Florida,
you don't really know what he's going to do off
the edge on third down pass rush situations. Sam could
be said with Jamari Butler a little more so then
than Jack Pibrin. He's a little bit more proven as
a pass rusher. But numbers wise, I mean Patrick Payton
by far the most productive transfer you brought in in
terms of guys that are going to rush the pass.
And he's lean, he's six', five only about two hundred
and twenty, pounds but he can get around that.
Speaker 5: Edge he's a fast. Guy this makes.
Speaker 4: Sense there was a mock draft about a couple months
ago that came out an early, one and, like you
don't look at mock drafts that, early but the point
was they had TWO lsu players going in the first,
Round Garrett nelsmeyer who's going in the top, ten and
then borderline first round pick Was Patrick.
Speaker 5: Paton that's what scouts think of.
Speaker 4: Him that's the kind of impact some believe he could
have on this team BECAUSE i think the secondary's, better
really Do pickett's coming In Ashton stamps is in his third.
Year you bring over a man sword and lane And Jakeem.
Jackson you got two really really productive, players And Tamarcus
cooley and Aj halsey back.
Speaker 3: There it's.
Speaker 4: Saved but each every secondary, good, bad somewhere in between
needs help from the pass. Rush you have to get
after the passer because that quarterback stands back there four
or five, seconds he's gonna pick apart the. Defense because
eventually it doesn't matter how good your secondary. Is somebody's
gonna sneak. Open then the quarterback's gonna find them because
they're gonna clean. Pocket you have to have a pass.
RUSH i Think Patrick payton can be that.
Speaker 5: Guy now. There LSU's gonna rotate a.
Speaker 4: LOT i, MEAN i Mentioned, BUTLER i Mentioned, piburn don't
Forget Gabriel rallifer who showed to flashes a year.
Speaker 5: Ago all of these guys are going to.
Speaker 4: Rotate BUT i think when you need, to like if
you're in The clemson, game you need somebody to get
in there rush the passer on third down in a big,
Moment Patrick payton's getting the first crack at no question About,
like can he be this Year's Braden? Swinson remember the
Jumps swinson made year one to year two when he
was Under Kevin. Peeples last, Year people's came in after
Following Blake baker From missouri And Braiden swinton was. EXCELLENT
i mean at the halfway point of the, season Like
Brayden swinson was leading in THE sec in. Sacks Braiden
swinson can play. FOOTBALL i Think Patrick payton can do
the same. Thing because you're Replacing swinson on one side
And Savion jones on the, other who wasn't quite the
elite pass rusher That swinson was a year, ago But
Savian jones was a really good. Player you have both
of your edge positions that need to be. Filled now
you have four guys to take two. SPOTS i think that's.
FINE i didn't even Mention Damian, chanklin who's coming in
as a. FRESHMAN i THINK lsu did a really good
job at the edge rusher, spot but maybe none big
Than Patrick. Pate the last name hum puts on this.
LIST Dj, pickett the five star true freshman. Cornerback this
pick is certainly based on, potential, obviously because he hasn't
played a, ton but, look there's a ton of.
Speaker 5: Size he's got the.
Speaker 4: Speed he's about six foot, three LIKE, Dj pickett has
the body to play corner or. SAFETY i prefer to
put him at. CORNER i think that's where he could
have the biggest, impact at least on this year's. Team
everyone expects him to be the next Great TIGERS. dB
you Have Corey raymond back in the. Fold if anybody
can get it out of, him It's Corey. Rain i'm
not sure how MUCH Dj pickett's gonna play this. Year
LIKE i would, love part of me wants A Dj
pickett to come in previously the best player right away and.
Play part of me doesn't WANT Dj pickett to play
at all because you're not having to rely on a.
Freshman you hit on the, transfer so you brought. It
you're older guys that have been in the program for
a number of years and they've stepped up as. Well
LIKE i get the PICK i don't hate it at.
ALL Dj pickett is a great. Selection but is there
anybody else being overlooked as far as a breakout player next?
YEAR i would love for it.
Speaker 5: To Be Ashton.
Speaker 4: Stamps So i'm gonna go, corner but a little bit.
Different he's your most EXPERIENCED dB AT lsu because he
didn't start as a freshman at least not most of the,
year but he played in a lot of games and
started towards the end of the. Year if you remember
you were so beat up that year that kind of
two thirds through the, season you had jav And toviano
on one, Side Ashton stams on the, other and you
just kind of threw him in the.
Speaker 5: Fire performed well last. Year he was a solid.
Speaker 4: Piece got overlooked a little bit because of the excellence
of The Wassia alexander on the other. Side but he showed,
promise he took a. Step he took a step from
year one to year. Two it was a solid corner
for you last. Year can he take another? Step can
he be an elite? Player can he be the leader
of that secondary. Group he's essentially injuring his third year
as a, start because again he played a ton as a,
freshman was your starter all last. Season comes in again this.
Year i'm Hoping Ashon stamps can lock down one of
those cornerback. Spots like in an ideal, World stamps has
one side. Lockdown you Have mansword To, Lane Jaqem jackson
AND dj pick at all fighting for the other spot
Because stamps has been that good in.
Speaker 3: Camp that is my.
Speaker 4: Hope that should be Every yell issue fans hope speaking
of like you Have mansword De Lane on the other,
side and a lot of people expect him to be
a STUT i get.
Speaker 5: It he was really good At Virginia.
Speaker 4: TECH a lot of people said he could play corner and,
safety but he'll have to adjust to the Sec Skeem
jackson hasn't played a ton At florida due to. INJURY
Dj piketts a. Freshman Hashien, stamps like for better Or,
worse is kind of that known commodity at this. Point
he can lock down one, side it'll help settle down
that other corner. Spot you could go To delane and be, like,
Oh stamps will help you on the other. Side if
he's not working, out, hey let's throw IN dj pick
and see what he's. Got let's Give Jakeem jackson a.
Shot but if you can lock down one side of your,
defense that'll help everything. Else AND i think there's potential
That Ashton stamps could maybe be that. Guy like, you,
look he doesn't have an interception and it's two years playing,
here but he had fourteen passes defended last. Season he
was better than a lot of people. Think AND i get.
It there were times where he got. Beat there were
times that last year that everybody on the defense got.
Beat that's why it was. SHAKE i think that's going
to improve this. Year it's his second year Under. Raymond
it's his second year in The Blake baker. Defense Like
Ashton stamps is a guy That i'm personally keeping an eye.
On maybe could be that breakout player for LSU's, defense
obviously at a very important. Position all, right we're going
to take a quick time out and we get. Back
we got a lot still to hit on here on

Speaker 4: It On, FRIDAY lsu announced that LEGENDARY pa announcer For
Tiger stadium and the P Marivitch Assembly, Center Dan bourne
is stepping. Away he will no longer be THE pa
announcer Inside Tiger. Stadium for, me it's another one of
those things in life where it's Like i'm getting. Older
the THINGS i enjoyed growing up that made me A
tiger fan are going, away And i'm not okay with,
it but you know when you look back on, It
LIKE i, remember FIRST lsu GAME i ever went to
WAS lsu Versus North, texas AND i WISH i could
remember the, year.
Speaker 5: Probably around though two, thousand two thousand and.
Speaker 4: One i'm twenty eight years, Old, Okay So Dan bourney
only play by only dress announcer Inside Tiger stadium THAT
i have ever, known at least as far AS i can,
remember AND i, mean his voice has just been synonymous
with so many big time moments LIKE i remember Like GoGet,
obviously that was my first. Game, wait and we had
season tickets WHEN i was growing. Up me and my
dad went all the games. TOGETHER i remember. THAT i
remember when he would announce The Golden band From Tiger
land at. HALFTIME i thought it was the coolest thing.
Up you hear him announce the band and they come
out and they make those notes that everyone in the stadium,
collapse along with before the opening kickoff when the band
comes out and does their. Thing it's always Dan burney's
voice that you. HEAR i remember twenty. Eleven everybody remembers
the game dubbed The game of The. Century, RIGHT lsu
goes To, alabama you win nine to six in. Overtime after,
THAT lsu was in the driver's seat to make it
to The National. Championship AND i REMEMBER lsu was running
out of the. Tunnel there's Less miles doing his signature
hold back when he's holding everybody, back trying to make
sure they all run out at the same.
Speaker 5: Time in a little bit for dramatic. Effect, Obviously.
Speaker 4: Dan bourney got on THE pa and said here's your
number one ranked Fighting tigers AND, lsu and everyone lost their.
Speaker 5: MIND i, MEAN i can remember.
Speaker 4: The game where the guy that sits in this chair
At Jacob pester all the four dayaln conversions Against, florida
Dan burney's voice is echoing through that stadium as it.
ERUPTED i, MEAN i remember that same, Season Matt flynn
To Demitrius bird to Beat auburn with two seconds. Left
Like Dan bourney made all those calls like even in, Basketball,
like if you're not a big basketball, fan lsh's run
to The final four Under John, brady when they won
THE sec for the first time in forever Under Will,
wade it was Always Dan Bourney, like it's going to be,
different it's never going to be the. Same but when
you look back on, it appreciate the moments that we're.
There like WHEN i see WHEN i think OF lsu
And Tiger, STADIUM i think Of Dan. Bournett you remember
the poem that he put. Out it was The pantheon
Of concrete And, steel The cathedral of college. FOOTBALL i, mean,
hell they still play it on THE tv before a
lot of the home. Games you'll hear him do the starting,
line put the guys on the big. Screen you'll even
hear him say penalized instead of penalized a lot in the,
Stadium like it's all the little moments that you're going to,
miss and you just look back and you're, like, man
like thirty eight Years Dan bourne was the voice Of Tiger.
Stadium that that's a good round for. ANYBODY i don't
know who's going to take over For Dan. BOURNE i
DON'T i don't know what it's going to sound like
in the, future it's still going to be a great
atmosphere because It's Tiger, stadium because it's the best venue
in all of college, football because when you Have Death
Valley rocket at, night there's no other place like.
Speaker 5: It but it's never going to be the same Without Dan,
Bournet like whatever.
Speaker 4: Flowers and coverage he, gets Like Dan bourney Deserves he's
been a staple of that. Stadium like it got to,
where like you, know If dan sick or something like
that and would have to have a fill, In LIKE
i remember the first TIME i heard a fill in
For Dan. BOURNEY i was PROBABLY i don't, know, eleven
twelve years, old probably seventh. Grade he AND i didn't
even hear the name of THE. PA i didn't. CARE
i don't even care who it.
Speaker 5: Was it was, like this is Not Dan.
Speaker 4: Bourney something's, Missing it doesn't sound, Right like this is
gonna be a heck of an adjustment for a lot of,
people but like he deserves it more than, Anybody Like
Dan bourney has been the voice Of Tiger stadium for
my entire. Life most of you on there listens Like
paul's entire life Of launder's entire. Life the guy's done
it for thirty eight. Years i'm twenty eight years. Old

Game day with the addition OF T Bob?
Speaker 5: Aby, okay we love.

And mad and A londra accidentally played a live read
With tiboenner like we can't get him out of our
head here ON. OTV i just, no we we are not,
Big big Newon kickoff will not overtake college Game day like.
That that's that's not going to. HAPPEN i promise You
Big new first, Off big Newon kickoff is going to
be a lot More big Ten Central college Game day
is way more, nationwide and it's the guest pickers on
college Game. Day it's the, music it's the home, depot
hard hats that you, get it's intro and and outro
and through, commercials it's panning through the crowd like it's
it's everything on college Game.
Speaker 5: Day it's not just a host of.
Speaker 4: DAY i know a lot of, people like there are
a lot of people that really do not Like pat
McAfee on college Game. DAY i think McAfee actually does
a really good job on college Game. Day, like you,
know we had talked About Lee corso a while back
announcing he's stepping away Like Ohio State texas is going
to be his last game a few years. Ago let's
talk about this with my dad because like me and
him Watch College Game day Every saturday WHEN i was growing.
Up it's one of THE i fell in love with college.
Football we're talking, like, man you, know like of, course
so like it's like he's about to hang it, out
like you, know there's there's not a ton of years
left that he's gonna be able to do.
Speaker 5: This who can do?
Speaker 4: It and like one of the first NAMES i threw
out there Was pat McAfee's Entertaining you got a heck
of a. Podcast Like pat McAfee's a guy out, there
AND i know a lot of people don't like. HIM
i think he brings a lot of energy to that.
Show like him And saban together could not be more
different personality, wise BUT i think they work so well.
Together you can actually tell they they get. Along they
gotta say right next to each other on the. Desk
and then he Got, herbstreet who's as locked in as anybody.
Else Rhyse davis is a great. Host you Have Desmond,
howard a Former heisman. Winner like everything on that show
fits so perfectly together in my. Opinion like, again everybody's,
like oh McAfee's too. Silly you need a little bit
of that without McAfee of, course so hanging it, up
like the show's way too buttoned. Up you need a
little bit of a mixture About saban's gonna give you
all the x's and O's kirby's gonna give you all
the behind the scene, stuff Desbenn hour's gonna give you
the the The heisman winning type player view of. Everything
and McAfee's there for entertainment, purposes LIKE i think it's
the perfect mix of. Everyone, No Big newton kickoff is
not going to Overtake Big new kickoff is not going
to overtake college Game. Day LIKE i promise You Big
new kickoffs at a Premiere big ten school and college Game.
Speaker 5: Day wants to come.
Speaker 4: In they're Booting Big neon kickoff like there's there's no question.

Speaker 3: All it's all.
Speaker 5: Scripted you have to do this in this.
Speaker 4: Moment it's like it's, fine but to, me it kind

ades you Do road To glory straight into college kind of,
boring and then Like dynasty was, okay and that's really
