Speaker 1: I'll start to yo that presents Off the Bench with
Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's grove from a championship backfield to your morning drive Hansday,
Hester and Hester got it FA your logs in to
Off the Bench brought control for the live from downtown
Baton Rouge. Here's Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 3: Yo, and welcome in to otb here on this Thursday morning.
Speaker 2: You heard Tata.
Speaker 3: We are live at Pro Dreams yet again. Every single
home game on Thursdays during the football season. I always
remember you can go to them online pro dash Dreams
dot Com. Jakean Flynn here, Alandra and Taty back in studio.
Speaker 2: How are we doing, sir oh Man? We are doing good.
Excited to be back here Thursday home game Pro Dreams.
Speaker 4: Just sitting in the midst of.
Speaker 2: Amazing memorabilia, jerseys, helmets, pictures, whatever it is they got
it here, They certainly just about it. I'm still looking
at that Zach Morris tank top over there. If it
keeps staring at me long enough, I might walk out
of here with it one day. I think you just
wear it throughout a show.
Speaker 4: One day, Okay. I bet you want bet.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, So you also heard Tata there.
Speaker 3: We'll get to the Gary Nessmeyer going to likely play
in this game against Southeastern. I know something you and
I talked a lot about yesterday on multiple shows. We
talked about that Thursday Night football is nine great Bill's Dolphins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Dolphins could come back. You never know.
Speaker 2: We get to another opportunity to see the best quarterback
in the NFL playing my loa.
Speaker 4: Yeah remember that thought we made in.
Speaker 2: The National Championship when it came in off the bench.
Speaker 4: That's true, That's very true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of just seems like every all the
socials and the messaging and the videos coming out of
Miami right now is a little cringe worthy. But look,
there's still NFL professional football players and still can go
out there and have a heck of a game. So
you never really know. None of the primetime games up
to this point this year have disappointed, so could min.
We hope this is going to but it's also fair.
It's just a fact. Yeah, it's not going to be great.
The Bills are good, the Dolphins are pooh yeah, but
they still they still have a puncher's chance, you know, Tyreek,
I was watching some clips of Tyreek actually running some
routes and he still got it. He's still really fast
and he's still getting open. They hadn't gotten the ball yet. Yeah,
it's an issue. It is an issue, and it might
be to his brain.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know what it is. Too
many bruises on it.
Speaker 2: What I mean. I should have asked Doc that yesterday.
I had it in my head. We just started talking
about some other stuff. You also have some bruises on
your brain.
Speaker 4: No, I don't have any bruises on my brain.
Speaker 2: I was never diagnosed, Like I said, you got some
of those a lot of undiagnosed concussions apparently. But I
did want to ask him about the because two has
been in the news a little bit because of the
disaster that's happening over there. But look, we're two weeks
into the season. You never know what's gonna happen, you know.
They it's like them and the Bears around Everybody thinks
it's like everything's burning down in their facility, which it
could be.
Speaker 4: But on an NFL football.
Speaker 2: Team, let's give them a little bit of benefit of
the doubt. Two weeks into the season, I'm hoping that
the Dolphins play well to just to make the primetime
game a little bit interesting. I was shut it in
my bed at ten fifteen a night, still locked into
the end of the game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you might.
Speaker 3: Be watching Rice and Charlotte on field tonight.
Speaker 4: Nahou I don't think so.
Speaker 3: The OL's that's yeah, we've had a whole segment about ols.
Speaker 4: They carried us spilled over to a couple other segments too.
Speaker 3: Yeah I did, he did, So let's don't do that
because I know how your brain works. Bruised and all.
It did come out yesterday and Ta mentioned it. They're
in the lead up to the show that Garret ness
Meyer is going to play on Saturday. Brian Kelly said,
I think he needs to play. Garrett wants to play.
He's capable of playing, So.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he needs to play. I'm sure
he wants to. What do you think, well, I mean,
every player wants to play, needs a strong statement. It's
got a lot of experience. So he mentioned dialing it
back kind.
Speaker 3: Of at practice and dial back a little bit. Maybe
you know what he's doing out there, So trying to
protect him maybe during the week and try to get
some maybe rest there's so certainly you know something you
can try to do. He also mentioned he's now on
the other side of it because we were able to
protect him. So this week is an opportunity for him.
He's doing some things at practice that he hasn't been
able to do in the last month. We are pretty
excited about what he can do this weekend. So you know,
when you get quotes like that, it does sound bank
he is progressing and whatever Torso injury that he has
is getting better right now and they feel like he
is ready to go.
Speaker 2: And when when b K says he needs to go,
what does that say to you? It says to me
that the offense needs to get into a rhythm. Yeah,
and they need to go out there and execute against
a somebody with a different color jersey on, different color
helmet on, and just getting a little bit more of
a rhythm. Or it says that if he was a
young player, a new player saying that he needs to
get more game experiencing, get a little bit better, which
isn't the case.
Speaker 4: So uh yeah, it's basically he's telling.
Speaker 2: Us that they need to go out there and rip
it a little bit in a game situation. Instead of
just doing it in practice.
Speaker 3: Now, would this be a situation where, Okay, we know
the opponent, we know we're going to have a lot
of opportunities in this game, and some of those things
that you haven't done in the first three games, let's
see if we can get them done. Like, hey, we
got it at some point. See how far we can
push this deal?
Speaker 4: And what are you talking about?
Speaker 2: How far you can push it, like physically push.
Speaker 4: It all down the fields?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, you can figure that out in practice.
Speaker 4: You don't need a game to do that.
Speaker 3: You do have a different adrenaline in a game than
you do out in the Ponderosa.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I certainly do. But you don't have a
lot of a journaling against Southeastern dang tat that's for graduatd
That's fine, That's okay. I love Southeastern, I really do.
I'm a big fan, very hydrated. Love the people over there.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 2: It's just we're talking about l s U right now,
and we're talking about the quarterback with a tourist of
injury that we personally know nothing about. We don't know
the significance of it at all. But like the word
need to go out there. I don't agree with, but
it's not up to me to agree. I'm not the
one in the building. I'm not the not the catch.
Speaker 3: Look, brain, Kelly's been doing this long enough that it
and he's hopefully you know, talking with the trainers and
they're saying, Okay, well, here's the deal, here's the plan,
here's here's here's.
Speaker 4: What it could be. Yep.
Speaker 3: And he has all the information right there, and if
he knows like what it could be and he still
decides to play, I think saying needing is not so
much from a physical standpoint. We need to go see
how far we could push the ball.
Speaker 2: It's basically it's kind of like the old Game three
of the preseason, like we need to our offense is
not where it needs to be, probably because of this
Torso injury. Now that we're on the other side of
this thing, now that we're feeling a lot better, let's
go out there and try to get our get our
offense tuned up a little bit. This is like it
kind of a tune up game. You go out there
and you want what did a coach want to see
in the old the old I don't need It's a
Game two of the preseason now where they play the start,
I don't know the whole schedule. So that's why I'm
going to revert back to when we played back.
Speaker 4: In our day.
Speaker 2: Cete O TV. Here we go game three of the preseason.
It's like, oh, you're going to go play a full half.
Starters are gonna because this is a tune up game.
This is our get ready game. And you go out there,
you try to get in a rhythm. You try to
move the ball, get the right down and distance down schedule,
push the ball a little bit down the field. So
that's what this kind of feels like. We need to
get into a rhythm, is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 3: Tiger Dog Inside to buy You for a Chat asked
this question, Flynn, would you sit or play this week
in with a bigger game next week? We talked about
this early in the week US situation where you had
a bad.
Speaker 4: Ankle spring even a fracture.
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, and you sat out against Middle
Tennessee State.
Speaker 4: I don't know who we had the next weekend. I
don't know. I don't remember the U seven schedule that well,
but you did sit out a game. Yeah, I didn't
want to look it up.
Speaker 2: If I if I was Garrett Smart, oh my god, yeah, like,
let me go out and play. It hurts me to
not being in practice. It hurts me. Well, it hurt
me in Middle Tennessee to go out there and see
my offensive line, my running backs, my receivers. Having somebody
else call the play in the huddle and taking the snap, well, it.
Speaker 4: Makes you feel better sometimes I was having to call
the play in the huddle.
Speaker 2: You feel any Yeah, it kind of kind of does, actually,
but it's not up to the player whether you want
to play or not. It's not up to the starting
quarterback if you're you know, we had South Carolina at
home the next week. Yeah, Now it was like I
couldn't like walk, but so that was a thing. Yeah,
but I was like, yeah, numbing up, let's go, let's play.
Speaker 4: I don't care who we're playing.
Speaker 2: But it's not up to That's why things like that
aren't really up to the player, because it's the cause
your job to protect it from himself. But anyway, we're
not saying that Brian Kelly should do this or should
do that. We're just giving our opinion based on a
low amount of information that we have and what we're guessing,
and all we know is that we're playing southeastern and
we know that based on reading the tea leaves that
the offense has been a little different. But if he
truly is on the other side of this thing and
it is better and they can do in there is
no risk of going and straining or hurting something more.
We don't know if it's a rib. We don't know,
if it's an ap, We don't know if it's he
heard a Sternham. Who knows, Yeah, who knows what the
heck's happening.
Speaker 4: Doc said, well, yeah, you know, it could be anywhere
from under the chin to.
Speaker 3: Right above the pelvis. Oh okay, so small target, yep,
So we don't know. They might have got hitting the
jewels one inside the Boy four Chat Game four is
our tune up game, good grief. Well, you can tune
up for the SEC portion of your schedule. I know
you've played an SEC game, but now you're taking a
break out of conference, and so yeah, you can absolutely
kind of do that and you can deliver slow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially if like you haven't.
Speaker 2: If this isn't what we're playing a lot of hypotheticals here,
and if the offense has been a little bit subdued
to this point because of an injury. We don't know
that it has, but reading the tea leaves connecting the
dots with what we did a little bit earlier in
the week with you know, the different pass attempts behind
a line of scrimmage, how many pass attempts very short
if you're starting to unleash your whole offense because he
is over the hurdle with this torus injury and he
can start pushing it down the field. Yeah, it can
be a tune up game, absolutely, and your offense has
not performed up to its standards. So when Brian Kelly
says he needs to play, that tells me that he
needs to go out there because we got to get
this thing rolling.
Speaker 4: And how do you do that? You tune it up?
Speaker 3: Moonfish inside the Bayou Ford, Chad, this needs to be
a two hundred plus yard rushing game in my opinion,
established rhythm with the passing game, but limit shots on
him and don't let the linemen pin their ears.
Speaker 2: Back Southeastern Lynmon Yes, Olympic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, olymp Like we talked about in the run game yesterday,
It's it's not right now. A physical problem.
Speaker 3: I think some different things have had to happen now
that we kind of know what's going on with your quarterback.
And so if he's better, as Brian Kelly mentioned, progressing,
you know, better than he was a week ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd like to see some different stuff in the
run game too. Yeah. We got to established throwing game.
Speaker 2: You got to be able to set the edge, you
got to be able to move your man, especially this week,
and sorry, just just execute it, run it. Yeah, I'd
like to see him run every single play, Moonfish.
Speaker 4: I like this one too.
Speaker 3: Are the improvements you guys want to see on the
defense before SEC play?
Speaker 4: Or? Is it perfect? I like that one. Not perfect,
it's gosh.
Speaker 3: I mean, nothing's perfect as we know, but my god,
it is close to football erotica when you watch LSU's defense.
The coverage has been incredible, the pressure has been incredible.
The tackling more than anything. Maybe that I'm most excited about.
And Flynn mentioned it yesterday. Even if the first guy
doesn't get him on the ground, which oftentimes they do,
there's like two or three people coming with bad.
Speaker 4: Intentions to clean it up. Yep, we didn't see that
for a long time.
Speaker 3: How many times did you see a safety the last
two years, just missed kind of right there in the alley,
and then all of a sudden, the other player's going sixty,
player's going forty, hitting his head on the goal post
because nobody else.
Speaker 4: Listen to the alley. Guys taking bad.
Speaker 2: Angles because they're not running full speed, Guys getting getting
blocked for a second, and then kind of giving up
and not fighting to the end, which is something that
is foreign to LSU Tigers. So we're so back, baby,
We're so back. Yeah, no notes, no notes on the defense,
no notes until they forced us to make some notes.
And I don't really see that happening. You must got
too much leadership, too much talent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the mentalities like if you don't think it's there,
you didn't watch last week. And what I mean by
that is when you had your captain go out in
what weeks, then you had West Weeks go out in
the game, and everybody that you continue to bring into
the game right there in the middle of your defense,
continue to play with the same attitude, the same mentality,
and at the same level. Like your green dot guy
that here's the coach in his headset goes out, the
next guy that's wearing the green dot goes out, and
you just continue to find a way and then all
of a sudden you got a third Week's brother in
there at the end of the game. But like you
never missed the beat. It's not because those players that
went out aren't good. They're starting for a reason. What
Weeks one of the best players in the country, yep.
But because the mentality and everybody bought into the same thing,
the same philosophy of what we're going to be, not what.
Speaker 2: We'd like to be, then that's what happens. Yeah, I
mean you had you probably had. You were able to
keep up that play, even though Lewis the equipment had
had to probably run into the locker room and get
the sheet of green stickers to go put it on
somebody else's helmet because that guy did not his helmet
was not equipped with a speaker inside of it. They
had to put a speaker in there. They had to
run and get the sheet of sheet of standard green
circle stickers and put it on the of his helmet.
Speaker 3: Actually, i'd like to I'm gonna try to find that
information out, But how did that grow here?
Speaker 4: Exactly?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna find out how that actually all went down.
So yeah, no notes right now on the defense, And
again I would say that the way they played in
the fourth quarter against Louisiana Tech still makes me believe
that they're going to play in the fourth quarter like
that regardless of who's in against Southeastern, and that's going
to be something that is going to continue to make
me very happy about how this LSU defense is playing.
West Week's injury status right now, I believe on the
broadcast it was a cash strain. Gordy reported that after
he came out of the tenth There, again, you have
some big ones. You got some big boys coming up,
and that position group has shown that guys can step up,
and so I don't know the status, but I'd be surprised,
I mean, just knowing what you have coming up and
what Wes Weeks is meant to you.
Speaker 4: So it's pretty pretty specific big injury there.
Speaker 2: Garrett has a torso, but we got the we got
the specific muscle, calf muscle.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should just be a lower extremity.
Speaker 3: So Gordo is on the case during the broadcast, Oh yeah,
we got it in and out of the tent.
Speaker 4: Gordy got it in the tent.
Speaker 2: Uh well, West West kept going in the tent about
Gordy popping his head in there.
Speaker 4: Probably why not? What check guy going on in here?
We do?
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take our first break. More O t
B when we come back again. We are live here at.
Speaker 3: Pro Dreams right off of Burbank in the O G

see some Taysom Hill.
Speaker 3: Uh, Ricky Williams in a wedding dress with Mike Dicka
right behind you.
Speaker 4: Hmmm.
Speaker 2: We were talking about this the other day in our
you know, in our sports card endeavors. Not that many
valuable Saints cards out there except for Drew Brees that
we've seen.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We're sitting there in the break and we're like, okay,
and this is the ceiling.
Speaker 4: So it's a big one. New Orleans Saints, Oh so true,
carry the two.
Speaker 2: It's gotta be drewe It's okay.
Speaker 4: We have we have not even a rookie.
Speaker 3: We have many more players that are near and dear
in our New Orleans Saints hearts from growing up Craig
Ironhead Hayward being a personal favorite. Sure, who could forget
about the Cajun Cannon?
Speaker 4: Not us, not us. We're not going to do that.
Speaker 3: The Saints hope they got the next k Agent Cannon
and Spencer Rattler, and some good things were said. Yeah,
good things, very good, said Sala, former nflad coach, now
back with the forty nine ers as a defensive coordinator.
You know, mentioned that he believes at Spencer Ratler will
be a household name by the end of the year.
Speaker 4: Let's see.
Speaker 2: He sure did high praise. I mean coming from a
guy that was a you know, a very recently a
head coach in the NFL. Only thirty two of those
teams in the whole world, Yeah, the greatest thirty two
of the greatest teams in the world. Certainly they weren't good,
but still an NFL team and had head coach, defensive coordinator.
Speaker 4: Been in the league a long time, he was in
Seattle when I was there. Great dude, but had high praise.
Speaker 2: Has seen a lot of really good quarterbacks, has played
against a lot of really good quarterbacks, has game planned
against them, yeah, and for him to kind of come out,
I don't even know if he was prompted on the
question or not, but yes, said Spencer Ratler would be
a household name because of how twitchy he is as
an athlete, how competitive he was, how accurate he was,
and decisive he was. And that's one thing about that
I've seen from Spencer Ratler up to this point. Is
very decisive with the ball, whether you like it or not.
Like where he's going with it on a down and distance.
He's taking what the defense has given him, and he's
decisive with it. And he is confident in his reads
and a confident player.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: I mean, go back and watch that clip of I
think he scrambled out and got a first down. He
broke like he took a didn't slide, took a took
a shot head on and broke like two or three
tackles right there, spun out and got a first down.
One of those plays that will endear you to the
rest of your team for sure, and make even guys
like Caesar Ruiz play a little bit way.
Speaker 3: Hold up, No, let's hold up crazy here. Look, I mean, look,
we haven't gone for nose yet. I don't think we
need to start talking about Caesar Ruiz. Okay, it's only
seven to twenty six in the morning.
Speaker 4: That's a good point. I bet that's on me. Guys.
Forget like, let's clip that we.
Speaker 2: Only talk about Caesar if we're giving his failing grade. Sure,
but three of those ten players were good true.
Speaker 4: Okay, true, yeah, wrong sports for that to be a
good deal. But yes, this baseball being in the Hall
of Fame. Yeah, but yeah. So we talked about like
the quarterback. We didn't feel was going to be the issue. Yeah,
and you were all over that.
Speaker 3: I mean, gosh, before the preseason you said that if
the Saints are bad, which right now they'rezero to two,
you say, it is not gonna be a quarterback issue.
Speaker 4: And it hasn't been. That has not been the reason
they've lost these games.
Speaker 2: Now, he still has to win a game, whether it's
his fall, whether it's not as fall. It doesn't really
matter at the quarterback position because right or wrong, you're
gonna get way too much praise and you're gonna get
way too much criticism no matter how the team is.
That's why football is such a beautiful and the greatest
team sport. Out there because it takes everybody, but he does.
He's gonna if he's got to put a team on
his back and win it himself and make a.
Speaker 4: Play, he'll have to do that.
Speaker 2: But wins and losses is at the end of the day,
the only thing that really really matters. But you have
to kind of take everything at face value. We know
where we're at with the Saints, we know what we're
doing with a brand new head coach and kind of
the top the top down roster. But it is getting noticed,
and I believe just look at other socials, it is
starting his game.
Speaker 4: His play is getting noticed as okay.
Speaker 2: Pretty good. I don't even know what the list was.
It was a QBR something. He's ninth in the NFL
up to this point. We did we looked at the
stats of the day. He was like the middle of
the pack, pretty good on one of the stats.
Speaker 3: Almost every single category, like he's at least eighteenth or better.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: And so he's playing well. Now, you got to win
football games at the end of the day as a quarterback,
but a lot to be hopeful for. And it is
getting noticed by former head coaches, and I'm sure it's
getting if it's getting noticed by Robert Sala, it's getting.
Speaker 4: Noticed by everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big even the coordinator, he's just the one.
He's just the first person to say it out loud.
Played him and look, the sample size is there. But
the things that Spencer Ratler is doing well is not
fluky things Like he doesn't go out and scramble and
throw across his body and make like these big, huge
plays that were big flashy plays.
Speaker 4: That is not a sustainable thing what he's doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's only really, honestly, there's only one guy that
should be doing that.
Speaker 4: There's just multiple that are trying to do that right
in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Sure, and it's getting them in trouble actually, so you
should actually be happy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you look at like like Anthony Richardson last year,
Like so last year he comes out and he throws
that one, like the eighty five yard pass in the
air touched down. That's a flashy thing. Everyone's like, oh
my god, this guy's gonna be great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had you thinking who but then you thought
about it afterwards and you're like, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Exactly, So that's what I'm talking about. So young quarterbacks
can go out there and make these crazy plays like
that and you're like.
Speaker 4: Oh, wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams last year he made all these incredible plays,
but then at the end of the day, he wasn't
working the offense. Spencer Rattler is operating the offense efficiently
the way it's supposed to be. You work it, and
then the flashy plays, the big plays will come off
of that you don't have to force He's not having
to force it. So what I'm seeing from his game
is the consistent gameplay will continue because of his discipline
and willingness to take your checkdowns and be decisive with
his decision making and be accurate with his throws, the
short to intermediate throws, and then his ability to escape
and create and avoid disaster plays. That is a really
good recipe for continuing to play well. And then the
big plays are going to come, the moments are going
to shine, the flash plays they will come. But I
think that there's not going to be a regression type deal.
It's not fluky that how he's played up to this point. No,
I don't think so at all.
Speaker 3: And he look, he needs some guys to step up too,
and you can say, well, yeah, the past needs to
be here. To Matt's point on Monday, it wasn't perfect,
But there's ninety guys, it feels like. But truly there's
thirty one other guys that you feel like, can go
make that play right if you're running a post and
it's a little bit on your back hip or if
you're Juwan Johnson and I'm not saying that's an easy catch,
but you're a pass catching tight end. You're certainly not
in there for your blocking. So you got to go
help your quarterback out. Go make those plays. Those are
a couple of plays that if you help him out,
you go make them, you might be at worse.
Speaker 2: One in one, that throw to Rattler's throw to alve
was behind back hip for a touchdown. That's one where
both of y'all look at each other and y'all both
have jes yeah, that's on me, and then obviously know
it's on me. I should have had it right. That's
that type of thing. It's just it's so tough, Matt.
Speaker 3: You when you watch a game and you watch like
Myleiku neighbors and what he does against the Cowboys last week.
Guy hand over his face, pulling his head to the
side he can't even really see, and he makes a
catch for forty five yard touchdown whatever it might be.
And I'm not just you know, saying the leak because
you know, obviously being an LSU guy. But there's multiple
examples like Ceedee Lamb and you know, Brown and Chase
and all these like they go and they make that play,
and the Saints need somebody to make.
Speaker 2: That play right now, with the roster deficiencies you have,
you have to you have to steal games and you
have to make play like you have to make those
type of plays like the the above average, like really
good man love that was a great catch man, way
to way to go many pat on the back way
to help your quarterback out a little bit.
Speaker 3: You got to those are those are like those are
plays that if you make them again, I think you
have at least one win and you're trying to get
one on the road against the Seattle Seahall. We'll break
down that game when we come back here on OTV.
Speaker 2: Off the bench, all right, go to trash rangers dot com.

Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back in It is OTV again. We
are live on location here at pro Dreams pro dash
dreams dot com. Before we break down, the Saints and
Seahawks want to remind you about our friends over at
Campus Federal.
Speaker 4: Campus Federal dot org is the website.
Speaker 3: Once you go there, remember you could open an account

with them at the bottom right corner of it.

all right. The New Orleans Saints are seven and a
half point dogs right now, so the Seattle Seahawks, and
this game is going to be on the road.
Speaker 4: And I actually don't know what I expected there. The
Seahawks shocking.
Speaker 3: The Seahawks beat the Steelers last week they lost to
the forty nine Ers in Week number one. The forty
nine Ers made a late comeback in that game, but
they did look good last week against the Steelers, and
maybe some of our judgment got clouded a little bit
for the Steelers because they went.
Speaker 4: Out there and the way they played against the Jets.
Speaker 3: Maybe the Jets aren't good either, But it was a
nice victory for the Seahawks. Sam Darnold did throw two interceptions,
but he also threw for almost three hundred yards.
Speaker 4: He threw for two scores.
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker, the third, ran for one hundred and five
yards on only thirteen carries. Now, Zach Charbonnday had fifteen
carries for ten yards. That's zero point seven yards per
carry for those keeping score at home, but still Kenneth
Walker was able to have a big day. His longest
run was only twenty yards and still had one hundred
and five on just thirteen carries. So a little bit
of a mixed bag for the Seattle Seahawks here in
the first two weeks. But it's a big number. It
is a big number.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was watching that game because I've been watching a
lot of the noon games because we got little we
have little flight football Priditts in the afternoon, so I'm
locked into the noon game. So I've watched the Steelers
played the first two weeks, and so it was the
Steelers Seahawks this past weekend. And I just don't think
the Steelers are very good on defense, honestly. I mean,
justin Fields like played the game of his career. He
looked like he was back into Ohio State, you know
what I mean. Against this Pittsburgh defense did not look
very good. So I think it's easy to get, especially
from a Vegas standpoint, easy to get really high on
the Seahawks right now. They probably got unlucky to lose
that first game against the Niners of Brock Purty scrambles
out throws just like a jump ball on the end
Zone's about like it's going right towards the defender and
a guy makes an incredible play for Brock Perdy to
win that game. But yeah, it's uh, I think they're
probably pretty good. And Sam Donald, you think Minnesota's thinking
about little Little Seller's remorse.
Speaker 4: On that one.
Speaker 2: On the Sam Donald played so well last last year
for Anesota Vikings, got that big contract from Seattle. I
don't think Minnesota even tried to sign and they're like,
all right, is JJ McCarthy or bus now? And I
think they're starting to realize that. I think I'm saying
that was a pretty good little quarterback in the NFL,
So he's uh, now, Seattle, I don't know. You know,
I still kind of root against Seattle, So why for
no reason? I mean, like, why would you do that?
They're actually good to me, you know what I mean?
But you know I still root against them just from
the competitive side. Yeah, but yeah, seven and a half
is big numbers for the NFL. Seattle is a tough
place to play. It is very loud in that stadium.
I don't know if it's as loud as it used
to be. Back when I was there and playing against
them in that stadium, it was loud loud. Now I
think a lot of it was artificial, a lot of
crowd noise being pumped into that stadium, I think, but
it was still an intimidating place to play.
Speaker 4: So we'll see. It's like two games in.
Speaker 2: Nobody really knows what any of these teams are except
for like the for sure top dogs in the league.
Right now, we know the really really good ones. But
I think it's still remains to be seeing on who
the bad, bad bad ones are.
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna see one of those tonight, but.
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see, all right. Uh So, look, seven
and a half is a big number. I'm gonna stay
on the Saints train. I'm gonna say they're gonna get
it figured out. They're gonna make one of those plays
that we've been talking about. Alave is gonna be happy
and he's not gonna look like he's concussed out there,
and he's gonna make some big time plays this week.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say that, all right.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep saying they're gonna win until they win,
until they win, and they'm gonna be like I told y'all,
told y'all, they were gonna win this one.
Speaker 4: It's the playbook.
Speaker 3: You also, Okay, incredibility here too, you know, oh yeah, yeah,
you gotta have that now. But I'm going jay journalists
over here, Okay. Trevor Pinning is questionable. Uh, Chase Young
is questionable, Trey Palmer questionable.
Speaker 2: Uh So you're still dealing with some injuries there.
Speaker 3: You'd love to see Trevor Pinning back, Uh, to try
to solidify anything that they can solidify with the interior
of the offensive front.
Speaker 2: Because you know, Caesar's not going to what are you
talking about that? It's it's it's so good of a morning.
We should we whisper it from now on, Caesar, you can't.
You are not allowed on this show to say his
name at full volume voice. You have to whisper it, Okay, Caesar,
all right? Don't want to be a poser. Caesar poser?
Speaker 4: What a word?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: About that?
Speaker 2: Let's bring it back first one of the days. What
a great word it is?
Speaker 4: Now? Uh. We used to use it a lot in
middle school.
Speaker 2: I think it came to fruition and popularity for from
the skating community, was it? I think skating and we
were talking about bladant like bladan alright, you remember, uh,
like middle school, you'd wear the what were the what
were the shoes called the head the wheel on Hey's Heely's.
You have the heelis or you have the grinders like
it was the uh had the I had like the
little arch in the middle of it that was like
fiberglass and you could like grind like you were on skates.
Speaker 4: You remember those we had a we had a right tackle.
I'm not gonna say his name. You can look it up.
You're going to in San Diego.
Speaker 3: And he was notorious for any dynamic edge rusher that
we played against.
Speaker 4: He taped his hip. I'm going down.
Speaker 3: I'm like, so you canna leave me on Tom Bodley,
You're gonna leave me on Terrell Suggs and past protections
like you're going down Like that's and notorious. Like if
it was like if you know, like yeah, he could
kind of make a case that he needed to squeeze whatever.
Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, come on, bruh, like you did not.
And so one time.
Speaker 3: One time I got really mad and went over to him.
I'm like, hey, I didn't know he may makee cleats.
He's like, what do you mean. I go, well, your
clices don't have wheels on the bottom of him, because
I swear.
Speaker 4: To god, the guy just pushed you right back into me.
Speaker 2: I was just wondering, how did you get that sponsorship deal?
Speaker 4: He got so mad. I was like, dude, were winning
the game by like three touchdowns, like check out. So
that's how I know what heales are? All right?
Speaker 2: And the huddle never fails. You remember these soaps shoes
They had the little arc and the do you remember this?
You can like grind on like a bench or something
like a park bench. Oh dude, gnarly.
Speaker 3: Okay, On that note with him saying gnarly, we'll go
ahead and uh, we'll take a break before what a
before he starts bringing out any more of these terms.
More to be when we come back off the bench

a good time yesterday afternoon chopping it up with you.
Went off campus with Jimbo fish Eye. Yeah, we did.
Speaker 4: Like Jimbo. So typically on Tuesdays, Jimbo's co host with
me and EJ.
Speaker 3: He had to move days to Wednesday because he's working
for the ACC Network now so he's doing like profiles
and different things, and so he had one of those
on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: But this man's.
Speaker 3: Football memory. So we were talking. He was talking about
I don't even know how he got. There's like conference
games and you got to treat your opponent this, that
and the other. He's like, you know, even when we
played Kentucky in two thousand and six, you remember that, Jake.
I was like, no, what He's like, yeah, you scored
two touchdowns on forty eight hornballs.
Speaker 2: And he's like, Matt, he had this, that and the other.
Speaker 3: I was like, Matt, you know sie He goes, yeah,
he came in through two touchdowns and he knew the
play from a random ass Kentucky game in two thousand
and six we won forty nine to nothing. Okay, he
knew the play that you threw two touchdowns as the
backup quarterback that day.
Speaker 4: Yep, And he said it.
Speaker 2: When I got on, he was do you remember you
remember your stats from that game? I'm like, nah, dude,
I don't even remember I played that game.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Six, Like you're talking about the fourth quarter when we're
up to thirty five nothing.
Speaker 3: I think you said you threw a touchdown a bow though,
No big deal. Yeah score two tuds that game you
threw too. Not that big of a deal between us.
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, he's uh yeah, he's a good position
to the show. I bet he is.
Speaker 2: It's uh Now, I can imagine how three people would
be tough doing an interview, chopping it up like that.
Speaker 4: Well, how's the rotation go? It's you.
Speaker 2: Well, we treated you a little bit different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we double breaked and we just had a thirty
minute slot because we knew were like, this is gonna
be some random comments. It's gonna be squirrel. Yeah, you know,
so we blocked off thirty but yeah, typically just go
down to order. Yeah, and then Jimbo goes out of order,
no doubt like jim but I got to get in there.
We had John Summrall on the two lane head coach
and fantastic by the way, one of my favorite interviews
every single time.
Speaker 4: And it was gonna go. It was going to go
me and then Jimbo and then he Jay and I
would go.
Speaker 3: Jimbo would go, and then Jimbo would go again, and
then EJ would go, and then Jimbo would go again.
Speaker 2: At a certain point, it was just a conversation between
him and Jimbo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was. But they got they got a big one.
They got a biggie Tulane traveling to Old Miss, excited
about that. Julane's already taken down a school out of
the ACC, a school out of the Big ten. It'd
beat a you know, good Sun Belt team. They add
sec to the resume. They could lose an American game,
win that championship and being the Cause Football Playoff. They've
played Old Miss tough before. They played like Jackson dart
Old missed very tough before two lane teams.
Speaker 4: Good man, yep, and we WoT the score.
Speaker 3: For you last week either they they beat up on Duke.
Duke scored a garbage touchdown kind of late in the game.
Speaker 4: Yea.
Speaker 2: And can we just get how a basing a big
get an L s U two lane playoff game in
Tiger Stadium in Tiger Stadium be awesome. That means we
wouldn't get a buy though, Yeah no, but we get
a home game. I know that's pretty sweet.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I look that would that be a.
Speaker 2: Note for you?
Speaker 3: Text me, Hunt, I know it's not smart. I know,
we get it's an extra game. Fine, we're meatheads. Okay,
we want to see a playoff game in depth. But
think about the economy. Think about the economy.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you even love Baton Rouge?
Speaker 4: Yeah? You love the restaurants at hotels?
Speaker 2: Yeah, people asking the question, Yeah, people have people talking Hunt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd love them. I love them.
Speaker 3: It would be so oh my god, it'd be electric.
And if it was if it was them, you know,
an old rival they bring people.
Speaker 2: To They tough to get a parking past. Probably though
it's all you ever worry about is a parking pass.
Speaker 3: If this man is going to a game, he's he's
only asking questions about parking pass.
Speaker 4: I do not like to.
Speaker 2: One of the few things that stresses me out in
life is having to fight for parking spots.
Speaker 4: Don't like it.
Speaker 2: So it's sometimes it's a deciding factor whether I'm going
to a game or.
Speaker 4: It's one thousand percent. I have heard you say you're
not going, because yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2: It's not just sometimes. It's an every time. If I
don't have a parking bess, I'm not going and it
is not. Yeah, maybe that's spoiled.
Speaker 4: Not to make care. I'm finally you're spoiled. Come on, cobble,
you're a poser.
Speaker 2: Someone in the chat actually said that they were using
the word poser in the eighties. Really, that's sharking to me.
I thought it was nineties. Well, I mean it was popular.
Maybe it's just a middle soo. Maybe everyone says it
in middle school. Maybe so you poser.
