glad those shirts didn't have to get sent off to like,
you know, third world country or you know, kind of
like the losing team Super Bowl shirts.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 5: They have to get sent to, you know, to help children,
which is a great thing. You know, this is a
great thing. But I'm glad we can keep them and
they can still wear them. Yeah, would asume they're gonna
wear them all there? Anything like us that will be
in some plastic bins in the attic in about twenty years. Yeah,
how you're.
Speaker 3: At like my addicts full of just like old chain
Gang shirts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just like the elastic is all like Scouting player

purple football there's a classic athletic and the gold Jimbo
Fisher Mott turtle short.
Speaker 3: Sleeves with the eye of the tiger on them. You
do not still have those.
Speaker 5: I have a couple them, but like so, it's one
of those things where that's if you didn't have a
shirt and tie, they would give you that shirt to
wear under your suit.
Speaker 3: I guess everybody's got a little horder in them where
you like.
Speaker 5: With a d everybody you like keep stuff. It's hard
to throw things away that means something to you. Yeah,
and just got to the point where I can do it. Yeah,
I've gotten to like every year a little a little
bit more stuff. But then with kids, it's like, man,
what are they gonna like, are they gonna want some
of the stuff?
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not, probably not. They're gonna put it in their.
Speaker 5: Attic and like look at it, like me, like once
every ten years.
Speaker 3: Grandpa used to be okay at football. Yeah, here's his
crusty shorts from forty years.
Speaker 4: Here's a shirt and that said chain game because they
used to sign a chain after every performance.
Speaker 3: They signed a chain for some reason. I don't even
know what that means. Oh god, it meant something back then, though,
damn right it did. It absolutely did. Elandra, how we.
Speaker 6: Feeling feeling great? That game last night was really funny?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. You know who's not one to know
Bill Belichick tough.
Speaker 4: Look, never gave up forty eight points coaching the Patriots
first college game.
Speaker 3: Forty eight points.
Speaker 7: It's gonna give so much credence to the people that
like criticize him for his relationship.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh, he's gonna have a rough week. Yeah not Archman.
And again, like I hate that she's gonna have to
always he's going to be pretty bad.
Speaker 5: It's just a weird look, like watching Belichick in the
college game having to kind of pander a little bit,
like because he's recruiting. So I saw the the pregame
interview with him, like right before the game. I think
it was Holly Road doesn't give him interview, and it
was like, you can tell, like he's having to force
like a smile because he used to be such a
prick to the media, like famously didn't say anything to
the media if they asked him a dumb question. Well,
she asked him like the third like the last question
was like, so how about the short sleeve hoodie? Are
you something like you excited to wear that? And he
looked at it like you could tell he was like, well,
that's a dumb question, and like I got I want
to give her something here, and he just like smiled.
Speaker 3: He's like, well, it's kind of my thing.
Speaker 7: I was like, if you're Bill Belichick though, like I
feel like it's kind of like you you see is
what you get with Bill, Like everybody he knows who
he is already, So do you really have to pander?
Like I feel like, if you're a college kid, you
know who Bill Belichick is, and you know what.
Speaker 3: You're getting school kid, like, yeah, really, I.
Speaker 8: Guess so I guess he is. But these five stars
have had their ass kiss from the top football. You
don't kiss their ass. They ain't coming to you. That's
just how I look at it.
Speaker 5: So I you know, I spent three weeks with the Patriots,
and so I remember like one very vivid memory that
I have of I didn't want to get the coach
at her. Yeah, next man, that was not the thing
I wanted to do. So one really vivid memory I
have was sitting in a team meeting and Belichick walks
in there and he was like really funny, really like
he was dry, but like dry funny, Like I didn't
know what to expect personality wise. Anyway, I enjoyed, like
the team means just kind of here is like banter.
But he walks in and we had just started training
camp and we had just done like a conditioning test,
and it was like a media thing and so he's like,
all right, okay, so we're going to give away media
awards today. This is he gave. He gave away a
media award. He's like, who could say the least amount
to the media and he's like, all right, he's he
was like talking about different people. He's like, all right,
Legarrett Blunt, stand up. So you get the award today
for the greatest interaction with the media because that earlier
that we had just done a conditioning test. Yeah, the
question from the reporter was, Garrett, what was what was
involved in the What did the conditioning test involve?
Speaker 3: Garrett?
Speaker 5: Your answer was conditionings and he said he said, Garrett,
that effing amazing, incredible, well done, sir, and everyone platform like.
Speaker 3: Coached or but.
Speaker 5: And so like to see him like pandered to like
HOLLI rode question about a short sleeve hoodie's great?
Speaker 7: Well, and you texted the group yesterday and you were like,
who covers tonight?
Speaker 6: And I was like, my heart, says TCU.
Speaker 7: But also like I just feel obviously college and NFL
are different.
Speaker 6: None of us knew.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I said, I don't know enough about the teams
either teams to give you like an actual answer, but
something inside me saying TCU because to me, like Bill
Belichick hasn't coached in a while, college.
Speaker 6: Is obviously different from from the NFL, and maybe.
Speaker 7: He lost his fastball and also like, were the was
it Tom Brady or was it Bill Belichick thing going on?
And then you know Tom Brady, Tom Brady wins another
Super Bowl.
Speaker 6: So I don't know, I just I think it's.
Speaker 7: Going to be a very interesting storyline for the rest
of the season because you came out and got whooped
by TCU fourteen.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: The weirdest part about that they come out, get the ball,
drive it right down the field, punch it in the
looked really bad, and then they even looked good on
their first defensive drive they extended that they get a touchdown,
and then after that, I mean just blew the doors them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was an animal last night.
Speaker 8: How's a father son coach coordinator duo ever worked on
any level?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: I forgot his son was a cordinator I've ever worked.
Speaker 3: I don't try to think of like, actually happy you
got Shanahan. I don't know if they were.
Speaker 8: We should have got Jordan on the headset Lane and
Lane and Monty, which didn't work at Tennessee although it
was only what two years.
Speaker 3: I'd have to look up a list before a better answers.
Speaker 8: Just when I when I together Steve Belichicks's defensive coordinators
like single work.
Speaker 5: It was the coordinator of Washington last year. My gosh,
so he at least had coached.
Speaker 6: Twitter is cracking me up. They put a picture of
or they Ai Jordan's running a route on the field.
Speaker 3: And it's gonna be bad. Does not practice.
Speaker 4: It is going to be a very bad like So, look,
if you're a you know, if you're a Clemson fan,
maybe you know, maybe you can go still win the
A c C. Now Miami look good, state certainly.
Speaker 6: Look that's what the chat saying.
Speaker 8: That did that work?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Points, they scored points, They don't really win anything.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's a different situation.
Speaker 4: The show, though, this is not the show to break
down there.
Speaker 5: Looking at looking at a question on one of the
television shows right now, it says, is bell Belichick as
Bill Belichick's legacy tarnished if he continues to struggle at
un seeing And I think that's a ridiculous question.
Speaker 8: The ridiculous question, you know, But I will say this
to the younger generation, they're gonna have a different opinion
of him, probably because like nobody talks about Saban's failures
at Miami. But he came back and won after Belichick
ended New England not great, got fired there after two
losing seasons. He loses at North Carolina. Like people our
age will remember what he did at the Patriots. Maybe
the younger generations are like, this guy's kind of over it.
Speaker 5: And then also tom as y'all said, wouldn't want a
Super Bowl with just look back at it like they
went on a road where they went to eighth straight.
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.
Speaker 6: I mean it was definitely a fall from grace.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it happens.
Speaker 5: You stay in the limelight, it's it's gonna come out.
Speaker 6: Either die a hero or live long enough to see
yourself become the villain.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, good one. Where's that one from two Face
said that? Two Face said that, right, Yeah, Harvey.
Speaker 3: Ditt his discovernment. I still never like understood.
Speaker 5: Oh I was gonna talk about a scene right there,
but I could remember exactly what it was.
Speaker 3: But I'm pretty sure it's worth two Face. Like theys in.
Speaker 5: The hospital bed and the joker walks in with the
map the nursing mask on. It's like he takes it
off and then he realizes it's a joker when it's
clearly the joker with the mask on.
Speaker 7: Anyhow, and he didn't know itice until Yeah, I'll.
Speaker 4: Tell you what, just one and no feeling making fun
of other people feels great.
Speaker 3: It's really good.
Speaker 4: It feels so much rather than what it's been in
the past. Oh my god, that's a bad play. Look,
we got to turn these highlights off because these are
low lights and I can't concentrate McElroy.
Speaker 3: Greg, aren't you supposed to be on the radio with
col right now?
Speaker 6: This is your number one radio show?
Speaker 3: Wow? See the shirt off?
Speaker 6: I saw a video he was getting dry needled.
Speaker 3: Yeah during the show. Yeah, we got more than just that. Hey,
we got more than just that.
Speaker 4: Competition Uh our former yeah, Foxhoul member t Bob Aber
starts his morning show today competition Wake Up Barstool on
f S one airing right now. Got leftists and now
he's trying to be our competition.
Speaker 3: So that's again, like, guess what happened to the non compete?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 3: Like? Do we need to get that? Do we need
to get legal involved? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I feel like ESPN and Fox and everybody is having
like a battle of the frat bros, Like who could
have the most frat bro pandering show possible? Is it
Fox Sports with Barstool. ESPN just signed Taylor and what
is it busted with the Boys Will Compton And uh
so that's Pat.
Speaker 5: Mac because like some of the boys parted, they're still
like they still do some collabs.
Speaker 3: I think a little bit.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, reread it wrong, but I think it was ESPN.
Speaker 4: But I think you're I think you are right. It
is fun content though, I will you know, they you know,
they played it.
Speaker 3: A little bit differ.
Speaker 8: They got a bunch of other former players on to
like some of them.
Speaker 5: All right, content, I mean you should you should have
content for everything. Yeah, you should have the nerd stuff.
You should have the frat stuff. You should have the
stats stuff. I don't know about our stuff.
Speaker 3: God what category. No, there's not a real frat vibe
from this show.
Speaker 5: It's just like, well they call it c T E
C T O two b CTE O two B Seeing
Squirrel Show. Yeah, kind of just like speak what's on
your mind? Situation first, sporty, very sporty, very sporty this
time of year. Yeah, we just spent the first sevement
making fun of you and U n C. Yeah we did, yep,
because we're one to know if we were on one,
we have to be breaking down like, oh gosh, if
we were own one, we had to sit here and.
Speaker 7: Just now I didn't FactCheck this, but in the bay
U four chat in mid stream, Ad says Belichick is
eighty three and one hundred and four without Brady.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with his time with the Cleveland Yeah about that.
Speaker 8: Real quick think about the Cleveland Browns and how failures
they are as a franchise. You had Bill Belichick and
Nick Saban on the same coaching stuff. Couldn't even have
a winning record.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just think about that. Maybe the m No, it's
not the worst. I mean, there's some bad ones. This
is their year of the franchises. This is their year.
Speaker 8: Hey, they had six quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: One of them is gonna be good. One of them
is gonna be get odds or they're in their favor.
Speaker 4: Uh bam mcgun inside to buy you four chat Oh
and one sucks?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet it does. It's gonna be okay, I
bet it does. That's that is certainly a feeling that
you don't know, bamagah.
Speaker 8: Right, what was it twenty three straight?
Speaker 3: I think four thousand ones? Last time they lost their season?
We get it. Yeah, We understand you, Bud. We get
it couldn't be us now.
Speaker 4: But were not this year and Brady was thirty two
and eighteen without Bill. Not bad super Bowl champ.
Speaker 3: I hate to see it. Can't win the Kentucky Derby
with Jacky. We'll do it. You gotta have some thoroughbreds. Yeah,
we'll take a break. A lot more coming your way.
Speaker 4: We will get to some New Orleans Saints throughout the
show today.
Speaker 3: Yesterday was obviously all LSU, but.
Speaker 4: Saints opening up this weekend, so certainly bring them back
to the fold here and also continue to talk about
LSU and what happened last Saturday. What you know it
looks like this Saturday, what the schedule looks like, because
you really don't have time to sit there and enjoy
that victory because this weekend, sure you've got Louisiana Tech,
but the next weekend you've got to Florida Gaters coming
to town. So we'll break it all down when we
come back here on.
Speaker 2: Oah, beat off the bench.
Speaker 4: All right, speaking of Louisian Tech and coming to town,
it is your first opportunity to tailgate. It is your
first opportunity to do the thing that people in Baton
Rouge love the most. Put up the tent, put up
the TV, hook it up to the generator, pull out
your ice chest, open it up and have some ice
cold dough Sechis. It is always a great time to
go for dose, but no better time than when it
is tailgating season here in the Capital city.
Speaker 3: Trust me, just go for dose, enjoy the weekend. Drink responsibly.
Speaker 5: I think we've been saying it for about a month, like, oh,
it's almost about to be tailgate time. It's about to
be tailgate beer time. Well, this is it. It's time
to put up or shut up. It's time to go
start ice bring it. Oh all right, I like that time.
Start icing down those in do sechies that cold Mexican lara.
Get ready for the game. It's one of those purple
jersey games, which is like you can just have a
care breed dose Sekis. It's a beer, go for dose,
drink responsibly, do Sekis.
Speaker 1: From Flayers to Legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown l s
U Football like only champions can.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in O TV one, O four
five ESPN. Ben Rude were getting the letout today, Like that.
Speaker 6: You can get the let out.
Speaker 3: I'm always down for that.
Speaker 4: Going back and rewatching the LSU game, Yes for a
third time, because my god, when's the last time we
had an opportunity to go back and just be so
excited about watching an opening game.
Speaker 3: I've had to watch the bad, might as well continue
to watch the good.
Speaker 4: There was it perfect when it came to the LSU
offensive line, it wasn't perfect.
Speaker 3: Quarterback helped you out in some cases. You know, very
good pocket presence.
Speaker 4: Veteran quarterback understood where the rush was coming from, and
he found the spots and he can throw, you know,
off platform and as well as probably anybody in the country.
But considering who you were playing, where you were playing them,
and how many games you played together, I thought it
would an incredible performance. Like West and Davis are right tackle,
He's gonna tell you, man, I gotta get better.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of things I gotta get better at.
But he had his moments. Brayler Moore was somebody that
certainly had his moments. We talked about the other day
Pro Football Focus. He was your highest graded offensive lineman,
your third highest graded offensive player, But somebody that we
didn't talk a whole lot about in the offseason, and
I actually disagree with the Pro Football Focus grade that
he got because it was some run game stuff and
I actually think that he was trying to help others
maybe a little bit too much, stay a little bit
too long because they didn't have their block, and then
maybe his assignment so splitting hairs there. But Paul Mubinga
and left guard pass protected his arse off.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 5: All like, all the build up to this game about
Peter Woods and how good he was, and you know,
I've seen draft boards after this game half him as
the number one rated player in this draft. I didn't
see it before the game. I certainly didn't see it
during the game. And Paul Bubinga locked him up all
night long, all night in past protection.
Speaker 3: And that was somebody last year.
Speaker 4: Remember he had to come in whenever Dellinger went down,
and he had some ups, he had some downs.
Speaker 5: But going back and rewatching the tape again was not perfect.
There was some stuff from the run game. They were like, Okay,
I think he's holding on a little too long. You're
trying to help his padna and then he can't get
to his block, and you can clean that stuff up
and also like, you know, your guy's got to be
able to, you know, quickly take it over so you
can get to your job. But in past protection, man
I thought he was I thought he was really good.
He graded out eighty one percent and the film showed
that as well.
Speaker 3: And Matt we talked about the interior.
Speaker 4: We talked about like if you get pressure from the interior,
like it doesn't matter how good you are quarterback, doesn't
matter how good you are in the pocket. If you
you know, look, if you can't step up, not gonna
be very effective. And I thought the guards, I thought
Thompson did a nice job. But Paul mcbeinga in pass
protection and Josh Thompson both graded in the eighties and
it certainly showed in the tape.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that the interior of the offensive line
played together really well. That's one thing you worry about
with new offensive linemen, throwing them into the mix, especially
that many new offensive linemen. Something you worry about is
the continuity that they have working together early in the
season and to come out first game and to be
able to pass off games, pass off rushers to each other,
work as a team, like it's a little three man
team right there, the center and the guards on each side,
and those guys did a great job of understanding when
the guard was passing it off to the center, the
center passing off to the guard.
Speaker 3: Like they worked really well together. And that takes time.
Speaker 5: That takes a lot of repetitions with each other to
learn each other's bodylaneguage and signals that you're given to
each other that you just can't throw somebody in there
now if you have two guards and like a news center,
it's kind of like easy to you know, they can,
they can make up a little bit for you know,
the new guy. But to have that many guys in
there and first game of the season going against what
people are saying is really good talent. Now we will
it remains to be seeing what those Clemson defensive linemen
ended up doing in the.
Speaker 3: Draft and for the rest of their career.
Speaker 5: But from what they were saying, one of the top
guys or top two defensive linemen, and those guys handled
it all game long. But I was just really impressed
on the way the kindue that just that speaks to
the coaching, that speaks of the preparation, that speaks to
what they were able to get done in spring, in
the offseason and in training camp, and you go out
their first game and keep your quarterback clean for the
most part. And I think the one I think the
sack that we had was I think I believe a
mental air between the right tackling and the tight end
and a defensive end squirted through and you know it happens.
Those things are going to happen, especially when you're getting
you might get a front that you're not expecting, and
when you hold the tight end in for protection, it's
something you don't work on all the time, so maybe
a call gets missed there.
Speaker 3: I feel like his eyes were bad the right tackle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the right tackle's eyes were bad, but that interior
worked really well. So I was excited to see that
because that's something that transfers week to week, is learning
how to work with each other. And again, you're gonna
see games all season long, so be able to pass
that off.
Speaker 3: I was just very encouraged from that.
Speaker 4: A couple of comments inside the buy You four chat,
Drew says, I hope to never see dj Chester at
left tackle. I was surprised by that that he came
in at left tackle. He was your starting center, a
year ago battle for a guard position in camp, and
when your left tackle went down for a couple of plays,
that's who went in there.
Speaker 3: I was surprised, and yeah he got beat.
Speaker 4: He got beat pretty pretty quick off the edge and
the couple of reps that he was in there also
says the O line started rough roof throughout the game.
It may have reflected or reflected the fact that the
offer to play calling improved as the game went along
with the offer to play calling. I think you have
to be careful because you have to remember in the
second half, look at it obviously like they were a
well oiled machine, but you have to remember, so Tom
Allen wasn't at Clemson last year.
Speaker 3: He was at Penn State.
Speaker 5: And so when you're preparing for this game, you're watching
Penn State, Penn State, Penn State. Now you watch Clemson
just to get an idea on personnel, but you don't
know what Tom Allen is going to do with the
personnel at Clemson. The personnel that he has, you know
there is different than what he had at Penn State,
and so a lot of it drew. You have to
It's a like a big prize fight, right You're not
just come out of the corner throwing haymakers. You're gonna
throw some jabs, You're gonna CounterPunch a little bit. You're
trying to figure out your opponent because you've got an
idea of what your game plan is going to be,
but there's a great unknown, right when you have this
big heavyweight fight.
Speaker 3: I think that was the case in the game. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think you had a coordinator and Joe Sloan that
was trying to figure out, Okay, how is he going
to attack us. You go back and you watched the
second half, it was domination. I thought as far as
Joe Sloan versus Tom Allen, you know, coordinator versus coordinator,
because they moved the football, like even the touchdown that
wasn't a touchdown, right, They came back that next drive
and they moved the football. They had success in the
second half, and they started to go to Aaron Anderson.
They started to see some stuff in the middle of
the intermediate, you know, kind of stuff that you could
get with Aaron Anderson. I thought they kind of changed
what they were doing a little bit, not wholesale changes,
but I think he figured out, okay, here's what he's
going to do, Let's go attack it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 5: There's only so much you can get done in a
twenty to thirty minute period, like a halftime.
Speaker 3: There's there's a lot of.
Speaker 5: Them, especially like in the NFL level, Like there's a
lot of like halftime adjustments, halftime adjustments. It's hard to
completely change an offense, like you can't do it. Maybe
you can add a play in here or attack here,
but it just you're the mindset from a play calling changes.
And in the first half, just like you said, I mean,
it's it's filling out your opponent. You're trying to you're
trying to feel them out, see what kind of looks
they're going to give you, because you don't really know
first game of the season, and also you are potentially
trying to set something up for the first I mean
it's a four quarter game, it's not a first and
second quarter game. So like you're doing things in the
first half, calling a game a specific way because you
might be trying to set something up a little bit more,
or you might be trying to wear them out every
time you run the ball, like it's it's like death
by a thousand cuts, Like you're like, the defense is
getting a little bit more tired.
Speaker 3: That's another hit on them, that's another that's another this
or that.
Speaker 5: So, like you you try to bring a game into
the fourth quarter, sometimes that that type of play call.
Speaker 3: I went through game plans sometimes.
Speaker 5: Like we're gonna run, run, run, We're gonna run heavy
first half of the game or maybe even into the
third quarter. Then all of a sudden, we're gonna we're
gonna air it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that. Sometimes that is a mindset of a coordinator.
Speaker 5: Not saying that that was the mindset of this game,
but it did kind of seemed like that. But I
think a lot of the adjustment comes from like a
halftime quote unquote halftime adjustment just comes from the play calling.
Like you have these plays in like you have a
whole slew of plays to call, and you think the
game is gonna go one way, and your play calling
might go like down one rabbit hole. Well the defense changes,
so okay, we got to change it up a little bit.
It's not necessarily adding plays or anything. It just from
a play calling standpoint, you open it up a little
bit more. But all of that running that you did
do in the first half certainly helped open up the
passing game in the second half.
Speaker 4: So look, I love doing They kept doing the like
let's get in bunch and let's just throw an hour route.
Speaker 3: To Juwan Johnson had their tight ends go out there
and every they're gonna do it again, yeah until they
stop it. Yeah they never did. Why not?
Speaker 5: Because it's easy. It's an extension of a running game.
And guess what.
Speaker 3: It makes.
Speaker 5: The defensive line run a lot right side to side
and it's just exhausting. So you get the ball out
of your hand. Defensive line has to step up because
they have to start a pass rush or like a
run rush. Then they have to run east and west
to the sideline a lot of times. It gets you tired,
and it's and it's all offensive coordinators do that for
a reason because it is an extension of the running game.
Because you're like, Okay, let's get three four yards. That's perfect,
we're staying on schedule, down in distance. All right, second
and six, great, exactly what we wanted. Okay, got a
play make got the bottle, playmate. Okay, he pops one
for thirteen fourteen yards.
Speaker 3: Perfect.
Speaker 5: That means that defensive line is running just a little
bit more. First game of the season two condition, he's
not quite as there.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful.
Speaker 4: Yeah, nice job by the tight ends too, Like I mean,
they had the point and they just drove the defensive
ACKs and linebackers back like seven yards every time.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're gonna keep doing it until they make
you change. How we feel today? Not great? Not great.
You got a little frog in your throat. Yeah, it's

us on YouTube, that's what they do. They win awards
over at Tommy's Go Tommy's dot Com.
Speaker 3: Yo, Tommy to me me, We'll check. That's what he's saying.
Tell me quarterback, please need you toll me speaking of Tommy.
Speaker 5: I saw a little clip of him talking about his
evaluation of quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: I think when he's looking at college quarterbacks because he's
no part owner of the Raiders, now, he looks at
touchdown celebrations. So he gave this great like talk and
a great answer to a question about when I evaluate quarterbacks.
One of the things I look at is how they
celebrate after a touchdown when their team does well. Because
football is the ultimate team sport, yep. So to order
in order to win championships, that's the goal of the quarterback.
Your goal of quarterback is not to be a Pro
Bowl quarterback. It's to be a championship quarterback, right And
you can't do that in the greatest team sport of
all time without being a team first guy. So his
explanation was, after how do they celebrate? Do they go
celebrate with their team? Do they jump around and high
five the offensive lineman and the receivers who didn't score
the touchdown? Who made the downfill block? Because nobody can
do it by themselves or over there, you know, shooting
guns and shooting bow and arrows into the stands, and
and you know, putting ice in the veins by themselves
and all those things, or do they go and celebrate
with their team.
Speaker 3: So he said, if they're not with that guy, then
he would not draft them. Okay, all right.
Speaker 5: I don't know if he said that last part, but
that's basically what he meant, which I thought was amazing.
Speaker 3: It was great, what a great what a great attitude
to have.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm trying to think he had them quarterbacks, I
played with them, like that's what they did.
Speaker 3: I mean, most quarterbacks I would think do, but he was.
Speaker 5: He was talking about like he always was made sure
every time he would celebrate with everybody, like not just
a guy that scored the touchdown, of course you're gonna
you're gonna give him one of those head slaps and
forehead bumps, the guy to the to the guy that scored,
but celebrating with everybody, which is great.
Speaker 3: What do you think about that? Him being a part
owner of the Raiders.
Speaker 4: I hate the Raiders outside of the Philadelphia Phillies, it's
the team that I hate the most.
Speaker 5: So it's always weird to associate a player with another
team like post playing career. Yeah, I think it's weird.
It's weird enough, like to associate Tom Brady with the Buccaneers.
Of course, it made it less weird when he went
a Super Bowl. Yeah, but same thing with like Michael
Jordan in the Wizards, in the Wizards hornets. Yeah right,
it's it's weird to associate that as like an ownership standpoint,
like Tom Brady wearing the it was a sweet jacket,
but the Raiders jacket the other day, like walking into
the one of the preseason games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you see that? Yeah? I did. Sweet jacket
had some fella.
Speaker 4: Why is Greg McRoy giving Garrett Nosmeira a b performance?
Speaker 3: Is a hater?
Speaker 6: What do you Simpson?
Speaker 3: Because of Greg McElroy A It's just not something you
hand out, you know.

Speaker 4: All right, So the New Orleans Saints are opening up
their season with the Cardinals going to be hosting them
inside the Superdome, and right now they were a six
and a half point dog at home to start the season.
Some of the news coming out for the Saints. They
did release Special Teams stand out JT. Gray yesterday. Now
I know that was shocking for a lot of people.
He has been is a mainstay for the team, and
he's been somebody that you know you can count on.
But sometimes when you get into a position where your
roster is just kind of all over the place and
it's not really solidified, unfortunately, special teams guys are the
ones that typically go first because in a lot of
people's minds, it's like, oh, I can find somebody that can,
you know, give us something close to what JT. Gray gavis,
even though he was a standout special teams guy. So
it caught a lot of people by surprise. But I
think Keller Moore and I think he said as much.
He's like, look just kind of like, you know, these
roster decisions are difficult, but where we're at right now,
like we needed more flexibility, Like we needed somebody that
can help us on offense and defense a little bit
more and also play teams.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're gonna Unfortunately, with the roster from top to
bottom that the Saints have, they have to try to
make space for any playmaker they can get not just
a core special teams guy, unfortunately, because it seems like
every really good team out there has a one or two,
maybe three core special team guys that have been there
a long time that every now and then make like
that special like special teams pro spot. Like just the
guy like a like a linebacker that really never plays,
but he's in year fourteen. Yeah, and he is the
first one down on kickoff and like for somehow makes
every single tackle like on special teams, Like.
Speaker 3: Everybody's got that.
Speaker 5: But where you're at on the roster, yeah, I mean
you gotta you gotta try to find lighting a bottle
at different positions. So unfortunately, as much as we talk
about the importance of special teams, I mean your roster's
not quite as good sometimes, like those roster spots the.
Speaker 3: Offense and defensive guys taking a little precedence.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And kel Moore's quote was, you know, we know
the high quality player that he is, the impact that
he's had on this organization. Just with the roster management
part of this thing over the course of the season,
throughout the next few weeks, there's a lot of challenges
associated with that. It was a really tough one for
this to go through and again, like Matt said, you
got you got a lot of questions right now when
it comes to that roster.
Speaker 3: But you know, certainly there's a lot.
Speaker 4: Of current players, former players that were upset to see this,
but this is this is a roster.
Speaker 3: It's going to continue to change to it.
Speaker 5: And I don't know if it's really known like what
position they were trying to like make that extra spot,
but I mean just think about top to bottom. I mean,
if you can sacrifice the course, special team's got to
put an extra body in the offensive line room or
some extra depths of wide receiver room, like like you
do it at this point because your goal right now
in the twenty and twenty five season is to of
course win as many games as possible, but really solidify
what you are as an offense and get your questions
answered at the quarterback position.
Speaker 4: Right now, as I said, the Saints are six and
a half point dog at home. ESPN Matchup Predictor gives
them only a forty point six percent chance to win
this game.
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know where the Cardinals are going to
be either.
Speaker 4: I don't really know what they're going to be, but look,
it's going to be at home. It's going to be,
you know, an opportunity now for Spencer Rattler. He has
been named the starting quarterback, is gonna be multiple weeks
by time you get to the game.
Speaker 3: Injuries, you're fairly fairly.
Speaker 4: Healthy going into this game outside of the ones certainly
that you've known about for a long time like Foster
Morrow and a Taysom Hill and some of the other
guys that got hurt in training camp. I think Trevor
Pinning is listed as questionable in this game, So that's
certainly something to pay attention to. But look, not a
lot of fanfare going into the season for the New
Orleans Saints, but they do have I think, you know,
a winnable opening game.
Speaker 3: Yeah they do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they do. Look six and a half points in
a lot in the NFL. I was just listening to
talk about the ESPN, Yes, and percentages are so crazy,
like forty, like saying you're gonna win four out of
ten times, right, Obviously that doesn't equal out to plus
six and a half points when you look at it
from a Vegas standpoint, So I think Vegas knows a
little bit more than the ESPN. So that's a lot
of points, but I'm hopeful. I'm a brand new Saints fan. Guys,
just want you all to know that since I've taken
over this show, brand new Baseball fan, brand new Saints fan.
Speaker 3: So we're going to be cheering and hopefully we can
make a little splash.
Speaker 5: I know there's probably a little bit of a probably
split fan base out there. Some people want to tank.
I don't think it's tank for ARC anymore as of
this week. At least maybe next week.
Speaker 3: You never know.
Speaker 5: But look, the fact of the matter is NFL football
starts this week. The Saints play this week, and for
everybody that's a fan out there, whether you're excited or
not excited about the entirety of the season or about
the roster, we can at least get excited for the
first game of the season, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Because if you can't get excited for this one,
how many more times are you going to get a
chance to get excited?
Speaker 3: Who knows? You know? It was it last year that.
Speaker 5: The Saints started out to and O was that just
last year where they beat.
Speaker 6: The Cowboys and the Panthers?
Speaker 8: Yeah, like a record from most points in the first
two weeks. I mean, it was like yeah, and then
what like forty.
Speaker 4: Two seven, Oh yeah, because that's when T was talking
about the carfax.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't make.
Speaker 8: Me MADT his old book, La dude, he was all
about the carfax, all.
Speaker 3: About the carfax. Turned out you had a lemon.
Speaker 8: I got relentless text messages from him heading home during
that game on the radio, and hey, you saw, like
howd that turned out?
Speaker 3: We both saw it.
Speaker 5: It turned out to And you know what when we
talked to Kellimore last week, like he said it right there,
but he said, it's a long season, Like there's gonna
be parts where people are getting decided, there's gonna be
parts where people are bad. Like it's such a long season,
and that's why they call it like the the when
rookies go in. They hit that little rookie wall about
week eleven, twelve thirteen, where it's like, oh, good.
Speaker 4: Lord, because you're used to your season being over. Yeah no, no, no,
we still got like seven games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're used to light weeks where replay Long
Island University instead of the Eagles the next week and
then oh we got the Eagles. Well guess what you're
gonna play? If you're like speaking for you. For the
Cowboy it's like, oh the Cowboys. Oh, we got the
Eagles this week, but next week it's a little step
back game. We got the Falcons, but then it's the
Eagles again the next week. You've got to play them
twice in the next three weeks. So it's like, that's
that's the NFL for you. It's every single week for
seventeen of them. So it's gonna be along. So there's
gonna be times where we get upset Saints fans. There's
gonna be some times we might get a little too high.
Who knows they win this game. Can't win them all
if you.
Speaker 4: Don't win the first Yeah, but I am looking forward
to seeing what it looks like under new hey coach
Callim Moore. What it looks like was Spencer Ratler as
a starting quarterback. And did we, you know, truly see
some of the things that are going to do out
there offensively in the preseason? Don't think so so excited
for that at least here in week number one?
Speaker 3: All right, we will.
Speaker 4: Step away, come back still talking LSU football. ESPN came
