Speaker 3: The NFL go tonight, it gets under way seven twenty
pm local time. You'll have the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the
Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Is this like the Amazon broadcast tonight or Peacock NBC
and Peacock.
Speaker 3: I believe it's actually gonna I believe it's gonna be
on both it's gonna be on NBC and also Simon
Castle on Peacock.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty like I can't.
Speaker 3: The last couple of years, NBC has gotten the opening
game and the Super Bowl champ always plays in that game,
but they're hosting the Cowboys. It did come out that
the Eagles did try to get in on the Micah
Parsons sweepstakes. Even Jerry's like, look, I'm crazy, but I
ain't that crazy. I'm trade him in the NFC, but
I'm not trading him in the NFC East, because, yeah,
the Eagles need one more pass.
Speaker 2: Rusher because they don't have enough of those. And I
love how Jerry Jones is like trying to spend this
as like the Cowboys winning in this whole deal, Like,
oh man, I take the numbers all the time. I
take the draft numbers. I take He talks. He talked
like there's different there's two types of capital. There's draft
capital and then there's actually money capital. Yeah, and I'll
take the draft capital all the time every day. Well,
good luck replacing a guy that's twenty seven year old
on already on a Hall of Fame trajectory and kind
of widely you know, argumentally, the best defensive player in
the National Football League, a piece that a team in
your own in your own conference needs, the team that
has knocked you out of the playoffs the last three times.
You give them and for two first rounders and a
defensive tackle and now a good defense to have a
run stopper somebody that they needed. But it's just funny
to me how he's trying to paint this picture that
they are they are the winners of this trade, when
if they were actually felt that way and they really
thought that the draft capital was more valuable than having
Micah Parsons and paying all the money to him, they
would have made this trade in the off season when
more people were, you know, figuring out their their cap space,
their roster, and they wouldn't have done it just on
a whim in the middle at the end of training camp. Yeah,
they would have gotten.
Speaker 3: Way more for that player than what Green Bay gave them.
Speaker 2: So green Bay absolutely fleecing the Dallas Cowboys in getting
Michael Parsons, who of course has a little bit of
a back injury. But as we learn from mister doctor
arthrough yesterday, and we appreciate his segment every single week,
that it's a inflammatory and it can be bad that
different inflammation levels, different types of severity. But it's not
a nerve damage. It's not something that can hurt him
going forward in the long term future. It's something that
you know, it happens, it happens to play. It is
a long season, there's going to be injuries, so something
very magicable. So anyway, now we get to see kind
of the fallout from that. What is I'm so curious
as I how does the cowboy locker room respond to this? Like,
it's their job to play football, it's their job to
listen to their coach, But it's hard to listen to
their teammates and their coach when the noise is so
loud coming from the owner. It's like your actually speaks aloud.
I can barely hear it. Well, Jerry's yelling so loud
that I can barely hear my coach. So like, how
do you respond to that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what kind of messages that to your team too?
You get rid of your best player before the season.
Speaker 2: No doubt, I mean that's what I'm saying, Like, how
would we respond? How would you respond in the locker
room if that happened? Like, I don't know what that is.
Like it would kind of be like I'm trying to
make a comparison to my team, a guy that meant
so much to us, Like it's it's like them trading
away my rookie year, like trading really Charles Woodson before
the first game of the season, a guy on defense
that was a game changer, meant so much to our
Green Bay team. Nobody would have liked taken.
Speaker 3: That very nice, right, Yeah, have been would have been
like Sean Merriman, Hey, Bud for a season You're gone, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like excuse me, excuse me? Say why no? Yeah? Right?
For really nothing game changing in return? Yeah, And I
know the players and the coaches they're gonna say all
the right things because they're professionals, right, But how do
you respond to that? And so like you're mentally not
all there. You're going to waltz into Philadelphia, the reigning
Super Bowl champs, with the best roster maybe ever created
over there like this, this roster that is widely regarded
as the best roster in the National Football League aka
the entire world for football. And after all of this,
you're expected to go in there and compete. I don't know.
I don't know what the point spread is, but whatever
it is, I'm taking the Eagles.
Speaker 3: Last I looked, it was eight and a half in
favor of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2: Take it.
Speaker 3: So the NFL, like the opening game of the NFL,
and really the NFL in general, it's always fastascinating to
me because like, no matter who you're a fan of,
Like I don't like either one of these teams, Like
my team doesn't play until Friday, but it's like it
doesn't matter, Like you're gonna like watch and you're going
to analyze, You're gonna kind of break down the plays
and what went right, what went wrong. Like it's like
the only sport that I think, like in the world
where your team doesn't have to be playing for you
to be locked in and be intrigued in the storylines
and you know, throw shade at a team even though
your team might win five games. It's like, doesn't matter,
but your team sucks too.
Speaker 2: It's like that in college football too, with like other
little like you can but it has to be a
hyped game, like it's got to be a big game,
Like we were locked into uh Texas Ohio State this
past weekend. It's not our team, like, we don't really
care like we play and we're in the same division
as as Texas and that's cool. But there's a big storyline,
so you like that. But I agree with it. In
the NFL, it's the best players in the world playing
the best sport in the world every single week, and
so it doesn't really matter what the teams are. To me.
I love watching the actual just like the game the
gameplay of the NFL more than college. But I like
like the energy and the pageantry and everything else that
comes to college football. So I have like this love
for both, but in like way different ways, separate ways.
So I'm excited. I know the college slates a little
bit down, but I'm so excited for this weekend because
of NFL football. There's big gins. The Packers play the
Lions this week. We'll be at flag football practice during it.
But you know, I guess I can record it. I mean,
I hate recording sports too. And going back, did you
see Scott Hansen on Pat mcafew show yesterday? A lot
of buzz about it commercials in red zone, right, commercials
and NFL red zone, and people are not happy about it.
I've never been like a big red zone guy. I
kind of like to watch one game. I like to
hear the commentary. But I understand the allure, and I
know it is like wildly popular, very NFL Red Zone.
It's because I think he's there for I think he
does like seven straight hours, NonStop highlights, NonStop talking. I
think he was talking about he didn't even go to
the bathroom for like seven straight out, which I can't
imagine that. We couldn't do it. Nope, couldn't do it.
We got some Well I don't. I have a normal
sized bladder. I'm just very hydrated. Because you have. It's
a good opportunity here for your company. Yeah, it's I
have to go. I got to peel a lot. It's
an occupational hazard because I'm supremely hydrated with my high.
So drink my high dot com. Drink my high dot com. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Bam mcgump, who plays Friday's Los Angeles Chargers, YEP and
the Kansas City Chiefs. Not in America, Brazil, everybody knows
that what time do they play? I guess I guess
the time difference isn't that bad. No, it's probably just
look a couple hours one way or the other.
Speaker 2: Don't know. I think it was a thirteen hour flight
for the Arders.
Speaker 3: But it's prime time seven pm here at Central time
on YouTube? Is this the first game like not YouTube
TV like YouTube? Is this the first ever NFL game
on YouTube? It's got to be.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm not gonna be able to watch
this ore. We just getting like super weird with all
of our broadcasts.
Speaker 3: Well, you got to have like ninety seven subscriptions every
NFL game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to look it up. Who is handling
that right? Even if it's on YouTube, you have to
have experienced people like producing it and running it and
commentating on it. Yeah. I mean Amazon did it a
couple of years ago, and they came onto the scene
and they did an incredible job. I thought, I think
the Amazon it was on Prime Brine. I mean, I'm
talking like that's a foregone collusion that's happening again this year.
Who knows what these contracts look like. I'm assuming Amazon's
still doing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Amazon would be what al Michaels, Kirk Kurbstreet, Kaylee Hartung,
the pre show with Fits and seven with Tony Gonzalez.
I think that I think they did a really good job.
They have Marshaun Lynch like do little like videos and
not skits, but like he does, it goes on location.
Speaker 2: I think that, but just from like the people are good,
but the broadcast is really good, so you could tell
it's like experienced videographers, cameramen, producers, directs that you could
tell that they knew what they're doing. Now, sometimes you
get into instances I think Netflix has had something before
it was like, well this is trash. Yeah, like this
broadcast just thinks like they probably came from another sport
and now they're filming a sport they've never done before.
It's a little bit different. But I don't know how's
YouTube gonna do.
Speaker 3: Look if they gonna get if anyt we'll do it
deserves to be a test on me.
Speaker 2: It's probably my bush league.
Speaker 3: Bolts gonna try it. So people do actually care about
the Chiefs. They don't care about the Chargers. People don't
like the Chiefs. It's a weird take to me. You
think people like the Chiefs. They don't like the Chiefs.
Like people didn't like to Patriots. They don't like the Yankees.
People didn't like that they win. Yes, absolutely, and you
know they think, which I'm not saying that it's not
true that they get every fifty to fifty call.
Speaker 2: I mean that's a thing. Yeah, that's a thing. It's
a thing if you're a winner. I love a winner.
You like the chiefs. I love winners. That wasn't Patrick
Mahomes is from right outside of tile At, Texas. Uh
so I do? Yeah? Why not? I like, see hold on,
hold on something?
Speaker 3: White Castle, Castle, white House, white House, white House. All right,
white Castle, that's.
Speaker 2: That's here, right, Delicious restaurant. Yeah, that white House. That's
the white House, Texas, White House, Texas. So Johnny manzilga
up there as well. They've both been in the same
high school. Uh Johnny he transferred like in middle school
or maybe early high school. He went to move I
don't know where. You tell me we're not from East Texas.
Do you know anything about East Texas? Well, I don't
know where commerce is. I know, you don't know where
Johnny manziel went.
Speaker 3: He's supposed to be, but I don't think and that
he moved out of East Texas.
Speaker 2: Do you know where Matthew McConaughey went to high school? Nope,
long View yes, yes, I didn't know that long V
Lobo nailed it.
Speaker 3: They were our rival, h one of our rivals, one
of ours too, like and like we played them every year.
We played long View every year long View, Lufkin, all
those teams in your district too scared to play Tyler? Yeah,
we were scared to play the team with the honorable
mention quarterback.
Speaker 2: We were the district champs every year, not those other guys.
Twelve five a district champs. Uh.
Speaker 3: Blake asked how is Herbstreet allowed to broadcast with Amazon?
I guess because he's got the ESPN. I've like those
things now, Like it's a good question, it's a fair question.
But like now, like all these people are like so
just like intertwined with different networks and like, okay, I'll
give you so yesterday alone, I saw Josh Pate on ESPN,
like he does a segment like on Get Up or
one of those like shows. He was on with Colin
Cowherd the Volume Network, Like he did a big interview
with him Collins, you.
Speaker 2: Know Fox guy. Uh, Josh was on like Busting with
the Boys. Fox.
Speaker 3: He was like Fox like Foxes one Uh, like he
was only two more shows, and I'm like, man, like,
if you can do it right, if you can put
it in your contract where hey, like I'm not just exclusive,
like sure, like I'm with you, like we're together, but
just know that, like I can freelance a little bit
as well, Like that's kind of it's kind of the deal.
Speaker 2: Now. I think a ton of people are actually doing
that in the business. I don't know. Maybe it's just
a ten nine and nine employee. Who knows, I mean, yeah,
good baby, could be. Or maybe they just have an affiliation.
Maybe maybe Bezos and company just paid ESPN and used
all their producers. It could have been you know, you
never know, but I'm I'm curious to see how that
production of YouTube is. I had no idea it was
going to be on YouTube. Ope. But I've kind of
upgrade to premium, don't with those commercials? Oh yeah, me too.
I've probably done that years ago. Just one more thing,
you know, just one more thing? What is one more?

Speaker 2: Memorabilia that they have.
Speaker 3: I mean, Dylan Cruz, Tommy White, let's see Witweeks. There's
a picture right here me justin Vincent Clyde Edwards E Lair.
Speaker 2: That's a cool one. Don't see a fun if you're
trying to, like, if you're trying to like tell people
about cool thet stories. Don't bring the seen a yet,
say Billy Cannon, I actually.
Speaker 3: Saw one that had so all four national championship running
backs on it.
Speaker 2: That was kind of cool. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, when
you're here, when you get to the get to the
stadium on Saturday, and then in all season long at
home games, like make sure you swing by. It's they're
going to be kind of having like events here. It's
not just a store, it's not just a shop. Come
like come just windows shop. Just look at the cool stuff.
Look at the like one of one memorabilia they got here.
And if you are like you, if you run a foundation,
if you're a business owner, you're throwing an event, what
better way to like bring money in awareness to that
event or that organization then bringing pro Dreams in to
set up a silent auction at that at that event,
they will actually also donate part of the proceeds back
to that organization or charity or whoever you're trying to
raise money for. So they'll bring all this cool stuff,
all the people there can bid on it with those
proceeds going back to that organization right here. And that's
what they do here at Pro Dreams.
Speaker 3: All right, So now I want to go across the
NFL slate and I want to pick maybe your favorite play.
Speaker 2: I know you want to do a Survivor. Yeah, I
want to do an OTB Survivor as well. But of
course people like to make a little money out there,
make a little extra cheddar, a little extra spending dough.
So we do want to kind of look around the
NFL give you our picks, but I do kind of
want to start off with getting a little Survivor action
in if those of y'all who know what survivor is,
it's basically you'll sign up and you will pick. We're picking.
You pick winners and losers. It's not it's not spreads
or anything. You just look at the NFL slate and
you say, I think this team is going to win today.
You can pick an underdog, you can pick an underdog,
you can pick a heavy favorite, whatever it is. But
you got to like, if your team loses, you're done,
and then the Survivor league it's whoever goes farther. So
if you're in a Survivor league and you're looking for
your picks, you're going to be able to check it
out every single week. Here at OTV be I guess
until you lose you yeah, then it's over. But b
it's over. You're well you you brought it up. So
I mean you're doing it right out of the gate. Yeah,
I'm gonna do it out the gate, and I'm gonna
do it just based on so I think you. I
always tell my kids when when you're trying to problem
solve and you're you're figuring out a puzzle or figuring
out a word problem, like, you start with the things
that you know. You start with the facts, and then
you build out from there. Then you build your hypothesis,
you build your analysts are you analyze after that, But
you start with what you know. And in week one,
we don't know anything. Although I do know that the
Eagles are really good, okay, and I know that the
Cowboys are in shambles. So I know you don't really
want to take like the better teams early. I get it,
because at some point you're gonna have to pick the
Saints to win a game if you if you keep going,
you're gonna have picked. You're gonna have to find a
winner with the Jets, whatever. But week one you have
to find what you know and I know that the
Eagles are really damn good, and I know that the
Cowboys are an absolutely mess, and I can only imagine
what has happened in that locker room. So the OTV
Survivor pick for this week.
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles first games, first Survivor first game, and then
next week somebody else from the Foxhoul is going to
pick after the Eagles clearly are going to win, all.
Speaker 2: Right, all right? So is that your favorite play as well?
Like eight and a half? Man, I kind of like
threw it out there earlier. Now I'm still trying to
figure out exactly what my favorite play is. I'm assuming
you're just over there ready to roll.
Speaker 3: Though, I keep I keep coming back to the Bengals
and Browns game.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The Bengals are on the road, They're at the Mistake
by the Lake.
Speaker 2: They're a five and a half point favorite.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of points for being on the road
in the NFL. But the Browns are the Browns and
the Bengals Bingles have a lot to prove this year.
Speaker 2: See, you're gonna go with the Bengals at minus five
and a half. I was thinking about it. Boy, what
a pick? What a pick? I'm not even gonna go
with your Chargers. Hey, you know what, screw it, give
me charges plus three and a half? Wow?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well it wasn't there of money, don't make money.
Speaker 2: It was my bold prediction that the Chiefs would make
the playoffs this year.
Speaker 3: Yeap, okay, well they've only made Give me the Chargers
plus three and a half.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm taking a look. I'm looking at this
as well, and one game that sticks out to me
right now is the Texans and the Rams. The Rams
hosting this game are sitting at minus three and a
half against the Texans. The Rams. I don't know if
you know this, but Stafford's been dealing with some injuries.
He has not practiced a lot, certainly not played a
lot leading up into this game. I think that they
also have lost. They don't have Cooper Cup this year.
He is in Seattle. I think they have a lot
of uh. I think for the first game, not having
your quarterback there for most of training camp could create
an issue with just timing and just like little things,
little side. I think the Rams are going to be
a good football team this year, but also think the
Texans are highly highly skilled. They got a lot of talent.
I love CJ. Stroud at quarterback. I think he does
great things. I think three and a half is too many.
Rams might win this game, but three and a half.
I kind of like that line that the Texans the
Texas going on the so Texans plus three and a
half for me, I love a Landra's pick too, because
it's a game that only a good old NFL siko
would look at it. I can appreciate it so much.
Speaker 3: She's going Carolina plus three and a half, Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: Let's go. You're a sicko, Alandra.
Speaker 3: There's gonna be there's gonna be two people watching that game,
my my son Memphis, who's rooting for the Panthers, and
my younger brother Chance, who's rooting for the Jags. And
now Alandra makes three let's go. I love it, though
I love the pick. I hope Carolina's good. I hope
Carolina's good.
Speaker 2: I think offensively, Carolina is going to be good this year.
Speaker 3: I hope for one of my very good friend's card
collections that Carolina is good this year.
Speaker 2: Me yep, way, we are invested in some Bryce young
right now, boys, I think, uh, you know this is
you know the card collection talking a lot when I'm
talking about quarterbacks, but I do think breakout player this
year Exaberly Gat's got to got a chance to do that.
Supremely talented guy, fast, quick, explosive, can hit that home
run ball if he gets the if he gets the
ball in his hand anywhere on the field. So I
think I kind of was talking. I'm going to compare
them to the Miami Dolphins the last couple of years.
I just don't as a team, I don't think they're
going to be able to get it done. But I
think they are going to have these just highly explosive
offensive games. Without the season. Oh, there's going to be
some games they play good people, they'll probably disappear a
little bit. But I do think they were going to
have the potential to be explosive and have those three
hundred and fifty four hundred yard passing games and just
those big thirty five forty forty two point games that
they just kind of explode onto the scene and you
see that talent. They are young, they are talented on offense.
I think Bryce Young really took a big step towards
the at the end of the season, he looked terrible
at the beginning, but played well towards the end of
the season. So I'm hoping, I mean, I'm hopeful for
the kid that he gets it turned around and ends
up having a good career, not just for my own
selfish sports card collection, but I do hope that he
seems like a good kid. So even though he is
a role tatter, but.
Speaker 3: I do think the Caroline, but you know, I feel,
you know, he feels like a good kid.
Speaker 2: He got it cheerful. But then now I can say
the same thing about the Jacks too, Trevor Lawrence. He
has he has shined, and he has certainly not shined.
But another guy that's kind of put in that same category,
as as Bryce Young, who I think can still take
another step in their professional football career and move up
to that next level. Will they ever be top five guys? Now?
I don't think so. Neither one of these guys will,
but they got talent all around him. So I and
like the we I watched.
Speaker 3: The pants as traded Adam thalon which I I don't
know that I agree with it, but it tells you
that they feel good about Xavier Legett and Tedor Roald McMillan,
who they've taken in the first round back to back years,
because if they didn't, they would have just kept Adam
Dealing there and he's a great veteran presence. But they
feel good about their first round picks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly. And then I watched the Jaguars more this
preseason than I did the Panthers, just because the Jaguars
played the Saints and I watched him in there. I
was like that first team looked good, first two drifted
the first two drives, they walked down the field so bad.
And the guys look good. Who they got tank? Yeah,
thank for he looked good against the Saints as well.
So I think they're both actually pretty good. I mean
pretty good to be exciting to watch it. Leadist, I
think that'll be actually pretty good. Yeah, I like that Picolandra.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be invested in that game now, just to
see if the Panthers cover that one.

Speaker 3: Know you're reminded me of with your microphone movement, Bobby Carpenter,
you and Big ten Bob.
Speaker 2: You know, yes, like this when you're moving around.
Speaker 3: That's what the that's what the listeners here and no, yeah,
I do not think of you'all in the same workout vein.
Have you have you held down your part of the
quad box meat head Fridays?
Speaker 2: We're doing that every week. Yes.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: AJ's a busy man. You know.
Speaker 3: Every time we've ever had Aj on the phone, he's
been driving.
Speaker 2: True.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I drive so much. Where's he going?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've had a three times and he's
been in the car all three times. He lives in
Columbus and he was in Columbus for the show last week.
So where was he drafted. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was just going to like his local coffee shop.
Or maybe he's barista.
Speaker 2: Maybe him and Bob were about to get a set in.
They were meeting at the facility. They could have been.
They live right by each other. AJ is probably not
as uh socially out going as Bobby. I don't know
if anybody really is. So, I don't know if Bob's
kind of the mayor of Columbus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he wasn't voted in either. No, it was
not brought to him. Vote was not brought to a vote.
He kind of he kind of took that over with aggression.
I will say this so after let's be a prisoner
of the moment. After one week in college football, their
school in our school looked like two of the best teams.
Speaker 2: We agree there absolutely.
Speaker 3: If we have if we if if that happens, and
this is this is so long away that you can't
even see it, but if our teams ended up playing
each other in the college football playoff any round, I
don't care what round it is. Actually, I know people
are like, you dummy, you want to buy I get that,
but oh my dude, Ohio State in this place are
LSU going there, that.
Speaker 2: Would be great. We'd have to do something.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, maybe right here in pro dreams if it's here, Yeah, yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 2: I get one bucket of that is yeah, you do,
you do want that buy? But man hosting a playoff game,
there's something pretty cool about that. I'll tell you what.
Going back in and so for off.
Speaker 3: Campus, like I gotta kind of we gotta talk about
every team over there, and you know, you try to
get as much film as you possibly can for every team.
And I'm not sitting here neck and like I'm watching
all one hundred and thirty plus teams. I don't do that,
but I probably watched about fifteen teams last week. I
didn't see a defense better than those two in Ohio
State and LSU. I thought Florida State did some nice things,
but I didn't see the talent.
Speaker 2: Like when I'm watching.
Speaker 3: And the scheme matches up with the talent and also
the effort, like all three of those things.
Speaker 2: Those things come together.
Speaker 3: College football, Oh my gosh, it's like football erotica. You're like,
this is how it's supposed to be played. They had it,
LSU had it, And LSU's offense is capable of more,
but you saw more from their offense. Like I don't
know what level Ohio State's offense can get to because
they played a damn good defense too in Texas. But
that defense for the Buckeyes, they got Jimmies and Joe's
on all three levels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we watched the film of LSU Clemson and
you're you're looking at it and your comparison to other
college teams. So I know Dabo has got a terrible
grading scale for his team and our team. I think
that you know that. I think both teams for a
first game of the year executed really well. And you're
exactly right. When talent meets scheme meets effort, man, it's
a beautiful thing to watch in college football. And you're
really good if all those things add up. Because we're
watching games other people play college football games, so other
people other people's eleven on eleven tape, and we make
the comment to each other all the time. Now this
comes because we had we studied NFL football for so long.
College football is sometimes it's bad football. Like there's people
open everywhere. There's they're wide open everywhere that quarterbacks don't
see him. There's mistakes, there's miscommunication because people are still
learning to play football at a high level and they
are still building their football at Q that is, that's
just college football. But it's a beautiful thing. Sometimes it's
a beautiful disaster. Sometimes it's it's it's poetry, emotion. But
when you get a team that can put all those
three things together, it is fantastastic. But I watched that
film LSU and Clemson, and I don't see that bad
football that I see when I watch other I don't
see the mistakes. I don't see the people just fighting
running Scott Free right. Oh, the miscommunications now, it happens.
But that's the difference between the high quality teams and
the lower quality teams. But it also has to do
with the competition you're playing as well. Like they were
mentally all in mentally and at both Ohio State both LSU,
they had a lot to focus on it. I mean,
you're dealing with eighteen to twenty two year old kids
right right, like, and you're focused on how can I
get them ready? Well, you don't have to do anything
to get them ready for those big games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like you can tell Matt Patricia, who longtime
NFL coordinator was a head coach at one time. It
didn't go great, we all know that, but still was
you know somebody that the NFL thirty two of the
spots thought he was good enough to be a head
coach at one time. He knows ball, and he put
like his knowledge on their plate and they were able
to handle it like they were just some stuff that normally,
like college football, you can't really get done.
Speaker 2: It's like just line up in it and we hope
it works. Like they were. They were doing a really
nice job.
Speaker 3: And Arch was in a blender, like he had no
idea where it was coming from, which coverage they were
going to be in, and like typically in college football
you don't see that level of pre snap stuff.
Speaker 2: Arch and k Club same guy right now, Yeah, l
S you put Kate in a blender. They did, no
doubt they didn't know where he was coming from. I
didn't know where he was coming like, I didn't know what.
But so I'm not going to put a name to it.
But I was on the Ponderosa yesterday. I don't know,
I know the clock. We were on the Ponderosa yesterday,
and there we go again. That's what I know. I
love it. It's great called that he sounds sophisticated.
Speaker 3: And I was talking with some defensive players and they
they were not happy with the assessment that l s
U you know, got a sixty eight or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: Dabo said, They're like, did like it was the same film?
Like that? That was what was puzzling to me.
Speaker 3: It's like, did you not like LSU's defense was smothering
cake because that but was very critical of Kate too. No,
they just from the very beginning they confused him, and
then they were hitting him, and then the pressure got
to him. And then even when LSU didn't bring pressure
him a few times they didn't. He sped his mechanics
up so much because he's like, oh my god, I
don't want to get hit again and I don't have
any time. And so you have to credit the game
plan for changing a veteran quarterbacks thought process and mechanics
because he thought that he had to get rid of
the football even when he didn't necessarily as quick because
of the success that LSU had. That's not you know
k didn't play it. No, that's because the game plan
worked and you got a good quarterback off his marker
like you got to give credit where credit's due.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Like you can say you played bad, you can't say
that LSU's defense didn't play great, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: And I think that I think that some people off,
I know, and I think in the shit, you got
to look for everything that to piss you off, to
give you motivation. But I really do think it was
a throwaway comment by Dabbo, just saying like it's week one,
there's a lot of improvement to do. He wants to
leave room for the improvement, right, So I get that.
Will defend that a little bit, but I ain't defending nothing,
but like, at least give your opponent like an a like,
if you're going to lose the opponent, at least.
Speaker 3: Give them where you learned your grading system there. We
we ain't got the same one, but they did credit
or credits due.
Speaker 2: We took advantage of a weakness that you could see
on film a K Club mccad and that was getting
through regressions, dissecting what the defense is doing, reading safeties,
reading blitzers, and that's a weakness of us. Yeah, and
I can't wait to see what the game plan is
going to look like. Saturday.
Speaker 3: Can't wait to see what it's going to look like
against a guy like DJ Lagway.
Speaker 2: So we'll see.
Speaker 3: The LSU defense certainly still seems really fired.
Speaker 2: Up about the performance they had and they want to
prove it yet again.
Speaker 3: All right, let's take a break more OTB when we
come back here on one of four to five ESPN.
