Speaking of listening to all three hours, heyday, 127 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,079 what's up. 128 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,399 Speaker 5: Dude, what's going on? So you know, you and I 129 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:09,319 had this conversation before the show.

I told you, like I I 132 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:18,759 had heard an audio clip of her on a podcast, 133 00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:20,120 but it wasn't any video associated. 134 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: It's like talking that how chronically online you are that yours. 135 00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,079 Speaker 5: I'm only does I'm saying, I'm only really on TikTok. 136 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,560 So I guess you just didn't never popped up in 137 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:38,319 my algorithm. But I will admit we look similar. You 138 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,399 made that joke and you were like, Tyler, this isn't 139 00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:44,160 even a photoshop picture. That's what she actually looked like. 140 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, let me look dissimilar. 141 00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:50,199 Speaker 5: We could be relative. You could be like, yeah, yeah, 142 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,079 we we we do look somewhat similar. So that was 143 00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:57,240 an interesting way to get the day started. I guess 144 00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,839 we're all moving in slow motion because I like literally 145 00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:02,600 did and set Jake's mic up. And the funniest thing 146 00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:05,600 about it is we were actually all in here like 147 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:07,519 five minutes before the show, just chit chatting. 148 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,639 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, just no, look, don't put that, don't put that. 149 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,839 Move so on me.

So, yeah, we are off 168 00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:04,559 of Spotify right now, but we're trying to get back on. 169 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:13,039 Speaker 2: I wonder this is not a conversation that needs to 170 00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:22,799 happen on air, but I wonder why some of the warnings. 171 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: Behind Okay okay, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, I can tell 172 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:24,440 you the story. 173 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, good, you can fill me in a 174 00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:32,039 bit later, Yeah says Yeah. Goggie says, going up to 175 00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:34,120 someone's house and screaming at them is definitely the move 176 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,399 to bring them over to your side. Yeah, Sue. I 177 00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:38,440 think that's one of the things that's also just led 178 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:44,720 to my cynicism is nobody changes their mind about anything. 179 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,440 We're all stuck in all of our algorithmic bubbles where 180 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,279 all we do is have all of our opinions reinforced 181 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,559 by evidence. And I'm using evidence in air quotes because 182 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,240 it's just evidence that agrees with stuff that you want 183 00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,159 to hear, and so nobody's mind is getting changed. It 184 00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:04,279 doesn't matter, dude, Just treat people nice. 185 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: You know, like minding your business is so easy. 186 00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: I mean to be fair, Yes, it is easy to 187 00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:14,559 not go over and yell at your neighbor about a 188 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,960 Trump or. 189 00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: I don't get any political stuff in my algorithm right now. 190 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,840 And this conversation is going to screw me. U phone's 191 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,639 gonna hear y'all talking. You're gonna mess me up. 192 00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 5: Wait a minute, This was not somebody in your neighborhood. 193 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,759 This was somebody driving by. Yeah, just how on the 194 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,799 hinge that you're just cruising right? You got the pretty 195 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,519 trees on a Launder Street hanging road, like it's it's 196 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,440 a nice drive, and like you're just so enraged at 197 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,120 a sign or a flag or whatever you feel the 198 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,720 need to get out, like that's a problem. 199 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,039 Speaker 2: I don't, I don't disagree. 200 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,279 Speaker 5: Like I look from someone who almost had a bad 201 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,360 case of road rage last night. Mine was justified. This 202 00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:02,080 one was not. 203 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: How do you how do you not quantify? How do 204 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,679 you defined? Almost have almost had a bad case. 205 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,759 Speaker 5: There wasn't anybody to yell at. 206 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,919 Speaker 2: So what happened? 207 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 5: So okay, So this was again, this was not my fault. 208 00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:19,399 This was whoever decides to work on the roads in 209 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,919 our state of Louisiana. They just do a phenomenal job 210 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,840 of shutting down the interstate to one lane at eight 211 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,000 o'clock at night. Decided to do that. 212 00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:30,639 Speaker 2: Nobody's on the road at eight o'clock. 213 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 5: Well, I set in traffic for thirty minutes, so I 214 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,639 beg that I was dead stop. Yeah, dead stopped. I 215 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,159 was on the road. And also here's the worst part. 216 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:41,799 Speaker 2: Do you know what? 217 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,639 Speaker 5: The only vehicle on the road was the damn dude 218 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,120 putting out the orange cones. There was no construction. There 219 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:51,559 was not a single construction truck. I go down that 220 00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:54,279 raid all the time though there's nothing that needs fixing. 221 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,200 They're not fixing anything. Why are you setting up cones 222 00:11:57,399 --> 00:12:00,159 and you go from three lanes down till one eat 223 00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:02,320 o'clock at night? I don't know, maybe do that, I 224 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,799 don't know. Midnight when like nobody's on the road, there's 225 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,519 a thought. This is just just an idea, just throwing 226 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,279 that one out there. 227 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: So you were you were, you were tiffed. You were 228 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,399 miffed at the not at a singular person, but just 229 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,320 at the idea that you would you would choose to 230 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:19,519 do this? 231 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,039 Speaker 5: Why why would you do that? Also, it caused the 232 00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:24,840 rat Do you want to point that out? It caused 233 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,639 the rat because people are trying to change lanes at 234 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,039 last minute because they're idiots, and somebody hid somebody else 235 00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:31,519 from behind. Then they had to pull over, and I'm like, cool. 236 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,600 I hope putting out the orange cones and sit in 237 00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:36,000 one cop car there to block things off was worth it. 238 00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:37,120 Hope that was worth it. 239 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: I had a similar moment recently where I was trying 240 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,639 to rush home. I had to get to an event 241 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,600 with my It was a dance is after after Rous's 242 00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:51,639 on a Friday. We had the Daddy daughter dance. I 243 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,440 really wanted to be home by X time because I 244 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,120 wanted to take her out to eat before we went 245 00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:00,759 to the dance. And I've never see anything like this. 246 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,080 I should have filmed it, but instead all I did 247 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,360 was lean my head out the window and repeatedly yell, 248 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,720 what in the f are y'all doing? 249 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 5: That's what I wanted to do. 250 00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,919 Speaker 2: Are y'all dumb? This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. 251 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,799 They had a home on a flatbed, on a big 252 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,240 eight miller flatbed, and they're going down Perkins right there 253 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,799 Perkins Seagan, where there's a bunch of trees crowding this 254 00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:28,799 two lane road. The flatbed is extended outside of both 255 00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:32,320 lanes and they have five or six workers on top 256 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,200 of the house as it's moving with chainsaws, cutting down 257 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,759 branches so the tree can get through. At it's five 258 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:45,399 pm on a Friday. It was unbelievable. I ended up 259 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,080 taking the minivan off roading on a sidewalk through some 260 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,320 trees to get into a parking lot that connected my 261 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,360 neighborhood to get in, and as I was going by them, 262 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,639 I just repeatedly telling them, this is the dumbest thing 263 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,879 I've ever had, what the hell are you doing? And 264 00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:07,120 of course a lot of like fews, there was every 265 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,960 yelling at them. Everybody's yelling, and I'm like, these guys 266 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,519 can't do anything about it. I mean, they could have 267 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,039 chose a different route. I mean, I'm talking about the 268 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,519 boots on the ground. I'm not talking about whoever made 269 00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:20,159 the high level decisions. I'm talking about the poor guy's 270 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,360 boots on the ground who are sitting on top of 271 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:25,919 a moving home having to actively cut down branches to 272 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,039 clear a path for this house. It was just a 273 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,799 bad idea that they got caught in the middle of 274 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,039 poor guys. 275 00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 5: Speak speaking of speaking of all that, while we're on 276 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:38,840 the topic, yesterday in the roundabout at Walker, an eighteen 277 00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:42,320 wheeler going too fast turned over shut it down for 278 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,840 four hours. 279 00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: Oh and it sucks you because roundabouts are such wonderful 280 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,759 solutions to traffic normally, but I've never been it, That's 281 00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:53,799 what I say.

And Heavener was 354 00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:14,599 a couple of outs away from doing a no hitter. 355 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,880 I mean this LSU softball team again, conference plays what's 356 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,640 going to decide all and it's an incredible conference as 357 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,640 all ways, But this LSU softball team looks different this year. 358 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 5: Think about how good Heavener is. She threw a one 359 00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:34,759 hit shutout and like just kind of seems run of 360 00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:37,279 the mill at this point. Yeah, and like to your point, 361 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,119 like I actually had to do the game last night. 362 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,880 Hitch he gave up was like a single in the fifth, 363 00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:44,559 and like it was the last one team, it doesn't 364 00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:47,480 matter like its a single in the fifth, But I mean, 365 00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:49,720 you know you're going through it and you're like, hey, 366 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,160 she hadn't given up any hits. You're like, oh, I 367 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,559 mean we've seen this multiple times this year, Like that's 368 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,640 just how good she's been. 369 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,559 Speaker 2: It definitely looks different. 370 00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 3: I mean, they they've got what one loss on the season, 371 00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:01,720 They've played some really good teams, They've beaten a top 372 00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,640 five team already this year, and so now they get 373 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,359 a chance to go into SEC play going against a 374 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,359 Kentucky at home. Now, as we know, like in SEC softball, 375 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,559 everybody's good and everybody always makes the tournament. But I mean, 376 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:19,359 you know you're better than Kentucky. Like Kentucky's twenty third 377 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,799 in the country. You're fourth in the country, so and 378 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,720 you're at home, so you have that advantage. And I 379 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,039 think that's great for them to be able to kind 380 00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:29,319 of build an SEC play with an opponent that I 381 00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:31,279 would be surprised if they don't take at least two 382 00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:33,319 of three, and so they're gonna have an opportunity to 383 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,119 kind of create that momentum, keep that momentum going as 384 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,880 they head into SEC play and then they go to 385 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,480 Georgia in their second series. And so all signs are 386 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,799 pointing to this being like a championship level softball team. 387 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: I agree, And so it pairs nicely then with what 388 00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:54,480 looks like it could be a championship level baseball team. 389 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,720 As last night in their final tune up before conference 390 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,960 play starts this week and against Miszoo in the box, 391 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,440 LSU Baseball absolutely blows away Xavier kochie Riley with a 392 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,839 great stat in Today's Times Picky un The Advocate, as 393 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,240 well Nold dot Com wherever you get quote the second 394 00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:22,400 largest lead through the first three innings since twenty fourteen, 395 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,680 So the second largency that had the firs three innings 396 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,400 in a decade. As LSU hung seventeen by the end 397 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,079 of the third seven three seven, Curial, Bear Pearson, Brown 398 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,480 Reeves all had multi hit games, final score eighteen to four, 399 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:44,880 seven innings, and this team looks ready. I have a 400 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,119 question I don't want to post to you all in 401 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,240 a minute, but takeaways from last night's game and really 402 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,640 the preseason in general up to this point. 403 00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I would just say the depth of this 404 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,559 LSU baseball team that we talked about, and we could 405 00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:00,960 talk about it as much as we we have, there's 406 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,279 certain seasons we've talked about it and it hasn't been 407 00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:05,359 the case. The depth that we thought was there just 408 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,839 wasn't there. But this one was different because of what 409 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,680 you brought in through high school recruiting, through the transfer portal. 410 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:13,359 You got so many people through high school recruiting that honestly, 411 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,799 you never thought would be on campus. And that's an 412 00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:18,799 added benefit. I mean, we're talking about guys that you 413 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,359 thought for sure, we're going to be in the minor 414 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,039 leagues right now, and so, okay, well what do you 415 00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:26,519 do with that depth? And well, they've done a lot 416 00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:29,000 with it, and they've had multiple players that have had 417 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,920 great runs already here in this young season and now 418 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,119 gives you the opportunity to really create what you feel 419 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,480 like is going to be a mismatch for your opponent, 420 00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:39,640 and you got so many different puzzle pieces that you 421 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,880 can play with. Now you have to figure out, you know, 422 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,720 a core group of guys. Certainly as you head into 423 00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:48,480 conference play, you don't want to be, you know, tinkering 424 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:51,160 too much. But so far, Jay's done a really nice 425 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,079 job of figuring out who needs to be where, and so, like, 426 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,240 I'm excited to see where all this depth can kind 427 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,000 of go as you go into conference play and it 428 00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:00,319 kind of tightens a little bit. You probably could three 429 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,880 or four players that have been getting pinch hits or 430 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,160 maybe they've been a defensive sub well that that might 431 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,519 go away. But you've got a really good core group 432 00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:10,559 to choose from depending on who's on the mound or 433 00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:12,079 whoever for the other team. 434 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 2: So, speaking of tinkering, that's the question I wanted to 435 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,200 ask Alandra Tanner Reeves. Is he your third baseman going 436 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,519 into conference play? He started five games in a row 437 00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:26,359 there braswell of course started the season there, but he's 438 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,920 been struggling at the plate. Reeves Reeves has been doing 439 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,920 anything but struggling at the plate. In fact, last night 440 00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:33,880 closes out the scoring with a nice little grand slam 441 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,119 to push from thirteen to thirteen. Is Tanner Reeves the 442 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,680 third baseman going into conference play? 443 00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:39,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he has to be. 444 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,599 Speaker 1: And you know, like I love Michael Braswell, and I 445 00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:44,759 think he has We've seen it. He has a lot 446 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:47,440 of potential and he's great at third base, but the 447 00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:50,119 bats just not doing what he was doing last season. 448 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,559 So if Tanner Reeves is out there producing grand slams 449 00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:57,319 like that and every time he's been was that like 450 00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:00,440 his second home run? I think he's hit one already. 451 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,039 Speaker 2: Did I read second and four days? Yeah? 452 00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: He hit when this pass? 453 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 4: So yeah he Yeah. 454 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: I mean Tanner Reeves I think has to be your 455 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,759 third baseman, uh, coming into SEC play, just because he's 456 00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,480 been more productive at the plate than Michael Braswell has been. 457 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,319 Speaker 2: And as far as Braswell goes, I look, I can 458 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,519 empathize here in terms of Okay, you're senior, you were 459 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,400 such key piece last year, you come back this year, 460 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,599 and now right at the edge of conference play, you 461 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,079 kind of find yourself on the outside looking in. That 462 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:35,920 is a very tough spot mentally to be that could 463 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,759 be very demotivating. But the worst thing that Michael Braswell 464 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:43,640 could do right now would be to allow that to happen. 465 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,000 And you have to really lock into that mantra that 466 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,119 we've heard Jay Johnson talk about, big we, little me 467 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,200 and because your time's gonna come, Like this is a 468 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,960 sport in a game with ebbs and flows, where who 469 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,960 knows how Reeves does when you suddenly jump in a 470 00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:02,119 conference play, Because wasn't that one of the big separating 471 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,759 factors with Braswell, like he struggled to actually last year 472 00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:06,559 out of conference you got into SEC play and his 473 00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:08,519 bat was one of the most consistent towards. 474 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 5: The end of the year. He was your what top 475 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,359 three four hitter on the team. 476 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 2: Yes, So just all he can do is keep the 477 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,359 blinders on head And this goes for anybody who's upset 478 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,119 with their playing time right now, but especially the upper 479 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,160 Classic because that's kind of a tough that hurts a 480 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,160 little more. But you keep your head down, keep the 481 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,359 blinders on, you keep working, You trust your process, and 482 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,119 your moment will come and if if you've handled things 483 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,240 well and correctly. It's not to say that you're guaranteed 484 00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:41,200 going to succeed in the moment, but you give yourself 485 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,000 the best chance of succeeding in the moment, and that's 486 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000 that's what Braswell and anybody else needs to do well. 487 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: That's a good point about like he did really well 488 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,200 an SEC play last season. 489 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 4: Though, it is like, you got to think they're. 490 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: Used to SEC level competition because even before he came 491 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,039 to LSU, he was at South Carol and then people 492 00:26:01,079 --> 00:26:03,880 like Tanner Reeves and like the new people coming from 493 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,519 the Juco's and the freshmen they're us. Yeah, you talk 494 00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:11,000 about they're used to the competition that we're playing now. 495 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,079 So it could be just, you know, you got to 496 00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:16,640 get back into your swing of things, and right now 497 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,720 Tanner Reeves is facing competition that he's used to seeing. 498 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,200 So it might be like, Okay, we get into SEC 499 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,480 play and Michael Braswell ends up doing better than Tanner Reeves. 500 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 4: We don't know. 501 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, We'll see now. I hope that's 502 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:31,240 not the case, because these bats are so hot right now, 503 00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:33,480 not in the Brasil specifically, but just that these you 504 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,759 know that all these new guys aren't just taking advantage 505 00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:40,319 of seeing uh that and everything doesn't fall off a clip. 506 00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:42,039 I don't expect it. Well, of course there's gonna be 507 00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:45,119 a regression, because there's gonna be a regression. Go look, 508 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,960 we laid it out yesterday. Look at the overall records 509 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:53,559 of all SEC teams. Everybody's a seventeen and one eye. 510 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,279 Exactly what you do? Guys, you never wanna you never 511 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:01,599 it might should I even say that? I've been being 512 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,480 accused of being a mush all out of time lately. Yes, 513 00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:08,799 so you don't what what does that mean? Kind are 514 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,400 what does that mean? Are you big mush? Okay okay, 515 00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:16,240 yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Instead of blaming the athletes, 516 00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:17,880 how about you blame me? Sure? 517 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: That makes it well umsat Canada and hockey and then 518 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,279 we did the whole free birth thing and they lost. 519 00:27:24,839 --> 00:27:25,799 Speaker 2: That's not my fault. 520 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 5: They did start that, Todd McDavid's fault. 521 00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: But also, like Ibu, I loath the idea of a mush. 522 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,400 It's it's it's like my wife clowning. You know. Years ago, 523 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,640 do you ever heard a conversation after Big l SU 524 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,279 come back football win, two bros talking and what I 525 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,359 was like, dude at halftime, I went a change into 526 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,759 the shirt that I wore last week, and like everything changed. 527 00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:56,119 It's like, okay, yes, exactly, thank you. That that is 528 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:56,839 what I mean. 529 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,519 Speaker 3: You did not cut your hair or beard in the 530 00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:00,960 nineteen season because of that. 531 00:28:01,319 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh well no, so you know what that 532 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,839 became not my personal belief, but God helped me. I 533 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,960 knew if I cut it and then LSU lost the 534 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,240 amountain rap that I would get. I was like, no, no, no, no, 535 00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:18,480 no chance am I opening myself up to that level 536 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,119 of attack. I could see Nookie and everybody else like 537 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,279 look of Fonds and said it's his last year, t Mush. 538 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:28,240 I could see everybody just waiting to pounce on me 539 00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:30,680 like like a like a like their vultures, and I'm 540 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:37,480 a freshly dead carcass. Not today, guys, not today, el, 541 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:43,480 you should sweep this weekend? Oh my god, do you 542 00:28:43,519 --> 00:28:46,599 remember last year swept? We had. 543 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: We had somebody from Mississippi State on and he was 544 00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:54,119 like basically like, oh yeah, Mississippi State's not that good. 545 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,599 Speaker 2: Yes, And we were like this, he's playing awesome, you 546 00:28:57,839 --> 00:29:01,119 are gonna come out there whoop that ass. And well, 547 00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:04,279 little did we know, even though again though we were 548 00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:07,960 being kind of willfully ignorant because the red flags were there. 549 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:11,279 They were in out of conference play unlike this year, 550 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,839 and we ignored the red flags out of just sheer 551 00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:18,319 belief and we quickly learn now credit to that team 552 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,599 how they ended up finding their way. But this year 553 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,240 does feel different, the same way that softball feels different. 554 00:29:24,279 --> 00:29:26,119 This year baseball feels different this year. 555 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:28,799 Speaker 4: I don't even have the runners left on base concern. 556 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: Again, they're going to leave a lot of runners on 557 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,559 because they put a lot of runners on, so be 558 00:29:35,799 --> 00:29:39,960 careful falling into too many traps there. And now there's 559 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,720 gonna be nights where that does happen and you only 560 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:46,039 score one or two and it's very frustrating. But overall, yeah, 561 00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:48,759 I don't think that's going to be a big issue 562 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:52,720 with this team. All right, So there it is. Man 563 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,440 very excited, will continue to I think maybe tomorrow do 564 00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:58,000 like a like a Mazoo preview. I mean, we know 565 00:29:58,039 --> 00:30:00,279 they're eight and eight, they're lasting the SEC. They're by 566 00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:02,839 far the worst team and the SEC there team E 567 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,039 r A is awful. Like you want to talk about 568 00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:07,920 the bats getting off LSU's absolutely should pull do a 569 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,960 deeper dive. Uh Tomorrow yeah, look at Daniel in the chat. No, man, serious, 570 00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:15,039 this needs to be a sweep. Don't be scared to 571 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:19,160 say what's what? Hell yeah, hell yeah, Daniel, let's go. 572 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,160 It's like it's like, okay, remember a couple of weeks ago, 573 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,720 we're talking to coach Jay Clark for the Oklahoma meet. Yeah, 574 00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:27,920 and you know I'm mentioning all the streaks and like, 575 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,240 oh no, no, no, you're the champ. Champ, don't concern 576 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:34,559 itself with all that bs.

Yeah, do it sweet incoming call all 579 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:50,400 right when he get back. Saints getting active? But is 580 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,759 it good?

I hope you're 609 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,839 having a good one. Bomb New Orleans Saints getting active 610 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,160 yesterday in free agency. Do we want to start with 611 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:25,759 the good, the bad or the ugly. The good. I 612 00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:29,160 would say the good is signing Justin Reid, chief safety, 613 00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:36,200 Louisiana native, brother of Eric Reid, seven year starter all 614 00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:38,920 seven years he's been in the NFL, A man who's 615 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,240 won championships with Kansas City. He's twenty eight years old, 616 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:48,960 in his physical prime there and it's a solid value deal. 617 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,079 Three years, thirty one and a half million, twenty two 618 00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:56,920 to five guaranteed you lose Will Harrison free agency. You 619 00:32:57,079 --> 00:32:59,920 reworked Tyrant's contract yesterday and again shout out the time 620 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,680 everyon'll get into his contract, and a bit the man 621 00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:04,759 continues to put it on for the hometown. You know, 622 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,680 the return of the prodigal Sun, forced to go find 623 00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:11,880 his fortune elsewhere. Now that he's back, he continues to 624 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,680 be all in Tyron does. And now you pair him 625 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,799 with another native son of Louisiana. I love the idea 626 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:29,000 of this all Louisiana safety group, you know, this pairy 627 00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:32,119 and this tag team taking the field for your New 628 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,920 Orleans stats. Also, I think their skill sets match up nicely. 629 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,200 Tiring can be more of that kind of deep guy, 630 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:42,039 bit of playmaker and read maybe a bit more around 631 00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:45,200 the box. He's an excellent run stopper. You look at 632 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,119 where the same scene helped the run defense was got 633 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,680 awful last year. He would look like he would be 634 00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:54,759 a key edition in that regard. So I really like 635 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,400 the Justin Reid mood. 636 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly considering what we thought they had available, right. 637 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,319 And so you get a player that has proven himself 638 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,799 multiple organizations in the NFL, like you said, coming back 639 00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:10,159 home and really does play well off tyr. And so 640 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,639 now you have a defensive backfield that's going to have 641 00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:15,679 Alonte Taylor. It's gonna have Justin Reed, Tyron Matthew and 642 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,840 Koolai McKinstry. And so like you hope that kool A 643 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,079 because I mean you were bullish on him a year ago. Yeah, 644 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,880 you move up to select him, you hope he takes 645 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,400 that next step because you know Paul clon Deebo's now 646 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,679 in New York, so he's gonna have to step up. 647 00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 2: He's gonna have to be the guy. 648 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 3: And then you now have a third safety and a 649 00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:37,920 Jordan Howden thatck and because he's had flashes, man, there's 650 00:34:38,039 --> 00:34:40,360 been good for him, there's been a lot of bad too, 651 00:34:40,559 --> 00:34:42,960 like his feast or famine. It feels like for him, 652 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,599 but now like he can be a rotational piece, he 653 00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:47,679 can kind of be in the background and you know, 654 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,519 not a bad solid choice if you need him to play. 655 00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:52,760 So it opens up kind of some depth there as well, 656 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,519 if you find the right nickel press, pretty solid defensive backfield. 657 00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:59,159 Speaker 2: Which who they have young and old, you know, kind 658 00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:02,280 of a great mixture of everything. And it is interesting 659 00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:05,400 you seem to be Kellen Moore does at least this point, 660 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,400 and maybe because in the draft he'll start to supplement 661 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,079 the offense some more. But he seems to be trying 662 00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:14,360 to help out Brandon Staley a bit, right. Yeah, yeah, 663 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,079 you bringing Godshaw, you bring back Chase Young, which, as 664 00:35:18,119 --> 00:35:21,239 we said, maybe a bit of an overpay, but that 665 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,920 the context is the context. You don't really have a 666 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,159 way around it. I think you're still better with Chase 667 00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:30,480 Young on the team than you are with him off. Now, 668 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,320 if we want to get into that was the good, 669 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,400 I want to get into the bad and the ugly. 670 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:40,760 It's the Juwan Johnson deal. Juwan Johnson five hundred yard 671 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,480 tight end, fifty catches, three tuds last season, a lot 672 00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:48,280 of that coming at the end of the year when 673 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,719 really he was the only guy left on the field, 674 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,760 so those numbers may even be a bit this even 675 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:58,119 in that way, Juwan Johnson signs a three year, thirty 676 00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:01,840 million dollars deal. I can get all the way up 677 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,320 to thirty four and a half million with the Simmons 678 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:10,280 twenty one and a quarter guaranteed eleventh highest paid tight 679 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:15,679 end in the league, and I just don't know. Now, Again, 680 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,519 this does kind of reinforce the idea that we've been 681 00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:19,880 seen all around the NFL free agency is weak. Teams 682 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,920 are having to overpay to keep their guys because of that. 683 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,840 But man, I do not know what he has done 684 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,639 up to this point to earn this cop Like they're 685 00:36:28,679 --> 00:36:33,039 paying for potential here, they're not paying for any production 686 00:36:33,199 --> 00:36:37,480 that's been done up to this point. That contract. 687 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 3: When I saw it, and I'm not trying to be 688 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,000 funny here, I was like, oh, that was supposed to 689 00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:44,119 be twenty yeah. That wasn't supposed to be thirty yeah. 690 00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:46,000 And I say that not to say that he can't 691 00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,199 be really good in the passing game. Like you laid 692 00:36:48,199 --> 00:36:51,000 out the stats, that's fine, that's fine stats. But he's 693 00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:54,599 a one trick pony. Yeah, doesn't block well. Last year 694 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,039 pass blocking which has a tight end in the NFL, 695 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:03,519 even if you're Travis Kelce, Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, you 696 00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:05,599 got to be able to pass protect. I mean, you're 697 00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:07,639 going to be in line. No matter if you're an 698 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,760 F or a Y, You're still going to at times 699 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,239 be in line. He graded out at twenty percent gross. 700 00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:17,360 In the run game, he graded out at fifty one 701 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,880 point four percent disgusting place tight end. Again, he's an F. 702 00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:23,480 He's not a why false moro is more of a why. 703 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,199 But you got to be able to give me something. 704 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,679 And so does his receiving skills outweigh all what I 705 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,880 just talked about. I don't think so. I think he's 706 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,000 a good receiving tight end. I don't think he's a 707 00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:37,519 great one. 708 00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:41,119 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, with your knowledge of NFL 709 00:37:41,679 --> 00:37:46,199 ORG structure, do you think this is Kellen Moore saying, look, 710 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,199 I think I can get more out of this guy. 711 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,599 I want to keep him here. Or is this Mickey 712 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,760 saying we'd we're keeping him here? You would hope it's 713 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,599 like if it's Kellen Moore. My point of that is, 714 00:37:56,639 --> 00:37:58,400 if it's Keil Moore, you're at least like, okay, whatever, 715 00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:59,719 let the new coach do what he wants to do 716 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,360 and let him go prove it. But if it's Mickey, 717 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,599 I mean, there's just no trust left in him. 718 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 5: At this point. 719 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,760 Speaker 2: Okay, So so you asked that. 720 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, they played the Eagles last year, right. His 721 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,960 offensive grade for that game overall was a twenty nine 722 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,760 point six. He had a fifty receiving grade, a twelve 723 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,280 pass blocking grade, in a thirty three run blocking grade. 724 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 2: So it wasn't that game that would have convinced Kellen Surta. 725 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,519 So I like, you know, and he played twenty eight plays, 726 00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:34,239 I don't know that it would have been that game. 727 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,079 Speaker 3: It's not to say that he hasn't watched tape or 728 00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:38,119 he doesn't have a belief, but I mean, Dallas Godd 729 00:38:38,159 --> 00:38:40,920 it was somebody that was pivotal in the Eagles offense. 730 00:38:41,159 --> 00:38:43,840 So they needed they, you know, tight ends important, Yeah 731 00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:46,039 to them. I mean, ever, going back to when he 732 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,599 was with the Chargers, who do you have in Dallas Tate, Like, 733 00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:50,880 who was the tight end that it was? 734 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:52,199 Speaker 2: Okay? 735 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he had some some big time so they 736 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,239 you have to have a tight end in this Kellen 737 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,639 More offense for sure. Now you just have to try 738 00:39:01,679 --> 00:39:03,559 to figure out was it the front office that said, no, 739 00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:05,840 we got the guy, or is it Keller. Moore's like, no, 740 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,320 I think I can get what I've gotten out of 741 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,960 these other Titans from him. I hope it was more 742 00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:12,800 because it wasn't the Eagles game last year. 743 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:13,159 Speaker 5: For sure. 744 00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 2: When we get back, I want to talk about the 745 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,199 same straft picks, Tyron, Matthew, keep you locked, otb off 746 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,400 the bench, Get Gordon and get it done.

Tyre Matthew, I have 768 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,800 not heard any sound played today. Who is this? 769 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,039 Speaker 4: This is Randy Rogers? 770 00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 2: Okay, Hi, Randy good country name Randy Rogers. 771 00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 4: Cody Jinks was before and Charlie Robinson was before that? 772 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 2: Wait, who was before Randy Rodgers? 773 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 4: Cody James? 774 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:55,119 Speaker 2: Well done? Uh, Tyre Matthew agrees to new reworked deal. 775 00:40:57,199 --> 00:41:00,639 The man wants to be here. Okay. Took a pay 776 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,559 cut and it's a pretty interesting deal here, Jake. It's 777 00:41:04,559 --> 00:41:07,960 a one year deal where every like how much he 778 00:41:08,119 --> 00:41:12,320 makes is solely dependent on playing time. It's a three 779 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,840 and a half million dollar base that goes up to 780 00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:18,559 four million if he plays fifty to fifty nine point 781 00:41:18,639 --> 00:41:21,280 nine percent of the STAPs four point five. If he 782 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,280 breaks into sixty percent of the snaps anywhere in the 783 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,800 seventies gets him to five two five, anywhere in the 784 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,880 eighties gets into six two five, and then if he 785 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,119 plays over ninety percent of stamps, he gets to a 786 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,239 full seven two five. So Tyn Matthew team friendly, taking 787 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,880 a taking a pay cut and betting on himself and saying, okay, 788 00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:45,800 let me prove it with availability to maximize how much 789 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,840 I make this year. I mean, that is about as 790 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,400 hometown team friendly as you could get. And regardless of 791 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,840 what you think about his level play on the field 792 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,119 right now, that should engender some goodwill from you. 793 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 3: Well, if you look at how it went last year 794 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,519 and you looking at the flow of it, he started 795 00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:04,239 out incredibly strong and then where he got into trouble 796 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,719 was about week seven against the Broncos, so the Broncos, 797 00:42:08,039 --> 00:42:13,400 Chargers Panthers weeks. He really struggled there, but he did 798 00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:16,840 bounce back and really finished the season strong and finished 799 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,440 on a different level of play than he played at 800 00:42:20,519 --> 00:42:22,800 in the middle of the season. So that's what you 801 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,880 hope it look, you know, Tyronn, tell you this. I mean, 802 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,159 he's an older player, right, and so some of those 803 00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:30,480 things are going to happen within a seventeen game season. 804 00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:34,119 But I wouldn't want to get him off this team, 805 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,360 not with some of the young defensive backs that you have. 806 00:42:36,559 --> 00:42:39,360 He still can give you something himself. I think is 807 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,239 a great mentor as well. And now you bring in 808 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,400 a player that is better at what you were asking 809 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,960 Tyron to do when you bring in Red. So I 810 00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:50,119 do think it's going to free him up to be 811 00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:52,239 a little bit more of a playmaker, which that's when 812 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,920 he's at his best. And so not just because it's 813 00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:57,280 Tyron and he's our friend and he played at LSU. 814 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 2: No, I think this is a. 815 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 3: Solid move for the Saints, considering he's taking less money, 816 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,679 he's betting on himself, and I think he can give 817 00:43:03,679 --> 00:43:05,840 you added benefit not only on the field, but in 818 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,880 the meeting rooms as well. 819 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not getting anybody better than Tyre Matthew, especially 820 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,239 from a price to production standpoint, not even close. So 821 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,440 shout out the best football player I've ever shared a 822 00:43:17,519 --> 00:43:20,159 locker room with. I am biased. I love him and 823 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,199 I can't wait to watch him and read kick Ass 824 00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:24,360 this fall more Hour two next 825 00:43:25,159 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 5: Off the bench
