Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn Amsday.
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester.
Speaker 1: Far from carrying each other to and Natty to carrying
each other on the air Control Live from the Mercedes
Benz Baton Rouge studio.
Speaker 2: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back here now
number three, O t be one O four five ESPN
Beton Rouge. It is quickly becoming my favorite segment of
the week.
Speaker 3: It is now time for a little Deer.
Speaker 4: De Landre the lore.
Speaker 5: It's so funny. So I was trying to get all
these questions.
Speaker 6: I should have told y'all during the break, but I
was gonna see if we could do it.
Speaker 5: But you still do it.
Speaker 4: We can do that.
Speaker 6: We're okay whatever y'all want to do. But I I
have a few that we can do. What were we
going to do a big deal.
Speaker 5: Or no big deal? Would you rather let's see that instead?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 7: So the first question, what would you would you rather?
Speaker 3: Do? It?
Speaker 8: Here?
Speaker 2: Next dear Delandre coming up at nine fifteen, because there
is a ton of questions coming in which we do love.
So we're gonna have Deer de Laundre. So we could
do a little. Would you rather Wednesday? Instead?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fine. We don't have a would you rather think?
Speaker 3: I know we probably should, we should.
Speaker 2: I tried to, but I think we've done this. I
know Flynn and I used to do this at nighttime.
What would you rather Winnesday?
Speaker 3: We got the old graphic pack? Oh there you go?
Speaker 4: When was that graphic from?
Speaker 7: I didn't make it, I just dug it up. I
knew we had one.
Speaker 3: Som right, big sound, that's not there?
Speaker 5: Would you rather?
Speaker 2: Would you rather your team win the SEC but lose
to your rival, or beat your rival but missed the
SEC title game?
Speaker 7: Win the SEC title? My seasons are not defined by
one game.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, he was ready for that.
It's like Ohio State last year. Right yeah.
Speaker 2: Alabama wins national championships all the time without winning their
division back in the day when there was divisions in
the SEC.
Speaker 7: Right like, but like ten years from now that nobody's
gonna care that they lost the mission out.
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 2: Like Jacob Tammy is my boy, Wesley Woodard my boy.
They talked about Kentucky beating us in oh seven. I
don't give a damn. We won a National Championship. Congrats
on the wind though.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not petty like I just I want championships.
I'm tom obviously I want to beat Florida.
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's yeah, lose to Florida.
Speaker 4: Lose Florida. But when it did that, not three.
Speaker 2: I did, that's right, that's before, like y'all, really, I
didn't hate it as much.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, championships all day, that's easy.
Speaker 2: Steve Spurrier definitely started LSU's winning ways against Florida when
he called coach Saban and talked trash about three that
I had never seen and still to this day, I've
never seen coach Saban as mad as. When he told
the story about Spurrier calling him to talk trash about
Florida beating y'all on O three, that man was fired up.
You know who's fired up because he starts holding his hamstring.
Remember that he was holding his hamstring as he was
telling the story. Steve Spurrier, he's the reason that Florida
can't beat LSU very often.
Speaker 7: I can imagine if anybody gets under Nick Saban's skin,
it's Steve. Yeah, I can say that right like that,
that's the guy that's the one, Roger.
Speaker 6: I think I would rather win a championship because, like
Taylor said, my season is not defined by one game,
and I think it falls into the same thing that we,
you know, make fun of other teams about where you're like, oh,
l s U's your super Bowl, you know, and whenever
you beat LSU, they celebrate, they make cups like Texas
eight and four did, and I don't want to.
Speaker 5: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 6: I want to be I want to have a real
championship and not celebrate the fact that we beat Texas
A and M, because we should beat Texas A and M.
Speaker 9: If you beat your rival, you're celebrated. If you win
a championship, you're remembered. Yeah right, thank you, all right.
Would you rather be famous for something you didn't actually
do or be completely unknown and secretly responsible for something
world changing, I'd rather be I'd rather be famous for someone.
Speaker 3: I didn't do.
Speaker 6: I think I would rather be secretly responsible for something
because I would feel like I accomplished something and I
would be proud of myself and I don't need everybody
else to affirm it for me.
Speaker 3: You know, which of these talks not my favorite? Thing
in the world. So if you do something and you're
like really known for it's a lot of small dogs
involved in that. In which and then just like kind
of watch it play out from afar in.
Speaker 7: Which are these scenarios money which make the most money?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 9: No, see famous for something you didn't do or a
complete unknown but you did something, but.
Speaker 3: You did it and so you're getting some kickbacks.
Speaker 4: It says world changing. So if you change in the.
Speaker 3: World, you're getting some dollars.
Speaker 9: I'm saying like maybe like you you came up with
like some cure for disease.
Speaker 3: Again, like if you do that, you're getting dollar dollars.
Not if nobody knows you did it.
Speaker 7: Somebody knows, somebody bought the pack person who stole your
id the ENDNW go, uh give me the money. Yeah,
I don't care.
Speaker 6: So if I'm picking like i'd rather if I'm picking
that I'd rather be not known for the invention that
I invent, and Taylor's picking that he'd rather be famous.
Is Taylor the one who got famous for my invention?
Speaker 7: Right in this scenario, like I'm the only person that
knows she did it, So she didn't get the money
from it because I got the credit for it.
Speaker 9: You could play on a lot of scenarios where it's pretty,
it's gonna be awful. It's an awful thing to put
yourself in because I don't want somebody else getting famous
off what I did right, right, But also, like if
I got a way to like help people and save
people without being known, that's cool, that's great.
Speaker 3: I would choose that.
Speaker 9: But like if I creme up, if I if I
created Google and then Taylor stole it from me and
I got nothing.
Speaker 3: From it and nobody.
Speaker 9: Every time I like try to claim that I made it,
you sue me, right, I.
Speaker 7: Don't, and then I make even more money. That's what
I'm saying. I don't want to be that guy.
Speaker 3: The dog dog girl out there. People seems awful.
Speaker 6: Would you rather be able to talk to animals or
be able to speak every language fluently?
Speaker 4: Speak every.
Speaker 3: I'm talking to animals, I guess, you know. But cool
for a little bit, yeah, like for a week it
would be sweet, you know, Like I mean, doctor Doolittle,
I'm sure he animals are dumb.
Speaker 4: The tiny brains I love my.
Speaker 7: Dog feel like he's probably an a hole. Sometimes I
don't need to have that discussion. Probably like him better
that we can't communicate.
Speaker 9: It would be pretty sweet to be able to like
walk around and just like tell birds to come land
on you and stuff.
Speaker 4: Would be cool. That would cool.
Speaker 3: It'd be a great party.
Speaker 2: You the lady from home alone too, Yeah, you're the
pigeon lady in Central Park.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be sweet.
Speaker 5: But why he could be like snow White.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, I just want to speak every language.
Speaker 9: Or I could be like you go into a horse
racing situation and talk to the horse, say I need
you to.
Speaker 3: Come, say about how you feeling.
Speaker 4: Man, I don't win. This thing came coming third.
Speaker 3: I don't really think they can control that.
Speaker 7: But yeah, because like well, like to a larger spoint,
you go out of the country, you know, like you're
instantly like you already know everything.
Speaker 3: You're good.
Speaker 7: There's no learning curve. If I want to go to Paris,
hard to speak French, good, it seems way more useful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna be able to speak every language. I
just think about the power that would have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I have a lot of power too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, I've choosing that for sure, choosing the animal thing.
It feel like I could do for like ten days,
that'd be sweet.
Speaker 3: But for longevity, job opportunities, wealth building.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, every language.
Speaker 3: All right, you're up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So would you rather you're out in public? Okay,
every time you eat, you got to wear a bib,
or every time you order a drink it comes in
a sippy cup.
Speaker 3: Bib bib's got to be the answer. Bibs are absolutely
practically back in the.
Speaker 7: Day seen in public and nonetheless, but bibb's probably the answer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we've all been to you know, any kind
of like seafood crab boiled type restaurant and and just
kind of be sappies like the.
Speaker 9: Old school, like television, the people would sit down at
the dinner table and they would touch the napkin rut
in their collar right there.
Speaker 3: Oh, sippy cup feels like, I mean, it's hard to
drink out of those.
Speaker 7: Things, Like you're sitting at a bar though they're grown
adults and they give you the sippy cup. Seems bad.
Speaker 9: I like sippy cups would create more in taking more
gas to create more burts because you know you're sipping
it through the little sippy straw situation, And I like
a lot. It's like gurglings like like there's a lot
of water going through there, got of air going through there.
I really thought about this, and I just thought about it.
I just think real fast, Well, I don't know.
Speaker 8: There.
Speaker 2: Would you rather trade your star player for a hall
of future picks or keep them in a risk losing
him for nothing?
Speaker 3: So kind of like the Paul Skans conversation.
Speaker 2: Would you rather have Paul Skans and you're the pirates,
trade him and get six players that are supposed to
be good, or just let it ride, keep Paul Skins
for as long as you can and get nothing in return.
Speaker 6: I think the Pirates are proof that you should do
the former, just do.
Speaker 3: The opposite of what they're Yeah, first instincts.
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean they're just I get it's like only
his second year, but it's not getting any better, and
I don't really see them making any moves to get
better either, So I think just let him go.
Speaker 9: As you keep them. I don't want them to keep
Paul skiing. I'm saying in this scenario, it's the only
thing that's making you relevant.
Speaker 3: You are talking about them all the time, and that
is marketing.
Speaker 9: Jerry Jones said it yesterday, like out of his mouth
said all this press that we're getting is good for us.
Speaker 3: He said it. He said the thing out loud.
Speaker 9: That you're not supposed to say, like I'm creating this
controversy because it's good for it. Like the Pirates. People
are talking about the Pirates for the first time in
a long time. And if they trade them for six
other people, they're going to be good.
Speaker 4: Uh, they're not.
Speaker 9: Or at least, they got the best player in the in baseball,
the best picture in baseball, and they got eyes on them,
their their their club is more valuable with him on
there than six other potentially good players.
Speaker 6: Maybe valuable, but they're still not good.
Speaker 3: Are they going to be good with six other Maybe
maybe goods?
Speaker 4: I would choose.
Speaker 9: I would take I got the best picture in baseball
right now, then maybe a better team.
Speaker 7: Well, because but to your point, I don't trust them
to use those assets properly that they're going to get
in return, anyways.
Speaker 9: Said I want them to trade Paul Skeins. Don't get
me wrong, but if I was them, I wouldn't. They're
not don't always get what you.
Speaker 3: Want any pirates. You don't always get what anybody got
any more? Would you rather before we take a break.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got one that Matt just made me think of.
Would you rather your team be dominant for a five
years stretch and never win anything for the next twenty years,
or you want to be like super competitive and once
every ten years you get a championship.
Speaker 10: Hm?
Speaker 9: Well, I mean you're you kind of dis are you
describing ln LSU describing the Dallas Cowboys because you brought
up Jerry.
Speaker 2: Jones thirty years LSU's like they're gonna have championship runs,
but it's not like the high end like it has
been for Georgia, Alabama somebody when they don't win champions.
Speaker 7: Let's say Kaylyn de bort is terrible Alabama tanks. Okay,
would you rather twenty years for twenty years? Would you
rather have the run they had and then twenty years
of garbage or be more like the.
Speaker 9: Run they had? The run they had was ten years plus. Yeah,
So I would not rather have a five year stretch
with twenty years of bad I would not either. I
don't want that. But they had a ten twelve, thirteen
year stretch maybe a little bit more, uh, where they
were the best, and I don't ever see them going
twenty years, but I'll take the longevity really good. Give
me championship every ten years. I'll take that all day.
Because you're besides like the tight window of three to
seven like you're kind of describing LSU.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean you played for another one in eleven.
Speaker 2: That changes the mats if you win that one, great team,
you win one in nineteen, so you're gonna win championships.
Speaker 3: But the in betweens are kind of what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: The tweeners.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take your break and when we come back,
a little dear de Landre here on one of four.
Speaker 3: To five ESPN battery off the bench.
Speaker 2: We say it all the time, and we're gonna say
it again because it is factual.
Speaker 3: It's always a great time to go for dose. Right now.
Speaker 2: Look, summertime might be over, but that is okay because
tailgating season is starting. We all know, we all look
forward to it every single year here in Baton Rouge,
and there is nothing better than having the games before
LSU plays on. You open up the ice chest and

Speaker 3: Football season is upon us. Enjoy some do.

twenty four pack, whatever is, get it ice down cold
Mexican Lagger, Gopher Dose, get your dough Sakies.
Speaker 10: Today Friday after five.
Speaker 1: This is off the bench n.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in o TV one four five
ESPN Beton Rouge.
Speaker 3: For a second time.
Speaker 2: You get the beautiful harmonies of Flynn and Hester here
Delandre de Landre.
Speaker 5: I love it so much. It really does. Voice of
an angel.
Speaker 6: One might say, Okay, so I'm excited because I get
to finally, I never play Amy Winehouse on this show,
and she is one of my favorites ever of all time.
Speaker 5: So I finally get to play some Amy on.
Speaker 6: Here because we got yeah r I P for real,
she should have went to rehab. We got a question,
Dear Delandra, is it wrong to play the just friends
game if the other person has greater expectations?
Speaker 5: So this is just friends by Amy one?
Speaker 3: Oh no, not the friend zone zone.
Speaker 6: I have like a follow up question to this, but
like obviously I'm not gonna get the answer to it,
Like do y'all both are we on the same page here?
Like I guess my first thing I would say is
get on the same page, like does she know that
you are just friends?
Speaker 5: Or are you giving her greater expectations? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 6: Like, let's let's define, let's dtr find the relationship. And
if you want to be just friends and she has
greater expectations, then you need to let her know that
because you can't be wasting people's time out here. You know,
we're grown. We can't be chasing waterfalls. So I think
that the first.
Speaker 2: You enjoy being around this person, yeah you feel that
way about them, But you know if you tell them
that you don't feel that way, then you lose that person. Yeah,
so they'll be completely out of your life.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but still you're that benefiting, Like, yeah, if you
actually like that person, then you have to be honest
with them. And if that's that, if that's what the
outcome is, then it just is what it is.
Speaker 5: You know, what did they say, if you love somebody,
set them free?
Speaker 6: So I think it kind of is emotion yeah, or manipulate.
Speaker 3: Them No, No, No, we're giving good.
Speaker 4: So good communication, got it.
Speaker 5: I'm down with manipulation.
Speaker 6: No, But I would say, is it if it's the
question is is it wrong to play the just friends
game if the other person has greater expectations, Yes, if
they're not aware of what's going on. But if they're
they're aware and they have the greater expectations and they
know that you just want to be friends and that's
kind of on them, you know, like.
Speaker 5: That's on them.
Speaker 9: But somebody says that it want to be more? Or
can you even be friends at that point?
Speaker 6: No, I don't think so, because it's always gonna be
that weird like, yeah.
Speaker 4: Weird situation.
Speaker 9: Yeah, speaking of friends, I have to have a little
fun fact for you. Okay, on the show Friends, the
word friends is mentioned in every single episode.
Speaker 3: Well, fun fact for none of that.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that.
Speaker 6: And I'm a I would say I'm a huge Friends fan,
but I didn't. I guess I didn't notice that or
pay attention to.
Speaker 9: My son got the recently got this book of like
three hundred random facts and he's been reading it like
in the car and stuff.
Speaker 5: And yeah, a book of three hundred random.
Speaker 4: It's like just three hundred random things.
Speaker 5: I like that.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: There's a question in the follow up question to this
in the chat Nioki, you're cool with friends with benefits?
Speaker 5: Right same page?
Speaker 6: I mean yeah, if y'all are on the same page, Like,
that's the only thing that it is wrong if y'all
aren't on the same page.
Speaker 5: But if y'all are, then whatever, who cares.
Speaker 3: That's why it's called friends with benefits. If you're not
on the same page, probably not gonna be any.
Speaker 5: Beannies, right, you have to be okay with that?
Speaker 3: Those are going to be happening.
Speaker 5: Nope, not at all. I like this question.
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna give you this song chump Okay, it's
chub thumpthing chubbu chumbo bumba.
Speaker 5: I can never say it.
Speaker 6: This is the this is the song that I'm gonna
give you because I just feel like it's the right
vibe for this. I'm not saying you got knocked down,
but dear Delandras, thirty eight too old to go back
to college to get a degree in a totally different
field of work and basically start my career over at
forty two when I graduate. Question, I don't think it's
too late. I don't think it's ever too late to
do anything, you know, like, because think of it this way,
you can either those four years are still gonna go by,
So you can either do what you wanted to do
in those four years and get back up and go
to college, or you can be in the same spot
you were in four years ago and still be thinking like,
oh what if I would have went to college four
years ago, and then you're just like putting it off,
putting it off. But either way, those four years are
going to go by. Spend them the way that.
Speaker 5: You want to.
Speaker 6: So, like, if you you want to make that career change,
do it. It doesn't matter if it's if you're thirty
eight years old. Do it, because either you're going to
look back and say, man, I should have made that change,
or you're you're going to have a degree, an extra degree.
Speaker 3: Like, it's never too late.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look at some of the most successful companies
in the world and their CEO like didn't start it
until after their forties or didn't even like get it
off the ground until they were forty five years old.
Speaker 4: Or they dropped out of high school. The richest people
in the world.
Speaker 2: We're not we're not advocations here, do that. No, it's
never too late. It is never too late. Go leave
your dream, dream, go figure it out.
Speaker 9: Tell my kids all the time, constant and never ending
self improvement. So we got if you want to do something,
do it. Cares what the age is, unless you want
to play like in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, if you to play in the NFL, then
you should just like yet that's more of like a
reality thing and you're not in reality.
Speaker 3: Tough, all right, get some more, Dear Delandra.
Speaker 6: Okay, we got one more that I'm gonna do because
I didn't really see any serious ones chat, so this
is the next one. And I think this one's kind
of a joke too, but either way, this might be good,
I don't know. So this guy's got some cat scratched fever.
Dear Delandra, my cat scratched up my sofa and my
child won't stop crying. How do I save my marriage?
Have you tried putting the child in rice? Like stop crying?
If we maybe hit the reset switch.
Speaker 3: I don't know, child a little bit different.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the rice technique is going to work,
But you got to figure out what's going to make
them happy.
Speaker 5: In terms of the cat, I would say, get rid.
Speaker 7: Of the cat.
Speaker 5: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of cat so like, I can't
relate to a cat scratching up my couch. Maybe get
the cat something else to scratch.
Speaker 3: Don't they scratch the Yeah.
Speaker 5: Buy them something like that. Or put the cat in
like a room that's not going to scratch the sofa.
Speaker 6: Like you know, sometimes people cage their dogs, not cage them,
but you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And also declaw the cat.
Speaker 2: Don't come at me, Peter, but I mean the cat
and pussing boots. She didn't have claws right, she was.
You know, she's a really good thief because of back
and forth.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's fine if you declaw the cat
and babies cry. Babies cry have maybe don't have a cat.
Don't have a cat, take the claws out, babies cry.
You made that decision, but saving your marriage, I don't know.
Maybe get a babysitter, take.
Speaker 9: Some other underlying issues. If the baby crying and the
cat scratching is setting it.
Speaker 3: Up right, So let's maybe just stix you only two issues.
Speaker 6: You did you blame the cat in the and the baby.
So let's maybe get a babysitter. Let's go out to dinner,
and let's talk about what's really bothering.
Speaker 5: Us because it's not the baby and it's not the cat.
Sit down, talk it out, and everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 4: So device is look in the mirror.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, ask yourself, look intrinsically and ask yourself what
you did right?
Speaker 5: Cat was an innocent bystander.
Speaker 3: That's being a cat. Uh okay. Go to Pelican roof

Speaker 2: Welcome back in OTB one oh four five ESPN Ben Rouge.
I don't know if we ever talked about this story
on air, but Najie Harris obviously talented running back Alabama Steelers.
Now with the Chargers, he had an accident on the
fourth of July with fireworks, oh wow, and one got
in his eye and he hasn't been able to really
open his eye since. But uh, apparently it's getting better
and he's back doing drills.
Speaker 3: Fireworks can take some I'll just tell you this.
Speaker 2: And maybe it's because, like I understood the position I've played,
there was so many things that I was not going
to do when I was playing in the NFL. Even
fireworks were one of those things. Like I was nervous
playing basketball. Hey, look we had like we had a
half court at the house. People used to come over.
We had a lot of fun doing it. But I
was always even nervous doing that. We've played a lot
of badminton. I was nervous doing that. Like I didn't
go skiing. I didn't do any of that stuff because
I was like, I am not about to get cut
because I'm trying to go down this slope right here
and have some fun.
Speaker 3: Like fireworks, I'm out. I'm out.
Speaker 2: I'm not getting released because I can't open my eye
because I got, you know, shot in the eye with
a firework.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm trying to think well, I mean fireworks, never
like I know that they're famously Jason Pierre Paul had
a firework and you took a couple of fingers. Yeah,
like even that, So that was kind of made on
lot of people like.
Speaker 3: Say, well it's kind of dangerous.
Speaker 9: I've never like looked at fireworks and I should I
was like, man, I shouldn't do that.
Speaker 3: Ye, it's not like you're doing a whole lot. You
gotta be.
Speaker 9: I feel like you got to be doing some dumb
stuff with fireworks, like like you would do in high school,
but like as an NFL player, kind of wild. But man,
a lot of casualties out there from the firework game.
But yeah, I remember it like so like I was
in Green Bay and we were playing the Giants a
lot when Jason Pierre Paul was like doing his thing
and man, he did he lose two fingers. It's like, yeah,
like a couple fingers. Yeah, he would have to play
with that club. But man, what like before that happened,
even after it happened, he was great. Man, he was wow.
He went on a run, he was dominant, so he
got got just blew up and obviously spark something went
in his eye still can't open. It still can't open
it fully. No, it's like a pirate. That actually be
pretty cooling, right that perception.
Speaker 7: I got the tackle a guy who's two hundred and
twenty pounds with an eyepatch.
Speaker 4: Yep, I wouldn't want to do it.
Speaker 3: Actually, probably be pretty easy, just one him.
Speaker 9: He would think you were like three yards away, but
you're like right next to him.
Speaker 2: Would you like to tell your kids, like, dad, what
ends your NFL career? Black cat black I say, black cat,
black cat got me. Oh it's not good. So uh yeah,
he's back on the field. So we'll see what happens
with Harris after literally what over a month, We're talking
like five weeks of not being able to open his eyes.
Speaker 3: It's glad it didn't happen to someone on the Saints,
right just what we know it does.
Speaker 2: It does feel like something that certainly would happen to
the New Orleans Saints. Their next preseason game is going
to be on Sunday. It's going to be at home.
They take on the Jags. And if you want to go,
by the way, you can get take us for eight
bucks right now to go watch a little preseason football
and eight bucks. So the Saints are in that, they're
in that that part of training camp where they've had
some injuries in one position group, and that's what we
talked about. They're starting to work out certain positions because
of it, and you get into the preseason. I think
when you're trying to find out who your quarterback is
going to be and you're banged up on the offensive line,
that is a doomsday scenario because now you're like, do
we want the bomb squad? Do we want the Uber
driver we signed earlier this week to be in with
either one of our quarterbacks. It's a part of this
competition because you got to play it smart. Like you
lost Pinning in the first preseason game. You lost Will
Clapp for this season in the first preseason game. It's like, yeah,
but also we got this quarterback competition. We don't want
them running for their lives, even though Spencer kind of
was already. So it's like, how do we handle that
even though we've had injuries. Do we play our guys?
Do we keep the one offensive line in as long
as either one of those quarterbacks is in to give
them a fair shot.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: The people that suffer the most are the starters. Yeah,
they suffer the most because they're gonna have to play.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 9: They're not going to play them like deep into a
game still, but they're gonna play them. They'll get an
extra drive, two drives, maybe three. So nobody's going to
be more pissed or disgruntled or just angry about it
than those veteran offensive linement because they're gonna have to Now,
there's gonna be some that they're not gonna do it.
But yeah, you get a lot of bomb squad action.
Like doesn't matter if it's just signed off. They're still
technically professional football players. You still have to fill the
team in preseason. You just got to get rid of it.
Speaker 3: You gotta do it. Yeah, I mean you gotta get
rid of it. You have to do it.
Speaker 2: But like I wonder how much more we're talking about
being in a right tackle, how much well they all
need to play a lot. How much is Bank's going
to be in at left tackle? Now, Caesar Ruiz, you
don't you need to stay in there bowl you get
some reps.
Speaker 4: We're going to force you to be better.
Speaker 2: Because I just don't think it's it's not going to
be fair, like if they go but you gotta be careful.
I understand that, but it's just not going to be
fair to whoever that second quarterback is because you're really
talking about threes now with the injuries that they've had,
you're not talking about twos. And so much of being
successful at the quarterback position is knowing that you've got
it taken care of. We talk about it all the time,
like I stole a year in the NFL just based
off pass protection, yep. And quarterbacks want to know certainly,
like Okay, I've got it taken care of. I can
go through my progressions, I can take my normal drop.
I can't drop my eyes. I don't have to drop
my eyes because I can keep them up because I
know we're going to have a clean pocket yep. And
like when you're starting the other way, when you're worrying
about it, I can't speak from experience. You probably can,
Like when you catch the ball and you're looking down
at the rush and not the coverage, that's where you
get into trouble.
Speaker 9: It's not fair for them. And we're talking a lot
about this for the quarterbacks. For like the game scenario,
there's three game opportunities, but there's thirty practice opportunities and
where you're not in trouble like that, you're not in
threat of getting hit, and people get so wrapped up
like a starting quarterback positions not really one in the games.
It's one of the games plus right, plus the practices. Yeah,
so you have to do a lot of your valuation
off practices, right. You have to take like you look
at the body of work in the game, Like if
you have great stats in a preseason game, Okay, that's great.
You do what you're supposed to do, But like, why
did you have it? The was there defensive that they
have injuries on defense? Was it the threes? Was it
this and that? And it's kind of a right of
passage as a young quarterback to go into preseason game
and just get crushed like.
Speaker 3: It, just get hit a lot.
Speaker 9: I had to do it when my fourth preseason game,
my rookie year, We're playing the Titans, and Jeff Fisher
was a head coach who famously played instead of playing
his starters three quarters in the third game, he would
play him the fourth game, right, And we would only
play our starters for one drive in the fourth game
of the preseas, And so I'm sitting there in the
second third quarter with a bunch of undrafted free agents.
I got my guy, one of my favorite teammates ever,
printed g Camenia at right tackle, who is like a
fifth round pick rookie going against jun Curse with Kyle
Van Derbosch on the other side. Ye going against this
this tackle that was an undrafted free agent from Louisiana Tech.
Speaker 3: Rookie, Like, yeah, getting destroyed. Yeah, right, passage, Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: But also, y'all, starter was established, like Aaron was a starter.
That's what I'm saying. So I think that's what makes
this one a little bit different. It is a rite
of passage. We've all been through the preseason games where
you're like, oh man, they got to they got a
name plate on the back of his jersey just in time, Yeah,
because they just signed.
Speaker 3: Him right before the game. Like we've all been there.
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, like from the apart, like I
hope that people understand, like right now, they're battling injuries
and there's going to be some times where it doesn't
look clean for these quarterbacks, and how much you can
block that out and try to just go through who
you are as a quarterback.
Speaker 3: But that seems easier said than done.
Speaker 9: That's what I just, like I warned people before the
first game, like, don't watch this game and take it
like as the rule book. Don't take it as the bible.
Like this is not going to tell you the story
of based on stats in a preseason game, of who
it's going to be. Like if Tyler Schuck did great,
look great, did exactly what's supposed to do, it doesn't
mean he's going to be the starter.
Speaker 3: It might it means he's still like competition is still alive.
Speaker 9: Right, But on the flip side of that, if he
would have gone and gotten sacked five timestone, three interceptions
and look bad, don't judge it off of that as well,
Like there's a whole body of work that goes into
this and this. Now that injuries are starting to come
into play, it's even more so like that warning even
like is rings louder now because you just don't know
what you're gonna get, especially with injuries, and especially with
guys that just worked out on a Tuesday in New
Orleans is going to be playing this week in a
preseason game, all right.
Speaker 2: It's going to be the thing that we watched the closest,
at least here on this show. I know a lot
of people or maybe I hustling other positions, but for me,
something we thought was the strength was a weakness in
the first preseason game. Was that just because it was
the first preseason game the Chargers played in the Hall of.
Speaker 3: Fame game, maybe they were a little bit more ready
to go. We'll find out.
Speaker 2: There's some Jimmies and Joe's on that Jags defensive line
as well. It's going to be the thing that I
watch the closest, and of course, depending on how they
play might tell the story and how the quarterback play.
We'll have that for you, certainly on Monday's show Not Good.
Speaker 4: We watched the clip yesterday.
Speaker 9: Who was the lineman that gave us but the running
back and the was it Kendred? Yeah, and Stone is
an incredible plow linebacker, an incredibly athletic, powerful pass protection punch.
It looked like Joseph Die like back in the day,
Like Joseph I was like, what's the Bruce Lee the
six inch point one inch punch?
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever it was, he had got that. He has
that like he's got.
Speaker 9: That power that punch, like that he came off a
playfake and like off of like a one and a
half step off the playfake was able to punch the
linebacker right in the mouth and.
Speaker 3: Everybody else looked really good. Though the center came.
Speaker 9: Back, pushed his uh, pushed his guy to the guard
and came back and cracked the guy that Kendred just said,
that guy had a bad day that play. But cesar
Rees just made a bad step, read the defense completely wrong,
and it was just the one guy, one guy.
Speaker 3: Now it's one guy.
Speaker 9: It's always just one guy, right, it's just and it's
a different name to that one guy. But on a
certain play there was a lot to be positive about
on raass protection. Just one mental error you got. You
got screwed up pre snap by the the alignment of
the defensive line. They lined three defensive linemen up on
the left side, one defensive linman on the right and
then so at that point you start thinking you just
didn't think fast enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with the wrong direction. You do that in the NFL,
you get beat. That's what happened.
Speaker 2: You can't have that from a veteran player, certainly when
you're running back who hasn't played it time, like I said,
I I saw the flashes. I get it at the
injury Miller stuff, I get why you get a name
or with it. And even though there's been the injuries
and the back and forth with Dennis Allen and some inconsistencies,
I get the flashes.
Speaker 3: And that was certainly a flash for him.
Speaker 9: That his block right there. Yeah, I looked at it.
You showed me that film. I watched it. I was like, Okay,
that guy's got some juice to it in past protection,
knew his assignment, new his role, came off of playfake
and went right to the guy that was blitzing.
Speaker 4: And it was not an.
Speaker 9: Easy look to to diagnose pre staff wasn't a good
easy defensive front. But he did it like he came
off of play fake, read it, diagnosed the blitz, knew
who his guy was, and hit him in the mouth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, stoned him right right there at the line.
Speaker 2: So Caesar, let's go all right, we'll wrap it up
like we do every single day.
Speaker 3: Getting to your questions.
Speaker 2: We'll ask the bench when we come back here one

Speaker 3: Not gonna do it there, No, I know what we're
talking about.
Speaker 9: You gotta sign up for a little account on YouTube
and watch us.
Speaker 4: Then you can see that.
Speaker 2: Ask the bench, which unproven quarterback in college football is gonna.
Speaker 3: End up being the best unproven. I guess news starter. Yeah,
I know Arch Manning I probably will be. It's probably
the answer. Probably Arch.
Speaker 4: Not to Texas because they're returning a starter.
Speaker 2: The bench just the bump theme just country. Is there
a more specific theme. It's just country. It's just just
country country.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I forget what song we were singing
before the show. I was like, let's go country to Devil.
That's what we did it. It's been a while.
Speaker 9: Morgan Walling is really uh, kind of topped the list
for me.
Speaker 4: Today.
Speaker 9: We said it, we got it in our heads. Now
it's gonna be a Morgan Walling type of day for us,
probably the office, it's gonna be having it on. You've
been three times, three three shows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Morgan's for sure for sure, it's been three. The
one to Mobile was awesome. I told you.
Speaker 2: I hit the fair grounds there outside late October I
think it was, and like thirty thousand people were there.
Speaker 3: Anybody cool on the walk out?
Speaker 2: I think that's before he did the walkout. Yah, before
he did the walk those years ago. I mean he
was big already.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I went to the one party opened up
for him and.
Speaker 2: That's like they the flower shops song had just come out,
like like with Ernest.
Speaker 4: Like just come out. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Uh, the at the end of my Boots Music Festival
and this past Mangle.
Speaker 3: Shores, he walked out by himself.
Speaker 9: So I was a little disappointed then because it was
definitely a thing by that point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to get to walk out with you
in Gulf Shores. That's not rhetorical. Just ask him a question.
He walked out. He was in San Francisco recently walked
out with Barry Bonds.
Speaker 7: I can only I can only think of one in
Gulf Shores, and it's technically Fully Julio Jones went to
Fully High School.
Speaker 3: Yeah he did. That's it he did. I mean, fairly
not that far. They could have got v R seventeen both,
you could.
Speaker 4: It's just Alabama.
Speaker 9: You mean you could get Nick Saban walk out with you.
I mean, and that's not overstated, it's not reaching. He
gets the biggest and the best. He had Peyton Manning
dress of him, his college uniform.
Speaker 4: Goodness six he did.
Speaker 3: Saving put on your Alabama coaching gear walk out, asked
the bench.
Speaker 2: AJ mccanerron said only UGA and LSU have rosters that
can beat Bama. But he's only worried about LSU because
of NUS and how LSU is better at Bama. Have
you ever heard anyone else talk how LSU is better
in t Town.
Speaker 3: I think they are better.
Speaker 7: I think they one under percent. I don't think there's
even a question.
Speaker 2: They beat him in nineteen there and then a team
that really honestly had no business being competitive through the
ball in the end zone with a chance, if it's called,
they beat Alabama like TDP almost scored, he got caught
from behind.
Speaker 3: They had a chance.
Speaker 2: Maxwed a little bit too high to Besh. Yeah, yes, yeah,
so no for I never lost air, did you? I
never lost the Baila me neither.
Speaker 7: There's a reason LSU goes through the Natty and odd years.
Did you play out Alabama? Seven nineteen?
Speaker 3: He's right?
Speaker 4: Bring up, well, the games are in New Orleans.
Speaker 12: That's why uh games tag As the bench tell Greg
McRoy to stop texting Ty Simpson, I don't know what that.
Speaker 4: Means coming for you, McRoy?
Speaker 3: What's coming for your number one spot? Broh?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Bah uh.
Speaker 2: Nookie points out, we have ten wins in Tiger Stadium
versus Alabama since nineteen sixty.
Speaker 3: I know we beat him twice my time at home.
Now that kid me right, you can't be right.
Speaker 7: MAYBEIL said, what if brings to this year's game, that
would be great.
Speaker 2: Our guy, our guy, Bama Gump is always great, says
I never lost to Bama.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah, saying, damn, it's just fact. The
two thousand and five Alabama team.
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna talk nice about him because my I
got room and Harper was on that team, Demiico Ran
was on that team. Alabama fans, y'all got to give
love to that team. Y'all y'all hate on them during
that time. That was a damn good football team. They
were undefeated. We played them in November. We beat them
in overtime in t Town. But they were good.
Speaker 9: It's a good football team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Larron Landry remember almost that. Yeah, he was almost
not with us anymore. Dwayne bow caught a touchdown. If
I'm not mistaken in the end zone overtime, it's called
Jimbo who remember.
Speaker 3: Tom later off the bench.
Speaker 2: Speaking of remembering, remember there is some activity there in
the Gulf of America disturbance, So you need to make
