My gifts 76 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,599 finally came in. So I believe we're a complete hero 77 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,439 on the OTB gifted here for the Christmas holiday. 78 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:07,599 Speaker 2: Yeah. So, uh do you have the Commons video ready 79 00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:08,159 to roll? Yes? 80 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: I do? 81 00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:13,159 Speaker 2: Okay? So On January ninth, Junior nine, twenty twelve, an 82 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,879 undefeated SC champion LSU played a one loss to Alabama 83 00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:19,160 in a rematch National Championship and we all know it 84 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:21,560 went did not go well, Tom and zero did not 85 00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:26,439 cross the fifty. And here was coach Miles postgame press 86 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,560 conference with Bobby Abert asking a question, OHS. 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 5: Did you ever consider bringing in generally considering that you 88 00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,600 weren't taking any changes down the field. Now I know 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,279 Alabama's defense is dominant. Come on, that's ridiculous. Five first downs? 90 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,079 I mean, uh so, it's almost approach. I'm a tap 91 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,720 from the fans standpoint that how could you not maybe 92 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,360 push the ball down the field and a bring bringing 93 00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,360 it gyroally? So what if you got a pick six? 94 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,319 It seems like the game plan that you're not pushing 95 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,120 the ball down the field. Considering dat it's like a 96 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,959 Ruben Randall Ordell Beckham junior. Now I know the past 97 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,439 rusher to Alabama, but there's no reason why the five 98 00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:10,720 first downs. I mean, they are a great defense. El 99 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,560 Wi's a great defense, but that's ridiculous. 100 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,319 Speaker 2: Do you have a question? 101 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 5: No, that's the question cut. Do you think you should 102 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120 have pushed a football more downfield? 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: I don't know when the last time I heard that 104 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,040 audio is if I've actually I don't know that I've 105 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:29,279 ever actually heard that, To be completely honest all the 106 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:33,079 way through, what I do know is that that line 107 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,480 of questioning led to some insane fallout in my personal 108 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:41,439 life where immediately the next day I start getting calls 109 00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:44,959 from radio stations all over the country asking like about 110 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:48,639 rumors and what happened and why didn't you play? And 111 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,759 all these other sorts of things. I would say that 112 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,680 question has aged very well though, right especially with the 113 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,120 careers that Ruben and O'Dell went on to go have 114 00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:01,600 in the NFL. Why would you not try something different? 115 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Do you have a question? Is very funny, that is 116 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,079 the question and indicative of well, what went so wrong? 117 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,480 You got tunnel vision that game and and you're stuck 118 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:14,680 with it. And I know people are like, tell the 119 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,319 truth about the game, Tell the truth about the game. Well, unfortunately, guys, 120 00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:23,680 a lot of times in life, the simplest explanation is true. 121 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:29,160 And the truth is everything that coach Miles did in 122 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,720 terms of who played, the strategic decisions made were things 123 00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:38,120 that he was doing not because he wanted to punish someone, 124 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,519 not because there was drama, but because he thought those 125 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,680 were the best things to win the game. And you 126 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,000 can say that that's ridiculous with the benefit of hindsight, 127 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,879 How could you believe that it was so clearly not working, 128 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,680 so clearly frustratingly stubborn. And I'm not saying that I disagree, 129 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:04,160 but if you look at the play down the stretch 130 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,959 of the season from that team, there were multiple games, 131 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,759 be it Arkansas or I mean the Georgia SEC Championship 132 00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:15,600 will probably the premier example of this, where you literally 133 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,879 we elics you's offense. Did I get a first down 134 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,120 in the first half against Uja? And so if you 135 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,879 look at the games in the run up to that, 136 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,199 there was a rhythm where the offense would struggle, struggle, struggle, 137 00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:32,360 but you'd keep doing the same thing. Tyron Matthew would 138 00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:34,199 make a play and you would come back, You would 139 00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:38,000 win the game, you would dominate. So again, with the 140 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,959 bene of it of hindsight, it's easy to paint a 141 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,480 strategy so frustratingly stubborn as to look stupid and maybe 142 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,920 even as to look malicious in some sort of way, 143 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360 when in reality it wasn't keeping with kind of the 144 00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,839 same rhythm of the game that you had the last 145 00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:59,560 few the only difference being you never broke through because 146 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,360 Alabai was different that year and you couldn't simply outpower 147 00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,120 them or out talent then because you were on equal 148 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,399 footing when it comes to power and talent. So it sucks, 149 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:15,480 But again I always say this, nobody stood to gain 150 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:19,079 more than coach Miles with a win there second national championship, 151 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,759 one that nobody could save was one with savings players. 152 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,040 I think he got a million dollar bonus just straight 153 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,920 up if he won that game. So again, it's not 154 00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:32,960 like he wasn't doing everything he thought was right. But 155 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,879 that's the great thing about sports, right you have a 156 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,240 plan and you do it and you enacted and sometimes 157 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,240 it tried it sometimes it's not, and well you suffered 158 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,639 the consequences. Man, the thrill of victory and the agony 159 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,960 of defeat. Solid question by the cannon right there, though, 160 00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:54,840 I don't know that I've ever heard a question like 161 00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:58,159 that in a press conference actually, just a straight up 162 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,120 critique and a now of a god awful game plan 163 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,399 while asking a very simple question, and why didn't you 164 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,320 give you know, your second quarterback a chance? 165 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: So I have actually never heard that in its entirety either. 166 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,759 I've heard later on like somebody just straight up asking like, hey, 167 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,000 you know, should you have played Jared Lee? Why did 168 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,559 you continue with Jordan Jefferson, And Miles answered something like, well, 169 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,080 you know, we just thought it was appropriate to let 170 00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:22,879 him finish what he had started and all that. But 171 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,279 I love the fact that Bobby's like starts halfway asking 172 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,399 a question and it goes on a tangent. He's like, 173 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,399 let me, let me explain to you at a fan perspective, 174 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,679 and he starts talk about how it's like ridiculous. 175 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:36,799 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I've never heard it once. I never either, 176 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,200 I don't think and I should be painfully clear about this. 177 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:49,039 Jordan Jefferson gets way too much blame in all of this. UH, 178 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,159 as a player, you have to trust your coach to 179 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,519 put you in a position to succeed. I want you 180 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,320 all to put yourself in Jordan jefferson shoes. Okay, For 181 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,039 two weeks in the run up to the National Championship, 182 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,879 basically all you do is practice different versions of the option. 183 00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:09,000 What was the one play you had success with in 184 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,840 Game one against that defense the option? Do you think 185 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,720 Nick Saban and that incredible defense with multiple NFL players 186 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:20,720 littered throughout practiced how to stop the option. So then 187 00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:23,480 what happens when in the rematch you're going against the 188 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,799 defense that has multiple first rounders, even more draft picks 189 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,320 on the two deep even and you have to run 190 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:33,759 the one play that you practiced in the one play 191 00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,399 that they practiced. They have to and they're like, hey, 192 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,000 be successful. You got Jordan's fault. It's insane. It's insane. 193 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,159 And then because of the other dynamics where he doesn't 194 00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:45,879 play the other quarterback, which again is not Jordan's decision. Jordan, 195 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,720 somebody gets to blame for that. So, uh, it is 196 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,679 absurd how how people treat Jordan Jefferson after that game 197 00:10:54,919 --> 00:11:04,960 and it angers me. Yeah, but one nine twelve a 198 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,360 day which will forever live an infamy. While I have uh, 199 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:12,879 you know, gotten over it in terms of like moved 200 00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:14,879 all in my life, et cetera, et cetera, it's it 201 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,240 is one of those things that you never will It 202 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,080 will always be a point of a bit of regret, 203 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,679 bit of anger, and a bit of pain. As there 204 00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:26,559 was a I mean the metaphor that I always used, 205 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,200 like you spent your life trying to climb this mountain 206 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:37,440 and right when you're about to summit, somebody just kicks 207 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,840 you in the chest and you fall all the way 208 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:42,960 down and you die. Instead of your death being treated 209 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,840 as a tragedy, people are celebrating the person who kicked 210 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,840 you down the mountain, Chris Save the greatest ever, you know, 211 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,879 celebrating Alabama, the very team that you beat, who did 212 00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:56,600 not even win the conference championship, gets to win the championship. 213 00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,559 In the end, they achieve immortality. You forgot in a time. 214 00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:03,600 So the guy who killed your dog, he's going on 215 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,679 a news tour and they all love him for it. Yeah, 216 00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:11,879 it is hard to believe those thirteen years ago, Scott, 217 00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,799 I agree, or yeah, thirteen cheese, what the hell's going on? 218 00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 5: Man? 219 00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: Moment of silence for twenty thirteen? 220 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, really, a moment of silence for the inexorable 221 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,240 March of Time. Yeah, and the fact that it doesn't 222 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,200 feel that long go still in my head. But it 223 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:41,639 was now thirteen years ago, and I'm closer to death 224 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,759 than I've ever been, as we all are, right, every 225 00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:46,080 single day you wait, well, every single day you wake up, 226 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,840 and by definition you're closer to death. Yeah, wherever you're 227 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,320 not going every second, every millisecond. Yeah, there's no going 228 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480 backwards there. Yeah, jeez, really sent me in a dark 229 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,480 spot so many segmented than it didn't mean for this happen. 230 00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:00,360 It was an incredible mood. I was listening to Eric 231 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,639 Pride's call on me, not five minutes ago or thirteen 232 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,600 minutes ago, I suppose five minutes Agoo again, March of 233 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:14,440 Time thirteen A Yeah, well, yeah, uh he's he's as 234 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:16,519 a respect you for division, my boy, but his boy. 235 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,840 But I disagree with him, Jefferson. The thing is, you 236 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:23,320 don't really have a platform to disagree on because well 237 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,759 it's not just that. But like I, I, I know 238 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,559 exactly that I'm right, Like I I, It's this is 239 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,360 not as the canon would say. This is not opinion. 240 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,240 This is a fact. I'm not telling you Jordan Jefferson 241 00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:41,919 was a great traditional quarterback. I think Jefferson and Jared. 242 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,039 I think Jared Jordan both had roles to play on 243 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,440 that team for us to be at our best, for 244 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:50,000 us to be at our max. Uh So I'm not 245 00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:51,960 I'm not telling you to do something like great pocket 246 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,200 past or anything that. What I'm telling you is that 247 00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,080 night is not on him. And that is a fact. 248 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,919 No one, Johnny Faulton, no one would have had success 249 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:04,480 if they were put into the same situation as as 250 00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:14,720 as Jordan does. Um, all right, let's uh, let's do this. 251 00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:16,879 Let's okay, when we get back, we got to Ryan 252 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,720 ranching news, Cliff Kingsbury entering in the chat, we got 253 00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:22,120 five days of playoffs kicking off. I did not mean 254 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,879 to do this in the open each segment. But here 255 00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:27,879 we are lovely, says one question of the candid's like 256 00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:30,120 five or six questions of regular humans. Yes, I know 257 00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:32,039 it's something that I've stuggled with as well, Like I 258 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,799 think I X coached multkey like a three minute question Tuesday. 259 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,000 But all right, we'll be get back more TV. Keep 260 00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:45,399 it on off the benks. Tommy's Windows, doors and siding go. 261 00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:47,759 Tommy's dot com is the website that's g e a 262 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:51,480 ux Tommies dot com or huh you call two five 263 00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:55,440 oh eighty eight eight and uh, why did you upgrade? 264 00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:57,840 Hardy bling a road at siding? Winter vinal windows any 265 00:14:57,879 --> 00:14:59,919 type of door, But we talked about those windows exciting 266 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,840 talking about energy efficient windows anxiety. What that means is 267 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,799 you save money and your heating bills and money and 268 00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:13,440 you're cooling bills probably more important here in Louisiana. So yeah, 269 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,559 you're paying two upgrade, but then you're saving money over time. 270 00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:19,159 These are investments that pay for themselves. And speaking of 271 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,519 over time, you can trust that they're gonna last for 272 00:15:23,679 --> 00:15:28,120 long all because Tommy's we have a lifetime warranty on 273 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:32,879 that energy efficient siding, a lifetime warranty excuse me on 274 00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:37,120 all lifetime warrant and all windows as well. So it's 275 00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:40,200 g E A u X Tommies dot Com, go Tommy's. 276 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,440 It's Tommy's windows, doors inside it. 277 00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the best morning sports show around sort of. 278 00:16:01,799 --> 00:16:04,000 It's off the bench with Hester and T Bob. 279 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: Welcome back. Oh GP. Hope everybody's having a excellent day 280 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:44,159 this Thursday morning. If you got a drink in hand, 281 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,320 maybe you got a coffee something going on, pour a 282 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,320 little bit out. I'm not going to, not in the studio, 283 00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:55,720 but metaphorically pour one out. Because although this is not 284 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,759 surprising news, it appears that one of the greats is 285 00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:05,400 the one as Ryan Ramchick has agreed to reduce his 286 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,559 salary for this upcoming year from eighteen million dollars to 287 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,319 a league minimum one point two five to five million dollars. 288 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,079 Freeze up sixteen point seven million dollars in cap space, 289 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:27,240 and really what it means is that a retirement is coming. Now, 290 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:30,079 Let's get to the Saints cap real quick. Okay, they 291 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,440 enter the off season sixty million dollars over the cap, 292 00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:37,200 so this gives you some immediate savings. Area're starting to 293 00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:43,319 chip away at that sixty million. Like all cap conversations, 294 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,119 there's always something kind of lost in the sauce with 295 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,960 these numbers where it's really hard to pars exactly what's 296 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,880 going on because it says it freeze up sixty million, 297 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,279 but they'ren till technically like a touch above fifty million 298 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,759 over the cap, so it's more like a ten million 299 00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:02,079 dollars savings. But then with like post June's second cuts 300 00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,240 and processes of retirement after then you can free up 301 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,480 another eleven million by deferry payments to twenty twenty six. 302 00:18:06,519 --> 00:18:10,240 So it's just let's let's deal with instead of getting 303 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:15,240 because this is not something where the details actually matter, right, Uh, 304 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,319 Ryan Ramchick basically nuked his contract. He's going to retire, 305 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,839 brings you from about sixty million to fifty million on 306 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,240 the cap. That's all you need to know for Ramchick though, 307 00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:27,839 And that's what I want to focus on because right 308 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,839 now you look at the Saints team and out of 309 00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:35,359 that incredible twenty seventeen draft class, of which was that Ramchick, 310 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:46,160 Mike Wait wait a minute, what's what's what's can't guard 311 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,119 Mike's last name? 312 00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: Thomas? 313 00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 2: Oh my god, can't guard my ct. I could remember 314 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,079 his Twitter. 315 00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 4: Handle and on his that's gonna does a lot more 316 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,880 on Twitter now see, but. 317 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,319 Speaker 2: Not back in the day, because he was a twenty 318 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,920 seventeen class as well. That was Ram, Mike Thomas, and 319 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,279 Alvin Kamara legendary class. And what's wild about all three 320 00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:11,799 of those players is I do not use this lightly. 321 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,440 I am not trying to exaggerate. I believe all three 322 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,319 of those players had a half decade of their career 323 00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:24,799 where they were on a Hall of Fame pace. And 324 00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:31,440 let's focus on Ramtick specifically, because he was immediately All 325 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:34,400 Rookie and a Pro bowler year one. I believe he 326 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,680 was already All Pro in year number two. And for 327 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,079 those that don't know the distinction, all Pro is way 328 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,880 more like Pro Bowls whatever, Right, it's not whatever, it's 329 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,680 it's still a huge accomplishment, but it's voted on by fans. 330 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,960 A lot of players make if you are All Pro 331 00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:53,880 at your position, that means the other players are saying 332 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,680 that you are the absolute best at that position, right, 333 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,920 And it's and it's from the NFC and a f 334 00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:03,960 It is a massive deal. And every year in which 335 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000 he was healthy from the second year on I'm pretty 336 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,599 sure Ryan Ramchick was an All Pro. And then you 337 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,599 look like Mike Thomas, a guy who, again the first 338 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,200 four or five years of his career, Hall of Fame potential, 339 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,839 setting NFL records, NFL Offensive Player of the Year, injury, 340 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,599 it falls apart. Look at Avia Kamara, a guy changing 341 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,400 the game in terms of receiving, catching yards from scrimmage 342 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,079 under Drew Brees. Hall of Fame potential doesn't have a 343 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,640 quarterback anymore. At all falls apart. And so what these 344 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,400 three stories do is, I think they highlight, when you 345 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,960 see someone make the Hall of Fame, just how incredibly 346 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,599 rigorous and full of pitfalls it can be to try 347 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,359 to put together a true Hall of Fame career. I mean, 348 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,200 it is years and years and years of showing up 349 00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:04,480 every day and doing everything you can to make it happen. 350 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,680 And hell, sometimes you do everything right and your body 351 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:12,039 just betrays you. Look at Ramchick. Now, I won't necessarily 352 00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:14,160 though Thomas in there, because I think with Thomas's injuries, 353 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,519 I think it was some personal mismanagement which also ended 354 00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:19,519 up causing a lot of problems as well. And then 355 00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:24,480 Thomas maybe had his own kind of problems with processing 356 00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:29,440 it all and whatnot. Oh, okay, Mike Thomas is twenty sixteen. 357 00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:30,759 Speaker 3: That meant a lot more. 358 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,319 Speaker 2: But the point still stands in terms of the path 359 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,839 to a Hall of Fame career and how tough it 360 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,119 can be. And when you're talking about Ryan Ramschick, I mean, 361 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,920 he has to go down as one of the biggest 362 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,160 what ifs in New Orleans Saint's history, because not only 363 00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:49,440 is it incredibly rare to find a guy with Hall 364 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,400 of Fame potential, but when you do in there have 365 00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:53,599 the career like Ryan, did you expect them to play 366 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,839 for like ten fifteen years. They're gonna be your stall 367 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,319 Wark guy. I mean even Tront Armstead, it feels like 368 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:06,920 you got damn year decade out of and then his 369 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:14,440 knees just betrayed him and now he's retiring. Hold his 370 00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:21,759 Ryan Ramchick thirty, I'm looking at that. Let's see, thirty 371 00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:27,559 years old, thirty years old and really hasn't played. He's 372 00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:29,960 like twenty eight, so right when he was entering his 373 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,960 kind of I find from like twenty eight to thirty 374 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,920 two is a lot of times when players are at 375 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:40,559 their best mental and physical mix, right, maybe your raw 376 00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:44,319 athleticism is not where it was when you were twenty three. 377 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:51,599 But the savvy vet tricks of the trade, the mentality, 378 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,640 the way the game slows down mentally and how you 379 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,839 process it is such that's probably your prime. So right 380 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,839 when this man was achieving prime age, his body not today. 381 00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:03,640 And now he'll never be a Hall of Famer, and 382 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,200 maybe he makes the Saints Hall Fame, but he'll never 383 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,160 be in the Ring of Honor. It makes you appreciate 384 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,319 guys like Jerry Evans, like Ricky Jackson, guys who anybody 385 00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,400 who can make the Hall of Fame and finish the fight. 386 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,599 So godspeed, Ryan Ramchick. He's a big farm boy, right 387 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,039 is he from Wisconsin? I believe he's from somewhere up there, 388 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:28,359 But I hope that he enjoys retirement. Know that you 389 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,200 are a warrior. Put the body on the line. We 390 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,319 had a lot of fun watching you, Ram. It was awesome, man, 391 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,359 but out of a lot of excitement. One of the 392 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:41,359 key cornerstones in that revitalization of the final window of 393 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,160 the Sean Payton Drew Brees Era in that five year 394 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,359 stretch from seventeen to twenty two when you won more 395 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,240 regulations and games than anybody in the NFL. Ryan ramtick 396 00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:52,000 was a major part of it. And I'll never forget it, 397 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,400 and who knows how long it'll be before the New 398 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:01,359 Orleans Saints experienced something like that again. And we'll always 399 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:08,920 have that god awful Chinese Ryan Ramchick jerseys that I 400 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,519 bought online, sleeves, two long numbers, off center, colors, all wonky. 401 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,519 But you know what, Ryan, it's mine and it's yours, 402 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,759 and that will make it special. It's singular. Greg Wan says, 403 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:27,359 Mike T completely falling apart, broke my heart. Yeah, man, 404 00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:38,799 I know he was incredible. He was incredible. He I 405 00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:41,440 mean he was the best receiving in the league. Again, 406 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,680 I mean, what was it, one hundred and forty nine 407 00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:47,319 catches nearly one hundred and fifty catches in the year, 408 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,559 which he set the NFL record. And I'll be damned 409 00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:54,759 if you know, Ramchick. It's injury, Thomas, maybe a bit 410 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,000 of injury, but more so than anything with Mike T 411 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:06,640 and Alvin Kamara, it's quarterback offensive scheme. Right. Look at 412 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,319 Christian McCaffrey was in Carolina. Then look at Christian McCaffrey 413 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,559 when he's healthy in San Francisco. Even look at Kamara 414 00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:16,519 last year under Pete Carmichael versus Kamara this year under 415 00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:21,039 Clint Kubiak had a lot more success. How frustrating would 416 00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:23,519 it be? Because that's one of the interesting parts about 417 00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:25,960 wide receiver and running back and stuff. It's like, as 418 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:27,680 much as you do help out the quarterback, and you 419 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,599 definitely do right, we're seeing the value of receiver more 420 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,640 than we ever thought in the past. That's just another 421 00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:34,559 kind of funny element of this one. Mike Thomas was 422 00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:36,720 on the come up, it was insane to pay a 423 00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:40,319 receiver twenty million dollars. Now you feel like you have 424 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,400 to pay a receiver your quarterback needs it. But it's 425 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,920 a weird position receiver because you also need that quarterback 426 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,200 and it can severely limit your output if you don't 427 00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:58,240 have that guy. And I think that's something that a 428 00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:01,480 lot of these skill positions have here in New Orleans 429 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,640 have struggled with the last few years, and it's something 430 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,240 that has cost them. Luster, cost them stats, cost them legacy, 431 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,440 and you can't get back legacy. It's why Mike Evans 432 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,680 getting us five yards so that record is such a 433 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,240 big deal. E. You can't just get another shot at that. 434 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,240 That is a record that is eleven years in the making. 435 00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:29,920 And so I don't know what Ryan Ramchick's legacy will be. 436 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,640 I don't know how remembered he will be. But if 437 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,000 you're my age, our age, however you want to say it, 438 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:41,640 I think we will remember him. So thank you Ram 439 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,839 for your time, my friend. It was awesome when it 440 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,799 was awesome, and it's a bummer how it ended. But 441 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,839 you know, don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. 442 00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:56,759 All right. When we get back here and off the bench, 443 00:26:56,839 --> 00:27:00,799 we have a new name entering the same tame coaching search. 444 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,000 And let's go ahead and get into our five days 445 00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:07,640 of playoffs.

If you go to 472 00:29:08,359 --> 00:29:14,680 Louisiana Sports dot Net. Remember is a website houred by 473 00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:20,119 one O four five ESPN. I've been thoroughly enjoying Louisiana 474 00:29:20,119 --> 00:29:23,720 Sports done that lately. It's a great resource. You wake up. Yeah, 475 00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:26,599 you get on there, you see everything that's going on 476 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,039 with the Saints head coaching search, portal breakdowns. In fact, 477 00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:32,480 we'll start a new series today that hunt just started 478 00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:35,599 on there where he breaks down he profiles a player 479 00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:38,279 in the portal every single day. Well did you keem 480 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,680 Jackson today? So look forward to that. But Ross Jackson 481 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,000 is our Saints writer, very good does Locked On for 482 00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,559 the New Orleans Saints Locked On podcast of daily content. 483 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:55,759 There also edits for Locked On. But according to Ian Rippapa, 484 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,039 the Saints have officially requested to interview Washing Commander's offensive 485 00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:16,079 coordinator Cliff Kingsbury. How exciting is this? Uh, that is 486 00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:20,480 what I'm trying to parse how I feel because in 487 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,400 terms of being a head coach in Arizona, I did 488 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,359 not think he did a great job. I think he 489 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,559 did a good job of getting a lot out of 490 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,440 Kyler at time. I think he did a good job 491 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,799 having that offense being pretty good when it fell apart, 492 00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:36,880 though it fell apart fast and it was never really 493 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:43,440 a complete team. I understand the kind of sexy nature 494 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,359 of Kingsbury both basically and uh in like the football 495 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,240 since right, and that he is a genius offensive mind 496 00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:53,839 that has the ability to get a ton out of 497 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,279 young quarterbacks. I mean, you bring him in and whether 498 00:30:57,319 --> 00:30:58,880 it is Derek Carr or though a lot of people 499 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,400 intimating that if you bring him in that it's not 500 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,880 Derek car but whoever the quarterback would be, you would 501 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,079 be excited maybe that individual's potential. I don't know how 502 00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:14,039 excited I would be about the team potential under Cliff Kingsbury. 503 00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:16,400 And the thing that I keep going back to and 504 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,119 why Aaron Glynn kind of remains my favorite. I keep 505 00:31:19,119 --> 00:31:22,240 thinking about this idea of being a leader of men 506 00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:31,599 and who would you rather follow. And it's not any 507 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:37,480 fault of these guys like Joe Brady, Cliff Kingsbury, but 508 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,000 if you look at their resume and their come up 509 00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:43,680 compared to someone like Aaron Glenn who played and then 510 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,000 earned his way every single step up the ladder, it's 511 00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:48,559 hard for me to believe that they would inspire more 512 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:55,039 organizational confidence or belief than would an Aaron Glynn. To Tay, 513 00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:59,839 what do you think about Cliff Kingsbury as a head 514 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:01,680 coach of the New Orleans Saints. 515 00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:05,279 Speaker 4: I think it depends on what you do on the 516 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,400 defensive side, right, Like, if you bring in a competent 517 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,440 defensive coordinator and basically, just like Cliff Kingsbury be the 518 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,200 de facto offensive coordinator, and kind of set up practices 519 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,079 and stuff. Don't worry about the defensive set of things. 520 00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:19,519 Because we were actually talking about it in break yesterday, 521 00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,680 right after Jake brought up Davis Web and started looking 522 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,160 at like how Kingsbury got his start in college. He 523 00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:30,119 went from Baker Mayfield. Mayfield left because Davis Web beat 524 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,119 him out. Davis Web left because Patrick Mahomes beat him out. 525 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,079 That's the depressive runs on quarterbacks, getting them, developing them 526 00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:39,880 in the college. And then you mentioned his work with 527 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,799 Kyler Murray. Kler Murry has been worse since Cliff Kingsbury 528 00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:44,440 has been gone. I mean, I think we can I 529 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,119 think we can all accept that. I Mean, he was 530 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,519 okay this year for the most part, but I think 531 00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:50,440 he was at his best when Kingsbury was there. So 532 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,039 I think he's a really good offensive coach. 533 00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great offensive coach. But I mean 534 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,599 we've said it multiple times when talking about Jaden Daniels 535 00:32:56,599 --> 00:33:00,480 this year, he's some guys are coordinators, some guys are coaches. 536 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,039 He feels like maybe someone who is a coordinator. Also, 537 00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:06,240 it would feel a bit odd to go all in 538 00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:08,839 with a coach like Kingsbury. Maybe when you don't necessarily 539 00:33:08,839 --> 00:33:11,240 know who the quarterback's gonna be. If you had the 540 00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:13,039 number one pick lined up and you want to go 541 00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:15,880 all in on young quarterback, maybe then this becomes a 542 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,519 bit more at trackings. I should also say that there 543 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,000 is some h This is the second or third time 544 00:33:22,839 --> 00:33:26,319 where there's conflicting reports as to whether or not he's 545 00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:30,759 actually been requested for interview. Uh, but you know some 546 00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:33,359 of the big names saying he has, some of the 547 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:38,599 local names saying maybe he hasn't. But I again, I don't. 548 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,799 I don't think that I want Cliff Kingsbury as the 549 00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:49,000 head coach. Yeah, I mean twenty and thirty seven. Overall, 550 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,680 it was weird that thinking about his time that the 551 00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:53,519 Cardinals is just finishing. It always start well and then 552 00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:56,279 they would just completely collapse once call of duty came out. 553 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,720 What to remind you, guys, Look, if you are suffering 554 00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:03,920 out there, you don't have to be okay, you're suffering 555 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,960 from e D.

Goodwoodmen Sexual One is 576 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:20,800 your Goodwood dot Com. I want to talk about the 577 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,519 playoffs here a bit, and there's a really good piece 578 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,360 by Ryan McGee uh in on ESPN dot com basically 579 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,800 playing with the idea of I don't know who wins 580 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,719 the championship, but whoever does win, it will be a 581 00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:42,840 massive deal for that school. And here's the first excerpt 582 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:49,880 from the article. Redemption, retribution, revenge. Whichever these words you 583 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,440 revere the most, they all relate. As the college football 584 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,800 Playoff rolls into the reckoning that is this week's semifinals, 585 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,400 a quartette of stories that are wildly varied, but at 586 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,920 their core are essentially the same. And it took me 587 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,360 that James Franklin talked about as well. He said quote, 588 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,039 but to me, the real story is the opportunity we 589 00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:11,480 all have to reward these great universities and the people 590 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,719 who have supported us through thick and thin, to bring 591 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,559 that championship feeling back to this town. That will make 592 00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:20,960 every single step to get their worth it. So these coaches, yeah, 593 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,760 they know that they're gonna talking, They're gonna talk about 594 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,039 them for the but for them, this is their chance 595 00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:28,440 to honor those that have supported them. You look at 596 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,360 a Hoto State, four years since they beat Michigan, four 597 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,480 years since they won the Big Ten, a decade since 598 00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:37,480 the national championship. They have a chance to fix that. 599 00:36:38,119 --> 00:36:41,960 You look at Texas last championship was twenty years ago, 600 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,519 and if you look at after that five championship, it 601 00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:48,679 was dark times. One Big twelve championship in two thousand 602 00:36:48,679 --> 00:36:51,840 and nine before not winning again till twenty twenty three. 603 00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:56,559 In fact, how many national championships do you think Texas 604 00:36:56,599 --> 00:37:04,000 has won post nineteen seventy two? One one, They won 605 00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:08,280 in sixty three, they won in sixty nine, they were 606 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,440 co champion in seventy though that is up for debate, 607 00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:14,599 and then they won to O five for one of 608 00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:17,639 the winningest schools ever. They do not have the natties 609 00:37:17,679 --> 00:37:20,960 that you think they do. They have an opportunity to 610 00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:25,719 add to that number. Look at Notre Dame hasn't won 611 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,079 a championship since nineteen eighty eight, embarrassed forty two to 612 00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:33,360 fourteen in the twenty twelve National, embarrassed in multiple playoffs. 613 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,880 It's their opportunity to do something they haven't done since 614 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,719 before we were born. Penn State thirteen undefeated seasons in 615 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,559 their school histories, only two national titles eighty two and 616 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,840 eighty six. Even longer ago, Joe Pah had five teams 617 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,679 that went undefeated and were not given finals. Howe of 618 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,360 this in nineteen ninety four, you're talk about pain. In 619 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,960 nineteen ninety four Penn State team that had two Heisman finalists, 620 00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:05,159 fifteen draft picks, they won the Big Ten, they stopped 621 00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:07,480 Oregon in the Rose Ball, and they got picked second 622 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:11,800 behind Nebraska. Also indicative of why a playoff is so 623 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:18,000 much better, because that sucks and that's insane. So I 624 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,920 don't know who it's going to be, and we'll discuss 625 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:25,199 who we think will advance. But whoever it is, the 626 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,480 glory will be great and it will have been a 627 00:38:28,679 --> 00:38:33,639 long time coming. So I cannot wait. We kick off 628 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,400 five days of playoff football, and hour number two we're 629 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,000 gonna kick it off talking about the games themselves, break 630 00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:42,119 them down here.

His series 684 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,239 here Ry. But again, if you haven't been going on 685 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,559 Louisiana Sports on net, Hunt is doing a great job 686 00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:54,199 as Ross's Christ's great website. But he's starting with Florida 687 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,599 cornerback Jaquem Jackson. So let's talk a bit about him. Okay, 688 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,239 he's six' to. One coming out of high scho a 689 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,320 couple of years, ago he was a number five corner 690 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,159 in the. Country he was number fifty five player, overall 691 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,519 so a top one. Hundred damn near top fifty. Player 692 00:42:08,519 --> 00:42:11,000 he was an under Armour All american who ran a 693 00:42:11,159 --> 00:42:14,559 ten nine in the one. Hundred as a true freshman 694 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,480 At florida Under Corey, raymond he played in eleven. Games 695 00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:21,320 he had seven, tackles he had three. PBUs that was 696 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,119 not as a full time starter going into his sophomore. 697 00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,400 Year this last, season he was a full time. Starter, 698 00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:31,159 however he suffered an injury in game number two which 699 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,519 ended up holding him out for the, season so he 700 00:42:33,679 --> 00:42:37,960 ended up red. Shirting what that means now is In 701 00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:42,760 Jakeem jackson at a position of, kneed you are getting 702 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,400 a six'. One corner that is big for a cornerback 703 00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:51,280 who is a red shirt sophomore who has multiple years of, 704 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:56,000 eligibillity left though it does mean he will be draft 705 00:42:56,039 --> 00:43:01,599 eligible even after. This season but you're getting a veteran 706 00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:06,119 with all, the size all the, natural talent playing for 707 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,360 a coach that knows him well enough now that they 708 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,159 have followed each other to two, different spots a coach 709 00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:14,400 that believes, in him a coach that has teamed up with. 710 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,719 HIM twice i think the Potential For jakim jackson next 711 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,119 year is through.
