Speaker 1: We welcome into Off the Bench, presented by All Star Toyota.
Speaker 2: We're bringing in the school get.
Speaker 1: Your sports talking so.
Speaker 2: With Jacob Hester.
Speaker 3: And aren't you scared?
Speaker 2: Live from the Haunts Studio. Here's Jacob Hester.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in hour number two of O
t B from the Raising Kine Studio.
Speaker 5: Back like you never loved. All right, let's go around
the room. Who's got the highest qb R in the
NFL qb R in the NFL Give me a second,
all right, I'll.
Speaker 3: Throw a name out there. And I don't want to
do this, but it's a Dak Prescott.
Speaker 5: Okay, laundry.
Speaker 6: I also feel like I need to think about this also.
I kind of liked the heads up in the the
whole point.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 5: That's s QBR.
Speaker 4: That's the whole point. It's rapid fire. I'm trying to
trick you here.
Speaker 7: What's wild is I don't know if anybody is playing
better the.
Speaker 8: Bakeryfield.
Speaker 3: Yeah picked what I picked Dak because I think his
because they take everything consideration. He throwing the downfield a
little bit more so. I think he has more yards.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he got my dad like points.
Speaker 7: Just got more yards.
Speaker 5: I don't know because who's he play for?
Speaker 8: That's so Dad Baker is a good point. He's been
playing well.
Speaker 7: I don't know about QBR. QBR sometimes can be pretty misleading.
But Baker or and Dak, no one's playing better.
Speaker 5: I mean he picks his Dak all right.
Speaker 4: Here goes the top ten in QBR so far here
on this season at number ten, Mac Jones at number nine,
Matthews Stafford at number eight, Baker Mayfield at number seven,
Jared Goff at six, Josh Allen at five, Lamar Jackson
at four, Patrick Mahomes at three, Dak Prescott at two,
Sam Donald and at number one.
Speaker 5: No wish Trevor Lawrence eighteenth.
Speaker 4: No, it's a good guess though, but Spencer rally higher
than Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 8: Love that.
Speaker 5: My whole point in doing.
Speaker 8: This, so almost says Sam Donald.
Speaker 4: But I was like, no, have guessed the name and
I've given you the top ten.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Still, Toronco is this Tua I would love.
Speaker 5: Two?
Speaker 4: Is actually Conspenser because it's Justin Herbert right, No, just
hers fifteen say.
Speaker 3: It's probably not j justus because there's Jordan Love.
Speaker 5: No, he's eleven.
Speaker 7: Reason Daniel Jones Indiana Jones.
Speaker 5: That's the whole reason I brought it up. I knew
that none of y'all something, and I knew I could
give you all the.
Speaker 7: Top knew that answer to his name is Daniel Jones.
Speaker 4: So the top two qbrs in the National Football League
are Daniel Jones, who was kicked out of New York
and Sam Darnold, who was kicked out of New York.
Speaker 5: Those franchiss is just bad.
Speaker 4: Now, the Giants have won a couple of Super Bowls
with Eli Manning, so I get that. But it just
kind of shows you and tells you the guy that
you're always like that guy suck.
Speaker 5: That guy is a bust a lot of times in
the National Football League.
Speaker 4: So much it's about opportunity, who you're with, who's around you,
because you know your eye was telling you the story
during the draft when you selected that player in the
first round. Now, I'm not saying that's gonna last for
the total of the year, but looks pretty good so far.
Speaker 7: So much as the tournament by your coach. Uh obviously
the players around you, but like your coach and the
way you're the same coach can't coach the same team
like two different teams the same way. Like you, your
coach has to be flexible and be able to design
plays and coach coach the plays that they're they're they've
designed with multiple types of personalities, multiple types of team chemistry.
Like not every there's no one two teams built the
same way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and.
Speaker 7: People sometimes people call it system quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: It's not.
Speaker 7: It's not a system, it's just a better offense.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 7: In the NFL, there's no such thing as like a
system quarterback.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 7: There's just bad offenses out there. There's bad programs, there's
bad coaches out there, so that it's the opposite of
a system quarterback. Like, yeah, if you get put with
some bad teams, you're not going to be very good.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was super fortunate to get drafted where I was.
I'm glad I didn't get drafted two rounds before then
go to the Jaguars or the Panthers. My career might
have lasted fourteen days.
Speaker 6: Right, Wait are you talking about Yes, your point, but
you say system quarterback and you don't believe that that's
a thing.
Speaker 5: Like I'm not in college.
Speaker 6: I agree, Okay, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing. I don't
know what were you talking about. Were you talking about
Mac Jones? Because people were talking about how like Rock Party,
they say all the time that he's a system quarterback,
and then Mac Jones goes in that same system and
he's what tenth.
Speaker 7: So I don't know, I'm just me like a system quarterback,
and I've never really given this a whole lot of thought.
You don't see it in the NFL. Like system quarterbacks
not a thing in the NFL. Yeah, you have better coaches,
you have better play college, you have better designers of
plays and game planners. But in college, there's system quarterbacks
that are doing something that's an outlier, like doing a
type of offense that you know, let's just let's say
Mike leaves Texas Tech for example, I would say those
are system quarterbacks because nobody else was running the air raid.
No one was throwing a sixty five times a game.
Those guys had a billion yards and most of them
never panned out and do a more traditional type of office.
Speaker 5: Look at Will.
Speaker 3: Rogers right in Missisipi State. He was there three years.
He was like every record. Rogers never did anything that's
a state I mean, I.
Speaker 7: Mean technically a triple option quarterback would be a system
type quarterback in my opinion, because you're running a type
of offense that a defensive coordinator is seeing once a
year and it's really hard to game plan for. But
that quarterback's really good in that system and that's exactly
what But it doesn't like necessarily translate to other types
of football. In the NFL, you don't have that. You
just have good coaches and you have bad coaches.
Speaker 6: Maybe like Tennessee too, because Joey Aguilar comes and now
he's like in Heisman Talks, Nico Yamali all the I
tried so hard to say and he sucks.
Speaker 8: So I don't know if that's Tennessee.
Speaker 7: That was like crazy like that. It's not a high
school offense there.
Speaker 5: Run.
Speaker 7: It's just a good offense. Right. They're not doing they're
not running plays in philosophies and mechanics that nobody else
is doing. That's just calling good plays and designing good plays.
Like is that Texas and Texas Tech was just so
different at the time, Like Mississippi State. Yeah, Like missip
State came in here and threw for seventeen hundred yards
in one game and it was against l s u
kJ was binge two weeks later. Yeah, that's different, But
to say there's a back. Mac Jones was in New England,
had a terrible time. Patricia was his offense. Matt Tricia
was his offensive coordinator. Who's going to be successful in
that season? Tom Brady wouldn't have been. He's probably been.
Speaker 4: More successful Matt Patricia, who is a lifelong defensive coordinator
currently the defense coordinator for the Buckeyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Belichick made that stupid move to make Patricia
o C. Mac Jones went to the playoffics of rookie
People forget that he was ten and seven and went
to the playoff's rookie year. It's like, yeah, until Patricia
came there and screwed him up.
Speaker 7: You gotta think like till Belichick, guys had a pretty
big falloff.
Speaker 8: Oh my god. It's honestly, like it's kind of sad
to me.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, he thought he was a smart sky in
the room.
Speaker 7: So okay, well I don't so like such a great
coach for such a long time. Yea, did he have
like a like I don't know, like a mental drop
because he did hire Matt Patricia as an offensive coordinator
did he forget that he was a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3: I think I think. I think Jake's point, like, you know,
he was so good for so long. He's like, this
is gonna work because I say it's gonna work, not
necessarily do with his homework, just like, yeah, oh I can,
I can do it.
Speaker 5: It's gonna work. As I say, so, I agree.
Speaker 7: And the chat asking if I'll go on record and
say the air raid is the trash offense now it
looks so fun.
Speaker 4: Wants to know where the Jaguars play. Look, I'm from
tree Back, he's from Tyler, Texas.
Speaker 5: We're gonna call it the Jaguars for as long as
we're here.
Speaker 4: We could.
Speaker 5: I know that. Come on, you're ready.
Speaker 3: Oh, Palmer will come in here and be like, did
you say jaguars? Because I had to do an NFL
promo last year and I also say jaguars.
Speaker 8: I'm confused.
Speaker 3: I think the correct terms jaguar. He's like you said,
I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 4: Like I am settled down.
Speaker 8: Wait, is somebody saying are we saying it wrong?
Speaker 5: Is just say it real? Red? Now?
Speaker 8: Jaguar has been the thing my entire life.
Speaker 3: I'm going to keep Jaguars who different people who want
to be proud of it will say it's jag I.
Speaker 6: Don't think I've ever heard somebody say jaguars like jag warn.
Speaker 3: You ever hear the come tell me for the for
the car, jaguar, Jauar, Jaguar, Jaguar.
Speaker 8: This is not how I say it at all, jack jaguar.
I've never heard.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that it was uar.
Speaker 6: Jaguars that now we're saying it so many times that
it doesn't sound like.
Speaker 8: A real word.
Speaker 7: This word has lost all meaning.
Speaker 5: Jaguars.
Speaker 8: What even.
Speaker 5: Jaguar?
Speaker 3: The team in Jackson.
Speaker 7: Someone of the chances that jaguar.
Speaker 6: Was literally jack It was literally a Johnson Jaguar Johnson
High School.
Speaker 8: Okay, So I think I know how to say jaguars.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, see that's that's her mascot.
Speaker 8: I think you are.
Speaker 4: Ah yeah, team plays there in Jacksonville ball Jaguars.
Speaker 3: For I promise, I promise you the folks in Jacksonville
say jaguar.
Speaker 5: There's no saying jaguar. I ain't doing that. Should we
call you want to?
Speaker 7: You want to move him to London?
Speaker 8: Like wait, where to go?
Speaker 3: I haven't clown is Cowenn actually a really good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I think he is. He's got to be
pretty good.
Speaker 5: Right one.
Speaker 3: They're four winning despite not being that great talent wise.
You look at what he did in Tampa's offense last year,
like Cohen's got a little something and he was good
at the Rams before that.
Speaker 7: Dude, it's Frank Cringey. Then I saw it again the
other day.
Speaker 3: It's it's the facial expression.
Speaker 7: That comedic if he would have just done it straight faced.
Speaker 6: Okay, so Matt, Matt is listening and he just sent
me a Google Jaguar pronunciation.
Speaker 8: Okay, let's see.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if it didn't say jag wire, I don't really get.
Speaker 7: An audio of like Serie pronouncing it or something.
Speaker 2: Jaguars.
Speaker 7: It sounded like how we.
Speaker 8: Said, I don't hear a difference.
Speaker 6: Jaguar, that says that says jaguarsaid.
Speaker 5: Jaguar wire back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, turns out the red neck way is the right way,
even if it's not keeping.
Speaker 8: He said old country as saying Jaguar.
Speaker 5: We're just we're just system speakers.
Speaker 8: We're system speakers. We're in the Jaguars.
Speaker 5: Sheep sheep ball anyway.
Speaker 7: Four and one, it was the coach that took him
to the a f C Championship.
Speaker 5: Doug Peterson wasn't it?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 5: Doug? No? No, no, it was Borders.
Speaker 3: It was Moron, yes, because he was right after Coland
is that right?
Speaker 5: God?
Speaker 4: That was a random season, really random defense was least
it was if Lenny was running back right for Nette.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and to go back and watch the AFC Championship game.
Speaker 4: They should have wanted they had chiefs.
Speaker 5: I'm assuming that they had the two colored helmets. Oh yeah,
I was terrible. Ugly.
Speaker 4: Does anybody mess up a uniform more than the jag
dash wires?
Speaker 5: Alight? They wore their retros the other night, and those
are awesome.
Speaker 8: I like the black ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was uh, it was Marone. He was there
seventeen to twenty and that was fours what second year,
first year, So that would have been.
Speaker 5: That would have been right there.
Speaker 7: That Maroon was the head coach in Buffalo when I
was there for three weeks?
Speaker 5: Wasn't that great? Of course?
Speaker 7: That was you know, he was super casual when he
fired me.
Speaker 8: Actually, Maron, I didn't even care.
Speaker 7: Super cat Actually he didn't have one ounce of sympathy
in his eyeball.
Speaker 5: Hey, Mat We're gonna let you go, all right, Bud?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean good luck man pulled the brad Pit
on Moneyball Man.
Speaker 4: Every time I got released, it was always like this,
like big to do and like emotional speech, and I
wanted it to be more like, hey, Budd, gotta.
Speaker 5: Let you go. Here's your ticket.
Speaker 4: That's that's just that's awful, Like why why do y'all
mess up? And now like your uniform, your main uniform
still is awful. Like where the ones that you wore
the other night every game, the Mark Brunel days, those
are awesome.
Speaker 5: That's terrible. That is a fireable offense to whoever did.
Speaker 3: That, even better than pants are white.
Speaker 5: That is a bad uniform. Anyhos AnyWho? Good dad, h boy?

Speaker 5: A little new addition here, no big deal. Yeah, the
headpluts are great. It's changes things up uh, Doc, you
are from which state? Originally? Florida?
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a team that plays in Florida in Jacksonville.
What team name is that?
Speaker 5: The Jaguars.
Speaker 7: He sayed, like us got a little new and I
got a little nuance in there, a.
Speaker 8: Little different.
Speaker 5: Jaguars.
Speaker 8: I don't know if he's saying jaguar.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think he's saying a little bit yeah, uar,
he's a little bit more educated.
Speaker 4: Alright, fair enough, fair enough, all right, I heard it.
Speaker 5: I heard it took somebody from Florida. Though, because I.
Speaker 6: Don't think I could say it, I might concede this argument,
but I'm still gonna say jaguar.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, I'm a thousand percent still saying it in
the same way. Doc. How you doing. Glad to have
you back on. I'm doing well, thank you.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Taking a look at some of the injuries across the
sports world. Uh So, last week we talked about two
guys for the Saints, Foster and Taysom coming back from
knee injury. It was funny like after having the conversations
with you, like I was kind of watching and seeing
like how they how they played, and how they plan
and how they cut.
Speaker 5: And they timid here, they timid there.
Speaker 4: It was funny because I like, I felt like I
saw a difference, like Foster was like, oh the hell
with it, let's just go and Taysom not that he
was like bathing or not, but you could tell like
it felt like in the back of his mind there
was like, Okay, let's to make sure that I'm one
hundred percent ready to go.
Speaker 9: There's definitely a benefit to be a little crazy, and
I think it's faster. I think we all know Foster
and I say it in the kindest way possible. Oh yeah,
but yeah, there's something there. Sometimes you got a little
bit of that crazy gene and that that helps you
just to go out there, because yeah, it's scary the
first few times.
Speaker 7: For sure, when you have a when you're coming back
from an ACL injury, Like what is the what's the
biggest like mental hurdle player? Is it like lateral cuts?
Is it full speed straight ahead? Like what's the biggest
challenge that you see mentally that as a doctor you're like, hey,
you're okay, Like, but I assume like mentally it's like, man,
I just I can't get past this one step.
Speaker 9: I think you see it more just kind of the
side to side, the cuts, the because you start running
straight line pretty early in that rehab process, even sprints
straight line, so they've been doing a lot of that.
It's that first time they got to make that sudden stop,
that sudden cut, you know. And with with contact, even
though it's sometimes a non contact injury. I think just
the idea of getting hit, the idea of avoiding the hit,
there's just something there that kind of sticks, I think
with a lot of these guys.
Speaker 5: Is there is there like.
Speaker 7: Statistics medically, like after surgery, like an ACL on uh,
let's just say, right leg has been fully blown, blow
your ACL then fully repaired. Is there statistics out there
that say this ACL is one hund like a new one,
Like the chance of injury to that same ACL is
the exact same as if you've never or is a
chance of injury to it again A lot.
Speaker 5: Higher question, but it's a good question.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: You So there is a lot of statistics, and I
won't pretend to pull them up off hand, but what
we do know is that there's a lot of variables
to go into it. There's some people that just have
genetic predisposition, you know, the slope of the tibia, the dynamics,
and then and then to be fair, some of them
with the type of.
Speaker 5: Surgery there are there are different surgeries.
Speaker 9: That we do, different graphs that we use, and then honestly,
the quality of the surgeon, and so there's a lot
of variables that go into it. A well done ACL
and somebody without a significant genetic predisposition should be just
about as healthy as the one they've ever had. So,
I mean, but there's there's all these different things to
go into it, so it's hard to kind of break
it down simply. But typically, yeah, we expect that once
it's healthy, it's going to be as good as is
the one they had before.
Speaker 7: It's interesting because I've always heard people like throw out
like they are genetically they're more inclined to get this
or that injury. I never I just for whatever reason,
not thinking too deeply, and I always thought, oh, well,
they just have like weaker ligaments or they're you know,
blood type whatever it is, they're just butt. No, it
makes a lot of the angle of their bones are
a little bit closer or whatever to go and to
be able to hit that or nick that ligament.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's it's pretty interesting. There's a and again
i'll probably butcher if I try and real exactly. But
I went to a conference and there was a guy
who's a position who does ACL reconstructions over in Dubai
for the soccer team, and there's something with certain people
of the Middle Eastern descent that the instance of ACL
there is drastically higher and it has to do all
It was really very interesting because he's like the number
of acls I do.
Speaker 5: He's a guy.
Speaker 9: I'm he's a world expert now because he lives there
and does so many of them. This guy's like and
I feel bad I can't remember his name either, but
but it was really kind of interesting to hear how
many more they see. I mean that the instance was
through the roof compared to what we see here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't think about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I didn't think about like bone structure and yeah,
I just always thought like this. My dad always told
me to drink milk for every meal and you'll be good.
Speaker 5: Yeah I'm still good. Advice. I don't know, I don't know.
It seems to work out all right.
Speaker 4: So obviously, Doc, we're not talking about specific injuries with
the team here, but when you have a bye week
and you're trying to make sure that okay, let's have
some of these conversations like this guy like I think
he can go. I think he needs to get out
there and get some reps or hey, yeah, you know,
maybe this guy, maybe we hold him back just a
little bit and next week when you're preparing for game week,
then he can get right back into the fray Like
what are some of those conversations like?
Speaker 5: And how many you know?
Speaker 4: I guess who do you get involved in those conversations
position coaches?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 5: Where do you go with that? Yeah?
Speaker 9: So it usually starts in the training room with you know,
so we'll use to sit down every we do a
clinic on Sundays after the games, and we'll sit there
each Sunday the team positions with our head athletic trainer
and then yes, sometimes you know, we'll get the input
from the coaching staff.
Speaker 5: A lot of times the trainers are so.
Speaker 9: Up to date on that they kind of already know
a lot of the input from the coaches, but sometimes
we'll kind of reach out and then it is going
to be a case by case, guy by guy. It's
when it really helps to know the individual's personalities. You know,
you know, some guys are gonna be the guys that
need those reps. You know that for them to feel
good on Saturday, they have to be in there. And
then for other guys, you know, you kind of know
that that their mindset, maybe especially some of the guys
that have been around the program long er.
Speaker 5: That's like in the NFL, you'll see a lot of
the vets.
Speaker 9: They get there every Tuesday, they're off or whatever, and
we just know that and so it's not a big
deal if that this guy sits on a certain day.
Speaker 5: And it's kind of the same way.
Speaker 9: We look at our team and we really got to
lean on the training staff and probably more than anybody else,
cause they really know these guys their personalities in and out.
So that's where that communication really comes in. And to
your point, it is it is something that's going to
be different for one guy another. Some guy were like,
we got to get him out there. We got to
see he can do you know, can you cut? Can
you plant? That way they can plan ahead and know
what we're getting into.
Speaker 4: Do you still like, do you do game time decision
type workouts at the collegiate level, because I really I
don't remember. I know in the NFL it was always, hey,
you're gonna get here a little bit early, we're gonna.
Speaker 5: Have some people out here watching, or then we're gonna
work you out.
Speaker 4: We're gonna put you through what we think would be
a game simulation, like do you do stuff like that
in college?
Speaker 5: We definitely will.
Speaker 9: You know, we'll have some of the guys that if
we've been nursing. You know, we've talked a lot on
here about a high ankles. So if we're talking about
a high ankle injury and this guy's rehab and he's
looking pretty good, he's been running. But then on the
same time, you know, just like we talked about all
the ACL injuries, can you cut?
Speaker 5: Can you plant?
Speaker 9: You know, if you're alignment, can you come out of
your stance if you're a running back and you make
that cut. So a lot of times, yeah, we'll get
to the field early or even sometimes prior to that,
earlier in the day if we have the opportunity and
the training staff and maybe the coaches, they go out
there with them field and say hey, look we want
you to do these reps. And if they can't do it,
you know, then we're gonna hold them.
Speaker 7: So Doc, we're talking a lot about like you know,
we know, the injuries are part of the game of football.
It's a collision sport, a lot of people cutting, a
lot of people doing things. But there's a scary side
of that as well, and we saw that pretty recently
in the Oklahoma game. Wide receiver catches the pass and
runs into unfortunately runs into the brick wall with his head.
Neck injury, head injury. Scary situation, and unfortunately that happens
every year. We see scary situations occur. As a doctor,
when something like that happens, what is first thoughts that
go on your mind? What's your first response to your action,
and you know, anything like kind of specifically about the
type of injury that that young man had.
Speaker 9: So those are scary, I think probably if we talk
about the thing that probably for most of us that
were fearful of every time you go into a game.
You know, of course you have your cardiac events similar
to what we have in our hamlet a few years ago,
but that's fortunately even more rare. The neck injury is
something you're going to see. You know, you do this
long enough, you're going to have some neck injuries.
Speaker 5: And so if you see.
Speaker 9: Somebody down a collision injury, you know that's that's a
real scary event. In that play, if you watched it,
he comes straight in the wall and his head was
turned a little bit the side, but it was almost
that axial load hitting the top of the head.
Speaker 5: And that's what we worry about, the motion.
Speaker 9: That's why we tell guys, you know, keeping your head up,
because when you get hit right on the top of
the head, driving the head down into the neck, that's
the big mechanism we worry about. And so when you
get out there, you know that that's that's our first concern.
So we're trying not to move the individual. You don't
want to move the head or neck. You're trying to
assess is it a possible neck injury? Are they moving
their arms? Can they move their their arms, their legs?
Do they have pain in the neck. And if we're
worried about that, that's gonna be somebody that we're going
to try and keep as still as possible because the
concern is that you might have a spine fracture. Then
you move that individual, even a slight movement can shift
that vertebrae just enough to where maybe it wasn't a
spinal cord injury. So this is an individual who maybe
won't be paralyzed and won't have some of those you know,
devastating lifelong effects and if you're not careful, it can
turn into that even with very very subtle movements. So
so it's a really scary injury. That's something that we
have to really protect for. Like I said, we've had
a few of them, you know that every single one
scares you. Yeah, and we've been lucky with the ones
we've had at least here, but it's still a really
really scary event.
Speaker 4: Uh, Doc, I do want to go back real quick
to the New Orleans Saints. So Chase Young edge rusher.
He's been out this entire season so far with a calf.
Now he hasn't been put on IR either though, So like,
if it's not bad enough to put on IR, but
here we are, you know, six seven weeks into the
season and you still haven't been on the field. Jay, Like,
it's hard to speculate, but like, what in a calf,
maybe it could keep you out for that long, but
not severe enough to go on the IR.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So these are.
Speaker 9: I mean, calf injuries are like a lot of injuries
where you're it's kind of like the hamstring, where the
severity can be all over the map.
Speaker 5: They're so easy to reprovoke to.
Speaker 9: Sometimes you think you're good and then that first time
you plant off, the first time you kind of got
to take a big step, you reaggravate it. You know,
you would think probably either a calf strain, maybe a
really bad Achilles tendonitis.
Speaker 5: We saw that with Christomcaffrey last year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, basically missed almost half the year the
the Achilles injuries, which is.
Speaker 5: Not unheard of. It's not common.
Speaker 9: Usually a calf strain using Achilles tenanidis you're looking at
a few weeks more often than not. H My suspicion
usually is that it's an injury.
Speaker 5: That got reaggravated.
Speaker 9: I don't know that in this scenario, but if it's
something that was, say a true calf strain, usually you
can get that better in a few weeks. But maybe
you kind of reaggravated reinjured it, and then that can
be kind of a bear and you can kind of
fight the battle.
Speaker 5: Doc.
Speaker 7: I know over there, Brock, y'all have like the after
hours stuff happening for the orthopedics. Did y'all get an
influx of patients last night after the uh old people
geriatric flag football game at all?
Speaker 9: Wait, I'm gonna have to check the report when I
when I get out, I'm curious to see.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 9: I would not be surprised if there was a very
heavy inflow. Usually we're seeing you a bunch of twelve
to sixteen year olds down that time.
Speaker 4: Look look like the most important thing is you didn't
see two forty year olds in there.
Speaker 5: That's right? Okay? Did we need to go? Maybe? No comment,
but are we there?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Okay? Too gritty to be pretty okay?
Speaker 7: Right, thought about using the elevator for the first time
this morning, but I didn't.
Speaker 5: Had a boy, I would have made fun of you heavily. Doc.
Speaker 4: I know something that we were talking about before over
the tenth is mental health Day. Obviously something very important
when you're dealing with athletics and that can that's a
wide range that could fall into that category.
Speaker 5: Mental Health Day is something I know that you know,
something you want to talk about near and dear to you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's you know, it's very easy most times
about sports injuries. Obviously we're talking about the achilles, the
acl the calf or whatever. And I think it's important
to remember that there's a whole other side of health
that is mental health. It's something that that we had
LSU take very seriously. I'm we have a great staff.
You know, we have sports psychologists on staff there. We
have psychiatrists that come out from our lay the Lake
that round out there on a regular basis. Our athletic
training staff does a great job with it. You know,
it's a it's a big passion that that that so
many of us there have, and you know, it's easy
to forget that that these athletes are are individuals as well.
It's easy to forget that you know, they're going to
suffer with depression and anxiety, all of these things, and
let alone with the riggers that come with being an athlete.
You know, I think we all had the unfortunate reminder
recently with Kyraen Lacy and now everything that's come out
over this past last week with him with such a
horrible situation. How how you know you can you can
think these people are on top of the world. They
can take one event, their lives can tumble out of control.
And I think it's important, you know, I encourage anybody
if they're out there and they're struggling with any kind
of mental health issues, especially with this week kind of
honoring that, you know, please seek out the help you
need to be whether you're.
Speaker 5: A young kid an athlete. I can't say enough you're
not alone.
Speaker 9: You'd be amazed how many of these guys you look
up to that are in the big league based fred
LSU that I've been through it. So so if you're
out there and you think you're alone, I promise you're not.
There are people that can help you for sure.
Speaker 4: All right, there he is our guy, doctor Steven Etheridge.

Speaker 5: So A C two, I'm waiting for one A C two.
Speaker 7: It doesn't work. Go to one O four nine, one
of four five. You can switch back and forth.
Speaker 8: So I don't think one O four to nine sounds
all that great either.
Speaker 7: Something like in my neighborhood, it's better than one of
four five.
Speaker 3: Because you're you're probably a little bit east of here,
aren't you, because see I'm out, I'm not Walker, I'm
way east of here. One four nine is great. One
of four five is not great where I'm at.
Speaker 7: Well, you got options, We're just saying that, or a watch.
Speaker 5: On YouTube check it.
Speaker 6: Out, also live stream on the little bit upset on
the app or the website.
Speaker 8: Wait what about doc?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 5: Doc pointed out. If you go to YouTube, you can
see us.
Speaker 7: Dock pointed out when he came in any more in
Florida colors today, and I did not mean to do that.
Speaker 5: That's all me.
Speaker 4: You picked them to win. You're wearing their colors today.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 7: That's how strongly that I felt about that.
Speaker 5: When I picked Florida to win, I was gonna say
something else. But I think it would have got you mad.
It's another Florida point. Mm hmm.
Speaker 7: Guess something else one you know else got mad? Head
coach for the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 5: He did. We talked about it. You know who else
got mad? The NFL? Oh did they take some dollars
out of his pocket?
Speaker 7: The NFL fined well Jonathan Gannon' yes, Jonathan Gannon find
him one hundred thousand dollars yesterday for one hundred physically
hitting his player. Now, the clips that were coming out before,
like midday yesterday, it was like, yeah, you could tell
he hit him, but you couldn't really see it. But
the crystal clear view from another angle came out. Yeah,
he bobbed up his fist to hit him. Oh do
we have can we get the view?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I should have probably ask Taylor to pull it up
before I brought it up. But yeah, I've been good radio.
Speaker 5: But we were jamming to Mario.
Speaker 7: But yeah, he Yeah, he definitely hit him. So you know,
don't hit your players.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't do that. I mean hit their pads.
Get him fired up. You can do that.
Speaker 7: I'm all about old school. You can grab my face
mask if you want.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sitting here and I'm looking at all this
stuff on the desk looking I forgot somebody got mad
at me for talking about the Saints while having a
Charger's helmet on the desk.
Speaker 8: That's stupid what he said.
Speaker 5: Once you go cover the Chargers, don't talk about the Saints.
I mean, we do kind of talk about jokes on you.
Speaker 3: We do a much bigger Saints helmet next to it.
Speaker 5: I know, I thought it was funny.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, so you want somebody only pumped
sunshine for the Saints.
Speaker 8: At Sunshine Pumpers. Yeah, o TV, ain't.
Speaker 7: That been pumping some Saints sunshine?
Speaker 5: Though.
Speaker 6: I think we've been real pretty good, Yeah, pretty good.
I think we're being realistic, even Saints correspondent.
Speaker 5: We're way more positive than him. Yeah. Now I think
a couple congratulations we gotta win.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, isn't that great?
Speaker 5: Offense?
Speaker 8: Is like, I don't know about I don't know about the.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I guess I feel all right, I
feel okay about it.
Speaker 3: We were we were talking yesterday. Everybody's like, oh, the
season reasons out, it might be an upgrade. Tors Selly
Simpkins was the lowest graded player.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he had a twelve passing grade not grade
not grade twelve twelve yeah, not out of twenty yep.
Speaker 5: But you know what the difference is. He was in
the first round pick. He's an undrafted free agent, so.
Speaker 7: Oh so yeah, he's find them.
Speaker 3: Well, here's your bright spot. Spencer's playing grade. He had
a bad line. What happens when he gets a good one.
Speaker 4: He did actually run block much better than he passed block.
But again he talked about it. That's kind of why
you need Spencer back there right now. Like he's efficient,
making good decisions, good quarterback, and like when he does
have pressure, he's doing a nice job. Is still finding
a window to throw the football. He's not taking a
lot of negative plays. You might call him a check
down Charlie, and there was some of that for sure
in the beginning of the season. But also he's doing
a nice job of evading the rush and then hitting
his checkdown. Which I've never been in a quarterback room,
but I would assume when you have pressure and you
hit the check down, you get a positive check mark
on that play.
Speaker 5: Yep, right check.
Speaker 7: So now I think Nick did make the point yesterday,
like yeah, we could. I wish you'd push it a
little bit more, try to push the vote a little
bit more. But like when when you have a roster deficiency,
it's like turnovers are going to kill you. Turnovers like
it takes all any chance you got at pulling one
out against the you know, probably a superior team athletically,
like from from top to bottom on a roster, turnovers
will will absolutely kill you. I mean we saw that
this past week. But we won the turnover battle a
whole lot. Now, the turnover differentiate, uh differentiation there.
Speaker 5: Was that's a big word.
Speaker 7: Wherever Uh it's the score should have been a lot,
a lot more too, a lot less because of the turnover.
Speaker 4: But you know, there's there's But we're getting better. I
think they're going to have their best offensive game this week. Yeah,
I think sas are going to have their best offensive
game this week. Now, does it lead to a win?
Speaker 5: I don't know. That offense on the other side is
pretty damn good. I think yeah.
Speaker 7: I think progressively, you're going to see this offense improve
week after week. Now you might have a week where
production a couple couple of things missed. Production might be
a little bit down but I think at if you
look at as a whole, if you look at it
like month by month, this offense is going to get
a lot better. You're going to see a lot more
plays being made. Sure, there's going to be bad plays
because offensive line deficiencies. Yeah, but that running games coming.
Kendre Miller is running great. I just think the receivers,
tight ends can get more camp like. People are going
to get more confident.
Speaker 5: More confident one of having your tight end back.
Speaker 7: Kellen Moore is going to get better at at having
the duties of head coach and being a play caller.
We already see I see him getting better and better
and better. So it's it's a group like we're it's
not unrealistic expectations. We don't think they're going to play,
We don't think they're win their division. Just want to
see improvement.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what you saw last weekend, you hope to see
again this week. All right, before we take this break,
