Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn. I
say Hester and Hester got it from.
Speaker 2: Carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each other
on the air.
Speaker 3: Let's stop control the.
Speaker 1: Live from the Raisin Kine studio. It's off the bench.
Speaker 4: Hey, we'd again, I was that's three uh oh t
b here live from a mobile Alabama. Obviously there's a
lot that we started the show with, so this week
we're doing a little bit different, but we don't want
you to forget about our friends over at go flow
iv SPA. Go flow iv dot com is the website
g e a u x flow iv dot com. And
if you're feeling a little under the weather, or if
you want to be preventative and you want to make
sure you don't feel under the weather, you want to get.
Speaker 3: A little boost of energy, which I gotta be honest
with you, I think I.
Speaker 5: Could use a whole be from goph Yeah right about now.
Speaker 4: You don't like the cold weather, but the cold weather
turns me into an old man. And and if my
wife is listening, she is nodding her head, yes, because
I have turned I have turned cold soft in my
old age.
Speaker 5: Like if there's a wind blowing. I go tights.
Speaker 4: If there's a wind blowing and I gotta be out there,
I get sleepy like an old man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's pretty disappointing to that lack of grit that
you have. I know, with weather below sixty degrees and
you know what that energy might be because you're dehydrated.
Because a lot of people get dehydrated in the cold
weather because they don't their brain doesn't.
Speaker 3: I drink so much water though, you don't just kind
of drink any water.
Speaker 6: But anyway, he needs to go to go flow and
get hydrated, get vitaminized, boost out a moon system, A
little ivy therapy straight to the veins works, immediately, get hydrated,
get vitamized, go flow heavy.
Speaker 4: Hey, I just saw Doug Nussmeyer walk behind us. I
don't remember seeing Doug on the coaching staff.
Speaker 6: If they were Oh, if he's here as a parent,
he's not supposed to be credential a little special treatment here.
Speaker 3: I'm glad they led Doug in there, though. Shout out
to Doug. Hey, when was that practice yesterday?
Speaker 6: I was watching different position groups, and holy white tight end,
there's a lot, My goodness, there is a tie that
I thought the tight end group showed out yesterday and
I was trying to like a couple of guys that
flashed and just individual route running, being a smooth route runner.
Number eighty seven for the national team. No, I'm sorry,
Number eighty eight Tanner Cozial from Houston. I don't know
if you know anything about I have no idea if
he's like projected to be a draft pick or not.
He looked really good. But in the day and age
from Houston.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you not remember the Texas Bowl?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, all right, couldn't cover him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was really good, made a lot of play,
really smooth route runner. There was a lot of impressive
plays made by that tight end group. The linebacker in
one on one is the linebacker and safety group had
a tough time covering those guys. And so that's it's
just the emergence of like we talked about, the rams
in the NFL. One of the top top offenses all
year running thirteen personnel. And I think you're going to
get I think that is a trend that is just
taking off more and more every year in the NFL.
You're gonna get a lot of these dynamic, big body
athletic tight ends playing, and there are some good ones
here at the Senior Bowl. There's another Texas A and
M tight end, Nate Borkatcher, and so one of these
strange games. Look, we're gonna say names wrong. I get
it kind of known he was dynamic blocking. Yeah, he
looked really good in like the inside run period. There
were the individual run blocking period. He's kind of known.
Speaker 3: To be a big body.
Speaker 6: But he also made some plays with his hands running route.
So I look for him as a pretty dynamic player.
But I just think that tight end group looks really
good here. I'm gonna keep watching them as they create bad,
bad matchups. And that's why that emergence of that tight
end grew, or that tight end in the offense in
the NFL has really come, because you know, they're tight
ends forever been known to be these big blocking guys.
Then we kind of went to are they're kind of
like a hybrid receiver type. We're gonna split them out,
kind of like l shit with a trade dads kind of.
But now they're playing. It's these big, strong dudes that
can block. But man, they are getting more and more
athletic and route running and their hands were really impressive yesterday.
So that's something to keep watching for and watching all
offenses as we go in the next couple of years
in the NFL, watching the emergency of these tight ends
because a lot of playmakers out there and they create
a lot of mismatch and advantages for an offense.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, the Houston tight end against ill Shooting the
bowl game.
Speaker 5: He had nine.
Speaker 4: Catches for seventy six yards and a touchdown, certainly a
big part of their He was actually their leading receiver
that late night in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 3: So it's good scout by me yesterday them. Yeah, nailed it.
Speaker 4: Well, hmmm, do I want to give you the win
or do I want to say give it?
Speaker 5: You should have been watching the Texas ball.
Speaker 3: I did watch it, but in Houston. Remembered him off
that trying to think of where I was watching the
Textas ball. Somewhere.
Speaker 6: I think I was watching textaball somewhere. I couldn't listen
to it.
Speaker 3: You were listening to me and Chris Blair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in your ear exactly at LSU Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 3: Shut out.
Speaker 6: One thing I didn't do. We talked about because barry
On Brown had stepped in. I was trying to talk
about the quarterback performances. Yeah, that I saw yesterday over
on the and for the National the first brightest I thought,
Diego looked like it's really close like everybody.
Speaker 3: It's so similar. It's a good day by all quarterbacks.
Speaker 6: They all quarterbacks too, They all impressed. They made plays.
Diego made some plays. I thought he probably, if I
had to grade, probably looked the best cold paid number
two saw your Robinson, Number three saw your Robinson was
going to third.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He he didn't do the one on ones receivers
versus corners.
Speaker 6: He did the backs versus tight ends and safety. So
I'm trying to say they'll rotate. Well, usually the usually.
Speaker 3: The third guy goes with.
Speaker 5: You think that's important.
Speaker 6: Both called paid and in Diego did his an explosive
play as well down the field on the later practice
in America. If I had to like put it all together,
I might say Luke Altmeyer made a few more, maybe
made a few more plays, and Garrett, but they're kind
of like right there, neck and Neck. I had tailing
Green at the third just because he's getting used to
playing under the center.
Speaker 3: The operation looked a little bit sloppy, but.
Speaker 4: It sounds bad, but it was much better enough. I
was expecting darnsday.
Speaker 6: Yeah, his mechanics are more shoulder pushy, and he throws
a nose down ball. We talked about that having to
cut to the wind, but his mechanics.
Speaker 3: He's just just watching the warm up.
Speaker 6: He throws a harder ball to catch and yeah, the
other two like a have a higher rpm. The noses
pointed up. Luke Almar impressed me. He's got he's got
real He's got good control of his trajectory. Trajectory control.
He can get it up and over, makes good decisions
on when when to put a little air under it,
when to drive it. I was really impressed. He's got
a lot of arm and hand talent. It comes off
his hand clean. He can throw it from different different
arm angles and nuts. I mean, he probably made the
most impressive throw of the day on a go back
shoulder throwing one on ones on a on a deep ball,
which was which was really great. He tried to do
it a little bit later on in practice. I think
you're in a team drill and the receiver wasn't really
ready for it, wasn't expecting it. But again I thought
all quarterbacks had a really good day, and well, I
would expect that with full pads, I would expect the
team periods to pick up that operation.
Speaker 5: Running backs maybe have a bigger impact.
Speaker 6: Yeah, uarterbacks should have a better impact. But there were
some good performances with with the running backs yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4: I didn't watch him in the totality of the practice,
but in one on ones routes and pass protection, I
thought they actually.
Speaker 3: Did Yeah, pretty well.
Speaker 6: Uh the kid from Clemson flash to me, except he
had a really bad rap at one on one pass protection.
Speaker 4: So Adam Randall he moved from receiver at Clemson two
running back, and he's one of those guys that excite
you because you see the flashes and you're like, okay,
is it too late in the game. Can he make
that transition? Because you're right, I saw like good good rep.
Oh oh boy. And then I saw like a good run,
good run, and I saw, oh, man, dude, you gotta
pick your head up like that.
Speaker 5: You can't run like that.
Speaker 4: So he's still trying to learn the position, but you
certainly can see why he's here in mobile.
Speaker 6: Yeah, certainly. Yeah, he flashes and then another one I
had Mark down as well. Kentucky running back Seth McGowan,
I believe. Yeah, he had a couple of really good
plays as well. I saw a big deal. All right,
just memorize these names, you know, too good of a
memory on names across the bear.
Speaker 4: It's hard, like if you are and we talked about
this when we're talking about Cole Payton yesterday, because he's
like a dual thread guy. It's kind of hard when
you're in a practice situation like this, but certainly like
for running backs when you're not fully padded, it is.
Speaker 3: So I am excited for the running back position to
be able to go.
Speaker 4: Out there, and certainly if you're like a power back, yeah,
to be able to at least like break through some
arm tackles. Cause look, the defensive guys, it is what
it is. They're not gonna listen. They're gonna bring it
to the ground today.
Speaker 3: No doubt. The first five plays of team period, there
will be tackles. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So for sure, out there and run like they're trying
to tall.
Speaker 6: Yesterday they were those coaches were yelling yesterday.
Speaker 3: Stay off the ground.
Speaker 6: You can tell his first practice yesterday. Let's get used
to it. Let's pop some shoulder pads a little bit.
Speaker 3: I would expect some a little bit more fireworks today.
Speaker 6: So excited about getting back out there and excited for
the temperature to be a little bit warmer as well.
Speaker 3: I know you are, mister wimp.
Speaker 6: I don't try to hide from it. A lot of
beta energy when it comes to weather with this one.
Speaker 4: I don't like the cold weather. I didn't like him
when I played. Actually I didn't really care when I played.
As I get older, yep, I don't know what it is.
Maybe I am dehydrated.
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe the Senior Bowl is a really great place
that people watch as well. Lander and I were trying
to fumble around and get this on video. Yesterday we
saw Dabbo on the sideline, so Brent Vinables was sitting
there talking. Landra made the comment of real strong face
Brent Vnibles has. He does really engage in all conversation,
like what like can you do you blink? That's my
thoughts when I was watching him. But Dabo sees Brent
Vnables and he sneaks up on him like a lion
sneaking up on prey down and then he gets up
big bear hug from the back.
Speaker 3: It was fantastic.
Speaker 6: I wish we would have caught it on tape.
Speaker 3: It was a really funny moment for me.
Speaker 6: And you go from like seeing Daba making all these
like cringe worthy like comments recently and then you see
him in person, You're like, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 3: I uh oh Dabo. Yeah.
Speaker 4: He turned down an interview with the NFL radio yesterday.
They said, I'm off the greed.
Speaker 3: That's what he said. I'm off the greed.
Speaker 7: What.
Speaker 4: No, you're at the seabolere on the just because you
like went through picture of everything your full phone log with.
Speaker 3: An Ole Miss.
Speaker 6: Saw you sneak up on your old defensive coordinator like
a cat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, I just saw somebody. Sorry I blacked out there.
I just saw somebody from the Chargers yep, that I
haven't seen in probably fifteen years.
Speaker 3: Nice and he.
Speaker 4: Just like made eye contact, gave me the old head
node had seen that guy Chris in fifteen years.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was staring real hard, and I was like,
he must know one of you because he was like, yeah,
very's being so aggressive today?
Speaker 3: Is that hester that let us coming out the back
of his head? Pet? Yeah, let's don't get a lot
of star We don't need.
Speaker 4: To go down that path. Okay, it's my midlife crisis. Okay,
I'm enjoying it in the hat. Okay at night when
I watch it, it makes me feel better about myself.
Speaker 3: Okay, absolutely.
Speaker 4: I mean you know you've been there. Yeah, you do you, Bud, Yeah,
you've been Look. I have pictures of you in a
jet uniform with a mullet.
Speaker 8: And that same mustache. I went a little yeah.
Speaker 3: Actually I actually wasn't a mullet. I wish it was.
I was at the point out they kind of just
grew straight back.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're so intertwining with white trash
DNA and that what they told.
Speaker 3: Joe dirt Yep, just like that. Yeah, and no, my hair,
it was.
Speaker 6: It was one of those moments where, you know, I
started getting my clear hair back.
Speaker 5: Here you're blonde hair.
Speaker 6: And I was like, you know what, I've never had
long hair because of you know, it kind of grows
up and kind of stick and kind of curly, and
it just kind.
Speaker 3: Of poofs up a little bit. I'm just gonna do
it this one time. And we did it.
Speaker 6: I got it to cut it to a length where
I did a man bun. Then I cut it.
Speaker 3: Oh you had a man bun.
Speaker 6: Oh that was like, my god, I'm going to get
it to a length where I can do like can
do a man bun. So he had a ponytail, Yeah,
I could, like, I mean, it wasn't that long, but
it was kind of it was lengthy.
Speaker 5: How often didn't put it in a ponytail? Never a ponytail? Well,
like man bon So it's the same process always.
Speaker 3: He's lived in a man bun. Yeah, pretty much. So
no way.
Speaker 6: So when when Huck was born, we took newborn photos
and like, I know, I don't have.
Speaker 8: Like the grin you did not have, And so I
had this.
Speaker 6: I had my long hair and the newborn photos and
Lacey got the photos back and I looked at him
and I shaved my hand.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, I thought you were about to say you
had the man fun and the photos.
Speaker 3: Oh no, sorry, Huck. Yep, sorry about that.
Speaker 8: Hot Yeah, your dad just ruined your newborn photos. That's crazy, right, yep.
Speaker 6: Now there's this picture of me with holding Huck and
like it's just like part of my face with the
hair cut out.
Speaker 3: So that's the one. Yeah, that's the one we use.
Speaker 8: Makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was bad.
Speaker 6: So yep, shave my head right there on the spot. Like, no,
that saint for me. Midlife crisis over, you.
Speaker 3: Were like thirty, mid life crisis over.
Speaker 8: You're gonna die?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, like like see, I'm forty, so like
you can have a couple of eighty. I played full bag.
I'm not making it to eighty. So like I can
say midlife, you can't say it.
Speaker 3: Break the power of those words. Man, Come on, you
can't see modern technology, no reason we can't live to
be one, forty one, forty five.
Speaker 5: I don't want to live on forty five.
Speaker 8: It's a long time.
Speaker 3: It's forever. A lot of senior balls.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, just the.
Speaker 8: Most so many seer bulls.
Speaker 5: It's just the most.
Speaker 7: Wait, but for real, Matt, real quick. Matt was like
the most journalist person out there yesterday.
Speaker 8: He had his notebook out, he had his pen, he
had the roster, and he was like looking at the
he was so true.
Speaker 6: Got mistaken from some fans out there, not not me fan.
Please uh for a scout, are you scalp?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Basically scouting for myself, scouting for our listeners. I was
about to say, telling my rank rankings, my QB rankings.
Speaker 4: Oh, Daniel basham asking a great question inside the buy
four chat. Okay, so Flynn had his hair in the
most Cali style ever?
Speaker 3: Is that cal?
Speaker 5: Oh California?
Speaker 8: What team were you on when you had that? I
feel like we looked up this man before it was.
Speaker 6: The Oh yeah, you can find some of the the
Jets started with the Patriots and the Jets, and then
with the Saints. I'm gonna cut it for the Saints
whenever the newborn photos got back.
Speaker 3: In Jets, Matt.
Speaker 6: Flynn, Oh you got that? So I got there's some
lettuce coming out of the helmet for sure.
Speaker 3: Oh whoa, oh.

Speaker 2: Off the bench with Hester and Flynn live from the

First American Banking Trust.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTV here live from the
Penniss Senior Ball. Don't really see the picture that I
was hoping for to see this, man Buond? I see
the front of the man bun in your press conference
with the Jets. Sure, I need to see the back
of the man bun. It's not out there. So if
you do find a picture, upset, man Bond, please.
Speaker 3: Hit us up send it to us on social media.
Speaker 6: That'd be great. Pretty sure, I don't know. I don't
know when I cut it. Huck was born in September,
so not so that.
Speaker 4: You were there with Fitzmagic, Yeah, Bryce, Petty, Okay, bayloric.
Speaker 6: That was right after Gino Smith got punching the jaw
by a teammate in the locker room. Signed me, I
was a rented quarterback for a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's number three here? That Betty? Oh No, I
don't know who. Answer that question is.
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, let's don't ask too many questions here. That
won't get answered, all right, So we do have a
second practice today. And yesterday we spent a lot of
the show talking about potential fits for the New Orleans Saints,
and we talked about some long, lengthy receivers. We mentioned
Melanchi Fields from Notre Dame. You said, yeah, he oppressed you.
Jacobe Lane from USC he might even be longer than
I thought, Yeah, that he was going into it. So
it was a couple of those players. But the Texas
Tech receivers. Good on you, because, like I also like
I didn't really have a big book on them coming
in to the Senior Bowl, but they certainly impressed the
first day of practice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they did cleaner out running, making some plays. I
think who was it number five, because they have two
of them that are pretty big, but I believe it
was Caleb Douglas. I think he's wearing five. He made
a play early.
Speaker 3: On a backside.
Speaker 6: Post route thumb by Cole Paid and we went up
and grabbed it really good, really good.
Speaker 3: Strength at the point of catch. So it was impressive.
Speaker 6: So those are again, those are the three guys that
I kind of looked at yesterday. I will be watching
them again today to kind of get a better feel
for their route running abilities and.
Speaker 3: Ball skills.
Speaker 6: And that's mile like hat Fields from Notre Dame Wide Receiver,
Jacobe Lane Wide Receiver from USC, and Caleb Douglas.
Speaker 3: Texas Tech Wide Receiver. So those guys were a lot of.
Speaker 6: Fun to watch yesterday, and yeah, I'm going to continue
watching that wid receiver room because as we talked about yesterday,
you have to put weapons around Tyler Shuck, and it
starts with the pass catchers.
Speaker 3: Of course, they're working on.
Speaker 6: A long term deal with Chris Alava now, but we
would certainly expect that he's going to get around that
thirty million dollars a year contract. Whether you believe that's
a great fit or not for the long term, it is.
Speaker 3: It is what it is.
Speaker 6: The stats, the stats speak for themselves, and he has
earned that.
Speaker 3: And but of.
Speaker 6: Course there's limitations of a skill set. So I think
these are three guys that I saw yesterday. Now it's
not the only guys out there that could fit, but
that's certainly three guys that would fit that mold that
at least we've been talking about it. And I think
a lot of people feel the same way. Big body
guy give us a big target in the red zone,
kind of be that opposite skill set that Chris Alave
get you.
Speaker 4: It feels like that's where they're going to go at eight,
but they do have options. It's do you want to
get the elite receiver in a good edge rusher in
the second round? Do you want to get an elite
edge rusher in a good receiver. I think they've got
to have those conversations where they're at at the running
back position, something.
Speaker 5: We also talked about yesterday.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Their running back coach is the head coach for the
American team, so they're going to be able to evaluate
the running backs here. But the running back that we're
talking about in that position is only one.
Speaker 5: It's Jeremy Love from Notre Dame.
Speaker 4: I think you have way more pressing issues then the
running back position. Although I think Love is going to
be a really good player, I just think he fits
better with somebody else. If that's like one of the
final pieces needed, like Kansas City, like that makes a
lot of sense to me. At nine, Loved to make
a lot of sense to me. At the Saints. There's
some really good free agent running backs. Was it Breese Hall,
Kenneth Walker. I think both those guys are going to
be free in this upcoming class, and so like, if
you want to go there, that's fine.
Speaker 3: If you want to go you know later in the draft,
that's obviously fine.
Speaker 4: You got Devin Neil on the roster, Kendre Miller, somebody
who've talked a lot about ak in his situation. So
it just feels like it would be wasted resources grabbing
a running back at eight.
Speaker 3: It feels like receiver Edge Rusher.
Speaker 6: I would be as somebody that's trying his hardest to
be a fan. Hey, I would be disappointed if they
took Jeremiah Love that early. I would love to see
And we talked about this with Nick yesterday and I
think he would love to see And I think all
Saints fans can agree. Niggi Loemis. We'd like for him
to do what he doesn't traditionally do. I'd like to
see them get more draft picks. Yeah, they got a
valuable resource with that pick. Right, trade you can trade back.
You could trade back to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and still
get an extra good draft pick, right, or have one
another one for next year. Like, so there's there's assets
that you have, so use them, use them wisely. And
but if you are going to take somebody building around Tyler,
shuck because that's that's the big that's the main domino
that has to fall, and it has fallen, so make
sure it hits other dominoes.
Speaker 4: I'll give you another receiver that did stand out yesterday,
and that was Georgia State receiver Ted Hurst.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: It was early in the first practice.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you had gotten settled yet, but
he made a couple of plays. He's six three, two
hundred and seven pounds and he had a one headed
catch down the sideline early in the practice, kind of
one of those ones that stops practice. But he was
somebody that yesterday Drew Fabianis was if you remember when
I asked him about small school guys, uh, he mentioned
ted Hurst. And so that's another guy to pay attention
to if you decide to go elite Ed Rusher at
number eight and later on in the draft, if you
want to go third, fourth round, even with a guy
like ted Hurst, he'll be there as well. So Saints fans,
if you're watching senior ball practice on the NFL Network.
Speaker 3: Pay attention to Georgia State receiver Ted Hurst.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we kind of highlighted hit this guy earlier.
But Tyrone Montgomery from John Carroll College, he made the
final play of the first practice head top. Somebody caught
like really strong at the point of catch. People on
TV would call it he got moss. Yes, by a
kid from John Carroll. Certainly have to prove something coming
from a smaller school like that. But also watching in
the one on one routes, super crisp route running like
he had some guys turned around and embarrassed a couple
of guys on some reps. So I'm gonna watch him
and just continue to see that. I can't wait for practice,
can't wait for practice today. I do want to see
some of these.
Speaker 3: Big receivers too. How they block in the run game, Yeah,
so important.
Speaker 6: There was They did a specific drill yesterday that was
screen blocking one on one because it's such a big
part of the game.
Speaker 3: Now you see the best of the best.
Speaker 6: You see Pooka and Akua in the playoffs making blocks
down the field, springing other guys for touchdowns. It's such
an important, under under appreciated part of the football game.
Speaker 5: You really think making loomis with trade back.
Speaker 3: No, but I'd liked it. I would. I would like
to see that happen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have strong, a strong desire to like this.
Speaker 6: Well, I told you I'm trying so hard, Guys, I
really do. I want to be a Saints fan. You
can just say, like, oh, just go do it. Well,
I got it, but it'll be dumb. He make good decisions,
make good decisions. Just don't don't don't don't let Roger
Goodell say. For the first pick, I take Jeremiah Love. Yeah,
he's a great player.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I love running backs too. I just don't think i'd
be the right.
Speaker 6: That's not the weapon to surround yourself like Tyler suck
with all right, Stunker though, take him, Take him in

Speaker 6: Uh and the bite for Chad here as people will
mention the name Lee Hunter. He is somebody I saw yesterday.
Speaker 5: Did you mention him?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I mentioned him before. I don't know if we mentioned
all the show. We were talking about it this morning though. Uh,
Texas Tech, INTI your defensive lineman. He's wearing number ten
on Yeah. I don't know what he wore at Texas Tech,
but at ten here at the at the Senior ball.
My god, he's a mammoth. He's a big bull and
he showed out and he could move. He won a
lot of one on one battles. And I know defensive
line is something that certainly the would we wouldn't hate
to see the Saints kind of get some more bodies
in there improve at so he is for me just
going forward to the NFL one to watch. Certainly he
is a he is a run stuffer, got that motor,
got that big body can clog up a lot of
those gaps. In there and command double teams, then let
your linebackers work behind it. That's what a good defensive
tackle does, command double teams and let your linebacker scrape
and make plays in the gap. And that's I mean,
he's he looked good yesterday. I thought he flashed really
early to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was trying to look up his stats for
the year.
Speaker 4: He had forty one total tackles, two and a half
sacks from the interior of the defensive line, one force fumble,
so certainly had some good stats.
Speaker 5: Forty one tackles.
Speaker 4: It might not sound like a life if you were
talking about linebacker, where you're talking about interior defensive line.
Speaker 5: That's a big number there and two and a half sacks.
Speaker 4: It was getting pressure from the interior as well, and
he certainly did. And he was like when you look
at the winner's list from everybody that's here, he was
almost on every single one of them.
Speaker 5: He actually wore number two, sure Texas.
Speaker 3: Yeah he's from Mobile, Alabama as well. Ah here, Oh yeah,
he's got the people here. Man. He can't from Mobile
to Big Bad.
Speaker 8: So his high school just kind of honored him. I
saw this yesterday, and they did like a Lee Hunter day.
Speaker 3: Oh nice, nice shout out least all right, Okay, so
I see his face here. I have seen him walking
around a little bit. Good for him. Yeah, six four
three point thirty unit.
Speaker 5: There was a lot of talent on the defensive line.
Speaker 3: Yes, six nine wingspan pretty good. Usually it's supposed to be.
Wingspan's supposed to be like your height.
Speaker 6: That's what they tell you in elementary school, So like
if you're like, if you're five nine and seven eighth,
that's usually should be what you are.
Speaker 3: From fingertip to fingertips keep saying five nine seven eights.
Who's five nine seven eights. It's just I pulled a random,
random height out. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh you got to get Diego.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 8: He's on our list.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I supposed to have seen him.
Speaker 4: I was supposed to be front of the show first,
like Monday, for like a little bit.
Speaker 8: I haven't seen him today.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got a feeling if we get him on
the show though, from seven to ten, he's definitely gonna curse.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be like, look at me, look at me,
do not do it. I guess his actual radio.
Speaker 3: Jacob Hester is Heisman voter. I get it. She can
for him custom out. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Literally for him. All right, Yeah, so you gotta get
Lee Hunter. We're gonna get Aaron Anderson to sit down.
Speaker 3: And with us at least. That's the Have you interviewed
Aaron before?
Speaker 6: I feel like it's he's one of these guys, maybe
because of his injuries this year.
Speaker 3: I don't remember ever hearing him and him speak before
on anything that's that I remember.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm looking forward to seeing him because, like
we said, Aaron Anderson didn't get the opportunities in practice
yesterday in like the seven on seven of the team,
but he had really good chrisp route running all throughout
the day and made some really good moves.
Speaker 3: In one on one.
Speaker 6: So I can't wait to see. I'm I'm looking forward
as they install some more plays. A lot of the
passes yesterday went to tight ends and outside receivers. Slot
receiver didn't get a whole lot of love yesterday, So
as they as they continue to install more plays, I
expect him to flash. He did make a couple of
moves where the crowd went, so what's.
Speaker 3: More of that?
Speaker 5: Uh, you have to go interview Jennings Darnker I know.
Speaker 3: That guy's awesome. I don't even want to interview. I
just want to be his friend. I mean, that's you
started the process. Start the process.
Speaker 4: It starts as a small friendship that you started a
mobile Alabama, and it turns into a brotherhood whichever team
he goes.
Speaker 3: Jenny's what are you? What are you doing later? Should
you grab a beer? Madam at the Senior?
Speaker 5: I got this rooftop bar at our hotel?
Speaker 3: Yeah no, man, that's super Bowl. I'm talking with NFL guys.
All right? Can I get your number? Like, like, what's up?
You'll be friends?
Speaker 5: Will you please do that?
Speaker 6: He reminds me so much of Peter Daikowski story shorts,
hands on the hip setting like this wallet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, guys, he's not from Canada.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 6: I don't think the redness, the red, the red hue
of his male dominates Peters though.
Speaker 3: I agree, So I think you should definitely go try
to get him. He's gonna be there. It's me so
many people though, they're doing the quarterbacks first, since you
all the schedule.
Speaker 4: We already got Garrett, we already got Cole, we already
got Luke, So you just need diego Papa Sawyer Robinson
and Taylor Green.
Speaker 3: I don't know no names.
Speaker 8: Guy, that's your So they're also on our list too, Yeah,
so I don't know.
Speaker 5: Come on, people, we need you to do. He needs
you to do some investigative reporting.
Speaker 3: No, ye, did you get in there?
Speaker 5: Get them there at the microphones at first?
Speaker 3: Se so yeah?
Speaker 8: No, no, no, I forgot them at home. Yes, so
that's on me.
Speaker 7: Fumble the bag, chest tap, that's why you don't pack hungover.
Speaker 5: I thought you meant you just forgot him at the hotel.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, they are not here. And I started
panicking and I started looking.
Speaker 7: Up like different wireless headphones or microphones around us, and
I'm like, I'm not going to spend one hundred dollars
on microphones.
Speaker 8: And then I was like man.
Speaker 7: And then Rivers texted me and she was like, you
got several shout outs in the meeting today, and I
was like.
Speaker 8: I don't deserve him.
Speaker 1: I forgot the mics.
Speaker 3: We got these mics though. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I did everything else right but that and I didn't
get Dabbo hugging Brent Ventables.
Speaker 8: I should have had the foresight.
Speaker 3: It was so disappointed.
Speaker 4: I know this is I don't think I've ever had
a landra have a slipop at shocking.
Speaker 8: No one is more disappointed in me than I am
and myself. I promise you that.
Speaker 3: If she had a chin strap, she would writ the
chin strap off from bad.
Speaker 8: I almost wanted to cry yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was like and then I was like, man,
I forgot to tell you.
Speaker 3: And then I was thinking, like, you don't have to
do that, and like, I think she would just drive.
Speaker 5: Back to the hotel and get the microphones. Like that
was another part of my confusion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't give it, but I wouldn't give it anything.
Speaker 8: He's like, no, we're not doing it. I was like, okay.
Speaker 7: I was like, if I go to Baton Rousian back,
that's a six hour drive. I can make it back
by tomorrow. Like I was thinking about everything.
Speaker 5: Actually, I actually might have to have something.
Speaker 3: I might have some.
Speaker 5: I don't really know how to work these, and you I.
Speaker 8: Can work pretty much anything, right, and if.
Speaker 5: I remember that same quality as the ones that you had, fine,
I think I might have some.
Speaker 3: I do have to we're back. I do tell the people.
Speaker 6: This is a doing radio three hours a day, five
days a week. It's a vulnerable position. So we tell
you our fears, our likes or not likes. I will
say I think a lot of former players would probably
struggle with this.
Speaker 3: It's not a fear. It's like having to go and
be that media.
Speaker 6: Guy to stick a microphone in a player's face after
being a player. I think I remember T Bop saying
the same thing when I saw when he was in
the locker room after a practice when I was with
the Saints. He's like, man, I can't stand this part
of the thing, Like this is tough, like going from
being a player with a microphone that is a little
bit of a That's a difficult thing for me to
get wrap my head around because as a player, you
didn't really like it.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god, I gotta do this.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, this is kind of what I wanted
to do, so but I completely understand what you're saying.
That's why I try to form some quick relationship with
with the person. I mean being like, hey, I promise,
like you know, we're cool, man. Yeah, it's been twenty years,
but like we once were athletes.
Speaker 3: So I try to do that, yep, And like I
try to get people.
Speaker 4: To like I had Kaylon Black from Indiana yesterday and
like him and I've been together for three weeks now, yeah,
right right, So like that gets easier and you try
to like, hey, what's up, brother, how's it going?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 5: Hey, me and you three weeks following Indiana? You know,
you try whatever you can, but I get it.
Speaker 6: His helmet, like the Indiana helmet is a sharp helmet,
that color pattern like that. It's like a shiny matt
Ish type situation. They did a good job. They upgraded
their team, and they upgrade their helmet. Look good, feel good.
Speaker 3: Play good. That's what they say.
Speaker 5: Indiana did that a couple of times.
Speaker 3: He had.
Speaker 4: He had a hell of a National championship game. He's
like going back to what I was talking about with
running backs not being able to really highlight what they're
good at. Yesterday with shorts own watch him today. Yeah,
he is like knees and elbows everywhere, any angry kind
of guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this is this will be. This will be
a big running back day. I mean, it's put the
pads on. Let's hear those, Let's hear the pads crack
a little bit. Offensive linement, linebacker, running backs, there's gonna
be yeah, this is one of those days again, just
like in one on ones where they ain't no hiding
here at the Senior Bowl. Either you do or you don't,
and everybody's watching, everybody's taking notes, so excited to see
those running backs run. So yeah, you didn't get There's
only so much you can see with with the with
the not tackling, the not really hitting. But the first
practice they hit more than most people do on a
first practice, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: No question they they are the most intense practices that
ever I ever was a part of.
Speaker 5: I was like, guys, hey, chill up. Now we're in shorts.
Speaker 3: Now put up, don't relaxed.
Speaker 4: We're doing inside run I remember, and it's just like
the most physical thing you can ever imagine.
Speaker 5: So it's gonna go up even another night.
Speaker 6: I expect to see. I'm upset the over under at
three and a half fumbled snaps under center today, who
both practice. I'll take the under.
Speaker 3: You gotta take the under, I'll take I'll take the
take the action.
Speaker 6: When the pads get cracking and we're running, and you
do a little bit more running, do a little bit
more inside running plays, it tends to go up a
little bit, So I'm gonna put something.
Speaker 3: Over in at three and a half. We'll repour back tomorrow.
