Paul Tuxi, because that makes me really mad.
Speaker 7: That son of a gun was right? So wait he
saw it or didn't He did see his which made
it more winter and then it just is schurey this
week and I hadn't really.
Speaker 2: It makes it hard to dress.
Speaker 3: That's not so hard to dress.
Speaker 7: Because it's really hot in the afternoon, but then like
later in the afternoon's cool again. Oh sweating yesterday afternoon
and we had we had a little softball game yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's that did?
Speaker 7: Crushed it? Too many airs in the field though, But
we're getting there.
Speaker 5: We're figuring it out, like what nine.
Speaker 7: No, no, the yeah, yeah, we're still trying to figure
out like how to once you catch the ball, where's
it go? Most of the times it just goes to
the person next to them or to the picture. Doesn't
really go to the person somebody's running to. Hey it's
so white. The pitcher has to get the ball back.
So it's a lot of bad strategy. Yeah, I mean
that's what happens, like when most of the team decides,
like the Friday before the Saturday first game that they're
on the team.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're playing.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm doing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just gonna do it.
Speaker 6: So they decided Friday before and then they played Saturday.
Speaker 3: So does she know the rules before she went into
it or like.
Speaker 2: She just gets the batting like you hit it when
you run run to a base.
Speaker 6: But other than that, she was just kind of like
freestyling it.
Speaker 2: Let's let's think about it.
Speaker 4: She's going to show up on games. Guys going to practice.
I just signed and then went three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, called raking unbelievable.
Speaker 5: That's your new term.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's the stitchhead term.
Speaker 6: Though, like he's gone full stitch heead He's like she's breaking.
Speaker 7: Like I'm gonna be gonna be awful next football season
because I'm gonna be all so solely focused on on baseball.
Speaker 4: You can't you can't just make that I make that transition.
Speaker 2: I don't know, crazy thought. How about you do both?
Speaker 4: Right? Everybody else in this room can say people have
done it before.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well probably radio professionals.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I go that far, does that
make you?
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just here for the party, here for
the vibes.
Speaker 3: Wilson, I'm here for the.
Speaker 2: Banger has everybody like, I'll tell you what catchy. I'll
give you that.
Speaker 6: We were rock the country two years ago and big
with big and rich that's the bridal horse whatever. Yeah,
they brought Gretchen Wilson out and she's sang that song and.
Speaker 3: We were lit? Was I a few drinks and yes?
But was lit?
Speaker 4: There's a place for yes.
Speaker 2: Where do you draw the line between catchy and bangers? See?
I don't. I just that's that's my question.
Speaker 5: There, that's a good song catchy like oh my gosh,
like I don't think.
Speaker 3: Gotta get down. That's but it's a bad song.
Speaker 4: Okay, so maybe that's it. It's catchy.
Speaker 2: Catchy songs that are bangers.
Speaker 5: Didn't say there couldn't be there's catchy it's but.
Speaker 2: How do you draw that line?
Speaker 5: I mean, like anything in life, it's about choices and
decisions and you decide if it's both or one.
Speaker 7: Looking at I mean like I got a third eye
on my forehead or something. It was a fair It
was a fair question.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 6: I think the Gretchen Wilson song is a banger and
is catchy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean most songs that are bangers have to
be catchy.
Speaker 8: So like catchy, but not songs or bangers. You go
look at us, there we go.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 7: That's all I was asking. Just come up with something
super clever and we we got there eventually. Not to
get that look from you, Dad, Not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Speaker 2: Oh buddy.
Speaker 5: If I if I was most I showed my motion
every time I'm disappointed in you would be in good standing.
Speaker 4: Does this qualify as a quarter or a half?
Speaker 3: That's a half?
Speaker 2: I've never heard of that.
Speaker 8: I said it was a half because it's like the
bottom of the shirts here, definite, right, it's like a third.
Speaker 4: That's yes, a third zip these.
Speaker 2: Just like half goes down.
Speaker 7: Has anybody ever actually gotten the measuring tape out on
your quarter zips? There's not there's no such thing as
a half step.
Speaker 3: I have a half sip yesterday that l s.
Speaker 2: U old sailor, I wear it.
Speaker 7: That's a half step. That's not a term that people
use frequently, that which you shouldn't. That qualifies just to
say as a quarterszip. Just roll it, just rolls off.
Speaker 3: You don't have to get the contrarian this morning.
Speaker 4: This morning I thought I described it.
Speaker 9: Well, yesterday you didn't describe it, you said, but you
have to come up with a term when someone says,
what are you wearing?
Speaker 7: I have said in between, I'll just say quarters up.
That's quarters up? Who asks you what you're wearing? Who
are you wearing?
Speaker 3: Operators?
Speaker 2: Yeah? This past weekend, Hey what are you wearing?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Speaking Center snubbed it. I don't know. I haven't seen
the Leo movie, but I feel like it was I
need to watch that.
Speaker 2: Probably today we are rocking the mustache hard. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I liked it, but he like definitely dyed it.
Speaker 5: Yeah he's throw and his hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fine too.
Speaker 3: I'm saying there's anything wrong with it. So he died it.
Speaker 2: That's what got.
Speaker 5: A a lot of people in that room probably had
died here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gotta look younger.
Speaker 2: Situation happen significant for sure.
Speaker 8: He's got a little cloes that age you do significant others, right, Yeah,
they're all like twenty yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: I think was it? Is it? Twenty four? Is it?
Speaker 3: I think twenty four is the cut off?
Speaker 2: Twenty four?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's somewhere in there.
Speaker 5: We'll be real honest with you, Leo. That seems exhausted, right, ety.
Speaker 2: Four year old?
Speaker 8: My god, somewhere there jacket shedding into your no doubt.
Speaker 7: Maybe bump it up a little bit, twenty seven, twenty
eight to thirty, maybe thirty.
Speaker 3: Can we bump it to twenty eight, per friend.
Speaker 5: Leo's gotta be If we're about to be forty one,
he's got to be fifty fifty one.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you could bump into thirty. That's twenty
one years.
Speaker 6: The mustache makes him look a little younger, though, I
mean he still looks great.
Speaker 5: Some are saying Dragon had the mustache first. Of course
I had it, had it, but you were a little
too cowardly to keep it. No, I just didn't want
to embarrass you every day.
Speaker 2: It's okay. Katie didn't want it. Now she liked it.
There's the reason. What are you doing? Didn't want to
embarrass you every day? Okay? All right? I was looking
for some sort of real answer for me this morning.
Speaker 5: I mean, you've seen that thing. Can't be keeping QB.
Speaker 7: So are we doing a little turnover chain situation on
this bracket challenge?
Speaker 2: Within Yeah?
Speaker 3: The thought, Yeah, let's do an.
Speaker 4: We gotta set the rules.
Speaker 2: What what for a turnover chain?
Speaker 5: Y'all tell me if this is where y'all want to go,
we each pick one team that is a six through
sixteen seed, just one, okay, in whichever one of those
teams makes.
Speaker 6: It, makes it the closest to the final down the road.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a turnover chain six through sixteen. Okay, and
then can we let's do that? Only we can do
more than one.
Speaker 7: Okay, we could have a draft whoever finishes highest on
the Louisana Sports on Net.
Speaker 2: Yeah I too.
Speaker 7: I think that's probably the easiest. Thank you, But I
kind of like the underdog. Let's do that one part.
Let's do them do it all?
Speaker 2: Okay. I'll tell you through my system too.
Speaker 3: I used are they raking in baseball? They're making it?
Speaker 5: Is your system? AI generated MF generated rising. That's Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Guys. I know we've had some potty words.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 4: Have we.
Speaker 3: Looking at dev looking at.
Speaker 2: Look at you.
Speaker 5: I felt so I felt you on an elite level
in the meeting yesterday, but I also understood that what
you wanted to get done couldn't get done.
Speaker 2: But I felt where you were.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm like, bro, I know it's fine, but it
is true. CC is not gonna like come after us.
Speaker 7: I mean it's one thing like if, but if it's
a guest, technically you're supposed to.
Speaker 5: Be having a Yeah, but right, we don't. Anyways, we
need to barby quiet here. Yeah, scided Jay's coming on later.
I didn't know what the game day. Jay was going
to add him to the Wednesday lineup, and I was like, y'all,
like we already.
Speaker 3: Like we were stocked. We didn't want to overwhelm everybody.
Speaker 5: Coach Moulki got emotional, which is awesome. Yes, and then
we had Tyler shuk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just yesterday.
Speaker 3: Endearing was that interview though?
Speaker 6: Like for people that maybe the Tyler well both, but
the Tyler shuck one was just so endearing. And that's
what he's been doing this whole time is just like
endearing himself to people here. But and I already kind
of felt it with like the Marty Gras and the
banana ball and everything.
Speaker 3: But it was just so great yesterday.
Speaker 4: Arty's never even been to the Chipotle in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: I know it exists.
Speaker 5: He said, why would I go to Chipotle in New Orleans?
Speaker 3: Chipotle has his place, yeah, he said.
Speaker 8: He said, why is there? He said, why is there
a burrito named after Derek Carr? I'm not going there. Yeah,
it's the only place favorite place in the city.
Speaker 5: Chipotle is good, like if you know, if you if
you're craving that, but like now you're first stop, you know,
not the.
Speaker 8: Very when when you're asked your favorite restaurant in the city,
it's probably not the answer you should give.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 8: It when Derek car first side, somebody asked, what's your
favorite restaurant in the city has been so far like
one of your first stops, and dude said, Chipotle.
Speaker 2: An idiot, what are you doing?
Speaker 5: Read the room about credible restaurants? Like when somebody ask
you that, you say a restaurant is only in New
Orleans or maybe only in Louisiana at best.
Speaker 2: Even if it's not true. Yeah, just say it.
Speaker 7: You're kind of in the public eye, right at least
say it and there's.
Speaker 5: No wrong answers. If you say somewhere local, like there's
no to each their own. You can't say Chipotle my
private chief. It's my favorite deal. And that's why I
do that. He really yeah, he really thought, Hey, uh,
just letting y'all know, like I'm up for playing again.
Maybe like I'm just saying I might, and nobody called
nobody nope.
Speaker 4: But he could always go like, oh I wasn't serious.
It was just good.
Speaker 2: Uh, second day in a row.
Speaker 3: He was dead ass, dead ass.
Speaker 7: But I agree Laundre. He that interview was very endearing.
He's just like, seems like the most normal bro.
Speaker 3: He's such a bro, just like.
Speaker 7: And he just wants to kind of live his life
and throw football around. Yeah, and it's not really going
to change much.
Speaker 2: Drinking a couple of cold beers.
Speaker 7: He I was like, yeah, actually I don't really remember
throwing those things off the foot. I'm like yeah, Everyone's
like yeah, we get we know, yeah, we know. Like
that's how it's you're supposed to be.
Speaker 5: I don't think he liked when you told him who
his shoulder?
Speaker 2: He though, Yeah you.
Speaker 4: Didn't, he didn't. You didn't really get a laugh out
of that one.
Speaker 7: Mad like what we got we got to clear your
elbow through. He wasn't doing it on those beads. Yeah,
I mean, if he watched it. I was watching, he'd
say the same thing.
Speaker 5: Are you trying to say that you got a better
throwing motion than Tyler show?
Speaker 7: When it comes to be at that moment time, maybe
his elbows get a little tired.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you get tired, that's when you got to
focus the hardest.
Speaker 2: You gotta focus.
Speaker 6: Not only was he rocketing them, he was like throwing it, grabbing.
Speaker 7: Another one throw And he tried to play it off
and say it was like the little phone footballs.
Speaker 3: You were throwing beads.
Speaker 4: He didn't even open the pack. You can see you
can see the wrapping around it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, those are two to three pounds sacks of beads.
He definitely did say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like watching this film.
Speaker 4: You guys checked the tape shouldery.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we've we've been a lot of money girls.
We know the difference. Yeah, I agree, I was thinking
about that later in the day. He didn't like my
shoulder he comment he didn't.
Speaker 4: He was like, what's this guy's deal on your show?
Speaker 5: How to get your elbow through? You're hating on my
throwing motion.
Speaker 4: Matt was just mad. Video call in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8: By the way, we got a couple of comments on
YouTube about the We're like, I'm surprised they let him one.
Speaker 4: He was only a film call.
Speaker 5: Came down to the eleventh or if he was going
to be able to do it, he said, next time.
So next time he guarantees the FaceTime.
Speaker 2: So next week weekly ask him too much? I don't
know what.
Speaker 5: I don't know what you would ask him next week?
You know, we got to have some more events happen
before we can have him back on.
Speaker 8: I think deer in the season Fridays, he's probably not
busy for Friday. He's probably not busy Every Tuesday.
Speaker 5: Does your company want to sponsor Tyler Scheck every Tuesday?
It's open for business?
Speaker 2: I think he do it. You have a company I'm
talking to you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, but you would have to pay for it.
You'd have to pay him, yeah, for sure, and not
in product.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I can't do that, Tyler.
Speaker 5: I'll give you one box of my high and two hats.
Speaker 2: For the whole year, but your curse again taking one
of those boxes away.
Speaker 5: Now you only gave him one. Said take some of
the packets out of it. All right, let's take a break.

you've just never really done it. Well, now is a

keep that immune system like rocking and rolling over there

Speaker 5: LSU football makes a big higher. They had t Martin
as an analyst to the staff. It's a good get
for Lane Kiffin. He has experience with Tim Martin and
te Martin has a lot of experience. He's been in
coaching since two thousand and six. Of course, he is
somebody that won a national championship as a quarterback at Tennessee,
played in the NFL, had a seven year stint at USC.
As Taylor puts here in the dock, he went from
receiver coach to offensive coordinator. So it's always good in
my opinion, to have guys on your staff that are
analysts that have had coordinating experience when you're throwing ideas
out there, when you're asking questions. And again, this is
somebody that's done it for a long time. He's coaching
in the NFL twenty twenty one to twenty twenty five
with Baltimore Ravens, So he's got experience with an MVP quarterback.
I like all of that, and now you can add
analysts to your staff. You're able to add somebody like
this who he was available. You've already filled all your
coordinating jobs up. But with the way the rules are,
he can be an analyst and he can be involved
in every single meeting. He can be involved with helping
you game plan, he can be involved in game day situations.
So the big ad I think when we're sitting here
talking about in the middle to late March, that you
can get somebody like this on your staff before.
Speaker 2: Have they been together starts Tennessee? Yeah, uh yeah, it's yeah.
Speaker 7: It's a coach with a really good resume joining the
staff in some capacity.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm hesitant to say like the USC
together to right. Sorry, Yes, okay, good.
Speaker 7: I'm hesitan to say like it's a big time higher anything,
because but I mean, we don't know what an analysts
every role is.
Speaker 2: They can you can have so many, like what's the role?
Speaker 5: Whatever you make it, make it that.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying specific role.
Speaker 5: That's that's if you've been if you've been with somebody
for that long and they've coached for that long, they've
been to o ce a place like USC and they've
been in the NFL.
Speaker 2: With the MVP quarterback, I don't think you bring him.
Speaker 7: In or you could be or you could be bringing
him in because he's an old buddy of yours and
just don't want to.
Speaker 5: Be unemployed for him, and that would be fine too,
But that's fine. Happens a lot, and it's right. Yeah,
but the resume also speaks for itself, like he's he's
gonna have some responsibilities.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just like it's great. There's no way that I
don't know what those responsibilities are. But well so we'll see.
I mean, it could be it could be drawing, it
could be drawing cards, drawing cards. He could be I
don't think he's drawing cards.
Speaker 6: I did afr at Marucci yesterday with Matt and he
was talking about how Brian Kelly had sixty one people.
Speaker 3: I think he said on the staff. I mean we're
up to seventy six on the Lane Kiffin staff.
Speaker 5: Hee pull up the Billy Napier of Blue Polo photo.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying, there's only so many things to do
as a coach, only so many things. Yeah, so the
more people you add, the less things that they could
potentially be doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But also when you add a resume, it's gonna be
more important things in my opinion, maybe.
Speaker 2: Cards, maybe, But like if he's a seventy six guy hired.
Speaker 7: Just now, I'm.
Speaker 3: Asking the same question you are. The resume is great,
but like, what are we doing with you?
Speaker 7: Cant hired Bill Belichick as like your one hundred and
twelve coach, what's he gonna do?
Speaker 8: I mean a guy like Tim Martin, though he's a
big enough name to where he can help you recruit
a little bit. Analysts can do a lot more now
than they used to. And like Jake Mintioned, he was
a USC he was the wide receiver coach with Juju
Smith Houster.
Speaker 4: I'm on around Saint.
Speaker 8: Brown, Michael Pittman, like those are all big time NFL
receivers right now. And then he coached quarterbacks. He helped
Lamar Jackson. He was there when Lamar won both of
those MVPs. Tim Martin can do a lot of different things,
which is what makes him so good. Like he's not
a guy that's like, oh he's gonna specialize in running
backs or he's gonna specialize in safeties. Tem Martin's bounced around,
he said, success in multiple spots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a fantastic Yeah, that was a
question on.
Speaker 3: So many I don't think anybody's like negating his resume.
It's a great resume.
Speaker 6: But like, I agree, what are we what is the
seven twenty six person on the staff gonna?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: Is that the missing piece the seventy six person.
Speaker 5: I hear what you are saying, but he's not seventy six.
He's gonna have responsibilities that are way higher than that.
So like the guy who's seventy fifth, Yeah, we can
have that conversation, m hm, but this is somebody like
you don't hire him to just be there and sitting
there like his resume that he just I mean, the
guy's been around coaching Lamar Jackson two MVP titles. He's
gonna have some knowledge, he's gonna have something. Maybe it's
something they did in Baltimore that they want to implement
to this LU offense, and like, well, you don't really know.
Hey he's available, let's go hire him.
Speaker 7: Hey, that's the That's one of the things that a
good boss is supposed to do, right, tell Maurice, A
good boss is all you're supposed to be fill yourself with,
surround yourself to where you're always the dumbest person in
the room.
Speaker 5: That's what a good boss is supposed to the business thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're the dumbest person in the room.
Speaker 7: You're supposed to hire people that elevate what you can do. Right.
Speaker 5: He didn't confirm, nor to know you.
Speaker 2: I just don't hire people. That also came into my mind.
Can't find anyone smarter.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 7: I grew up like that was like my prime football
loving days was Tim Martin win a national championship.
Speaker 5: So I mean props, I'm just was it ninety eight?
It was ninety eighth. We were thirteen, and we were
always told Peate Manning, Peyton Manning because it's pet Manning
on my pedestal, you know, to Tim Martin was probably
up there and then t wouldn't want it after Tommy Frasier.
Oh hell rock Berlin in high school. Those are those
are the dudes obviously, akman kind. I love Troy. We
gotta have a conversation he had. He had a good
quote about training camp that will come to later.
Speaker 2: In the show. Iron Shure Iron, we'll talk about. We'll dabble.
So good job L s U. T.
Speaker 5: Barn and hire Okay, certainly not a bad thing.
Speaker 4: That receiver coach UFC.
Speaker 8: You can hire a guy that's been in the NFL,
it's been an offensive coordinator as an analyst, like that's
a plus.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm basically AI YEA or j g P T
here me out.
Speaker 7: I just want to say, g BT want Alane Given's
old buddies and coaches, who has got a lot of
respect for didn't want to sit out of here while
he's looking for a job next year.
Speaker 5: You woke up choosing to be that guy, choose a violence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just told you T Martin on a pencil
when I was in middle school. I'm excited. I'm excited
to meet him.
Speaker 5: Well, he's probably not excited to meet us now.
Speaker 2: Why. Yeah, it is awesome. H Springs Tuesday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the twenty fourth, we'll be on the air.
Speaker 2: But it's so exciting. Oh. I think their morning.
Speaker 6: Practice said ask if we can do our show from
the facility, they would.
Speaker 7: That's not a good sign for the year, the season.
We talked about that the morning practice. Morning practices are
not a good sign if you want to win.
Speaker 5: It's crazy how many teams have gone in the morning.
It was good for me in the afternoons when I
was on college because like all those coaches could come on.
Speaker 2: I need to be hot out there. Though that's kind
of soft.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, we'll take a break more OTV when
we come back here live from the Raisin King studio.
Speaker 2: Off the bench, all right.

Speaker 1: You got.

Speaker 5: You can't.
Speaker 1: Watch Tigers turn talkers? This is off the bench, watch.
Speaker 3: Watch watch watching.
Speaker 5: You walk back in o TV? What's today's theme? What's
Thursday's theme? For music?
Speaker 6: So I didn't have one and there's not a Thursday one,
and so like I panicked because I didn't have one
ready on the last segment, so I just clicked something
that was on my like homepage or whatever. Then I
was like, nah, we need we haven't had a Daryl
Hall and John Oates day in a while, no matter,
and they're incredible, So I felt like we had to
we had to do Daryl Hall and John Oates light it.
Speaker 5: That's good to me, all right, He tay, I'm gonna
have to throw this one to you. You've been asking
about this for days. Ahmad Hudson, yep, visits LSU let
her rip so.
Speaker 8: His dad, Antonio Hudson, is a former LSU basketball player.
Amad is the number one tight end in the class
of twenty twenty seven, very similar to a trade Eds Green.
I mean, he's six with six two hundred and forty
pounds heading into his senior year of high school. Again,
number one tight end in the nation, number two player
in the state of Louisiana. He visited over the weekend,
and Spiegelman put out that La Shoe and Nebraska seemed
to be the top two teams. Look, he's from the state.
He's an LSU legacy with his dad playing on the
basketball team. He was here over the weekend. And if
you're a tight end, how could you not want to
play in this Lane Kiffin offense? Because all we've talked
about is how excited. We already see what he does
with trades Green. I mean remember DAYK one right last
year he was all over the field as the old
miss tight end. I think this is trending really really
well for LSU. I mean, another big time weapon for
Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 2: What she doing over there, Bud then jacket O.
Speaker 5: I'm excited to see what they're going to be doing
with Tradez in this offense because he's been a player that,
to his credit, he still made plays.
Speaker 2: He's kind of been.
Speaker 5: Moved around a little bit and not really ever given
a defined role. I think this is going to be
the best year that we'll see him in an LSU uniform,
understanding his skill set, knowing what he can wait and
what he can't do as well. So this would be
a great, to your point, a audition for all these
tight ends that are going to be coming down the pipeline.
And this is a player that, uh, you've heard about
him for you know a lot of a lot of time,
because you know, Kay's got a lot of family in Rusting.
And you talk to some people around Rusting their program
and took to our guy Kyle Williams, and he's.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, he talks about this guy.
Speaker 5: So it's exciting that Lshu's got a what seems like
a lead four huts and so six and thirty nine pounds.
Number one tight end in the nation, Matthew, he played
with some pretty good tight ends.
Speaker 7: Like, let me say something before you asked that trade
is going to light the country on fire next fall.
Like that's it's barring anything physically bad, like stay healthy.
The kids going to dominate college football next year, simple
as that. Where it gets like getting him to stay
getting because every year, with the good players, you got
to fight to keep them here. Right, everybody's playing on
a one year contract basically, so like to keep him here.
And we were excited about all the people coming in.
I was more excited about the people that were staying. Yeah,
and it starts with that guy because he's absolutely going
to torch college football next season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that whole heartedly. And you got
to know where to put him.
Speaker 5: You got to know how to utilize his skill set.
And again trust that don't put him in bad spots either, Like, dude,
he's not going to be an inline blocker.
Speaker 2: Is he willing to do it? Sure?
Speaker 5: But I'm going to move that guy around. He's going
to motion and cut off backside. I'm going to motion him,
put him in a position ravantage just looks for him
for his skill set. Look, that's that's what I did
in the NFL. Like I was never going to, you know,
block Torrell Suggs straight up, but I had to block him.
Speaker 2: So what do you do? Will you move me around?
Orbit motion?
Speaker 5: We motion from out wide, try to create an angle
so I can be a little bit at an advantage
when the ball snapped. That's what That's what you can
do with that guy. And he's willing to do it.
But you know you've been around side ends. If you
got one of those guys, it's a slot guy and
not willing to do it, there's no purpose in it.
Speaker 2: But he is willing to block.
Speaker 5: And now it's on you to find the best case
scenario to use his skill set.
Speaker 7: And you don't want to be doing it too much.
So he's got to do it for tendencies. He's he's
a he's a big receiver. That's what he's going to be.
Who can go and be willing to block, and you
can disguise him in that blocking roll some Nicky makes
a great point here in the chat. He was a
failure in the sideways passing game this last year. When
they threw it to him down the field, it.
Speaker 4: Was really good.
Speaker 2: So good, at least be excited.
Speaker 7: I gotta trust that with seventy six coaches, we're going
to figure it out.
Speaker 2: He's gonna crush.
Speaker 5: By the way, I think all am a cushion offense, So.
Speaker 2: Just good.
Speaker 5: Guess I don't know, Blake, I mean you got over there?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: I think here's an assistant tight end coach.
Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely, probably a couple.
Speaker 5: There better be somebody coaching fullbacks.
Speaker 7: There's only so many positions on offense, and if you
got the thirty eight on each side, there's at least
a couple of.
Speaker 5: Tight fullbacks, even if it's no, but they need to coach.
Speaker 2: Probably two of them. We don't even have the position.
We'll tell you a couple of which you got.
Speaker 8: Golding has a head coach of defense and a head
coach of offense.
Speaker 4: Coordinators.
Speaker 2: Do they have coordinators too?
Speaker 8: No, like just the head coach of He is a
head coach. Pete gold just called a head coach of
offense and defense, kind of like the star position. So Nickel,
do you coordinate as well. Nope, just a head coach,
but well by Golding, that's dumb. That's why al Mioss
continues to be the Canada for LSU.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll take a break more OTB when we
come back here live from the Raisin King studio.
