Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. Once to the game,
first game we've been to you stay the whole time? No,
did not had children? Wow, I had children falling asleep
in the second quarter. So you know we didn't make.
Speaker 2: It okay, fair enough, fair enough? And you know what,
did you enjoy it? And you had a park?
Speaker 4: This is my job now, so I got to like
break down the game like where I was sitting. I
can't break down anything. All I can do is see
the result of the play.
Speaker 6: Did you feel like you were watching it? Different now
that you know that it is your job and you
have to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Actually, I started the game like the first drive.
Speaker 4: I had my phone out in the note app and
I actually took two notes down.
Speaker 2: Can you please share. I have no idea what they are.
Can you please check it out here? What they were?
This is just just going back to it.
Speaker 5: It was like no flyover this time. Yeah, national anthem different.
Speaker 4: Oh how about this? Okay, first note, crowd needs a
chill out man. Twelve minutes left in the first quarter,
they've already booed the offense twice.
Speaker 2: That was my first note. I was like, they relaxed, guys.
Speaker 4: It's like I got like twelve minutes or three minutes
into the scene, now, like, okay, sure, as the game went, sure.
Speaker 2: I should be Yeah, you should be used to us punning.
On the first drive.
Speaker 4: Three minutes into the game, we'd already have the ball
twice and got bood twice.
Speaker 2: So yeah, first line, crowd needs a chill out man, man. Yeah.
Speaker 4: My second and final note of the game, because after
that point I had to start getting the dipping dots
and the popcorn and taking kids of the bathroom, doing
that whole situation. South Carolina, first third down of the day,
perfect call. They were in a screen to the right
when LSU blitzed the corner from the left. Perfect call.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Never went back and watched that one. It was a
good note, chill out man. All right, after that, my
job kind of went out the window. Yeah, the husband, husband, father.
We were sitting right underneath the band, so real close
to the student section. So really good learning experience for
the children. Yeah, wow, Yeah, a lot of good people watching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, real interesting. I've never been that close to the
students section. How much did you have to explain to
your children? I just told him that just keep my
eyes on the field, bud Yep, all right, Landra, how's
the weekend? Yeah, weekend was great, always good when we
get a win.
Speaker 5: Saints didn't win yesterday, but it's fine. I had a
little bit of hope at the end.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure.
Speaker 5: I texted the Ellison group chat and he was like,
it might be because I'm on my third beer, but
I feel like we might pull this off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fine.
Speaker 6: It kept hanging around, hanging around, hanging out of the Patriots.
Never really separated now because the Saints didn't allow him to.
But it's like, right, it's right there.
Speaker 5: The weather wasn't terribly hot on Saturday during the game,
so that's that's good. To The breeze that night was
actually kind of putting me to sleep. Also, it wasn't
like so much that the game. I mean, the game
was the game, but the breeze was putting me to sleep.
Speaker 2: Victory, the victory.
Speaker 5: It's always great to get a win, but admittedly it
was a boring win, like, but we got to win.
Speaker 2: So mm hmm hmm. I was like the Florida game,
just different jerseys.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think I gave Hunt twenty one to ten
my score predictions.
Speaker 4: So I was one.
Speaker 2: I was twenty four fourteen, Yeah, I was one. Were
we kind of new?
Speaker 4: Yeah that was I mean, I think Flynn's was pretty
close too. Yeah I was or seventeen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we were all around the same thing. But yeah, great.
Other than that, pretty good weekend. I texted you all
yesterday that I felt like the commentators are like glazing
Drake may so so much.
Speaker 2: Yesterday it was commentators for that Saints game.
Speaker 5: You said something else about, oh that he was cheerleading
or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was what you're not supposed to do. It
was bad, bad. Well, honestly, he's pretty good, No, not
even just him, just.
Speaker 5: He's playing pretty good.
Speaker 2: But it was so for once was doing well.
Speaker 5: I'm not disputing that, but I was like, calm down
a little like carrying drooling on the desk.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and for once, the Saints got like some really
bad calls to go in there in their favor, Like,
oh my god, what were those calls?
Speaker 2: The first? First one?
Speaker 7: Now the second one from a lot of scrimmage, dog,
I know the second one.
Speaker 6: On the second one, Stefan Diggs didn't really complain too much,
and he did put his arm out and stop him.
I'm like, he feels like he did more than I
saw or write either way though, I'll take this, yeah,
I'll take it.
Speaker 2: Like the second one fine, like if you want to
do it and you can complain.
Speaker 4: But the first one, yeah, I don't think I'm ever
seen that an offensive pass interference call within five yards
the line of scrimmers. That wasn't like a pick play. Yeah, shocking.
Good for us though, but not great for us.
Speaker 2: I know. I like it help you get all the
opportunities you could.
Speaker 6: I'm excited to break that one down a little bit
later on uh Tite, Your Buccaneers won again.
Speaker 2: They did looked great again, he did.
Speaker 6: You got a little smile on your face, Cowboys loss,
I think that makes you happy.
Speaker 2: Now the Panthers, I know, Memphis was so far up VP.
That's what they keep saying on TV. The Panthers sneaky
good this year.
Speaker 7: They were kind of three years second in the NFC South.
Speaker 4: They are the Saints are the only team the NFC
South of the losing record right now.
Speaker 2: Probably changed tonight. Yeah, but exavierly get how's he doing?
Oh we gotta check those stats out.
Speaker 4: I'm sure he popped off about one hundred and eighty
and ninety Yes, prediction.
Speaker 2: No one played well as far as the weekend goes.
First game.
Speaker 7: I was able to make it out too in person
on Saturday. I had a great time. Uh you were
in the crowd.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh yeah in the crowd.
Speaker 7: I won the station survey or the station question the
Vickison out on Thursday?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that'd be email. I don't check this well,
I just happened to have it opening for you. I
got it. Yeah.
Speaker 7: So we we had a great time there. Yeah, good weekend.
All the teams wound up winning.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: How does Baker Mayfield just become more likable every week?
Speaker 2: Did you see his quote? Like from last week?
Speaker 6: He's like, you know, when I was younger and I
was being myself, like I was immature in cocky and
now I'm the same person and I've got that dog
game me and I'm cocky and I'm not cocky.
Speaker 2: I just got the moxie. It's like, how's that happen?
Speaker 7: On the broadcast, they were like it went from arrogance
to moxie. I'm like, like, he's always been cool, just
for whatever reason. There was a narrative in college and
they're like, he's the Johnny Manziel and I'm like, no.
Speaker 1: He's not.
Speaker 7: He's just he's kind of a He's a he's a
shorter white quarterback that runs around. He's not Johnny Manziel.
Like they're nothing alike. He's always he's always been this guy.
Speaker 2: Yep. It was probably the hold up that did it
in college.
Speaker 7: Yes, and you know, if it doesn't get caught on camera,
nobody cares. Stuff like that said every single play, Oh,
I loved it, right, And if you go back and
watch that game, Kansas refused to shake his hand. They
had a late hit on him twice. Then he did that,
but he was called on camp.
Speaker 2: Hold you up, all right, Richard? But what did I say?
Who's Richard? I was like time boyd Richard what's happening?
Speaker 4: Le Xavier get average five and a half yards per
reception this past weekend two receptions.
Speaker 2: Two receptions, ten yards, eleven yards. But ah, okay, big deal,
So we're coming. We're coming.
Speaker 6: Great ball per day, they scored thirty points and he
had two for eleven. All right, I look, when we
come back, we'll get it started. We'll start to break
down LSU South Carolina. Of course, we've got to get
to these saints in the Patriots there still. I mean,
it's oh, we got we got some film to break

Speaker 6: All right, it was LSU twenty South Carolina ten, and
here's how we got there. First downs pretty even twenty
two for LSU, twenty four South Carolina. Third down efficiency
six of sixteen for South Carolina, four of eleven four
LSU in South Carolina was zero for two on fourth
down total yards three seventeen four South Carolina, four to
twenty two for LSU through the air, one hundred and
twenty four yards for South Carolin Lina two fifty four
for LSU. Yards per pass four point six for South Carolina,
seven point seven for LSU. Lenora Sellers had one interception.
Garrett Nesmeyer had two. Rushing one hundred ninety three yards
for South Carolina, one hundred and sixty eight for LSU.
Yards per rush four point three for South Carolina, six
yards for LSU. Penalties thirteen for South Carolina, five for LSU.
Turnovers you had three, which is certainly gonna be something
we talked about here. South Carolina had two, including their
first offensive play time and possession thirty one forty five
for South Carolina, twenty eight to fifteen for LSU, and
again you get the victory twenty to ten. Initial thoughts
on this game. LSU another victory there, but still leaves
a lot there to be desired.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of this weird, like weird world that
we live in as LSU fans because you expect then,
the expectations before the season, the expectations we all have
going into every game are so high, like you want
them to just dominate on both sides of the ball,
especially you know in the last handful of years where
we have been predominantly dominating on the offensive side of
the ball, but we've had years where defensively we've struggled.
Speaker 2: Now we got this dominant bear of a defense.
Speaker 4: And our expectations, I feel like, are so high that
sometimes even when we get a victory, we still feel
a little bit flat as fans. We feel a little
bit disappointed, like what could have? What should a you know,
what are we doing here and there? But when you
take when you when you kind of step back and
look at it, you gotta just see we got a
dominant defense and that defense. Of course, like when you
watch defensive football, it's not like the most exciting thing
to watch for for all fans because you want to
see high flying, high score and big.
Speaker 2: Plays here, those sexy plays there.
Speaker 4: But when you have defense, it's a different type of sexist, right,
it's a different types of beauty in that in that
type of game, and we have a defense that is
absolutely incredible. They fly around, they make plays, they are
exciting to watch, and they gave South Carolina fits. Leonora's
sellers looked very pedestrian. I mean he's like look kind
of what we said in like watching the film and
leading up and we talked about he's strong boy like
that as strong as an ox.
Speaker 2: That's it. I mean, that's his strong.
Speaker 4: He could literally carry all eleven players on his back,
and if he had, poor Jack Piebrin probably had five
sacks that he just could not get Lenora selling. Yeah,
Like that's the thing with that with with Leonori's like,
if you to get him down on a sack, you
gotta either he's got to be tripping and you get him,
or you gotta grab onto anything you can bite, scratch, claw,
pull him, wait for the cavalry to arrive type situation,
because you're not going to get him one on one.
Speaker 2: It's just not going to happen.
Speaker 4: So like to be able to do that and believe that,
I believe they held him to like eighteen yards rushing
or something like that.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, he was sacked I believe five times, So yeah,
the stats end up being twenty something carries for like
eighteen yards. But yeah, he was put on the ground
five times, which in college I still hate that it's
taken away from your rushing total, but it is. And
one of the things that was evident to me, even
like live without going back and watching the game was
there wasn't anywhere for him to throw the football. No,
like the job that Corey Raymond and Jake Olsen have
done with this dB room. I'm talking to Marcus Cooley,
Delaye Pickett, Hawsey, PJ. Woodland had a nice breakup where
he was beat initially and he had nice recovery, didn't
panic and as a PBu that to me compared to
where that has been for a couple of years, no doubt, as.
Speaker 2: There many they are. It's an elite secondary it is
for sure, damn good.
Speaker 6: It's or I mean, aj Halsey might end up working
himself into a fresh round pick Like I have literally
had people that make decisions in the NFL text me
and say, hey, are my eyes telling me the story?
Speaker 2: Because I think this guy might be your first round.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: I think he's pretty good.
Speaker 6: Like right, I've had three people like he's he's getting
that kind of attention. They are really really good man.
And for Lenora's sellers, I don't really know where to
tell you to throw the football. Although delayed is not
somebody I would pick on on fourth down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe not go to his direction. That's not the
guy I would try to attack in that situation.
Speaker 4: But it's funny though, like you, we we kind of
say that in college football, and quarterbacks don't always think that.
They don't always go to matchups. It's like, what's the read?
What's my read? Okay, they're they're overload the left side
on one on one back, so we're going to go
to that. Everything's happening so quickly, especially trying to like
decipher what an LSU defensive front and linebacker crew is
like cooking up for you as far as pressure packages.
So they're not always like cerebral and quick enough on
the trigger mentally to say, all right, well that's one
I want to monsoor let's not let's not test him today.
But and Leonoris, he's just not as pure of a
passer as you need to be to overcome like a
talent deficit between your receivers and LSU's DB's like there
was a clear talent difference there. Lshu is extraordinarily talented
on the back end in the secondary, and when you're
talented out wide and you can one on one coverage people,
you can put more people in the box and it
becomes like this safety game where these safeties can play
games with you. They can fly around. If they don't
have to worry about like going over the top and
helping my boy out here on the sideline, they can
roam around. And we talked about just this game was
the same kind of game plan as we had for
Clemson as we're going to have this week. Is if
we can lock down the outside, it becomes a safety game.
Safeties play well. Offense that they're going against is going
to have a really, really hard time. So they played great. Man,
it was really fun to watch them, But of course
all that was fans feeling a little bit flat after
this one, right, if I'm reading the temperature correctly.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the chat, I mean for sure, and just around
town because like you said, I mean, well, I mean,
first off, we all know, I mean offensive side of
the football, superior side of the football. We all know that, right,
But when when you're dominant on defense in your offense,
you're like you're waiting for more to happen. That's typically
the feeling that you have. But look, the defense the
good the good part about it. The defense is going
to keep you in every single game that you've got
left on your schedule. They're going to leave you in
there long enough for you to have a chance. Even
going back to the loss you had against Ole mess
right end up being a five point loss. They gave
you the ball back a couple of times through turnovers
to say, hey, go make the play. You just didn't
make the play. So like that's the good part. The
bad part about it is I don't know that you
can go make the play right now. Like this this
game flow is so we're matt because like you're moving
the football, you outgain South Carolina and you can be like,
well if they didn't turn it over, well, if they
didn't turn it over, and just keep saying that. I'm like, yeah,
but that's what teams that are struggling do, Like that's
why they struggle.
Speaker 2: And part of it.
Speaker 6: Moving the football is great, but if you don't finish
in the end zone. What does it mean you were
on the one yard line twice two different occasions and
didn't score touchdowns, like with downs to go, not a
fourth down situation like that can't happen.
Speaker 4: Teams that are struggling on offense can't get out of
their own way. And that's what's frustrating for the LSU
fan base right now, is because we see the dominance
and the excitement on the other side of the ball,
right and we haven't had that in years.
Speaker 2: And it's awesome, I know.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's something they got the ball, Like on
the thirty seven, they're like, you're thirty seven.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, they're good. Yeah, and they stopped them,
and it's just like, you're right.
Speaker 4: We are going to be in every single game with
an opportunity to win, and everything is still out in
front of this team.
Speaker 2: You want.
Speaker 4: Championships are still out in front of the scene because
you have this defense. But you got to get out
of your own way on offense. Yeah, we can point
and I got and I broke the whole film down yesterday.
There's tons of film we can watch. I don't know
what we can actually do on radio today, but like
you did a lot of good the Running game. Huge improvement.
Now early in the game you struggled a little bit here.
There's still so much to tweak and fix on that
running game. But man, huge improvement, and you actually is great.
Speaker 6: You did stay committed because on the broadcast I kept
saying they're close, they are close. I'm telling you, they're
close to breaking one. They're close to breaking one that
has Jwan Johnson breaks the fifty something yarder. Cayden Durham
I called him and I was like, hey, on these
short yards situations, man, you're not looking for fourteen yards.
Speaker 2: You're looking for like fourteen inches. Ye, right, And at
the beginning of the game he I wasn't really doing that,
and then he figured it out. It's like that's what
I'm going to do.
Speaker 4: So and look, and we're close to even popping off
more yards. I mean, there's fifty seventy eighty more yards
to gain. Facts are you know a little bit more
different philosophies were firing off the ball a little bit more.
Back's gotta practice that. They got to work that. They
missed a couple of cuts, missed a couple of reads.
Offensive line missed a couple of calls, missed, a couple
of blocks, assignments here and there, and look, that's okay.
That happens every game, Like you could turn on every game.
You could turn on uh team that goes undefeated, and
every single game, every single drive, there's gonna be missed
assignments and plays left on the field. So that's it's fine,
But there is things to work on theirs. There's positive
right there because of those changes we we we said
in the bye week, what are you going to fix?
Speaker 2: What are you going to change? The things you need
to do? Well, they you could tell that they were
really cognizant of it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think in the first quarter they put a fullback
out there. Sure it didn't work, but that's probably the
first time or second time that they've done that in
a live situation. The play was there, the running back
made the wrong read on it, right, and that's okay.
He hasn't done it a whole lot, right, right, keep
doing it. Don't don't make that one bad read by
like the by the going and back change that philosophy.
Speaker 2: You did it, you put it in.
Speaker 4: You made some changes that you need to which I
find is positive. But in the passing game. You got
to get out of your own way. It is inexcusable
to turn the ball over twice in the red zone.
And I know one was a run play, one was
a pass play, but it is inexcusable for an offense
to keep a team in it that way. Yep, the
score was twenty to ten. Everybody kind of feels bad
about the win. We're happy for it, we're happy for
the wind. Don't get us wrong, but everybody kind of
feels a little bit deflated. You don't turn that ball
over and you score. It's a thirty four to ten.
We're not even really having a conversation. We're gonna have
to look and like explain to y'all why there's improvement
still to be made. Is a thirty four to ten
ball game?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's inexcusable. There's no excuse for it. You have
to clean it up or you will lose some more games,
say multiple, Yeah, yeah, you gonna You're gonna lose more
games if you don't clean those things up. Garrett Asmaier
and RPO throws a pick inexplainable.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 4: I don't even know why that's an option to throw
that route. He throws a three step slant to a
slot receiver on a running play like an RPO, Like,
I don't know what his read is because it shouldn't
even be a read. That shouldn't even be an option
for him to throw it. And then don't throw it. Yeah,
just don't throw it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, fumble on though, I mean you're yeah, it
was if I'm remembering right, you have what single high
safety just like sitting there, like.
Speaker 2: What are you safety? It's a safety on the remember
of safety being right there on the side of it.
Like I said, I don't even know what that read is,
Like what's the read?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not clearly not that right, and he throws
it kind of fading away. Then earlier in the game,
you fumble on the one yard line. He like I
had he was going to write at me, and he
tries to like reach it over and you don't reach
on the goal line unless like you better be right
one of those situations.
Speaker 2: If you're going to reach on the goal line, you
better be oh yeah, trust me. And he wasn't right.
My coaches will tell you that play, well, don't every time.
Speaker 4: Every level you see people reach for the goal line
all the time, right, reach the pilot, reach with the
goal on.
Speaker 2: You're actually taught not to do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if the coaches says if you do it,
better be right, you better be right because if you don't,
if you're not right now, fumble and.
Speaker 2: That was second down too, Like, that's that's going to
be for me.
Speaker 6: You take a look at Juwan Johnson fumble second and
goal from the one, right, that should have been a touchdown.
Speaker 2: That should certainly be points.
Speaker 6: Martos an interception second and eight at the South Carolina nine,
the one you just talked about. All right, that's points
guaranteed points because like your kicker from forty in is
really good, right, he's been basically automatic. Then at the
end of the game, first and goal to South Carolina one.
Here's your sequence, first and goal from the one. And
you know, this is the one thing that makes me
more angry than anything is when you can't punch it
in short yardage. You had a zero yard run, then
you had a negative two yard run which you fumbled.
Then you come back and you have a negative two
yard run from the three yard line and I'm not sure,
so you ran the jumbo package out there after Nussmeyer
tried to sneak it and lost two yards and fumbled it.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that.
Speaker 6: I think they went to personnel and then they realized
because it was kind of confusing, the referees didn't really
announce it right.
Speaker 2: Then you see the.
Speaker 6: Jumbo package back out there from the three, and I
think you still thought the ball was on the one,
but your sequence was no yard run, negative two yard run,
negative two yard run. Like those are things that you
can't do with who you have coming up on your
schedule if you want to win, because there's place to
be made, is my entire point of bringing it up.
Like fumble, interception, fumble, you jumped on it, you settle
for a field goal, So at minimum, at minimum it
needs to be six more points. But in reality, I
would say, when you're on the one yard line twice,
that's fourteen points, and then even if you get stopped
on the other one, that's three points added to it,
seventeen points, which certainly in any other SEC game might
get you beat, probably will get you beat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at South Carolina wasn't no, let's call it it is.
South Cala went very very good, right, it should have
been a little bit more to a little bit less.
Speaker 2: Hey defense look good, all.
Speaker 6: Right, h We'll take a break, but don't worry, we'll
come back. We'll continue talking about LSU and South Carolina.

That is palagroup dot com, Pala Group building Louisiana's future,

Speaker 2: All Right, continuing to break down LSU and South Carolina.
Speaker 6: Here a couple of the individual statistics from this game,
because we kind of gave you an overview of what
the team stats looked like. For Garrett Nusmeyer twenty of
thirty three, two fifty four, two touchdowns, two interceptions, seven
point seven yards per attempt. Kiten Durham on the ground
is your leading rusher. Fifteen carries for seventy yards four
point seven. Juwan Johnson five for sixty six thirteen point two.
Neuss Meyer actually did add a couple of nice runs
with his legs there, stepped up in the pocket a
couple of different times. Four carries for thirty yards and
a career long of twenty one yards there for Nessmeyer.
Harlan Berry four carries for two yards for the young freshman.
So you did run the football better twenty eight times
one hundred and sixty eight yards. You had six yards
per carry.
Speaker 2: It was better.
Speaker 6: It's got to continue to develop, it's got to continue
to go up. But at least you were committed to
the run. You know, twenty eight total team runs, thirty
three passes, so you're right there, probably you know, forty
five percent on the ground.
Speaker 2: So it was a better effort and a lot of
improvement on the running game too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's like it was the whole conversation during the Bible,
what are we going to do as an offensive unit
as a coaching staff, Like how are you going to
look at it? Or are you going to look at it?
It's like, we're close to there. We got to change
some stuff. Well, they changed some stuff, right philosophically. They
ran some more stuff now, a little bit more rpo
than than these eyes I would like to see still, but.
Speaker 2: A lot less, a lot more call a run run
a run situation. Yeah, they did play a little.
Speaker 4: They went underneath the center a few times for some
running plays, got a full back in a couple of times. Granted,
albeit didn't work as well as we wanted it to.
But it's a good step in the right direction. I
think if you give those running backs a couple more
opportunities to read, I mean, how many times do they
read a full back in their career, you know what
I mean. And holy power alert, I think we got
a power. I think we had at least one we had, Okay,
so Dura we saw on tape. I counted on tape
five pulling guards. Yes, on tape we did have some counters,
but I think four of those were counters because it
was a pulling guard with a tight end and most
of the time like on the counter. So if you're
running a counter left, the guard and the tackle from
the right will pull around to the left. The tackle
will shoot down, leaving the defensive end. So basically the
guard kicks out the the defensive end on the left,
the tight end leads the way. So I saw that
a lot the early in the game.
Speaker 6: I think on my charge you had five counters and
one that I'm going to consider a power.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I had five pulling guards, which pretty much
countered the first one. With just over thirteen minutes left
in the first quarter, we get into a wildcat formation.
Speaker 2: Awesome to see. Hell of a job and it worked
and it worked. So basically, basically, you run a power
with the running back.
Speaker 4: I guess who's lined up as running back leads the
way like the tight end, So it basically looks like
a counter, but you call it a wildcat QB power.
Speaker 2: If you want to.
Speaker 4: Just for the sake of us getting the power in
this year, we'll just call it that. But look, it worked,
and that was probably one of your more efficient plays.
There was some zone plays where we where we fired
off the ball. We ran we called a zone. We
ran his zone with no option of a screen or
a pass down the field. Let's just run it. And
it didn't always look pretty, but Kayden Durham or whoever
the running back was would break a tackle or two
and get some really nice yardage. And why can they
do that because the offensive lineman when they fire off
the ball and go for their block, they're presenting you
a read instead of like pitter pattering, like stuttering your
feet because you're trying to like not get down the
field and you're don't know if you're throwing it or
you're running it. Even if you're running the ball and
you're a left tackle and you have to work to
the will linebacker and you fire off and you miss
your block, that's still giving the back of read something
to play football off of when you don't know what's
going to happen with that block. That's when you start
trying to figure out a nice word to say. That's
when you start tiptap tiptoeing through the tulips. I guess
something footing is what I wanted to say. So it
was nice to see them through the tulips. Yeah, it
was really nice to see that. And it gave you
some It gave the running backs some really good I
feel like a game for the running backs to really
build off of, because although it wasn't all good, you
miss some reads, there's some really good tape out there
for the offensive line coach, the running backs coach, the
offensive court to teach from.
Speaker 2: Ye you get in all right.
Speaker 6: I did think it got better throughout the game, no doubt,
no question, because at the beginning there was creases there
and probably to your point, you're not used to those
being there. You're used to trying to search patrol the
area for anything any daylight you can find. But then
they were able to stay on their track and just
actually hit it with their shoulder square towards the defense
and go and Kaden Durham made the adjustment during the game.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: And so like when I watch film, like I I
watch it like kind of emotionally, and I'm watching it
and then I try to take the emotions out after
a little bit, and so I'm like texting Jacob.
Speaker 2: The whole time. I'm like, what are they doing? Blah
blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, text him like in the first quarter, second quarter
of me watching film yesterday and I'm like, man, what
Kayden Durham's missing some stuff?
Speaker 2: Man, Like, what's going on with this guy? And then
all of a sudden second half Of'm like, oh, he's
got it. He found it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like he did some of those reads that weren't
presenting himself again and had the best opportunity to just
be able to read a pure run this year, right,
So yeah, you got to You got to see it.
It's not like just something you can just go do.
You got to see it. And he started doing it.
He played a heck of a game in that second half,
and like I.
Speaker 6: Was telling you too, every you know, every look, everyone's
going to be different. And I think running backs have
to understand that too. Even mentioned this on the call,
like when it is third and one, fourth and one
or whatever, like when you see like half of a
shoulder for a defense, or you see a crease, that's
what you take because you know that you're two hundred
plus pounds going full speed and you're gonna be able
to fall forward for the first down. Like early in
the game it was trying to hit the fourteen yard
run on fourth and one third more like whatever short
yard situation might have been, and like you have to
know the situation as a runner and look eventually, and
sometimes it happens on those third and ones because you're doing,
you know, the right thing by reading it, trying to
find the smallest crease you can just see. Then all
of a sudden you'll find that you're running through two
arm tackles and then you're to the second level before
you know it. But the goal of those runs is
to get the first down and then everything else is
laying yet like everything you get after that, that's a bonus.
Speaker 2: And early in the game, I'm like, you start doing
in that little bit, and they did. So it was
good to see them.
Speaker 6: Really for the first time, have that ability to go
out there, stay on their track, read their keys, hit
it full speed, and I improved throughout the game they did,
and I don't look the run blocking grades are much
better than the pass blocking grade.
Speaker 4: Yes, like we're we're waxing poetically a little bit about
the run game because we kind of on the show
and everybody wanted to see a better running game, and
what are you going to do in the bye week?
So the things that we were hoping they would do,
I feel like got accomplished, and I feel like made
a lot of positive steps in the right direction in
the running game.
Speaker 2: Now, when we come back and.
Speaker 4: The rest of the show, like we're gonna start talking
about the passing game and the deficiencies we have there. Now,
there's some good. Okay, it's not all bad. It's not
all doom and gloom around here. However, there's some dooming guns. Yeah,
there is. There's some things that got to get better.
NUSS has got to get better. Receivers got to get better.
Protection's got to get better. Protection, calls and adjustments have
to get better. I'm gonna take a look at the
interception from Garrett Nesmyer, the first interception, okay, and.
Speaker 2: How small a protection.
Speaker 4: Small little ad lib on a protection adjustment, and if
he didn't do that, the interception doesn't happen. All right,
That's one little thing it's it's like that everywhere, one
little thing. Garrett might make a bad throw in the cross,
says aus bed throw, but it might be the receiver spot.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a look at it. Can we look
at that one play next? Oh? Absolutely, we'll do that
when we come back here on OTV. Off the bench,
all right?
Speaker 6: Go to go Tommy's dot com a U X Tommy
with a why go Tommy's dot Com. You'll clearly see
the difference when you go to the website that's Tommy's Windows,
Doors and Siding. And when you go to the website,
check out testimonials of past clients, check out a gallery
of work that they can do for you they've done
around town here in the greater Baton Rouge area.
Speaker 2: You'll also notice that they hang awards.
Speaker 6: They stacked the awards over at Tommy's Angie Super Service
Award every year since twenty sixteen Best Windows in Baton Rouge.
This year that goes to Tommy and the team over
at Tommy's Windows Doors and Sighting two five two five
zero eighty eight zero eight.
Speaker 4: That's right, Tommy's Windows Doors Inciding. I want to encourage
you to go to their website Go Tommies dot Com
and just let the top bar. Go to their gallery
see their gallery work. You can hear us talk about
it all day long, but until you see it, you
won't believe it. So and if you have a project,
whether it's renovation, whether it's a new build, whatever it is,
give them a call. Make sure they're one of those

Speaker 2: Already, go Jue, go jee.
Speaker 6: If you were a kid in the nineties and you
didn't have this CD herd Nerd Alert, please, Jock's only.
Speaker 2: Chuck j.
Speaker 6: All right, uh, Matthew, Hey, what's up, Bud. You've got
four minutes.
Speaker 2: Four minutes to wax poetically about this play? Sure, all right.
I don't know that you want to wax poetic about it,
but we're not going to.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 4: I just want to show kind of the listeners, like
how close things are, Like when you sit it's not
always what you see is what you get.
Speaker 2: But it's a results oriented world.
Speaker 4: It's a results oriented sport, especially when you play in
the SEC. Whether you're good or you're bad, you're great
or you're okay. It's the difference in some little little things,
and the little things make a big difference.
Speaker 2: Wow. We came out of this place saying Garrett is terrible.
Wow what is he doing? But I want to see
I want you to watch this. So we have a
two bout two formation.
Speaker 4: This is third and twelve, by the way, two minutes
I think twenty one seconds left in the second quarter,
so driving down great opportunity.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So we got a two about two little doubles
formation for those on the radio.
Speaker 4: So what they're doing two about two formation double so
double left, whatever, a little stack to the top.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So they line up the mic in the A gap,
so they got two three techniques on the defensive tackle.
So they got a little get the line the mic
right up against the center. So what we're gonna do
right here is we got four down linemen, we got
five offensive linemen, So five off offensive lineman gonna take
the four down linemen, right. Pretty obvious and also the
most dangerous. So we're gonna declare Mike in the middle.
Speaker 2: We call that a five down. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So basically this look starts to look like a bare front.
It's basically becomes like a five to zero type of
pass protection. Every man's everybody on the offensive linement has
a man. Okay, all right, now the back has everybody else.
Speaker 2: Yep, all right.
Speaker 4: I want to rewind a little bit here the back
during this pass play, the back's on the right side
of the formation. This is very important. The play calls
for the back to be on the right side of
the formation.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: It might seem like a little thing, but it's a
huge thing, and you're about to see why. All right,
we have the wheel linebacker. Oh, we can say the
Sam linebacker, Nicol Sam. He lines up and he looks
a little bit dangerous. He looks like he might be
able to come. So what does Garrett do. He looks
over whisper sweet nothing to the running backs of the
ear and told him to line up on the left. Yep, okay,
Well when he does that, all right, watch him right here.
He's gonna whisper to him get over there, over there,
because he wants him to get over there. A little
bit better protection. He even points at the guy. Yeah, yeah,
right there, You see this little point got him yep. Okay,
well the guy didn't come, and what happens. He's on
that side, so he gets a little confused maybe, and
he runs a route to the left side of the formation,
which he's not supposed to because the tight end's running
the flat route. Yeah, the tight end has flat control. Okay,
he's got a sneak. What does the mic linebacker do?
He drops towards the side of the running backs route.
The MIC linebacker drops to the left because the running
backs on the left, And who does Garrett have to
throw it over to hit this wide open receiver over
the middle back on the left or the linebacker. Okay,
he's got them watch it from the back. So number
zero right there. If eight runs his route right here,
he should be on the right side this whole pass concept.
He should be over here, either running to the flat
or spotting up right here. What happens, Zero would go
right there with him. Yeah, So the mic goes over
the passing lane. No, Smyer's got to try to throw
it over the time the mike gets in the passlane
because he's following the running right. Don't watch this still.
Don't love his feet, but his feet's out great. But look,
he has to throw it over zero because he's right
in the middle. If he's not there, that's an easy completion.
Does it over him? I throw interception. Yeah, it's the
little things out there, people, The little things make a
huge difference in football. Pass protection such an important thing.
I've seen it multiple times. Right now, we haven't made
the right mike adjustment, the mic call.
Speaker 2: That's what we call it. Cross key.
Speaker 4: Keep the back to the right, and if the guy
from the backside comes, he crosses over. It's called a crosskey.
You key your guy across the center. If he doesn't,
you stay on your route.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, so you have a flat to the right,
your route, that's the concept. Okay, when the quarterback moves
you to the left, Okay, you have to know that
doesn't mean I run a flat to the left. I
still have to get in the same window that I
was supposed to be in. And so we call that
a sneak. So you probably insert yourself in the A
or B gag. You might not sneak their way.
Speaker 4: You might not a practice with a cross that shouldn't
even be an option. You should cross key the back right,
don't move him over to the left side.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you do, the back also has got
to help him out and he's that's that's two wrongs
all now one because he's got to get out of
that window. All you gotta do is sneak across the
formation and chances are you're gonna be wide open yourself.
Speaker 2: Two wrongs to make it right. Two wrongs make an interception,
oh man, a bad one. That's not good. So it's
just because to show you football is a game of inches.
We get it. We saw al Pacinos say that about say,
any given Sunday. There told you that Sunday, any given Saturday, here,
little little little thing. The game is filled with those
little things right there. So got to clean it up.
