Speaker 3: Hester and Hester got a fatta.
Speaker 1: Pa your locks in to off the Bench control the
Live from the Raising Kine Studio. Here's Jacob Hester and
Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: Jazz you. What's up? Welcome man off the bench Tuesday
morning from the Raisin Caine Studio. Ohh seven o'clock snuck
up on me there. I didn't hear Taylor. Taylor usually
does a little break sometimes.
Speaker 5: I like just hit the open.
Speaker 4: Well, welcome in Tuesday, Tuesday morning here.
Speaker 5: And uh, you're like casually taking your headphones off. The
opens playing and you're like casually taking your.
Speaker 4: Head my headphones on until Taylor starts talking bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't give you the signal.
Speaker 4: That's all right. Well we're here, and uh wow, it's
freezing this morning. Yeah, thirty two degrees. What happened?
Speaker 5: Oh no, because it was warm this weekend.
Speaker 4: I know it was very warm this weekend. I was actually, uh,
I think I told you yesterday. I came back in
from vacation Friday and it was like eighty something degrees
and I just came back from Colorado the slopes from
skiing where it was very cold, and yeah, do they
do that ser this morning? Server. But I think there's
a lot of like, yeah, you can drive over Shaka bra. Yeah.
I think there's there's some carryover. Yeah, certainly, especially the
people that live in Colorado. There's certainly that vibe. Yeah,
of like hanging loose shaka super chill. Oh yeah, super chill,
just one with the earth. I just want to be
on the mountain. I'll come back though. I came back
and it was like eighty something. I was like, oh, well,
it's started. It's already late February. Springs basically started to
film and I licked in my backyard as we talked.
We talked about the weeds. Yesterday it started growing, zaleas
were starting to pop a little bit. I don't know
how the azaleas feel to it. This morning, we'll see. Yeah, Taylor,
do you know what an azalea is? Yeah, it's the
big bunch with the pink flowers. Yeah, you got exposed
a little bit yesterday when you're lawn care knowledge.
Speaker 6: I mean, just because I don't participate those of me
and I don't know what they are. I don't know
types of grass because I don't care. As long as
my grass looks good, that's all that matters.
Speaker 4: Right, I don't know. I think our listeners are probably
a little disappointed.
Speaker 6: Yesterday, probably not the first time they've been disappointed.
Speaker 4: Mat But that was kind of the one thing you
had though, right, Yeah, that was it? Uh huh, that
was it? Well, how y'all doing well? Vibe check this morning?
Are we doing? Jake's not here. Nobody hears Jake. We
see cute little Caine sitting across the table front me
with her microphone on. Probably won't say anything this morning.
Speaker 5: She's adorable.
Speaker 4: She's adorable. She was sitting in this chair this morning.
I don't know. We'll give you all that update every
every morning where she is in the studio when we
come in, she looks.
Speaker 5: Like she's ready to say something.
Speaker 4: Though she is ready to say. She's shy. She is
shy that she's here.
Speaker 5: When she speaks, we listen, that's how like. She's very decisive.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Jake is at the Combine this week doing
a little NFL radio for the Combine.
Speaker 5: So but he will be big shot, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Have big shot, all right? Pal working for the shield
right now this week in Indy, I think of mine. So, uh,
he will be joining the show for a decent amount,
be a little bit unlike the super Bowl week where
schedules just did not align. He's gonna be big boy
to us. He big boy to us a little bit.
He big boy us. He didn't want to wake up
at five in the morning.
Speaker 5: Is there a time difference over there or no.
Speaker 4: I believe they're at Central time. I believe they're at
our ahead of us right now. Okay, Now I didn't
realize that Indianapolis, but Jake told us yesterday that they
don't observe daylight savings, so half the half to the
central basically. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I knew that about.
Is it Arizona that does that as well? I think?
I think so one of the one of these states,
one of those states.
Speaker 5: Around I didn't know people were out here doing that. Yeah,
how do you live in one of those places? I
hate daylight savings or whatever, the whatever, the one where
it gets darker earlier is I don't like that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually think that's the normal time if I'm correct.
Speaker 5: So I don't like normal time.
Speaker 4: You don't like normal I do like daylight. Hmmm, we're
gonna look it up. Get we can get the official
I think there's some I think I I think they
wanted to save some daylight.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: It all started with like, oh, well this is where
you do your farming and all that they wanted to
next year. But Matt, can I interest you in a
really cool invention that I'm not sure the daylight savings
people know of. They're called headlights. They were made on
most tractors in heavy machinery now, so it's kind of
pointless to see. I see that has is always how
I understood it. It was dayla savings was for more
daylight for farmers to do that. But then I heard
somebody debunk that semi recently. That's what I said, we
got to look it up. That's what I've always heard too.
Speaker 4: Well anyway, Indianapolis said, nah, we don't believe in you
daylight savings.
Speaker 5: I respect it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of respect it too. Anyway, Jo I.
Speaker 5: Just looked it up. It says it was actually during
World War One to reduce electricity demand for lighting, and
the practice was standardized in nineteen sixty six to extend
daylight for leisure and industry. So it was originally for
saving fuel for the war effort, but I like sitting
for leisure.
Speaker 4: And industry almost been taking for so long they.
Speaker 6: Have I guess this part of industry, we made it
three World War One, that's behind us.
Speaker 4: There is no more energy constraints.
Speaker 5: Well, but they also like standardized it fifty years later.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: World one is like nineteen three eighteen, nineteen seventeen. I
know for sure because the movie is fire Love that movie.
Speaker 4: That might be my favorite war movie. Really, it might be.
Speaker 5: There's so many good ones. I mean, that one's a
good one, but I just like that it's all one shot.
Speaker 4: That's mm hmmm. I don't even think I've ever thought
about what my favorite war movie is, because they're my
favorite type of movies. Heartbreak Ridge, Heartbreak Ridge.
Speaker 5: Well, I guess that's not really camp. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wait, which one's Heartbreak Ridge.
Speaker 6: Marines puts the platoon together, they got a Grenada at
the end of the movie, which Grenada was a war
that lasted like ten days.
Speaker 4: I gotta say, I gotta tell you, I don't think
I've ever seen that one.
Speaker 5: It's pretty good. It's more of a boot camp one
than anything gotta go to boot camp, yeah, or camp
or whatever.
Speaker 4: And obviously here in the Foxhole, we love the troops,
So yeah, we love a war movie. Do you love
the true should we? Man? I've never been a part
of the show, and y'all did like a tearless, But
I mean it feels like movie seems like.
Speaker 5: Like I don't think we've done a tearless since I
first joined this show that summer.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. It was because the last year and
a half Tea Bob was here, we did not interesting.
Speaker 4: We just get burned out or what.
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody cared enough to like argue over
where to put what ta.
Speaker 6: Bum got really upset one time that nobody had seen
the show room when we were doing hbos.
Speaker 4: Like he was over it. After that, I felt like
a war movie would be a good one though, because
there was a ton So my my my son's just
perpetuating the stereotype. Recently and we started watching as a
family the Marvel movies, which are it's a fantastic watch
with children, especially my children's age, because they've never liked
really like section seen action movie and like a semi
you know, don't appropriate, but I felt like we're they're
at a moment and in their life where it's okay
to watch with with the parents.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, Marvel's not bad and it's and it's.
Speaker 4: Been really cool. But like we are. I think we're
at the first Avengers movie now. And I was talking
to him yesterday. I was like, hey, what's your favorite
Marvel movie? And you know, Tusay said like Thor Hayman

Speaker 5: Was that last? That was it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sunday was the closing ceremonies.
Speaker 5: And that last less time than I thought I did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's two weeks. It opens up on just a
little over two weeks, because I think the opening ceremonies
were on that Friday and then closing on Sunday. The
US Olympic hockey team is on an epic run right
now of celebrations. They have been in nightclubs. They've been
crowdsurfing it. They've been they crowdsurfing last night at a nightclub. Now,
it didn't No, that's what like I was. I saw
a ton of vid is coming out. It was a
Ka Chuck Brothers. It was so like hockey players are
known for when they celebrate, they go hard for a
long period of time. It isn't just like one night
we're staying up, you know, drinking from the Stanley Cup
or anything. Okay, they're in Florida, So I saw them.
One of the one of the guys was singing Toby
Keith courtesy of the Red, White and Blue Dude.
Speaker 6: They were blawing that thing in the locker room after
the game, like this is this might be my favorite
team ever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they were they all had American flags on.
This is in the middle of a night club and
like the center stage. Uh. And then they were all
crowdsurfing to freebird. Yes, so they are living one hell
of an American dream.
Speaker 5: They really are.
Speaker 4: On a heck of a celebration tour and probably one
of the greatest sporting events. Like I've been reading for
like just seeing posts and articles from you know, the
the top athletes of every sport posting about that game.
And this was even into yesterday saying like, looking back
on the hockey game, it might be the greatest sporting
event I've ever watched with my eyes. And this is
coming from like big time athletes. Now as fans, the
best sporting event that you've ever watched your life, it's
probably your favorite team winning a championship. Like yel, she
has a lot of those moments. But I just coming
from athletes that probably don't have that fandom, but they
all we can all agree that we have the fantom
for America stars and stripes, and so like they're saying
the greatest, one of the greatest sporting events they'd ever watched,
and it was I've got people that I've talked to
yesterday they were like, you know what, hockey's pretty cool game.
I'm yes, first time you've ever been like walked into
a hockey game. Probably it's pretty awesome. I told my
dad Sunday. He called me, He's like, did you watch that?
I was like that.
Speaker 6: The NHL playoffs very similar. The NHL playoffs are great.
Did you see Jack Hughes that came out yesterday? ESPN
put it out. I'll trying to find a picture of it.
When he was at the twenty nineteen like about to
get drafted, they said write a letter to your future
self and it was all about, hey, your older brother
helped you get here, and hopefully we get to play
together someday. And he's like, that'd be wild. Maybe we
want a gold medal together or something. And he wrote
that in twenty nineteen. It was a letter to his
future self and I put it out.
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, it was awesome. There you go. Power of
the tongue, that's right, power your words, words are powerful.
Tell my children that every day.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I so we discovered this last year, I was like,
I need LSU to run rule, or I need a
run rule when LSU played a midweek game versus Nichols
because it was a late first pitch and I had
to be here the next morning. So I was like,
I need a run rule so that we can so
I can get home early. I need a run roll
Nichols run rolled LSU. The season I learned my lesson,
I said, specify, I need LSU to run roll Nichols.
And guess what they did it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got They got one this week she or
last week she specified. Nice, you gotta put the you
gotta put those words out in the universe. Yes, how
are you supposed to universe supposed to give it back to
if they didn't know exactly it is?
Speaker 6: So is your brothers made you what you are on
and off the ice. I hope they'll be able to
say you did the same for them and had great
NHL careers. Maybe we all represented the United States at
the Olympics and maybe even want a gold medal together.
Speaker 4: What an honor that would be. He wrote that to
himself in twenty nineteen. That's cool. Good handwriting too, that's
very good handwriting. It especially for a guy. Guys don't
have great handwriting.
Speaker 7: I do.
Speaker 5: I do get impressed whenever I see a guy with
good handwriting.
Speaker 4: My god, all right, no caps. I cand of write
a combat in all caps. In cursive, I.
Speaker 5: Kind of do a com I don't do all caps,
but I kind of do.
Speaker 4: Like some people speak like spanglish a little bit. Yeah,
that's kind of my writing. I'm like half all caps
in print and half in cursive. It's weird.
Speaker 5: Had to give up the spanglish.
Speaker 4: Speaking of during the show, I'm going to have to
bring up with you what the hell is going on

Speaker 4: Up like that.
Speaker 5: But if you go to TJ Max, you're a Maximista.
Speaker 4: Yeah, whoa, I didn't know that either. It was on
a commercial. It's got to be true, though, Yeah, dumb dumbs. Hey,
how's anybody? How's anybudy?
Speaker 3: Uh? Chili Chili.
Speaker 2: I didn't get into like, uh gosh, like midnight thirty
by the time I got to my hotel room again
because they're Eastern time because they don't take daylight savings time,
so I got here late.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: It's pretty cold, no snow right now though.
Speaker 2: But we get started today and we got some like
right off the top, we got Ben Johnson, we got
Dan Campbell, we got Howie Roseman, Shane Stik and Kevin Stefanski.
So like in the first like two hours of recording,
we're going to knock out a ton of stuff.
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to Dan Campbell, though, Can you.
Speaker 5: Let Ben Johnson know he's on my hot list?
Speaker 3: I'll see what I can do. I'll see what I
can do.
Speaker 4: Do you think you can take a shirt off?
Speaker 5: Don't get.
Speaker 2: I mean I would get more excited for Dan Campbell
if you'll know me at all.
Speaker 4: So that's first two hours, So like when does the
show start? What is this? This after an inshow?
Speaker 2: So we're gonna be reporting a ton today for the show.
A lot of it's gonna be live too. It's gonna
bet a little mixing match. So it's from three to
seven Eastern so two to six Central time. It'll be
on the NFL radio channel eighty eight. But I mean
that's what it is, like gms and coaches and you know,
you remember how it was like all the players are
like getting here, but they're in the hospital getting you know,
all the physicals, and they're in the registration process and
it's funny like you get here and you hurry up
and wait for all this stuff and they'll start meetings
but they don't even like do on the field stuff
for a.
Speaker 3: Couple of days after they get here.
Speaker 2: So today will be a lot of coaches, GMS, front
office execs, some of the colts owners stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm let's see. I am seeing that on Tuesday.
So DBS tight ends wide receivers quarterbacks, wide receivers start
reporting in today and registering. That all sound about, right, tim, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't think they but they don't work out until Thursday.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's such man, it's such a long week.
We talked about this yesterday too. It's just like it's
a week of attrition and it's designed specifically that way too.
I don't even know if you would want to get
on the field like you. Certainly it stinks as a
player to not get on the field till like day
three of being there, especially after being exhausted, But like
you're so kind of excited once you get there and
so nervous you probably don't want to do it immediately either.
It's probably it's it is good to or if like
I could have like my wish when I was there,
it's like get there for like the night, like Monday night,
do some stuff Tuesday, then work out Wednesday. But now,
but no, you gotta wait till Thursday to work out.
I don't know. I think like there's so many nerves
going in. I don't think you immediately would want to
work out.
Speaker 2: I would think the best case scenario is let's just
call it Monday.
Speaker 3: So you get in Monday around four and the first day.
Speaker 2: You go and you you know, you get there four
but the hospital is ready for you, and you do
all the physical stuff that day. That night, Tuesday you
go and you meet with every team that is interested
in you. And then Wednesday you hit the field running,
you go do your deal. Wednesday night you're back on
a bird going somewhere else. Like you're you're there for
basically two days, because you put two half days together
in a full day. That would make a lot of
sense to me. But like you said, like there's so
much of this that's like how much can we throw
at him and can he handle it?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 3: And so like that's part of it.
Speaker 2: Like there's gonna be guys that are here, you know again,
like you said, they probably flew in last night and
they're not gonna work out until Thursday.
Speaker 3: But that just it feels unnecessary. But I guess they've
been doing.
Speaker 2: This for a long time and they feel like they
got to figure it out.
Speaker 4: When you spend ten of your twenty awake hours per
day in a hospital, there's there's not that much time
to do that. That's what I would like to see
a little bit different. And now I know you got
to do your hospital business but they have one or
have a handful of NFL team doctors. Instead of every
team doctor getting your hands on you and ordering an MRI,
it's like have a set of NFL doctors that pretty
much give the report to everybody else. Now these doctors
can be like voted in by the other door whatever
that is. But when you're spending three days before you
work out, because of most of a lot of it,
the most time you spend is in the medical stuff,
like getting medical exams MRIs, that kind that like it
can be one less day if you just kind of
like do one overall medical view MRI of everything of
every single player, and then you give the rest of
the time to have more. What I think is the
important stuff is meetings with meetings with teams because like you,
I remember the speed dating room it was you got
I don't know, was it ten minutes five minutes with
every team every player?
Speaker 3: Did I think it's I think it's I think it's
ten minutes.
Speaker 4: Is it ten minutes?
Speaker 3: I think it was.
Speaker 2: Ten minutes in the speed dating and they're in the
train station. And then if you have what if you
had a formal meeting, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: Like what like forty five longer than I.
Speaker 4: Don't think it was forty five an hour, but I
didn't have as many of those. But if you think
about ten minutes the speed in that's a little over
five hours that you're sitting to the top. How many
hours did you spend in the hospital.
Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, like twelve.
Speaker 4: You spend more time.
Speaker 3: I never missed a game at LSU, not one.
Speaker 4: You spend more time in a hospital waiting room. That's
not even like seeing a doctor, just sitting there waiting,
either in the waiting room or in a tube, magnetic tube. Yeah,
then you do speaking with the teams, which is which
is a little wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, I see, you had a meniscus surgery
and high school. Even though you didn't miss any games
in college, we're still going to have you in this
tube for three hours.
Speaker 3: We've got to get some good pictures of it. Yeah,
because of a niscus tear.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was coming off of ac AC injury
on my right shoulder and which is feeling really good
going to the combine. But that's why I didn't play
in like the East West game was because it was
right after the National Championship game. I wanted to rest
it up for the combine, and I get there. I'm
feeling great. About day two, after thirty two team doctors
had been pressing on it and twisting and stretching and
pulling on my shoulder, I was like, my shoulder hurts
now that you've been doing all this stuff. But so
thank you for that right before I got to go
throw Yeah whatever, Oh well, what a fun time you
sit on it.
Speaker 2: You sit on the table like Matt's talking about, and
every doctor of every team comes and just grabs whatever
injury you might have and pulls it and tugs it out.
It might give you an injury by the end of it,
like every one of them.
Speaker 4: Like you sit on one table, doctor, there's there's thirty
two team doctors that come in and while you're on
this medical table, and they all have a job to do.
They're all getting paid. They don't want to be the
one that that screws up, so they all give you
the own separate evaluation. So you're on that. You're on that, uh,
you're on the doctor's table for like two hours. It's
fantastic anyway, what a fun time, What a great time
to be alive. Great memories, am all right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, I love it. Glad, glad, glad. I'm
here to uh to cover it and not be a part.

you might just bring this song back and bad. It's
just like heat carpool time. Right now, kids driving to
school probably hearing this for the first time.
Speaker 5: No Beastie Boys for the kids. Well, I mean I
was doubt it listening to girls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, like, I'm sure there's some teenage kids driving
to school right now.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 5: Child? Probably listening to Beastie Boys way too early?
Speaker 3: What is this betie boys?
Speaker 4: You mean what is this?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 4: Well, I know what this is. I'm saying there are
people might be hearing this for the first time.
Speaker 5: I just blew a teenage boys mind.
Speaker 4: I got some fresh sixteen year olds driving to school
right now, blew his mind with his music tuning in.
It's off the bench. What's wrong? It's going on behind
the glass over there? Jake, let me get a well
technology check on you, right? Can you see us or
can we just see you?
Speaker 3: He can just see the I can kind of see
like the studio.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, like the little the.
Speaker 5: Little cameras pointing to the studio, gotcha the little down there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like you know when you take a
picture and you like zoom all the way out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, got it perfect?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a point live yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back here off the bench. It was
a hell of an intro to this segment.
Speaker 3: Great song.
Speaker 4: Jack and Pastor joined us from the combine. I want
to talk a little bit about the LSU boys at
the combine. I'm kind of been reading some articles looking
at it. There's some people talking about nus Meyer, what
he's kind of has to prove, what he can gain
from this week. L s U really just with one consensus,
like first round in Monsieur Delaine and then kind of
the next two people up that they're saying day two
AJ Halsey and potentially Nussmeyer on day two. Of those
of those two guys, of any of the LSU guys,
really who is the who could potentially improve their stock
the most this week? And we talked to yesterday about
like you really go to the combine not to make
sure you don't hurt yourself. There's very little you can do.
But I do think Nussmeyer is still in that position
because of such a poor showing in twenty twenty five
season that anything he does well and can show that
he's above people talent wise or is going to help
him tremendously. So like of any of the guys been
specifically Nesmier to start with, like what what do you think?
What are you looking forward to seeing from the LSU guys?
Speaker 2: Well, I think for Garrett, like Mobile was probably more
important than this is going to be. I he'll probably
throw and he'll maybe impress some people here and there,
But for him, like it was Mobile, like he had
to go out there and kind of show with a
week of practice that he be the guy that we
I've all seen him be when he was a junior
at LSU. So like this, for him, it's the meetings right,
and he'll blow that out of the water. Like he'll
go in there and he'll impress them once he gets
on the white board. So for him, I think the
hardest part is over. For other guys, like this is
a great opportunity for all the burners. You've got a
receiver with Aaron Anderson and Thomas and Chris Hilton, like
all those guys Berry on Brown, they're fast, like really fast,
and so they're going to come in here and they
can be impressive with their forty times. But if you
ask me, like which one can gain the most, I
think AJ Hawsey is probably that guy.
Speaker 3: When you talk to NFL people, they love aj Hawsey.
Speaker 2: Now like NFL draft guys that sit there and do
that all year long, you don't see his name as
much as some of the other safeties. But I think
NFL people value aj Halsey a little bit more.
Speaker 4: I think I think I think football people probably like
football guys that have played before and evaluate not just
based on hand size and forty times. Are you just
turn it like he's a guy that I don't know
how you can change your opinion on him after the
last game of the season, But somebody's gonna change it.
He's going to drop in somebody's eyes. He's gonna like
whatever it is. But like that's the that's one of
the epitome of just turn on the tape, get that
cowboy remote in your hand and press rewind a bunch
of times on a bunch of plays like and you're
going to see a dude that can just flat out
don't overthink aj Halsey. I can play. He got to
play football.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right there with you, and so I guess
they won'tant to get a time on him. I don't
think he has to be a Blazer by any means.
He's a bigger safety, but they just want to get
a verified time on him. And so I think like
this week for him, the testing is probably more important
than other guys coming out of L s U.
Speaker 4: So you're right.
Speaker 2: I mean the tape kind of shows what he can
be as a player. He's very physical safety. Too many
times he had to make.
Speaker 3: The tackle, it felt like there for a couple of
games stretch, but he did. Right, he got to that
third level and he was always.
Speaker 2: There and always would play a big hit in the
Vaderbilt game kind of comes to mind of unfortunately he
had to make a ton of tackles, but he did,
and he did so violently.
Speaker 4: You know. Yeah, he don't definitely don't want him to no,
I mean, don't want.
Speaker 2: To get to the third level that many times, but
he had to and look he did, so I think
I think he'll have a lot to gain here. I
mean again, like if he runs a good four to five,
he'll be okay, Like he didn't have to go out.
Speaker 4: Here even a four to six. To me, He's not
going to be like Earl Thomas free safety where he
covers sideline to sideline. That's not That's not him, right,
He's going to be a guy that no that especially
with all the hybrid hybrid cover threes and cover one
combos that they that defense is run right now and
disguising and playing playing low safeties that are kind of
playing a hybrid linebacker. I mean it all kind of
started with like a Camp Chancellor types back and back
with the.
Speaker 3: What do they call that now? That hybrid linebacker?
Speaker 4: What do they call it now? Hybrid safety linebacker? Like
it's just you you play lower, you call it free
safety or strong safety, just playing in a different position.
Don't do that to me.
Speaker 3: Kind of like a star a little bit.
Speaker 4: Now he can be a star, but it's not a position. Pal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: I just want to see if you'd say it, Uh,
what about what about Harold Perkins? How about that guy?
You know, like we don't know what position he's going
to play in the NFL. We never really knew a
position year to year he was gonna play at LSU.
He obviously again we've we've explained he's not an edge player. Uh,
he can dabble in that from time to time. But uh,
you know, we talked to coaches that Jimbo Fisher, He's like, yeah,
he's per was great off the edge, but as soon
as he got there, we were checking run right at him,
right right, and so like that can't be where he
lives and.
Speaker 3: Seeing off the ball linebacker? Does he play some nickel
sam in the NFL?
Speaker 2: Is that position that's even valuable enough like in the
NFL right now, like compared to what it is in college.
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know where he plays. I think he'll
probably test well, like I would assume he'll test well.
Speaker 2: But for a guy that's played a lot of football
we've talked a lot about has been a star and
not the position, but an actual star at times in
his LSU career, Like where does he go? Like where
where is he going to play?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: You know how it is like there is going to
be a team that turns on his freshman tape and
falls in love with what he did there.
Speaker 4: It's just like the Nutmeyer thing right that you've seen him,
Like you can't do it right? Right, So.
Speaker 3: I don't know what position that guy plays in the NFL.
Speaker 2: But I have to imagine somebody is going to fall
in love with the tape that's out there, the good tape,
and they're gonna take a shot at it.
Speaker 4: Yeah dude, hey listen, don't be coming out here and
talking about star position. Like if you're doing NFL radio
this week, you can't say the star position because that's
not a thing in the NFL. Okay, it's just it's
just dumb college football lingo.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be chopping it up with all these coaches,
So tell me about your star position.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, they're gonna be like, Okay, well you're an idiot,
Like we know you play. You're gonna be like, yeah, hey,
Ben Johnson, tell me about your star Parsis. He's gonna
be looking to the guy like his his person, like like, hey,
what's this guy's deal? Who is this guy? Is a
college guy?
Speaker 3: I really like.
Speaker 2: I wanted to do it with a guy with a
defensive background. Jeff Haffley, who just got hired by the Dolphins.
J's a defense coordinator.
Speaker 3: Hey, Joe, Joe, implement the star there in Green Bay.
Speaker 4: What were the some of the dumb positions that Alabama
has listed for their linebackers like the wolf wolf uh god,
was more. What do you call a wolf?
Speaker 3: Was definitely one.
Speaker 4: Though, Hey, Jim Schwartz, what do you call the linebacker?
That's kind of like a place he can also cover,
but he can also play linebacker. What do you call that?
I'll be like, what do you mean? It's a sam,
it's the will, it's a linebacker, you idiot.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get one of them to say start today.
Speaker 4: You probably will. You probably will because you're gonna pay him.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, these NFL coaches need my local radio money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt. All right, we're gonna go to break
you guys. During the breakout, just think about that star
position and how dub it is. And we're gonna come
