Speaker 1: All start Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied to come
off the bench. Hour two of Off the Bench Live
from the Mercedes Benz Baton Rouge Studio starts now.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, Heah Hour number two of O
TV one four five ESPN and Baton Rouge. Let's go
ahead now and get to some weekend winner.
Speaker 2: That's how win it has done.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: We can't have anyone to freak out out there.
Speaker 3: Okay, he's got a key bark apologer got too far.
Speaker 2: I'm by winning. I went here and I win there.
Speaker 3: No one, are you doing what it takes to win
a championship? Wow?
Speaker 2: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left
to do. What's that win the whole thing? All right?
Speaker 3: We'll start off with Clayton Kershaw weekend winner. He becomes
only the fourth left handed pitcher to ever mass three
thousand career strikeouts. Obviously, longevity has to play a big part,
and then you gotta play for a long time, you
gotta stay healthy, and you gotta be good, and he
is all of those things. So Clayton kershall Man, three
times Cy Young Award winner, He's going to actually be
put on the All Star team this year. Kind of
one of those, you know, tip of the cap to
your career because this is going to be, I believe,
his last year to play baseball. I think he was
just trying to get to three thousand. He is now there.
And man, I was at John Smoltz game for the
Braves whenever he got his three thousand strikeout. Doesn't happen
very often. Again, only the fourth left handed pitcher to
ever do it.
Speaker 2: That's a big deal. He's such a good pitcher.
Speaker 4: And you know, when you're kind of like a five
by night baseball fan like myself, you only really watch
in Major League I've only like watched playoff series in
the last handful of years, and it seems like he's
always getting hit. I don't know if it's that. Is
that a thing with him? I feel like it's always
kind of like in the playoffs, he just doesn't show
up like he does in the regular season.
Speaker 3: Man, well, just hating this guy. I after to put
him in a weekend Was that a thing? Though he's
not as good in the postseason? As he is kind.
Speaker 4: I mean, and like, you know, one bat out in
a you know, in a playoff, can make it seem
like you're not a playoff dude. But pretty cool. Three thousand.
I'm gonna keep it here in the Major League baseballs.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the major League Major.
Speaker 2: League Baseball at the MLB Chicago Cubs. I don't know.
Speaker 4: If there's many things more American then their team, shout
out to them.
Speaker 2: They've been a team a while.
Speaker 4: There's not nothing much more American than Wrigley filled, especially
Riggy Field on July fourth. But on this July fourth,
Chicago Cubs set a new franchise record eight home runs
in a single game. That's eight dingers if you're counting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is.
Speaker 4: It's a feat that's only been done twenty three times
in Major League Baseball history.
Speaker 2: Eight home runs in one game.
Speaker 4: Let's see here, Michael Bush, I think first basement hitting
three home runs, three of them three dingers. So shout out.
They've been playing baseball a long time. So anytime you
can set a franchise record in a positive way from
an organization been playing baseball that long is pretty darn good,
especially cool being on July fourth, yep.
Speaker 3: I was watching the game, was impressed.
Speaker 2: Run Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5: So I have quite a few weekend winners on like
the entire weekend. But if we're gonna keep it with baseball,
got a couple LSU Baseball MLB weekend winners Paul Skeens
and Alex Bregman, both named to All the All Star
teams for twenty twenty five. So shout out to them.
Speaker 6: Poor Paul. Get him out of get him out of Pittsburgh. Yeah.
Also real quick before I like move on to Taylor.
Speaker 5: Huge weekend winners to the All American Rejects and the
Savannah Bananas. Ya I know that the Savannah Bananas for
some reason, you know, the Internet always turns on things
that people enjoy, Like people really love the Savannah Bananas,
and now the internet's kind of turning.
Speaker 6: On the Savannah Bananas. I love them. Taylor, you can play.
We don't need the It's fine, we don't need the sound.
Speaker 5: But you know, All American Rejects has been going to
around to like house and frat parties and stuff like
that and doing like pop up concerts. So they did
it at the Savannah Bananas. And this is just great
marketing for everybody involved. And I love it so much
because I just love what the All American Rejects are
doing with the house tours in general, and then to
like partner it with something like the Savannah Bananas is
so great.
Speaker 6: I love it. So we can winners.
Speaker 5: All American Rejects and the Savannah Bananas they were seeking
move along.
Speaker 3: I mean they are so massive, massive stadium. Yeah, it
is just wild. Like good on them for coming up
with an idea and perfecting it and becoming the Parlem
Globe Trotters of baseball.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean like Times of thousand.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm saying like like when our parents were younger,
like the Globetrotters probably felt something like this though. I
mean they were mass they're not now like I mean
now they come to the River Center and there's you know,
a couple hundred people there. But there was a day where.
Speaker 4: You got to think something like the Savanna Bananas doesn't
happen to this extent without social media.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 4: You can't recreate the Harlem Globe Triter so in a
completely different sport and like do it better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, without the influence they sold out.
Speaker 6: Look at that, that's I think that's why I love
all of this so much.
Speaker 5: Those because like Savannah Bananas are very like on the internet,
they go viral all the time. The All American Rejects,
nobody really talked about them anymore, and then they start
doing these house tours. It starts going viral on Twitter,
on TikTok, all that stuff, and then they partner it
up and they're just.
Speaker 4: Like like, they're not a They're not a weekend winner.
All American Rejects are a summer.
Speaker 2: Winter Yeah, now I agree.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: How long do you think it took the crowd to
realize that that wasn't a Savannah Banana player coming out
because they do that too. They're like lipsync stuff coming
out of the coming out of the stands. And then
they're like, oh all of finway was like.
Speaker 2: All right, cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know, but that's awesome. We can winner them.
Speaker 7: They stayed by the bananas and dug out the entire
game between.
Speaker 2: After they did this, they stayed the whole game.
Speaker 3: Pretty cool. Good on them.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: All right, what you got ye?

Speaker 3: We'll see you've been getting back.
Speaker 2: Oh, we will. He's a list. He's listening right now.
Speaker 3: You're doing uh weekend winter not for something he did
just this weekend, but for a stat that I saw
and you know, continues to play really really well. Former
L s U baseball player Josh Smith. Oh yeah, so,
like right now he's leading the Rangers in batting average.
He's an everyday player, ultimate like utility player, can play
so many different positions. He's got eight home runs on
the year, eight stolen bases, but he's got the most
hits for the Rangers as well, with seventy eight best
on base percent. He's crushing it. Okay. Based off his contract,
he has outplayed his current contract by thirty seven million dollars.
What's the stat that's crazy, thirty seven million dollars. He's
making barely over a million dollars right now in salary.
He's overplayed that by thirty seven million dollars because like
thirty change.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Josh Smith already has already has a World Series ring.
Speaker 3: Yeah two, So yeah, he's gonna get paid because again,
like he plays everywhere, he plays all over the diamond.
Whatever you need him to do. And he's leading an
average on base percentage and hits this year for the Rangers.
So shout out Smith.
Speaker 4: Week in Winter. We don't do a lot of losers
around here. We're positive people.
Speaker 6: I actually feel like I do losers quite a bit. No,
I don't have them today, but I do losers quite
a bit.
Speaker 2: Another week in Winter Ozzy Osbourne.
Speaker 4: So a farewell concert, a final concert, and a lot
of times these things can be cringe, especially with like
older bands that were popular in the seventh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we've.
Speaker 4: Seen something like it's just like all right, we know
they're out there. They probably don't need to be. But
this one was really really well done. He rocked it.
He didn't He was up in a chair and he
didn't move. He didn't try to do it like they
had this farewell It was one last.
Speaker 2: Come let's do. The video absolutely.
Speaker 3: Has many old plus a little first lifestyle we do
from the BLOA I Love you.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure if he cusses in this wow probably
wait wait wait okay, no, he's singing right now. It's fine.
He's doing Paranoid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he finished with Paranoid.
Speaker 4: He plays ahead, but like, uh, the when they when
they played my Mom Coming Home.
Speaker 2: It was great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 3: I will cut it. We'll cut it. A great job though. Anyway, Yeah,
you know that sit in that chair and just rock
it out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you haven't seen it, go watch some of
the clips, go watch it. Like it was a really
well done and like I said, a lot of times,
these things don't hit like you think they should or
you want them to. But that was And then I
saw that his daughter Kelly Osborne got engaged, right, and.
Speaker 5: Then let's go absolutely, Yeah, it was great. They so
he has Parkinson's Yeah, poor Ozzie and that.
Speaker 6: Was like his last show ever.
Speaker 5: But he still sounded fine for somebody that's seventy six
years old and with Parkinson.
Speaker 6: But it was great.
Speaker 5: But I feel like it's probably weird to him or
like to the rest of Black Sabbaths too, because it
almost kind of feels like you're like your own funeral
a little bit, because everyone's like paying tribute to you
and being like we love you, Azzy, Like I don't know,
it's probably a little bit of both, Yeah, like weird
but also alsome at the same time.
Speaker 3: What your band would y'all like, do you want to
see like one more like, all right, let's go out
with a bang. Let's set this up. I don't need you.
I don't need you going around the world tour anymore.
Let's just have one night where you get to you know,
bow out Zeby.
Speaker 5: All right, they would still sound good.
Speaker 3: They still sound good, I think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Man, that's a really good but hard question, that
one a little bit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's to be like another.
Speaker 5: So I have to like really Fleetwood Mac since I'm
like listening to them right.
Speaker 7: Now, Okay, I mean when you say they have to
sound good, like I'd love to see Motley Crew, but
they sound terrible now.
Speaker 2: They're still going.
Speaker 7: So like that would that would have been my choice
if they didn't currently sound bad. I mean I've always
been a big a C d C fan, like them
in their prime, like they'd be.
Speaker 3: I know, did you see the video of them recently?
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I haven't. And if they sound good.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like they didn't sound awful, but man, they
looked old out there. It was hard.
Speaker 7: You see the most recent uh like Axl Rose when
guns and DRIs.
Speaker 4: It's it's hard. It's hard to keep that up, like
using your voice like that for you for someone like
a band would sound really good. They gotta be from
like late eighties nineties, right, and I think.
Speaker 6: I'm yeah, he's still he sounds great. Last yesterday.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey go go enjoy life, man. Yeah, you need
to be out here every I think they do one
a year, Okay, Steve, Steve, chill out. Well I call
it Steve. You know we're boys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, chill out.
Speaker 3: Bruh. You don't have to hit that note on dream
on anymore.
Speaker 6: What if, like, what if we could bring back like
a dead band, how about that band are like or
singer got changes it changes.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm wearing Elvis today.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think going Amy Winehouse.
Speaker 3: That's a good one and like.
Speaker 6: A small intimate setting.
Speaker 3: H bring back a band.
Speaker 2: John Lennon, Oh so true.
Speaker 5: In the chat, says I can't believe no one has
said Oasis as a week in winter.

Speaker 3: You'll see the videos.
Speaker 6: The Gallagher brothers. Yeah, they're awesome.
Speaker 3: There was all the people there. I don't know how many,
but it was all of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Otis Redding oh gone right? Uh?
Speaker 3: Sam Cook gone way too soon. Sam Cook, legendary clean,
Freddy Mercury. That might be the answer.
Speaker 2: Actually, all right, the answer.
Speaker 3: I'll go Freddie Mercury, lad Queen financing because I know
that they're still touring and they had different lead singers,
but ain't nobody Freddy Murky. So when we come back,
I hope he's ready. Who you. Matt Flynn gives you
full of breakdown of Clemson quarterback Kate as he's been
preparing for about a.

Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven Champs Purple and Gold to the core.
This is off the bench with Hester and Flynn Baton
Rougees go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 8: Let's Jay Brea.
Speaker 2: J she.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in OTB one four five ESPN
Beton Rouge And now we gave Flynn a task last
week to kind of give us a profile on Clemson
starting quarterback Cade Club Nick. As we all know that
is who LSU is going to face in the opener.
We also know that he is a Heisman Trophy front
runner right now, and a lot of different betting sites
some that you know he is, like I said, the
front runner, but at worst he's going to be like third.
So it is going to be a true Heisman quarterback
battle in Clemson South Carolina. And so we put our
QB one to review their QB one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've actually I've really enjoyed the process of like
going back and watching some game film. Now I didn't, like,
I haven't gone through every single play he's ever played in,
but I tried to take a.
Speaker 2: I tried to go through.
Speaker 4: And look at one game that wasn't very good yep,
which was their loss against South Carolina. Then I tried
to go and look at one game that was said
to be pretty good, which was the week after the
South Carolina loss against SMU yep. So we try to
break down that film and just kind of get a
feel for who cad Clubnick is as a quarterback. So
you know, I want to paint a picture of him.
So I want to like kind of go back, give
you a little bit of the stats where he came from.
Speaker 3: So he is.
Speaker 4: An amazing Texas high school football quarterback. All right, so
he's from Austin west Lake. Everybody knows Austin Westlake. Drew Brees,
Big Stick, Nick, Nick Foles, Sam Ellinger, They've all come
from there. So they have like a lot of tradition
of this high school big six a school. And Taylor
told me this last week or maybe it was two
weeks ago. In this twenty twenty state championship faced off
against south Lake Carol. It was quarterback by mister quinn Ewers,
So it was a cad Clubnick quinn Youers battle Kate
Clubnick's team ended up winning. I think it was like
fifty one, like thirty three or something like that kind
of a shootout. Quinn Ewers was the top quarterback in
the state. Cade was like the young up and comer
and they once so of course they they got rematched
last year and there was a cool there's a cool
little like a lead up build up to the game
highlight where quin Years didn't look too pleased that he
lost that game in high school. But looking back on him,
let's see, he is a guy that is a absolute competitive,
hard nos gritty little player, and it's something that you
have to be aware of his accuracy passing, but first
and foremost, you got to stop him from being able
to run the football. The kid runs a four to
sixty five. He's absolutely dynamic when running the football. Last
year he had on paper at four hundred and sixty
three rushing yards on one hundred and nineteen attempts, But
if you take out the sack yardage, he had six
hundred and twenty yards rushing on ninety six actual run attempts.
So if you're counting, that's like almost six and a
half yards per every time he touched the ball. And
that's and that's calculating quarterback sneaks in there, that's calculating
a lot of things. So he's making explosive plays with
his feet, and so for that, you have to have
very consistent, detailed defensive line play. You have to have
good linebacker play, you have to have good inside safety play.
Speaker 2: Passing yards last year.
Speaker 4: Three thy six and thirty nine yards, sixty three point
four completion percentage, thirty six touchdowns, and one of the
more impressive stats that he had last year only six picks.
Now this comes a little caveat he should have had more.
He there was some dropped interceptions. There were some plays
that DB's didn't make on the ball. He'm not going
to say he's like the most he's the best reader
of defenses I've ever seen, but we'll get to that
in just a second. So total three hundred and eight completions,
four hunder and eighty six attempts. Last year, their team
record they were ten to four, his career record as
a starter in nineteen to nine. But one of the
bigger things for him this year is he's returning his
top three targets from last year. He loses a tight end,
but his top three Tony Williams, Bryant Westco, TJ.
Speaker 2: Moore, each of the let's see.
Speaker 4: Antonio Williams had nine hundred four yards receiving eleven touchdowns
last year, Bryan Westco Seven hundred and eight yards, five tds, TJ.
Moore six hundred and fifty one yards and five touchdowns.
So you talk about LSU's also bringing back a lot
of people, an experienced quarterback, experience, wide receivers explosiveness. So
does Clemson. So they're going to match up pretty well
with us from the on the offensive side of the ball.
So that is one thing to look at is they
have a lot of experience in their passing game. Their
losses last year, they lost the UGA and the opener
thirty four to three. Louisville at home they lost thirty
three to twenty one. They lost the South Carolina last
game of the regular season seventeen fourteen, and of course
they lost that rematch to Clint you Wers thirty eight
twenty four. When I look at him and I try
to diagnose him as a quarterback, I see a guy
that is very competitive.
Speaker 2: Creates a lot.
Speaker 4: Of issues, matchup issues because he has that ability to
run and he's not afraid to take hit either. He's
not a guy that's going to get out there take
a slide. They are running him on a lot of
quarterback quarterback powers, quarterback counters. They're not afraid to call
his number and let him run through the B and
C gap. They so they they it's a challenge for
defensive corners. But when I look at him as a
straight passer, the guy's extremely accurate. So if he throws
the ball on time, if he knows where he's going,
he doesn't miss his target. He's hitting the window of
where he wants to throw it. The problem the knock
I have on him is is he's not well. He's
a very good quarterback, but he's very unpolished as a passer,
so his footwork is not dialed in to his offensive
to the plays that they're running. So what I mean
by that is, if you're in the gun and you
have a three step drop, there's lots of plays that
are a three So if you do a three step
drop in the gun, it's equivalent to a five step
drop from a timing perspective, a five step drop underneath center.
Speaker 2: So I would say probably.
Speaker 4: Seventy sixty to seventy percent of past plays that an
offense has is that five step under center, timing three
step under center, or a three step in the gun. However,
depending on what play it is, there's no three step
out of gun dropback that is built the same. There's
different timing if you're running a snack rout, if you're
running a smasherroute, if you're running a all go or
all vertical type like, there's different timing to every three
step drop, and you have to be ready. When I
watch him, and the problem I had, and the only
negative part of his game that I saw was his
footwork was very unpolished. His timing was off on a
lot of routes. Guys were open and he wasn't He
wasn't ready to throw the ball because his footwork wasn't
there yet, or he got his footwork ready too early
and he was already on his second hitch up into
the pocket when the play was just develop into where
he needed a throw. So that is the one kind
of knock that I had on him. And you see
it time and time again, and you see like, because
he's talented and accurate, he overcomes it. And in the
college game he overcomes it. That will not translate to
the NFL the next level unless he cleans it up.
But there's nothing in his game that tells me he
wouldn't be able to clean it up. He's got all
the skills and all the all the intangible things that
you want, Like you can you can bring the pressure
and he's gonna sit there and he's gonna take a
shot under the chin and deliver a ball. Yeah that's
just what he does. But AI, yeah, for sure. But
you go and watch the South Carolina. He missed a
lot of reads in the South Carolina game. He pre
snap reads weren't great, So I'm not gonna say that
he is the best right now from a pre snap
read perspective or a post snap read perspective. I watched
a couple of games early on in the year. I
think the first game they played was against Akron, I believe,
and I think, I mean, his stats were GOTTI for
the season, but he had like seven or eight total
touchdowns in Akron the first game or maybe the second
game of the season, real early on.
Speaker 2: I got the a right, nailed that.
Speaker 4: But even in that game, and like, he doesn't read
safeties well, he doesn't read the angles that they're taking,
he doesn't read the body language that they have that
there's multiple passes that could have been either batted down
or intercepted with good safety play that ended up going
for touchdowns.
Speaker 2: And you see that a lot. You have to have
good fortune in all sports.
Speaker 4: But when we're talking about a potential first rounder, a
potential Heisman candidate, those are the things that I look
for in a quarterback. Okay, you made the throw and
it was a seventy yard touchdown, But for one, should
you have made the throw?
Speaker 2: Should it have been intercepted?
Speaker 4: Should like, did the defense miss an opportunity there that
just ended up being on Cade's highlight film, And I
did see that a lot. Now you're going to see
that in college football, and I'd say everything with a
grain of salt because I know I haven't watched game
film and broke down a quarterback like that in detail
in a long time, especially in college. So I'm kind
of like looking at this from an NFL perspective, knowing
that this kid is young, knowing that he's got a
lot of room to grow. But uh, but yeah, extremely talented.
If he can if he cleans up his footwork and
he works his timing progressions better in what they're doing offensively,
he is going to be deadly, deadly and will be
towards the top of a Heisman ballot just because of
because of the talent.
Speaker 2: Like I said, he does not miss. He's very very accurate. Oh.
Speaker 3: One of the things looking at his passing map that
that did stand out he does have a lot of
incompletions outside of the numbers, like on the sidelines, but
he has a ton of completions on the middle portion
of the football field, which in college is typically the opposite,
like you complete everything on the outside and you struggle
in the middle.
Speaker 4: And that's what kind of the games that I watched
that when he was playing poor, their offense was more
focused on outside of the hashes concepts.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now, the games that he did really well in, he
was attacking the middle, and I always say the fastest
way to the end zone is over the middle. Of course,
a go route down down the side looks beautiful, but
it's a low percentage throw. Over the middle is more
of high percentage throws. And if you can negotiate linebacker safeties,
the line of scrimmage, finding finding GAP's viewpoint to get
the ball through to see, then over the middle is
the fastest way to the end zone and you're right
to pass them out. But when they were not successful
was when they were running a lot of outside the
hash concepts, two receiver concepts. It just wasn't getting through
his progressions quite as well. So that's what I saw.
And then reading body language and safety. So the key
to stopping kde club ning is going to be defensive
line being very disciplined, stay gap sound, stay gap ready.
And when they stopped him, when teams stopped him running,
they were I can't remember the name the defensive lineman,
a defensive ends call it the coaches call it where
they rush and they never get past them. So they
rushed to the quarterbacks level. But no further. You know,
traditionally against the pocket passers, they're going to rush the
DEFENSEI gun is gonna swipe, he's gonna come around, he's
going to try to come over the back arm of
the quarterback. But when you have a quarterback that's a
dual threat guy like this, you never rush past the
parallel the yard line he's on because you know he's
going to try to step up. And then if you're
all kind of on the same level, you can close
those gaps.
Speaker 3: Then it changes. It changes kind of your mentality when
you're rushing too, you can't be as aggressive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. You want to see if we can
do this? You sure, all right, we're going to see.
This is a first thing. We didn't even practice this.
We're going to see if we can play. So I
got a couple of clips. I want to show you
a little bit of what I'm talking about. On a
bad decision. So this is against SMU. Okay, this is
the end of the game. So this is for the
A SEC championship, isn't it. We're gonna troubleshoot this.
Speaker 2: No, this is it.
Speaker 3: Sorry it was he showed me that play the other day.
Speaker 2: All right, So.
Speaker 5: Well, says acc championship on the thing.
Speaker 4: To make sure this was the right player, right, all right.
So this is third and seven on their own territory.
They're up thirty one to twenty four. Okay, so we
call this as four minutes left in the game. For
four minutes eleven seconds, I'm like, this is what we
call a four minute situation. Number one job of the quarterback.
Take care of the ball. Okay, so if you get
a first down, you can run clock off.
Speaker 2: Game is over.
Speaker 4: So number one job of the quarterback, make a good decision,
take care of the football. So this is what I'm
talking about, his footwork being undisciplined a little bit and
making a poor decision, reading safeties incorrectly. So what you
got third and seven. They rang the ball the first down.
Second down, My guy's gonna take a three step drop
right here, and he's going to escape the pocket too soon.
His footwork doesn't even get set and he's going to
be escaping the pocket to the right. This play does
not call for that he wants that you want to
set up and read it. If he just takes a
normal three step drop, he's got the outside receiver a
little delayed under out boom, first down, keep going. But
he takes off running before his feet are set because
he knows it's a big part of the games.
Speaker 2: Third and seven.
Speaker 4: I feel really comfortable outside of the pocket running And
what does he do next? He does that makes a
bad decision.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 4: Last thing you want to do is a quarterback. So
it laid over the middle. A SEC championship should have
thrown an interception right there, laid over the middle.
Speaker 3: The entire sideline.
Speaker 2: So again they are up by seven point. Here go back.
Speaker 4: We're gonna watch the in zone, so the same play
end zone copy. You can kind of see the bad
throwing decision based on this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you also see him like we were talking about earlier,
like he's leaving late pocket.
Speaker 2: Leaving the pocket.
Speaker 4: It's clean, no reason to bad decision should have been picked.
Speaker 3: And you're right if he hits the end route on
the outside of timing, yeap, that guy didn't. He didn't
even take a hit either, like you might think. All
that linebacker's pushing to him, but he catches that and
gets upfield.
Speaker 4: I mean that's a that's a very basic play. It's
a very high percentage throw, especially against a little delayed
you'd call a slant under whatever it is. But big
time situation, in a big time game, you kind of
revert back. If you're not disciplined, you kind of revert
back to your comfortability. His comfortability is rolling out to
his right, and that always is for a writing is
going to be rolling out right.
Speaker 2: So you saw it come to play there.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get it in the right.
Speaker 6: I feel like I learned so done. I learned about
the four minute Yeah, four four minute offense.
Speaker 5: It means you want to more minutes left in the game,
or for any four minutes, four minutes in the quarter.
Speaker 2: The term kind of like a two minute offense.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, it's yeah, anytime under two minutes, whether it's
a minute left, So four minute is called under five
minutes left in the game.
Speaker 2: You have the ball with the lead.
Speaker 3: When running backs thrive, you're trying to close the game.
Speaker 2: Right, Fullbacks really come to shine at that point.
Speaker 4: So it's one of the situations and that's that's when
you see offensive coordinators sometimes will make the gamble like
I'm going to do a boot leg, I'm gonna do
a play action on first or second down because they're
not expecting it, so you're trying to run. And the
goal of a four minute offense get two first downs
and you win the game. Two first downs, you win
the game. That is the goal. You can get one
one first down, great if you get none. But the
last thing you can do is as a quarterback, throw
a ball away or throw an interception. That is the
last thing you can do. And he did made a
couple of really bad to says. That shows me that
he wasn't comfortable either with the play call, play design
or sitting in the pocket a clean pocket and making
it outside the hash read.
Speaker 6: So he didn't trust his receivers.
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't think he trusted it himself to the play.
He trusted himself more to do the thing he was
comfortable with, which is fine because he does that great.
And I'm not knocking the kid for anything because again
I'm looking at this from like an NFL perspective. Yeah,
because he is a dynamic player and he can absolute you,
absolutely beat you by himself if you give him the opportunity,
the key to victory with him great safety play and
really discipline linebacker nickel play. But you say, if your
safeties have a bad day, he will he will throw
for three hundred and fifty yards and run for eighty.
Speaker 3: And what's one of the positions that we're unsure of?
The safety position position? Right? You? You brought in some
talented players, you got some young players that you're expecting
to take a next step. But it's going to be
tested in this game. Oof, let's go, It's gonna be tested. Excited,
So well done, Well done there, Matthew. All right, when
we come back, we will start our process of the
SEC quarterback tier list. We'll do it right here on OTV,
off the bench, all right, go to you. Repelican roof
dot com. Pelican roof dot com is the website for you,
probably guess Repelican roofing. And once you get to the website,

on the website. Also, one of the things we've been
telling you about over the last couple of weeks. They're
financing options and they're right there, Matt.
Speaker 2: On the homepage. Yeah, I actually guess when you said it.
Speaker 4: When we started this, I went to pelicanroof dot com
and everything popped up right there from their service areas
about their projects they've done at gallery, everything that they
do and can do for you, Like Jake said, zero
percent financing for qualified buyers, pelicanroof dot Com. Pelicanroof dot com.
Speaker 1: Blocked in on LSU Football twenty four to seven.
Speaker 8: You're listening to off the Bench, all right, welcome back.
Speaker 3: In one O four five ESPN Ben Rouge and now
we're gonna start putting these quarterbacks into tiers from the
sec Have we have we settled on like Elite good
steady and oh boy does that feel good?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like how many should we put Elite great steady? Oh boy?
Speaker 2: You have you have four per per tier sixteen teams many.
Speaker 4: For the sec Oh boy, might be a little extreme
because I don't know if there's any you.
Speaker 3: Said you liked, O boy. I mean, I love the
I love all right? What should we do?
Speaker 7: How about how about how about like in progress?
Speaker 2: Ye, it's complicated, It's complicated.
Speaker 6: It's complicated.
Speaker 2: Is great? I love that complicated?
Speaker 7: Or like unknown, that's commodity complicated unknown, or it's complicated,
look something like that.
Speaker 3: Let's go complicated.
Speaker 6: That's right there, steady, steady.
Speaker 2: All right, standard, We're going.
Speaker 3: Elite, great, steady, and it's complicated like that, all right,
So I'm gonna go down the list. It's gonna it's
gonna last a couple of segments here, but let's go
ahead and get it started. We'll go in screw it.
We don't have to go in any certain order. Alabama,
Ty Simpson.
Speaker 2: It's complicated.
Speaker 3: It's I think it's complicated. He is not, really, He's
been there for a long time. I appreciate him staying
there and not taking his ball and going home.
Speaker 4: Nobody appreciates that more then this show does. So we
appreciate the hell out of him.
Speaker 7: It's just, you know, when you look at it like
now struggled atoms to throw the ball.
Speaker 2: He was able to rely on his athleticism. He doesn't
have that.
Speaker 7: Outside of Ryan Williams, he still don't have a ton
of weapons on the outside like them look great, Yeah,
all right, super complicated.
Speaker 3: All right, good. Let's go to the Auburn Tigers. Now
Jackson Arnold coming over from Oklahoma is going to be
their starting quarterback.
Speaker 7: I'm still gonna say it's complicated for them, like he's
in a new system. Hugh Freeze has not been what
they thought he was going to be so far at Auburn.
Like he's got Cam Coleman and Eric Singleton, great weapons
on the outside. Their running game, probably gonna take a
little bit of a step back, like I'd put him
on the edge steady, or it's complicated like he's he's
he's right there for me, I go either way.
Speaker 5: Is it complicated part of the one that you said
earlier where it's like still to.
Speaker 3: See or something, then yeah, I'm gonna say I'm gonna
says complicated.
Speaker 2: There were all three there. Yeah, yeah, I mean he was.
It's simply complicated anywhere.
Speaker 3: He's at Oklahoma last year for him and for his
receiver room, but he got replaced at one point.
Speaker 2: He didn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anybody in the transfer like in a new situation,
it's gonna be tough to really rank them, so we
can rank them on what they did. And like you said,
he did get benched. He uh, Oklahoma won two games
in the SEC. So it's like coming off. But it's
complicated with him the way and he freezes kind of
worried about playing golf and winning trophies.
Speaker 2: Right now, that's the thing, right, Hugh freezes. Hugh freezes
on that hot seat.
Speaker 7: We've seen it with Auburn and like just because he
starts game one, you brought in Ashton Daniels, who was
his starter at Stanford. You got a five star Induce Knight,
who's a true freshman. Like, I don't know if Jackson
Arnold makes it through the season.
Speaker 2: Y'lse uh.
Speaker 4: Got Lane Kiffin trolling him a little bit. Great trophy,
it looks like the golf games on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: With a post with the trip gonna miss a shot.
Gary Myer elite.
Speaker 2: I mean he's at the top. It is so not complicated.
Speaker 3: Austin Simmons Old, Miss, I'm gonna say I'm gonna say steady, Yes,
I'm going to kiffing with a quarterback. And we did
see him in the reigning as Georgia.
Speaker 2: He's got some weapons coming back the lane Kiffing offense.
He was good against Georgia. Yeah, Steady, Steady.
Speaker 4: I want to say steady too, but it's gonna get
boring if I keep saying the same thing. Y'all are
put him in elite? What's the next one under elite?
Speaker 2: A great? We're gonna go great, all right, lad.
Speaker 4: Just the sake of being a little different right now,
because I didn't want I don't want to be like
the car Brothers.
Speaker 2: I know, right, that's.
Speaker 3: Guys. I was listen. I was leaning probably more were
great than I will was anything else with him, because
that you know, he's talented and he's going with Lane Kevin,
and we we have seen it against the top tier defense.
I got no problem putting in great.
Speaker 2: Let's put him.
Speaker 3: I would still got a table that one. Let's go.
Speaker 2: We're making predictions.
Speaker 3: In Mississippi State quarterback Blake shape and feels really steady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, study he's a good player.
Speaker 3: It was like Steady went to great high school from
a great city. Blake shaping.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going as complicated with him just because he
went to.
Speaker 7: Okay, it's funny last year before he got that injury,
eight touchdowns, one pick, like.
Speaker 3: He was good.
Speaker 2: He was good for Steady. You know what, Steady, let's
get one more.
Speaker 3: I mean he just feels he feels safe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he really does, because, like Taylor said before the injury,
like he was off to a hot start.
Speaker 3: So let's see if we get one more in Texas
A and M quarterback Marcel Reeve.
Speaker 5: So I think that one's a little complicated because yes,
he ran all over Texas or LS but I was
about to say Texas and over LSU.
Speaker 6: But after that, after we saw him, it was kind
of like hit or miss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very mid steady with the potential to be great.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put him in steady even though I agree
a lot with the laundr here. I think now that
it's his team, like it's no longer like he's but
I don't have him. I don't have him anywhere near great.
I got him closer to It's complicated than study, you know.
Speaker 1: Is.
Speaker 2: A great change up.
Speaker 4: We saw it against LSU as a full time starter
with teams having a full year of film and to
prepare the kid better make a lot of jumps in
a lot of areas that he's not great at, right,
And we just hadn't seen that yet, the ability to
do that. So I'm gonna put he like, to me,
it's not even steady. It's either great or it's complicated.
He's gonna be really bad or he's gonna be really good,
I think. So I'm gonna put him in as complicated. Yeah,
because I don't nothing has shown me that he can
make that jump. And I give SEC defensive coordinators and
coaches one more year to prepare for a full time starter.
He's got that ability, that that X factor that allows
him to do some special things. But I'm gonna keep it.
I'm gonna say he's not gonna do it. I'm gonna
say he gets shut down for most of you.
