Speaker 1: All Star Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's go from a championship backfield to your morning drive.
Speaker 3: Hem'sday, Hester and Hester got it, fata FA.
Speaker 1: You're locked in to Off the Bench control the Live
from the Raising Kine Studio. Here's Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: You welcome in o TV here on this Thursday morning.
Jake Flynn alonga data all here with you live.
Speaker 2: From the Raising Kine Studio Thursday. Huh that it is
basically the weekend. Guess what? Uh what it was in
the car last night after dinner?
Speaker 5: Did you wake up sad like I did yesterday?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Okay, well yeah it was pretty early. I was kind
of off bingals down eleven. Caught the uh I believe
it was on ESPN Radio. Caught the last two minutes
of the Pelicans.
Speaker 5: Go block up.
Speaker 2: If you did, you were excited. I was pumped up.
I'm a fan. Is that what you do? Fluck up?
Is that a real thing? Or is that that it is?
Which is awesome?
Speaker 4: But like Chris Anderson the bird Man when he played
for the Pels it was the Hornets.
Speaker 2: Then he's like nice bluck up. I don't know, I
like it ish, I like Winds two in a row,
big deal. Don't let the kids get hot. Uh so
you're in now? Oh yeah, Cooper Flag, sorry you take home?
Speaker 6: And now oh they beat your Maverige.
Speaker 7: That they did, he's now these Pels Now what a bandwagoner?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's Pels. Well, because I tried.
Speaker 6: To get you to come to the Spurs.
Speaker 4: Danny and t Bob like force me to like the Pelicans.
They said I couldn't like the Knicks anymore. And I'm like,
I'll be a team guy. I'll get behind this and
then Nick, I'm not really good. I don't care enough
hell pells, but here we are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care enough about basketball anymore to like,
you know, try to be loyal to the Mavericks. So
let's go fluck up. Okay, I still feel like I
feel still feel like kind of dirty when I say
flock up. For some reason, it's really close, you know,
not really, I mean, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4: You did say all store toilet for about a month,
so maybe you will have a slip up.
Speaker 3: Gordon McCarney, He did have that Ordon McCarney side the
blender it.
Speaker 2: Let's ticket prices just went up though in a.
Speaker 8: Row they did with the Matt Flinn endorsement.
Speaker 4: And also also you know who they have coming up Saturday,
doesn't matter, Spurs on.
Speaker 6: The road in San Antone.
Speaker 2: So does this happened every year? Ever? There's just better
without Zion? Yes, okay, well they played.
Speaker 8: Most of their games without Zion's sure, they're not great.
Speaker 2: But they're better.
Speaker 4: Can we certainly didn't have us starting the show here,
but here we are, there we go. I don't think
Zion's like trying to miss these games. I bet I
have been with teammates that signed big deals. We talked
about it a couple of years ago when it happened,
signed big deals and they never got back on the field,
and doctors like, I don't know what's wrong with the guy.
Speaker 2: I don't even see anything.
Speaker 4: And they signed a big deal and they're like, I'm good,
I'm just gonna ride off into the sunset take they
guaranteed money signing bonus and football, you know, guaranteed money
is kind of a thing that doesn't exist.
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's that. I don't think it's that.
Speaker 4: But also, how do you not stay healthy for any
extended period of time.
Speaker 2: It's hard to do.
Speaker 4: And I know he's twitchy, and I know he's like
everybody said, well, he's almost like too athletic for his
body type. His gate's bad, and I'm like, he's a
like multi million dollar individual.
Speaker 2: He can't figure out his gait in the off season.
Speaker 4: He can't figure out some things to help out his
training regimen to be able to shore up some things.
Speaker 2: Are he saying no, if we can't, we can't. I
don't know. Is he not practice hard enough like first
half of the Lcie Tigers this year. I mean it
feels like he was skinny skinny's eyeon. Is most of
us like soft tissue too?
Speaker 6: It was a hammy this year?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean almost all.
Speaker 2: Of it is. M Yeah. I don't buy the whole
too athletic for your body type deal.
Speaker 6: You don't think that's what it is.
Speaker 2: He's got a new body this year, he's got a
train harder, not training game speed. Maybe i've actually, you
know's defense, I've never seen him train callous yourself a
little bit, if you yourself those hammies well, or maybe
just like maybe not go so hard in the paint.
I don't know if that's it. Lebron walks around, doesn't
he don't basketball players do that. They do a lot
of walking around until it's time to go. Yeah, time
for that layup? Sure, basketball guy.
Speaker 5: They finally start playing Derek Queen. That's turned out well.
Speaker 7: The thing for the Pelicans. Look, however, many games win
or lose. Look like they've hit on both of their
both of their early pigs. Jeremiah Fears looks great. Derek
Queen's coming along, Like you've actually done a really good
job in the draft.
Speaker 8: We're begging the Saints to hit on first.
Speaker 4: Rump picks, second round, third round, fourth round, so on
and so forth.
Speaker 6: Just in the draft.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just hit.
Speaker 6: Everybody wanted Willy Green fire two days ago.
Speaker 2: Look at you two game win streak.
Speaker 6: Don't let him get hot. He heard the talk. He's
like NBA is billionapier that.
Speaker 8: That's a big Willy Green fall.
Speaker 2: I mean, he'll be the great Marshaldoon Dimmian this right.
Speaker 5: Uh, Matt wants to get Willy on the show.
Speaker 2: Why not? Why not?
Speaker 7: I told you, Look how early they are in the season.
They've already doubled the Saints wind total exactly. That's crazy,
way better than the Saints.
Speaker 6: Shout out the pearls lock up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to play your guys that you got
to see what you got.
Speaker 4: If I hear you have to see what you've got
one more time, it's professional God, go see what you
got you got to it's pro football.
Speaker 5: They don't practice how they do They saw what they had.
Speaker 2: Oh, they actually are on the field every single day
for two to three hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got you, passes, spark I'm gonna start yelling
at let's called shuck Sparky.
Speaker 6: Yeah that feels disrespectful.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I don't mean it at him, just the
people that say that. All right, all right, I don't
even know.
Speaker 4: We're not talking about the Pelicans and the Saints in
the same segment.
Speaker 3: How I love how you thought there was gonna be
a spark to an offense where nothing else but the
quarterback change.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the quarterback he took out. It wasn't perfect
by any means, but he could create some things on
his own.
Speaker 2: He took that out. Yeah. Yeah, spark ain't gonna work.
Sparks don't work when you're trying to light wet wood.
Speaker 4: Matter.
Speaker 6: We got the Mary.
Speaker 8: Missing the bigger picture. It's at the time this weekend.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. He's gonna have a big role.
Speaker 5: He's got thirty seven yards receiving.
Speaker 2: On the season. He's got xavierly gets stats.
Speaker 8: Right now, kids, The Road to one K.
Speaker 2: Starts this week.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this week to one hundred. Tell me what we're
halfway this season?
Speaker 2: Thirty seven, two hundred. That's right.
Speaker 6: I think I added an extra zero to your prediction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not me. Two hundreds.
Speaker 4: Great, we'll keep a vet here in studio. Road to
one hundred thirty seven yards. That's good.
Speaker 6: Actually, Xavier Leget.
Speaker 2: Has twenty so, oh he's got more than twenty.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe I'm look at the wrong I think he's
got one hundred and he's like one fifty.
Speaker 6: Oh wait, I'm looking at that, my bad one.
Speaker 4: So he's already as no, don't put that about the
wrong thing.
Speaker 7: Let's see he's about to pop off and look at
the defense. He only has twenty catches.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I was twenty catches.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're counting, but it's a little
bit over nine yards of catch right there.
Speaker 4: Oh, you traded the same thing that Seattle traded for
Shia fourth round.
Speaker 2: There you, yeah, but they got to re sign him.
Speaker 4: True, true, Well, here we are talking about the Pails
and the Saints, and the Saints in the opening segment.
Speaker 2: An electric you gotta laugh through the pain people. Yeah. Hey,
I wasn't even a fan of either team, but for
I got on this radio show. So I blame this
radio show. It's not really anything the show can do
about it. Where relocated. Yeah, it's true. I couldn't. I
didn't even like the Saints. You didn't even like the Pelicans.
But now I'm a fan of both.
Speaker 5: All right, God bless and got speed.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you that it hadn't been great. M hm.
Speaker 7: You haven't enjoyed your early fan I have not enjoyed
it yet early returns.
Speaker 2: But thanks a lot for that, guys. It used to
be a fan of winners.
Speaker 6: LSU basketball beat Charlton State last.
Speaker 2: Night, Texas.
Speaker 4: Also it is they did look good third, I think
third best shooting percentage in like history.
Speaker 8: Yes, seventy point look good.
Speaker 4: Dish the ball around, leave over twenty five assists in
the game.
Speaker 7: If you give d Dam Thomas shooters on the outside,
he can make some things happen for you.
Speaker 2: Yesterday we were talking about the game. We were talking
about the Tarleton State's mascot being the Texas Riders, which
just like a weird way to say a cowboy, I think.
And right after we were talking about that, I was
looking at the logo and I was seeing like a cowboy,
and y'all kept talking about shooters. All right, I'm an idiot,
but you kept talking about shooters and I was like, cowboys,
That's all I could think about.
Speaker 8: That's actually what they do.
Speaker 2: When I was watching the game a little bit last night,
I was at dinner watching the game up on the
on the screen, and that's all I can think about
was pewope, pew dev our boy holdomatoes.
Speaker 4: In the chat said un O beating TCU first game
out was strong as garlic.
Speaker 2: We talked we sitting on the air because Masterpiece of GM,
yeah he was the only the only team in Louisiana.
I think that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a shoutout master p which I think
they are maybe going to be a part of.
Speaker 2: The l s U.
Speaker 6: That's what they say.
Speaker 2: System again, which I saw that.
Speaker 5: But you know what, who knows what's real?
Speaker 2: What do you mean chancellors just thought I thought everything
was done.
Speaker 8: We just needed a coach.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll come back. Turns out we'll get that show started.
Speaker 4: This show started, and we'll try to figure that out
today right here on O TV, off the bench, all right, today, tomorrow,
this weekend, any day, anytime is a great time to
go for dose. So if you've got a watch party
for L s U and Alabama, make sure that you've

whether you're grilling outside or watching from the couch, crack
open that ice cold Doseki's lagger and raise one to

Speaker 4: But good jo I mean everything goes a few seasons
too long for the most part of that is just right.
Speaker 2: Well, you find like a good show or a good movie,
and yeah, so what and maybe it lost its fastball,
but it's still getting people out. Yeah. It's like, you know,
Rocky five, all right, not great, but still better than
No Rocky. It's fair. You could have no Rocky. You
could have no Rocky. Yeah, or you could have a
bad Rocky. I choose a bad.
Speaker 6: Same about the Fast and Furious.
Speaker 2: Well series or Jake does Yeah, hell yeah. I don't
even think I've seen the complete first one. So it's
one of the chats said, man, y'all hate a real
topic in the first segment, day but what are you
talking about?
Speaker 7: Pelicans one basketball, Pelicans and the Saints. Yeah, none of
those teams are real. Yeah, good luck.
Speaker 2: Other radio show is trying to hit that many real
topics in one segment. Oh my, he was I know,
I know he put a haha on it.
Speaker 4: But if you ever come here thinking and be like
immediately Lasu's president interim.
Speaker 2: Tag, is it foold? Is it not? Not gonna be

Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 4: Yesterday we talked about the new athletic director for LSU Athletics,
for Joshbury. Somebody we know, somebody we've known for a
long time, good friend of ours, and let's move forward.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 4: Got a president, got alignment is happy. But as Lee
Corso would say, not so fast, my friend.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you guys thought we were alive, you thought we
were moving forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fools, I mean, why would we do that?
Speaker 5: He says in the Bible, don't say fools.
Speaker 8: Why would we do that?
Speaker 7: Why would we Why would we do something smoothly and
in the correct order? Why would we go l s
U A d coach that that makes no sense at all?
Speaker 2: Ready? So yeah, right right, aim ready, No.
Speaker 8: We're we're shooting first. We're not even ready for shoot.
Speaker 2: We're shooting first.
Speaker 7: So Piper Hutchinson interviewed Wade Ruth yesterday and was asked
about naming for Jawsberry's the athletic director because Wade Ruth said,
I am removing the interim tag. And he said, well,
I'll remove the interim tag and then we'll assess the situation.
I can't make a very good decision after being on
the job for eight hours. I would agree he he
didn't make a good decision because now he's backtracking everything.
Speaker 8: So I'll give him that.
Speaker 7: And he said, I don't know what permanent means versus
removing the interim I mean, I know what interim means. Yeah,
interim means temporary, and then when you remove the interim tag,
you're no longer temporary.
Speaker 8: That's just how I view it.
Speaker 7: I mean, could be wrong there, but he also went
on to say, when you're trying to hire a coach,
instability is not healthy. I kind of feel like Wade
rus is the one that has created this instability, kind
of going back and forth. So it doesn't sound like
Virgil Olsbury is the permanent athletic trim because if he
was going to be, he wouldn't have backtrack this comments.
Speaker 2: Let me let's let's start with how the news broke
and what manner did it break that the interim tag
was going to be removed in the first place. Because
they never made an actual announcement, correct, We just the
reports came out based on was it like a booster
meeting or something like that. People had a.
Speaker 7: Ceremony for him, and just at the ceremony he was like, oh,
I'm removing the interim tag.
Speaker 2: Okay, but that was the only thing that we knew, right,
and I guess it never confirmed nor denied. I guess
it was. I mean, it's a weird way to deny it. Yesterday.
What he said doesn't really make sense, right. I don't
know what the difference is between removing the tag and
a permanent U.
Speaker 7: He's a doctor, he smarter than me, But I mean
I know what interim means and what it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Sounds like you just kind of messed up an.
Speaker 6: Interview, yeah, or maybe spoke too soon.
Speaker 2: But who did he speak to?
Speaker 6: Getting again?
Speaker 3: I think it was like Taylor said that it was
at the ceremony. He just kind of said.
Speaker 7: It got all fired up and was liked, we could
remove the HUD, remove the internet.
Speaker 6: To be fair, like removing the interim tag. I guess it.
Speaker 3: If we're like getting real semantic about it, doesn't really
mean that he is the I mean, maybe acting versus
like the actual going to be the new hire A
d whatever.
Speaker 2: But so do we think that people reported it may
have overreacted to that to comment?
Speaker 4: Maybe, yeah, I believe it was Delhi that first had
it come on Delhi Ve Deli. It's the first person
that I saw and talked about the President making the
decision to elevate Verge Osberry's permanent full time athletic director.
And they said a formal announcement is expected in the
coming days. That was the original report. Now maybe that
was originally the intent. Wasn't there some rumors swirling around yesterday.
Do you think they tried to are trying to backtrack
on Verge?
Speaker 3: Well, Piper also asked him about the title nine stuff
with Verge, and Wade Ruth said that he wasn't familiar
with Verges Title nine stuff that happened back in twenty twenty,
So maybe he was told that and then started kind
of like.
Speaker 7: This whole thing is that's that might be the most
concerning part to me, you know, any of this.
Speaker 2: But he hasn't been on the job for very long, right,
I mean, if.
Speaker 8: You're twenty four you right, I mean, like it was
it was a big news.
Speaker 2: Shouldn't be this hard. No, I was there. I don't
really know about him. It should not be this hard
in fairness to just hire.
Speaker 4: A president, an athletic director, and a football coach, right,
I mean, I know typically you don't do it all
at the same time. But you've known you needed a
president for a very long time.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: The athletic director stuff, obviously, I don't think any of
us had that on the BINGO card. But you got
to hire a coach. I understand like that part of it.
But you've known you needed a president for a long time. Yeah,
you don't want to just maybe.
Speaker 2: You just didn't have a bad conversation about Hey, here's
here's our candidates, here's everything we got on them, here's
the profile. You got it. And look, maybe they're smarter
than all of us and they know exactly what they're doing.
They're playing chess. We're all playing reporting on checkers. But
it seems like they just didn't have a plan. They
had to make a snap decision on fire and Scott
before they were ready to fire Scott because of the
governor's comments. I left him no choice, right, even if
Scott was going to get fired eventually, at least maybe
not do it. Then let there be some stability while
you figure out a plan. Maybe let's I don't know,
it seems wild, maybe it's not wild. Maybe we're all overreacting.
But the optics. Optics are just messy. And it's every every.
Speaker 4: Time I have somebody me on off campus the last
however many days, first thing they say, I can ask him, Hey,
how you doing, what's going on? Thanks for coming on? Oh,
doing a whole lot better than you do, Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 4: That embarrass every single embarrass every single one of them.
I'm talking about ten for ten. Yeah, so it's being
talked about.
Speaker 2: What you say, what's your answer? Like, hopefully they get
it figured out.
Speaker 4: Your team, we got a committee, but like we're being
talked about as a joke right now.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean because of how this is all played out.
Speaker 2: The governor's involvement.
Speaker 3: Good to a point, like, yes, he appoints the board
of supervisors, but why are you so deep in this
that you're making headlines about it?
Speaker 6: It just it doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 3: I mean it does in a sense that he does
want to be in the headlines and he wants to
make noise, and he wants to be in the news
and be in national news and be talked about nationally.
Speaker 9: But it just you appointed this board of supervisors that
hired this president, or that appointed this president that is
now walking back comments about an athletic director that he
didn't know was involved in Title Nights.
Speaker 6: It's all very messy and it is kind of a joke.
Speaker 7: The instability quote he was instability is not healthy. I'm like, brother,
They're not more unstable than this right now.
Speaker 2: I know you've been on the job for like a
couple of days now, but maybe not. Maybe not go
find a microphone anytime soon. Maybe know what you're doing first.
I get it. Nobody knows what they're doing the first
couple of days in the job. I got it. It's fine,
you get a pass for that. Maybe you are uncertain
about everything. Maybe a rumor was falsely reported that the
interim tag was getting removed and Verge is going to
be the permanent again. Maybe that was falsely reported. Maybe not,
but like hmm, it's better to be thought a fool
than to speak up and remove all doubt, right type situation.
Maybe educate a little bit first. Yeah, as great as
this job is.
Speaker 4: We talked about it yesterday, universal almost everybody talked to
your top three. Even an LSU hater would say top five.
What is all this done to that? Like if you're
on the outside looking in and you're wait, hold up
what yep? So I've got to go win at this
kind of level, and then I also have to deal
with some situations that don't happen everywhere. And I've got
the whole governor situation. I mean, there's gonna be some
people that are gonna run away from that.
Speaker 2: And you know what's like to me, what the saddest
part about this whole thing is, and the most upsetting
part is, as you know, there's turmoil, there's confusion, it's
a mess, like the people making decisions don't really feel
like they know what they're doing. Maybe they do. I
hope they do. But the part to me is like
we're talking about that, but like the football portion of
this whole thing is probably healthier this week and it
has been in a long time. Like those that team
over there, that coaching staff that supports that are so
ready to go right, And Frank said it on the
show yesterday, I don't know what the result's going to
be on the scoreboard this weekend, but it's going to
be different, and like that is so much healthier than
what's happening above, Like people pulling the strings like that.
That's what I hope we kind of get past this
and they and everybody just shuts their mouth for a
little bit. Stop talking. Everybody stop talking. Yeah, let the
team go be the focal point right now. Let their
response to Brian Kelly being fired in a new regime change.
Let that speak for Louisiana. You stop speaking for Louisiana
right now. Just hump the brakes. Let the team go
do it, because that is healthy right now. That that
is good. That's something we need to be cheering instead
of being embarrassed about what people are talking about. That's
a good point. Sometimes you don't have to talk. Sometimes
you just do us exactly.
Speaker 6: Put the mic down and put it down and.
Speaker 4: The words of figure yes and figure it out before
you speak, have a plan before you speak, just say hey,
no comment at this time. We're working through our structure,
and we'll have a structure and at that time we'll
have an.
Speaker 2: Announcement and the words of Kunu and.
Speaker 4: Then behind the scenes, behind the scenes, if you're talking
to agents and coaches, you let them know what you're thinking,
love them, know what the deal is.
Speaker 2: You don't have to do it in.
Speaker 4: Front of everybody when you don't have an idea, what
your structure is going to be, what the plan is,
and where you want to live for the next.
Speaker 2: Couple of years. So it's just like anything in life, right,
Nobody really knows what they're doing in life until you
figure it out. Yeah, Oh, we don't tell anybody that.
Speaker 5: All right, We're gonna talk actual ball when we come back.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm kind of over government being involved and people
saying this, that and the other, and who's this role,
who's that role.
Speaker 5: We'll talk about what we do know football.
Speaker 4: Alabama LSU coming up this weekend, and we'll do it
right here on OTB off the bench, all right. Giggordon
dot Com, Gordon McKinnon injury attorneys right there on the website.
Speaker 5: Remember, you can have a chat with a live agent.
Speaker 4: You can check out cases they can handle for you
in the courtroom, past client results all right there on
the homepage. I forget about what they're doing in the

All right, Matthew, Hey buddy, start to watch a little
bit of your tape there breakdown of the Alabama am
a Crimson Tide.
Speaker 5: You have to say, quick report on what you see.
They're in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 2: I see a very good football team, you know if
I've I've texted the group a lot throughout the throughout
the season saying I don't like el like because I've
been watching film of you know, whether it's Vanderbilt or
whoever it is playing. I'm like, oh man, was good.
Now I've watched the last couple of games they played.
Of course they played, uh, they beat Tennessee. Then they
beat South Carolina in South Carolina. Uh, and it wasn't
kind of the runaway that we all kind of that
I thought it could be. So they really good team.
I don't think that anything that they do is necessarily great.
I think Ty Simpson's really good. I think he's gonna
be a Heisman finalist. He's just playing. He makes like
a couple of a handful of plays every every single
game that it's like, oh my god, that was a
great throw. Now they don't get guys open everywhere all
the time, so sometimes his stats aren't like so eye popping,
but he makes really he's really good in the pocket.
The good pocket presence, slides instead of scrambles a lot,
which is a really like a lot of times in
college people will go through their first couple of reads
and they try to get outside of the pocket before
he tries to move the pocket with a slide slidestep,
which creates some late development routes. And he's got those
good receivers on the outside. I think what we're really
going to see, the matchup that's going to make or
break this game is going to be on the outside
our corners versus their receivers. They have some really good ones.
And the way that LSU likes to play defense is
to be aggressive. We like to put Monsour on an
island by himself. I think we're gonna see some fireworks
of some matchups this weekend when some lose some I
don't know what's gonna happen, but their number one, their
number two versus Montour when they get lined up, because
you know, Blake Baker's gonna they're gonna man some people up.
This is one of those weeks you got rid of
a there's a there's an interim tag. This group's got
like nothing to lose right now, which makes you very dangerous.
But guess what you're gonna do. You're gonna take some
risks that you might not have if you have no
losses or one loss right now. So you're gonna see
some man deman matchups. And I'm really really excited. Like
when I watch and I'm and I'm and I'm watching
the game on Saturday and I see a loaded box
for LSU on defense, I'm gonna be watching the outside
because it's gonna be some fun matchups. Because you've got
you got you got future pros on both sides that
I think you're gonna see some Mandaman matchups and it's
gonna be fun to watch. But I look at their defense,
and their defense does everything really well. They don't do
any one particular thing great, and that's what I've kind
of seen all over, like offense and defense side of
the ball. They have some great receivers on offense, their
quarterback's great. But on defense, they just do everything very sound.
They're very well coached. They have some big defensive line.
They got number twenty three. I don't even know his name,
but I know I know Jamis Smith, so he is.
He's just he's a pillar in the inside. They got
some big boys that just can't be moved and they
do their job really well. They take up gap, they
have really good gap integrity, and they just make it
hard to get to the second level for running backs
right now. They wear out. There's some teams like Tennessee
started having a lot of like they couldn't run the
ball early, started having success running the ball in the
second half. You have to be committed to it. On
the secondary, they're all pretty they're good cover guys. They
got one one guy, number seven, who's a liability. So
if you see him on the field, Shawn Jones, Good
for you, dude, what you just know all these names?
The stone, random defensive. He's not even a starter. He
just comes in every now and then. But he's a liability.
So if you see number seven on the field, Jack
seven seven seven. Now, he's fast, he's got a good
straight line speed, but his speed get stuck in the
mud when you're breaking, so like any outbreak. And he
had a touchdown thrown on him against Tennessee where it
looked like Looney Tunes where he gets started and his
feet moved, but he's not going anywhere but exactly. But
he is fast straight line. Yeah, they just do everything well,
so they're gonna throw a lot of different coverages at you.
Against South Carolina, they played a lot more single hide
than they did against Tennessee because of Leonora Sellers just
put an extra guy in the box. But quarter quarter
halves a lot of straight cover two. I didn't see
a lot of just straight quarters, which I would love
to see as a quarterback, but a lot of quarter
quarter have against South Carolina, a lot of cover three.
Not a ton of man, but they will. They're kind
of like everybody that has a sound defense. They'll bring
Cover zero blitz, but it's probably less than seven or
eight percent of the time. That's just a guess, though.
You got the breakdown right now.
Speaker 4: Alabama plays cover zero nine point seven percent of the time.
There we go Cover one eleven point three percent of
the time, Cover two twenty four point eight percent of
the time, Cover three thirty nine point one percent, Quarters
only three point four percent. And then let's see quarter
quarter halves. It is eight of the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes their quarter quarter halves is tough to decipher,
like it.
Speaker 5: Looks like Cover three lumped into the three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is. But they do they play.
They play decent amount quarter quarter halves. They play quarter
quarter halves and whoever, if you haven't, if you're new
to the show, whatever quarter quarter haves is playing your
one side of the field, usually the strong side, the
strength of the formation, which is usually to the field,
is going to be quarters, where your corner's playing deep,
your safety is playing deep, and they each have one
quarter of the field deep. Then they'll play halves to
the backside of the weak side, usually to the boundary,
which is a corners playing like a cloud coverage where
she doesn't get deep and the safety plays over the
top heat the safety has the whole deep part of
the field there, so quarter quarter halves at least call
it cover six.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 2: Our cover eight is where it's cloud corner to the
field and quarters to the boundary. So just backwards reversed.
Speaker 4: People do the either addition or multiplication sometimes quarter quarter
a half.
Speaker 2: I don't know why, ye, I don't know AnyWho. That's
what they got.
Speaker 4: What about the aggressive nature of the Alabama defense? Did
you see anything where they're going to give you something
a little bit different look? I know, capwell Ma's done
that in the past, but I.
Speaker 2: Had not a ton much. I hadn't seen a lot
of creative looks. They'll do some double A gap mugs
where two linebackers in the A gaps. You got two
wide three techniques on the defensive line front, which does
create some protection issues, but not a lot of creative
blitz us off of that. It's either they both come
or they both drop. But no, not a ton of
creative stuff that I saw, Just good sound defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, five man pressure forty seven point eight percent of
the time, only bring six eight point nine percent of
the time. So even if they bring somebody, it's just
bringing five yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I I'm trying to like I've been well,
I've watched these games a couple of times now, just
trying to figure out like, oh, it would be a
good clip to show on the like to show on
the show. And there's really nothing that sticks out because
they don't do anything that's real like like I said,
that's real special, just real sound defense. You have to
be really disciplined because they're not gonna you're not gonna
see guys just wide open. But you're gonna have opportunities
throughout the game to go through your progressions, to go
through your reads. Be creative. South Carolina hit some nice
screen routes on them, like big explosive like forty fifty
yard gains on some screen routes. A couple of checkdowns.
Oh don't let LSU see that. No, they weren't wide
receiver screens. Tennessee tried to do that about ten times
in the game. We're probably a total of I don't know,
eleven yards. Yeah maybe, but they got that completion percentage up.
Oh no, one yard screens please. Tennessee's offense is very
similar to Issu's offense. And that's not like a praise. No,
they live outside the hashes. They live outside the hashes
a lot. They do more inside the ashes. Doesn't take
much to do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got two if you have two plays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm lucky. Yeah. The mc gump in the
chat says, Ben don't break defense. Yeah kinda, but like, yeah,
I guess it is a Ben don't break defense. I
usually look at that as teams that play like big
shell over the top, let you get a lot of
like they'll still press on the outside and make you
try to hit them, hit them deep. Usually to me
when I think of Ben don't But it's like the
old Chicago Bears when we went ten years ago with
Brian Urlaka, they played cover two like ninety of the snaps. Yeah,
and they played shell, so they never let you throw deep.
You always had to keep taking checkdowns. Now people are
trying to trying to hit them deep because they but
you know, Tennessee and South College just didn't have a
lot of sense. Suff was taking a checkdown. It's hard
to go broke when you're making a profit. Yeah, I guess, no,
it's checkdowns. What it is.
Speaker 4: To your point of Ben don't break six of Alabama's
defenders PFF grades are between seventy three and seventy six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like solid, super solid. Yeah there, there wasn't like
besides number seven, I didn't see like a real weakness.
They have a really good, a nice rotation to A
sixty seven. Because they're on offense. It's like ezy easy alright.
Speaker 4: Alright, alright, flavor flave. We'll be back for flavor flave
