Speaker 6: I looked over there. I hadn't really looked at it.

30
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,519
Old boy forgot the old SPF.

00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,439
Speaker 7: Uh.

34
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:10,199
Speaker 1: I did a flag football event at same Santamal over

35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,639
the weekend.

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,159
Speaker 6: Whoa, whoa?

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,439
Speaker 4: You did an event that could be coaching, playing broadcasting.

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,159
Speaker 1: No, I just kind of like hosted the event. Yeah okay,

39
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:22,719
and it was outside for like six hours.

40
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:25,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, not a ton of shade. So it just it happened.

41
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:28,400
Oh yeah, I got a very important question about this sunburn.

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,240
What's your question? Do you tan or do you just

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,960
get burns peeled and go right back?

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,479
Speaker 2: So I actually believe it or not actually tan?

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,599
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, for the most part, I'd burn easily,

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,680
but it kind of it does switch.

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,719
Speaker 6: Does bronze a little bit?

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: Yeah a little bit.

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean most people would think, like, you know, like

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,240
I'm normally fair complexted hare that I don't.

51
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, I do a little bit.

52
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: All right, Good for you, man, for you. Sure you're

53
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:54,560
not the only one that was outside. I'm sure Moose

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,280
was in the box.

55
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,039
Speaker 7: I'm going to assume yeah, yeah, maybe yeah, three days

56
00:02:58,039 --> 00:02:59,120
in a row, Yeah for sure.

57
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 5: Absolutely you for tonight we'll see boys feeling comes six o'clock.

58
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:07,719
Speaker 6: Okay, along when here? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have double

59
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:09,960
duty today. Were you in the box the whole time?

60
00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:11,719
Speaker 9: Or did you get like a game where you're above

61
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:14,599
to dugout slam of some beers anything like that?

62
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 6: Nothing?

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, I mean I I had a few

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,599
beers Friday and Saturday.

65
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: A few beers, a couple, a couple of good pops.

66
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:27,360
Most you've had the same seats forever, right, Yeah?

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 5: My family, they've had their tickets since ninety.

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,039
Speaker 6: Three, That's what I thought. Yeah, in the same spot.

69
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,960
Yeah yeah, yeah, what about you, stitch head.

70
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 9: I was not able to make it physically okay, any games,

71
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,639
but certainly locked into multiple innings on the television.

72
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 6: No games. I didn't throw any complete games out there.

73
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:53,199
You could find the games this week, though.

74
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:55,759
Speaker 9: I could find the games, which was a huge upgrade

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,280
from last last week. I tried most you weren't here

76
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,599
last week at our show, but I was. I tried

77
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:03,280
to watch as much baseball I could last week.

78
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:05,759
Speaker 7: I respect that. I respect the hell out of it. Man,

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,919
I really do the efforts there. That's what's important.

80
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,879
Speaker 9: That's all that really matters, is the effort, not the

81
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:11,479
outcoming life.

82
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 6: Do you want?

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: Baseball didn't put the effort we needed them into the broadcast.

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 9: Now there's multiple people trying to illegally stream it. They

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,720
put in a lot of good effort. They got taken down,

86
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:25,199
they did by the YouTube cops. Yeah, but not this week,

87
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,160
the fun police.

88
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:30,199
Speaker 6: Not this week. Upgraded the old ESPN app subscription. Not

89
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,480
a big deal. You got to expense that, you should.

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 9: That's a good idea. It wasn't extra like work related.

91
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,759
What was it extra nine ninety nine a month? Yeah,

92
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:42,839
it's work related, just to watch watch the old baseball team.

93
00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:47,519
Speaker 4: Worth it. We're good. I'm glad you watched. I was

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,480
really hoping. I knew a laundra was going to be

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,160
out today. That's our baseball go to, and so I

96
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,920
was like running around that corner. I was like, I

97
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,199
hope I see Moose in that chair. I hope I

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,959

00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:03,040
on Monday afternoon. I got there, so Tuesday I joined

139
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,759
the show here via FaceTime because we got a little

140
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:10,600
bit of a later start. But then it was twelve

141
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,720
hour days on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then a

142
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,120
three hour show on Saturday. It's twelve hour days because

143
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,079
the players come in waves like there's three big groups

144
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,120
and they have podiums out there and it's US and

145
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,839
it's NBC, CBS, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and then they.

146
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,279
Speaker 6: Kind of take players to different places.

147
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,439
Speaker 4: So you're just grabbing interviews everyone that you can, and

148
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,680
you're grabbing multiple and you have a sheet, you know,

149
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:39,120
and with our partnership with the NFL, like they're gonna

150
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,000
make sure, you know, they bring them over there.

151
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 6: But so you're highlighting the sheet.

152
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:46,079
Speaker 4: But there's also two other NFL radio shows on the

153
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,560
same channel, you know, there's Morning, midday, afternoon, and so

154
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,240

155
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:57,120
kind of gets there request if you can right now.

156
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,600

00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,199
one this was a really good group. So a lot

167
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,759
of intelligent football players in this group, just all the

168
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,319
different position groups, just having those conversations with the next

169
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,920
wave of the NFL.

170
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 6: I mean we caught up with.

171
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: Probably sixty players, sixty sixty five players that we interviewed.

172
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 6: And you knew all their names.

173
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was nobody like surprise, now we'll say this.

174
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,679
I'm not gonna be Tommy tough guy on nuts.

175
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:49,919
Speaker 6: That's true. Well it was eight seven o eight, so

176
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,679
I went tough guy. It was eight oh eight. That

177
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,480
would have been different. Tough guy nuts.

178
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: I can see I've got to rain you back in

179
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,840
on Saturday. You're like ted last week, your like nightmare.

180
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:07,200
So we have an offensive lineman already up there. Another

181
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,159
top offensive lineman was coming and they throw like this

182
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,639
sheet in front of me, like who it is, And

183
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,080
it was a last name that had thirty seven vowels

184
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,039
and it was about a mile and a half long,

185
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,120
and they throw the sheet in front of me and

186
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:26,080
I'm like, well.

187
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 6: Here we go, here we go, let's got it. I

188
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,200
don't remember what it was, but I was like, maybe

189
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,039
like a head's up.

190
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 9: Yeah it's something, and my guy's coming up, like the

191
00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:40,639
we get the parentheses next to it.

192
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 6: That tells me how to sound this out like a child.

193
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: Let me get my finger out and sound it out

194
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,679
like a child, because there.

195
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 9: Is thirty seven thousands more like European? Was this more

196
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,200
island islander? Yeah, okay, that's a tough one. It's tough,

197
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,559
but you know what, we made it.

198
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 6: We made it.

199
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 9: Did you just him like like casually drop his first

200
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:06,080
name in the first letter of his last name.

201
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 6: I don't remember what I out I should have. Yeah,

202
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,960
it's a good move. Yeah. Yeah.

203
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: You remember the old commercial like when collect calls used

204
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,120
to be a thing, and the guy didn't have money

205
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,440
for the collect call and so it's like, hey, say

206
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,639
your name on an old collect call. So your name

207
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,639
is like uh and then just had a baby, right,

208
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,159
and he was trying to get as much as he

209
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,159
could in this little bitty windows.

210
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 6: Like, Bob we out of baby. It's a boy.

211
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: It's calling you. I felt like that's what I called

212
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,919
that guy. Yeah, Bob we out of baby.

213
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 6: It's a boy.

214
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 10: Uh?

215
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 6: I like that. Yeah, But we did it. Do you

216
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,519
accept these charges? N He did not. He did not.

217
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,240
He did not. Uh so yeah, sixty five or so.

218
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 4: Players energy was great my co host was great. It

219
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,679
was a lot of fun. Again, it's fun because he's

220
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,320
a front office guy. I'm the player, all right, different

221
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,559
perspective on that process and the combine. I think you

222
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,120
would have really enjoyed that process. I know interviews aren't

223
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,120
your favorite things sometimes, but you would have really enjoyed

224
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,399
I think sitting down with some of the players, some

225
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,320
of the quarterbacks, for.

226
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 9: Sure enjoyed sitting down with the quarterbacks. You would have

227
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,519
enjoyed the sinners too. Okay, a lot of protection talk,

228
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:23,960
A lot of protection talk. Do you did you call

229
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,840
the mics in college.

230
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 6: Or a lot?

231
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: So one of my questions any center and quarterback that

232
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:33,360
we got up there, I wanted to know their process.

233
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,879
I said, all right, it's third and long, third and

234
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:41,759
seven plus we're in our base sub protection. Walk me

235
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:44,600
to the line of scrimmage and give me your process.

236
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 6: And they did. And it was awesome.

237
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, some really smart football players.

238
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,559
Pat Coogan from Indiana was awesome. Jake Slaughter from Florida

239
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,279
was awesome. I'm singing some of the logan Jones from

240
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,080
I was awesome singing some of the sinners.

241
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 9: Hey, center center, you know John Doe, What was your process?

242
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,720
What was Did you call the mics on protections? And

243
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,120
if they said yes, I'd have been like, well you

244
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:15,600
were at a trash offense. That would have been my response.

245
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,919
Speaker 6: Well, Helms, he called the mic sometimes until you told

246
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,480
him he was dumb.

247
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 9: Dumb hey called the mic on running place. I mean

248
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,039
sometimes he'd suggest he did not call the mics. I

249
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:28,600
remember getting in an argument when he tried to one time.

250
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,159
Speaker 6: Had a fist fight. Uh, he threw the ball at me,

251
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,519
but I remember, yeah, yeah, I was there and it

252
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,240
wasn't a snap.

253
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:44,519
Speaker 4: But the centers like in the way they see it,

254
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:47,320
it was, I mean different ones at different levels of

255
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,039
how they saw it, but it was.

256
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 6: It's good.

257
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,799
Speaker 9: That's fantastic that those those are the two that Hey,

258
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:54,639
you're right, the center's quarterbacks.

259
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 6: That would have been the ones I would have nerded out.

260
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,639
Speaker 9: It wouldn't have been a good interview because I would

261
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:02,559
have just nerded out and started talking about like one textree.

262
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:05,159
Speaker 4: Okay, so again, like I'll go back to it on

263
00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:08,519
the show that I've always done on Serious Probably not.

264
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 6: The NFL radio is a it's a different vibe.

265
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 4: The listeners are pretty in tune, a little bit more nerdy, yeah,

266
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:20,000
like pretty more in tune in too, like some of

267
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,519
the x's no's and the process in the way. I'll

268
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,879
have to go back and either listen or think about

269
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:30,440
the way that meant. Fernando Mendoza said it. His was

270
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,600
they had like an acronym. It was PIMP P I

271
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,320
m P H on his process walking to and he

272
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,919
went through the whole thing. It was incredible. I have

273
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,240
to think of what p I M P stood for

274
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,320
still for something different. I thought fifty cent song, but

275
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:45,240
it was impressive.

276
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:45,879
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.

277
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 9: I will think about that the race, see what it

278
00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:51,799
could stand for. SOMP.

279
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 4: But I definitely have some favorite players. Yeah, some favorites

280
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,080
that favorites that we talked with it and we're going

281
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,320
like when we come back, like to get the show started.

282
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 6: Like else.

283
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 4: You had a hell of a baseball weekend, so mostly

284
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,000
gonna get you smothered and cover there. But at some point, yeah,

285
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,559
I'd like to put my list together of the guys that.

286
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 9: You came in today, saying that it was a group

287
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,759
of really well spoken young man well spoken uh huh.

288
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:26,559
Speaker 4: From every different location in the United States, different schools,

289
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,519
very intelligent.

290
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:32,759
Speaker 6: Group, very wealthy group as well. We made a lot

291
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:34,600
of money, some of them did. Yeah.

292
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: One of the ones that may have made the most

293
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:40,360
money was my favorite interview of the week. So we'll

294
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:42,559
get to that. That's a little that's a tease down

295
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,159
the road, to tease down the road. All right, So

296
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,200
glad to be back, Happy to be be back here.

297
00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:53,039
Speaker 9: Thank you for holding it down. We did something. I

298
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,080
don't know if we held it down, but hey, Taylor,

299
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,200
we survived. There was I think we did more than

300
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,639
I mean the ratings we got to huge boost.

301
00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: Probably we encourage the LSU guys to run good forties

302
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:04,519
and they did.

303
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is true. I mean, we did a lot.

304
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,159
Credit to ourselves. There was no pink tag in the

305
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:11,279
locker when I came back. There was no pink tag.

306
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,480
We made the squads. We didn't lose too many sponsors.

307
00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:19,559
Speaker 9: Well, no, it's tricky sometimes.

308
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,759
Speaker 6: That's okay, we'll bring them back.

309
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 9: But I think, uh, I think our listeners had a

310
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,159
pretty good time. That's all it matters. That's all that matters. Sure,

311
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:30,320
we had some interviews. I didn't confuse Kim Milky this time,

312
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,879
and that's what you were there. She understood the question.

313
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:33,919
She understood every question.

314
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,919
Speaker 2: I asked, which killed the J Clark interview Friday?

315
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, ine three head coaches, but by myself, no,

316
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,159
think no, Andred Taylor fed me a lot of questions.

317
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:50,559
Speaker 4: Jay Johnson too, Oh yeah, I heard you were trying

318
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:52,279
to Were you talking philosophies with him? What was that

319
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:54,519
you were dealing with them?

320
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:55,879
Speaker 6: I told him.

321
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:57,159
Speaker 9: I was like, Hey, can we just swing away on

322
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,919
three to zero? Guys, let's stop taking owned some meat balls?

323
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,279

325
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:10,039

326
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,759
Speaker 6: He said we He said, I do do that. I

327
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:13,440
do like to do that.

328
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 9: At the time, like you started talking about all these

329
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:17,919
like yeah, if the if it's a left.

330
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:20,279
Speaker 6: Handed batter, and this is they have all this stuff.

331
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 9: I was like, I don't know, coach their meatballs three

332
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,039
and oh right down the middle.

333
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 6: It's the best pitch you gonna see over the fence.

334
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,919
Speaker 2: Matt learned about the ghost in the building last week.

335
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 6: The Diddler. Yeah, no, old diddler, the old ghost Diddler. Yeah,

336
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,919
Taylor's favorite place to go see. Yeah it is. That's

337
00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:41,799
It's so weird how it takes him so long to go.

338
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing. I'm telling I'm selling mad move.

339
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:46,480
So I asked me one time. I was like, won't

340
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,840
you use about them on this floor? I was like,

341
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,879
I like the other one better yeats down.

342
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,799
Speaker 6: And on that note, we'll take our first break of

343
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:54,200
the show.

344
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,399

Speaker 10: Off the Bench, MP, thanks thanks stopping, thanks.

347
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: Stopping, Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.

being out last week. A Launders like, we can't have

353
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,160
the wolf bag back for a full week. So she's

354
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,480
on vacation. I think vacation. Is that what she's doing.

355
00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:58,599
I think that's in New York City, New York City,

356
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,000
the big you make city or what commercial was that?

357

Oh yeah, as my kids like to say, Uh, probably

378
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,240
probably a good idea to go see them, just to

kind of get back where I should be.

00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,799
happy to have our guy Muso here with us today

393
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,640
and obviously our own stitchhead Matt Flynn yep, over here

394
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,200
to break down a little baseball. After the midweek lost

395
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,119
there to McNeice, and I didn't get a chance to

396
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,839
watch it was still on air, but man, I was

397
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,640
living through it through uh the wolf Back and y'all

398
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,680
were going through it. We were, Yeah, but you lose

399
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,720
that game seven to six, and then you come back

400
00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:01,119
and you get a win on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Dartmouth

401
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,279
a couple of times, and Northeastern. So I will throw

402
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:07,400
this one to you, Moose. Your biggest takeaway from the

403
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,079
LSU Baseball weekend.

404
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 5: The pitching staff.

405
00:20:09,799 --> 00:20:11,039
Speaker 7: I mean, I know a lot of people are gonna

406
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:13,079
want to talk about the offensive struggles.

407
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 5: Whan we can. They weren't very good over the course

408
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,519
of three games.

409
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,279
Speaker 7: But the pitching staff picked up all the slack that

410
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,880
was left there, and that's great to see. I mean,

411
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,160
you want to see them win games in different ways,

412
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,319
and I think there is value in them winning five

413
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,160
to two, three to one, and then three to nothing.

414
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,240
You got really good efforts from all three starters over

415
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:36,279
twenty innings combined in a one three three, one three

416
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,599
four era. From that group, they punched out twenty nine.

417
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,000
I mean, you look at Cooper Moore and William Schmid.

418
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,799
They both got you into the eighth inning. I mean,

419
00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:46,920
that's your Saturday and Sunday guy case. And Evans really

420
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,200
found his way into a groove after a little bit

421
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,880
of a rocky start with some free passes.

422
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 6: So you love that.

423
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:54,079
Speaker 5: And your bullpen through shutout ball, And what.

424
00:20:54,039 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 7: You also saw is you saw LSU on Friday and

425
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,039
Saturday only use four pitchers, which if you can run

426
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:02,839
Evans and Gidry out there on a Friday, you feel

427
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,119
pretty good about that. If you can run more and

428
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,880
Shearing out there on a Saturday, I think you feel

429
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,079
pretty good about that. But your bullpen, in the process

430
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,480
of throwing the shout out ball, came up with some

431
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:16,839
really really big moments in the game and got you

432
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,240
out of some tight jams in close matchups, which, given

433
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:24,279
LSU's offensive prowess in the first eight to nine games

434
00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:26,960
of the season, that really wasn't an opportunity because they

435
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,599
were just steamrolling everybody. So to see them do that,

436
00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:34,079
there is value there because, you know what, you're not

437
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,559
gonna steamroll everybody. Once the thirty game gauntlet starts, You're

438
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:39,240
gonna have to come in and get some tough out.

439
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:41,960
So for me, it's the pitching staff far and away.

440
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,279
I mean again, if you're getting three earned from your

441
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:47,519
starters and shut out from your bullpen, you're feeling pretty

442
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:48,160
good about that.

443
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the pitching staff certainly has been something

444
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:54,640
on Saturday and Sunday. I mean, we've talked about it

445
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,799
so many times, Moss. I know you've talked about it,

446
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,799
like if you can get that on Sunday from William Smith.

447
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,519
You weren't really sure, like, you know, the talent's there,

448
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:04,640
But he's still a young player, still only a true

449
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,440
sophomore last year. You could see why everybody was excited

450
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,319
about it. But again, right, he's a young baseball player,

451
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:15,960
true freshman, playing on a national championship team, and the

452
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,079
way that he started this season is like the best

453
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,200
possible scenario I think for LSU baseball. If you get

454
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:25,400
that version of him, I think about it, a guy

455
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,079
that was going to be first round pick, a guy

456
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:29,279
that every scout loved, and you got him on campus.

457
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:31,759
We were all shocked when you got him on campus.

458
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,519
If that guy gets the ball every Sunday and has

459
00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:39,440
this mentality, because it feels like that switch has flipped.

460
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,440
It feels like he remembers, Oh, I'm really really good,

461
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,359
and when I go out there and take care of

462
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,599
my business, I can be a Friday night stuff guy

463
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,039
on Sunday. I mean that is like a utopia situation

464
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,079
for LSU baseball.

465
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,839
Speaker 7: The confidence really stands out watching him, especially yesterday. I

466
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,880
mean you could still see him kind of feeling his

467
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,640
way through it. I feel like against UCF because he

468
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,759
had a little bit of a rocky start against Milwaukee,

469
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:06,599
pitched great against Central Floor, I mean five shot out, like,

470
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:08,680
he was very good, but I think you could still

471
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,720
see at times some kind of feeling his way through it.

472
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 5: He through everything with conviction.

473
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 7: Yesterday, got the ball, went was confident, just it definitely

474
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,359
looked like he said okay, wait yeah, that I can

475
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,640
do this. I mean, he faced four over the minimum

476
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,119
all day long. That's I mean, that's really good.

477
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 5: He landing the breaking stuff has helped.

478
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 7: But to me, the confidence yesterday that he showed is

479
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:36,759
the biggest difference that I've seen in williams Strutt so.

480
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 6: Far, because I mean, the walks, the control, that's what

481
00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:40,440
got him in trouble.

482
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 5: For sure.

483
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: It's freshman season, so to see him go back out

484
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,160
there command the plate, it's it's something that certainly, if

485
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,720
it continues, LSU is going to be exactly the team

486
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:52,480
that we thought they were, which is a team that

487
00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:54,279
goes deep, a team that has a chance, a team

488
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:56,559
that has an opportunity to run him back again.

489
00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:56,839
Speaker 6: There.

490
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,559
Speaker 4: So I know it's not your favorite brand of baseball, Matthew,

491
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:01,119
because you liked Aangers.

492
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 10: Uh.

493
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,079
Speaker 9: I Like, I asked Jay Johnson last week because they

494
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:08,160
had just come off the midweek loss and said, like,

495
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:10,799
you're you get all the accolades for being a great

496
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:12,839
coach and what you do on the baseball field and

497
00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:14,799
how you get pictures ready and hitter's ready and and

498
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:17,720
everything you do with the lineup, everything all that is awesome.

499
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:20,519
Speaker 6: I was like, but any really good coach.

500
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,079
Speaker 9: Is a part time psychiatrist, basically, right, And you're dealing

501
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,000
with the mentality of eighteen to twenty three year old kids.

502
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,319
Speaker 6: They just started a season. There's no way to prepare

503
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,680
for a seaton in baseball. They're playing.

504
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 9: They've played a lot of baseball right, right, and so

505
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,480
you have to, like you talk about the lineup struggles

506
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,400
and you talk about earlier, you know, the pitchers trying

507
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,920
to figure it out, and it seems like they have

508
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,599
figured out certainly this weekend. But you're gonna have the

509
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,119
ups and downs at the plate, you're gonna go cold,

510
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,599
you're gonna you're not gonna have the you're not gonna

511
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,079
have the success every single week and that you do

512
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,440
the weekend before. It's just it's one of those things.

513
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,079
You're still we just got into March. They've played a

514
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,279
lot of baseball in the last couple of weeks. The

515
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,880
lineup is still fantastic, so there's nothing to be where

516
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:07,119
like kind of like the Moose's point, it was kind

517
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,799
of nice to see the pitchers have to have to

518
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:13,359
make pitches, have to get out, and they certainly did so.

519
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 4: Mus I'll throw back to you and Tayay if you

520
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,319
got anything, obviously jump right in when you look at

521
00:25:20,319 --> 00:25:24,440
the offensive struggles, right And I'm trying to watch a

522
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,759
little bit there while I'm doing some of the shows

523
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:28,640
in Indie, it really felt like to me, and it

524
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,200
could you know, it could be a different case, but

525
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,960
it was really there was no table setting. It felt

526
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:35,839
like the top of the lineup really struggled as well.

527
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,200
And I went back and I'm kind of reviewing some

528
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,799
of yesterday's game, and it's just you can't start a

529
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,880
game where you're one and two hole hitters go zero

530
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,440
for eight with four strikeouts. Like to me, that was

531
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:51,599
like the issue as we all know, like you want

532
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:53,119
to get guys on base, you want to get the

533
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,680
top of the lineup going, and yesterday, for me, it

534
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,799
felt like those struggles came from the top of the

535
00:25:57,799 --> 00:25:59,880
lineup because they didn't give themselves a chance. I mean,

536
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,160
I want to say, I don't even know if they

537
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,599
got on base outside of maybe one.

538
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 7: Error the leadoff to I don't even think they've reached

539
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:09,960
base on air.

540
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 5: Korea, Yes, Korea.

541
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,079
Speaker 7: On the eighth inn, he reached reached on the air

542
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:15,519
because then Brown hit the double over the center fielders

543
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:17,400
had to score him. So yes, they reached on the

544
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,359
air there at the top of the order. Definitely struggled that.

545
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,880
It is kind of just all throughout though, man one

546
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,880
through nine all weekend. I mean to steal a phrase

547
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,200
from Jay Johnson, they seem like they're very out of

548
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:30,640
character at the plate right now. There's a lot of flyouts,

549
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,119
which that's not what Jay's ever looking for. He wants

550
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,440
it middle of the field and backside on a line

551
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,200
on the ground, hard hit balls, doubles in the gap,

552
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:40,640
that type of thing. And to me.

553
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 5: The timing looks off for them an awful lot.

554
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,279
Speaker 7: And I don't think their pitch selection was the best

555
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,799
this weekend, But it's.

556
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 5: One of those things where.

557
00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 7: You look at it in the vacuum, you say, okay, yea,

558
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,839
it was bad, Like unless you hit one sixty four

559
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,279
as a team over these three games.

560
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,839
Speaker 5: That's not good. Like that, that's bad.

561
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 7: But I also can't unsee the first nine games of

562
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,319
the year where they hit like three sixty as a

563
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,960
club and score ten runs a game, Like it's in there.

564
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:13,759
We know they can do that. And last time I check,

565
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,480
number two is still in the dugout. So if he's

566
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,920
still in the dugout and running the program and working

567
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,000
with the hitters. They're they're gonna get it figured out.

568
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:22,880
Every team that man's ever had anywhere has hit this

569
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,559
one already has this year, and they will again. It's

570
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:29,200
it just wasn't great this weekend.

571
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: And this is gonna sound is gonna sound so elitist,

572
00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:33,759
and I don't want it to, but it's going to.

573
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:35,039
Speaker 6: It's fine whatever.

574
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,559
Speaker 4: Like even coaching young people baseball, right when you've been

575
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,640
facing good staff, good staff, good staff, good staff, throwing

576
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,000
kind of what you've always kind of seen, right, and

577
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:49,960
then you come to a staff that's maybe hitting eighty

578
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:50,960
nine to ninety one.

579
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 6: Now they're hitting their spots.

580
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,599
Speaker 4: You gotta give him credit, yeah, but they're not throwing

581
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,599
ninety four ninety six. You got to make that adjustment,

582
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,599
like it happens to us and youth based ball time.

583
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,200
Like you got guys our whole team, like their front

584
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:05,880
foot is in the very tip top of the batter's box, right,

585
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,000
You're trying to make those adjustments, and like sometimes you'll

586
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,119
have a weekend where that happens, and you got to

587
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,920
find a way to grid out some victories and they

588
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,079
have and else she's three and zero in the process

589
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:18,759
sometimes and we've seen this in LSU baseball history certainly,

590
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,720
when you go what you're used to seeing and then

591
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,359
it dips down from ninety four to ninety five to

592
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,000
eighty nine to ninety one, some of those adjustments don't happen.

593
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,839
Speaker 1: Well, it's it feels like to me, they're trying to

594
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,359
kill it. Like we talked about that, We.

595
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:33,519
Speaker 6: Talk about that they were trying to hit Tiger Stadium.

596
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: They fell behind like pretty big against McNeese, and it

597
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,240
looked like they were trying to kill it. I mean,

598
00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:43,240
he mentioned all the popouts over the weekend. Like yeah,

599
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:46,000
and if you guys heard Jay Johnson's postgame comments on

600
00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:48,359
the radio interview on Friday night, he said, somebody else

601
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,119
is gonna have to run this program because I'm going

602
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,359
to live with this team in the batting cages. You

603
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,680
gotta trust that Jay Johnson's going to turn this thing around.

604
00:28:56,759 --> 00:28:58,559
Somebody else is going to have to run the team

605
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:00,759
because I'm going to be in the adding cages with

606
00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:03,720
these guys until further notice. And like yeah, Curie all

607
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:05,799
and Brown they were great, but like Friday night they

608
00:29:05,799 --> 00:29:08,119
were good. I mean Friday night, Curiole what two for five,

609
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,480
scored a run two rbr's Jake Brown one for three

610
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,799
RBI drew a walk.

611
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:14,279
Speaker 2: It was just after that.

612
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,359
Speaker 1: I mean you you go look at the rest of

613
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,920
the lineup, and even with those two the last two

614
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,079
games of the series, I just think they're trying to

615
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:21,519
do too much.

616
00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: At the play.

617
00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:24,079
Speaker 9: They went one to sixty four against two teams that

618
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,000
had their uniforms made by Russell Athletics.

619
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:30,079
Speaker 2: Hey, we talked about it.

620
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,559
Speaker 6: Though I didn't know they were still in business. I

621
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:33,799
don't know they're still making unis.

622
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: We talked about it though. You were like, oh, they're

623
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
facing Dartmouth nerds. They're probably studying. They don't stand a chance.

624
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:44,519
But then we were like, wait a minute, they're calculating.

625
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 6: The ball velocity. A bunch of nerds speaking.

626
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,559
Speaker 4: Teams say, if any sport has the analytics that you

627
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:52,519
can try to cheat it here and there, it's baseball.

628
00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 6: I don't know if Dartmouth had a player that could

629
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,759
see over a five eight fence. Bro. They they were not.

630
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: I'm about to look up the road.

631
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 7: They are not very tall out there, the big green,

632
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,640
the big Green, not very big.

633
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, but they were gritty, man.

634
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 9: They were.

635
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,519
Speaker 6: They got to be gritty with uniforms that scratchy.

636
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:22,559
Speaker 7: That's hey man, I'll I still say the worst unions

637
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:24,079
that have come through the box so far this year

638
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:28,039
were Milwaukee, the ones they wore on Sunday where it

639
00:30:28,119 --> 00:30:30,799
just said m K E across the chip I mean,

640
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,119
and then the state of Wisconsin on their hat and

641
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,960
no one could figure.

642
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:34,799
Speaker 5: Out what it was like.

643
00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: You're like, if your state is not recognized, shap like like,

644
00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:42,160
let me say it's the boot. Nobody knows what Florida's like,

645
00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:45,359
get your wisk, Caltain, nobody knows.

646
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 5: No one knows that the outline of Wisconsin looks like.

647
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 6: You're about to get there.

648
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:52,559
Speaker 5: Okay, you lived here and you played there, all right.

649
00:30:55,759 --> 00:30:59,319
Speaker 4: All right, l s U Baseball gets another opportunity, as

650
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,680
Mouse said, coming up tonight six thirty pm, first pitch

651
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:05,359
against Northeastern. We'll see if they can get some of

652
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,279
those issues inside the batter's box turned around.

653
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 6: All right, we will take a break when we come back.

654
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:14,079
Speaker 4: Let's maybe get into some of the top performers from

655
00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:16,200
the NFL combine and we'll do it right here on

656
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:23,240

703

Speaker 4: All right, NFL Combine, did we have any standout performances

704
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:42,119
that anybody in the room would like to talk about

705
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,039
before our wax poetic about one certain player.

706
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,279
Speaker 1: Yes, Xavion Thomas made himself some money over the weekend.

707
00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:49,559
Speaker 6: It's funny.

708
00:33:49,599 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: An article came out last week and uh Me and

709
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:54,319
Matt were chopping up about it. It was like five

710
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,240
players that could potentially break the combine forty record and

711
00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:00,279
we were like, hey, two tigers are on here and

712
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:01,079
Brown and Chris Hill.

713
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,319
Speaker 2: Now they both ran well.

714
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,079
Speaker 1: Barreon Brown was a four four zero and I think

715
00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:06,279
Chris Hilden was a four four to one. And then

716
00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:08,559
I saw Xavi on Thomas go out there and on

717
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:11,920
a four to two eight, Like that should show you

718
00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:15,920
the embarrassment of riches. Did LSU had last year receiver like,

719
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:19,519
which is why the administration had to make a change. Yes,

720
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:21,880
with everything, It's just like I watched it. I was like, man,

721
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,800
I'm happy for Xavi on Thomas. I was like, I'm

722
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,800
kind of pissed off at LSU's offense from a year

723
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,679
ago because I mean, not some Mayer's performing well the receivers,

724
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,079
but Xavi on Thomas, if you've ever heard an interview

725
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:34,800
with him, when he came out to player interviews, nicest

726
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,320
guy on the team, Like, couldn't happen to a better dude.

727
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 2: So he made himself some money over the weekend.

728
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 6: Love it.

729
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 9: I think aj Halsey not only did he confirm and

730
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,159
solidify his draft spot, but he probably enhances it he

731
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,079
goes out and runs a four or five four we

732
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,000
were talking about last week, all if he runs a

733
00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:53,920
four to five, that answers all the questions that you

734
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,360
could potentially have on him.

735
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 4: He looked different than every safety out there in the

736
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,079
best way every other and he ran that.

737
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 6: I saw the video of hitting the gauntlet. Yeah, like,

738
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,199
yeah he did, You're right. He looked thick.

739
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 4: He looked like, I can give you some will backer

740
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,960
and certain defenses if no doubt, if they ask.

741
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 9: You to do that, Like he's he's he's screaming like

742
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:15,960
camp Chancellor to me. Yeah, that's like the comp that

743
00:35:16,039 --> 00:35:18,280
I have in my head for him. I was in

744
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,280
I saw him run the gauntlet. Yeah, where they you

745
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,239
catch you catch the ball here, you turn on catch it,

746
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,079
then you run down the middle of the field.

747
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,079
Speaker 6: And he looked a lead like people will.

748
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,199
Speaker 9: Watch that and be like, oh, that was good, but

749
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,199
people don't understand how elite like his rep was, Like

750
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,440
that was a really good rep for a high profile

751
00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:36,639
wide receiver. And then I also kind of look at

752
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:40,039
it too, so maybe like he's a big guy, so

753
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,079
I think he's six foot two fifteen. I believe this

754
00:35:43,119 --> 00:35:44,960
was this host. I think got over two twenty at

755
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,239
the official way. So his ten yard dash was a

756
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,719
one point six to two, which was like in the

757
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,280
lower like twenty four percent, not very not very good.

758
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,320
But his forty yard dash was four or five to two,

759
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,760
which is sixty seven. So in between that ten and thirty,

760
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,719
so his get off isn't like the fastest, but like

761
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,559
in between that, he's running at an elite top speed.

762
00:36:03,679 --> 00:36:06,440
Going from twenty four percent out to sixty seven in

763
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,159
the last half of a forty shows you, like the

764
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,760
top end speed that he does have and a perfect

765
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,960
example of a drop down safety and maybe not the free,

766
00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:21,119
maybe not the free that's roaming the Earl Thomas type

767
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:23,840
of got but I think he solidified. The other guy

768
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,639
who I think helped himself and it has nothing to

769
00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:29,199
do with what he did physically, was Garrett Neustmeyer. Yeah,

770
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:32,159
going into more detail. Now everybody's like, well, what the hell,

771
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,400
like this is frustrating. Now he was injured, we get it,

772
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,320
he's talking about it. We're probably talking to his doctors. Now, yeah,

773
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,920
he said it, you know, senior boy, he talked to us.

774
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 6: But he's the first time he ever really opened up

775
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,559
about it was with us. He went into more detail.

776
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 9: And it's the best piece of advice he could have

777
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,760
gotten from an agent, from a dad, from a coach.

778
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:55,519
For whoever, open up about it, give him details, create

779
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,960
doubt in their minds about why you played bad. And

780
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:04,199
I think just that interview alone has to like move

781
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,239
him up yeap, just because like, okay, well let's go

782
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,320
back and now we got it. We can only evaluate

783
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,719
when he was healthy. Now, well, when he was healthy,

784
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,239
he was a projected first rounder.

785
00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 4: So in the circles that you're around and look and

786
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:20,840
there's everybody's in this room, and I mean we had

787
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:27,320
Kevin Stefanskiwa had Shane Stikeen, we had Dan Quinn, Steven

788
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,920
Jones from the Cowboys, Mike McDonald who just won a

789
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,840
Super Bowl. We had all these coaches on, right, and

790
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,719
so you hear stuff, You hear people talking, You hear

791
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:38,159
some different whispers going on. And Garrett Nessmeyer, I think

792
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,199
is actually more talked about in a positive way in

793
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,199
those circles than he is like maybe in a national narrative.

794
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:50,039
Now some of that's coming around too, but he's still

795
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,239
very well liked. Oh yeah, and you hear things like

796
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,559
but you don't know how he crushed the interviews and

797
00:37:56,639 --> 00:37:58,840
like we knew that was going to happen if we

798
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,159
can get him back to health of the year before,

799
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,239
Like we feel like this guy's going to be steal

800
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,039
Like those conversations.

801
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 6: Were going on.

802
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, this is going to be such an interesting draft,

803
00:38:08,519 --> 00:38:12,840
such an interesting offseason at the quarterback position in the NFL,

804
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,679
the NFL. The quarterback position in the NFL is such

805
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,760
a healthy spot. There's so many good players, Like it

806
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,000
was hard making a top ten list every single week

807
00:38:21,079 --> 00:38:23,440
during the season because who do I keep out? Who

808
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,119
do I put in? Like there's so much great NFL

809
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,360
quarterback play happening. But this is such an intriguing offseason

810
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,320
because you want to hear your list of free agents

811
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:41,760
Yeat Tua, got Kyler, Murray Kirk, Cousins, Gina Smith, Malik Willis, period.

812
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

813
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 4: So if you're the Jets and you need a quarterback,

814
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,519
and that's the list that you hear if you don't,

815
00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:52,679
if you don't get one, or even trying, But who

816
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,920
they going to get because that free agent classes week.

817
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,079
Speaker 9: I'll tell you what they do have. They have six

818
00:38:58,159 --> 00:39:02,719
first rounders and they on draft day they'll have seven

819
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:06,760
because you can you can trade up to I think

820
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,639
four drafts in advance and on draft day they'll have seven.

821
00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:13,320
They can have a lot of quarterbacks we got. You

822
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,559
want to talk about a blockbuster trade if they want to, Yeah,

823
00:39:16,639 --> 00:39:19,840
how about five first rounders for Frenanda Mendoza, five first

824
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,519
rounders for Joe Burrow, five first rounders.

825
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:23,199
Speaker 6: For Lamar Jackson.

826
00:39:23,679 --> 00:39:26,199
Speaker 9: Like at some point, everybody's got a price that is

827
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,960
a price that the Jets can match, and only the

828
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:29,800
Jets can match.

829
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,679
Speaker 6: Yep. So there's a weak list of free agents yep.

830
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 4: And you can't win if you ain't out one, you

831
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,800
can't do it. And you can say old Sam Sam

832
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,079
Donald's the top five pick. They went to a horrible franchise.

833
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaking of the Jets, it's not like he forgot how

834
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,920
to play quarterback. He just went to a terrible situation,

835
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,639
was still very young and found his way. Look at

836
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:55,639
the quarterbacks that have won the Super Bowls, look at

837
00:39:55,639 --> 00:39:58,480
the quarterbacks that have made the playoffs. There's a reason

838
00:39:58,519 --> 00:40:00,880
why we all know exactly where Brock already got selected,

839
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,360
because he's the outlier.

840
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 9: You gotta have that, dude, Daniel bashm great point five

841
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,360
first round US for Rattler, no doubt.

842
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 4: Oh we'll get to somebody that. Come on, man, tell

843
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,920
me you don't know football without telling me you don't

844
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,639
know football. But anyways, Moose for you take a break,

845
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:22,920
because mine's gonna take a whole segment somebody that shoot

846
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:23,239
out to you.

847
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,079
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, well I was actually gonna go with nuss

848
00:40:26,159 --> 00:40:28,119
Meyer for the for the reason that Flynn said, Man,

849
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,760
it looked like he threw the ball really well too.

850
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 5: So not only did he.

851
00:40:30,519 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 7: Explain the injury in great detail be able to really

852
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,639
control that narrative, he also went out there and showed

853
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:37,119
that he was healthy. He saw a couple of the

854
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,360
deep ones that he was able to uncork kind of

855
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,519
just on social media. And I mean you patch that

856
00:40:42,679 --> 00:40:46,400
up with his performance at the Senior Bowl and then

857
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,800
the combine. I mean, I get it, this season didn't

858
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,119
go the way he wants. You don't have as much

859
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:54,079
tape recently, but as you said, Matt, I mean he

860
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:54,679
just told you.

861
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,559
Speaker 5: I basically couldn't throw the football. Yeah, this past season.

862
00:40:57,679 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 7: So you go back to four when when he was

863
00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:04,000
really really healthy and really good, and I think, I

864
00:41:04,039 --> 00:41:05,440
don't know if it's enough to play himself back in

865
00:41:05,519 --> 00:41:08,000
the first round, but I think he's definitely risen on

866
00:41:08,119 --> 00:41:08,440
day two.

867
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely in the conversation of second quarterback off

868
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,719
the board, I heard that with my own ears there,

869
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,599
Boots free Agents.

870
00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 6: We just gave you, all right, when.

871
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,519
Speaker 4: We come back in the last segment of hour number one,

872
00:41:19,559 --> 00:41:20,960
I'll give you the player that stood out to me

873
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:24,039
the most at the NFL scouting combine, and we'll do

874
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:26,159
it right here on OTB.

875
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 5: Off the bench.

876
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 10: The morning.

877
00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:39,159
Speaker 3: From the locker room to the airwaves. Gets off the

878
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,760
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.

879
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:48,079
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB here on this Monday morning. Uh,

880
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,559
being in Indianapolis for the last week, had a chance

881
00:41:50,639 --> 00:41:52,880
to catch up with, as we said, sixty sixty five

882
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,559
players I know somewhere around that and a lot of

883
00:41:57,199 --> 00:42:00,239
really really good, just young men I think going into

884
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,280
the NFL well spoken right reasons. Uh, very refreshing to

885
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,480
kind of have those conversations with them. But one stood

886
00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:10,400
out more than any other player this is before testing,

887
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,360
before he did what he did on the field, and

888
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,599
that was Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles blew me away

889
00:42:17,639 --> 00:42:20,199
with his football like you during the interview. His dad

890
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,880
played six years in the NFL. His brother ran a

891
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,280
four to two eight at the NFL Combine as well,

892
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,199
So it certainly comes from a nice lineage there. But

893
00:42:29,159 --> 00:42:31,800
just hearing him talk about coverages, hearing him talk about

894
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:35,159
run fits and all these different things blew me away.

895
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 6: And then he went out.

896
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 4: There and put on an epic performance. So he measured

897
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,320
in at six four and some change two hundred and

898
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,079
forty four pounds, ran a four to four to six,

899
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,280
vertical jump of forty three and a half, a broad

900
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,519
jump of eleven to two, crushed the three cones seven

901
00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:55,480
zero nine forty yard schednel four.

902
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 6: To two six.

903
00:42:57,679 --> 00:43:00,599
Speaker 4: He has started over forty games at Ohio State, played

904
00:43:00,639 --> 00:43:04,079
in over fifty and is still twenty one years old.

905
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:06,519
Speaker 6: I'll say that again.

906
00:43:06,599 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 4: He started over forty games already in his college career

907
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:10,960
as twenty one years old.

908
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,559
Speaker 6: Did that as a seventeen year old.

909
00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 4: He started at safety, moved to nickel, and then became

910
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,159
the Green Dot Mike linebacker. You know how hard that

911
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,679
is to do to be able to do all three

912
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,719
of those things. But he did them at an incredibly

913
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,360
high level. So if you're in the camp of you

914
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,800
can't take an off the ball linebacker at this spot,

915
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,480
you don't know the player. You're just saying that based

916
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,599
off other players. I love Jacob Rodriguez, he can't take

917
00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:34,960
him there.

918
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 6: I get that.

919
00:43:35,559 --> 00:43:37,679
Speaker 4: Sonny Styles is not Jacob Rodriguez, and I mean that

920
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,920
with all due respect. Sonny Styles is a game changer.

921
00:43:41,599 --> 00:43:44,079
He's lined up on all three levels. He can continue

922
00:43:44,119 --> 00:43:46,519
to line up in multiple spots. He can line up

923
00:43:46,599 --> 00:43:48,079
on the edge here, he can line up as a

924
00:43:48,199 --> 00:43:50,760
green dot mike linebacker. He can line up wherever you

925
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,840
need him. If you have a pick and you're in

926
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,639
the top ten, do not put Sonny Styles in the

927
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,960
same camp as every other off the ball linebacker.

928
00:44:00,519 --> 00:44:01,119
Speaker 6: He's different.

929
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 4: He's different with his football IQ, he's different with his

930
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,039
skill set, and he has gotten forty five starts twenty

931
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:09,599
one years old. There's still more development that can be

932
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:12,039
had with Sunny Styles. We'll be back hour number two

933
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:13,320
off the bench
