Speaker 1: I'll start to it. You to presents. Off the bench

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and C Bob aber.
Speaker 3: I gotta come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Oh what's having it y'all? Tuesday, January seventh, twenty twenty five,
and it's another wonderful day here in the Capital City.
It's a wonderful day here. I'm playing at Earth. I
hope you're having a great day. No matter where you
are listening from. Thanks to the Internet, you can be
listening to this anywhere. So let's have ourselves a day,
no matter where you are, no matter what's going on.
Let's have some fun over the next few hours. As
I'm got a lot to get to. The Saints coach
Charch rolling right along. We got coach Molkey coming on today.
Mail bag. Of course I can do every single Tuesday.
I'm talking to Nick Underhill. I'll have it talking Nick
in a little minute. Just some mine. I some mind
blowing wide receiver U numbers in terms of the overwhelming
success that lshoes receivers had in the NFL's shoe that
will blow your mind. Whatever, it's gonna be a very
fun show, as it always is so YouTube dot com,
Slash one, O four or five, ESPN. Have you want
a hop in the bity Ford YouTube chat and come
hang out with us? It's the best place to do so.
And uh yeah, man, let's let's do it. Jakie, what's
up baby? How are we feeling? Uh? Everybody got back
to normal? I think this morning on the road.
Speaker 4: Yeah, notice that. Notice more people on the road yep. Yeah,
schools back in. Probably a lot of miserable people in
their car, big cups of coffee just because.
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of people haven't worked in a
long time. No, no, I mean we're talking fourteen seventeen
day breaks poticially, you could have really how these holidays
fell was the probably the most manipulable I've ever seen
in my adult life in terms of maximizing VACA the week.
Yeah exactly, Yeah, those who did so.
Speaker 4: If you take like a you know, a Monday and
a Thursday, you can get like, you know, six straight
days off it.
Speaker 3: Uh, I mean it is it is why you know,
diving back in after that extended break can always be tough.
But I feel fully back. I feel fully back into
the workflow. Now that we've been in Thursday and Friday,
we're kind of dipping the toes back in the water.
And now with yesterday and today, I think where we
are good to go, and all three kids finally back
in school today as well. But feeling good. A Landra
was su girl, how you doing looking very christmasy in
your red sweater, trying to keep it alive.
Speaker 5: No, it's just a red sweater. It's just cold outside.
Speaker 3: It is cold outside, It's wonderfully cold inside of freaking
love it.
Speaker 5: I don't love it.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 5: It was very hard for me to get out of
bed this morning because my bed was so warm.
Speaker 3: It is. It seems like a lot of Louisianians don't
actually like the cold, where I kind of pine for
it because we never have it.
Speaker 5: I hate it.
Speaker 3: It seems like many of the people that I talked
to would just rather it be warm year round and
you can just be out in the sun and shill.
I need a little bit of a little bit of variance,
you know, I need. I need to experience both a
little bit. So I'm very, very pleased with the polar vortex.
Speaker 5: You canna be okay with like big fan of PVSE.
I could be okay with like the fifties. Once it
gets below that, it's I.
Speaker 3: Will say this, but you don't get to wear your
peaky blinder coade. That's true exactly. I did have a house.
We're gonna get out winter fits out. It is.
Speaker 5: I don't care enough.
Speaker 3: It is crazy that I'm so We're so used to
it being warm here. I was. I was kind of
laughing about this to myself yesterday that ninety percent of
the time here when it is sunny outside, it will
never actually be cold, right like like think about the
way we had last couple months. Right maybe in the
morning it's kind of cold, but as soon as something
comes out gets like seventy what are the case? May
be my brain does not. It feels like there's a
connect when it's like, yes, a beautiful blue sky, sun
shining down and it's like forty something. Yeah, I love
it so odd. My senses don't know what to make
of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought I was going to walk out it's
gonna be somewhat warm yesterday.
Speaker 3: And it's a good I like it. What's up, dude?
How you doing bro, doing good, doing well?
Speaker 6: If you if you see me walking a little stiff today,
it's it's not. I was not to say it's not
because I was with T Bob last night, even though
we had a beautiful evening together. It's because, uh, I'm
breaking in a new pair of boots. Guys, the boots
be able to break them out?
Speaker 1: Big news.
Speaker 3: Can you show let's see the boots.
Speaker 2: They're like they are snake skinned.
Speaker 3: Let me see him? Nice? Ah, those are nice those?
There are those hard to pair with things? Or do
you just wear them with jeans like jeans and like
a darker okay, okay, coordinated it? Well, yeah, I can't
see I can't see his I can't see what he
has on a normal typical neon polo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I can't. Got to change that up
a little bit.
Speaker 3: I know. That's very That's a very exciting and day
in any young boys life from Walker. So we are
we're very happy for you. Hope you're freaking in. Yeah,
this new boot goofing. I hope the boots are going well. Then,
speaking of going well, we are going to get into
these Saints interview requests, as there are Saints going to do.
They're due diligence if nothing else in this uh, in
this head coaching search. So let's go ahead and get
this thing started.
Speaker 1: It's time to get to work courtesy of Tiger Labor
and Staffing where they can help take care of screening, training,
pay roll and more.
Speaker 3: Now for starters, all right, remember Tiger Labor and Staffing
are your local staffing experts. Okay, you need solutions for
warehouse structure, manufacturing positions. Maybe these a short term solution
or a long term ires. Either way, we've got you
covered with skilled, dependable workers, locally owned and operator. We
are proud to serve Baton Rouge. If you're really with
no calls and no shows this morning, your short staff,
give him a call to day and let Tiger Labourn
Staffing meet your work force needs. So yesterday, guys, we
talked about the Matt Naggy requested interview. Of course, and
something that does less than zero for us makes no
sense whatsoever. He is the OC at Kansas City. Why
would you give him credit for anything that's going on
in Kansas City. But then yesterday there was a very
interesting name that started to make the rounds. And by
the way, so here guarantee we have put together a
site called Louisiana Sports dot Net and assembled quite the team.
Chris Marlin Ross Jackson is our Saints guy. Of course
has locked on Saints as well. Hunt Palmer covering LSU
great resource during this offseason for all of your kind
of Louisiana news. So I think Ross has been doing
a really good job of keeping you up to date
on the head coach tracker for everybody that Saints are
looking at. But but David Shaw is someone that there's
a bit of conflicting reports about. It's an interesting name, though,
David Shaw. You're like David Shaw, I know the name
you have that former head coach of Stanford, longtime head
coach of Stanford, three PAC twelve titles to Rose Bulls,
four time Pack twelve Coach of the Year. He's actually
with the Broncos right now as a senior personnel executive.
He used to coach Uh he assistant a coach in
the NFL for many years back out in the late
nineties early two thousands. So an interesting name that I
would not have expected. However, after a flurry of initial
report said they were going to interview him, there's been
a flurry of conflicting reports and they do not have
plans to interview David Shaw at the time, so we'll
continue to update that situation as it goes on. As
far as Darren Rizzy goes. Darren Rizzy says his official
interview comes next week. He said, Look, I'm very aware
that things that need to change around here. Cam Jordan
tweeted out, for whatever this is worth, man, after talking
with our media, let me state interim head coach Rizzy.
Interim head coach Rizzy did a lot with what was
given and speaking of change, Rizzy was kind of stumping
for himself a bit talking about some of the changes
they were able to implement mid season and tell me
if this sounds crazy to you, Jake. One of the
things he highlighted was, so, yeah, we added a dynamic
warm up before practice and games and it's significantly cut
down on cramping and soft tissue injuries. Why is the
interim head coach making that call? Why is the strain
coach not making that call? And what in the hell
were the Saints doing before? Yeah? What were they? There's
just no dynamic warm up. I don't know. I'm coming
out there and touching their toes. That's what I'm saying, Like, Okay,
everybody's just stretching your own you know, get like that's
and it's true. I mean, there were no soft tissue
injuries the second half of the season, except for Alva
Kamara's growing which was simply because he stretched out so
much to catch that to catch that ball on the sideline. Yeah,
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 4: I can tell you I've been on teams where it's like,
it's more it's a dynamic plus workout. Yeah. Coach Saban
used to have whoof I mean it was fifty three
yard gassers basically to get your day started, to get
your game started. And so to hear that they didn't
have anything, that's that's a little wild to me.
Speaker 3: You got to get the juices flowing.
Speaker 4: And you know in the NFL, even no matter where
I stopped, like, hey, go get whatever on your own.
But when we come back together, we're all going to
do a dynamic workout.
Speaker 3: It says. It is from Ross's article quote under ridsay,
the Saints improved their soft tissue injury probably had a
dynamic warm up before practicing, so foring only one softer
injury of the final eight weeks. The adjustment also led
to know cramping in the second half of the season,
something that was an issue early on Wild.
Speaker 4: Well, they were really going out there and like touch
in the toes and be like all right.
Speaker 3: So the weird part about that is it maybe speaks
to some of the overall problem and the Allen era,
which was kind of a bit too chill, given a
bit too much leeway, maybe not having the kind of
disipply I don't know, I don't know whatever. Allan there
speaks for itself soon. Darren Rizzy will be interviewed next
week again. I mean, Jake, do you think he has
any chance? I do all I don't know. An interim
guy only gets the job generally when he's hired immediately
after the season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if he does something like miraculous, like you
go seven and one not three and five. Yeah, although
it was there things that he did that improve the team,
I do think so. Yeah, I think that was an improvement,
but not enough for him. I don't think to get
the job because.
Speaker 3: I mean they went on three and five as opposed
to two and seven with way worse personnel.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, Guys off the street like we I mean,
it's factual, No, there was good there. But in this case,
in this scenario, at least we think so. I don't
know who knows with Mickey Loomis, but when it's something
that needs to change, right, you got to do something
like go seven to one, because like I think, everybody
wants everything to change. You really don't want anything that
was even like remotely related to what it was before
with Dennis Allen in that whole situation, at least you
would think.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know what Rizzy would want, but if
you do hire a new head coach, I would hope
that Rizzy would be very seriously considered to be kept
on in special teams coach, even more than like a
Kubiak or whatever, because as we'll see, you're probably get.
Speaker 4: Lead special teams anybody. I don't know, I bet he would,
and he would get a bump and pay. I think
they would have, you know, reward him for his work
that he's done and to have his you know, the
value of having him in the building, because it does
seem like some of the team rallied around him.
Speaker 3: The guys that are going to be back for next season.
The Saints I've also requested interview Joe Brady. Of course
we all know about Brady. Uh, former staffer for the Saints,
than phenom for LSU, then got jumped up to Panthers OC,
kind of struggled a bit as the entire Matt Rule
era of the Panthers and found his way back eventually
to now being Bill's OC. And well, they've had an
incredible year the Bills have this year. It's a little
bit of like kind of the same to you have
Josh Allen, you know that really helps, but yeah, Josh
Allen's Yeah, it's also been Josh Allen's best year. Yeah,
with you know, spare parts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like, you know, guys that are really
good players, but they're past their prime.
Speaker 3: Here's a fun factoid. The Bills are tied with the
twenty nineteen Saints for the lowest amount of turnovers in
a season since nineteen thirty three, only turned it over
eight times this year. The Saints, of course, already in
on the Aaron Glenn interview bandwagon, which I think that's
going to be a hot name this offseason. Already, the
Saints are one of three teams that are officially interviewed
Aaron Glynn, as the Bears and Jets are also on
the list. Of course, Glynn kind of coming off of
his regular season magnum opus holding that Vikings team to
nine points in two hundred and six two yards. That's
lowest point total, second lowest yardage total on the year.
So again, it's tough to maybe want to go defensive.
But everything I've heard about Aaron Glynn, because you know,
we've talked to Kelvin Sheppard about him before down there
mobile and stuff, and just said he's like an incredible man,
incredible leader. And when you look at the culture that
Dan Campbell was able to build and what a part
Aaron Glynn was of that, and then the lessons in
culture building that Glynn could take from there and bring
here like that does make him very attractive. In my mind.
Speaker 4: I think he's the only defensive coordinating slash defensive side
of the football guy that you would even.
Speaker 3: Consider bringing in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just because you want to go so far away
from what you had and look, this is, you know,
defensive guy. I went to Texas A and M, just
like Dennis Allen. But that's really where it stops as
far as who they are and how they coach and
all the you know situations, So if you bring in
a defensive guy like this would be the only one.
And I do think there's a lot of things that
you know, him and Dan Campbell kind of grow together
in their assistant coaching ranks there in New Orleans and
different stops, and then you know together what as a
defense coordinator as and has a head coach, and there
is a lot of stuff that they probably do similar
and what Dan Campbell's selling in Detroit, all the every
player on that roster buys into.
Speaker 3: And I think you are looking for that.
Speaker 4: You're looking for somebody that is going to demand for
you to buy into the culture that they're setting forth.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I don't know where this Detroit
run ends, but I want to do a deep I
need I need to like really do a deep dive
on it and just really appreciate it because it is
actually legitimately mind boggling that he took over a franchise
that had been so awful and so inept for so
long one playoff win since the fifties, and he took
over and just through sheer force of will and charisma
and leadership, now has them as the one seed. Did
you watch The Hard Knocks the year that it was
now just two years ago, Taylor? It was.
Speaker 4: It was incredible, and not just because of you know,
the actual football action, which was great, but just hearing
Dan Campbell talk to his team and present the culture
to his team, and he would just say things like
I promise you, guys, like I promise you.
Speaker 3: I remember that, I remember those clips.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what we're doing, I promise you where you're going
to get to where we want to go where.
Speaker 3: He's like almost in the Virgin of Tiers. Gosh, guys,
I don't think about nothing, but you I don't think
nothing y'all every day.
Speaker 4: And you know, at the beginning, a lot of people
that don't know ball were sitting there and like making
fun of us because like, you can't grit your way
through the NFL. We turns out you can now if
you get everyone to buy into what you're selling, and
if you're authentic well and and.
Speaker 3: And and to be fair, the skill of they have
they have made and and and also this goes to
culture because culture helps guys succeed. But they've made good
front office moves. You know, everybody thought Jared Golf was dead,
nobody wanted him. Sean McVay was like, he was just
Sean mcvay's meat puppet, no talent of his own. Okay,
well that was a lie. Uh drafting Penney Seel what's
look paceuol Jamar Chase worked out for both teeth. Nobody's upset,
But Pence soool has been massive for the team. Eight
Hudson Like they've made alex Inzeloni right, I mean they've
made so many good bibs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody laughed at that when he him at twelve,
It's like, yeah, yeah, I scored four touchdowns the other night,
and it's one of the best backs in the league.
And it look it's from top to bottom. And again
like that that press conference. I don't even remember what
year that was now, but when he was like we're
gonna we're gonna bite some knee caps off, I was like,
I want to play for that guy. I will pull
my hamstring right now running down kickoff for that guy.
And a lot of people sat there and they made
fun of it. It's like, oh, this guy, he can't
be in the NFL. Well, today's NFL is not yesterday's NFL.
And if it's authentic. I'll keep going back to that
because I think the same situation for Jim Harvall in
LA with the Chargers. Look, he's Cory, but he's honest,
but everybody knows this is who he is. Yeah, right,
and his enthusiasm unknown to mankind, Like he always says, well,
he believes that, and so you can believe in it
because it is authentically him. Just like the same situation
with Dan Campbell, and you get to so many coaches
t where it's like, man, that guy is so fake.
That guy is trying to sell us something that he
doesn't even believe in, and you just have the complete
opposite situations in Detroit in La.
Speaker 3: Napoleon has some famous quote that I'm gonna butcher somewhat,
but I think I got the gist basically, where it's
like in war, morale is to the physical as four
as to one, basically saying that, like you know, belief
attitude matters even more than your actual physical skill set
of both those guys would would speak to that from
a leadership standpoint. So if you wonder why we're spending
so much time time on the line just because the
Lions did exactly what you're trying to do you're god
awful and you're trying to become good again, and they
somehow managed to do it, and it took two or
three years, but they did it consistently. That's another part
of it, Tea not to cut you off there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Saints fans might have to realize that it is
going to take breaking it down to the ground. Yeah,
to build it back up to be a temple, like,
it's going to take some time. And I understand since
two thousand and six you haven't really had to do
that because like a lot of that time, your bad
seasons were five hundred seasons.
Speaker 3: You know, it's to the.
Speaker 4: Point now where it does feel like you do need
to break it all the way down. You get a
coach and preferably a quarterback to grow together to set
their culture, and it's gonna be two years of suck
it just it is. But on the other side, you
can be the Detroit Lions that thirteen and four, fourteen
and three, like whatever it might be.
Speaker 3: So I'll rat all of these last names real quick
here because you going long. Maybe we'll explore them on
the other side. One of Taylor's favorite the Saints have
put in a request to interview Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
It's Keilmore's first interview with the cycle. They've also put
in a request for Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver. And then
this one's maybe the most random feeling Giants OC and
assistant head coach Mike Kofka. So again, more than anything,
those names are just telling me the Saints are going
to cast a wide net here as they try to
find their guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can get behind. And so a lot of
the names you're talking about. Philly is a top ten offense,
Buffalo's a top ten offense. Uh, you know with Detroit
and Glenn and him having like all that makes sense.
I don't know why you're interviewing the Giants offensive coordinator.
They were he was also the assistant head coach exactly.
They were thirtieth in offense this year in the NFL thirty.
Speaker 3: Because you were you you want someone who's also used
to cooking with used band aids and.
Speaker 4: Rotten And that was just in total yards. I think
it might have been even worse when it comes. Yeah,
they were thirty first in points per game.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so you just don't get any Tom Landry
and such all right, we're going very long. Let's get uh,
let's go to break, we get back more OTB off

We're going full new boot Taylor today. Ball close enough.
Speaker 7: To what kind of boots are those?
Speaker 3: Both?
Speaker 2: Brandy? You know, I don't know. I'll have to look
at the box.
Speaker 4: Victoria Bottom justin now they're not just I don't know
what the health is.
Speaker 3: On the heell. I can't see it though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my flexible said you were flexible?
Speaker 3: Okay, they weren't in the box. No, no dynamic warm up.
It's like you said, you said.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: I actually, for once in my life, credit to me,
avoided interrupting you because you said you tear your hamstring
and play for Dan Campbell. And I really wanted to
get in a dynamic warm up joke, but I didn't
like at my current age. No, I know, but I'm
saying i'd bit my tongue. It would be the perfect
time to throw in a oh well, you know that.
Speaker 4: I say that joke all the time for coaches I
love because I'm this is my fortieth year on this planet. Sure,
so I'm saying like I would tear my hamstring just
to play for that guy one game, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Mean open up. I dare any adult sprint even and see, like,
be careful though, because the percentages of getting injured are
actually insane. Like a full sprint you don't realize you
never really go max effort. Open that thing up full
and see what happens you're gonna I mean, you might
have the hubcaps fall off. I mean look good having
a pananski very famously. Yeah, I know this man tried
to run forty yards ending up with a broken collar
bone and a torn hamstring. I wouldn't do that. You know.
Speaker 4: I've opened it up, not that long ago, but truly
opening it up. You know that's different. No, And the
only time I ever opened it up is if I'm
like trying to like hammer home a point to.
Speaker 3: Either my boys or a team, and I'm like, this.
Speaker 4: Is you do it like this and You're like, I
shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 3: LSU Portal Combat. LSU set to host former Texas A
and M tight end Donovan Green. I wanna visit this
week again. Nothing, this is nothing to uh this is
this is not like a big, big giant.
Speaker 4: I think it is well, I mean not even the name,
but just like the fact that you know, you still
got to add what we talked about yesterday, you got.
Speaker 3: To add one more tight end.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and this is one that like has played
in the SEC and you don't need pass catchers right
now you got one of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's ball games.
Speaker 4: Any indication he's six, you might have the best pass
catching tight end moving forward, that's true.
Speaker 3: Donnava Green is six four, two sixty five. Yes, so
two years ago as a freshman he had twenty two catches,
two hundred thirty the yards touchdown. Then he tore his
ACL last year, so coming off of injury, which I
don't mind, right, potentially kind of driving the value down,
making him hungry to go prove himself to change his
number for a little bit. But what what oh yeah,
oh he's Nunmber eighteen. Yeah, smart play here absolutely. Jake said,
it makes a lot of sense to get depth in
the position. The only thing you can't do here is
just overpay. But again, I don't know what the market
would look like here, Like is somebody going to put
this price into overpay range? I'm not entirely sure, but
getting Donovan Green would definitely complete the tight end at
that point, you'd have Bower Sharp, you'd have trade As Green,
who again Bower Sharp let Oklahoma catches. So you're talking
about to premiere receiving tight ends who will only get
better as blocking. I imagine with more experience.
Speaker 4: That Bowl game, that man, that Bowl game, And I
said it on the broadcast tea, just think of the experience,
and I said it for a couple of guys. Trade
As Green in the run game had those reps valuable
because he didn't get those during the regular season. And
I get why I didn't get them, but like you can,
hey if you mess up, like we care, but not
as much. The same thing for like Kaden Durham and
pass protection. He had been great there, but he continued
to get better and like that was the game. Like
normally there was a couple of plays where it would
always be Josh Williams in but Katan Durham got those
reps and you saw him have to pick up a
backer or or safety and.
Speaker 3: Those things and you know this as well as I do.
Speaker 4: They can propel you into all season workouts into spring
with a different confidence because you're like, hey.
Speaker 3: You know what I did that and you know it
went pretty well. It turns out there's no better way
to feel confident about the ability to do something to
actually have done it. You know. Uh yeah, Like all
of a sudden you have belief that you did not
before because it's no longer hypothetical. You can you can
turn on the tape and see, oh no, okay, yeah
I did sort that out and man to get that
safety and look what happened and us was protected and
the big play was made. And that's what's on the
line every time you go to pass.
Speaker 4: If you got this tight end T I think you
would have what we're talking about over the last couple
of weeks, you would have a true F yep.
Speaker 3: You would have on the back end of true Y.
Speaker 4: If you got the tight end from A and M,
and then you would have your in between your tweener
of an F and a Y was sharp, it would
be you know, a tight end room that looked bleak
for a long time because you're like, hey, losing all
your guys, right, and Trade s is out there playing receiver. Well,
he comes back in the ball game, and then we
know what Sharp can do outside of throwing the ball.
Speaker 3: We saw that can't do that. I mean, you would
have he was the one that threw the uh that
the bad play, the bad trick play, the trick.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm just gonna throw it up, say Ryan, Uh,
but your Titan room would look really good I think
at that point, certainly compared to how you ended the season,
and it would still have room to grow because Trade
as green again, like his potential, you hadn't even I
don't think. I don't even think you've scratched the surface
on what he can end up leaving LSU with. Yeah,
and that's saying something because he's already made a couple
of really nice plays.
Speaker 3: If I want to be you know, if I want
to be extreme, he has like Kyle Pitt's level potential.
And I mean, like college Kyle Pitts. Now, for whatever
reason that is not translated to the NFL, but you
would still rate Kyle Pitts the exact same coming out
of college that you did at the time, he was transcendent,
got picked before Jamar Chase. That's what I'm saying, Like
like like trade as Green because of his physical attributes,
has the potential to be a first round tight end,
which is very very hard to do so and certainly,
like Jake said, how that Bowl game ended, goes a
long way towards making him believe that and getting ready
to have a massive sophomore breakout season and and and
and you know, it's one of those things Jake two
where like it's good, it's a it's a it's it's
good timing for him. Garrett Nssmeyer coming back nuts loves
throwing to tight ends, like there's gonna be a ton
of opportunity for him for him next season, and they
should be with each other throughout this offseason, grinding, getting
that chemistry down, and they could become one of the
best combinations in the entire country. Yeah uh, part of
the reason.
Speaker 4: You know, so nuss comes back, and this quarterback class
in the next NFL drafts not super deep, and there
was people that loved Nussmeyer an email Kiper had him
as a first rounder. But when you decide to come
back you have to know that I'm gonna have some
Jimmies and Joe's around me, right, You got to feel
confident in that. And so when nus Meyer can look
up and he knows he's got Aaron Anderson, he knows
he's got Chris Hilton Junior after what they did in
the bowl game. He's got Davion Thomas and now he's
got Tredeeds Green.
Speaker 3: He's got these tight end weapons.
Speaker 4: He's got Kayden Durham coming back, and they've got more
running backs coming now. The offensive line it was great
in that Baylor game. We'll see what it looks like,
you know, the totality of a regular season. Yeah, but
that's one of the things that intrigues Garrett Nesmayer to
come back because he looks up. He's like, man, I've
got kind of weapons everywhere. Now those weapons have to
live up to the potential. Like Chris Hilton Junior's been
awesome the last couple of games. We've been waiting on that.
We saw that all through training camp, right, and now
you finally get it and so those things, Yeah, that
gets you as a quarterback excited to go work with
those players. And like you're talking about now it's on
the quarterback to be able to during the off season
create that chemistry, create that relationship. What we always talk
about with Joe Burrow and Jefferson and Chase and marshall right,
they were together every day, all day during the off season.
Speaker 3: Summer, ten thousand catches and whatnot. All right, speaking of
those guys, when we get back, I'll tell you why
LSU is wide receiver you and it's not even particularly close.
More OTB coming.
Speaker 1: Up decks after bench g e a ux.
Speaker 3: Tommies dot com. What is it spelled go Tommy's And

Speaker 3: There's so much going on in this town to keep
me busy, running up and down all these avenues doing
everything think and bat.
Speaker 1: You welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other
stuff mixed in off the bench with hester Antibob.
Speaker 3: You don't really cross my man.
Speaker 1: As soon as I get out here, all these asters,
I wish I was done in by your pastors.
Speaker 3: Here's this Sam Hunt. Sure my algorithm is on Instagram's
becoming very interesting. One of the things that I keep
getting served up is like awful, awful country. You know
you do you know the video. I feel like they're
having a bit of a moment right now because I
see them starting to make the rounds on other social medias,
like they're getting taken off of introom they're getting put
onto Twitter and everything, but just and it sucks because
even though the songs are terrible, they do kind of
get stuck in your head walking or no, not this,
not this, I'm talking about like god awful country, like
the most low brow pandering that people can't actually sing,
but they're confident enough. I guess my algorithm just is
feeding me cringe country. Essentially, where Sam Hunt played college football,
U A.
Speaker 6: B Riley Green was Jacksonville Riley Green.
Speaker 4: So Riley Green was that Jacksonville State was going to start,
and then there was a transfer named Ryan Paralleu that
came in and beat Riley Green out.
Speaker 5: Not old, but like I didn't think he was that
Like I thought he was in his twenties. Yeah he's
thirty five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah he's uh he's a savvy vett like myself.
Speaker 3: You know, Sam Hunt Palmer, Yeah it was you a.
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not Mary. I don't know too much
Sam Hunt.
Speaker 3: I did. Yeah, that's when I go bro country.
Speaker 5: It's the bro country I know. Is like Morgan Wallin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Marker. Yeah. The only the only Hunt I
know is Mike uh so Jamal Chase. He couldn't like
I was like, Chase just won the Triple Crown. Guys, Uh,
did Bingles fans just get madhouse?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean you had the fifth wide receiver to ever
win the Triple Crown, you had a quarterback who played
at an m VP level, and you missed the playoffs
for the second year in a row. How does that
deal yourself a job?
Speaker 5: Did y'all see that dinner?
Speaker 4: I guess because the offense did good and then there
and then they honestly all jokes.
Speaker 3: Maybe Joe really loves him, and.
Speaker 6: Then the yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's that makes and
then you look at it was like super Bowl run,
no super Bowl run, but playoffs and then nine and eight,
nine and eight, so like it hasn't been disastrous. Yeah,
Like the Jake's points, it's like you're kind of in
a middle area where it's like do you fire him?
Speaker 3: Do you keep?
Speaker 4: And they kept Marvin Lewis around. Look, Marvin's a great coach,
but this is what he did. I mean, he would
always do it. He's made the playoffs seven years in
a row. So I'm saying you do enough to be like, hey,
how were we going to fire this guy? And I look,
it would be a conversation for me because you're right,
like you just had the Triple Crown winner and not
to mention, you had t Higgins and you had Joe Burrow,
who if you made the playoffs, he might have won MVP.
I mean probably the only reason he's not going to
because of the record.
Speaker 3: Again, the Triple Crown guys and receiving, were you leaving
yards touchdowns? It's been done five times out. Jamar Chies
is the fifth. He joins Cooper Cups, Steve Smith, Donior
Sterling Sharp and Jerry Rice the last three year all
Hall of Famers. Who knows her Cup Cup's career ends up,
but he is the potential to be Jamar Chase the
too oft Like that's that's what you just wasted. You
got masked man house. He's the coordinator.
Speaker 4: But that's so that's that's your move to try to
save face there and the line coach, right, they made
like for four or five minutes. Yeah, like Hunt points out,
I mean Trey Hendrickson also led the NFL in sacks
and so you even had like a defensive guy that
took games to lead in Yeah, he.
Speaker 2: Had three in the season finale against.
Speaker 4: How about how about Trey Hendrickson though, right, I can't do.
My man is raw dogging with no gloves, whereas long sleeves.
Every game has high school Harry I black and just
goes out there and just balls.
Speaker 3: Taylor, I need you to put together a top five
NFL players with no gloves, because Videvea and Trey Hendrickson
are They're one and two for sure. God is fun
to watch play football.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 3: I mean, well you seen his whole name? Is he?
It's like this, It's like is he human? Because he
looks too big to be an actual human from guys
to move around racing.
Speaker 6: Okay, so Juwan Johnson was killing the bucks in the
first half.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you see the first did you see the
first time?
Speaker 6: They contained him in the second half dropped back in
recovery and tackled him for like a three yard game?
Speaker 4: Like what the hell, dude, I would say, the goat
of no gloves this guy, Michael start, Michael stud Yeah,
that's gloves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you running backs? How often are the running backs?
Is everybody in gloves?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I remember?
Speaker 6: It was weird gloves all of them were speaking of
a guy in your era, Michael Ford did not wear
gloves weird.
Speaker 4: He had the strongest no tape on his wrist, his
raw dog from the shoulder to the finger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he could also bench like four forty or four. Yes.
I don't know his cousin your teammates, Bro, I don't
know Louisiana High School. I don't know where he's like,
I don't know you know.
Speaker 6: His cousin or nephew or something. Just one mister football
and he's a Lesville High School.
Speaker 4: Hell, anybody, can anybody tell me who maybe the two
most notable Leesville Wampus Cat players for Lshue history.
Speaker 3: Oh, I should know. I'm gonna be angry when you
say it because somebody said, no, I'm not gonna know
the high school hip in my tongue, there's one that
this one's probably gonna hurt t Bob if he doesn't
get it. I know that's what I'm saying. I know
there's somebody that I should know. Is there an alignment? Yep,
Kevin Malay. If you didn't get that, that's gonna be
bad past. The other was the running backs. I don't
know who Charles Oxander Cecil cecil look at me, I
guess I do know high school football.
Speaker 4: The fact that you threw cecil out there. Second, Well done, sir,
all right the diesel. Oh, I'm just glad I got
my way because that was gonna kill knew. I knew
that I that I that I should know.
Speaker 3: All right, when we get back, I want to talk
more about the LSU receivers here because the year that
they just had in the NFL is actually mind blowing.

Speaker 5: Me and my sister love this song, like we'll send

Speaker 2: Wait for it to end.
Speaker 3: Uh, And like I can't wait for Teabob to come

Speaker 5: I've heard this song.
Speaker 3: I mean, wait, wait wait. She jumped up and cut

Speaker 5: Listening to the radio.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, look man, she eats her own.
Speaker 2: I will say, as far as Luke Bryant goes, this
is one of my the ones I like the more
than others.
Speaker 3: Uh, where's our guy, Jordan Davis, where's he falls in
the broad country? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think he does all right.
Speaker 3: I think he does a little bit.
Speaker 2: Like the most part about wearing these boots. Though, our
closet is smelled so good.
Speaker 6: It was like use fresh leather and it's just not
gonna after three or four wears, it's just not gonna
smell it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But you can get some other leather stuff to
put in your closet. There's like a large, large market was.
Speaker 4: Telling me about this kit y'all had. It was all
leather stuff and you put in your closet and it
can be not there.
Speaker 3: It's a little you want, just got austice straps and everything.
Speaker 2: It doesn't stay in the bedroom closet. That's in the
hall class AH for community use.
Speaker 3: So so jamar Change finishes seventeen hundred yards. Second place
was Justin Jefferson at fifteen hundred seventeen touchdowns. Second was
Terry McLaurin, ironically with an LSU quarterback though into him
at thirteen TVs and one hundred and twenty seven catches.
Second place, I'm on Saint Brown with one fifteen uh,
Jamar Chase only twenty four years old. Somebody else find
that shocking. Feels like he's been in the league for
a while now. It'll only be twenty four. Jamar Chase
the youngest triple Crown winner ever. Yeah. I remember when
he came in LSU. He was he was young. Yeah,
I remember that kind of being a storyline.
Speaker 6: But three years before he got to the NFL. So
they break out to the NFL at twenty and what
this price?
Speaker 2: Fourth years?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, but I mean it's rare to me. Twenty six, yes,
would probably twenty eight is what year is he? And
he's in year five? Four? I think gotta be four.
At least super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Was his first year, and I think that was three
years ago, but this should be year four?
Speaker 3: How about this?
Speaker 4: No, if he's up for his contract, this is your
five because his first round pick here are in your fire.
Speaker 3: For me, I was like, twenty seven, twenty eight, Yeah
for sure, bro, I mean that's what you're supposed to
be generally.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is your four twenty one, twenty two to
twenty three Trobb Where Joe is right now?
Speaker 3: Huh No, Joe's in five? Nok about age wise, Joe's
gotta be old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's probably twenty seventh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rich yeah yeah. Anyway, here are the NFL's top
receivers yardage wise in the league. This is the entire NFL.
Number one, Jamar Chase seventeen hundred yards. Number two Justin
Jefferson fifteen hundred yards. Number three Brian Thomas Junior twelve
hundred yards. I mean, the top three receivers in the NFL.
Malik Neighbors finished seventh overall, and then shout out to
Ceedee Lamb, who, of course Louisiana born finished eighth.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: This is Jefferson's third fifteen hundred yard season already, guys,
the second most in a career behind Jerry Rice, who
had four. So Jamar or excuse me, Jefferson is coming
for that Jerry Rice record. Malik Neighbors one hundred and
nine catches. That's a Giants franchise record, NFL rookie record,
well wide receiver rookie record.
Speaker 4: No, no, I'm saying for the Giants ever. Oh yeah, yeah,
not like a Giants rookie record like that. Giants ever.
And that's one of the franchises that has been around
longer than anybody.
Speaker 3: It is actually an NFL wide receiver rookie record, ironically
only beat by Brock Bauers overall, who had one hundred
and twelve this season, both with bad quarterbacks. LSU. Now
with Brian Thomas and Milik Neighbors having such success, LSU
has top has five of the top eight rookie receiving
seasons of all time. There is no debate. Nowhere produces
NFL wide receivers like the State of Louisiana and the
flag Ship University of said state. I mean, the top
three yardage guys all from the same That doesn't make
any sense. And Brian Thomas is especially crazy to me
here because it with less catches than everybody around him,
only eighty seven catches compared to every other player on
this list has one hundred save for Jerry Judy, who's
at who's at ninety? Actually Lad mccaget eighty two also
really good big play average turn turnout. I mean what
I mean?
Speaker 4: I know we don't have time here, but I mean
just that those players were all together like so form
a Leak and BTJ and Jade and daniels Man. Gosh,
if you could just play quarters, yeah, you could just
stopped the bleeding.
Speaker 3: Sometimes we could have found quarters in the arcade Man.
Somebody very smart said that Power two coming up next
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
