Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn. Say Hester and Hester from carrying each
other to and Natty to carrying each other.
Speaker 2: On the air Control.
Speaker 1: Live from the Mercedes Benz Madden Rouge Studio. It's off
the Bench.
Speaker 3: Bart, all right, welcome back in. I remember three of
O t B. You know, we were talking earlier with EJ.
Manuel about Tyler shut coming from Louisville to the New
Orleans Saints. We don't often see quarterback battles in the NFL.
I was thinking about that. What he was saying, I
was like, you either have someone who is established, or
you drafted somebody that you're praying becomes like the established guy.
Speaker 4: Not very often do.
Speaker 3: You have a quarterback battle. But that's what the Saints have.
I mean, they have Spencer Rattler, They've got Tyler Schuck.
I mean they're gonna be going all training camp long,
fighting it out for this spot.
Speaker 4: Like in your NFL.
Speaker 5: Career, right, especially especially quarterback battles between two young two
young guys. That's true old that versus in the the
young guy. But usually there's always a plan in place.
That's why you draft young quarterbacks, even if it's not
first round, because of course if you're the top of
the first round, you're expected to.
Speaker 4: Go in and play immediately.
Speaker 5: But usually your second, third, fourth, fifth, guy like you
can you draft them because you got a guy there
and you're the grooming getting them ready all that stuff,
But I can. I'm trying to think that you mentioned that,
you bring it up. I'm trying to think of like
young quarterback battles, and we kind of potentially have.
Speaker 3: You like Will Levice, Melik Willis a little bit there Tennessee. Now,
neither one of those worked out. Malik Willis who I
think is actually really good. I was about saying, I
actually think they've been green Bay, you know, got a
long future in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Might but when he's gotten in the game, yeah, when.
Speaker 5: Jordan Love has been hurt up in Green Bay, Maliks
he's done really well for himself.
Speaker 3: So I just I wonder, and I bring it up
because I wonder how they're going to handle the reps.
Like we see quarterback battles in college all the time,
but in college it's different because you're always around the facility,
you're always that twenty hour rule they used to try
to sell to everybody.
Speaker 4: You're twenty hours by Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It felt like, okay, so you get a chance, and
you get more reps, you get more interaction, you get
a better idea.
Speaker 4: It's just not like that at the next level because you.
Speaker 3: Can only be there certain times and there's not a
lot of guys just hanging around the facility. Guys got families,
they got other obligations. Not that they're not doing what
they need to be doing. They are there getting it done,
and then they're going home. They're doing other things. So
I just wonder what the reps are going to look
like because in college, I feel like you get a
pretty good idea. I mean, how many times did you
have to repeat a play in college?
Speaker 4: Just repeat it, repeat it.
Speaker 3: You don't get that in the NFL, Like there's very
at least for me, Like there was some repeating, but
it wasn't because you got vets up there, Matt that
they're like, hey, my guy, if he doesn't got it,
we ain't doing it.
Speaker 4: And they'll tell the coach like, let's keep going. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think in the NFL when the reloads and the
running again, So that happened if it was like a
mental mistake within the interior of the play, like a
fullback went the wrong way or a tied end had
the wrong emotion. Like that would happen, right college, It's
more like you just screwed that up fly or that
looked ugly.
Speaker 4: Let's do it again, right.
Speaker 5: But quarterback battles, any battle really like any position, but
quarterback specifically, that is the heart, just one to control.
And every coach is gonna do it differently. And trust me,
I've been in a lot, a lot of quarterback battles
and there's you can either split it. There's lots of
ways to split the reps. You can split it by
you can split it by series. And we're talking about practice, like, yeah,
we're gonna take one practice and for this series, you're
gonna go in with the ones. You go, that's the
guy going with the twos. Next series, we'll switch it.
You can do it by practice. So when I was
in Seattle, there was a three way competition myself to
Forest Jackson, Russell Wilson, and we did it by day.
So you're the one today, you're the two today, you're
the three today.
Speaker 4: How did you like that? So there's pros and cons
to all of it.
Speaker 5: None of it is perfect, Okay, So I if I
have to look back on it, I think I like
the day better because the at least you got a
day that you could settle in, you weren't worried about, like,
all right, I gotta make it. I got to take
advantage of every single little rep I gotta go throw
a touchdown on whatever, because you got a whole day
to get familiar familiarize yourself with the center in the huddle,
with the guys around you. So that was probably the
biggest chance of like getting in a rhythm.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: However, just like anything, there's no perfect way to do it,
because you know, some days when you're doing that, you
might be the ones when they're installing third down blitz packages,
and it's like you get the it's a tough day.
It's always a tough stay for the offense the day
that they install like Bayer Defense. There's some there's some
days that are traditionally harder on the offense and the
defense just because of the install packages you put during
a training camp series. So it's like, well that kind
of sucked because like this other guy was on the
day that he was the ones he had. Yeah, it
was like guys wide open all over the place, but
I'm throwing it into tight coverage blah blah blah. But
it happens like that all the time. Like if I
look back at quarterback competitions, where it was, you know,
trading out by series or sometimes it was like, all right,
offense has ten plays in this specific series or this
segment of practice period, whatever whatever you want to call,
whatever your team calls it. All right, Matt, uh, JaMarcus,
you get the first five, Matt, you get the last five.
Speaker 3: That sucks, like because okay, see, I actually would have
thought maybe that that was more preferred because you get
involved each and every day and not like the by day.
Speaker 4: You're kind of the right.
Speaker 5: Again, there's no perfect way to do it, and I
was involved in a lot of different ways, and that
the other way is like you split a period like that,
or you the other way would be to switch a period,
like all right, JaMarcus, you have ten reps this period.
Speaker 4: Next period, Matt's going to get ten reps. Right.
Speaker 5: But then again, it's no, it's not an apples apples
comparison ever, because the defense isn't always doing the same thing.
You can't say, all right, Matt did this with this
personnel against this coverage and JaMarcus did this with that
same personnel versus the same coverage, because the defense is
calling different plays like it's there's no wait.
Speaker 4: So the coach has to be really cognizant over the.
Speaker 5: Overall picture of how a quarterback is communicating, how he's
getting through his progressions.
Speaker 4: And you're not ever grading on an apples to apples.
It's not ever. It's all right, not an objective situation.
Let's have let's have quarterback coach, Matt Flynn.
Speaker 3: If you've got the two guys right here behind us,
Spencer Rattler, who was a rookie last year, got a
handful of starts. You have Tyler shut coming in. We
all know his story, older quarterback for being a rookie quarterback.
But neither one of these guys has a full year
of starting in the NFL. Obviously, Okay, how would you
handle the reps between these two players as they try
to go win the job?
Speaker 5: M That's a good, good, good question. I would handle
it that day, just thinking back on how I as
a player like to do it better?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Are you thinking eventually that because if you rotate days
that like Spencer Ratler might get a sub day which
is third downs and you're going to get more of
that look, and then Shuck might have the first and
second on stuff. But if you flip it, eventually Shuck's
gonna have the sub day and Spencer's gonna.
Speaker 5: Have And like I said, there's no apples and apples comparison,
so it's all subjective. So you're gonna you just want
to see how they respond. But I think giving them
a full day, Spencer, you're the one today, Chuck You're
you're the one the next day.
Speaker 4: It gives them a full practice.
Speaker 5: You've got two hours to get in there and at
least get in a rhythm with your guys. Yeah, when
you get thrown in and out, when you're having to
come in and out, that's the worst. Like, that's why
I always hated two quarterback systems. They have worked at time.
Speaker 3: I know you hated it with you it's the worst,
which Miles, I really get out of rhythm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I come out of the game, we're gonna
I appreciate that. But here's why we're gonna keep doing it.
That's how it handled that I would do it by
day and that is coming from a guy with.
Speaker 4: A lot, a lot.
Speaker 3: That's why I actually, yeah, I was never. I was
never even you're an expert witness right now. Expert witness, yes,
but we're playing test.
Speaker 5: I've never done a competition like that, whereas day by
day until I got to Seattle and I was like,
all right, this is this is pretty good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can respect that.
Speaker 5: And and like you said, you get the you know,
one day might be more set up for failure on
a quarterback than another day. But it's like that in
practice too, Like if you're you're subbing out every period
or halfway through practice, whatever it is, there's going to
be periods that are more set up for failure and
more set up for success. So the coach, you got
to trust the coach, and these coaches for the Saints
do seem like quarterback guys, like they are very cognizant
of the fact that you know, we're not gonna we
need to grow with these guys, we need to build
around them.
Speaker 4: Yea. And based off of.
Speaker 3: What we've been hearing from guys coming on the show
from OTA's in mini camp, a lot to be at
least positive about, like let's not they're not. I don't
think we're popping any champagne by any means, but I
think we're gonna be I think Nick said it the
first time we interview him. I'm pretty sure we're gonna be.
Speaker 5: Not bad quarterback, right, yes, which is a really positive statement. So,
like one week into OTA's you got two really young
guys competing, which we never see.
Speaker 4: But I'm kind of I'm.
Speaker 3: Excited about there. The two guys that are competing. I
think they both are hungry football players. I think they
have both endeared themselves to the city, to the organization.
They're fully bought in. We never got that with Derek Carr.
When you look at Spencer Ratler, he was somebody out
of high school that had the highest marks, right, Everybody
was a believer in him. He was going to be
a first round pick when he was at Oklahoma. Didn't
work out for him. There, a guy named Caleb Williams
comes along. He goes to South Carolina, has some good
seasons there, there was flashes last year, and then you
get Tyler Shuck who's gone through injury.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: He goes through Oregon in Texas Tech, he goes to
Louisville finds kind of finally his home and he started
to thrive there. So there's some intrigued and some unknown
there too, which might be bad, but it might be good.
Speaker 5: I'm positive on it. Man, I'm intrigued by this battle.
I'm intrigued about how that position is going to look
because Spencer did some really good things this past year
with nothing around him. I mean, if you want to
draw up worst case scenario for a rookie quarterback, just
look back at what Spencer Ratler did last year.
Speaker 4: And I've always been a fan of he was in college.
Speaker 5: I know EJ brought it up earlier in the show
that like everybody kind of knew him from the Netflix
documentary Not Great in the Court of.
Speaker 4: Public Appeal exactly.
Speaker 3: And if look, if we were seventeen year olds and
the producer was telling us to ham it up do.
Speaker 4: Like this, No doubt that's what they do on those shows.
Speaker 3: Because I've like, and I've only interviewed him twice Home
rounding probably three times. He has been incredibly humble every
time I've been around him. I think that getting out
there and then the Oklahoma situation changed a lot for
him in a positive way.
Speaker 5: Definitely, So I'm excited to see it. Brennan in the
chat said, yeah, Matt lost, said battle what he's talking about. Yeah, sure,
Ed didn't lose it, just run out of just run
out of TI all right, we just ran out of time.
He won a battle.
Speaker 3: I mean, oh seven, you're starting quarterback, you started in
the NFL.
Speaker 4: You want some battles. It's fine, guys. I don't even
lose sleep about it. It's cool.
Speaker 3: Well, on that note, uh, whenever we're talking about practice
and somebody was asking why is every practice not the same,
It is the same, Like the format is the same.
Speaker 4: So you're gonna have you know, your individual drills.
Speaker 3: Which kind of self explanatory there, you're gonna go to
your certain position. You're gonna have seven on seven. You're
gonna have inside run. You're gonna have team where everybody
comes together. Inside run is going to be to nine
on seven period, Right, so you hear nine or seven
inside runs the same thing, but it's gonna be different
because on a sub day, like a third down day,
seven oh seven is gonna look different. Inside run is
probably gonna be some gun runs. Team's gonna be a
lot of third down situations. Like on the other day,
it's all those things are gonna be first and second
down situations. So it's the same theme seven or seven
inside run nine on sevent team, but it's gonna be
different players in and out, different personnels, and different plays
are being gone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, situationally, everything is always different, and you got to
think there's there's a lot of plays to install, both
offensively and defensively. So the first usually the first two
weeks of training camp is all install days. So day
one of install, I mean it's base base defense, base offense.
Are base plays, things that we can always fall back on,
things that we are gonna run that we will expand
upon with different formations and different you know, motions and
shifts and things like that to get Then you go,
day two, let's install third and short yep, well yeah
there's there's third down install. But as the offense continues
to install packages, the defense continues to install packages. So
one day might be Day one might be cover three
and cover four, next day's Cover two like and then
of course let's work on our zone pressures. Then third
down comes. You're working down third packages. So the defense
starts working thing. There's just you you slowly. You don't
install everything in one day. It slowly comes to you
over one to two week period. That's what training camps
are for. And so there are days that are more
set up for defenses to win and days more set
up for offenses win.
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, well it is Thursday,
it's gonna be the nine to fifteen segment.
Speaker 4: You know what that means.
Speaker 3: It is Chef Michael Johnson getting to your munchie questions.

our guy executive chef over at LSU, Chef, it is
always our pleasure.
Speaker 4: Hope you're doing well. I hope you enjoy watching the
boys get it done there.
Speaker 6: In Omahall, oh, man, that was exciting. Huh.
Speaker 3: Which, Hey, which one of the guys on the baseball team,
because they're not a normal baseball team. They're built a
little different. I mean that like actual body type who
puts down the food. Like does Bear Jones live up
to the nickname?
Speaker 6: Yeah? You know, I mean I think they all eat
pretty well, brother, you know, I mean sincerely, I'll say this,
you know, not that he eats more than one person
or another. But we see Daniel Dickinson in there a lot,
and he comes in for breakfast religiously, and man, I
can't say enough good things about that kid. He's so
respectful and just just characters there, you know, and all
the guys are. But I see him in particular a lot,
and we have conversation quite a bit. Just a great kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it certainly looks like it as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, chef the I was wondering, So you got a
lot of feed athletes daily, see a lot of them.
Athletes love to take care of their body. I think
in college they get a little bit low so than
you do as you age. But I'm sure you've seen
it all, like all the health fads, different diets, the ketos,
you know, carnivore, whatever it is. What's one athlete like
just obscure, weird diet from an athlete that you've ever
seen or had to deal with as a chef.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we and I don't ever use names.
If we did have one guy and I wouldn't say
this was a diet but more than a more of
a like a food insecurity. But he would only eat
Ramen noodles even while we were on the road, you know,
like pregame. He wouldn't eat the food that the hotel
would prepare. He would only eat ramen noodles because that's
what he was comfortable eating. And there was a sadness
to it. You know what I mean, Like I tried
and tried and tried, and you know, it just is
how he was he was raised. And then you have
the other end of the spectrum where you have kids
that are super adventurous and you know, like we served
octopus the other day and we had some kids trying octopus,
you know, like it we we pushed the envelope for
the ones that will try, and then you have to
you know, like build comfort and trust with the ones
who don't to try to open them up to you know,
not necessarily new foods, but it's just eating, eating well
and eating properly because you know, kids come from all
different backgrounds, and you know, you have to prepare yourself
for for all of that, and then anything in between
we try.
Speaker 5: Are we talking like old school like college kid ramen
noodles like the the Marishian whatever that the bag with
a chicken.
Speaker 6: Flavor Maruchin or something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yes, you used to go to a flight
of those puppies hashtag munchies. Follow up from three weeks
ago at a well known steak place, I ordered the
steak one thirty internal weight just glared at me for
the longest five seconds gave me a hard time then delivered.
Speaker 4: A perfect steak. Yeah, I don't know what hell we're
talking about here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well they will look at you like that. We
we were talking about cooking the steak to the proper temperature.
And it's it's a little it's kind of you know,
like everybody's everybody's you know, interpretation. A lot of times,
even chefs included, you know, like what what medium looks
like and and realistically it's you know, like it realistically
is determined by temperature and what that looks like when
it reaches that temperature and whether it's rested or not.
So you become familiar with people ask me all the time,
and you know, how long do you cook the steak for?
You cook it until what's done? You know, you cook
it until it's to the temperature that you're looking for.
And so you can avoid some of that. Well, you're
supposed to be something that you know, like I think
the chef will understand, but you know, there's the people
will look at you strange, like look this particular sob,
you know what I mean. But if you're the paying customer,
you know, like if you want to get it right
and you don't want to worry about it, become familiar
with the temperature.
Speaker 5: Yeah, chef, this music background like got me thinking about
drinking some like nice red wine.
Speaker 4: Are you like when you cook at home? Do you
do wine pairings you like? Do you base it like
on the protein that you're eating?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 4: What wine? Are you?
Speaker 3: Just? Like?
Speaker 4: Man? I like red wine or like white wine, whatever
it is.
Speaker 6: I mean, if I'm cooking fish and I want to
drink wine, I'm definitely gonna have it with, you know,
like a pinot or a or a you know, a
white I'm not I'm not, you know, I drink wine
that I like, you know what I mean. I don't
like dry white wines. I don't like dry wines in particular,
So I'm gonna pair it with something that I that
I like. Saviagnon Blanc honestly is a pretty broad stroking
white wine that will go with chicken or seafood really easily.
And so I've I've become accustomed to drinking Savignon blanc
over over a lot of other white wines. And then
you know, reds. I have particular white wines that I like,
like a medium bodied red, like a petite sera or
something of that nature, with heavier meats and fattier meats
and red meats and such. So I definitely enjoy And
you know, I like when I'm cooking at home, I
like to enjoy wine while I'm while I'm cooking, it
just kind of mellows you, and I think to some degree,
also while you're tasting the wine, you're building the flavors
of the dish and compliment whether it's whether consciously or unconsciously,
you know what I mean. It it just lends itself
to the palate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, also makes you feel pretty Yeah, it does.
Speaker 6: It does. It's weird anxiety of cooking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hashtag munchies.
Speaker 3: If you were to cook coach Jay Johnson a steak
to celebrate, what cut would it be and what would
your sides be?
Speaker 4: And then what wine would you pair with that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, I would cook him some beef cheeks,
something really special, you know what I mean, Like something
that he probably hasn't had before, and took a lot
of time and energy to get it there, right, you know,
slow and low. I mean, a steak is pretty simple
and easy, and I'm sure he would enjoy it. But
I'm probably gonna make something that takes a lot of
energy out of me to put into it that when
when eaten and consumed, it's like, my god, what did
I just eat? You know? And I think I think
beef cheeks is along that line, like it takes some preparation,
takes some time to cook, you know, it requires the
the energy of the chef, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Jeff hashtag munchies here. It's a good one because I've
done this before. I'm zero and three on cheesy scalloped potatoes.
Potatoes are never done in the allotted time. Given any
secrets or advice on these.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so slice them thinner. And you also want to
steam your potatoes. Blanch your potatoes. And when I say that,
a lot of people when they blanch them or steam them,
they take them too far. But before you put the
potatoes into the into the pan, you really should slice
them and dunk them into a steaming pot of water
to saw from them up, and then put them in
a colendar and let them steam dry. And you're not
trying to cook them to where they'll break. You're trying
to cook them to where they're more flexible. A lot
of people cook their potatoes cut their potatoes really thick,
so you're gonna have to cook it a little bit longer.
But you really need to blanch your potatoes ahead of time.
That's that's something a lot of people don't realize. And
also when you blanch them and then steam dry them,
you're removing a lot of the liquid out of the
potato because another another real common error is you put
raw potatoes into the pan and they start leaching water
out as they cook, and your your your put your
dish turns out soupy and watery. And so if you
partially cook them, you're actually going to allow them to
steam dry, and then the liquid from the from the
cheese sauce or your morne or whatever whatever whatever your
creamy liquid is is going to actually absorb into the
potatoes and help soften them as well.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm going to act like I knew what
chef was talking about, but go South asked the question,
did he say beef cheeks? Chef, I'll be honest with you,
said beef cheeks earlier, and I'm like, yeah, beef cheeks, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, beef cheeks. It's kind of like poor cheeks.
But beef. It's the it's a cheek cut from the cow, right,
and it takes some preparation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, talking about like face cheeks, about cheeks here, everybody's.
Speaker 6: Thinking of it comes from the fore end.
Speaker 4: Everybody was thinking. Everybody's thinking of hashtag munchies. How would
chef cook a chant clear? I'm sorry, what was that
chant to clear?
Speaker 3: How would you h how would you cook that? It's
a fancy ros as we talked about last week?
Speaker 6: Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah, yes, well roasted? Yeah no,
so you know that that's a rooster and and and
really realistically you don't cook them so you know, slow
and low, you're have to loosen them. That that's the
meat up. But you know, for for all intents and
purposes today, we're just gonna call it roasted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 5: Uh, Chef, I have like really been on this this
Asian food cook. I'm trying to make different dishes at
my house. I'm curious as to how you would do
at home, Like what sauces would you use in like
a just a standard like we'll go like a beef
for a chicken stir fry situation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I'm I'm a huge fan of yuzu. And
it's like this citrusy, soy sauce and I don't know, man,
it's just one of the things that I really love.
It's not it's not saturated with MSG. It doesn't have
all the nonsense and bs in it that you, you know,
have come to love the flavor of. But it's not
really good for you. I really like uzu and it
and it's and it it brightens up just about any dish.
And you you can get it at ethnic stores just
I mean there's ethnic stores all over the city that
you can get usu. You can order it online from Amazon.
But it's one of the things that I really like
to break the dish with.
Speaker 4: It's kind of what's the difference between uzu and ponzu sauce?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 6: What I think the fruit that's going into it? Yeah, uh.
And and I think zu also has fermented rice in it.
Perhaps I'm not, but they're very they're very similar. Yeah,
I'm sorry, ponzus soy in it. Uzu is not not soy.

because you'll been in this business a while too now,
Like Spider Harrison's a.
Speaker 4: Name that you always hear, like Spider gotta be eighty.

T Bop shut it down where it was like deer
a Landra instead of Dear Delilah whatever they call it.
Speaker 2: And I give people life advice, yeah, because I'm the
person be taking life advice.
Speaker 3: Exactly, and she pairs a song with it Kindah but
not Delilah.
Speaker 5: You've ever listen to her, So I grew up, we
listened to her a lot. We'd always like laugh and
like you wouldn't laugh at the story. So that's like
a little a little more of it, but like you know,
it's kind of funny sometimes, but you have to beginning
of the show, she's pretty straight laced, but.
Speaker 4: Like towards the end of the shows. It's probably because
it's a long show for her and a lot of
calls coming in.
Speaker 5: But we always would joke like the songs she's playing
don't have anything to do with like the callers, Like, no,
I think she's just drinking a glass of wine.
Speaker 4: Like every every partial break.
Speaker 3: Buddy, the whole show. I lost, I lost my business,
I have nothing. Okay, that's one scenario. Uh, my husband
is cheating on me, he's going away with someone else.
That's another scenario. I lost my house in a tornado.
So all those three scenarios, right, you know what you're
getting when beneath my wings, every single one of them.
She's got a perfect song for you, y'all.
Speaker 2: Give me a glass of wine in a segment, and
I will ruin so many lives.
