Speaker 1: Off the bench. We went to Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: I say Hester and Hester got it Finetta pa.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air foils. Brought Control live from the
Raisin Caine Studio.
Speaker 3: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back here off
the Bench, Hour number three Wednesday Show, brought to you
Byhea Dentil right here in the Raisin Kine Studio.
Speaker 4: Appreciate you everybody today.
Speaker 3: Hope everybody's having a wonderful day, beautiful day here in battery.
We are now joined by one of our favorite guests,
joining us every week during the season, Coach Kim Maulky.
Speaker 4: Coach, how you doing this morning?
Speaker 5: Good morning, doing great, Getting ready for good old Rocky
Top tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Uh, very good. Well.
Speaker 3: Jacob Passer, he's out, he's covering the NFL Combine this week,
so we are covering for him this week.
Speaker 4: So we we appreciate as always your time.
Speaker 3: So we it's been a couple I think it's been
a couple of weeks since we've been able to catch
up with you and kind of get a get a
rundown in here. Here's some of your thoughts so I
wanted to just start with a one question for you.
Last time that you kind of when you suffered a
loss at home to South Carolina, you kind of that game.
Your team followed it up with losing Mississippi State. This year,
you've writted off two big time wins in a row.
So what does that kind of say about the mentality
of this team.
Speaker 5: Well, you do sometimes kind of pout and still have
your petty party after a tough loss. And we have
gone on the road after tough loss at home and lost,
and we were not doing so hot in the old
miss game, but I think a lot of that had
to do with miss and we just kept grinding it
out and had a big fourth quarter and we got
out of there with a with a win, and then
came home to a Missouri team and God, was such
a great crowd. I was surprised over eleven thousand people
at that game. And now we got our last home
regular season game tomorrow and we will, you know, give
the seniors their dues and their jerseys and all that
good stuff, and hopefully you have a great crowd. It's
a tough time five pm for TV, but hopefully people
who come will take off work a little bit early
and get out there.
Speaker 3: I think the senior Day probably for LSU has got
to be a little bit different than a lot of
places around the country, just because of the support that
you get from the fan base all year long. I mean,
you just talked about eleven thousand plus people for the
Missouri game. So how emotional is that for the seniors
on that last day. I remember when I did it
last time in Tiger Stadium, it was very much you
have your family out there, and it's it's kind of
the end of an era. So just in your experience,
I know you've been through a lot of these senior days.
How important emotional does it get for those ladies.
Speaker 5: Well, certainly, you know when you take that uniform off
for the last time, it is emotional. The way I'm
going to approach it with Flage and and Mama is
you're not taking that uniform all for the last time.
We're going to get to host the first and second
round playoff games here, so that will be when you
play your last games in the p MAC. So I
don't know how emotional it will be if I kind
of approach it that way, But when those last games
are played, in the p MAC, especially for Flage because
she's spent all four years here not you know, she's
she's just everybody loves Flage and it will and it
should be emotional. What a wonderful part of her life
we got to share in. But you got to still
go play the game. So I think we'll keep perspective,
but also you can't help but get a little choked up.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: What a rarity it is for four years, the whole
college career in one place. What a great example that
is for college athletes at all sports all over the country.
So I do want to talk about the last game
against Missouri out rebounding I think sixty nine to twenty one.
Talk about that performance of what kind of goes into
dominating the boards like that.
Speaker 6: Well, what's really funny about that game is you know
the reports you have to turn in prior to the
game on if you're questionable to play, if you're a.
Speaker 5: Definite out, all that stuff. I guess we've put that
in several years ago because of gambling, and it was
maybe an hour before we see that number ten the
post player is out. So now that kind of makes.
Speaker 6: Us go, oh, what do we want to do because
Missouri played the style where they all shoot the three ball,
they spread you out on the floor, and I don't
really think our bigs need to do that or can
do it very effectively. So we had to quickly decide
do we stay with the lineup we were gonna start
or do we change? And I said, we're gonna stay
with the lineup we were gonna start, and then we'll
make adjustments after the game starts, and quickly we did.
We we went with really five douars, and I moved
Mikhayla Williams inside with Slaughterer, who played inside and out
but mostly out so to rebound like that when I
hardly played any post players other than.
Speaker 5: Johnson, and she can play both. So it was really
an entertaining game from that perspective. Scored a lot of points,
but it was the best defensive lineup we could put
on the floor.
Speaker 3: Coach before we kind of like look ahead to the
next couple of games, and then of course that is
se tournament coming up here show I didn't want to.
But one other thing that happened in the old miss game.
And you're known to be a fiery coach, a lot
of passion, a lot of intensity, which is awesome. That's
why we love you. You did have a great song
set of technical against Old Miss. And I've had coaches
like of all sorts of different types. Then they will
if you have an emotional reaction to something during the game,
kind of depending on the flow of the game. You know,
you take some penalties and you don't harp on it
too much. But there's other coaching points when something like
that is a technical foul like that happens, how do
you kind of handle it or decide how you're going
to handle different fouls like that throughout the course of
a game.
Speaker 5: Well, I make my decision right then it's not like
I tell the team's got a technical you're gonna get
benched or you know, not play. I size up the situation,
and it was a very intense game, and in that moment,
I felt like, you know, he was borderline kind of
not out of old but let's let's just get her
over here and keep the crowd out of it. She
by no means tried to hurt the young lady. I
thought it was a good hard foul. If you look
at it, she hits all ball hard. The part that
you know made me take her out was you know,
the taunting afterwards and the crowd is all the.
Speaker 2: Pride.
Speaker 5: It took her out, but I had no idea the
TV cameras got in her face like they did, and
there were some extra things going on, you know, from
Grace on the bench. But I have since learned more that.
You know, you had the football team from Ole Miss
sitting there harassing her. You had the student section if
you go look at the pictures flipping her off. You
had all kinds of things going on. And so, as
I told Grace, you have to keep a cool head
and a hot game, and I don't ever want you
to lose your fire. That's what makes you who you are.
I coached with fire, but you have to control it,
especially on the road and especially when you're behind. Because
that particular play cost us six points. They got three
free throws out of the four they shot, and then
they hit a big three. So it's a teaching moment.
But Grace is just a joy to coach. I love
the fire about her. You know, I've coached many that
have fired in their belly, Angel Reese, Alexis Morris, the
list goes on. Don't lose your fire. But kind of
protect her in that moment by taking her out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I know that it's it's easy to it's
way easier to turn down a fire, especially in different
times and teach that, like you just said, than trying
to light a fire. So that's a that's a good
problem to have, and like you said, it's a good
coaching moment.
Speaker 4: Coach.
Speaker 3: So your team sitting a fourth in the SEC looking
at you know, potential a double buy in the tournament
coming up. So how important are these next two games
for you?
Speaker 5: Well, you're playing for a bye. That's exactly right, Tennessee. Oh,
miss l s U. We're all there, and uh it
is important. That means you wouldn't have to play until Friday. Uh,
and you know it's it's just it's important, and uh
we shared that with them. We've got to win. I
think one I was told of the next two to
clinch buck by, So we'll see if we can't.
Speaker 4: H hud. I kind of broke up on us there.
I think we lost it for a second. You're still there,
I'm here, I'm here, all right? Good? Okay.
Speaker 3: How important has Malaysia full whiley been for you? Especially
a lot of times coming off the bench, but playing
a lot of minutes, of course, but coming off to
how important has she been to this team?
Speaker 5: Well, she just has skills that you can't coach. You
eat it, born with it. And she's so quick. I
think a stat people don't realize she's like eighth Bigue
in block shots and she's definitely the shortest one to
have that many block shots. So that just tells you
not only does she have speed and leaping ability, she
just plays with a flare and an excitement that pumps
you up. And if you're on the floor with her,
it makes you play even harder because you better move
because she's gonna be moving now. She may make some
bad passes and do some things that might drive you
crazy in the moment, but just give her a chance
and she's gonna make it up, all right.
Speaker 3: Coach, I gotta ask you, Oh, I think I asked
you two weeks ago about the about the Olympics if
you had been tuned into the Olympics, But I got
to follow up on it. If you were like most
of America the other day tuning in to the hockey
met both the both the women's and the men's hockey
gold medal wins versus Canada.
Speaker 5: Are you kidding? Of course I did. Really, it's amazing.
Timing man is everything. So my friend she's texting, are
you watching his hockey? Are you watching his hockey? So
I was like, I'm going to I've got a I've
got a house full of people. I'm gonna turn it
on in a minute. I literally walked into my kitchen
and turned the TV on because it just gotten in
and it wasn't I guarantee you less than a minute.
I got to see it live. The goalie for the
USA blocked that Canadian shot and then that kid ran,
not ran, but skated down the floor and it was
almost like a fast break, if I can use those
terms in hockey. And when I saw that goal go
in and the helmet went flying in the air, you
just got chill bumps. And having been fortunate to be
an Olympian, I thought, they're so excited now, I said,
but watch the tears flow when they get on that
podium in the national anthem place because you realize what
did we just do? And it's the greatest feeling in
the world. And then I got a little choked up
when I saw go and acknowledge the family of the
two brothers that were killed and grabbed their children, that
that just touches you, and uh, you know, it was
just one of those moments. I can go back and
remember watching Miracle on Ice and watching all that, and
then to basically see it again during this era. We'll
never forget it.
Speaker 3: It was such a watching those games. It was such
an emotional roller coaster because I don't remember having a
sports watching experience that I was so intense and emotional
watching and just because you got the you got the
Patriots says that you got to you got everything and
had a great game and all that, and then like
you said, they they honered the family. So there were
so many emotions and it was it was so cool
just everybody from Costacosa all over the country just kind
of united behind sport, which is one of the great
things about sport and one of the cool stories that
I have read and learned about since that game. They're
calling her the mom of America. Ellen Hughes had two
sons on that team and her daughter on the women's team.
Speaker 4: So three years.
Speaker 5: No I kept up with that, and I thought, yes,
you know, certainly the men are getting all the attention,
but I keep up with all of it. I watched
every bit of it, from Von falling to you know,
other sports, curling, y'all turn the TV on and I'm like,
what is this curling? And I'm like, are you kidding me?
And I sat and watched that. I watched bits and
pieces of the closing ceremony. I didn't get a chance
to watch the opening ceremony. But think about this, We're
athletes from the sports of football, baseball, you know, hot
summer sports. To watch winter sports is a foreign deal
in my mind because we didn't grow up doing that.
But what it does is those three letters USA bring
it to your attention. But then the competitiveness. You may
not know anything about hockey. I don't know the details
of hockey, but I know competitors. I know people out
there just trying to win a gold medal, and it
draws your attention. And you don't have to love the sport.
It's just the fact that it's competition and it's from
your country.
Speaker 3: At the skill level that those athletes on all the
different sports is absolutely incredible, especially just like you said,
us coming from the South.
Speaker 4: Not knowing anything about it.
Speaker 3: What they do is so foreign, it's wild and the
skill set is incredible, man, and a lot of fun
to watch, so we appreciate it. Coach, thank you for
your time. Good luck tomorrow against Tennessee and we will
all be watching, We'll be cheering and look forward to
continue talking to you hopefully next week.
Speaker 5: Sounds good. Take care now, all right, thanks gatch.
Speaker 3: All right, there she is, Coach Kim olk awesome, incredible
USA by somebody talked to her. She'd only been watching caroling.
She'd been locked in those three letters, L, S, U
and USA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like competitors, love competitors, especially the best of
the best. And she's the best of the best.
Speaker 3: She is the best of the best, and she's the
best of the best. Person having off the bench too awesome,
So we think, Coach Kim Molki, good.
Speaker 4: Luck to them.
Speaker 3: Hopefully they hopefully they went out. If they win tomorrow,
Taylor win tomorrow, they get they get, Yeah, they lock
it up.
Speaker 4: Okay, they're good. All right, Well, well, uh we're gonna breakdown.

Speaker 7: Uh what they do?
Speaker 4: Now? It wasn't Jerry, Why do you care?
Speaker 2: What do you mean you're not a fan of them?
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't care. Actually I was. I was
testing you guys to see if you guys cared.
Speaker 2: It was uh classic gas lighting?
Speaker 4: Classic. Do you have cowboy underwear on right now?
Speaker 7: Probably?
Speaker 2: He has a Cowboys cup on his desk.
Speaker 7: Okay, in fairness, I did not buy that. I was
given that and I've never used it.
Speaker 4: Okay, still on his I will say that like a
free cups if.
Speaker 2: You bought me a Dallas Mavericks cup. I would not
have it on my desk, But.
Speaker 4: I don't think Taylor hates them. You hate the Mavericks, right, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know if I necessarily hate them, but I don't
go for them, and I go for the Spurs, So
I'm not putting a Mavericks cup on my desk. He
goes for the Buccaneers. He is a Buccaneers fan, has
a Cowboys cup on his desk. I think he's closeted.
Speaker 3: He's a fake fan. It's I think in his brain
he wanted to be a Buccaneers fan.
Speaker 4: In his heart, he can't. He can't.
Speaker 2: You can't convince the heart. Can bath like yourself up
here as much as you.
Speaker 8: Want, You can't make yourself fall out of love. Time
wasn't supposed to be with this rebuttal, This wasn't just
supposed to be. Okay, that cup is so old that
Casey Gains gave it to me when he worked here.
He hadn't been here in like three years. Classic like
Ezekiel Elliott's on that cillup. He retired like three years ago.
Feed Zeke feed them a little too much?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 3: He returned, speaking of how trash was that fine he
got for jumping in the Salvation Army.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's the Salvation Army.
Speaker 4: You put things in the bucket and the.
Speaker 2: Fine did they donate it to the Salvation Army or
did the NFL's greedy ass keep it?
Speaker 7: Oh, they kept it.
Speaker 4: I will say that all fines in the NFL do
go to organ is the Oh do they? I'm pretty
sure that's how I remember it.
Speaker 3: At least I got fined once unnecessary roughness, No big
deal on the quarter.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wouldn't even get mad about that fine.
Speaker 4: Accidentally, Oh, it was an accident.
Speaker 3: It was an accident, and there was there is like
it was in Arizona and they had a calm. It
was like we were in the red zone too. So
I probably shouldn't have thrown that interception trying to make
a play. Trying to make a play, coach, it's all
throw touchdowns without throwing picks.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And they had a convoy down and so obviously I'm
super fast, so I like, I like, take this incredible angle, unbelievable.
I get out in front of the convoy and they're
coming at me and he's got like three lead blockers
in front of him. I'm like, well, I'm not gonna
make this play, but I don't want him to score
a touchdown. I'm a football player. Defenders do this all
the time. So I cut the lead guy in the knees,
flip him over, no big deal, like a boss. And
the runner bulk carrier has to like cut back around
me and he gets tackled.
Speaker 7: So we saved the touchdown. That's an assist to tackle
in my book.
Speaker 3: Well, got a little FedEx envelope in my locker on Tuesday,
got fined.
Speaker 4: Five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: When you're with the Seahawks, No.
Speaker 3: I was a Green Bay This was two thousand and nine,
probably last game of the season, so it was probably
week seventeen, last game of the season. We actually blew
them out, so I was in at.
Speaker 4: The end of the game.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're both actually pretty good. I think they were
actually pretty good.
Speaker 3: So they That was Kurt one was when the last
season it was the last game of the season and
they beat us and we were We blew them out that.
Speaker 7: Day, so they went to the super Bowl the year before.
Speaker 3: They beat us the first round of playoffs. The next
week we had to go back the Arizona to play them.
Speaker 4: The next week. I don't know if you're gonna find
that one, but I'm trying. That's a deep cut right there.
Speaker 2: I mean, I find I found some Week seventeen highlights.
I just need to see if you're in them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it would be a highlight for the other team. Anyway.
Speaker 3: They the Cowboys were, and if you find it, please
let me know because I would love to see me
just dominate that guy.
Speaker 4: I probably I probably just like flop down on the ground.
Speaker 2: No, but there's one of you sweeping the referee with
a baseball slide. Really yeah versus the Falcons, No.
Speaker 4: Big deal, I got him.
Speaker 7: I usually on a Macula grid yesterday was playing that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you took this ref out.
Speaker 7: I want to see immaculate grid. You ever played that game? No,
so it gives you an empty grid. It's like, name
me a guy that played for this team in this
team and one grid loved and it' said Packer Seahawks,
And I was like, I know a guy.
Speaker 3: I know a guy nailed it. Yeah, if you find it,
let me know. I do want to see that break though,
me crushing that reff. But the Cowboys were in Stephen Jones,
offspring of Jerry.
Speaker 4: He was in a.
Speaker 3: It was a pretty innocent interview, right, but it made headlines.
It got a lot of people nationally talking about how
they wanted they were probably going to franchise tag George Pickens.
Pickens had an incredible seasons, but he had ninety three
receptions fourteen nine yards. That's over fifteen yards per catch,
nine touchdown. He was ranked third in the NFL in
yards eight with those receptions. Like to compare his yards
to like, you know, Saints fans olave had eleven sixty three.
Pickens as the number two to start the year had
almost fifteen hundred yards receiving, so it had an incredible year.
Obviously comes over to Dallas from had some little behavioral issues,
some youthfulness happening when he was with the Steelers. But
it got me kind of like thinking about the franchise tag,
Like if they were to franchise George Pickens, it's a
twenty eight million dollar hit on the salary cap for
the year.
Speaker 4: So it's a big salary cap hit. Why would they
not want to?
Speaker 3: Like players do not like to get franchise dag And
we hear it every year as football fans, as NFL fans,
we hear that franchise tag being thrown around, and like
I thought most I thought teams used it more often
than they did last year. There was only two teams
that used the franchise tag last season. It was t
Higgins with the Bengals and then Tray Smith the Kansas
City Guard. Those are the only two people that had
to tag. I thought it was more widely spread than that.
I was kind of surprised by that to kind of
like bring it back home. The Saints have only used it,
let's see, six times since it was introduced in nineteen
ninety three. I guess the biggest ones would have been
I think Drew Brees got it in twenty twelve, Jimmy
Graham got it in twenty fourteen, so it's not widely used.
And I also didn't know that you can tag somebody.
So the window right now, there's like a two week
window that you can tag. So it opened February seventeenth.
They closed this March third. The new NFL league season
opens up the eleventh, I believe, but they have until
the two sides have until July fifteenth to get a
long term deal done. Then the franchise tag goes away.
So a lot of times people are tagged in order
to get a deal done, but they if they don't
get it done by July fifteenth, then it's done. You
can't sign a new deal. It's a one yard situation
and they can only tag people that are unrestricted free agents,
not restricted free agents.
Speaker 4: So I found all that fascinating.
Speaker 3: And then we heard a couple of days ago the
Falcons franchise tag Kyle Pitts their tight end and but
the tight end hit is sixteen million, so it's a
little bit less than some of the other positions, but
the tight end position sixty million, And basically they are
tagging their lead receiver, so a receiver's tag has to
be twenty eight million. Kyle Pitts was their leading receiver,
but he's classified as a tight end. He had nine
hun or twenty eight yards eighty eight reception. His kind
of like breakout. Yeah, I am pretty good, even though
I sucked the last couple of years, I am pretty good.
So I just found that fascinating and it got me
wondering do the Saints have would is that in Mickey
Limis's tool belt to use a franchise tag, what position
would you do? Is there anybody you would you would
think about franch I meant to ask Nick that yesterday
and just didn't get around to it.
Speaker 4: No, Nick's a little long with it. Yeah, a little longer.
Speaker 7: Found it.
Speaker 4: You found it?
Speaker 7: Found it?
Speaker 4: Oh my god? Do we need to play it?
Speaker 2: We do, But we could do it when we come back,
because I'll give you the time stamp tape real quick.
Speaker 4: Though, from a Saints perspective, like, do you see them?
I don't think they've used it.
Speaker 3: The last time the Saints use a franchise tag was
in twenty twenty one, the US it on Marcus Williams.
Do you see them utilizing that in the off season?
Speaker 7: Or that's Jim Jordan would be the one to go
with him?
Speaker 2: Or I know he, I know he he thinks differently
than Cam Jordan.
Speaker 7: But him or de Mario the km's thirty seven, people
think he's lost the stuff. But Kim Jordan at ten
and a half sacks a year ago, he was actually
better last year than he was the year before. So
that's a guy. Could you franchise tag him, try to
work out a long term deal. If not, he's thirty seven,
he plays on.
Speaker 3: The franchise tag and the only problem with the franchise is, like,
you sign a long term deal. That's one of the
Cowboys like, what are you doing? Like they like this
is when that this is their season starts, when the
real season ends. Their season is the offseason. This is
when they make their headlines. It's twenty eight million against
a cap. You signed somebody to long term deal. The
ways to manipulate do the salary cap gymnastic? Like defensive
end if we did Cam George, if the Saints did
sign him, that's a twenty seven point three million dollar hit. Now,
Nick kind of blew my mind yesterday that whole like
back money average of three years situation. I didn't really
I understood it when he was talking about it, but
I never had been aware that like yet, like it
was a rotating three year of a minimum that you
have to spend. But I can tell you players don't
like it, players don't want it, and it'll piss you off.
So if you got a guy like George Pickens, who's
been known to have some behavioral situations, that's probably not
the best. So like what do you do in Cowboys?
But again we say that every off season, what are
you doing? Literally guess what we're talking about right now.
Batt and Rige, Louisiana, the cowboys, the dumb cowboys, making
jer he's excited that he's in the news cycle, making
Taylor's heartbound.
Speaker 2: Yeah, giving him PTSD.
Speaker 3: That's right, all right, Well, go to break and when
we come back. I guess Landra found at the clip
of me throwing an interception in the red zone and
then trucking the other guy absolutely truck I'm sure they
got I don't know if he ever walked again.
Speaker 7: Yeah, did he play after that? That career end?
Speaker 4: Probably Quip. Probably Quip broke his leg, probably broke his head.
Speaker 3: All the stuff, the old broken head, the old broken head.
Lindsay's bond surgery is bad. You should have seen this guy.
Speaker 7: He had thirteen surgeries.
Speaker 2: Beat him all right, he jogged off all casual.
Speaker 4: Don't worry. We got that coming from you when we
come back from break.

grocery store, local markets. Born and bred, raised right here
in Louisiana, but all across the Gulf South. If if
you were just getting loaded up on some just the
standard groceries, the Staples, perfect place for that, incredible grocery store, clean,
great staff. I can tell you what we were doing
the we did the lives there all every Friday during
the football season. I got there at six fifteen. There
was forty people working there getting ready for you, getting
ready for their customers, because that's what they care about.
Speaker 4: Don't care about the Louisiana customers. So good check out.
Go to roussies dot com.

Speaker 4: So go check it out. How you can save right there. Rouses.
Speaker 3: Go check them out rauses market Rouses dot com. Boy,
So did I talk it up? How hard I laid
the wood?
Speaker 7: I actually stopped it. I haven't seen it, oh boy?
Speaker 4: So all right, we'll play hold on.
Speaker 3: This is okay, this is like week seventeen of the season.
This is two thousand and nine. This is my second year,
so sophomore campaign. It's backup for one thing. I hate
going in in mop up duty. I hated it in college.
I hate in the NFL. It's just a no win situation.
Speaker 4: People.
Speaker 3: Well, it's experience, it's experienced whatever. Not Really, nobody wants
to be there. I just want to try to end
the game. Well, we're in the red zone, yea. I
had a great opportunity to just pad the stats a
little bit. I don't even know. I don't even remember
what the play was called. I bet it was like
Denver at the bottom, which is like triple slants. Probably
throw a pick to the nickel. I don't know who
it is. I'm just gonna guess. Let's play it right here.
You're watching it on YouTube. You can check it out
and see.
Speaker 4: How bad I was. Oh yeah, come on, I should
have gone to the bottom.
Speaker 7: You actually nailed the play though, Oh no, look at
the wheels.
Speaker 4: Boom nailed that guy? He's hurt?
Speaker 7: Was it that one?
Speaker 4: That was it? Fine?
Speaker 2: I'm underwhelmed.
Speaker 3: Fine, five thousand dollars as a second year, seventh round
pick making that league minimum. What a bad play by
me that I didn't want to be there excuses I
should have been cut after that play. See this is
like when we do your career, we we do the
like the film reviews like this this past season watching
the LSU games and talking about different film. It's easy
to watch film, right, it's not easy to play the game.
It's easy to watch film. You should have done this,
should have done that. I said it on the show
a lot and talk to me. I was like, we
should do a breakdown where I go break down myself. Yeah,
and I'll show you how. Like not great that was
because everybody, like everybody's got bad. You can you can
poking pride, you can nitpick, and like when I did
those film reviews, like when I wrote the articles for
losing on Sports on Net, like I tried to make
it as clear as I could early on, like, hey, look,
everybody looks bad in every game for multiple plays.
Speaker 4: What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 7: Plus because forty nine, which is probably for Shaw Johnson,
he was right there too. There were two guys coming
to block you. You were almost.
Speaker 4: Protecting yourself, but that guy's trying to kill me with
a crown of his help.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie if you showed me. This still
shot right here. I would think you were the one
that got taken out, not me, the one like it
in his No.
Speaker 4: He's probably can cast there. That's a sock you should
have got.
Speaker 7: You should have a little bit. It's the only thing.
Speaker 2: I'm just.
Speaker 4: So frustrated.
Speaker 7: But I watch like, so you you actually nailed it,
the like sants at the bottom, you do throw the
pic to the nickels. You actually you actually got it
new exactly like what he comes over.
Speaker 5: But.
Speaker 7: One there were two guys right here blocking you that
they had to look, nobody's nobody's blocking your own line.
Speaker 4: And what am I supposed to do? This guy's coming
out with a crown of his helmet.
Speaker 2: Those arms were pumping.
Speaker 7: Also, look how early you go for the block. He
had time to get out of the way, and he did.
He did.
Speaker 4: I should have been fined.
Speaker 2: It's more like he tripped over you than you trucked him.
Speaker 4: Well, he was trying to hit me to the crown
of his helmet.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he should have thought you were going down to
protect yourself. It's just like if you would have taken
off a run and slid, you don't get fined for that.
Speaker 2: Right, Wait, let me find the referee.
Speaker 5: One.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't have got fined for that five thousand. I
was actually kind of proud of it. I still have
the paper. I still have the fine paper. It says
you were fined for unnecessary roughness.
Speaker 2: You have it framed.
Speaker 4: I didn't frame it, but I saved it.
Speaker 2: I just put the one in there.
Speaker 7: Your teammates could have done a better job of helping
you out there. That dude ran a long way even
after cutting back.
Speaker 4: Well, no one's as fast as me, so that's the thing.
Speaker 7: And maybe that's it.
Speaker 4: But I'd like to get a clock on that.
Speaker 7: I mean, if you're going to if you're gonna get
fined five grand, make it count. And your teammate's gonna
let you down on that one. I thought it was
great on your part.
Speaker 4: Think I had bad intentions.
Speaker 7: This is a video of a.
Speaker 2: TV screen, so it's gonna look bad.
Speaker 7: That was a cold game, But it's like almost snowing.
Speaker 2: This is where you truck the or you don't try
you slide into him.
Speaker 4: This is a cold game, as you can tell.
Speaker 7: Look at you that.
Speaker 2: So let me take off again.
Speaker 4: I got him.
Speaker 7: I gotta tell you, Matt. He seemed intentional at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's two minuteser. I was already coming up
saying strong, right, that's three by one to the right.
Dominated We won that game.
Speaker 2: Forty nine minutes of silence.
Speaker 7: Look, this is this was the next YouTube video that
popped up. You want to watch forty nine minutes of silence?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 7: Hang on? Let me play it to make sure it's
Is it just a black screen?
Speaker 4: That's your look. I think that's your algorithm. We're playing
right now.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 7: Look, it's a black screen too. You can't even watch anything.
Speaker 4: How many views does it have?
Speaker 7: Probably too minute.
Speaker 3: Smash the button, Yeah, Daniel Blunt, I get it. They
had like half the team that cirl flat.
Speaker 7: I think it's fifty one thousand views. It football is hard.
Speaker 4: Man probably got a minus on that play.
Speaker 7: The headline of this video NFL's funniest that Flynn sweeps
referee with a baseball slide.
Speaker 2: You really did slide into him. You're trying to clete him.
Speaker 7: That was trying into his crew two. That was so
that game was gonna say safe thou. Look with this,
let's go back to this, Matt. You almost took out
two birds with one stone here buddy. These refts are
right next to each other. Yeah, that's like five degrees
real temperature. There's two refts right there. Oh that is
a player. Well you almost took out two.
Speaker 4: Sit down zebra, You.
Speaker 2: And zebra hunting.
Speaker 4: Zebra hunting?
Speaker 2: Good time.
Speaker 4: I look coold.
Speaker 3: So with the first opening drive of that game, so
it was like four or five degrees, it was really cold,
and that field is icy right there, and it has
heated coils underneath it, so it heats up the field.
Speaker 4: And it's still like that.
Speaker 3: The first drive of the game was like fifteen plays
and we're inside the five yard line and I'm pretty
sure I had to call a time out because I
couldn't feel my hands. I was like, I've been out
here for so long, like usually go to the sideline.
You got, you got the space heater I had, gret.
I wasn't complaining, just couldn't film my hands. And it's
kind of important. We're back's the only person that touches
the ball every play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that ref was scared.
Speaker 2: You didn't have the little thing.
Speaker 3: Oh I did, Yeah, but my hand warmers were there's
they can produce some heat, yeah, but not enough enough.
Speaker 7: I get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, well, anyway, a nice little blast in the past.
You're sticking with us here on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Anyhow, Well, I don't want to break down my film
because it would not be great. It'd be some good,
it'd be some bad, just like everybody. But what I
was saying was when I was doing those breakdowns for
LSU football and writing the article this year, because I'm
a poolish arder, I was sure to preface it with like, look,
I'm cherry picking these plays to like tell you what's
going on, to educate, to teach a little bit on
the x's and o's, but like, everybody's got bad plays now.
At some point of the season, it was like, I'm
going to show you this play and there's like fifty
behind it that are the same thing. But you know,
everybody looks good, even even Tom Brady. You could pull
up any game he ever played in and you could
break down a play that he would be like, Oh
that was bad, Yeah, that was bad. I should have
done that throat.
Speaker 2: You remember that Sunday Conversations that I sent you with
Bernanda Mendoza. Okay, he did one with Tom Brady and
he trapped him. I don't remember what it was. I'll
look it up and I'll tell you about it in
the next segment. But it was something like some mistake
that Tom Brady made, like in the super Bowl or something.
Speaker 3: See everybody, Yeah, yeah, I've been like my timeline is
filled with like Tom Brady clips from his combine and
how terrible he looked.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, went on to become the.
Speaker 2: Greatest soft bodied as hell.
Speaker 4: Yeah he does.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, that was a nice trip down memory lane.
