Speaker 1: Please get broken down, then science gets denied.
Speaker 2: This I got to come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench live from downtown Baton
Rouge starts.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in our number two of Off
the Bench, Jake Flynn, Alandra Tata all here with you
our number one breaking down the LSU victory over Louisiana Tech.
And now we'll go to the New Orleans Saints and
they fall twenty to thirteen to the Arizona Cardinals. Now,
when you look at kind of the tail of the
tape in this one, first downs, Saint ten more first downs,
twenty one to nineteen, total yards, Saint ten more total
yards three fifteen to two seventy six.
Speaker 2: They had more passing yards.
Speaker 4: Arizona didn't beat them in the rushing yardage total one
to one oh seven.
Speaker 2: But you know you you had some moments you moved
the football.
Speaker 4: Now, the thirteen penalties were certainly something that is going
to hurt any difference the win loss. Colin, Yeah, I agree,
I agree. So it was not a clean game for
the New Orleans Saints. But look, you've got a young quarterback,
you've got a young head coach, you've it's not all
going to follow them. I'm saying, you had, you know,
some some some new. You had some new out there
for the first time. Really like Spencer Ratler, it's like
his team, like he's the guy. Uh, But thirteen penalties
in the National Football League is going to get you
beat almost every single time. But I will say this
as far as like the operation of Spencer Rattler, like
handling all the different situations, I do think that he
handled as well, Like certainly at the end of the
game situation like he's moving them down the field. And
look the last play, the last throw. You hear me
say it all the time. Never in the history of
football has a past been completed out of bounds like
you got to give your guy a chance. I understand
that that's on Spencer Ratler. But that throw before the
Juwan Johnson was a dime. That was, Hey, I've got
a large tight end. I'm gonna throw it up on
his back shoulder. I'm gonna let him jump up, go
get it and come down in the end zone. And
we got a chance and it was in his hands.
He actually was coming down with it and not able
to hold onto it.
Speaker 2: I mean, Spencer.
Speaker 4: Ratler made the throw that he had to make to
at least go tie the game up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought the Cardinals came out with a pretty
good defensive plan against the Saints. They basically played over
the top coverage and it was more of a bend
and don't break mentality.
Speaker 2: Against the Saints. They said, we're.
Speaker 5: Gonna make your young quarterback and your foster that is
then on the offensive line that has talent at wide
receiver but still a little thin as far as depth goes.
Speaker 2: We know they can beat us deep. We know they
can blow the top off it.
Speaker 5: So let's take that part of the game away and
make them beat us in other ways. Make them go eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen play drives in order to score. That was their
game plan. It's like the old one used to play
the Bears. That's how the Bears. Bears used to be
in their locker. It was like, ben, don't break, we
don't care if you get into the red zone. It's fine,
kick field goal. We're good with it. And that was
the kind of mentality. So it was a little bit frustrating,
probably for Saints fans, because they're like, all right, push
the ball, throw it deep, dude, push, like, take some
more shots.
Speaker 2: It just wasn't there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what the Cardinals are wanting to try
to bait a young quarterback into doing.
Speaker 5: Fortunately like and having him get frustrated, right, And Spencer
did not get frustrated with having to take the checkdowns.
Now he you'd like to see a little bit more
aggressive play calling here and there, Like you got to
look at the whole thing. That's Kellen Moore's first game
as a head coach and he's calling plays and head
coaching responsibilities and inexcusable, inexcusable no timeout at the end
of the half. Yep, there's no reason not. You have
to be a little You can't be that conservative as
a head coach. Like I kind of like jokingly on Twitter,
I was like, do you think you forgot to like
that it was his decision to make like because he
was so focused on the next play, like calling the play.
I don't think so, but like it just kind of
it was that obvious that you do it was it
was over. I think it was a minute ten left.
You take the time out right there and you maybe
give yourself a shot. Then there's twenty something seconds left
and you take a knee on the ball, you go
into half. Well, you saw it last night with I
think Josh Allen and the Bills got the ball on
the end of the second or into the second quarter
with like twenty seconds left, two big plays, kick a
field goal, and how much momentum does that carry.
Speaker 2: Of course you don't have Josh Allen.
Speaker 5: I mean, no one's no one's mistaken Rattler for Josh
Allen right now. But I thought Rattler played pretty darn well.
I'm not gonna really well, I'm not gonna say he
played great, but he didn't play average.
Speaker 2: He didn't play bad, and he was not the issue yesterday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, only to one sack, which yeah, so give surprising,
like I give credit to the Cardinals for playing a
really good, you know, really good scheme on us a
Ben don't break out of attitude.
Speaker 5: But I know that there's kind of like people saying,
you know, the kind of Spencer Ratler played mid played average,
you know whatever, wasn't exciting. He did give what they
and I want to like compare him a little bit
to some of the other quarterbacks across the league. So
Spencer Ratler yesterday twenty seven of forty six two hundred
and fourteen yards. Of course, no touchdowns, but no interceptions
as well. Uh and I mean it seemed like there
was probably seven or eight throwaways too, like where he
just nobody was open, like he couldn't find anybody, had
a scramble like a ton of throwaways.
Speaker 2: So that really brought down he played really smart. Yeah,
he really brought down the second highest graded Saints offensive
player yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, very good, well so like, but his completion
percentage was in the fit so you'd like to see
that a little bit higher. But again, a lot of throwaways.
So I look down the league at people that we
believe are really good quarterbacks and let's just compare them
to their Week one stats, because that's all we got
to go on with.
Speaker 2: With Spencer Rallery Week one c J.
Speaker 5: Stroud nineteen to twenty seven, one hundred and eighty eight yards,
no touchdowns, one interception, Drake may a guy that was
a first rounder last year, same major. Spencer Raller thirty
of forty six two hundred and eighty seven yards, got
one touchdown, but also one interception. Russell Wilson seventeen to thirty,
seven hundred and sixty eight yards, no touchdown, one interception,
and then a guy I'm comparing a lot to like
Brock Purty with the Niners yesterday twenty six at thirty five,
two hundred and seventy seven yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Now,
he did lead a game winning drive at the end,
but he had a touchdown pass that was an ugly throw,
a bad throw, and a receiver just made an incredible play.
Spencer Ratler had that same situation in this game. It
made an incredible throw and Jawan Johnson just didn't come
down with the catch. So if you look around the league, yeah,
one week to judgement, I thought he played pretty pretty well, okay,
and a lot to improve on him, and I think
we should be a little you know, we lost the game,
of course, didn't come out on top, but there was
a lot of good things I thought. I mean from
an offensive I think Kelimore needs to be a little
bit more aggressive in his attack to the game. He
cannot not call that time out with a minute tim
and also likes to try to get points.
Speaker 4: Also, like there's got to be a little bit of
balance to like forty six pass attempts twenty two rushes
and in those twenty two rushes, you were running for
right at five yards of carry right like Ak kind
of you know, disappeared in the second half, not because
he wasn't out there, just wasn't featured. He has eleven
for forty five. Ratler himself has four for twenty nine.
Kenjre Miller has five for twenty four. Devin Neil has
two for nine. So everybody that touched the football running
it had success, and a lot of that was Syler
running two. Yeah, forty six, forty six to twenty two.
When you're having success when you're getting five yards of
pop and yeah, I mean certainly, I mean Spencer was
four twenty nine to four on that rushing total. But
that's going to be a part of what I mean,
he had design quarterback runs in this game like that.
That's one of the things like with Kellen Moore, like
being a head coach and he's been a coordinator, but
you kind of lose sight of that win now when
the defense is out there, like you're still you're in
the game. You're not over there on the headset, you're
not going over the iPad like, oh damn, we gotta
run the football.
Speaker 2: A little bit. We've got some weve got some holes
we can you know, exploit here yep.
Speaker 4: And part of that is figuring out how to call
the game and also be the head coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And and to that, to that point, Kamar and Kendre Miller,
they're pretty pretty damn good one two punch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kendre looked good yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kamar looked like I mean, Kamar was running hard,
he was trying, he was looking for contact. But Kendre Miller, man,
he showed out yesterday. He showed some flashes. So look,
I think there's a lot to grow. But hopefully a
Lave is not beat up. I know he was kind
of limping around yesterday. I don't know what they do.
We have an injury report on him. I know he
did end up coming back into that.
Speaker 2: Yeah he got I.
Speaker 6: Don't think he just landed hard. It wasn't anything crazy, yep.
Speaker 5: So I'd like to see, you know, hopefully we get
into some games where there's a defense that's trying to
put a little bit more pressure and see if we
can Spencer can kind of get the ball down field
a little bit more, take advantage and get some more
bigger plays. But like I said, man, yesterday, it was
hard rock minding a little bit. He had to take
a lot of underneath routes, so had to be good
route running underneath and making a lot of throws that
were really good throws in the right play to make.
It's just not exciting to watch it that much because
there wasn't a lot of stuff down the field. So
but you know, I think that all in all, you know,
it was watchable, right, it was watchable.
Speaker 2: It was exciting. I thought, well, he had a shot
there to win.
Speaker 4: I know exactly what you're saying, which is funny saying
it was watchable.
Speaker 2: Man, We're gonna win some games. I thought, you know,
I called him to win this.
Speaker 4: Past all jokes aside Spencer Rattler only taking one sack
because Caesar Luiz was bad again stop me if you've
heard that, and then Fuaga like, and I know he
got nicked up, but he was not himself. He has
been so solid all preseason long. He was solid as
a rookie. He did not have his best day yesterday.
And that your entire right side was really struggling and
pass protection and the fact that you only you know,
you only give up one sack. Now, Caesar was better
in pass pro than he was run blocking. Run blocking
some of the technique stuff, y'all. And I'm not trying
to pick on this guy. I know I played fullback,
I didn't play guard. I get that, But y'all, some
of the false step and hand placement and just elementary
mistakes that this man aches and rum blocking, it's just
baffling to me. I know he's never been taught that.
There's just no chance he's ever been taught that. So, like,
I don't know, man, It's.
Speaker 2: Just it's that that that position has.
Speaker 5: Been head scratching. There's linemen out there that have bad technique. Yeah,
but if you're gonna have bad technique, you better be
really good at it. We had a right tackle and
he does he does radio. He's great at radiop in Wisconsin.
He's a great personality. He was a great player. Mark
Tauscher played right tackle. Yeah, awful technique, like he would
like turn It's like he would have to like do
a three sixty sometimes. But he was good at it. Yeah,
like his he played his bad technique great. Yeah, and
he was a he just never So if you're gonna
play bad technique, like sometimes you got quarterbacks that have
bad mechanics, but you better be really good if you're
gonna do that. If you're if you're gonna do like,
all right, let's let's let's go to a different sports
Scotti Sheffler. No one's teaching you to swing the way
Scotti Sheffler does. But he's really really good at it. Yeah,
but you were never gonna to take a ten year
old child who's trying to learn how to play golf
and you're gonna teach him Scottie Scheffie's swing. It's just
not going to happen. So if you're gonna do it,
be really good and don't be like Caesar or you're
not good at doing taking No, I just yeah, And
but he didn't show up that much on pass protection.
Speaker 2: No, No, pass protection was better than it than it
had been.
Speaker 4: He knew his assignment this time, but it was really
it was really in the run game where it stood
out to me. I'm trying to pull it up, trying well,
you know, we always try to, like we've been doing
the Pro Football Focus grades here for a very long time,
and I tried to watch the game make my own
assessment of the game, and then I want to go
back and see if it matches up. And so I
just pulled it up while you were talking there. Caesar
Luiz run blocking grade. Anybody want to take a guess
at his run blocking grade? He played seventy five plays,
all seventy five in the game for the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 7: For all, right, Landre, what's the worst you can be?
Speaker 2: Zero?
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, you could be his zero. I've never
really seen a zero. It's like you get points for
putting your name on the test.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think like that forty range is probably
pretty accurate.
Speaker 4: Matthew forty six point three, thirty two point three.
Speaker 7: We gave him too much credit.
Speaker 5: Thirty two, thirty two point three, solid number. There's not
even a letter for that grade.
Speaker 4: Thirty two point three now and minus like and Juwan
Johnson was thirty five and run blocking now that's you
know that he's a pass catcher.
Speaker 2: It's what he is.
Speaker 4: And that's why you have Foster Moro on this team.
And unfortunately we know Foster not ready to go yet.
Speaker 2: Tied in.
Speaker 4: I thought, I thought Juwan Johnson played great in the
past game. Yeah, your pass catcher, catch the pass it's
very true, very fair touche. But for the running backs
to do what they did with, you know, not the
ultimate help in front of them kind of goes back
to I understand what you see like if you're killing
more like, oh my gosh. But the running backs still
found a way, and so you like to see those
numbers kind of get closer to each other there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, just.
Speaker 4: Come on, too old, been doing this too long, too
high of a level to have that kind of technique.
All right, let's take a break more OTB when we come.
Speaker 2: Back here.
Speaker 4: One four five ESPN Betters off the bench. First segment. Okay,

This is off the Bench with Hester and Flynn Baton,
Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in oh TB on this Monday morning.
Speaker 2: Recap and the weekend that was on the grid iron.
Speaker 4: I know, last segment we started talking a little negative
about some of the gas run blocking.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, well, I mean.
Speaker 4: At the end, I mean at the end, because there
was some positive things, but that was all on the
offensive side of the football, the defense played well, you
look at the total yards I mean less than three
hundred yards in a NFL game, and the Mario Davis
he found the fountain of you somewhere and is not
sharing it with the rest of us frequently. He played
all sixty six plays. He was everywhere and just thumping people.
I mean, like from the very first play he's like,
oh my god, y'all made fifty six.
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, there was some hitting. Yeah.
Speaker 4: He graded out total grade in this game a ninety one.
You know how hearted is to get a ninety one
PFF grade And the tape shows it again like it
told the story. I thought him. I thought Julian Blackman
was awesome in this game. I thought Cam Jordan was
really good for majority of this game. You know, Cam
plays forty nine plays in this game out of sixty six.
Remember last year, Dennis Allen and his weak chin and
his baby cakes.
Speaker 2: He's now got that title, by the way, he like
he didn't play Cam a lot.
Speaker 4: Like Cam had a second half in this game, and
it really kind of had two sacks. There were some
veteran players out there giving you everything they had, and
they look they've been doing it for a very long time,
but those two players to Mario Davis and Cam Jordan.
I thought Carl Granderson was really good in spurts too.
Not as consistent as as other two, but they played
winning football. And look, Julian Blackman signing as late as
he did, remember you didn't sign him until after Tyron
decided to retire. He played every snap defensively for you,
and I thought he was really good. Now, during the
break we were talking about kool Ai mckinstrey. It wasn't perfect,
It wasn't perfect, and he looked he had a tough assignment.
He was on Marvin Harrison Junior the entire game, and
I would say outside of one throw, he did a
really nice job. In my opinion, that was a great
throw by by Kyler Murray. It was a great play
by Marvin Harrison Junior. Kool Aid's not where he needs
to be in the final product, but you definitely, in
my opinion, I don't know how you felt I saw
growth in kool A McKinstry.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I we kind of we were talking about this
at break and I thought and Taylor kind of had
an opinion that was a little bit more negative towards him.
But it was just because there were some passes completed,
and like, look, Marvin Harrison Junior is a really good receiver,
and that matchup, I think the one that highlight from
kool aid or the low light would be a deep
pass that was hit on him. Now that was a
really good throw and a really good route. And but
you look at the whole past defense. In total, Murray
only threw four one hundred and sixty three yards. Yeah yesterday,
now Marvin Harrison at seventy one and a touch like
he had those yards. But one hundred and sixty three
passing yards an NFL football game is winning defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yay, were defense. The defense did enough to
win the football game.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And you know that might have been like the
strategy like for the Cardinals, like we don't have to
do much, let's not take a lot of like big
shots and play ben don't break defense against a young quarterback.
Speaker 2: That could have been the game plan.
Speaker 5: But the uh yeah, the defense, like you said, Cam
Jordan played great his pass rush and just these guys
you wouldn't you'd be like, all right, these guys are
like twenty seven to twenty eight years old out there.
That's week one see how the old knees and joints
are feeling like like yesterday.
Speaker 4: Though, Man, my gosh, I don't know what Mario Davis
does in the off season. I couldn't do it, but
my guy it works for him is incredible.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: He was, he was everywhere, just continues to be like
the ultimate pro.
Speaker 2: Uh. Let's see.
Speaker 4: In midstream, Ad says, y'all want to hear about twelve
U softball instead?
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, what you got? Yeah, it's softball season right now,
like you're playing falls fall.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the fullball is October typically, but okay, Yeah, let's
let's know what you early early shout out to the
TENU Chargers. We played up in competition, had success yesterday
against a twelve you team. Let's go Chargers bolt up
two wins over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Not a big deal. I think it means practicing too much?
Are you trying to be rabbit? Me from when we
play the Packers later on in the year, was b rabbit?
Speaker 4: Mean they try to get out in front of it,
like you know, hey, you know when an eight mile eminem.
Speaker 2: Who's b rabbit?
Speaker 4: He goes out there and then the final rat battle,
like he tells them everything that the guy who's coming
up next is going to say about him, like he
takes all of his material.
Speaker 2: He's like, he's going to say this, he's gonna say that.
Speaker 4: He's gonna say that, right, and so like once Anthony
Mackie gets on the mic, he's like, hell, I ain't
got nothing to say.
Speaker 2: B rabbit just did it all for you.
Speaker 4: So that's like when you're pulling a b rabbit, like
you're trying to like get out in front of it.
Speaker 5: Okay, No, no, I think we I think we uh
tied in the jamboree, actually.
Speaker 2: One by one. I don't think so, pretty sure we did.
I didn't bring it up. I didn't bring it up.
I don't think so. You just don't think I knew
the score of that game.
Speaker 5: I can tell you got some dads that definitely know
how many yards were thrown for in that game.
Speaker 2: Also doesn't believe in jamboree. So I don't believe in
jamb He only believes in Jumblias.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the full scatter report from the fathers on your
team over there.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, you got to be into it. You don't
have analyst, y'all.
Speaker 5: We're excited. We got Yeah. Yeah, y'all, y'all, I think
we all play up like one game this week.
Speaker 2: So or this year. Yeah, well we uh so we Yeah,
we got a good yesterday on defense. I was like flood, flood.
Speaker 5: He was focused, locked in, Like it's really hard to
coach like football when you know you only got like
eight or nine kids on the team. Yeah, it's really
hard to like coach defense because who do you put
on offense? You can't like run an offense versus you
just have you can explain it to him. That's why
you have analysts. That's why you have analysts. And they
get out there and you show them the choke card.
You get the James We don't really have show you
get James Cole out there.
Speaker 2: This is what you run on. Come on, ja Marcus,
let's go, let's go. All right? Well you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, nook, that is that is Anthony Mackie, who is
in the Final rat Battle there all right, which movie
eight miles you want to hear?
Speaker 2: Just a not a good take. It's not even a take. Sure,
I've never seen it.
Speaker 4: I thought we saw that as a team.
Speaker 2: No, that was get Richard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, And I don't feel about it.
Speaker 5: I don't feel great about it, but I never that
came out when we were in high school, is that right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, two thousand and two, three, probably three.
Speaker 5: I don't see it's gotta be before that because if
it was out in the two Hitters three, we would
have seen it.
Speaker 2: As a team two. Okay.
Speaker 5: So I just didn't see it when it was out
in the theaters, and I never went back and just
got it.
Speaker 2: Which is wild because I've watched a lot of movies.
Speaker 5: I used to think it was cool to like collect DVDs,
like that's how I was gonna spend some of my
scholarship check was going to best Buy and check and
scrolling on Tuesdays and like digging through the discount balling
on a budget, I go to go to Walmart and
go through that bend to get like two for five
sometimes on the on the blue rays. Yeah, back then
you had to you had to choose between Blue rays
or the h D. Remember that I do because I
had an h D DVD player that hooked up to
my Because as a business, you don't always have to
be the first, you just have to be the best.
Speaker 4: Because HD CDs were before Blu Ray. Yeah, and then
blu Ray came and just dominated him. Yeah, and then
now blu Ray's dead.
Speaker 5: So a person who invented bluetooth, will you? Everyone used
bluetooth for everything. We all know what that. Yeah, like
when he invented this, how crazy did he sound? I'm
going to connect this device to this device, yeah, airs,
and then I'm gonna call it bluetooth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does bluetooth mean? I don't know.
Speaker 5: How did he create that name? I've thought about this
a lot, I can tell.
Speaker 7: I think about that with everything that.
Speaker 5: Right, Why your friend and the founder named bluetooth bluetooth?
Speaker 4: All right, you keep talking to Landra, I'll find I'll
find the answer. Hopefully your friend has it.
Speaker 7: My friend definitely, I'm asking your friend right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can go ahead, he does.
Speaker 8: Why is Bluetooth called bluetooth? It gets his name from
a tenth century Scandinavian king, Harold Bluetooth Gormson Denmark.
Speaker 2: Always that's what I thought it was.
Speaker 8: His nickname was Bluetooth, supposedly coming from either a dead
tooth that looked bluish, or because he liked blueberries.
Speaker 4: Maybe his teeth were blue because he liked If he
liked blueberries. It'll be blue teeth and one tooth can do.
It's possible.
Speaker 7: I still don't really get why it was called that though,
because it's saying it just.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna connect this device, this phone to the
speaker with only a click of a button. We don't
need a wire anymore. So I'm gonna go to a
tenth century Scandinavian yeah king.
Speaker 8: So yeah, this is a very niche, very inside joke.
Harold was known for uniting Denmark and Norway under his rule,
and the engineers who created bluetooth in the nineties saw
a parallel between the technology that was designed to unite
different devices and communication protocols. Okay, okay, there's so that
is such a resion, so many different things that you
could have called it.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of things. I'm glad he called it
bluetooth because I get because it makes me feel good.
Speaker 2: Now, think about the average person.
Speaker 7: They're like, that's an insane pool though, Oh bluetooth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously the guy from Scandinavian.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he united two countries. There's a lot of
people in history that united clans, tribes, countries.
Speaker 7: And they went with the Scandinavian king.
Speaker 2: They went with that guy. It was an inside joke.
Probably it was.
Speaker 8: That's what it says, yes, or I don't know, Scandinavian king.
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, they had a lot of different tribes,
all right, that's yes.
Speaker 2: Uh. Anthony Mackie and Moscona did almost get in a fight.
Speaker 7: Wait, why it.
Speaker 4: Was a postgame situation. I forget which game it was
during twenty nineteen. I don't remember what it was. Maybe
one bumped into the other. I don't really talking to
me all around. It's wrong tone to do it again,
stabby in the face with a soldering iron.

Speaker 4: The New Captain of America. He's from New Orleans, lustru
fan the new Captain. There's a new Captain America. Why
was Falcon? Because he's well, he's the Falcon, and then
he's the Falcon, and then Captain America is no longer
with us, and so he takes over the role as
Captain America.
Speaker 2: So now I was gonna fight Captain America.
Speaker 7: This guy doesn't Avengers.
Speaker 4: He's gonna try to fight an avenger. Yeah right, yeah,
an avenger from New Orleans. That just feels like a
bad situation for anybody.

Speaker 1: Locked in on LSU football twenty four to seven. You're
listening to off the Bench.
Speaker 9: Nasty.
Speaker 2: All right, we are back here.
Speaker 4: It is OTV taught New Orleans Saints. Last couple of segments.
Across the NFC South.
Speaker 2: You had a Division game between Tampa and Atlanta. Ended
up being a really good game.
Speaker 4: I mean, Tampa Bay makes a great comeback and so
they win twenty three to twenty. The Carolina Panthers a
team that I know. I thought they were gonna take
a step forward. I thought they were going to be better.
I'm not saying that I thought they were gonna win
ten eleven games, but I thought they were going to
be more competitive. Looked awful against Jacksonville yesterday. So you
had a great game between Tampa and Atlanta. Both those
teams certainly looked as advertised to me. Carolina again, Bryce
Young those for one hundred in fifty four yards two interceptions,
just did not see that growth from him that I
thought you were going to see.
Speaker 2: And Jacksonan actually looked pretty good.
Speaker 4: And we talked about them in their preseason game that
they had against New Orleans. But how we feeling after
one week in the NFC South. I think the Falcons
in Tampa Bay certainly got good quarterback play and they
look like they're going to be pretty tough outs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that was that was the for the
NFC South. That was the game of the week for sure.
So both teams had like a really good comeback. The
Falcons came back first right and then left a little
too much time on the clock. Yeah, Baker makes a
great throw, But Michael Pennock's starting out. I think he
is over the length of a season and certainly a
linked in the first couple of years of career is gonna
be a problem.
Speaker 4: Twenty seven to forty two two ninety eight seven point
one yards per attempt, only took one sack yesterday.
Speaker 5: So the early in the game, I think that he
let a score and drive. I was rise towards the
end of the game they didn't have more points because
how good he looked early on and how good he
looked through spurts throughout the game. But the guy is
when he runs the ball, he can twitchiness. You're talking
about twitching us reaching for the pilon. He had to
play where he reached for the pylon and scored a touchdown.
He had another touchdown he score where he kept his
knees up. But like being able to make plays with
his feet. But man, the guy's deadly accurate. Yeah, throws
a pretty ball, always has. I thought he was one
of the top quarterbacks in last year's really deep draft class.
Speaker 4: I had him, had JD five, Pinnix and then kalab So.
Speaker 2: I think that draft class is gonna end up being
like a really good one Elway Marino Kelly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna it has a potential to be like
that because I think I don't think any of those
guys are going.
Speaker 2: To be first round bus which is while there's what
six of.
Speaker 4: Them, I guess we'll see tonight, which we'll see it's
gonna be a bus off one game.
Speaker 2: But we haven't seen.
Speaker 4: JJ, but we've seen Jay New continue to be awesome yesterday,
Pennix bo Nicks, it was awesome last year.
Speaker 2: You know Spencer, I mean Spencer's in that class, but.
Speaker 4: I mean Caleb Williams will see him tonight. You know
it's gonna be but still some highs. Yeah, I would
expect Caleb Williams to make a pretty big jump with
with Ben Johnson coming in there. But like that, that
that game that was. It was a great game, man,
it was a great one.
Speaker 5: So those are certainly the two going to be the
two teams fighting for the uh the playoff spot that
the NFC South playoff spot. Certainly so that I can't
wait to watch those guys again and kind of watch them,
I know that kind of stinks.
Speaker 2: We're talking about, like really good play. Kyle Pitts made
some plays waiting on a couple of years for that guy.
Speaker 8: I'm mad about that because I started Mark Andrews.
Speaker 7: He had one reception yesterday. Yeah, Cal Pitts was sitting
on my bench with n p BR a half PPR.
Speaker 5: Half pbright seven cages BBR.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean I was gonna give Bryce Young
another chance. I was wrong. Yeah, I'm not giving him anymore.
Speaker 2: I'm giving him chances. I'm not giving him any good
of a card of his.
Speaker 7: Way, way too many chances.
Speaker 4: I have a Bryce shown card that was hold.
Speaker 2: Now it's flash style. Now, hurry get it on the market.
That's too good.
Speaker 4: That's a big, a big debut in the NFC South.
Yesterday at Mecca Buka, he had four catches.
Speaker 2: Sixty seven yard touchdowns. Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4: Great when they drafted him. A lot of people were
confused by it. I was hand up because they had
Mike Evans and obviously you know you've got Godwin there,
but they're they're getting a little bit older, and you
thought they had well, it's more they had other needs
that were more pressing.
Speaker 2: You felt like the receiver.
Speaker 4: But I mean, yesterday, obviously it was in the biggest moments,
that's who they went to. So you know, Tampa Bay
and Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2: How many touchdowns did you he had too?
Speaker 7: Too?
Speaker 9: Ha?
Speaker 6: They were they were both I think they were actually
like both thirty plus.
Speaker 4: Well Baker through three he threw two to Mecha book
and one to Bucky Irving.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, Tampa's drafted really well. They have over the last
couple of years. They got they got Buckie round four.
Speaker 8: Yeah right, we talked about this last season. They're like
the best team in the NFC South.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Baker Mayfield man just keeps playing good football.
Speaker 2: I think he sucks. Uh, I think he sucks. He's he's.
Speaker 6: As far as Bryce Young goes, like back to that,
there was somebody on the show that used to yell
at me about this no name calling t bab a bear.
I didn't think Bryce was good coming into the NFL.
I just I never really saw it. But there were
a lot of people last year that said, well, Bryce
Young was better at the end of the year. He
was better slightly. It doesn't make him a good quarterback.
He was better than the atrociousness we saw in the
first four games, like loot year one to year two,
people said, oh, he took that jump. Not really, you
had nine picks la year ten is a rookie actually
played less. Game completion percentage was about the same, And
then you see it this year it's more of the
same stuff. And Dave Canalis has done a really good
job with a lot of quarterbacks. I mean, he's kind
of the guy that turned things around for Baker and Tampa.
That was his first OC. You can't blame it on
the coaching staff. Now you have weapons on the outside,
like this is it. He's done well.
Speaker 5: I mean, Taylor, I get what you're saying, but you
forget that one of my guaranteed bold predictions was exaviortly
get was gonna have one thousand yards. He only had
ten this past three. Okay, he only needs there's gonna
be a there's gonna be a big like, it's gonna
get better because I predicted it, So it's gonna happen.
So he's only nine hundred and ninety yards away from
me getting that turnover change.
Speaker 2: You're right, it's it's it's coming. It's gonna take. It's
week one. Let's not pay it situated on Bryce. It's
been three years. He might be on pro this year.
We don't know. We got sixteen chances, got sixteen more chances.
Speaker 4: Speaking of the turnover chain, shout out to a Landra.
The only Pontoon Parlay pick that didn't sink was a Laundra.
Speaker 7: Not for the for turnover chain.
Speaker 4: I think if I actually think, if only one of
us got it right, then you deserve to wear it
that week.
Speaker 2: Maybe just maybe hold it.
Speaker 8: Okay, it did my bills.
Speaker 4: I did good in our pick them like so me, Flynn,
Hunt and Moscona. Do we pick with five games? I
went five for five on of course it uh, well,
I had the only to have Mississippi State.
Speaker 2: Yep. I should have gone with my guy. That's my god.
But I panicked. But pick was not way over. That
was a bad pick.
Speaker 6: Wouldn't wouldn't hear fridays, I just send it in what is?
What is bonus pick?
Speaker 2: We do it between two? Between two?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just the two. She was trying to
choose between both.
Speaker 8: Yet we talk about like if you want to sprinkle
a little bit, like a little side, like you want
to talk about like bad beat.
Speaker 6: It's like a lot of times it's like no, no, no, no, no
no no.
Speaker 7: Not even Lane was like every now and then.
Speaker 6: Like a parlay, like let's say three of us hit one.
Doesn't all three of us bad beat?
Speaker 2: I big g. I would stay plus three and a
half or minus three and a half. They won by
three yours hit by yours hit, You're missed by half
a point. Student kicks a field goal at the end
down by ten to cover well and then like a lock.
Jake's under looked like a lock, and then all of
a sudden they were going to be the greatest show
on turf rams.
Speaker 6: Yeah in the second half, So like this looked like
a lock in the second half.
Speaker 2: I missed by half a point. You missed be half
of all our listeners that ain't on us. We basically won. Yeah,
we basically hit.
Speaker 7: One of those picks.
Speaker 8: Though the Mississippi State was leading, and then at the
half Arizona State kind of made a little bit of
a comeback. It goes down to literally the last second,
and I got so many messages about that pick, Like
even Rivers was messaging me like Kevin is stressed out
because you picked Mississippi State, and I'm like, I.
Speaker 7: Don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 8: I'm come on, I know, guess what's going to be.
And then Vandy was they were in the first half,
they were not looking great either, and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, oh man, it was like and.
Speaker 7: Then the Bills.
Speaker 6: It was so intense for that game, but because of us,
it wound up not mattering because I think her game
finished last. So it's like I wanted one of them
to hit, but at the same time, we're like, oh,
well the other three already didn't.
Speaker 7: So I just like being right.
Speaker 2: Like the Mississippi State won.
Speaker 4: I I was shocked that nobody else picked him, just
because like last year. You look at the game, it
was a seven point game. It was on the road.
Mississippi State was bad. Last year, Zona State was good. Yeah,
it was only a seven point game. Mississippi State made
up a lot of ground on Arizona State, even though
Arizona State is still good, I think. And the game
was in Starkville, Like, what's what's the quarterbacks shaping?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 2: See that rope he threw for that touchdown? Yeah? Good god.
We talked about We talked about a little bit before
the season, like I don't think State's going to be
very good, but before he got hurt, he had eleven
total touchdowns and no turnovers. Last year. Yeah, people just
forget about it because he got no big deal.
Speaker 4: It's report of evangel No big deal Eagles. There you go,
nail it, nailed it. Nope, nope, no, nope, nope. We
actually know the mascot. It's just an eagle. Nothing else
that's fair, not multiplecos tigers.
Speaker 2: I think all right, we will take a break game.
Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll eliminate some more teams for
tat as he is another episode of NFL Bachelor here,

Speaker 9: Com from the locker room to the airwaves gets off
the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: All Right, welcome back, he in OTV. Let's go it
back to Taytay now as we're trying to get him
a new NFL team, he has done with the Cowboys,
at least as Jerry Jones is a part of the organization.
He's trying to pick a new team. And let's go
ahead and get an update on where he's at.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we have eighteen teams left as of today.
We're eliminating three guys. There were some bad beats over
the weekend. There were a little bit of bad dates,
just some bad vibes I got all the way around
from a few teams. So we got three of them
we're kicking out today. First one the Carolina Panthers. For
all the reasons we talked about yesterday. I am done
with the Bryce Young. I have seen enough of the
Bryce Young. I gotta find a team that gives me
some sort of hope, and the Panthers do none of that,
so they are eliminated.
Speaker 5: I just saw a clip of Bryce Young at a
TV time out. Yeah, he's on the field. The rest
of his offense is a huddle, and he's looking up
at the jumbo tron, watching like the mini games on
the jumbo tron, like the helmets racing, like you like.
Speaker 2: What you hone in on one you got, yeah, on
the field looking that maybe on the bench is different.
No focus on that one whatsoever.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 6: The second team is the Miami Dolphins because I don't
think any of those players are going to be there
in about two years, so they are gone.
Speaker 2: That team is down the drain.
Speaker 6: The Mike McDaniel experience is probably over sooner rather than later.
Speaker 2: Here in Miami. He is done. Two is done.
Speaker 6: I don't think Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Wattle, as good
as they are, can save this team. They are out.
They're eliminated from contention. And then the final team, we're
gonna eliminate the Houston Texans. Outside of you've been out
of the state of Texas.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: I wanted to believe in this team. C J was
incredible as a rookie.
Speaker 6: He struggled a little bit the past the past, like
back half of last season ended this year. I know
they got into the playoffs, but I just it was
uninspiring this weekend. I really thought I was gonna see
a lot better performance, except from the Houston Texans.
Speaker 2: So they are eliminated.
Speaker 6: So the three that are out Dolphins, Panthers, Houston Texans.
Speaker 2: But you're down to fifteen teams now.
Speaker 5: I'm glad that Huck Flynn isn't scoring now because he
would have lost his you know what over that pick.
That's a big upset, taking the big upside, I thought
they would at least make it because the suspense would
have like built up a little bit, all right, just
after one reaction.
Speaker 2: I gotta go with my I gotta go so correct
me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4: Here you have the Saints, the Bucks, the Jags, the Titans,
the Vikings, the Lions, the Bears, the Packers, the Broncos,
the Chargers, the forty nine Ers, the Rams, the Bengals,
the Bills, and the Jets.
Speaker 2: Left that is correct. Jets Texans before the Jets. Yeah,
I love the Jets like I would like to go
into going into yesterday, the Jets were out.
Speaker 4: But it looks okay, all right, Yeah, what are we
gonna have answer Friday?
Speaker 2: Friday? Al Right? I will say C J.
Speaker 5: Stroud that Rams defense is pretty pretty legit. I got
a good front.
Speaker 2: No, they're great. Yeah, they're playing in the National Football League.
I hope so it's true.
Speaker 5: But like I said, no, Tutters yesterday worse Stets than
the Rattler outplayed them by a lot.
Speaker 4: All right, Uh, when we come back in our number three,
we're gonna start it off with weekend winners. We've got
our guy, Devin snow A k hold the Mayo as well.
