18
00:00:56,719 --> 00:00:59,600
were rocking and rolling here on this Wednesday morning.

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,679
Speaker 6: Really good first hour.

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 5: Baseball heavy right now, There's been a lot of talk

21
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:08,439
about LSU's Spring scrimmage or whatever you want to call it,

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,000
that was open to the fans on Saturday. Well, a

23
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,760
few other teams in the SEC wrapped up their springs

24
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:17,400
with an open practice on Saturday as well, And I

25
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,000
want to look at him because look, people can say,

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,120
what's gonna happen with LSU's QB situation behind Garrett Nosmyra

27
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:28,040
And there's still some people out there who criticized Nosmayer

28
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,079
about things that went on in twenty twenty four. And

29
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:32,799
I'm here to tell you that you better be happy

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,920
to have Garrett Nosmayer because you could be one of

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,040
these three teams. First team I want to start with

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,200
is everyone's favorite. The Alabama Crimson died. After that scrimmage

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,519
on Saturday, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb went to the podium

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,920
and he was obviously asked about the play of all

35
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:53,280
of his signal callers, and he said, if we were

36
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,760
to play a game today, Ty Simpson would start. Yes,

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,319
the same Ti Simpson that could not beat out Jaylen

38
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,000
Milroe and Tyler Buckner. Tyler Buckner wound up leaving going

39
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,959
to Notre Dame. Couldn't play quarterback there, went to play

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
wide receiver and then just said, I to hell whether

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,919
I'm gonna go play lacrosse. Ty Simson could not beat

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,479
him out. The same Jaylen Milroe, who last year looked

43
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:17,280
lost at times in the passing game. Ty Simson couldn't

44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,560
beat him out. It's the same Ty Simson who has

45
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:22,360
done next to nothing in his college career. Now there's

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,680
a lot of people out there that are like, oh, well,

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,439
you know is where's Nico gonna go. He's not gonna

48
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,639
go to Alabama. I'll tell you that right now. Even

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,400
if they wanted to bring him in, I don't think

50
00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:40,039
they would. You have, you have Ty Simpson, you have

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,439
Austin Mack who you brought over, who kind of followed

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,800
Kayln de Borre from Washington. He's a talented guy, but

53
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:49,000
he's played no college football. He's done absolutely nothing in

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,360
his college career. And then you bring in five star

55
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:54,599
Keeland Russell, which, Okay, everyone's gonna look at Keiland Russell

56
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,199
and say, okay, well, Keilan Russell's a five stars typical

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,080
in the Alabama lot. We always talk about the Alabama bomp.

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,479
And I'm someone who's like, okay, yeah, yeah, the Alabama bomp.

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,680
You're also just mad because they steal all of your players.

60
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,960
Keillan Russell was a three star quarterback when he committed

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,159
to Alabama. By the time everything was said and down,

62
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,039
he was a five star. Now, I get it, guys

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,479
are allowed to improve, but me musso, Cassie, anybody else

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,919
in this building. You're not gonna be able to go

65
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:23,439
and be like, oh, this guy used to be a three,

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280
but now he's clearly a five. First off, I'm not

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,960
gonna be able to go out there on one Friday

68
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:29,400
night and tell you the difference between a three and

69
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:29,919
a five star.

70
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,039
Speaker 6: Most of you can't.

71
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 5: That's why I think recruiting rankings are crap about half

72
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,680
the time. But the fact that he's a three star

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,240
commits to Alabama and then like four months later, after

74
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,039
a pretty good senior year, he jumps all the way

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,240
up to a five. I've seen guys go from three

76
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,879
to four. I've seen guys go from four to five.

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,240
I have never seen someone go from a three star

78
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:50,919
to a five star in like a five month period.

79
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,680
I've never seen that. So you can say, Okay, yeah,

80
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:57,080
he's a five star freshman. Eh, maybe a five star

81
00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:01,919
might be a little bit misleading, but right now you

82
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:04,000
would have Ty Simpson as your starting quarterback.

83
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,599
Speaker 6: I can't say that I'm shocked by that.

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: I kind of figured this was going to be the

85
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,599
situation because if you hear the reports out of Alabama,

86
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,400
it's well, you know, he's not doing anything to light

87
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:17,519
it up, but he's kind of the veteran guy in

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,879
the room. He's controlling the offense. He's playing within the system.

89
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:21,519
Speaker 6: That's fine.

90
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:27,879
Speaker 5: You won national championships with Greg McElroy, AJ McCarron, and

91
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:29,839
Jacob Cocher, and none of them were ever going to

92
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,519
be NFL All Pro type caliber guys. You were also

93
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,480
a lot more talented top to bottom. You also had

94
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:39,800
a lot more talent on offense around them. So I'm

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,920
not so much as worried about the quarterback position, but

96
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,839
how can the guys around them elevate the quarterback? We

97
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,439
know about Ryan Williams. Ryan Williams is an excellent football player.

98
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,160
Do they have outside of Ryan Williams?

99
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:53,959
Speaker 7: I get it.

100
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: Justice Hayins was a little bit of a disappointment in

101
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,120
Alabama's first two years.

102
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 6: He was a solid back. He wasn't the stud that

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,040
they wanted him to be. But he's gone. You have

104
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,079
jam Miller back of running back. That's great.

105
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 5: You got Jeremy Bernard, he's probably gonna be your number two.

106
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:14,519
You bring in Isaiah Horton the transfer from Miami. Isaiah

107
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,600
Horton had a solid year, But I mean, is that

108
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:23,079
really the guy that is gonna help Ty Simson look

109
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,279
a lot better than he was?

110
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:25,519
Speaker 7: I don't know.

111
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,519
Speaker 5: I mean, Ryan Williams is certainly a special player, there

112
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,040
is no question about it. Jeremy Bernard did some okay

113
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,439
things last year. He showed flashes, and then you look

114
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:39,199
at Isaiah Hordon. In three years in Miami, Isaiah Horton

115
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:44,399
seventy catches, seven hundred and ninety yards, six touchdowns, eleven

116
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:47,639
point three yards per catch, twenty seven point two yards

117
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,680
per game in three years. And you can actually take

118
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560
twenty twenty two out. He only played in four games.

119
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,319
He had one catch for six yards. Okay, so let's

120
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:59,519
say seventy catches, seven hundred nine yards and six touchdowns

121
00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:03,160
in a two years stretch. I mean, still nothing to

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,279
beat your chest about of Oh, we got another solid

123
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:07,439
playmaker out here. And you can say, okay, well, you

124
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,160
know he didn't have a good quarterback as virgu It

125
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,839
cam Ward last year, and I get it. You had

126
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:17,680
Isaiah Royo with tight end. You had Xavier or Shrepo,

127
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,480
you were competing for catches. He's a solid player, But

128
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,399
I mean, is that the one piece that's going to

129
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:24,920
put Alabama over the top. No, So even if ty

130
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,560
Simpson plays over his head, how are the weapons or

131
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,920
lack thereof at Alabama gonna elevate Ty Simpson and get

132
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:33,000
this team where they want to beat?

133
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:34,319
Speaker 6: I just don't know if I see it.

134
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,079
Speaker 5: The next team I want to highlight is the Tennessee Volunteers,

135
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:40,720
because let's be honest, this is the talk of the

136
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:41,920
SEC and rightfully so.

137
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 6: Also, guys, I don't know if you saw this.

138
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 5: We have updated the Niko iam Aliava situation at nauseum.

139
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,120
I'm not gonna talk about it anymore outside of this.

140
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,079
You remember the report that he wanted somewhere near four

141
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,319
million dollars just stay at Tennessee. And this is the

142
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,839
kind of advice and Eco's getting now that he's a

143
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:04,120
quote unquote free agent in college football and he's in

144
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,480
the transfer portal where it is now, they actually want

145
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,959
well over four million dollars.

146
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 6: They're on the open market. They think they can get that.

147
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 5: Look, you're a guy who's played one year college football

148
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:18,839
under three thousand yards, nineteen touchdowns, five picks, and in

149
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,160
your one college football playoff game, you completed forty five

150
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,319
percent of your passes and you lost forty five to seventeen.

151
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:25,560
That is the resume that you're bringing in the transfer

152
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,920
portal back to Tennessee and the guys that are actually

153
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,600
going to be there.

154
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 6: At least during the spring game.

155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: It appears a true freshman, George McIntyre is actually the

156
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:38,720
leader in the clubhouse. LSU fans may remember the name

157
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:41,120
George McIntyre. LSU was in on him for quite some time.

158
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:43,519
They were actually considered the favorite to land him for

159
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,759
a large period of time. I love his potential. He's

160
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,839
a big kid. He's about six foot four. For his

161
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,720
high school career, he threw for eight two hundred and

162
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:55,519
ninety three yards sixty two touchdowns in thirty six games.

163
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,120
He had nine rushing touchdowns. He was first team All

164
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,000
State Player of the Year finalists as a junior.

165
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,959
Speaker 6: I mean, you name it. George McIntire's done again.

166
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 5: To a lot like Alabama. You can be excited about

167
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680
George McIntyre. I just said I loved this potential. I

168
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:15,439
really liked him when he was coming out of high school.

169
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:22,480
Keildon Samson's not there anymore. You didn't have the receiving

170
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,160
corps last year to help out Niko Yama, Liama, how

171
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,199
you gonna help out George McIntyre. And I don't think

172
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,320
this is necessarily McIntire's fault. I'm not gonna be like, oh, well,

173
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:37,320
Nico's gone, Tennessee's They're season's over. I didn't think they're

174
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,039
gonna be that great with Nico. But breaking in a

175
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,000
true freshman quarterback in the SEZ with very little offensive

176
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:47,039
weapons around you, he's going to be a tough ask

177
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,639
because look, I just crapped all over Ty Simpson. At

178
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,399
least Ty Simpsons has been in this program for three

179
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,799
years now. George McIntire's nineteen years old. You're putting a

180
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:57,919
lot on that young man's play. Now, Well, they dip

181
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,519
into the portal and see if a quarterback pop. Maybe

182
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,279
we haven't seen the final list of who's going to

183
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:04,120
be in the portal who's not.

184
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:05,919
Speaker 6: Maybe they do.

185
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,279
Speaker 5: Maybe they find some guy that nobody's talking about that

186
00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:10,480
they're absolutely in love with. Right now, it's just like

187
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:13,200
Alabama if the season started today, George McIntyre's probably their

188
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,240
starter as far as the Auburn Tigers go, they may

189
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,440
have the best situation of the three teams. I'm mentioning

190
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,840
you bring in Jackson Arnold from Oklahoma, Ashton Daniels who

191
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:27,840
was a starter at Stanford, and freshman Duce Knight, who

192
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,360
a lot of people love. Obviously, Jackson Arnold looks like

193
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,120
the leader in that clubhouse. Now, he didn't practice on

194
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,039
Saturday during that open practice because you know it was

195
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:40,600
a lingering injury, just a precaution, nothing major. We still

196
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:42,919
have Ashton Daniels who has experience. You have the hot

197
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,480
shot freshman Induce Night. Also, you've added weapons in that

198
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,039
transfer portal. That is something that the Auburn coaching stuff

199
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:53,200
has done a really good job. You had Cam Coleman

200
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,440
last year who was really good as a freshman. He

201
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,600
was a matchup problem.

202
00:09:56,879 --> 00:09:57,279
Speaker 7: What do you do?

203
00:09:57,399 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 5: You bring in Eric Singleton from Georgia Tech. This is

204
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,759
a guy who had around one thousand yard receiving last year,

205
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:06,080
showed he could be a really exclusive receiver. LSU showed

206
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,559
some interest in Eric Singleton. I mean that was a

207
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,960
name that was brought up time and time again for

208
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,919
any team when it was like, hey, which wide receiver

209
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:14,759
can you go get in the portal. Eric Singleton was

210
00:10:14,759 --> 00:10:17,159
one of the top names out there. You pair him

211
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,759
with a cam Coleman. I think Jackson Arnold's actually going

212
00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:21,279
to have a lot of success at Auburn this year.

213
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:23,879
Speaker 6: I get it.

214
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 5: He didn't really live up to the five star hype

215
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:29,440
last year at Oklahoma. He was disappointing. At Oklahoma had

216
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:33,240
no running game. We know that Nick Anderson basically was

217
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:36,720
out before the season even started. Jackson Arnold had bower sharp,

218
00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:39,919
but that's about all he had. His offensive line wasn't great.

219
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:41,960
The running game was non existent, and that's been the

220
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,639
biggest knock on Brian Vinnibles. I'm sure Vinibles is a

221
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,399
defensive coach, but you have to have some semblance of

222
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,159
an offense, and they didn't have it out there at Norman.

223
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:53,159
I think under this coaching staff, their offensive center and

224
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,159
I think Jackson Ronold could have a successful year. But look,

225
00:10:56,159 --> 00:11:00,279
I bring up all those different quarterback situations. Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn.

226
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,960
I mean Tennessee was a playoff team last year. Auburn

227
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,720
was right in the thick of it. I mean Alabama

228
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:06,559
was right in the thick of it. Auburn looks like,

229
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:08,679
you know, they're getting a lot of hype going into

230
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,080
the twenty twenty five season. Anyone who wants to criticize

231
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,960
Garrett Nelsemyron lsu in this offense for whatever you see

232
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,759
in twenty twenty five, take a look at these three teams. Look,

233
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:19,919
you have a returning quarterback who had one of the

234
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,200
best first years that you have seen here in Ben Rouge.

235
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:25,960
I think you're actually better at receiver this year than

236
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,200
you were last year, even when losing Mason Taylor. At

237
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,320
tight end, Douse, you have Aaron Anderson back, you have

238
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:41,679
Zavi On, Thomas Beck bringing Nick Anderson, Barrion Brown Francis

239
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:43,840
is the freshman coming in. He's got a lot of potential.

240
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,720
Bower Sharp's gonna play a lot, trade is Green. I mean,

241
00:11:47,919 --> 00:11:49,919
you lose Mason Taylor, but those two guys combined, I

242
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,240
think you're gonna be fine a tight end.

243
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,159
Speaker 3: Now.

244
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 5: Well, Garrett Nelsemeyer tak that second year johnp like a

245
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,559
Joe Burrow or Jayden Daniels. I don't know that's a

246
00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:03,039
lot to ask, but so many people last year criticized

247
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,440
Garrett Nelsmeyer and being like, well, he's not Joe Burrow,

248
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,440
and Jaden Daniels. Yeah, no, kid, Very few people look.

249
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,679
But what I thought was unfair was that they were

250
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,320
comparing first year Garrett Nelsmeyer to second year Joe Burrow

251
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,120
and Jaden Daniels. Look at nels Meyer's first year as

252
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:22,960
a full time starter, sixty four percent completion, four thousand yards,

253
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:24,799
twenty nine touchdowns, twelve interceptions.

254
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,399
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow.

255
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:32,279
Speaker 5: Furst year starting at LSU fifty seven percent completion, twenty

256
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,799
nine hundred yards, sixteen touchdowns, five picks. So the turnovers

257
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,639
were very good, there was only five of them. Touchdowns

258
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:42,080
weren't quite there. Jayden Daniels in his first year. Now,

259
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,720
obviously you got to take into consideration Jaden's ability to run.

260
00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:47,360
I understand that that's something that Barrow had a little

261
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,720
bit of. As far as we know, Nelsmeyer doesn't really

262
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:53,240
have any of at all. As far as passing, Jayden

263
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,360
and Daniels sixty eight percent completion, so that was fine.

264
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,399
Twenty nine hundred yards, seventeen touchdowns, three picks. You get

265
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,480
the point, get it. He turned the ball over a lot,

266
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:03,679
he had twelve interceptions. He didn't take off and run

267
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:05,480
quite as much as everybody wanted him to. When the

268
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:08,720
pocket collapse. There's certainly things to work on, but Row

269
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:11,799
numbers wise, like garon Osmar's right there. I'm not saying

270
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,279
he's going to take a second year jump like a

271
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Jayden Danners or Joe Burrow, but he could. He's got

272
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,679
more weapons than he had last year. There's obviously a

273
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,320
lot of question marks on the offensive line, but if

274
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,120
you can shore that up, I think you might even

275
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:27,120
be better at running back. You got Durham and Jackson back,

276
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:29,480
but Harlan Berry, whos looked really good in spring practice.

277
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:29,759
Speaker 1: J T.

278
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:33,159
Speaker 5: Lindsay's coming in in the fall. I think you're fine

279
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:34,960
at tight end. I mentioned Boutwer Sharp and trade is

280
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,399
green nothing.

281
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,039
Speaker 6: They'll be good to go.

282
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 5: If you can fix the offensive line and make them

283
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,120
a really good unit, this offense could be as good

284
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,639
as anybody in the country. And I think that a

285
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,399
guy like Art Olsmar is gonna be a big part

286
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,679
of that obviously. So I'm not saying he's going to

287
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,519
take a Burrow or a Daniel's jump in year two,

288
00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:53,960
saying he's got all the pieces around him to do

289
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,960
just that. You're under Joe Sloan for a second year,

290
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,159
the returning starter in the SEC. He got your feet

291
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,840
wet last year. You worked out a lot of the

292
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:05,799
kinks and the issues. Looked really good in the bowl game.

293
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 6: I get it.

294
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 5: He threw that bad interception. I know that was on him,

295
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:10,559
But outside of that, he looked really good in the

296
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,480
bowl game. He looked good against Vandy, looked really good

297
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,879
against Oklahoma. As bad as that three game stretch was

298
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,919
from Garrett Osmyer and really the entire LSU team, you

299
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,320
lose to A and M, then you go Alabama Florida,

300
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,080
I get it. That was not great football. But the

301
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:27,320
last three games of the year, Vandy, Oklahoma and then

302
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,039
the bowl game against Baylor, Garrett Nozmeyer looked as good

303
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:31,360
as any quarterback in college football.

304
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:32,759
Speaker 6: We'll see what he does this year.

305
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: But look, there's a lot of talk about, oh, well,

306
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:36,399
NUSS has just gonna throw a lot of picks and

307
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,840
all this. Look around the SEC guys, Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn,

308
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,320
they'd love to have Garrett Nesmyer. You got him, you

309
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:45,120
got a lot of weapons around him. We'll see what

310
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:46,720
he does here in twenty twenty five. Right, we're gonna

311
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,360
take a quick time out when we get back. We're

312
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,080
gonna kind of get away from sports a little bit.

313
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,960
I like to do this every time I fill in

314

Speaker 4: Yeah.

358
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 8: One of the cool things that we talk about with

359
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,640
them is one hour windows. When they're coming to your

360
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,519
home or business. How many times you've been there sitting

361
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:14,359
there all day because it's six to eight hour windows

362
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,759
and if they even show up right you've wasted all

363
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:17,400
day waiting.

364
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 7: That is not the case. One hour way.

365
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,519
Speaker 8: Times you can see exactly where the tech is cool

366
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,960
prohvac dot Com.

367
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,079
Speaker 5: All right, welcome back again Wednesday edition of Off the Bench.

368
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,519
What I wanted to do right now?

369
00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: I get it.

370
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,319
Speaker 5: Look, everybody in the chat always asks worst T Bob,

371
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,799
we need to hear about the latest celebrity gossip in

372
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:37,359
the other nonsense that he yells about.

373
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 6: So what I try to do is one nonsports segment

374
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,480
every single day. We're gonna do it here.

375
00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:45,079
Speaker 5: We're gonna do a little would you rather Wednesday? It's

376
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,000
something we used to do here on OTV. I like

377
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:49,359
to do it every time I fill in if it

378
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,119
happens to be on a Wednesday. I got a few

379
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,759
questions ready. We'll see if more and more come in

380
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,880
through the chat, guys, I will ask them and I

381
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,599
will go to you guys first, Would you rather go

382
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:03,599
to space or the bottom of the ocean.

383
00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 3: Space, I'd rather go to space.

384
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:09,799
Speaker 7: Space.

385
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:12,839
Speaker 6: Okay, well we're going to be three for three on space.

386
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, the bottom of the ocean seems like the most

387
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:17,079
terrifying place in the entire world.

388
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,519
Speaker 3: I agree.

389
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:20,039
Speaker 5: I mean, like, at least if you're in space, you

390
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,480
got something to look at. You can't see three inches

391
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:24,200
in front of your face in the bottom of the ocean.

392
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,839
Speaker 6: And what did they say, Like, Okay, you.

393
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: See all the terrifying creatures that are already in the ocean,

394
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:31,079
right They're like, okay, well we've only discovered like seven

395
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,000
percent of the ocean. What the hell else is out

396
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,440
there that we don't know about? Like, at least in space,

397
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,960
like I got some sort of a view and can

398
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:41,359
float around. It might be kind of fun. I mean,

399
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,319
you know, until I ultimately perish, but it might be

400
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,920
kind of fun. But yeah, no, I am out on

401
00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:48,599
a deep sea exploration. That is something that I have

402
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:50,319
zero interest in.

403
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,799
Speaker 7: Muso.

404
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,599
Speaker 5: This one's for me and you, and I think I

405
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:56,759
know our answers. Would you rather be a fill in

406
00:18:56,839 --> 00:18:58,759
host for the morning show or the afternoon show?

407
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, the afternoon shack. It's not it's not even close, man.

408
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,599
I uh, not a morning person. Although we were talking

409
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,400
at the break, we have crossed the thresholder Like, I mean,

410
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,000
I would be awake at this point in the morning now,

411
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,720
but and probably for about forty minutes or so.

412
00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:19,039
Speaker 3: But still the first alarm this morning went off at

413
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:19,720
like four forty.

414
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not a great feeling.

415
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,039
Speaker 3: No, that's that's not fun for me at all.

416
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 5: The worst feeling is like, not even when the alarm

417
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:29,759
goes off, it's going to sleep, but you set the

418
00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:31,799
alarm and you're checking what time you said it.

419
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,079
Speaker 6: That is the worst feeling in the world.

420
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 3: No, yet, that's true. That absolutely sucks.

421
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 9: A little part of me died last night whenever I

422
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000
had to set the four forty alarm and then like

423
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:41,759
the four fifty and then the five.

424
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 5: So, Jassie, this one actually is probably the best for

425
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:47,119
you because, like, my answer is obviously going to be

426
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,839
the morning show, because I'm someone who likes to keep

427
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,839
the same schedule.

428
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:51,519
Speaker 6: Almady year in the morning.

429
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:54,599
Speaker 5: Anyways, I don't hit traffic on the way home usually

430
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,839
unless something incredibly rare happens, which is kind of the

431
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,839
norm here in ben Rudge.

432
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 6: But what would what would your answer be?

433
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 10: Definitely the afternoon show.

434
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,279
Speaker 6: But you seem like such a morning person.

435
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,519
Speaker 10: I think we all know that I'm not a morning

436
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:11,759
persinger at all. I'm still struggling to keep my eyes

437
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:14,680
away and the show started at seven.

438
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:16,079
Speaker 7: It's it's rough.

439
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,039
Speaker 5: We were talking about this the other day. Would you

440
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,960
rather be a professional singer, actor or athlete?

441
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 3: Oh? Singer? One percent?

442
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 9: Uh?

443
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, No.

444
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 9: We were talking about say and I said the other day,

445
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,599
and I said that if I could choose one.

446
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:33,319
Speaker 3: Talent in the world to have, it would be seen

447
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:34,759
like that would be awesome.

448
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 5: I agree, Cassie, Yeah, I agree. Okay, well, we can't

449
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,839
all pick singer, but you know what, We're going to

450
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,920
all pick singer. But I'm picking up for a different

451
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,119
reason one like tomus to this point. Yeah, having the

452
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,920
talented sing. Also, you can like pick up gigs really anyway,

453
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,759
if you learn how to play the piano or the guitar,

454
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,079
like that helps you as well. But also, if I'm

455
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:55,000
a professional singer and like I make a big time,

456
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:57,880
the rush when you're about to walk out on stage

457
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,759
and a sold out arena has to be just phenomenal.

458
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 10: Some could say the same for an actor or an athlete.

459
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: It does, but Here's here's where it differs. Okay, here's

460
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:09,319
where it differs. When you're singing one of your big

461
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,799
hits and you stop and the rest of the crowd

462
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,839
sings a word for word and doesn't miss a beat,

463
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,200
that's gotta be one of the biggest honors you can have,

464
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:19,240
like for me, like those two particular reasons, Like it's

465
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:21,960
singer for me all the way. Like sure, every you

466
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,680
know kid growing up like me and musso anybody, like

467
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:26,319
they all grew up like, oh, I want to be

468
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,559
a professional athlete when I grew up, Like, you can.

469
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 6: Be a singer a lot longer.

470
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 5: You don't get injured as much being a singer, Like

471
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,079
the singer has a longer shelf life, and a lot

472
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,799
of singers ultimately get into movies anyways, So I'm going

473
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:39,599
singer right there.

474
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,559
Speaker 6: Okay. Would you rather only eat dessert or never eat dessert? Again?

475
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 10: Only eat dessert?

476
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,519
Speaker 6: Okay, big dessert? Okay, but PASSI that means no Chick

477
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:50,720
fil A?

478
00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:51,799
Speaker 1: Yep?

479
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 10: But is that milk chase?

480
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 6: Oh she got chicken in them? So okay, so you

481
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,880
do you just like the aura of Chick fil A.

482
00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:02,960
It doesn't even have to be chicken not necessarily.

483
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:08,039
Speaker 9: That's a hard one because I don't want to eat dessert, yeah,

484
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:10,400
for every meal for the rest of my life. But

485
00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:13,079
I also don't want to have to give up dessert entirely.

486
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,279
So that's actually really difficult because I don't want to

487
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:21,400
give up dessert entirely. I guess I have to pick

488
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,400
eat dessert, which doesn't sound fun at all.

489
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,079
Speaker 5: So I'm actually gonna go the other way. I can

490
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,119
do without dessert. Like, I like dessert, but it's kind

491
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,000
of always my least favorite part of the meal. Like,

492
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:35,480
don't get me wrong, I will throw it down on

493
00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:37,640
a chocolate cake and apple pie like whatever it is.

494
00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:40,240
But I like my savory foods way too much, Like

495
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:42,119
I don't. I don't think I could deal with sweets

496
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,039
like every day for the rest of my life. I'm

497
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:45,920
actually gonna go opposite you, guys. I'm I'm cool with

498
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,039
never have a dessert again. I don't want to only Like,

499
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,799
I love pizza, I love burgers all that. Like, I'd

500
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,400
rather have all of that and not have dessert than

501
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,000
like get desserted, but like have to give up every

502
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,799
single thing. I love seafood, big seafood fan, can't have

503
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,000
that if I only do dessert. No, this is this

504
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,920
is an easy one for me. I'm I'm never eating

505
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,519
dessert again.

506
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 3: Oh you're a psycho.

507
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,279
Speaker 6: Would you Would you rather win the super Bowl or

508
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:10,160
win the Masters?

509
00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, that's that's a tough one.

510
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:21,839
Speaker 4: You know.

511
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with the Masters. And here's why. Yeah,

512
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,680
not just the the the aura of it and everything

513
00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:32,400
that surrounds the tournament. I mean, we all understand that

514
00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:36,119
you hear it so off with the super Bowl, even

515
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,119
if you win it, there's no guarantee you can go back.

516
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: You win the Masters, you get to go back every year.

517
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:41,240
It's a guarantee.

518
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,039
Speaker 9: Well, you get to have your own Master's dinner, to

519
00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:45,519
a dinner, you get to play in the tournament for

520
00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:47,359
as long as you want, as long as you live,

521
00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:49,920
for the rest of time, and it just becomes a

522
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,119
part of you forever. Not that a super Bowl doesn't.

523
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:56,920
It's just there is no guarantee of more, you know,

524
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,640
success or or return to the super Bowl.

525
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,559
Speaker 3: Winning a super Bowl would be absolutely awesome.

526
00:24:01,559 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 9: Both immortalize you, but because of everything that kind of

527
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:08,920
comes with the Masters, or like surrounding the tournament, Yeah,

528
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:12,640
I'm gonna go with the Masters, Cassy, what we got.

529
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,039
Speaker 2: I was gonna go with.

530
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:16,039
Speaker 10: Super Bowl, but I think you still kind of convinced

531
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:18,440
me to go to Masters. Because I'm not a golf person,

532
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:20,799
so I don't really know much about the Masters, but

533
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:24,799
I mean that after Masters dinner would be really nice,

534
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,640
and I think you'd convinced me such Masters.

535
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 5: So it would depend on what position I'd play in football.

536
00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:33,759
If I am a quarterback that wins the Super Bowl,

537
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:35,960
you were forever a legend of the game, no question

538
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,640
about it. If I'm like an offensive lineman or a

539
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,880
defensive lineman, ten years from now, nobody's even going to

540
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,200
remember that I won the Super Bowl. Also, like when

541
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,359
you see a guy in college win the Heisman Trophy,

542
00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:49,119
you got all the old Heisman winners standing behind him,

543
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,880
and I mean, it's a shrine, it's a fraternity of greatness.

544
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:54,039
Speaker 6: That's kind of how I view the Masters.

545
00:24:54,079 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 5: I view the Masters more like winning the Heisman than

546
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,519
I do winning the super Bowl. Which you could say, Okay,

547
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:02,920
well you're literally picking super Bowl, not necessarily because you're

548
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,680
in that group forever, you will forever have that green jacket.

549
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,319
Speaker 6: You get to pick the Masters dinner.

550
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,079
Speaker 5: Like Musa mentioned, you get to come back next year,

551
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,039
and everybody's gonna be pointing, Hey, look there's a returning

552
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,400
champion right there. Can anybody get this guy? Look as

553
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,160
big of a fan as I am of football, Like,

554
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,440
would I'd rather go to the Super Bowl the Masters

555
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,319
super Bowl for me because you get the halftime show,

556
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,440
it's a spectacle and everything. As far as winning, I

557
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,119
think I'm actually gonna take the Masters as well, Guys,

558
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,200
I mean I think I think that's the way to go.

559
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,839
Speaker 6: All right, we'll get a few more in here.

560
00:25:31,559 --> 00:25:34,319
Speaker 5: Would you rather binge watch a TV show or watch

561
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,000
one episode every single week?

562
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,279
Speaker 10: Watch a TV show?

563
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 9: Absolutely, I can do both. It It doesn't uh. I

564
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:45,279
really honestly don't have a preference there. I mean, you know,

565
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,400
with certain shows like on Netflix obviously binge. But I

566
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,799
mean I watched Yellowstone Weekly from the entire like four

567
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:55,079
or five.

568
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,599
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people did that with like Waltson.

569
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,599
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I mean, like I really I don't have

570
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,119
a preference. It's I can take it or leave it

571
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:03,599
with both.

572
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 5: I'm actually gonna go binge watching a TV show like

573
00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:09,359
Musso is a very patient person.

574
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 6: I have figured out, you know, I'm in certain areas.

575
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,799
I feel like you're the.

576
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,559
Speaker 5: Type of guy that could like like not here, like

577
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,960
not when something goes wrong, but like I feel like

578
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:22,960
outside of work, like, uh, you don't have to have

579
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,759
like like you can be a scheduled person outside of work.

580
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 6: I'm so scheduled here. I can't.

581
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 5: I cannot take the time to sit down every single

582
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:32,400
like one night a week for the same exact time

583
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000
and do it like I will intentionally wait, Like Okay,

584
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:38,000
there's a new show out called Mobland with Tom Hardy

585
00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:41,319
and it's it's very similar to like Peggy Blinders and

586
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:41,559
all that.

587
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 6: And my my brother and my dad they're all watching.

588
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,559
Speaker 5: They're like, oh, you got to check out Mobland, And

589
00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:47,319
my how many episodes are? Like oh, like two or three?

590
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,599
I was like, oh, wait for the first season to

591
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,799
come out, Like I'm good, Like, I can't. I'd rather

592
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,079
just sit there to vote one afternoon to it watch

593
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,599
the entire thing, Like I don't. I don't think I

594
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,680
can sit down the same time every single week and devoted.

595
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:01,119
I would forget then I would be episode behind. Then

596
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,880
I'd have to wait for it. Like I'm I'm good

597
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,880
with just binge watching ya, you know what?

598
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: I just learned.

599
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: What did you just learned?

600
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,319
Speaker 3: You know nothing about me?

601
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:09,079
Speaker 7: No?

602
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,039
Speaker 6: No, no, obviously at work.

603
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: No, okay, guys, I'm not scheduled outside of work.

604
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 6: You seem like you could be.

605
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 9: I could be, but I I like to just kind

606
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,799
of do nothing most of the time when I'm not here. Now,

607
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:23,640
it doesn't always work because I don't do well doing nothing.

608
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,319
I have to like always do something.

609
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 3: See that. That's where I'm at normally find things to do.

610
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:32,480
But it's uh yeah, no, no, not not here.

611
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:35,200

00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,759
with you sitting in for Jacob Ester and t Bob Abay.

661
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,559
Right now we're gonna go out to the phone lines.

662
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:06,880
Welcome in, Zach Natt. You covering the Ylow Shoot Tigers

663
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:07,319
for s I.

664
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 6: Zach.

665
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,279
Speaker 4: What's going on man, morning, Taylor? How are we doing

666
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:11,119
doing good on this sense?

667
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

668
00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:12,359
Speaker 6: Doing good?

669
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,359
Speaker 5: You know we were gonna have you on yesterday, but

670
00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:17,519
it turns out that Brian Kelly actually let you guys

671
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,799
extend your stay a little bit out there in the

672
00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:22,000
practice field. Let's kind of dive into that right now,

673
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:24,200
Like what was your what was your main takeaway from

674
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,240
practice yesterday? The first one you guys got to see

675
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:27,359
after that spring scrimmage.

676
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think most importantly Taylor is about evaluating this

677
00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:34,519
offensive line and getting the opportunity to see the rotations

678
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:37,079
that they continue to throw out there. Obviously we've seen

679
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,119
DJ Chester kind of rolling with the ones at the

680
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,400
center spot. That's gonna be a position battle that cruises

681
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:44,559
all the way leading up the Week one at Clemson.

682
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,279
So getting the opportunity to sit back evaluate that offensive line,

683
00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:50,519
see who they're rolling with, who they're going to continue

684
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:52,519
to work with this summer. And that's kind of the

685
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:55,160
major takeaway yesterday. It's kind of the same thing over

686
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,079
and over again, that that we begin to see, but

687
00:30:57,279 --> 00:31:00,519
nonetheless opportunity to check out the O line, see defensive

688
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:03,000
line ceased, dear Mitchell back on the field. Just a

689
00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:04,720
couple of little takeaways that we had the chance to

690
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,599
see yesterday mornings.

691
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,839
Speaker 5: Speaking of the offensive line, I'm glad you mentioned that

692
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,240
I actually talked about that earlier in this show. Look,

693
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:12,799
you know we the two big transfers that came in

694
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:15,599
was Braylin Moore and Josh Thompson. I mean, do you

695
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,680
think both of those guys are going to get that

696
00:31:17,799 --> 00:31:20,279
starting spotter? Is like this a legitimate battle for those

697
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:21,240
guys to earn that job.

698
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: I think this O line is just kind of a

699
00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:26,480
big old puzzle that you got to put together and

700
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:28,039
you have a couple of months to do so. But

701
00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:30,079
you were a ton of versatile pieces that you throw

702
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:32,519
in the mix there obviously, like you said, Josh Thompson,

703
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,759
and then that's the epitome of a versatile piece up front.

704
00:31:35,799 --> 00:31:38,200
He can play guard, he can play tackle. Right now,

705
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,559
they've been throwing him in with the second team at

706
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:43,519
that right tackle spot behind West and Davis. I think

707
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,720
ultimately when things come down to it week one at Clemson,

708
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:48,559
he's going to be a guard for this team. I

709
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:51,200
think his interior spot is where he's thrived the most.

710
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,720
I think is where he's the chance to be most

711
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,400
successful under Brad Davis. So for me, I think there's

712
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,920
an opportunity for him to start come week one at

713
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,079
the guard spot. Braylan Moore and DJ Chester. That's a

714
00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:04,240
true battle right there. They've been going at it for

715
00:32:04,279 --> 00:32:06,400
the last couple of weeks. It's going to continue to

716
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,359
trickle into the rest of the offseason as well. But

717
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:10,400
I don't think you brought in a guy like Braylan

718
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,960
Moore to sit on the bench. I think this is

719
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,480
a guy who's going to continue to battle and continue

720
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,759
to do what he needs to do in order to

721
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:18,559
be on the field come week one. But those two guys, man,

722
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,559
I think they have an opportunity to obviously be upfront

723
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:21,519
and be in that starting fog.

724
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:25,839
Speaker 5: As far as the scrimmage goes on Saturday, I mean scrimmage,

725
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,000
spring game, whatever you want to call it.

726
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:29,039
Speaker 6: It was kind of the extended action we got to see.

727
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 5: I mean, if you were out there, you saw full team,

728
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:33,920
eleven on eleven, you saw seven on seven, goal line,

729
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,759
red zone. I mean you saw a little bit of everything.

730
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,200
What was your biggest takeaway, like positive or negative? Offensively

731
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:41,960
or defensively, Like, what was your biggest takeaway? When you left,

732
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,759
you were like, Okay, maybe wasn't expecting that.

733
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's unfortunate. Taylor is going to sound like a

734
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,000
casual here, but it's the Edge Rushers unit. Yeah, I

735
00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:52,119
think everybody's been raving about them for good reason. Everybody

736
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,599
was talking about his talent to the depth there, and

737
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,000
like I said, it's for all good reasons. It starts

738
00:32:57,039 --> 00:32:59,799
to the trio of newcomers Florida State's Patrick Payton, Lord

739
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:03,279
Jack fiber Nebraskas Jamari Butler. Those trio of newcomers have

740
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,640
looked the part during camp and it trickled into that

741
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,759
open event on Saturday in Tiger Stadium. Those three are

742
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:10,960
going to recavoc this season. I'm excited to see how

743
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,400
it pans out for them. And then you throw in

744
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:16,200
Gabriel Rele Relevord who's returning for his second season with

745
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:19,119
the program. Fran Kellyes, raved about him time and top again,

746
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:21,559
that was going to be very important stopping the run

747
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,960
in twenty twenty five. So when you kind of look

748
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,759
at those quote unquote standouts during that event and really

749
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:28,559
all throughout Camp, Taylor, it's going to be about that

750
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,759
Edge Rusher's unit. I think they've looked some stational Kevin

751
00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:34,240
Peeple's has pieced together a really talented, too deep depth

752
00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:36,680
chart and this is about continuing to get that continuity,

753
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:39,759
that chemistry flowing throughout the rest of camp leading up

754
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:41,680
the week one again at Clemson. Man, it's one of

755
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,119
the biggest games I think in a very very long

756
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,920
time for LSU, clearly, and you're gonna need that defensive

757
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,039
front to be able to stop Kate club Nick. When

758
00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:50,759
it comes down to it that Ed Rusher's unit has

759
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:53,160
lived up to the hype so far. It's about continuing

760
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,200
to have a very very positive offseason, Zach.

761
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 5: I know this day in agent college football, like things

762
00:33:58,279 --> 00:34:00,640
can change drastically between the end of spring in the

763
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,759
beginning of fall. But like today, what do you think

764
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:04,680
the deepest position for this Selish team is.

765
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,839
Speaker 4: It's a great question, and it's the wide receiver unit.

766
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,760
I think they're extremely talented and I know we just

767
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,400
talked a little bit of the defense. It important to

768
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,320
talk about the offense and the pieces that they have

769
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:17,199
right there, and it starts with that wide receiver unit.

770
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,880
Whether it's gonna be Chris Hilton, who had a fantastic

771
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,639
catch yesterday during live work from Garrett Nussmarch, just a

772
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:27,039
fantastic play, and again he's had a fantastic offseason. It's

773
00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:29,639
about bringing that into the regular season. We've heard it

774
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,639
time and time again. It's just about staying healthy. So ultimately,

775
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:34,519
the wide receiver unit is the group that I've been

776
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:37,840
looking at. That's the deepest on the entire team structs

777
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,880
with Chris Hilton, Aaron Anderson, Levion Thomas, that's been the

778
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,440
trio that's been working with the ones. Look at the twos.

779
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,320
You got Nick Anderson, Barrion Brown, even a Kyle Parker,

780
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,599
Destin Hill, Taylor. You could throw out seven receivers any

781
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:53,000
Saturday and you have the opportunity to be successful and

782
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:56,039
not skip a beat. You have a talented unit right there.

783
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,320
Forteed Tankan has a really good problem and that's a

784
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,000
ton of talent and it's about how he's going to

785
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
have to divvy up the snaps in twenty twenty five.

786
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,559
I'm excited to see how it fans out. Garret nuss

787
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,039
Meyer has been working with an embarrassment of riches during camp.

788
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,920
He's got that unit looking the part. It's about continuing

789
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,880
to ripple into the rest of the offseason and had

790
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,440
that work out.

791
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,119
Speaker 6: It's fun.

792
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 5: I mean, look, there's always been a lot of talk

793
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,079
about the receiver room. We know LSU is always going

794
00:35:18,119 --> 00:35:19,320
to have a bunch of receivers. I want to kind

795
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,000
of shift to the tight end room here a little bit,

796
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:23,519
because you'll lose a great talent in Mason Taylor, but

797
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,039
you have trade As Green back. By all accounts, Bower

798
00:35:26,119 --> 00:35:28,199
Sharp has been excellent in spring. How do you think

799
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:30,239
the combination of Bower Sharp and trade As Green, like,

800
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,639
how can they coexist.

801
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 6: In this offense?

802
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question. I think Bower Sharp's been

803
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,639
one of the winners of camp. I mean, he's been sensational,

804
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,360
he's dynamic, he's a great pass catchrick and put his

805
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,599
hands in the dirt and being a fish and blocker.

806
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,800
I think when you talk about a guy like trade

807
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,039
As Green, he's not necessarily a polished blocker just yet.

808
00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:50,159
Heading into year two, we know he's more of a

809
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,440
receiving threat at the tight end. So I think just

810
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:54,599
that dynamic of the boat of both of them together

811
00:35:55,159 --> 00:35:57,679
is a really positive sign for this team. I think

812
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,159
they are really solid one two punchs. We know, oh

813
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:02,719
that trade As Green. You know that five star top

814
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,599
side end in America, that guy that has really really

815
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,480
lived up to the heights so far during camp. We've

816
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,280
been excited to see it. It's about continuing once again

817
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,079
to have a good rest of the off season. And

818
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:14,920
then you look at a guy like Bower Sharp, a

819
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,559
guy who's coming in from Oklahoma, led the team in receptions,

820
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:20,880
in receiving yards, He's proven to be a receiving thread himself,

821
00:36:21,079 --> 00:36:23,000
but he also gives the ability to have a staky net,

822
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:24,679
put his hands in the dirt and then peel off

823
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,880
and catch a short pass in the backfield if needs be.

824
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,119
That's what Mason Taylor's specialty was last season, kind of

825
00:36:30,159 --> 00:36:32,880
being that safety net for Garrett Nusmeyer, those short, chunk

826
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,559
yard plays when needs be. I think Bower Sharp can

827
00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:38,880
really give an opportunity to continue to carry that into

828
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,079
twenty twenty five, where Garrett Nusmeyer doesn't have to skip

829
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,719
a beat after losing Mason Taylor. Then you throw in

830
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,280
the versatile aspect of trade as Green the rescue for success.

831
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,960
I think they have a really good opportunity to be

832
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,599
a solid tight end roumin twenty twenty five.

833
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,119
Speaker 5: So we've talked pretty positively so far about you know,

834
00:36:54,199 --> 00:36:56,199
how deep the receiving core is, how good the tight

835
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,360
ends looked. Zach biggest question mark for this team in

836
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,840
your eyes going into ball camp.

837
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's easy to sit back and talk

838
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,519
about the positives of this team and the depth that

839
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:07,480
they have in a bunch of different rooms. But the

840
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:10,320
one quote unquote concern in the one spot that I'm

841
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,159
intrigued to see if they utilize this spring window in

842
00:37:13,159 --> 00:37:14,880
the transperport is going to be at that safety room.

843
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:16,719
And again, I think that's one that a lot of

844
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,320
people are talking about. It's the spot that might have

845
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,760
the least amount of competition in that room, the least

846
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,599
amount of depth you've thrown in North Carolina State. To

847
00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:28,760
Marcus Cooley, a guy who's thrived in the ACC, it's

848
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,119
about upping the competition level and continuing to handle business

849
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:34,079
in the SEC. And then you look at the other

850
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:37,039
guys who are quote unquote not proven to Shaun Spears,

851
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,559
Joel Rodgers, Javian Toviana. Those are the four that have

852
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:43,280
really rounded out that room during spring camp, while Jordan

853
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,159
Gilbert nurses that shoulder injury. So there's a lack of

854
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,760
competition in that room and there's really a lack of depth.

855
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,000
I mean, you got four guys that are stolid, but

856
00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:54,000
you don't have that experienced piece who's dominated at the

857
00:37:54,039 --> 00:37:57,119
power four levels so far. So Marcus Cooley has handled business,

858
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,199
but he hasn't necessarily dominated. So for me, I think

859
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,000
is the matter of going in and potentially getting another

860
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:05,760
guy in the portal to add to that room and

861
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,239
try to up the competition up to talent level. You

862
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,239
got to Marcus Cooley, who's a fantastict defensive back, but

863
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,159
can you get somebody else next to him as well

864
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,199
that can really balance out the secondary and give them

865
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,840
kind of a nice core moving into twenty twenty five,

866
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:20,880
I think that safety room might be that one quote

867
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,760
unquote question.

868
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 5: Marks to this team, No, Zach, if they don't go

869
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:26,719
into the portal and they don't add another safety and

870
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,079
I agree with the out though they were going to

871
00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:31,320
add two in that first portal window. But if they don't,

872
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,400
let's say they roll with to Marcus Cooley and the

873
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:36,400
other guys they got. Let's assume Cooley gets one of

874
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,320
those starting spots.

875
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,519
Speaker 6: Who do you like next to him?

876
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question. And Brian Kelly talks about

877
00:38:42,159 --> 00:38:44,599
not really necessarily hitting the portal with fours during the

878
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:47,639
spring windows, so you might be dealing with what you got, right,

879
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,800
now and you throw into Marcus Cooley in one of

880
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,679
those spots. And at the other side, Davi and Tobiano

881
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,679
has been been getting a lot of reps with the one.

882
00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:56,840
I just want to see de Shan Spears take that

883
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,280
next to that man. I think he's got all the intangibles,

884
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,800
he's got the he's got the physical tools. It's just

885
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,320
about getting a little bit more aggressive and continuing to

886
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,639
become more of a heavy hitter. I think DeShawn Spears

887
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,320
has a chance to line up next to him, of

888
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,719
course next season, just a matter of if he takes

889
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,679
that next step. If you were to tell me right

890
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,679
now who I think it would be, it'd be Javian

891
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,760
Tooviano based off the reps that he's been getting with

892
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,159
the ones during camp. But if I really want to

893
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:21,960
see somebody take that next step and quote unquote surprise

894
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:23,880
some people, it's gonna be Shawn Spears.

895
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 5: Forget j out of here. Zach zach Naggi joining us

896
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,119
right now. His thoughts about the interior D line. I mean,

897
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:32,440
everybody talks about the addressers, how great they look look.

898
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:34,719
Kyle Williams is coming in your new D line, coach,

899
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,360
what have you seen from the interior right there on

900
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:36,960
the D line.

901
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, a really good question, Taylor, And for me,

902
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,239
obviously a mod bro and Dominic McKinley. Are those two

903
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,880
guys that be getting reps with the one you're sophomores,

904
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,840
you're kind of rising stars from the season ago, a

905
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,320
mod Brow exceeded expectations. Dominic McKinley came on towards the

906
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,760
back end of the season. Those are two guys that

907
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,920
are gonna have some lofty expectations atting end of this year.

908
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,239
You got to stop the run. It's a whole of

909
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,000
how it stopping the run. Stopping those mobile quarterbacks obviously

910
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:04,079
starts up front of the trenches. You've gotta have those

911
00:40:04,119 --> 00:40:06,679
guys dominated. So for me, during camp so far, you

912
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,920
can seeing a heavy dose of that one to two

913
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,239
punch inside of McKinley and bro throwing. See Mitchell, the

914
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,519
Texas transfer, who to me has had one of the

915
00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:17,760
better camps so far. On this defensive unit, I think

916
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,679
Sader Mitchell has a chance to take them impact the

917
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,159
snatch in twenty twenty five next to him with the

918
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:25,199
twos has been shown. Washington really intrigued to feel that

919
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,679
two deep depth chart shakes out. I think those are

920
00:40:27,679 --> 00:40:30,039
the four names obviously monitor, but don't sleep on a

921
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:33,519
guy like Zion Williams, a true freshman who's really emerged.

922
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:35,920
In my opinion, he has the physical tools, he looks

923
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,559
the part inside, doesn't look like an early en roller league.

924
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,599
This is a guy who looks physically capable of making

925
00:40:41,639 --> 00:40:44,519
an impact as a true freshman. Just a matter of

926
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:46,440
a style Williams wants to throw him in the fire early,

927
00:40:46,559 --> 00:40:49,320
but nonetheless we got some salon up front. And obviously

928
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,880
McKinley and Brow are two names to monitor, but don't

929
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,880
sleep on guys like Sade Mitchell of course, as Zion Williams.

930
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:56,599
And then you're kind of veteran in the room right

931
00:40:56,639 --> 00:40:58,920
now as shown Washington, those are the guys to watch,

932
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,559
as Jakobean Gillory can and you just get back in

933
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:01,599
the mix themselves.

00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,360
Eric hild. I mean he served as a director of

992
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,599
the Louisian High School Coaches Association since twenty nineteen, and

993
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,000
prior to that he spent twenty five years as a

994
00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:54,840
teacher and a coach here in the state of Louisiana. Look,

995
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,159
if he is the director of High School Relations, I

996
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,159
don't think you could have hired a more per if

997
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:02,440
a guy. First off, he's here in the state of Louisiana.

998
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,480
LSU builds their recruiting. Look, whether they dip in any

999
00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:08,920
school from the transfer portal, their foundation is still the

1000
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,039
state of Louisiana and that's where LSU goes first.

1001
00:44:11,679 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 6: Eric Keel is a guy that knows the coaches. He

1002
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:14,960
knows all the athletes.

1003
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 5: So if you're putting on summer camps, if you're putting

1004
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,119
on coaching clinics, Eric Kell, this is as simple as

1005
00:44:20,159 --> 00:44:22,079
a phone call for him. I mean he's been around.

1006
00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:24,320
I talked about twenty five years as a teacher and

1007
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,280
coach in this state and he's been director of the

1008
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,119
High School Coaches Association.

1009
00:44:27,679 --> 00:44:28,559
Speaker 6: Since twenty nineteen.

1010
00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:32,639
Speaker 5: He knows some people. Look, he was a Brother Martin graduate.

1011
00:44:32,679 --> 00:44:36,039
He played football at Nichols. He was a special teams captain,

1012
00:44:36,119 --> 00:44:38,960
So like, maybe can he help out with LSU special teams.

1013
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,840
I get it, you have analysts and support staff, but

1014
00:44:41,679 --> 00:44:44,119
now you can have whoever you want on the sidelines

1015
00:44:44,159 --> 00:44:45,599
during games like they do.

1016
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 6: Mistake about it.

1017
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 5: One of Brian Kelly's biggest achilles heels since he's been

1018
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,760
here at LSU has been special teams.

1019
00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 6: Maybe coach Hellad can help with that. He was at

1020
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,679
Saint Michael's. He was the head coach there.

1021
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 5: He was on Catholic staff on their football staff during

1022
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,760
the team's first state championship back in twenty fifteen.

1023
00:45:02,199 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 6: This is a guy that has been a lot of places.

1024
00:45:04,039 --> 00:45:06,559
Speaker 5: He's well connected, and he's had success everywhere he's bet

1025
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,639
And if you meet Eric Keld, if you ever have

1026
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,639
the pleasure of doing so, I have met Eric Keild,

1027
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,159
You're not gonna find a more personable guy, great personality.

1028
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,400
Coaches love him, the players love him. He did a

1029
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,880
great job with Louisiana High School Athletics for a number

1030
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,639
of years. This is the perfect higre for issue again.

1031
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:25,519
I'll go back to it unless she sets up a

1032
00:45:25,559 --> 00:45:28,559
lot of coaches clinics. Eric Kelt's great at that. He'll

1033
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:30,519
be great at setting up summer camps and seven on

1034
00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:33,000
seven camps and anything else you need looking at athletes.

1035
00:45:33,679 --> 00:45:34,639
Speaker 6: This is the guy to do it.

1036
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,519
Speaker 5: I don't think there could have been a more perfect

1037
00:45:36,599 --> 00:45:40,159
hire for director of high school relations then coach Eric keld.

1038
00:45:40,159 --> 00:45:42,079
All right, that'll do it for hour number two. Coming

1039
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,800
up in our third hour, Ali Kosell is gonna hop

1040
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,559
on with US Pelicans Insider. He's gonna talk his reaction

1041
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,440
to the firing of David Griffin, thoughts on Joe Dumars

1042
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,320
as the new VP out there in New Orleans, What

1043
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,079
does this mean for Willie Green, the Pelicans chances in

1044
00:45:59,159 --> 00:45:59,920
the draft lottery.

1045
00:46:00,039 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 6: We're gonna get into it all.

1046
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,599
Speaker 5: I know we're not typically a Pelicans heavy show, but uh,

1047
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,159
the news cycle they are dominating that lately. We'll get

1048
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:11,840
into Saints possibly outing to dB because Jalen Ramsey asked

1049
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,079
the Miami Dolphins for a trade. We'll see if the

1050
00:46:14,119 --> 00:46:17,119
Saints are interested and if they should be interested. Also,

1051
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,760
everyone's favorite quarterback in the state of Louisiana, Derek Carr,

1052
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,519
has a new YouTube channel. We'll play you a clip

1053
00:46:23,599 --> 00:46:26,280
of that, guys, it's as good as you think it is.

1054
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,000
And we'll close things out with a little bit of

1055
00:46:29,039 --> 00:46:31,599
Ask the Bench. There's still got a lot to do here.

1056
00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:36,039
On a Wednesday edition of OTB, recapping hours one and two.

1057
