Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: Well the plays get broken down and science gets denied.
Speaker 2: I got to come off the bench.
Speaker 1: Our two of Off the Bench Live from the Raisin
Kine Studio.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in oh t B live here
from the twenty twenty six Panini Senior Ball and of
course we are in the Mobile Convention Center in Our
trip is brought to you by First American Bank and Trust.
FABT dot com is the website there.
Speaker 2: Also, don't forget about friends over a go flow.
Speaker 3: Go flow iv dot com, Go flow iv SPA. If
you're feeling a little under the weather, which I'm sure
like as soon as this weather hit he started the
old sniffle season back up, go ahead and go see
our friends over at go flow, or if you want
to stay in front of it, Matthew, Yeah, you can
go ahead and go get an IVY to stay preventative.
Speaker 2: It's called being proactive. It's if you want to be
project about your treatment. We're talking about being proactive about
your health. Yep, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta etail,
be proactive, stay boots that immune system before you you
get the sniffles bos had, who's that hydration before you?
They have a couple of cocktails whatever it is, go
check them out, straight to the veins IVY therapy and
go flow IVY.
Speaker 3: All Right, some l s U football news, And I
feel like we're talking about this all the time because
he is a wanted man. But Charlie Weiss Junior did
speak to the Philadelphia Eagles about their vacant oc roll
and he decided to stay with the LSU Tigers. Armed again,
this is somebody that NFL teams, college teams are trying
to come after, want his services, and he turns down
another opportunity so he can stay with the LSU Tigers.
And so I would assume, Matthew, this is going to
be the last one of these. Like LSU fans can
maybe take a deep breath and almost maybe kind of
sort of yeah, you know, get excited for Charlie Weis
junior to be the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: It feels like these a lot of these coaches right
now get interviewed, have a really good PR team around them.
Because I feel like we're hearing more about candidates turning
down jobs, maybe not turning down, just taking their name
out of contention instead of just like their PR team
saying he wasn't hired. They're just like, like, have you
ever been through a cycle like this? We're like, oh,
he's he took his name out of that. No, it's
it's happening all over the place. Yeah, And then they're
they're very upfront with it because I don't know if
they're like trying to like whatever the image is, if
they don't feel like they have a good shot at
it or whatever. But it just feels like that a
lot of guys are taking their name out of out
of contention for a lot of these jobs. And he
saw it with with Mike mccaniel up at let's say
Cleveland and then Buffalo. Did you take the offensive coordinator job? Well,
he wanted to be a Bush league ball I get it,
Philip Rivers. Yeah, that one coaching high school right around
the bay, right across the bay from here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, literally at the foot of this bay is where
he's coaching. And that one always felt like he was
going to coach his son his senior year no matter what.
But I don't know how, like I don't know how
the interview went.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Uh, the Charlie weiss mood. I don't you
know his name is thrown out there certainly with a
lot of the NFL ranks, and I guess rightfully, so
their offense has been really good. He's been a successful
and successful play caller. But it does always surprise me sometimes,
especially this day and age, when coordinators in college offensive
coordinators in college get kind of the interest from the NFL,
because the NFL game and the college game is so different,
especially from an offensive philosophy standpoint, the operational standpoint of
how you run your offense. We've talked about it a
lot of how most of the most successful NFL offenses
don't represent or look like most of the successful college offenses.
They're more under center, they're more professional like pro style offense.
They have fullbacks, they have multiple tight end sets, they
use their mouth to call snap counts when they're in
the shotgun. So it is kind of surprising to me
that Charlie did get this interest, not from the fact that,
like he's not a great offensive coordinator and play caller,
just from the sheer fact that it's surprising that any
college coach coordinator does get his name thrown in there
with these pro jobs. Because the game is so much different.
It is different.
Speaker 3: It's closer than it's ever been before, but it still
is different because there's way like there's spread things from like.
Speaker 2: A skill set. Now, I would say it's further a
part than it has been before. Oh, I don't think so.
Speaker 3: I think when you look at like how many teams
in the NFL live in eleven personnel compared to like
what it used to be, you know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lass. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of teams running twelve personnel
for sure, But I feel like the spread principals have
found their way to the NFL more than they ever
had as far as like some of the college stuff.
Speaker 2: It's not maybe the lead stuff.
Speaker 3: But think about it, Okay, think about if when we
were coming out for the NFL and there would have
been all these spread principles like that wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Have been talked about it. Last year here at the
Senior Bolt, the quarterbacks couldn't take a snap under the center.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are things that you have to do, and
but you certainly have more I think, eleven spread personnel
than you ever have.
Speaker 2: But it's it's like going to be the lead thing.
How many times the trend Chambliss go under center last year?
Probably not zero. Yeah, like to me that the offensive
coordinator for an offense I didn't go under center once
is not getting an NFL job. I'm trying to think
about it very I looking at a very like that's
at a very shallow level. I guess.
Speaker 3: Kingsbury was able to go to the NFL and like
his and wouldn't always success.
Speaker 2: His immediate jump to the NFL was not successful. Right now,
once he learned and was able to probably adapt a
little bit more to what he did, then he became successful. Certainly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the under the center stuff, that is different because
not just receiving, but it's like your drops change, the
timing change when you oh.
Speaker 2: My god, yeah you read it changes. Yeah, you would
certainly have to have like a like a one of
those kind of quarterback coaches passing game coordinators with you
as well. Now, what can't be taken away is certainly
calling plays in a game is a skill set, like
you got it or you don't, Like, you got to
know how to push and pull and yeah, have it. Yeah, obviously, Yeah,
it's kind of like playing running back like you got
vision or you don't, like you can you can, you
could teach, you could teach different things what to look for,
but like at the end of the day, you got
to have vision as a running back. And it's the
same way with the play caller. And obviously Charlie Whites
has that he's really good at it, and so like
there's that skill set, but making the immediate jump going
to from immediately from that type of offense in college
to offensive coordinator, it's not surprising to me that he
would stick around step Harmum.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like you said, though, like even there's
a Bears coach turned it down, you know, trying to
think of the list Bears coach turned it down yesterday
as well, like even like the interview I think with
the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2: That's what gets me thinking, is this just a trend
by agents right now, Like if they don't think they
can actually get the job, we're turning it down. We're
turning it down, We're turning it down because I've never
heard like all of these people turning down taking taking
their name out of contention or whatever.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I saw those three names and
I was trying to think of the other name. I
know it's a Bears coach and it was obviously Charlie
whis junior butt. Again at the end of the day
for us, he on this LSU heavy show. It is
a good deal and Hump Palmer does have a ride
up on louisianasports dot net that you can check out.
Speaker 2: But good thing for LSU. Your offensive coordinator is in
high demand.
Speaker 3: You pair him with Lin Kiff and they've had a
lot of success since twenty twenty two. And now you
can move forward start implementing everything that you want to
do because well.
Speaker 2: The team is there.
Speaker 3: Like school started. We talked about that yesterday. Even when
you missed the deadline. Depending on who you know, it
doesn't matter. You can there's alignment.
Speaker 2: You can get into school.
Speaker 3: So it's just they're implementing this offense right now, like
they're currently talking terminology. They're currently let's see yep eight
or none yep. I bet they are probably working out
in the morning and then whatever meeting time. I don't
know what the hell are the rules anymore, nobody knows,
but he can start to install some of that and
so yeah, it is important to know that that is
going to be your guy, and it's going to be
the voice that leads your offense.
Speaker 2: So I remember having to like go do on field
training and like you have to carry like a water
bottle or something act like that was the football because
you couldn't have a football out if you were out there.
And we'd go to our seven on sevens in the
summer and Jimbo would be on the little cat walk
up there because he couldn't coach. Do you remember screaming
at us from you remember the time that we.
Speaker 3: We scrimmaged Southern and seven seven and JaMarcus set it
up and Jimbo, who's not supposed to be out there,
got so mad. It was was finally nothing happened, Like
we're out there, like we just wanted to go again.
Somebody else in Jimbo you could. I can't even I'm
trying to do a Jimbo without cussing, and it's really hard.
Speaker 2: Just blank Jim Marcus, yep, I remember that they said
we were not allowed to do that anymore. Hey, coach.
Right across the street from my hotel, there's a I
think there's somebody doing on an Instagram photo shoot one
of the rooms up there. Oh they are.
Speaker 3: Look they're doing selfie mode to oh look at the
pose hit the poses?
Speaker 2: Is that it inst photo shoot or of.
Speaker 1: What? What?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's embarrassing. How in the world did
your peaceized brain that couldn't even finish a question yesterday?
Spot this person on the let's see, elder, what would
you say? That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: Y'all can't see it, so you're probably like, this is terrible.
There was a person up there. You could see the
flashes of the camera and there it was a female.
Speaker 2: Every pose posts. I don't know what was happening. There's
a lot of skin showing, that's all I know. Oh
my gosh, holy cow, wow, embarrassing. You're done for the
rest of the day. Use all your brain power. Are
you saying your shock that as you were talking to me,
I found s like I saw something that's true. I
don't even know what we were talking about now, Oh yeah,
we were talking about scrimmage and.
Speaker 3: Jimbo's ah, yes, I's not supposed to be out there,
and he's out there yelling curse words from the balcony.
The first time I ever remember doing seven on seven
in the stadium, which again rules have changed so much.
Speaker 2: You couldn't have a coach out there. Think about how
dumb that is n CUAA.
Speaker 3: During the summertime, you're trying to get better as a team,
you're trying to have a seven on seven. You couldn't
even have a ga out there. It was literally players
leading the thing, and if the player led you astray
like you were screwed. Kind of, So luckily I had
Joe had died to help me out because some of
the my main alley cat JV and Charone didn't help
me out.
Speaker 2: Josephadai helped me out, tell me what Rode I had.
Speaker 3: To run, But jam Marcus when make a bath throw
or Marcus Randall. All of a sudden you'd hear Jimbo
Sweet nothing all through the Tiger Stadium because it was empty.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I thought, oh yeah, where is he?
He wasn't coaching though he was watching. I know he
can't hide that big oldhead of his. Oh yeah, yeah,
Now he definitely wouldn't make seven on seven scripts and
put him in our locker and then sit on the
catwalk and follow the script and yell at us.
Speaker 3: He went on the field though smart why they built
that catwalk. But for you LSU fans, don't worry because
they change the rules. And you know, I can go
out there and you can go through some of your plays.
You can have many practices. All right, we will take
a break here. We'll see what Flynn can find out

but sure as hell did hab it At eight fifteen.
Speaker 2: In the morning, God, what were doing around here? Clean
it up? Mobile? What are we doing? I think she thought, like,
I'm on the twenty eighth floor. Nobody, there's no way
anybody can see here. Sure, no, there's definitely not a
local radio station from that regional regional regional radio station
with the diagnosed squirrels here on the case.
Speaker 4: Talking about seven on seven against Southern Yep, Yeah, which
Richard Dick Dixon did text in and say, well, there
was a kid who had his head split open during
the Southern versus l HUO seven on seven, so that's
probably why they got mad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we it was a one time deal. Are bad.
They did not let us do that again because something
came up there. They played pretty hard. Yeah, I had
something to prove, just like everybody here this week, exactly. Yeah,
great transition, all.
Speaker 3: Right, give me the give me the Matt Flynn. How
he's going to take in practice? Are we going to
have the notebook out? Are we taking notes? Are we
going in with a list of players in our head
we're gonna are we gonna move around? Are we going
to make sure we're at the because one on one
receiver dB routes go on.
Speaker 2: At the same time. Yeah, the I actually don't know.
I don't even know what the setup is going to be.
It is my understanding that you just kind of like
got to sit in the stands and watch. I don't
have y'all's credentials, so I don't know. I know we
don't either, that's true. It's fair to I don't know
how they let us there.
Speaker 3: Hopefully, hopefully Molly hooked y'alls up. I know I can
go on the field with this one, but hopefully we'll
all be able to.
Speaker 2: Go on the field. Yeah, if if we do have that,
I will move around a little bit. I don't want
to just be sitting in cold temperatures, so I'll be
moving around a little bit. I'll certainly be watching. I'll
probably for the first day take the notebook, just because
I mean, we all know me with names, yeah, people
from around the country. I'm not going to be able
to see some of his face and be like, oh, yeah,
there's that one. I'm gonna go check him out. So
I know. So we have we have two We have
two practices today, so we do have an opportunity right
after practice to go on the field and get a
couple of sound bites get a couple of interviews, you know,
pull some kids away. So I'll be interested to see
how that all works out. That would certainly be my
first time in that situation of having to go like
flag down somebody and ask them a question. So we'll see.
I'm just like I said, I'm excited for the one.
I'm excited for the whole practice, just to see it
in action, to see the best on the best. But
I will I'm gonna bring the notebook for the first day,
see I use it.
Speaker 3: I'm going to assume that a Laune is going to
be the one that does the tracking down of players
and gets them into the interview. I can't see you
haymstering somebody.
Speaker 2: Yeah I'm not a hay mister guy, but you are
when you've when you started doing it, they couldn't have
been in your comfort zone. Actually, you know, I know
my cheat code. You know.
Speaker 3: My first time doing it was twenty nineteen LSU, So
I got very lucky. The first time I had to
do it. It was like all the guys that I've
known so and now I had Clemson that year too,
so I had to do them. But first up with LSU. So,
like any nerve that I had about doing it, It
just all went away because it was like, my guys,
so I got lucky.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's easy. That's a good break. Now my move.
Speaker 3: So we have the microphone, and I just I'm like,
all right, these kids aren't gonna know who the hell
I am, but they're going to recognize the serious XM logo.
And my move is always turned the microphone to the
serious logo. And I'm always like right here, like, hey
we here real quick, serious XM.
Speaker 2: That's my move. Yeah, it usually works. Okay, So do
we have a microphone? Do you have a microphone or
do we just have like little bitty uh we have
the little wireless ones? All right, I could have done
if we had like an ESPN.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can say yeah, it's been hey, okay, sorry,
I thought maybe you'd have a microphone.
Speaker 2: All oh hey mister people though, yeah, don't get you.
She's got you. Okay. I'll recognize coaches. That'll be like,
I'm not gonna recognize the players faces, right, you've flatched
all these I have jerseys when names on the back though. Yeah,
So but I will recognize a lot of coaches. Certainly,
I recognized a lot of these scouts just walking by. Now,
don't ask me their names. I'm a face guy though,
blocking him. So how you're gonna say hello if you
don't know their name. Oh, don't buddy them? Uh, what's up?
City slicker? What city slicker?
Speaker 3: Don't do that either, I might call security over there.
A city slicker?
Speaker 2: White?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Easy money? Yeah, just go easy money, my dad? Yeah?
What have easy money? Uh? Huh city slicker? I know
where you got that from. So we were talking about it.
Speaker 3: Yes, yesterday they did the measurements and Diego Pavia was
five to nine.
Speaker 2: And whatever would you say? Nine seven? Yes? Sure, one
hundred and ninety pounds.
Speaker 3: On Vandy's roster, Diego Pavia was listed at six foot
two hundred pounds, And so it had me thinking I
was gonna look it up. Matt Flynn two thousand and eight,
Green Bay Packer Profile six.
Speaker 2: There we go. I actually have some combine, but they
missed the quarter of an inch.
Speaker 3: But well, this is the official combine, so I don't
really know how they missed anything like.
Speaker 2: That's literally the measurement that was wrong. They probably weren't
doing quarter inches. Then let me ask you this. Well,
I mean, so the height. Obviously, that is a pretty
it's a pretty low height for a quarterback. And know
that there. It doesn't make It's not every quarterback in
the NFL has to be you know, the six four
six' five. Guy that used to be like the thing
like if you have the tall, guy if you have
the tall. Quarterback that's what he did the pro, Style,
like the game has changed a lot and you don't
have to be. That but certainly that height is something
to take in. Consideration AND i hate to say that
because there's plenty of, shorter shorter quarterbacks that have been
ultra successful in THE. Nfl BUT i think even those
quarterbacks were like five to eleven, ish so they got
an extra and then and what does that make a
difference with? It certainly seeing over the offensive lineman seeing
seeing over and of course you're not going to see
over the. OFFENSE i used to say that all the,
time Like, Okay i'm six two or. Whatever that's great and,
everything but like the people blocking are like sixty five six,
six SO i still can't see over. Them that's not
like seeing over them is not necessarily a, thing but
it does make a. Difference it makes huge difference in
in your vision down that like on short, passes certainly
down the field it gets a little bit. Easier Drew
brees was a master of finding moving his head. Around
you used to see him like up on his toes
with his chin up trying to get tall. Out but
like the short quarter of like a master of working
the pocket to see between offensive. Linemen and that's how
you have to how you have to do it as
a Quarter you have to find the. Windows you have
To you have to throw with ultra. Anticipation you have
to be a master of knowing what the defense is
trying to do and present to, you and where your
guys are going to, be so you can throw with.
Anticipation you never want to make a blind throw as a, quarterback,
certainly but a lot of throws that quarterbacks make is
you don't really see every single thing that's, happening but
you have a good understanding of body language that the
defender's given. You you saw they're running to a backside
dig route. Receiver you saw him come out of the break.
Clean you know he's moving at a good. Clip you know.
Exactly you might not have clean vision of, him but
you have a clean vision of the window you want
to throw it. At and you saw the safety what he's.
Doing you saw that he's playing cover two and he's
backed up and he's not a. Threat so there's a
lot of. That BUT i mean a red flag has
been thrown, up certainly by the media right now with that,
height AND i can only say it's something that scouts
are going to have to at least throw into the equation.
Speaker 3: When they're when They're and, also and this sounds but
there's a difference between five eleven and some change and
five nine and some.
Speaker 2: Change, Yeah LIKE i know it sounds like two.
Speaker 3: Inches, yeah but think about if we're talking about six
four and six two x six, Foot like there's a,
difference and like you can get away being a you,
know short. Quarterback but those are guys that are five eleven,
yep for. Sure not many guys Like Caller murray's kind
of the. Outlier there's five, Yeah Caler. Murray, YEAH i don't,
Know Kelmar, DELICIOUS i don't know how many, Eights so
BECAUSE i don't, care just just give me THEN i.
Know if they didn't go about, eights that's the thing
may be found.
Speaker 2: Him. Yeah The google SEARCH i did to find out
what your height.
Speaker 3: Was people also search On google when associated With Matt
flynn your Wife, Lacy Scott tolzene me, sure and do
you want to get who the fourth one? Was so
when people Google Matt, flynn it's your, wife, Me Scott
tolzen and one other human come up the.
Speaker 2: Most i'm gonna, say Either JaMarcus Or Aaron. Rodgers Brett. Hunley,
okay were you all? Together? No Green? Bay, no not at,
all not even.
Speaker 3: Close FORMER ucla. Quarterback all, right do you know Who
i'm talking? About, yeah, okay all right In Green? Bay, yes, yes, yes,
yeah new. Correlation we're basically tied.
Speaker 2: TOGETHER i didn't. KNOW i was, like you're all. BOYS
i don't. Know that's the four people. Looking i'm, like
great there, look, boom there it, Is Scott Toldzy Brett.
Hamley well he's not, Here scott. Is we Talked scott.
Yesterday he's going to be the. Quarterback, no the coordinator
call him plays. Plays that's. Right what a benefit we
talked about? This, yeah we talked about the advantage That
nesmier may. Have, yeah hey, dad, yeah we were talking
to him. Yesterday he was, like, Yeah, DAD i know
you're the, coordinator like can you prove? It and like
maybe send me the? Plays CAN i get the first? Install? Maybe,
yeah give me day one? Install like help your son out?
Here CAN i start learning right?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah but maybe maybe that's a maybe that'll be
a slight advantage of him learning the playbook a little bit,
more you, know because his, dad you, know made. It,
OBVIOUSLY i.
Speaker 3: AM i am rooting very hard For Garrett ausmayer to
do well here down To. Mobile and you Heard Drew,
fabianis who joined us in our number. One he agreed
with he thinks he has the most to gain of
any player that is here In. Mobile this week there's
over one hundred. Plays and he, said If Garrett nisamier
goes out there and does the things that we've seen
him do already on a football, field he kind of
made it sound like the sky's the, limit like there's
not going to be like a ceiling old how far
he can rise up the draft.
Speaker 2: Wars, YEAH i got a hard time kind of prescribing
to What drew said with he can work himself back
up to like people talking about my first, rounder but
he can certainly MOVE upti.
Speaker 3: What do you think the ceiling is then for us
first seventy five, picks first Ninety.
Speaker 2: Mmm like a love second Rounder i'll, say like a
first seventy picks that puts you in the middle of
the third. Round, YEAH i. COULD i could see. That,
yeah as far as it's, like if he goes out
and does everything the exact right, way balls, out show
that he is the guy that through for four thousand,
yards can he get to Where Tyler sheet got drafted fortieth?
OVERALL i don't think, so, no, because like Like drew,
said you can unsee the, good but you can un see.
RIGHT i think there's gonna be a little bit of hesitation,
there and the bad's the last taste in your. Mouth,
yeah AND i think that there is with this draft
class bean so. Week at, QUARTERBACK i just don't see
a lot of guys going high high. LIKE i see
people focusing in on edge, rusher receiver like and a
lot of other positions and then a run on quarterbacks mid, rounds,
yeah mid to late.
Speaker 3: Rounds, yeah all, right we uh will take a break.

the colleges represented here at The Senier, bowl which school
has the most, Players who has the most players this?
Year who has the most? Players which school has the
most at The Senior? Bowl all? Right, Iowa iowa has? Five,
yeah it feels like a. Lot, yep they do not
have the most more than. Five there's actually four teams
with five representatives from The University TEXAS a AND M Texas,
Tech Penn, state And. Iowa, okay so there's one that has. More.
Yep there is one college that has six representatives.
Speaker 3: Here oh, man give me The CONFERENCE. Sec, oh it
just means, more means. More, Alabama, Arkansas. Arkansas, YEP i got. It.
Speaker 2: Definitely everyone was thinking That. Arkansas Jaylon green of, course,
Quarterback Fernande carmona offensive, Lineman Cameron, ball defensive, Tackle Xavion sorry,
Linebacker Mike washington junior running, back And Julian Neil. Corner
so what you're telling me Is Sam pittman. UNDERACHIEVED i. Guess. So,
YEAH i was kind of looking at the list just
BECAUSE i WAS i was looking at. WEIRD i was
trying to find. Them uh the kid From iowa's name
and who he definitely thought Was. Bo by the, Way,
yeah because there's A Bo stevens offensive, lineman there's A
Jennings dunker offensive. LINEMAN i think we can.
Speaker 3: All agree, though now that we have kind of done
a little bit more research and due, Diligence Jennings dunker
like makes actually more.
Speaker 2: Sense, yep like seeing, yep, yep seeing him. Out so
he's the top of the list right. Now both players
are watching the draft first maybe first overall. Pick, Yeah
Jennings dunker offensive. Oneman BUT i was looking at, him
AND i was, like, MAN i always got a lot
of people. Here SO i started looking at that AND
i was, like good, Lord, arkansas one of the worst
teams of THE, sec got six. Again Sam, PITTMAN i like, You,
Yeah i'd love to sit. Down and the other sixteen
starters must have been shoot the. Bull but, yeah good
offensive line, Coach, yeah really. Good, yeah but they got some. Talent,
Certainly hopefully we get to catch up With Taylor green as,
well who came in measurement six six. YESTERDAY i was
going to, say, like he certainly looks the. Part yeah he.
Speaker 3: Does Jennings dunker right. Now you want to know where
he's ON espn Dot, com the big, Board, yeah like
where he's at one for. You he is the sixth
rated offensive, tackle, okay and fifty first prospect.
Speaker 2: Overall all, right so.
Speaker 3: We're talking we're second, rounder second, rounder second round. Guy,
absolutely they want to start his way to A day one.
GUY i want to see him get a fight this.
Week no one's gonna pick that fight with.
Speaker 2: Him judge. Him by the way that he. LOOKS i
think you'll see. THAT i don't think anybody's gonna accept that.
CHALLENGE a, unit beautiful red.
Speaker 3: Bullet LIKE i do, AGAIN i do wonder like where
The saints are going to look. In we talked about,
corner we talked about edge, rusher we talked about. RECEIVER i,
mean the offensive, line you finally got to figure it.
Out it, tackles but offensive. GUARD i, mean how much
have we talked about Like Caesar ruiz and like where he's.
At so offensive line certainly could be a place offensive,
GUARD i would. Say and then you got like the
center positions odd because Like aerin McCoy likes a dude
when he's in, there but he's just not in there very, often, Right,
so like how much you have to start thinking about
trying to find a center where you can count on
or at least a young guy that win Inevitably cooy goes.
Speaker 2: DOWN i, mean is this a classic when you need
so many different positions when you want to get is
this a classic case of truly best available? PLAYER i,
mean MAYBE x out a couple of. Positions certainly you're
not taking, quarterbacks you, know maybe maybe you're you, say all,
Right i'm not doing running back in the first or second,
round and maybe highlight these. POSITIONS x out a couple
positions you don't want to taking the Top but like
truly best, available because, yeah you need, offensively you need,
edge you need, corner you need, receiver you need you
need all all the. Things, right there's NO i don't
think there's any position outside of quarterback that you're, like,
man we need top talent at that, spot or at
least one more at that. Spot so this and you
hear it a. Lot you hear gms that are truly
best available. Guys you hear people that are that draft on. Need,
well when your needs are so, much it's, like, well
let's just take the best dude. Available, okay we're we're.
Drafting this is our pick in the second. Round if
the best available guy is an offensive lineman and you
haven't taken an edge rusher, yet or you haven't taken a, receiver,
like is it? Truly, like, man this is the best.
GUY i think he's better at his, position and this
other guy is at his.
Speaker 3: POSITION i think in the first round The saints have
to get an offensive, weapon.
Speaker 2: Be it. Receiver just go all into The tyler, shuck,
RIGHT i, Would, YEAH i, LIKE i.
Speaker 3: LOVE i Love Jeremiah no pun intended From Notre. Dame
and we've had this conversation before And Nick underhill is
going to join.
Speaker 2: Us at nine am coming. Up but we've had this conversation.
Speaker 3: BEFORE i don't know that running back is WHERE i
would go for The, saints though not, early not that.
Speaker 2: Early Is Jeremiah love going to be a really good?
PRO i believe.
Speaker 3: SO i think he even makes sense in the top.
TEN i think if The chiefs get him at, nine
that feels like a big win for, them adding to
what they. Need they need somebody that they can count.
On If i'm The, saints, though man If Jordan tyson
From arizona states there AND i know it's where Mel
kiper had him as, well it'd be hard for me
to pass up a weapon For Tyler.
Speaker 2: Shuck, yeah it's kind of one of those things that
you've been looking for. It you've been looking for that.
Quarterback you got your, dude so build around. IT i
would give THEM i would. DO i would go all,
in you, know even a free agency like whatever you
can do to go find him weapons in the, draft
find him, weapons make sure you got that build around
your quarterback, offensively and even if that means your, defense
you have, to you, know piecemell it together and just
be a suitable. Defense of, course you don't want a bad,
defense but you can always come the next year and
try to fix that part of the like but if
you got your, quarterback which is the most important, piece
you go find weapons around. Him SO i, MEAN i
think you're. Right but also building around your quarterback is offensive,
line so you got to protect. Him then you got
to give him weapons as.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah And cardinal tap From Ohio state is kind
of the other receiver that is in the same conversation
of being a top ten.
Speaker 2: Pick and so no matter how it, goes and you
got to do your due, diligence you got to go
through the.
Speaker 3: Process But Cardinal Tate Jordan tyson feel like they would
be fits for The New Orleans saints if you, do
in fact add that playmaker For Tyler, shuck because we
talked about. It Like Makaya lemon At, USC i think
is a. Stud he's not the. MOLD i don't think
you're looking looking. For as far as body, type he's
going to be a. PLAYER i think for a long
time he's more of A Jay flowers type, receiver which
it Look Zay flowers certainly has his spot in THE.
Nfl BUT i think you need somebody who's over six,'
one somebody that can high point, The football somebody that
in the red area you can go to, with CONFIDENCE because,
i mean you've got who do you have right now
that you feel like You, can't well he can't countle
him being in, the. Game juwan you can't countle him holding.
The football so you need somebody for your quarterback that
in the. Red area, You're, like hey it's a one on.
One matchup i'm putting it in a SPOT and i
know my guy's going to come down with.
Speaker 2: The football you don't have that, Right now no. You
don't and you saw that towards the end of, The
Year tyler schuck played like it didn't really matter who
was in there because who knew the people that were
actually in there getting past the thrown. From him so
it was and he played well and he made the best,
of it and the coaches made. The bet they formulated great,
game plans they. Executed them and so with these guys
that found their way to a roster spot and a
uniform towards the end of, the year that we're running
routes For the saints and, making plays imagine what we
can do with a few, More WEAPONS so i THINK
it's i think receiver certainly in the top three rounds has. To,
go yeah, BUT yeah I mean, i agree Build Around.
Tyler schuck you got a guy you've, been wanting. A
guy you said that was the dominant that needed to
fall the. Entire time well, it fell so let's knock some.
More over, all right we will take.
Speaker 3: A break we got another hour coming your way here.
Very Soon Nick Underhill New Ones dot football joined us.
Speaker 2: AND confirmed, i think.
Speaker 3: Can he come here like he's supposed to be. A,

As well it's incredible process over There at Rous's ind rolses.
Speaker 2: DOT com a lot of chatter in the chat a
lot of going back and forth about maybe What the
saints need in this.
Speaker 3: UPCOMING draft i, will say, you know a running back
at eight For, the Saints and I'M normally i am
in the camp of fighting for the, running BACKS and
i Do Think jeremiah love is a really. Good player
to be selected, at eight you got to be Like
a christian. McCaffrey player you got to be SOMEBODY that,
i KNOW and i know he's had, his injuries but,
COME on, I mean seemac when he's, been healthy he's
been as good as. Anybody like you got to be
a complete game changer In the saints.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 3: They have it's, A need it definitely is, a NEED
but i don't think it's their most. Pressing need AND
so i don't Know That jeremiah love at eight makes
a lot of sense for the new.
Speaker 2: Orced things, All Right jacob hester's watching. The Draft roger
goodell comes out, and says with its picking one Of
the Saints Like. Jeremiah Love jacob hesser.
Speaker 3: DOES what i don't think it's a doomsday Situation. Like
pilla i'm not like punching the air and like taking Immediate.
To twitter that's Not what, i'm Doing but i'm saying who?
Was available was there an edge? Rusher Available Was ruben?
Bain available to keep?
Speaker 2: Your, composure yeah It Was cardinal.
Speaker 3: Tate AVAILABLE because i don't think it's the worst pick
that you, could ever, you know making the history of
the draft by, any means but it's certainly NOT where i.
Speaker 2: WOULD go i would not. GO there I just i
Don't like christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 3: Or guys and there's like not many of those guys walking,
The earth like he's like a, mythical, Creature right and
SO if i don't have that guy that's sitting right
in front, of me WHICH again I think Jeremiah, loves
good he's, not THAT then I would i would not
like To, pick NO but i mean it wouldn't be,
the WORST but i certainly wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Like, it okay, Well, me yeah you could do a, lot,
worse certainly but it's not the pick they need. To,
make no would you rather see a random defensive lineman
Taken Than jeremiah love if it's one of THE edgdressers i,
BELIEVE in, i, like, yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, LINEBACKER no i think, YOU'RE well i THINK you're
i think, you're okay long live acker at. Eight good
you better be, a dog be.
Speaker 2: Top ten you gotta be a dog yead.
Speaker 3: For sure but there's some, positions, quarterback, Tackle edge.
Speaker 2: Yes yep somebody made the comment of The chat. Christian
mccaffert look at, the clock half.
Speaker 3: Clock integrity we'll be back up new once stuff Football
