Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn say.
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air Control live from the Mercedes Benz
Baton Rouge Studio.
Speaker 3: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back in our
number three of ot B here on this Monday morning.
Speaker 4: It is moving right along.
Speaker 5: Uh so much so that we had like winners that
we wanted to get to that we spent multiple statements.
We hadn't even gotten there yet. We've got l s
U kind of training camp to talk about as it
starts this week. We've talked a little Saints training camp.
We've got our guy Devin snow aka hold the Mayo
set to join us. Alandra, I know you had multiple
weekend winners. I have one more as well, but I
want to turn it over to you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I have a couple of more.
Speaker 2: One of the other ones that's nonsports related. We'll hit
that one real quick, Taylor, I put the video in
the doc.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: I do need audio for this one. So if y'all remember, yeah,
that one. If y'all remember a few weeks ago or
maybe a couple of weeks ago. Time doesn't exist to
me anymore. But that whole Coldplay thing happened where the CEO,
the Astronomer CEO, and the HR lady that he apparently
allegedly was having an affair with.
Speaker 6: There, I mean, they were just they werenudling. They went viral. Yeah,
they're team building.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: She has HR well is HR with my.
Speaker 4: High to.
Speaker 2: So I love a good marketing and I gotta give
a shout out to our guy Nookie.
Speaker 6: He sent this to me over the weekend.
Speaker 2: I love a good marketing strategy. And the Astronomer social
media team hired Gwyneth Paltrow, who is Chris Martin from
Coldplay's ex wife. There's some people on the internet I
discovered this weekend that did not know that they were together,
And I'm like, how can we forget the conscious uncoupling,
like the fact that they called it that.
Speaker 6: How can we forget that they named their kid Apple?
But anyway, true, Gwyneth did.
Speaker 2: A little ad for Astronomer, and I don't think she
cusses in this, but we're gonna play like a little
a little bit of it because.
Speaker 4: If she does, we'll cut it off.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I'm
Gwyneth Paltrow. I've been hired on a very temporary basis
to speak on behalf of the three hundred plus employees
at Astronomer. Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over
the last few days, and they wanted me to answer
the most common ones. Yes, Astronomer is the best place
to run APATCHE airflow, unifying the experience of running data
mL and AI pipelines at scale. We've been thrilled so
many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.
As for the other questions we've received, Yes, there is
still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September.
We will now be returning to what we do best,
delivering game changing results for our customers. Thank you for
your interest in Astronomer.
Speaker 6: I mean that is just genius.
Speaker 2: I love that so much, and you know way to
take advantage of this viral moment that you had. So
I just got to give a weekend winner to the
social media team and the marketing team of Astronomer because
that is just so great.
Speaker 6: I love that service.
Speaker 8: Self awareness is like the only way to survive a situation. Own,
you gotta own it, lean into it.
Speaker 9: They type up the actual question and they're like, we're
not answering any questions. We're gonna completely deflect. So open
about that. That was great.
Speaker 2: So if you were listening on the radio, they were
putting up the questions up on the screen, and one
of the questions was what the actual f and then
she was like, yes, we do have best data workflow.
And then the other question was like, how is your
social media manager doing? And then that's when she talked
about the other thing. So, yeah, it's just so well done.
Speaker 4: I love it well, very very well done, and I
think not how you wanted it to happen.
Speaker 5: But none of us had heard of that company ever ever,
nor would we have ever heard of that company, and
now everybody knows that company.
Speaker 8: Maybe they're playing chess and we're all playing checkers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just are you saying that the CEO ahead
of HR kind of fell on the knife.
Speaker 6: I love this conspiracy theory.
Speaker 8: Maybe Hey, I know y'all are wanting to step down anyway,
so let's do this. Yeah little on the back en.
Speaker 4: Okay, it worked?
Speaker 9: How would worked?
Speaker 4: It worked?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 5: I'll go one then Elandra. I think you've got some more,
but weekend winner. So Madden twenty six came out with
their ninety nine club, right, all the players that are
ninety nine, it's very exclusive, very rare. Only seven, only
seven players this year. You've got Lane Johnson offensive lineman
for the Philadelphia Eagles, Lamar Jackson quarterback of course for
the Ravens. You've got Saquon Barkley running back for the Eagles.
You've got Josh Allen quarterback for the Bills. You've got
Miles Garrett edge rusher for the Browns. And then you've
got Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson. Sure, if there was
any doubt, who's you know, the true wide receiver.
Speaker 4: You was, I think this puts it to rest.
Speaker 5: It is LSU because you also have elite neighbors and
Brian Thomas Junior, amongst others.
Speaker 4: LSU has that title.
Speaker 5: You have only two receivers with the entire game that
are ninety nine, and they both went Tallishoe.
Speaker 8: In Bengals history. To get jo when I was filling
in for you guys the Monday following SEC Media Day,
so last Monday, I did a little segment kind of
on this but a little bit different.
Speaker 9: So you've seen like NFL coaches and execs have been
ranking like top ten players per position, three LSU wide
receivers in the top ten, Chase Jefferson, elite neighbors. You
could argue Brian Thomas could be there.
Speaker 5: Too, Brian Thomas Junior one NFL dot Com Rookie Offensive
Player of the Year.
Speaker 9: Well, and the thing was, like you hear wide receiver,
you it's always LSU House State Alabama, Ohio State had
one guy. Alabama had zero ls. You had three in
the top ten. And that's it. It's done.
Speaker 8: I could drop this, mic, I would, well, Mom will
drop if you give it long enough.
Speaker 4: It's true. So I hadn't gone to good Wood. See too.
Speaker 2: My last weekend winners got to give a shout out
to the twenty twenty five Baseball Hall of Fame, and
each row shout out each Heiro, shout out C. C. Sabbathia,
Billy Wagner, Dave Parker, and Richard Allen, all well deserved.
Of course, each hero we all know was one away
from being unanimously inducted. And we were talking about this.
Mo Rivera is the only other person.
Speaker 5: That, yeah, that writer, just like referees when they blow
a call. Yeah, you should have to get up in
front of his We need to publicly shame him.
Speaker 2: It was like he probably just wanted to contrarian take,
you know, like one of those things, like everybody's going
to vote for each hero, so I'm not going to
vote for him, but we don't have I was gonna
play the video, but we don't have to. So each Heiro,
I want to give like a specific we can winner
to him though, because this is really funny, he acknowledged
the fact that one of them didn't vote for him,
and he was like, three thousand hits or two hundred
and sixty two hits in one season are achievements recognized
by the writers.
Speaker 6: Well all but one of you. So love that for
each Heiro and.
Speaker 2: Way to take a little jab at the one person
that didn't vote.
Speaker 4: A good speech. I don't know if y'all watch it.
Speaker 5: He's like in twenty fifteen, the Miami Marlins called me.
I gotta be honest, I'd never heard of them before
before they called me.
Speaker 2: I think he wants to like go into stand I
mean I feel like he wants to go into stand up.
Speaker 6: Really, it was a great speech.
Speaker 4: It was a great speech. Yeah, that was really well done.
Speaker 2: And I love CC Sabathia. He is one of my favorite.
Like it's no Rivera.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: CC Sabathia is awesome, So I'm happy for him as well.
Speaker 6: Billy Wagner from the Astros.
Speaker 5: Yeah, even like a year with the Braves, like he
had a nice career.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: All of these are so well deserved, and I really
wish Idro would have been another unanimous one.
Speaker 6: But is what it is.
Speaker 9: We were talking about it the other day, like it's
it's been like people have been open about like we
don't think anybody deserves to be unanimous like that. That's
kind of like a thing with these with these baseball
writers and these Hall of Fame voters. I don't really
understand that because like basketball and football, you have unanimous
first bellot all the time. Yeah, like what makes you
so high and mighty? It makes baseball so special that
it's like nobody deserves to be unanimous. That shows how
good Mariano Rivera is that they actually backtracked on that
a little bit. I have one more weekend loser. Niko
Yamaliavo my favorite college quarterback to make fun of that's
my guy. So look, we know that he was getting
paid a little over two million a year, and reports
came out he told Tennessee he wanted four million a year. Well,
then a report came out that he had reached out
to Miami, Ole, Miss, Oregon, all the big time spenders,
saying hey, will you pay us this? Ultimately he makes
less money goes to UCLA. Well, he was talking to
media days and he said, my driving factor to coming
back home was my family. That's not true, because you
didn't want to go to UCLA. You reached out the
three or four other schools before that, you reached out
to Oregon, you reached out to Miami, you demanded more
money from Tennessee, all of that before going to UCLA. Like,
that's a lie. He just got up. There's like, well,
you know, I wanted to come home because of my family,
My big, big family. Guy is old Nico all of
a sudden, don't don't care about the four million a year.
I just want to be closer to the fam. That
that's a lot. Like shut up, Nico, go away, just.
Speaker 8: Own it, right, I mean professional football players. You got
NFL guys, Yeah, we get it. You take and it's okay.
It's okay to sign somewhere for money. It's great.
Speaker 9: You know what this reminds me of?
Speaker 5: Yeah, like yeah, it comes with criticism.
Speaker 4: It's fine, like it does.
Speaker 5: Like it's like, how many times is a guy NFL,
they are NBA, MLB, n HL, whatever, ML's I give
you a shut up. He signed somewhere else, and you're like,
I hate that guy because he signed for more money.
He didn't stay loyal. That happens all the time. You
got the money, but just own it.
Speaker 9: Michael Parsons did I mean not my compartment. He hadn't
got paid. Miles it. Miles Garrett did this when he
was saying, you know, I haven't re signed yet. I
want to go play for a contender and win a
Super Bowl. And he re signs with Cleveland, He's like, oh, oh, well,
you know, I just I still you want to hear yeah, well,
they made you the highest feedin quarterback, Like it's fine,
take the money if you want, but like, don't don't
blow smoke. Like we know what's going on. It's fine,
but and I just I didn't like it.
Speaker 8: It's kind of like when the uh, the all the
live golfers went over and they were saying, because it's
gonna it's good for the game, gonna grow the game,
not that they can hundred million dollars. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I mean, look, if somebody paid me a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 8: I'm going until Brooks Cap go is just like, yeah, yeah,
I did it. It's a lot of money, paid me
a lot of money. Yeah, it's fine. Respect.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that is completely fine to do that.
Just know it's gonna come with some backline. But you
did it. You said your family up.
Speaker 8: Don't you be out there listening to this and being
all hypocritical. You do it too. Yeah, I'm talking to you.
Speaker 4: Who you you.
Speaker 8: That's hypocrites? Say no, you should want to win championship.
Speaker 4: All right, let's go ahead, U c l A. Let's no.
Speaker 5: Actually, before we take a break, I want to remind

Speaker 1: From players to legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown LSU football
only champions.
Speaker 5: Can all right, welcome back here in OTV one of
four five ESPN Baton Rouge. The power I think is
fully back on in this place. They're trying to hold
the man down. They're trying to hold our guy, Devin
snow aka hold the Mayo down. I don't know how,
but I'm sure Cox somehow got into the power grid.
Even though they don't do electricity, they do internet. I'm
sure they messed it up for everybody involved. But we
got dead. They can't hold you down.
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, what was that song? Just now? Bro? What
in the hour apostyle? Was that?
Speaker 7: That was.
Speaker 11: Jesus?
Speaker 2: That's more like Twilight soundtrack that I was doing, Like
the baseball scene in Twilight.
Speaker 6: That's a song that playing.
Speaker 4: In the back.
Speaker 11: Okay, it's a good movie, actually it is.
Speaker 10: I like that not a great song, just not a
great song.
Speaker 6: I disagree with both of you.
Speaker 4: Davi, did you shop there?
Speaker 5: It feels like like that was a core memory for you.
Speaker 10: No, no, no, that was everybody from Kenna went to Aracon.
Speaker 5: All right, So like I mean true circle here, like
you would find me in an Abercrombie or a Hollister
back in the day.
Speaker 4: Look, it is what it is. What about you?
Speaker 5: Where are you going to find a young Devin Snow
And he was like fifteen to seventeen.
Speaker 4: He was looking for a fresh fit.
Speaker 10: Okay, easy, So Abercrombie house, that's two of them. I
mean American Eagle for jeans. But also, you know, I
was a while dude, so I was in spenses as well,
and then I was also in sports Avenue because I
used to love to buy jersey.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying that sports Avenue, So yeah, yeah,
what about that?
Speaker 8: What about cologne? We've we've had this discussion. We used
to wear like cool water or Curve Yeah, Curve yeah,
I mean Eric, let's be honest.
Speaker 10: Fis from abercro Humdi. I mean, I know it was
super popular and it was talked about a lot then,
but I don't think we talk about it enough now.
I mean, I truly believe you could throw on Fis
right now, and you know it's been long enough to
where maybe people forgot to wear The first comment would
be like, Wow, what a cologne. You know what I'm saying.
But Fias was a great cologne.
Speaker 5: Dude, timeless, Like I don't know if this is for everybody,
but like for me, Like I think it's like the
colone my dad used to wear, because like it was
like that's the first experience that I had, like trying
to smell like a grown up. It's like going in
and my dad had Calvin Klein obsession. Like if I
smell that to this day, like I immediately think of
my dad, Like did you ever have to sneak in
their dev and try to smell good in middle school?
Speaker 4: And you had to steal your dad's Colonne?
Speaker 10: Wasn't my dad's. I don't even know if my dad
will cologne. But I know my grandpa, you know he
loved brute. I mean they buried my grandpa with a
bottle of fruit. You know what I'm saying, No doubt.
I bet you could still smell it at the grave
right now. Some good stuff.
Speaker 4: Huh oh, no question. Uh. Dev.
Speaker 5: I know you've you've gone to training camp for the
New Orleans Saints. I'm headed there on Wednesday, looking forward
to getting kind of, you know, my own eyes on
the quarterback battle Spencer Ratler Tyler shuck.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: I know you were there a day they had a
training camp fight, which is a story and a tale
as old as time, like you got to have some
of those.
Speaker 4: So how was your day at Saints Camp?
Speaker 10: Dude? It was It was good, man. The only thing
that kind of stopped me and kind of put me
in a daze was that was the same morning that
Hulk Cogan died. So like, you just heard everybody around
you talking about that, and I don't know, I just
kind of got thrown off by that. But anyway, yeah,
I mean, not the most impressive practice offensive. I can
tell you that it looked like, dude, it looked like
they got a long way to go. That red zone
offense was who I mean, dude, you had three false
starts then the fight. I don't think any quarterback really
looked great that day, and everybody kind of looked mid,
which I think is what we're dealing with. Let's just
be honest here, let's just put it out on the plate.
Were dealing with three mid quarterbacks, dude. It's just like,
that's that's what it is, man, And hopefully one can
be a little better than mid and and get us
a few winds. But that's what it looks like right now.
I mean, Spencer Rattley had that day last week when
he went ten to ten. I'm still on the train
of Spencer Ratle is gonna wind up being the starting
quarterback for Game one. But yeah, I mean the day
that I went Jay Kna looked the best. But we've
seen this story before.
Speaker 8: I think you're the you might be the first person
to actually say it out loud about you know, it's
not not anything positive about the quarterbacks. All we've been
here and from from folks at Camp's they had and
looking good. They've completed this many passes and I can
tell you, like red zone is like a really hard
day for the offensive. Red zone install periods usually never
looks good for the offense. You got those days sometimes
like they're depending on what the install is. But like,
but just from like an optics perspective, them throwing the ball,
how are they? I mean do they does anybody stick
out like talent wise?
Speaker 10: I mean, if you're talking about like actually slaying the ball,
I mean, the only one that's really looks so other
than that one day from Rattle at ten to ten,
I mean, the only one that really looks solid. I
mean's Jay Kym dude and which is you know, like
I said, we've seen this before, but it's just under
the bright lights. We can't forget how Jay Cane looked
under the bright lights until he shows us something. It
would it would take a miracle, a miracle performance by
Jay Kane and Fuss to be like, okay, we'll forget
about it. You know, Tyler Shark, I'm seeing a lot
of check dams. He's a young quarterback, rookie, you know,
seeing a lot of check dams. But also at the
same time, I'm seeing a lot of throwaways from him
and rattle, a lot of Derek carthrow And you hate
to see it, you really do.
Speaker 4: I hate to see anything related to Derek Carr.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't want it to be in the same
area code, zip code nothing with Derek Carr. So look,
but you know the problem is, Derek Carr was a
very veteran quarterback. That's a young quarterback, and so maybe
that gets fixed there. I mean, dev I don't know
if you heard the other day, but we're breaking down
the NFC South. According to ESPN dot Com and the
rosters in the NFC South, Tampa Bay came in at twelve,
Atlanta came in at twenty six. Carolina came in at
thirty and the Saints for thirty second dead last as
far as what they had on the roster there in
New Orleans. So it gives you a couple of things,
Like on the negative side, you've got the worst roster
according to some ESPN experts, But on the other like
the NFC South kind of sucks in general, so maybe
you do have a chance of winning some games and
surprising some people.
Speaker 10: Definitely feels like we have the worst, that's for sure.
It really does, man, And that's no disrespect to any
particular player, but it really feels like that. I mean,
especially like when you laies on the roster, Like if
you go pull it up on the internet, dude, it's like, what,
like how did we get here? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Is that with dev Is that with the like starting
twenty two? Is that with like the totality of the
roster or is it just like because I like I'm wondering, Okay,
the first twenty two Okay, not too bad for me,
it's a depth issue with the Saints, Like after the
first twenty two, guys, I'm like, it is, guys off
the street, it feels like because they're so unproven, Like
what is it for you or.
Speaker 4: Is it just everybody?
Speaker 10: I mean, definitely the depth part, you could definitely see it, Dad,
But I mean it's like going to a call lot,
right and it's just like they don't have anything that
really stands out, you know what I'm saying. Like they
ain't got a rap though on the lot, you know,
but they got a bunch of Ford ranges us you know,
single cab, Like they just ain't got like a performance
vehicle on the lot. Dude, Like, I mean, let's start
with the defense. Who's your best player on defense? Right now?
It's like the same guys that we kind of been
that we've kind of been saying for a decade, dude, Like, Okay,
you got the Mario Davis. You know he's he's he's
the best player out of the linebackers. Uh, you safeties
Now you can say just I mean your DBS. Now
you can say Justin Reid is the best player you
know in the defensive backfield. And then on your d line.
I mean you're either gonna say who uh Brezee Cam
Jordan's Chase Young none of that, mo, you know, none
of that at this point like super star players. Offensively,
kamaraw Camara is our best player. Still, It's just I
don't know how we got here. I don't know how
we gotta gotta. You gotta pray that dude like Danny Stutsman,
who looks really good, you gotta pray that, you know,
he turns into like a huge impact player. Breze, He's
got to really like take that next level this year,
really be disruptive. That's what I'm excited about the pad
this week, dude, That's what I'm just ready to see.
Who's ready to be a star dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Brazil's got it, certainly. Yeah, that's a good call.
Speaker 5: Like he's got to be a three down, can't just
rush the past or He's got to be something in
the run game two you I mean you select him
in the first round, Flynn, You a deep tackle.
Speaker 10: You got to be a three guy, a guy like
Kendre Miller. You know, like for real, bro, we really
need you to you know what I'm saying, Like we
needed to happen this year, Chris Olave. It's got to
happen this year.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 10: You know, gotta stay healthy. I still worry about to
receive this stuff like, because you know, they they always
rave about how good Shaheed looks and and you know
all that, but it's like, all it takes is one
injury and we'll be back.
Speaker 11: To We're back to Uber drop.
Speaker 10: Does that receive dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 8: Yeah when we're I think Saints fans are exhausted about
saying the same names this time of the this time
of the year, every single year back. How did how
did you take the Honey Badger news last week coming
seemingly to you know, out of the blue, How are
we doing?
Speaker 10: Couldn't believe it. I really couldn't, could not believe that happened,
and that just started the.
Speaker 11: Week of like IZZI dies Honey Badger of ti is
It's just like.
Speaker 10: Out of no way stuff, you know. I couldn't believe it, man,
because I get it, man, like as you get older,
of course you're not going to play like you were
in your twenties. But I didn't think he was done yet,
So it was really shocking.
Speaker 8: You think it was out of the blue for everybody.
Did anybody foresee this happening?
Speaker 10: Mickey Luna said in the press conference that they knew
about it a few days in advance.
Speaker 5: It almost felt like in Flinna and I talked about this,
dev I've had this feeling. I can't really speak for Matt,
but there was one year going into year five maybe
for me, in the thought of going to training camp,
and I was just frustrated with some other things, but
like the thought of going to training camp, like I
wanted to do anything else, and I was like, I
just want to hang it up.
Speaker 4: Am I done here?
Speaker 5: So I I think part of it too, was like
Tyrone was probably going back and forth in his brain.
He probably got there is like, you know what, I
don't have anything else left. I need to prove like
I've played for the hometown team, I've been All Pro
three times, I won a Super Bowl. So to me,
it was like I've kind of done it all, and
I don't really want to go through training camp away
from my family again and go through another football season.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, and I mean I'm sure, let's be
human about this. I mean, you look at the rostery, true,
I mean, look at the Ross. I mean, it's not
that hard of a decision really, But again, it was shocking, man,
because when we're talking about like big name players that
we had he was definitely like one of the first
ones you mentioned. And it's not like we're in position
to be fortunate enough to be able to afford to
lose players like that. Now you got who you got
this guy Blackman who he played for the Colts or
something like that. Yeah, and hopefully he's good man because
no disrespect to Howden, But you know, I'd like not
to see him starting if we can control it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean there was a time when I had some
high host for him, and he can be a he
can be at like a nice additional piece, but I
don't know that you're going to count on him to
be the.
Speaker 10: Guy dev Yeah. Now, and then dude, again, the receiver
is man. That's what it's like. Somebody has to other
than Shaheed and Olive. Like I saw I saw some
plays from training camp with Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 11: Dropping the ball like, bro, we you know we need.
Speaker 10: You to catch everything mists. Yeah, dude, like we need
you to catch everything. Man. We need like one of
these guys like bub Beans. You know, I don't know
the starting five receives I saw it yesterday was Alive,
sh he Cooks, uh, Dante Pettis and what's funny, Dante Pattis.
That's insane, man, that's insane. It's insane. I mean, dude,
I was running kicks back with Dante Pettison like Madden sixteen, speaking.
Speaker 8: Of like what when when when you're turning on I
don't know it's PS five whatever it is are we playing?
He's a proper We turned on Madden, or we turned
on the New College Game.
Speaker 10: Well, we can't turn on Madden yet because it's not
out yet. But no, no, I'm on the College Football
I'm running the Dynasty with pitt right now and Eli
Holstein by exactly what louisiannalysts go.
Speaker 8: Let's go. How is the New game compared to we
We had this discussion earlier today. Taylor said it wasn't
as good. He doesn't like it as much.
Speaker 10: Well, it just needs a lot of patches, man. I
had to take a two week break from it because
I was playing Louisville and it was a it was
a big matchup. I had recruits in town, you know
all that. And you know I'm driving down the field,
down one point, driving down the field. They got like
a minute left and and my guy gets a first
down on a run and his dude, his butt and
his knee is on the ground and then he loses
the ball. They call it a fumble. Of course, you
can't challenge it, so you gotta leave it up to
the officials, Brody, officials don't review it. I lose the
game the one o'clock. I lose the game. I'm like,
and I had the picture of the guy. You know,
it's bad when you take a picture of it, you know,
and the guy who's knee and butt was on the ground.
Clear's day, dude, Like, how how we were dressing in
challenges and video games at this point. It's insane, but
we are, you know.
Speaker 8: Take take in a picture of Dynasty mud versus nobody
versus the computer.
Speaker 10: And then I went and tagged da bro was I was,
of course not dude. They never will, man, they never will.
But it's no, it just needs some patches. But it's
still fun. Man. I love like.
Speaker 11: I like that better than Madden.
Speaker 10: Madden last year was unplayable, bro from the simple fact
of when you draft guys like in the fantasy draft
and stuff like that, and they show like the picture
of them, like they tried to make like virtual representation
of them. Dude. It looked knocking like the guys at
all and they were wearing shoots from like two thousand
and four.
Speaker 4: I remember that that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know the pants that like at the ankle, like, dude,
you could fit like, I don't know, like a few
grocery bags and.
Speaker 8: That dude, it was jacket went halfway down your thigh.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, dirty work.
Speaker 10: Bro U.
Speaker 4: Before we let you go, any idea of where we're
staying for RB and.
Speaker 10: R day, were staying in the city, baby, Okay, we're
staying in the city unless something hat so way. I
don't know, I'm about to look at it right now,
but I'm pretty sure we're staying in Sick. Been hitting
some bangs though the last couple of weeks. I mean
one of them was Willy Mays and New Ones. You know.
Willy Mays is a place that's been around since the fifties,
but one of the place, the main place burned down,
so they basically made a new place downtown in the CBD.
It's right across from It's the breakfast place that just
opened back Benita's, right across from Anita's, and dude, this
place was phenomenal, bro I probably ate some of the
best like Ben. It was like a man as fast
as split. Oh God, brow.
Speaker 4: It was so good Jesus that come with a diaper.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're gonna need one, brother, you gonna need one.
Speaker 5: All right, Dev, we look forward to seeing where you
end up today. We'll always look forward to RBN R day.
Check out Dev all on social media at Snow like
John to see where he ends up. Dev, you're the man.
We appreciate it and look forward to it next week.
Speaker 10: All right, y'all, take care. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5: There is our guy, Devin Snow aka hold the Mayo.
All right, let's take a break more ot B when
we come.
Speaker 4: Back here on one of four five ESPN.
Speaker 1: Batteries off the bench.
Speaker 5: All right, As we've been saying all summer long, it
is a great time for eight dough sekis. It's always
a great time to go for dose. But don't think
that stops here in the summertime. Oh no, sir, or
no ma'am. It is a fall beer as well. If
you're sitting there tailgating getting ready to watch the Tigers play,
do sekis. If you're sitting around feet kicked up watching
all the games starting with that brunch game out of
the big ten, do sekies. It does not matter summer, fall, winter, spring,
It's always a great time to go for dose. And
I'm going to assume that some were deleted on False
River this weekend.
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, little lake trip. I can I tell you
it is so hot out there, so riding around on
a lake with that wind hitting your face and an
ice chest full of delicious ice cold dose sekis is
elite and there were some deleted. So if you want
to delete some this week, and like Jake say, if
you're getting ready for tailgating and are planning on deleting
some later this fall of the game, go do ski
dot com.
Speaker 1: WEEKES two thousand and seven Champs Purple and Gold to
the core. This is off the Bench with Hester and Flynn,
Matt and Rougees go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 11: Weekend these.
Speaker 2: There is.
Speaker 5: All right, welcome back OTV one oh four five ESPN
baton Route.
Speaker 4: LS.
Speaker 5: You're gonna be starting training camp this week and we're
all excited to kind of go across the street to
the Ponderosa.
Speaker 4: Check it out.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 5: There are morning practice teams, so unfortunately we can't be
there for a bulk of the practices we been go
on weekends and different things. But I'm very excited to
kind of see the demeanor of the team, like in
your spast it's been. I want to check out the roster.
I want to check out the ones and twos. I
want to check out the two deep. I want to
check out some of the freshmen, and some of that
intrigue is there. But I think knowing the roster, knowing
what you have coming back, with quarterback, with receiver, with
running back, with linebackers, so many different positions where I
think you get some really good players coming back. I
want to see the demeanor kind of the way they
carry themselves a little bit. I want to see how
spirited practices are, because you can't have step again, You've
got to hit the ground running. And so that's the
thing that I'm going to be paying attention to, like
how do you carry themselves? Who is the leader on
the defense, Like we think it's going to be Witweeks
and Harold Perkins, Jacobe and Gillery. Who else does one
of the transfers say, you know what, I don't care
that I just got here, Like I've been a dude
in college football for a while, and I'm going to
be a leader here as well.
Speaker 4: So like those are the things.
Speaker 5: It's not even necessarily the roster because I think we
all have a really good idea for the most part
what this roster looks like. And of course I could
say offensive line, I could say defensive tackle, but really
I want to see how they're carrying themselves.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they've They've have not been bashful about
talking about how confident they are in this team. I mean,
Garrett Esmayers said it and multiple people have said it
about they believe that this is the most talented team
from top to bottom on both sides of the ball,
that they've been a part of, either in a long
time or their entire time at LSU. So I think
that they're probably going to carry themselves out. I think
we know what to expect from it because they have
good top leadership at the big positions. What I'd like
to see is their leadership within each position group. The
great teams have that where there's a leader that everybody
kind of looks to for guidance within each position group
offensive line, receivers, running backs, DB's defensive line, and we
had that in our experience and our teams that we
were on is like each room had a leader. So
there's never a point in time where any player spends
a portion of the day where they're not looking up
to somebody or looking for somebody with guidance that has
the team first mentality that has the same messaging to everybody.
You can have a leader in a room that's not
the guy it should be right and is not the
most positive create the most positive environment like a leader.
Like when we say leader doesn't always have to be positive.
It can be led the wrong direction. So do they
have all the guys at the same aiming point, We're
gonna have the hierarchy of the leadership and doing it
the right way up with everything pointed and all indications
point to this is gonna be a you know, you'd
like to say a quietly confident team, but I think
they're going to be an outspoken, confident team. But they're
not going to tell any lies like this is truly
how they feel. I think they are a very confident
team rightfully so with what they're bringing in, But I
think a lot of it stems from we got to
we've filled in a lot of those position those holes
that we might have been missing a season ago. We
believe that we brought into people to fill in those gaps,
filling those voids from a just a talent standpoint, and
they have good reason to be confident because they're bringing
back all the positions. But what I really want to
watch is the O line versus D line drills and
one on ones, half line pass protection, half line run blocking,
and how they are going to be teaching, training and
executing the running game in practice. Like what are the
coaching points because the coaching points last year. I'm not
gonna say the coach of points last year, but what
we did last year didn't work from a running game standpoint, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, no it did not. I mean it is what
it is.
Speaker 8: But of course, like that half line, I love half
line pass protection. It's way better drilled than one on one.
One on one is great because you got to work
in there to say it's great for your tackle, it's
not realistic. Half line, when you take the center guard
tackle and you work versus two defensive linemen, it's the
best because that chemistry working shoulder to shoulder with your
guide next to you, learning how to pass off te
stunts ET stunts and what we're talking about there is
an ET stunt. Whatever letter comes first is the person
that will angle, and then the next guy goes over
the top. So if we say ET, the end comes
in and the tackle goes around. If we say TE,
the tackle goes out and comes in. So like working
on those stunts, learning how to pass off. So if
I start, if I think I'm going to set to
the tackle, he runs out me for two steps and
then he loops over. I got to engage, then I
got to pass off with my tackle. And that's all
a chemistry thing. Yeah, So that half line is so important.
Speaker 4: So that's i mean one of the drills that I'm
looking for in half line. I mean you can go
and go.
Speaker 5: You know, we did it with the line too, Like
we'd be backs in protection and you know the tackle
in the end they go down down and here comes
the linebacker around, so like how, well, like what do
your rules tell you? Like, how are you going to
do that? And that was more of a realistic drill
than just going one on one. It's like, hey, linebacker,
if you went that far inside, there's like seven people
you'd run into before you got to the quarterback, So no,
I'm with you right there. Uh, there's there's some intrigue
though for me and how they go about their business.
Who emerges like organically as maybe a voice of the
team as well.
Speaker 4: So all right, we'll take.
Speaker 5: Our last break of the show, wrap it up on
this Monday morning edition of OTV when we come back
