great partner of course.
Speaker 5: Man, of course we're the fox all here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really yesterday came to a head whenever the.
Speaker 3: Thank you whatever. Katie called me, and I was taking
the boys some some lunch to school, but I had
like an hour, you know, so I was gonna go
pick them up Chick fil a, take it over to
you high and so like you got anything to do.
It's like, really, she was once you get a haircut, okay, okay, sure,
so we're just that's not very subtle. I'm gonna get
a haircut, Okay. The thing is about I booked your
haircut I'll go good one.
Speaker 5: Sure. It's kind of funny when you do something on
your look that's like a little bit different. Yeah, and
they're like, like, this is gonna be a good idea.
Speaker 8: Like I saw someone on TV with it. They look great.
I'm gonna look very sickly, probably better. And then you're
just doing it for a while. Then all of a sudden,
you wake up one day and you absolutely can't stand it. Yeah,
can't cut it fast enough. It happens, It's gonna happen
with my mustache went at some point I'm awake up
and be like, oh gross, I did it well. I
grew long hair at one point, and I was shaving
my head for like years, just like I do now.
I shave my head, and all of a sudden, I
was like, yeah, you know what, you know, I'm starting
to get a little thinner back there. Yeah, let's just
grow the hair out one time in my life because
I've never had hair. Yeah, So this was thirteen. I
think I started. I potentially started in Oakland. Maybe I
can't remember when, but I started, but I had it
going into the twenty fifteen season. That's when I had
got it long enough. Man Bun not a big deal.
But then we had our first child in September, and
like later in September, I assume it was later a
couple weeks after Huck was born, we had our newborn pictures. Yeah,
newborn photos, so like it takes a while to get those,
you know, edited or whatever it is. Once I saw them,
I saw the hair that afternoon, it was gone. You
saw it like a professional. I saw a professional photo
of our first child's newborn photos, and I was like, nope,
this isn't it. I've been trying for a while. I
thought i'd look sweet. It didn't look sweet. We looked terrible.
I was sitting in the barber chair that day. Yeah,
you're right, like it happens, yep, I am calling. I
can't book an appointment for next week. I gotta see
you today. Gotta be in that chair.
Speaker 3: So I wasn't to that point.
Speaker 5: No, No, we're just gonna get there.
Speaker 3: It was gonna get there. I don't know what the
end goal was there.
Speaker 6: So uh, Jordan, good morning.
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 9: I'm doing all right, man, you know it's another day.
But I had a question for y'all because you guys
have been known to be mustache guys always wanted to
commit to a mustache. But how could like howus you
guys got the beers growing back? It's kind of hard.
We you can grow a beard and not, you know,
not fully commit to the mustache. So how can y'all
commit to the Just a stash? Always wanted to just
hop out my dad sometimes just a stash. I don't
feel like I'm just a stash guy, don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just had you got to do it. I mean,
there's one life. You gotta live it.
Speaker 9: You only got one life. And it's not like it
doesn't grow back.
Speaker 8: Yeah, its situation, right, no person, not like cutting off
a finger, not a beard.
Speaker 5: Right, And look you might look like a creep.
Speaker 4: Yeah you're gonna look sick.
Speaker 5: You say that first day, it's not gonna look good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the wind hitting your face again.
Speaker 10: But that second day, my sir, get used to it.
I'm a little afraid of the the regrowth. And it's
itchy when your beer first starts coming in that itchy. Yeah,
I hate that, hate that feeling.
Speaker 5: I think if you grow up back immediately, yeah, your
skin is still tough. Yeah, it's uh. Every time I
grow beard, then I shave it.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 8: My skin's a little tough, it's a little hardened, it
is a weathered and it gets baby soft again.
Speaker 5: Then got a face that.
Speaker 9: Itchy faces like, oh my goodness. Why it's like I'm
never shaving again every time every time. Yeah, I'm doing
all right, man, it's another day, blessed. Can't complain walking, staying,

get a little boost, Go flow iv dot com.
Speaker 3: All right, So to get the show started, we're gonna
talk about the LSU baseball team that went down to
Northeastern yesterday thirteen to ten, and at one point it
was ten to nothing. Northeastern. This is a two and
six baseball team coming into the game and they jump
on you, and it was ten to nothing after the
top of the third. Heading into the bottom of the
third inning, it's ten to nothing. And the pitching that
you showed this weekend certainly was not there on this
week day. Now you ended up coming up with some offense,
certainly late in the game, score three in the ninth,
but it was not a great showing, to say the
least by the LSU pitching staff. And so now you've
got a couple of losses, one to McNeice, you know,
a couple of weeks or week ago, ten days, and
then you lose this game to Northeastern, and look at
LSU baseball. So no matter who you lose to, you
people are going to start the panic. But for this game, Matthew,
it was a pitching staff. Right. We talked about the
hitting not being there over the weekend. This time you
flipped it. It was a pitching staff. Zach Collen, who's
somebody that you have trusted for a long time. He
comes in, he goes one and two thirds, gives up
five hits, four runs all earned. Did strike out four,
but he wasn't able to kind of shut the door
after they scored four runs, to kind of give you
an opportunity, to give you a chance to try to
play catch up.
Speaker 8: It was just a lot of bad for the LSU Tigers. Yeah,
it was not good, especially early on in the lineup.
The coldtree continues, certainly for our the hitters and line
up and the pitcher's not good. Certainly, if you get
jumped up on on Northeastern and they're up to nothing
on you, nothing has gone your way, nothing's gone real well.
And it was a weekend of the bats being cold,
but for the most part good pitching. The pitching got
a little bit better as we got into the game yesterday.
I guess if you want to find some silver lining
is you did get seventeen batters at bats yesterday, so
you got you did get a decent amount experience, and
towards the end of the game they made a little
bit of a made a little bit pushed a lot
of scored some runs, made it at least a little
bit competitive towards the end. I was in and out
watching the game yesterday.
Speaker 5: We had baseball, right, we had you know, we had
all the things, we had the homeworks and all that
good stuff.
Speaker 8: So I was in and out watching it. Hey, one
guy I did notice popped out on the screen. Connor
Binge only faced one batter, but my guy, it was
a good batter. Guys throwing gas ninety six ninety six
mile an hour drafted to an eighty five mile an
hour breaking ball, struck him out on a ninety six
mile hour fastball, blew up by him. I mean you
did point him out at the beginning of the show.
You're like, Hey, who's who's that that team a year ago.
I think he needs a little bit more run on
the weekend. He's been almost exclusively a midweek pitcher this year.
But yeah, the guy's got some talent. I think he's
gonna be a star based off that won at Battle Saw.
It's the best pitcher you've seen this year. That's one
of the best, one of the best.
Speaker 5: I've been watching some baseball now, I've been watching some baseball.
Speaker 3: Well, you got to get some of these issues ironed out,
and you're still, you know, eleven to two baseball team.
We don't forget what you've done, you know against Notre
Dame in Central Florida, when you go back to Indiana,
when you go back.
Speaker 6: To the tournament, you played down there in Florida.
Speaker 3: But some of the things that did not show up
at all early in the season, they you know, they
show up in a midweek game against McNeice and then
over the weekend you win the games, right, you win Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
but it was not in dominant fashion like I think
a lot of people thought it would be. And then
you lose this game. So that leaves you with a
road game on Wednesday against Louisiana Lafayette. You've got a
weekend series in the box against Sacramento State. Then you've
got a midweek game against Creighton before it starts. Then
you travel to Nashville, Tennessee Charles Hawkins Field and you
play Vanderbilt. So whatever things that have kind of I
don't want to say fallen apart here, but whatever started
to get a little creaky, you got to get those
things fixed out right now because you don't have a
lot of time and you got to go on the
road to Vanderbilt and then you've got Oklahoma come in
to the box as far as SEC play, So I
know you probably got some thoughts on the thirteen to ten.
I don't know if you worked the game last.
Speaker 7: Night or no, but I watched it in its entirety,
and like people are gonna point out, oh, they scored
ten runs, they got ten hits. Six of the hits
were from pinch hitters, guys that didn't start the game.
So six out of the ten your every day Yeah,
like Eddie Yamman who had a big two run shot
at the end of the game. He was two for three.
He was really good. Daniel Harden went in, got a hit,
Patrick got a hit. But like, these guys aren't Jack Ruckert,
These guys aren't in your everyday lineup, like Zeth Dardar
over two, Zach York over two, Josh Pearson or John
Pearson who got to start at first, he struggled at
first base. I think we saw how valuable Zach York's defenses.
Last night they started Zach York at DH. You gave
Pearson a shot. It didn't go well, But you know,
I seen you guys at text last night. First two
weeks of the season, after the second weekend, I had
to host for you guys, and my thoughts were, Look,
I understand it didn't go well for Zach Cowen, but
he of all people I trust to get this corrected.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's the case anymore.
Speaker 7: I mean we're in week four of the season, and
really after that A and M game a year ago,
he struggled through the back half and it is carried over.
I mean, he goes an inning in two thirds, five hits,
four runs all of them earned, did strike out four.
I mean, that's just that's not gonna get it done.
He has been touched up every time he's been out there,
like I mean, yeah, he's he struck out some guys,
but I mean they are just crushing the ball off
of that Zach Cowen right now. And I don't really
know how that gets better. Because you put him in
midweek instead of the weekend to try to work through that.
He hasn't even been able to work through it in
the midweek right now. I mean he's going through it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's somebody. Whenever he decides to come back
to Lshue, everybody's excited because he's had big moments in
You're right after they and it did. It did fall
down quite a bit, but you know in the postseason
he did have big moments again. Right, So he raises
play back up and you're gonna need guys like that, Like.
Speaker 6: There's gonna be a moment where you need him.
Speaker 3: And he's done in his entire career, not just at LSU,
but everywhere he's been.
Speaker 6: And that's somebody that you got to be able to
count on.
Speaker 3: That's why he went in in that situation, because you
give up four runs in the first like all right, hey,
let's stop the bleeding here, let's put Zach Cowen in,
and then he can't stop it, and then all of
a sudden you look up, you've given up eight.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: At some point the like, let's just stay on Zach
Kllen here for a second, and like, look on the
first a bit hand of the air I hadn't watched
all his outings, right, I hadn't seen it. But when
a picture that shows promise, that has shown potential in
big moments and shown that he can do it, but
then he's got all these different moments that stack up
on top of each other, not living up to expectations.
From a picture standpoint, it is a lot of it
is a confidence situation if your picture relies on movement,
and so when you're moving the wall, you've got to
snap your wrists, you got to snap the ball off
your hand.
Speaker 5: That takes confidence to do that.
Speaker 8: And if you're not thrown with your complete confidence, you
don't get the movement and you're just throwing straight lasers.
I mean straight balls get a hit, but even to
seam fastball like it doesn't have the movement that it
usually would have on it if you're not thrown with confidence,
and that's something that needs to be worked out.
Speaker 5: Like it's March third right now.
Speaker 8: Certainly a confident situation happened in the batter's box for
LSU with what they're starting with their starting lineup.
Speaker 5: But we've seen it. I don't know.
Speaker 8: I mean, it's nothing to be certainly worried about. You
don't want to see your team go out there and
struggle on the mount and struggle in the batter's box.
At least for the rest of the weekend. Our pitchers
are pitching their tails off. When we were not hitting well.
I think we were hitting what they say last night,
like one fifty on the weekend leading up into the
game last night, and it.
Speaker 5: It's not any better. Yeah, they'll get it turned around. Guys.
It's just confidence.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 6: You've got very few opportunities before you.
Speaker 3: Start SEC play, and if anybody's going to do it,
it's certainly going to be Jay Johnson.
Speaker 6: But you got to go on the road again on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: You got a game against Louisiana Lafayette, and you've got
the weekend series against Sacramento State, the game against Creighton,
and then it is on It is Vanderbilt in Oklahoma.
Your first two series, it's on the road against Vanderbilt,
it's at home against Oklahoma, and we are very close
to having SEC baseball take place. All right, we will

got a little delivery, they get some coffee.
Speaker 1: Bolt.
Speaker 5: Hey, did you.
Speaker 8: See the the Saints just keep getting wins. Mickey limis
crashing it Marshall Lattimore got released yesterday.
Speaker 3: He did Uh. They saved eighteen and a half million
dollars by doing so.
Speaker 6: The commanders did, uh. And you got him for three
draft picks.
Speaker 3: You're seeing him and another draft choice to the commanders,
and he got hurt, had had hamstring issue.
Speaker 6: Didn't really play a whole lot there.
Speaker 8: So yeah, Mickey just stacking the victories, stacking the wins
right now.
Speaker 9: Breaks my heart, breaks my heart. But you know I
said on Hunt Show, I gotta get credit where's due.
Mickey might be in his prime again, and it breaks,
like if y'all know, breaks my heart to even say that,
to admit that, but gotta call it what it is.
This I'm not gonna say this could be like the
hurt you look back at this like the Herschel Walker trade.
But this could be a franchise altar in trade. If
you're on a sinker Quincy Riley, keep it up and
then you know, Devin Neil, We'll see what happens, especially
if you take a running back first round. But you
know Devin Neil, he had good moments. If you didn't
get hurt, you he had good moments. But you're on
a Sinker and Quincy Rodley looking like there be two
starters for you next year. And you got that for
you know, I get it a lot of more. I
don't necessarily blame the Commanders. I get it, but you
don't have to go all in. They needed a cornerback
at the time. Even though if you checked the track,
the track record Latimo is every year he was getting
more hurt and missing less games. But he had to say, man,
but Mickey might be in his prime again. Sucks, but
I love it a little bit.
Speaker 7: How great would it be if Saints brought back Marshawn
Lottimore on the veteran minimum and he like balled out again,
got all those draft picks and you've still got Marshawn Lottimore.
Speaker 9: I would love that. That would be That would be
like the perfect world.
Speaker 5: I would be like that Sunny Weaver junior on Draft
Day type of steel. Bring back the a Lottimore, Mike
Evans fights.
Speaker 4: See he even gonna be a TAPA next year.
Speaker 3: You know it's agent so well. What the Commanders did
when they got Latimore was what the Dolphins did when
they got Tyreek Hill, when they got Bradley Chubb. You
go for everything because you feel like your windows open.
So you make trades, you give up assets, and you
spend a lot of money. Right, So you give up
assets for Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb and then you give
them extensions and you're going for everything. You are swinging
for the fences. Well, now for the Miami Dolphins, like
they're in a spot where they don't have money to spend. Nope,
they don't have veteran players, they got a new coaching staff,
they don't have a quarterback like Washington tried to do
that because Jaden Daniels made it to the NFC Championship game,
and they're like, hey, I think we're close. We just
need to add some veteran pieces, some guys that are
over thirty on one year deals and see if we
can get it done.
Speaker 6: And then you make a move like Marshaun Lattimore as well,
Yeah debo, that's a yeah debo.
Speaker 3: This year, it's like, we think we're close, let's go
make these moves, right, you signed back Bobby Wagner. Bobby,
and then when it doesn't work, you got to find
a way to get some cap space. You got to
make some moves and so like that's a cap casualty.
It's what we always call them, right.
Speaker 8: One of the hardest positions to play in football is cornerback,
one of the most physically difficult, hardest positions to go
out and be successful, but it continues to be some
of the most overreacted and overpaid and overmoved positions. Look
at what the Colts did this year when they got
off to that hot star Daniel Jones was like in
the MVP, they give up two first rounders for saust Gardener,
who ends up getting hurt, and then if never, they
didn't even make the playoffs, like a complete disaster. And
like in a situation where that owner was doing all
the right things, she was like she was the she
signed a move, she co signed to move, she was
a talking like she was. Everybody was talking about her,
how involved she was, and like Aero pointed up for
her for that for the Colts and everything and everything
was going great rightfully, so they decided to go all in.
But like, cornerback seems to be this place where people
feel is going to make a huge impact on the
overall outcome of your team, and it never really does.
One cornerback's not going to get it. I'd rather have
three decent ones than one stud one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 7: It was it just seemed like all year we were
all waiting for the Colts to come back down to earth.
And maybe it was because we were bidden by you know,
Daniel Jones in New York. People don't want to trust him.
But I kind of felt that way last year about
the Commanders. I kind of though the season was a
little bit of fools goal. I mean, I remember we
did the little bold predictions or whatever, and mine was
they're not going to make the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Not because Jayden and Jayden was great.
Speaker 7: They faced eight backup quarterbacks Jayden and Daniels' rookie year
in the regular season, like, yes, credit to them. They
made it to the playoffs. They made the run, got
to the NFC Championship game. But that made them think
we are one or two pieces away. The team was
never one or two pieces away. Jayde Daniels carried them
to that playoffs and then went on a historic run.
That team had a lot of work to do, and
look the same, said Mickey Limis. Took advantage of a
desperate team and now you see what happens.
Speaker 8: A historic season from a quarterback will make anybody think
you're right to play right.
Speaker 5: And they just weren't.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think I brought it up. It was
a Trey Lance had started one career game. It was
against the Commanders when he was with the Cowboys last season.
Speaker 8: I mean that's and now I don't want to diminish
what a star corner can do. But like if I'm
a GM or an organization and I somehow draft into
require a star cornerback, I am looking.
Speaker 5: He is always on the market.
Speaker 8: He was always for sale because people have keep proving
that they are going to overpay in assets for a
stud cornerback. I want really good ones. I don't know
if I want a star one because of what they demand.
I mean, look at what Jalen Ramsey's career, how much
has he made and like where where has he ever
made an impact on the overall team?
Speaker 9: Well, I mean the Rams needed him. They needed Jalen Ramsey,
they needed them.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 5: I forgot about.
Speaker 3: But the Rams also had to add other stuff.
Speaker 9: Like he was not their final piece, but he was
a move that helps prope.
Speaker 8: Star corners, like almost like a quarterback, Like if you
can get him on a rookie.
Speaker 5: Look at the Legion of Doom the Yeah they were
there and you were there.
Speaker 3: Can you get the name right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well Sherman what they were all on like Rooky
contrac your.
Speaker 7: Point, like Sherman wasn't a rookie, but he didn't have
that big money deal yet. Earl Thomas didn't have that
big money deal yet. Your fourth guard was Byron Maxwell,
who like nobody knew.
Speaker 5: It was Brandon Browner at the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and a little happened, looked actually did What did
the Saints to do though? They overpaid for him, and
again the next year they slot in Byron Maxwell.
Speaker 5: They were back to the Super Bowl. It didn't matter.
Speaker 6: This is a defensive heavy draft.
Speaker 3: Like every coach in GM I talked to and Indy
was like defense, defense, defense. And when you look at
some of the teams that were bad, bad on defense
last year, Let's look at the teams that go from
thirty two, thirty one, thirty and twenty nine in yards
giving up the Washington Commanders, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Dallas Cowboys,
Chicago Bears. What do those teams all have that usually
is very hard to find quarterback? They've got that part,
which is the hardest part figured out. They just don't
have the defense. And we're talking about the very bottom
the last four teams in yards given up, Bears, Cowboys, Bengals, Commanders.
They've got to hit on this draft. This draft has
depth to it. It's got edge rushers, it's got stackbackers,
it's got safety, safety, it's got everything that you need
and want, and it's got some real depth to it.
Speaker 6: Like those teams, they have to hit on defense.
Speaker 3: They can't miss because they got the hardest part figured out.
Now you've got to go put together a defense. And
I don't really have faith that Cincinnati's going to do
it a cheap but they don't.
Speaker 6: I had a thirty twenty.
Speaker 3: Five minute on air, five minute off the air conversation
with Steven Jones, who's obviously a decision maker for the Cowboys,
and he said defense seven or eight times, Like he said, Hey,
we just tagged George Pickens, we got Ceedee Lamb, we
got Deak Prescott, we got Javonte Williams back. We're good
and we're not even looking. He's like, we're looking all
at defense in this draft.
Speaker 8: They got a couple of first rounders. Yeah, and hopefully
like the goal for them is another Micah Parsons.
Speaker 3: They got twelve and twenty.
Speaker 6: I'd rather pick twelve and twenty than move up and
pick seven.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And to Jake's point, two years ago, the Cowboys
were second to last in rush defense and last in
rush offense, like a lot of teams. It came out like, oh,
Dallas reset the running back market because they gave Javonte
Williams three years twenty four million on like Thursday, and
that that kind of reset the free agent market. But
they had to do that. Now you're one extra piece away,
like you got your running game figured out, Go show
up the D line and it's actually okay.
Speaker 4: Is Quinn Williams still on the Cowboys?
Speaker 5: Williams?
Speaker 4: So they got another guy.
Speaker 5: That traded for Ny Clark.
Speaker 4: Oh, what all.
Speaker 9: They need is a pass rush? They straight, we'll get
some some BB's the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: But all your pointing out is defense right now, which I.
Speaker 9: Mean I said, you got Kenny Clark and Quinn Quinn
Note Wilson Williams. Goodness, racist at everybody but him. Williams
up front, like that's a that's stout.
Speaker 8: I was being a little sarcastic when I said they
got two picks. Try Maybe it's kind of like that
scene from Family Guy where he's on a game show
and they're like, you can have a boat or you
can be the door number two, the mystery door. He's like, well,
a boat's a boat, but behind the mystery door could
be anything.
Speaker 5: It could even be a boat. I'll do that. Yeah,
they just need a pass rusher. It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 4: A lot of teams can say that. Not everybody pass rusher.
Speaker 9: It's like, man, dude, if the Cowboys, because that offense
last year was just I love watching the Cowboys, but
they get.
Speaker 5: A people over there, my gosh, I'm marking the table
on that one.
Speaker 9: You know, hold on, you know I was part time
Cowboys last because I had Dack on fantas side. I
read out like Taylor, Hey, Dak lighting it up. I'm
telling you you're lighting it up fantasy wise. This is listen, people,
fantasy football. Dak was a good quarterback. List don't care.
Nobody says he was definitely a good quarterback. Stats don't lie.
Speaker 4: He was Dak. If anybody gonna slink it, Dak was
gonna sling it.
Speaker 8: I do have a a draft question that I would
like to ask you guys. He's got a lot of
NFL talk this morning already. I'd like to ask you guys,
let's have the break. Yeah, that tease, it is a
little teas, this little quarterback teas.
Speaker 6: We'll answer fun question when we come back here on

Central plumbing dot org, Central Plumbing dot org. One of
the things that certainly was talked about and heard often
was a free agency at the NFL scouting combines. So
I don't know if your question had to do with
free agency or if it was with a draft. Okay,
floor's here, sir, Oh you want me to go? Uh
yeah this Mike Son, Yeah, got a hot mic, all right,
so check this out. I was thinking about it.
Speaker 8: It's a question that I've been thinking about, not this
specific question, but it's a player I've been thinking about,
which is Ty Simpson going into the draft. Of course,
the Alabama quarterback largely projected to be the second quarterback
taken off the board. I'm thinking about his draft position
and where he's going to fall, where he's going to go.
And they were talking about a little bit more a
little bit on the Early Morning Show today, kind of
like kind of got me thinking a little bit more
about it. But do we think that Ty Simpson, the
second quarterback that's projected to be taken in the draft,
will fall outside of the first fifteen picks this draft?
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, because I don't I don't think any quarterback
is going to be taken in top fifteen outside of Mendoza.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think we'll go first, right, Mike.
Speaker 8: So, so there was a there was an ESPN draft
analyst that recently said that I'd be I think I
think he said something like, I'd rather be picking twenty
five than five this year if I need a quarterback.
And yeah, but my my thought is this, if you
look at the free agents, and you look at the
free agents out there, you got tuh Kyler, Murray Kirk Cousins,
Malik Willis, Gino Smith. Not the best crop of free
agent quarterbacks ever.
Speaker 4: Nope.
Speaker 8: The best time to ever get a quarterback is certainly
if you can take a gamble. If you're going to
take a gamble on Kyler Murray, it's rumored that he's
going to get at least twenty five million. Kyler Murray, Yeah,
let's played terrible, right, terrible, as you know, he's played
for the Cardinals.
Speaker 5: Has not lived up to the hype to.
Speaker 8: All these players are going to make a ton of
money if you can take somebody. I believe that somebody
there's a chance that somebody's gonna move up and say,
all right, I'm gonna ta you instead of taking a
gamble on Kyler Murray and paying him twenty five to
thirty thirty five million dollars whatever he's going to get, Like,
let me take somebody in thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, pay him
seven million dollars and if they work, yeah great, If not, fine,
Kyler wasn't going to be the long term answer anyway.
This day and age in twenty twenty six, the importance
of quarterback, and they'd get I think I think the
Kenny Pickett Draft there was only one quarterback taken in
the first draft. Yeah, quarterbacks are going to get overdrafted always.
And remember I think even Dan ar Left dan Anlowski
said this recently too. For the first eight or nine
games of the season, Ty Simpson's tape was better than
Fernando Mondeza's, or at least as good, So you can't
unsee that. So what he has, I think people are
going to over overdraft him potentially and move up just
because it is worth the risk to try to hit
and miss on a quarterback where for five, four or
five years you're only gonna pay quarterbacks seven or eight
million dollars. Now, maybe it's not a maybe maybe it's
like a luxury thing too. Maybe it's the Rams moving
up and taking him because you know what, you're paying
Stafford all this money, but Stafford's not gonna be there
in two years, and so you have this backup quarterback
for like I said, seven eight million dollars you pay
at Stafford an ungodly amount, but in two years you're
gonna have a lot of cap space to being people
around a new young quarterback. So I think it's interesting
and in this day days and the draft, certainly quarterbacks
are gonna get overdrafted. I think there is a chance
that somebody moves up. Maybe not anybody in the top
fifteen right now, but somebody moves up to take a
flyer on somebody like ty Sipson.
Speaker 6: When you stay move up, what do you think the
ceiling of moving up?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 3: What range are you talking about?
Speaker 8: If fifteen is right around that, right around that over under,
if like I was going to set a Vegas over under,
like that's where it would be. Certainly not top ten, sir,
I don't definitely not eleven twelve, So thirteen through eighteen probably.
Speaker 3: I did see a mock draft earlier. I believe it
was on ESPN dot com that had the Cardinals trading
back into the first round with the Houston Texans. So
the Cardinals gave their second round and fourth round picks
to move up back into the first round, just like
Ty Simpson, twenty.
Speaker 7: E twenty one with the Steelers would be maybe the
spot if they don't bring Rogers back. You meentured fourteen
and fifteen. That's Ravens and Bucks. Neither of them were
taking a quarterback in round one.
Speaker 8: This might be controversial too. If I'm the Texans, I'm
doing everything I can to replace c J. Strad, Why
would you not.
Speaker 1: Have?
Speaker 8: Nobody thinks that either their GM certainly said it was
moronic to think that we try to move on from him.
The Texans get just think about it. The Texans get
to the Super Bowl, they don't win it. No one's
going to beat the Sea except the Rams this year. Hey,
the Texans get to the super Bowl with Joe Flacco
as our quarterbale with.
Speaker 3: With Tua mm hmm.
Speaker 5: To your point, it doesn't turn the ball over as
much as c J. Stroud Stroud. I know people call
him that, but I mean, I know your head. You
don't watched the film of c. J. Stroud and see
how elementary he played. I'm just saying, is two is
not good, but at least he can be semi accurate
with the ball.
Speaker 3: I'll tell okay, when we come back in our.
Speaker 5: Number that, don't underestimate how good that defense actually.
Speaker 3: When we come back an hour number two, we can
have the quarterback conversation, because if you need one, this
is literally the worst year to need one. I mean,
that's the worst year to possibly need a quarterback that's
going to change the math for your team.
Speaker 6: And we'll have that conversation when we come back here.
Speaker 2: On off the bench, all right, if you're in.
Speaker 3: Louisiana and you want the best care possible. You already
know the name Oschner Health from primary care to specialists,
oushan ask locations all across our state, making it easier

Elite Training Academy, and so when we were making the
decision who we're going to partner with, there was a
no brainer to work with Oshner working with athletes right
here in Louisiana. So if you need to schedule an appointment,
find a specialist, or just learn more information, you can
visit them at Oschner dot org. Is Oshanar dot org
