Speaker 1: All Star Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester.
Speaker 2: And Matt Flynn.
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go where.
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied The
Bitch Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the
Raisin Kine Studio.
Speaker 3: Welcome back in Now.
Speaker 4: Number two of OTB here live from Pro Dreams in
ben Rouge.
Speaker 3: Hey, remember we've.
Speaker 4: Been telling you the last couple of US segments. If
you buy something from pro dash Dreams dot com today
during the show, they have gotten an autographed Flynn or
Hester jersey to give to your purchase for free. Now
they had forty to start the day. I don't know
that they've got a ton left, but they do have
some left, So go ahead.
Speaker 3: Go buy something. I think we're about halfway.
Speaker 4: I might go buy something, but if they give me
a Flinn jersey, yes, I got these.
Speaker 5: So they got these new helmets, like so Trey was
telling us. They they had the regular size helmets that
you can buy, of course and call full size, and.
Speaker 3: Then they have a we're called regular.
Speaker 5: I don't know if your helmets are full sized after that,
and of course you got the traditional mini helmets. Everybody's
seen knows and loves but we got a new release.
I think they call this the medium, the medium, the
sh medium, so it's like right in between.
Speaker 4: Like one of those. I walked in and I was like.
Speaker 5: Like, of course, like the regular helmets are gonna be
like like four five, six hundred bucks or whatever many helmets.
We know the kind of the price on that, but
I think he said you can get these for like
around one to fifty something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they come with a visor too, which is
kind of the visor.
Speaker 5: And so I don't think that they make this version
of helmet like this model, this right down model in
the mini, but like I think these are like the
perfect size. We both of us walked in here and
like did like the head snap.
Speaker 3: Or like yeah, was that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Hey, what's that right there?
Speaker 4: I know that's new, that's new release. That's new.
Speaker 3: That's fun.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 5: I feel like a little child. Pretty nice, it's gonna fit.
I got maybe a two year old top, you know
what with Harlow's head in that. I need a picture picture.
But then that's very very cool, all right.

Speaker 4: Right, The New Orleans Saints take on the New England
Patriots this weekend inside the Caesars super Dome, and right now,
the Patriots are still holding strong at a three and
a half point favorite. Really, I didn't know we were
the favorite. No, no, no, the Patriots. I said, shoot, yeah,
sorry I heard you or you misspoke? No, and you
mishard me.
Speaker 3: Oh a real boy, real boy.
Speaker 4: Sure they go out there, just with the blower out there. Yeah, hey,
the door.
Speaker 3: We're trying to do radio. Try to do radio here.
Speaker 4: Award winning Radio Bard chill out. Yeah, God, the award for.
Speaker 5: The best show of the year goes tooh yeah, three
and a half point dogs, Okay, home dogs. I think
that's probably the way Drake May's playing.
Speaker 3: Now that you know your your playing.
Speaker 4: Three and a half is minus one twenty five, so
we could see a little bit of a line.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, probably yeah, plus three okay, so you know,
everybody getting a little respect.
Speaker 3: Drake May is getting a lot of respect.
Speaker 5: But you know what, I think, Spencer Rattler in the Gang,
the Saints coming off their first victory, can we can
we adopt the one and oh mindset for this week?
I think we got a shot at it boys. I
think I've predicted the Saints win every single week. I
ain't gonna stop. I'm not gonna stop.
Speaker 4: Maybe not, maybe not the Buffalo week.
Speaker 3: I don't think you did that week.
Speaker 4: Hm.
Speaker 3: Oh, do you want to say something?
Speaker 4: That's why we have a three hour radio show. I
got three hours to say something, I guess.
Speaker 5: So, speaking of the Saints, speaking of Ratler playing good,
I guess who's coming on the show tomorrow morning. Spencer Rattler,
the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Sah. That's right,
he'll be joining the show tomorrow morning. I believe in
the sometime in the seven o'clock hour, early bird gets
the worm. Early bird gets the worm. Sorry, first one in,
last one out.
Speaker 4: Let's go looking forward to that. Had a chance to
interview him a couple of times before. It's a great interview,
looking forward to his insight and uh oh yeah, where'd
he played college football?
Speaker 3: I think he played at USC which is in the South. Yeah,
South Carolina.
Speaker 5: I don't know if anybody's counting keeping count out there,
but if you're tracking the big time SEC opponents, this
year we played on thisss.
Speaker 4: We had Patrick Willis, who was bad luck.
Speaker 3: He was kind of South Carolina.
Speaker 5: The first person that came to our minds when we
were playing South Carolina was mister Spencer Rally.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, y'all don't have a Florida Gator? Yeah, duh,
we haved Florida goes Florida. Now giving him the airwaves? Yeah,
the lost your mind. Well, we'll give others, like I'll
even give Texas A and m the airwaves. Mafield call him,
yeah for sure.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I really kind of want to, like, of course,
there's lots of questions we need to get down to
at Spencer, but I really just want to know what
Spencer Rattler approved nickname for Spencer Ratler is. That's really
kind of where my head's at on this one. Are
you gonna ask him?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Is a rat pack?
Speaker 3: Rat Dat? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I think rat that right, Jordan Adam rat Dat. I mean,
y'all y'all live in New Orleans.
Speaker 3: I guess like the group of his group of fans
can be the rat Pack. Okay, all right, Well, we
need to come up with a good handful of them
and we'll ask them tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Which one he approached Three choices, at least three choices,
So looking forward to that tomorrow, and I'm looking forward
to the game this weekend because it's a great opportunity
for the Saints.
Speaker 4: Look, this is a team and the Patriots that just
went on the road and they beat an undefeated Bill's team.
All right, then me flying high, but you also got
your first victory, and you kind of look at some
of the places where you're strong, they have some weaknesses.
So I think it's actually a decent matchup for the Saints,
even though look again, I know that the Pagers have
a winning record. I understand how Drake May's playing. Stefan Diggs.
I don't know that he'll ever have the juice he
had like he had emotional int the Bills.
Speaker 5: This is an emotional low for him for sure. So
this could be one of those games which is tough.
They come off a huge win, huge victory. Everybody's talking
about how you know, kind of well they're playing, how
very Bril's doing up there, how well Drake May played.
It's the NFL. Anything can happen any given week. I
think this is a really good opportunity for the Saints
to go out there and show but they're not going
to win the game. If they can't be advantageous like
they were last week, they have to take advantage of
team's mistakes. Every team makes mistakes in every single game,
some less than others, some bigger than others. Last week,
there were some big mistakes at the Giant. It's made,
and we were took advantage of those opportunities. There's so
many times where you see teams drop an interception that
was right in their hands, or a guy fumbles and
the ball bounces around like a wet bar soap and
you don't get on top of the lay teams make mistakes,
it's if you can take advantage. So there's gonna be
some There's gonna be a handful of plays that are
gonna be the difference between whether or not the Saints
can take advantage of and beat a team who, on
paper is probably better than them. But we're going to
be saying that a lot this year. But I see,
you know, we just want to see the Saints fan
base wants to see growth every single week. People being
a little bit better, a little bit more disciplined, coach
coach Moore being just taking the next step every single week.
Speaker 3: Just let's get a little bit better.
Speaker 5: Let's start stacking successes on top of each other and
seeing improvement. So if we can do that and be
advantageous when when the mistakes do occur, because they will
happen on both.
Speaker 3: Sides, can they take advantage of him?
Speaker 4: And also, you know, going back to the Spencer Ratler
portion of this, Look, there's some people out there, and
I know Taylor, he actually linked there was an article
that somebody.
Speaker 3: Let's say, I want to make sure you get the
name right.
Speaker 4: Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports, he did his NFL quarterback
power rankings, okay, and he put Spencer Ratler thirty first.
And look, everybody's entitled to their own opinion. You can
have your own rankings. You can do whatever you want,
right and certainly we're going to see different rankings that
have Spencer Ratler all over the place. But I would
have to sit down and watch tape with who put
this together, and you'd have to tell me why, Like
I am big, and look that's what we learned.
Speaker 3: We're forged in telling me why.
Speaker 4: Jimbo Fisher's biggest thing was tell me why whatever was
good or bad, tell me why why did you do
what you did? He's got him only ahead of Cooper Rush,
who's starting for the Ravens right now. He's got him
behind Joe Flacco, behind Bryce Young, behind cam Ward, behind
Geno Smith, Dylan Gabriel, Justin Fields, Jackson Dart, Carson Wentz.
That's just trying too much. Yeah, you're trying to make
too big a deal.
Speaker 5: So I think it's the easy button for people that
don't really know ball or don't really like I mean,
it's hard to go watch game tape of every single quarter,
like if you're doing one of these rings. You can't
go watch like detailed game footage of thirty two quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: You know, I get it.
Speaker 5: I think it's the easy button to say, well, you know,
Spencer Roller, he's O and ten in his first you know,
ten stars, and not really look at kind of everything else.
But unfortunately, and fortunately, right quarterbacks, you know, that's the
ultimate that's the ultimate judge right there is the win
loss record. But you also have to look at the
situation around. You have to watch the situation around. If
you're ranking just actual quarterback play, certainly it's a outrageous
ranking right there.
Speaker 4: No, it is, And I think it's just somebody that
hasn't seen Spencer Ratler play. You don't factor in some
of the issues that his offensive line have had. You
don't factor in some of the plays that have not
been made by some of his weapons. Again, like I have,
I don't have stock in Spencer Rattler, Right, It's not
like if he plays better that I get paid off.
Like no, I just look at the situation that he's
been put in, and I think he is highly efficient
so far this year. I think there was some things
that you wanted him to take more chances on, which
he did a week ago. I think last week was
his best game, and now I think you can build
off that. What do we say when he got the
starting nod? I think he can thrive better in a
chaotic situation than Tyler sheut can. And he's done that, right.
I mean again, the pass protection has been horrid, certainly
from the interior. Like the outside guys, the young guys,
they are as advertised, they're really good players, but the
interior has been really bad.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: And that's the hardest place to get pressure if you're
a quarterback. And I think he's done well with that. Now,
what is the ceiling? I don't think we know that yet,
but let's not forget at one time in his college
career he was going to be a first round pick. Everybody,
first round pick, first round pick, Spencer Rally, it's going
to be without question. Well then he gets replaced. He
got replaced with a guy that went number one overall,
and everybody kind of forgot about Spencer Rattler. So I
think there's still more juice left to squeeze there. I'm
excited about the next couple of weeks for Spencer Rattler.
I think last week gave him some confidence. He got
a couple of players back. You get a falshimorre rodback,
you get a Taysom Hill back. You you know, Rashichi
heat is somebody that dominated in camp. He kind of
looked like he took over as the number one option
a week ago. So in the totality of all those
things together, there ain't no way in hell there's thirty
better quarterbacks right now than Spencer Ratler, No, none of no.
I would I'd put him somewhere in the seventeen eighteen range.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: And you look at you know, kind of what he's done,
And you got to look at year one to year
two improvements. And to me, that's like the that's the
biggest jump of quarterbacks going to make in their career
is year one to year two, whether you're playing or not,
whether you're like, that was the biggest jump I made
in my career, and I wasn't playing right, So it's
year one to year two because you're starting to understand
that first year, it's like, holy hell, this is a
completely different sport being in the NFL. It's completely different.
So you catch up and you either do or you don't.
You make that improvement or you don't, and we are
seeing improvement expect Like you look at what what Spencer's doing.
He's being pressured, one of the most pressured guys in
the league, and he has one of the least amount
of sacks in the league. So he's doing a really
good job of avoiding a lot. And we talked about,
like that's that's how he lived his life at South Carolina,
was playing under pressure and having to take advantage. And
you look at you got to take all these kind
of stats with the grain of salt when you start
talking and trying to talk somebody up or talk somebody down,
but you look at NFL completion leaders today, Dak Prescott
sitting there at the most completions with one hundred and
thirty nine, Matthew Stafford with one hundred and twenty two.
Spencer Rattler third in the league with completions this season
with one hundred and nineteen, followed by Justin Herbert one
hundred and seventeen Patrick Mahomes one hundred and six. And
now I say you got to take that with a
grain of salt because then you look at your yards
per completion or yards per attempt?
Speaker 3: Is it checked down, Charlie?
Speaker 4: Is this?
Speaker 3: Is it that? And that's easy to do.
Speaker 5: But the fact of the matter is this guy's playing
really well with really bad protection.
Speaker 4: In the interior of this offense.
Speaker 5: You're playing against defenses that are playing bend and don't break,
defenses against you, making you take completions because of the
lack of you know, the fifty three man roster talent
from top to bottom.
Speaker 4: Like he's doing a lot with what he's.
Speaker 5: Given and they're improving, They're working a whole new offense
that is looks to be improven. So all you want,
like a Saints fans like we're not expecting them to
go and make the playoffs and make a run. As
long as you see improvement weekend week at yeah, you're
going to probably hit a road vampire where some things
are going to go wrong. We saw them in the
Seattle game, like just the things right, like two special
teams plays, you get a block punt, you get a kick,
a pump return for a touchlay, it got out of hand.
Can I say that we're not gonna Saints not going
to see that again this year. Probably will just because
of the other team being more advantageous than you, taking
advantage of mistakes. But like I think consistently weekend we
got if you just showing some improvement, showing improvement, you
were going to win some games in the National Football League,
and I think you're gonna win good handful more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited about this weekend because I want to
see how they come back after being victorious, right, getting
your first win. How do you come back against a
team that also is going to have some positive momentum
after they went on the road and they beat the
Buffalo Bills, an undefeated team in their stadium in a
very difficult place to play. I think this is a
great week to kind of see exactly where the Saints
development is again, like we have no dreams of them
going on a run and making it to the playoffs.
That's not where we're at right now. But you want
to see continued development. You want to see some foundational
pieces being built here that can be the pillars hopefully
of Kelip Moore here in the near future.
Speaker 5: And no chat, I'm not wearing yoga pants. These are
called yagers. It's a soft jay, a.
Speaker 3: Real boy, a real boy, all right.

Speaker 3: All right, Hey guys, you back off my ankles? All right? Uh,
look at these things.
Speaker 5: These things are is a clear defined line between the
ankle and the calf. I keep saying this, y'all don't
want to hear it.
Speaker 3: Are you about to get a sensitivity?
Speaker 4: Fine?
Speaker 5: Oh no, I'm just trying to clear the air here.
There's a defined where the calf ends and the ankle begins.
Speaker 4: Don't huld to know that.
Speaker 3: Where exactly right there?
Speaker 4: Don't see a bud right there? I see that. No,
I see a calf that goes right to the bottom
of a foot. Boy, now you're just seen what you
want to see? All right? Big game this weekend across
the country, probably the biggest game. The game on the
Marquee Blinking Lights is number seven Indiana traveling to number
three Oregon. Oregon. Right now, he's seven and a half
point favorite. This is certainly it's a game that I
didn't have both teams in the top seven. I thought
Indiana would be still relevant. I didn't think that they
would be better maybe than they were a year ago
where they made the Cost Football Playoff Oregon. No surprise
where they're at. Really, Dante Moore is playing great football.
But both these teams have good quarterbacks, and I think
that's what makes Indiana better this year. Mendoza compared to
Curtis Rhart from a year ago, No disrespect to Curtis Rhart,
but he was limited. Hell, he didn't have an ACL
last year. If you remember that story he came out.
He's playing on torn ACL all season long. Mendoza is
a Sunday quarterback, so he gives you a little bit more, right,
little Lane yat there with Mendoza.
Speaker 3: He's not only a day quarterback. He might be the
number one quarterback.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he might be. He might be hearing his name first. Yes,
that's how good he's playing right now.
Speaker 4: And if you're if you hear this the part right,
if you hear that and you're like, what what are
you talking about? I'm just telling you there were signs
already a cow from a year ago, like a very
bad cow team, Like, who's that quarterback? Though?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like two weeks ago I started hearing the name.
Speaker 5: I was like, what are these guys talking about? Then
I watched a game. I was like, I I can
see that now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then you look at his stats eighty nine of
one twenty two, sixteen tugs and one interception on the
year so far on a team that a lot of
people didn't see being nearly as good as they were
a year ago. It was like man flashing the pan potentially,
Like there's some juice there. This coach has some juice.
He's got a lot of attitude. He's bringing it.
Speaker 4: He's telling people to google him.
Speaker 5: He called out Ohio State in the basketball gym and
he got announced like, okay, they had some juice, they
caught a flash in the pan. But no, man, this
is sustained success now and with a quarterback that is
playing really, really great and like he is skyrockting up
the draft charts right now and lightfully. So he looks
the part he making the reds, he's making pro reeds,
pro throws and having a lot of success with it,
and you can just see the talent that he has
and he just kind of on the field, he's in control,
he just gets it. Of course, I want to see
it a little bit more and more and more. I
wasn't as familiar as Jake was at CAL, but I'm
starting to get familiar as now. But you're looking at
a kid right now that Mike. I have his name
called number one next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean already thrown for over twelve hundred yards.
And also remember he can do it with his legs
if he needs to as well. And a lot of
people are looking and I want to ask you this question.
A lot of people are looking at the Oregon victory
on the road against Penn State and their questioning is
it good? They just they win? They lost to UC.
I will say that every game is different, every situation
is different. You went into a place one hundred thousand
plus people wide out situation you actually were up seventeen
to three and looked at Credit Spen State fighting their
way back. You went in overtime there, But you never know, like, Okay,
how much is that loss carry into the UCLA game?
And like what'd that do for you? Just it's hard
to compare games like that. I still think it's a
quality win for Oregon. Now, look, we'll find out they're
about to play a team in Indiana that went out
there and beat Illinois sixty three to ten, sixty three
to ten. That was a top ten Illinois team at
the time. So we'll find out. We'll find out about Oregon.
We'll find out how much that win against Penn State
really means.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking at some I'm looking at Frenana Mendoza's
kind of stats right now, and I'm looking at the
stat Is this true? It is saying that against ap
top twenty five opponents ninety one percent completion rate.
Speaker 4: Is z that good? I don't know, That's probably what he
had against Illinois then yeah, yeah, five toes and I
think that's the only top top twenty five.
Speaker 5: Then they played. Now, let's strength to schedule you know
has not been great. They opened up with Old Dominion
Kinnison stand.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, but Old Dominion beat the hell out
of Virginia Tech.
Speaker 5: That is true, and they beat all de Manion twenty
seven fourteen. So I mean, like, when you look at
that on paper and you see the names twenty seven fourteen,
it's probably a close game. When it's just like you're
you're playing the name game on that one. But like
you said, they did beat Virginia Tech, who you know
started out the season. People are like, all right, yeah,
not bad, but yeah it was bad.
Speaker 4: I always think like an impressive victory is okay. You
go and you beat Illinois, a top ten team, sixty
three to ten. Then you got to go on the
road the next week against Iowa. Who Iowa is. Obviously
we know they're solid enough, they're solid enough to be
able to beat you go on the road and you
win that game twenty to fifteen. It's always like, how
do you respond to the week after the win. That's
what we're talking about with the Patriots and the Saints.
It's like, how does the Patriots respond to going on
the road and beating Buffalo, because you know, there's a
lot of times like that big win. It's just as
hard to come back from a bad loss, yeap.
Speaker 3: And this all comes back to how, you know, for me,
how weak James Franklin and Penn State is. I just
I just got mad thinking about it. They got they
can they.
Speaker 5: A lot of excuses came out from their loss of
cow Well, you know, come off of you know, having
to go to the fly to California time zone change really.
Speaker 3: Mess this up?
Speaker 5: Well, how about the week before Oregon from that same
coast you just had to go, had to fly to
you and they beat your breaks off in front.
Speaker 4: Of your whea. You actually you gained your dark jerseys on,
like you gained some time.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, that excuse me, you don't left that didn't fly?
Speaker 5: Yeah, get out with that soft excuse.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Just just show up against a good team once. Yeah,
just be better, just one time, this one.
Speaker 3: Just what a big game? Do that?
Speaker 4: Because now UCLA's interim coach, who's coached one game against
a top ten Big ten team has as many wins
as you do against top ten Big ten teams.
Speaker 5: I got it, Jane Franklin, I got my bold prediction
for next year. James Franklin, head coach, North Carolina Tar Hills.
Speaker 3: Not old enough.
Speaker 4: That meets the age requirement.
Speaker 3: That's agism, buddy, does not meet the age requirement.
Speaker 4: You have to be at least on Social Security to
be able to uh get that.
Speaker 3: Job minimum sixty five.
Speaker 4: All right, we are going to step away, But that
is an awesome game. That's a big game. You'll be
able to watch that LSU fans, because it is I
believe that's a two.
Speaker 3: Thirty Central time kick.
Speaker 4: So you're gonna be able to watch that game in
its totality as you get ready for LSU and South Carolina.
I think that's gonna be I think this will be
a very highly contested game between two really good football teams.
So I'm looking forward to watching that one while I'm
tailgating out there at LSU. All Right, we will step away.
Trey's gonna join us. Pro Dreams. We're gonna talk. You

Speaker 3: There will be a very long line of h of
L s U revel revels.
Speaker 7: Yeah that sounds right, yeah words, yeah, the English language.
Speaker 4: These are pretty cool.
Speaker 7: I know y'all mentioned earlier, these new right L helmets.
That is a speed Flex helmet. It's called a MIDI. Yeah, okay,
so not a mini, but not a full size, full
size speed Flexes starting a seven hundred dollars range.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Just this helmet alone is one hundred and fifty. It's
really neat. It comes with the visor. It could fit
on on a small.
Speaker 4: Pert, small child. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's a cool opportunity to have something that
is a little bigger than a mini for a shelf dweller.
Speaker 4: Yeah, many a minis.
Speaker 3: It's tough.
Speaker 4: Yeah, bulls can be tough too, like trying to find
the space for it.
Speaker 5: But like, minis are really hard, especially like the the
new styles of helmets. They got all these like different
like air breathing holes and stuff like this. It's hard
to it's hard to find a spot to sign on
the mini size like before, like the old school, like.
Speaker 3: Shuts and stuff.
Speaker 4: But yeah, these ones plenty of space.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard.
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's a it's a helmet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a helmet.
Speaker 4: If you're a small child, don't put it on and
run into like a wall or anything.
Speaker 5: But wow, it's a good a meatheads. Don't do that
with a regular helmet either.
Speaker 4: You can do it. You can do it if you
want to. A lot of cool things going on here,
always some cool things. But also, like I do want
to mention game day, it's multiple locations, like not just
the one right by Mike the Tiger's cage as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we have six locations, so you could find us
in the corridors throughout the stadium. You could find us
outside of Gate twenty three right by the sweet entrance,
like you said, by Mike the Tiger. Uh, so you
can kind of find us all over here in the store.
We are open on game right, so we usually are
cooking out front and hanging out and it's a big
tailgate here. And cast your dollar to use the restroom.
That's a great idea. They do that in Italy. They
charge your dollar to use the restroom. You should be
doing that.
Speaker 4: You're not doing it, Yes, it's a good idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Dollar to use.
Speaker 4: I mean you say a dollar, I say five?
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, whatever, we got nice clean restroom, ac works here,
spent sixty thousand dollars on new they see units here.
Speaker 3: It is cold, yeah, I mean you have to think
pumping better. Get this hoodie out of the car.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, And today we'll call it. You know,
I don't want to miss quota, y'all. But you said,
just while the show, we're gonna do a twenty four
hour rule.
Speaker 4: Okay, oh, twenty twenty four hour rules.
Speaker 7: So anybody that purchases anything on our website, and for you,

Speaker 5: Got a question like, No, you don't have that one
in the in the in the card game, there's like
you get the relics. It's like and I'm sure in
your world it's like game warn jerseys. Well I put
this jersey on. Does it count as a player Warren jersey?
It is the last time I awore it in a
game was eighteen years ago.
Speaker 3: No, it is a player Warren jersey.
Speaker 4: You literally are wearing wearing it.
Speaker 5: But the last time I was a player for this
jersey was eighteen years ago.
Speaker 4: I'm not a player. I just crush a lot, you know.
So it's fine.
Speaker 5: One of these jerseys is going to be signed upside
down because I'm wearing.
Speaker 4: It, and that is you got to sign the back
because it's because your name's on the back.
Speaker 3: So that one's extra. That's specially one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So who wants the who wants to spend? Anybody that
spends over three hundred on.
Speaker 3: The website, how about that?
Speaker 4: Okay? Gets this one all right? Anybody that spent Okay,
if you spend over three hundred, you get the one
that Flynn signed upside down. Yeah, pay if you spend
three hundred, you also have a chance. I'm gonna inscribe
this one. This is the one that I'm holding, and
I'm going to make sure I put all the things,
all the inscriptions of Gator Hater, all those type of
things here on this jersey. And so if you want
an inscription jersey, right you guys, spend over three hundred,
that's right, har If you want the one that Flynn
signed upside down, because it's Flynn and I can't exp
playing him.
Speaker 8: It's got his DNA, don't clone me. Yeah, I'm gonna

s U athletes. And of course, I mean they've already
got stuff framed up ready to go so for the holidays,
like you don't have to go take it to your
frame shop and get overcharged for framing something. I mean
likely gonna find it here already framed. And if anybody's
ever had to go through that process, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3: That frame has led lights on it.
Speaker 4: It does. Are you kidding me? Right now? And Michael
Joan is pretty good at basketball, that's a Michael. I'm
pretty sure he is. He'd beat me one on one
for sure. I don't think he'd be sore after playing
on the one like he would be so sore. I
don't think so.
Speaker 3: You think you're still yes, yeah, I don't think you
lose that. He kind of hobbles around a little bit.
Speaker 4: Now, well, I mean we all do that.
Speaker 7: Make sure to come check us out two o'clock on Sunday.

buy anything from the website, you are going to get
either a Flynn or Hester autograph jersey. Now, if you
spent over three hundred dollars, you're gonna get the one
that Matt Flynn is wearing right now. He signed upside down.
I don't know what else he's gonna put on this jersey.
Only God knows, but he's gonna put something on this.
I'm going to sign this one. I'll throw it on
because I won't mind new player Warren as well. I'm
gonna throw it on. I'm gonna inscribe Gator Hater, all
the things that are near and dear to my heart
on this jersey. And if you spend over three hundred dollars,
you are either going to get the first one to

opportunities if you spend over three hundred dollars with these jerseys.
And so we appreciate Trey, we appreciate Pro Dreams. You

Speaker 2: You're listening to off the Bench, all.
Speaker 4: Right, welcome backan it is OTB here live from pro Dreams.
Trying to explain some analytics to Flynn. I think his
brain just win.
Speaker 5: Above replacement a war ranking. Has anybody heard of this?
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3: What does that say? He said, you tried to explain
it to me?
Speaker 4: He said, yours was positive, So it makes me thinks
my mind was pretty negative.
Speaker 3: It's a basic.
Speaker 4: Positive too.
Speaker 5: Let's go it estimates of players overall value to their
team by calculating how many wins that player provides compared
to hypothetical replacement level player.
Speaker 4: A Landra text. You don't know war Elandra. You know Flynn,
so you should not be surprised by this. Flynn. Whoa Flynn.
While you're looking that up, I'm going to remind the
people about l s U Snacks, the officially licensed snacks
of the Tigers. Everybodye supports l s U athletes, so

trying to figure out like who you're war is good?
Speaker 3: Adam?
Speaker 4: Do we have any names attached to Flynn's war like comparable? Oh? Tim?
Speaker 3: Like college or pro pro Tim Tebo?
Speaker 4: Oh, you don't need to say any more names, Adam. Look,
I'm sure mine's not great. Is is there any names
that are that are familiar names?
Speaker 3: Because said it was positive?
Speaker 4: Bro? I saw Tim Tebow's a fifteen yard comeback one
time he landed about twelve yards. Spencer Larson, okay, not
a real person. Oh Anthony Sherman, Oh I feel good.
I feel good. He was a baller. I had the
same as Anthony Sherman, Kansas City Chiefs fullback. All right,
feeling pretty good? Feeling pretty good?
Speaker 3: Oh man, you okay, now come out play national.
Speaker 4: I knew that was going to hurt you. The best
part is Adam didn't even know, like why that hurts you.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, it's good, right. Uh. Daniel in the
chat said Hester and Flynn would definitely for the bushes.
That's a other guys reference right there.
Speaker 4: It is just jump off the building, it is, Yeah,
the bushes. Yeah, you're gonna be okay? Are you the
rocker Samuel Jackson.
Speaker 3: Obviously the Rock? Yeah, true, some soup jacked.
Speaker 5: No ankle sized honeymore though the Rock looking pretty slim recently.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder I feels a.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Actually, I mean that very good it is.
Speaker 5: You know what, I wonder what it is? Wonderf it's
a health issue. Maybe just tired of eating too. What
was his diet like twenty five eggs and like two
large pizzas a day or something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember, like i'd seen him. He's like, yeah,
I'm cheating today, I'm eating sushi. I'm like, that's cheating,
but that.
Speaker 3: Sounds pretty That's what I eat for my health meal.
Like that's cheating. I'm meant some true.
Speaker 5: If that sushi restaurant's using Supreme Rise touche. See what
I did there? Yep, I did. He shoots, he scores. Hey,
I don't like this war statistic. I don't think it's
a real statistic. And why am I people laughing at
me for not knowing what it is? Because I don't
think anybody's ever heard of this.
Speaker 4: I do think it's more of a baseball thing than
it is football, for sure. So you're not into baseball.
The only baseball that you recognize is nineteen ninety five
Texas Ranger squads.
Speaker 3: Yep, so Wan Gonzalez, come on. War wasn't really talked.
Speaker 4: About when Julio Franco and Wan Gonzalez and pud Drodriguez.
Speaker 3: And because their war would have probably been like Baberus.
Speaker 4: Let's see Nicky Mantle, Kenny Rodgers is probably on this
team's Oh yeah, I would assume perfect game. Mickey Tinton, Teleton.
Speaker 3: Rusty Greer, frustial whole Maclamore.
Speaker 4: Had some polls. Now you're going back a little bit
past ninety five obviously with those names, but still not
that far. No, I'm saying, but they weren't like an
early nineties. But yeah, uh pro on those teams? Yeah,
how the hell do they not win? Well, Clark, did
they just have no starting pitching behind Kenny.
Speaker 3: Rocks on Pudge Roderiguez.
Speaker 5: Alright, he said that, keep up because they kept getting
beat by the Yankees, and they are always facing off
with the Mariners too.
Speaker 3: They usually beat the Mariners. I'm pretty sure ninety spaceball
was the best. Let's go back, let's go let's get
some needles in these guys.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, No, on that note, we are going
to take a break. More OTB coming back live to
