you love a good Wednesday. We got would you rather Wednesday?
We got Dear delandre coming up, one of our favorite
segments of the week. We got to get the Juice.
A little bit turned up in here, a little low
energy when we walked in, but I felt that it
started to pick it up just a little bit, just
a little bit excited about today's music theme. We've got
a lot to get to. We got a break down
training camps. Flynn smart and wore jacket. It tells you
exactly how this room works. He is in a.
Speaker 4: Hoodie, maybe pants, I don't know, very short short, okay,
very short, dad hoochie shorts and I'm in shorts and
short sleeves, because this room has a mind of its own.
Speaker 5: Got a lot of climates in here. We do a
lot of time I've been prepared. It's like the first
hour or two. After the first hour, it starts warming.
Speaker 6: Up a bit.
Speaker 3: It used to be nine. It got colder.
Speaker 5: I started doing the pushups, but I'd like to start.
I don't do the push ups before the show, so
it gets a little chilly, and I came in. I
told you, I came him about thirty seconds to a
minute early today to get a little extra prep in
for my top twenty five pick later in the show
eight o'clock hour?
Speaker 3: Did you just tease? I? Did you? You're getting good
at this?
Speaker 6: Three? Buddy? What?
Speaker 2: I don't think the math is right on that one though.
Speaker 6: Three third month?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you. I don't think you've done
three months for the shows.
Speaker 6: I'm in the third.
Speaker 2: Month, You're you're in the third month?
Speaker 6: Yeah you're, yeah, guy.
Speaker 7: Actually, because you started like late June.
Speaker 3: June one, I mean June was really hit or missed.
It was like, is he going to be here this week?
Is he not?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 6: I missed three days?
Speaker 3: Is he going to go on his fortieth birthday trip?
Speaker 2: Was it really June second?
Speaker 7: Either way?
Speaker 2: This is your second month?
Speaker 8: Well I guess so yeah, correct on this in your Okay,
June to July was one month.
Speaker 7: July to now is two?
Speaker 6: What? Yeah?
Speaker 3: You're you're yeah, if you're not watching, if y'all could
see the smoke coming from his brain right now trying
to figure out what talking about?
Speaker 7: I mean six plus two is eight.
Speaker 6: I'm not starting so I'm in month three. I'm not
three month old?
Speaker 9: Correct.
Speaker 2: I don't think you are?
Speaker 7: Wait are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Okay, yes, August second would have been two months, so
you're in your third count?
Speaker 6: Are we learning to count of three?
Speaker 10: Today?
Speaker 7: It's too early.
Speaker 6: It is Wednesday.
Speaker 3: It is C T E O TB. So who knows?
Speaker 7: Maybe brain cells in this room.
Speaker 3: In the entire room together, Alandra, how are we doing?
How was last night.
Speaker 6: Good?
Speaker 3: Anything?
Speaker 7: I just went to Saint George and then.
Speaker 3: We said you had stuff to do? Yeah, and then
I was our guy, David Delucchi doing good.
Speaker 8: He opposed something, So we love when somebody opposed something.
Speaker 6: Didn't have it?
Speaker 8: No, Well, actually I think the eyes did end up
having that one. But it's just like so they maybe
go to Saint George, who's city council meetings to live
stream them, right, And sometimes they're super boring. Sometimes like
they get a little spicy, like the ones I did
last week the Planning and Zoning Commission was a little spicy,
not to get everybody too excited. I guess somebody is
trying to build like a new subdivision out there in
Saint George, and.
Speaker 7: David was not with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, but I.
Speaker 2: Think it ended up passing.
Speaker 5: That would be do they use the word erroneous? Do
they use the word concur?
Speaker 2: I haven't heard erroneous yet.
Speaker 8: I don't think I've heard concur, but they do say
I it's coming. They haven't heard an a I heard
of and I yesterday when they were voting on the
no gabbles. They do have name plates though, and like
they do the public, they do let the public come comment.
And whenever I went to the Planning and oh my gosh,
they argued about this subdivision for like an hour, like.
Speaker 2: An hour spent on one item.
Speaker 8: But yeah, last week when I went to the Planning
and Zoning commissioned this like older man gets up and he's.
Speaker 7: Like, I declare a point of motion. Or something like that.
Speaker 8: He's like, you can't interrupt me because I declared this
and you gotta let me talk or whatever. And everyone's like,
that's not how that work. We will call for public
comment or something. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Look, I still don't understand how Saint George works. I
think I live in St. George exactly. Still don't know
how it works. We'll figure that out maybe on the
back end.
Speaker 6: It's like Michael from the office when he says I declare.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's exactly what that was.
Speaker 8: They were like, you can't do that, we can interrupt you.
Speaker 3: Did you go to any Saint George meetings last night
or maybe one's out in Livingston, Jake.
Speaker 9: If I tried to guess where they actually meet, I'd
be completely making it up.
Speaker 3: Sweet spot where they meet.
Speaker 9: Believe it or not that I don't go to a
trailer a lot of meetings, but I got a meeting, guy.
Speaker 3: I can actually see you going to something like that. No,
something something about that. Yeah, I got this neighbor when.
Speaker 6: It's only cutting his grass every three weeks, it's getting
up to six inches. Well, so you complaining about that.
Speaker 9: I can't because that's what I was, and I specifically
like bought a house that didn't have an H so
I can't complain about it.
Speaker 3: I was talking more about like brass around the city,
like in the meeting. If it was like too high
with your love of cutting gas, I'm worried about you
would like drop subtle hands, like drop a pair of
air monarchs off, like right there in the middle, just
to try to suddenly let them know they need to
cut the grass.
Speaker 9: I got, I got other stuff. I'm too busy worried
about me, not a little selfish guy.
Speaker 6: Guess who was in the community today?
Speaker 3: You do, yeah, be selfish? Yeah? Why are you dressed
up today?
Speaker 9: Jeans?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Have you seen the way we dress?
Speaker 9: She's got a dress one I means nice.
Speaker 2: But also like putting a dress on is so lazy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is a good point. Tell you what girls
can be lazy, look nicer.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're number two. Might release sleeves up all right,
then boys gonna be elbow.
Speaker 3: So that's basically what T Bob used to do with
the buttons when he started real Frog and he'd go
three buttons, he would go he would go lower.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go hunt.
Speaker 5: I love the roll up the sleeves, maybe part of
the hair on the other side. Tomorrow it's gonna get
crazy crazy.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I can't do that out there. Yeah, I just keep
envisioning like the show Parks and Wreck.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I love that show, which is better
than The Office.
Speaker 5: It is sorry, different than the Office. It's hard to
rank a better.
Speaker 3: I feel like those two go against each other.
Speaker 6: They do a little bit. I mean, you know, I
would say equally, I would say equally ten times, and yeah, don't.
I don't see it being your your next.
Speaker 7: Show Parks and Records.
Speaker 6: But like the city council meetings, those are just so
That's how I feel, like what you's just like what
you just said, like an older gentleman saying, like I
declinect like.
Speaker 7: He really did. It's on video.
Speaker 5: It's great for him though, Like if you you're passionate
about something, you'll fight for it.
Speaker 8: No, for sure, I forgot what it was even opposes you, right,
And I honestly can't find myself carring enough about planning
and zoning, but maybe I will one day.
Speaker 7: I just right now is not the time.
Speaker 6: It's not the time of life. No, I get it.
Speaker 8: I don't think I'm there yet I don't own any properties,
so maybe once I do, like all care, but I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't know a lot of people that are at
that part of their life.
Speaker 3: If they are, we're we're not going for dose together.
Speaker 8: Right, You would be surprised by the amount of people
like from the public that are at the Saint George
City Council.
Speaker 5: I believe you, Yeah, I believe I just you know,
I just I went wake up in the morning to
put my feet on the ground.
Speaker 6: I just choose happiness. That's what I choose. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: People also smell colors, so I mean, you know, CT.
Speaker 7: And hold people that go there like.
Speaker 6: Dreaming cartoons.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I wasn't in. I forget where I was.
And you get Bob with dreaming cartoons, because I think
Bob does dam.
Speaker 6: He was like, you know what you don't like?
Speaker 2: Gosh?
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The people that go there and show up like ready
to fight.
Speaker 7: I'm like, are you okay? What's going on at home?
Speaker 9: I don't think we're in the drange yet.
Speaker 7: These definitely are like.
Speaker 3: Our generation that made us so disappointed.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm. AnyWho, Yeah, they see, you know, zoning meetings,
the board of adjustments.
Speaker 5: What could happen like in your neighborhood or around like
the area that you visit you drive a lot, whether
it's on your way to kids school, or like your
your path daily path. What could happen that's so bad
that would make you say, look up the times and
dates of the next I mean, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I'm not really sure there is So there's a
I don't know.
Speaker 6: Trash on the side of the road. Maybe I don't there.
Speaker 3: Is love for me.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a bar that's not far from where I live.
Speaker 8: And one night the music was super loud, Like it
was very, very loud, and it was late at night,
and y'all know, like I go to bed super early.
Speaker 3: I did not call it.
Speaker 7: I didn't call anybody. I didn't call anybody.
Speaker 8: But I was like, if this continues, I can't live
like this.
Speaker 7: There there has to be, like there.
Speaker 8: Has to be rules, I know, because like my grandparents
they always get in trouble or how loud the music
is so like, there has to be rules for it.
Speaker 7: So I was just gonna look at the rule book.
Speaker 6: Okay, where do you find that?
Speaker 8: Probably in the uh It's like did they call it.
Speaker 9: The city?
Speaker 3: I didn't even know I lived in Saint George till
y'all told me weeks ago. So I don't think I'm
gonna know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, if you look it up in the city city ordinance,
they should have it.
Speaker 3: I'm a little disappointed. I mean music your thing, like
it must not have been your type of music, but.
Speaker 2: Also like stumping my walls, like you just call the cops.
Speaker 3: Can't call it people, what I mean for a bar,
you can't. You're gonna you're You're gonna be a narc
There would just be there there.
Speaker 8: Noise, or I would just look at the ordinance and
if the ordinances.
Speaker 3: If we ever run into some stuff and somebody snitches.
Speaker 6: I've just said, if you're thinking, all right, what's what's
the what are you gonna do if you if you've
had enough, Are you gonna call the cops when they're
doing it? Or you're gonna go to a city planning meetings?
Speaker 3: Which one is gonna be like you go to the
business Yeah the next day. Maybe what if you had
a could y'all turn it from eleven to nine?
Speaker 6: What if you had a newborn child that it kept
waking up in the middle of the night. Now what
we're doing. I mean, okay, now we're thinking no, Arlow
would be on the coffee table, probably dancing. If I'm
being completely honest with all right, you're.
Speaker 5: You have I think you have unrealistic expectations for people
in their baby.
Speaker 6: I've got a lot of arlow Is gonna be dancing.
Speaker 3: I've got five of them been through the process.
Speaker 9: I want to know why at the Saint George meetings
they're not fighting harder for this little plot of land
right here.
Speaker 3: That's the all that's that actually map right there, George,
look at this area that I don't want them all?
Speaker 9: Huh they all kind of does it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't go there a lot exactly one.
Speaker 6: Of my little girls in Builder Bear.
Speaker 3: We grew up in the eighties early nineties, like we
got like a soft spot from malls, especially Jake.
Speaker 6: He was rocking with Jacket Abercrombie.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love them all. The mall here kind of
not great, y'all.
Speaker 6: Didn't you do? They know?
Speaker 3: They did? I just didn't Why I didn't have one.
I don't know. My brother had one, older brother had one.
Wasn't good enough fit, you know, if Alisher didn't sell,
it wasn't really worth me wearing.
Speaker 5: I mean that is that is very shocking to me
because like even where I went to school, we were
big letter jacket wearers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, our school was like, like I said, my brother
had one, but no we weren't. It wasn't the thing,
not really. I mean people had them, but no they
didn't wear them. Yeah.
Speaker 6: For homecoming dances, did y'all wear the things like around
your arm? And then the girls wore the thing like that?
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, I didn't know Texas, right, Crissage.
Speaker 7: Were you talking about like moms and yeah.
Speaker 3: The garden, Yeah, a whole bunch of moms.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it wasn't like flowers. It was just like
it was just a band. But it was like they
would put like all these like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, girls wore the moms.
Speaker 3: Yes, I didn't have that.
Speaker 9: I mean for like prom it was the guys wore
the whole thing right here, like the flower. Yeah, and
then the girls that was just like a normal like.
Speaker 3: They had Like I'm talking about my gigantic.
Speaker 6: We just didn't put stuff. Yeah, it was streamers just
home coming. Yeah, stream Like the girls would go down
to their feet.
Speaker 7: Yes, they're the bigger, the better.
Speaker 5: Moms we'll pull up a picture, I mean, no telling
what our parents home something like yeah, yeah that was
the thing.
Speaker 7: They were expensive.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, like you think.
Speaker 6: Had a little football on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe like a whistle. Probably they didn't have honorable
mention all district absolute.
Speaker 6: Firing.
Speaker 3: Yeah we did it too.
Speaker 9: Yeah, because like when I searched Homecoming Moms, one of
the first things that comes up is Homecoming Moms Texas.
Speaker 2: I think it's a Texas I think it's.
Speaker 6: A Texas thing too. It's not surprising reasons.
Speaker 9: I've never seen these.
Speaker 3: Like I told you, if you're going to give me something,
I'll take East Texas over Southern Arkansas.
Speaker 2: People would create businesses off of making.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sure they charged do.
Speaker 9: All of them were Like this girl.
Speaker 6: She's just.
Speaker 7: They're like super extra.
Speaker 5: It looks like she's wearing it around her neck. Yeah
yeah yeah, but that's yeah, so that's not here.
Speaker 9: No, So like it's we did it just like a
normal wedding, like the guys wear the little little thing
on your chest and the girls wear it on the wrist.
Speaker 3: Definitely a text.
Speaker 5: I don't think we're not sit here saying it's the
right thing to do at all. Just the thing that
we did. Yeah, so it does add to people's argument
that report is East Texas.
Speaker 3: You know you think I've ever heard that before?
Speaker 6: No, I'm not. It's not a bad thing.
Speaker 3: Like if y'all want to make if y'all want to
like make an all three one eight team, I think
I think you'd be, you know, happy with the three
one that have come down here to play for the Tigers.
You know, y'all got a lot to say until y'all
need a three to come down here. Just saying I know, well,
make a pretty pretty solid team at front seven, Our
tackles Whitworth and Will Campbell will be pretty solid. Uh.
Speaker 6: And the nine of three boys that's East Texas?
Speaker 3: Who would that be? Just you? Yeah, I don't know.
I really don't know.
Speaker 6: Sarn Black.
Speaker 5: He went to your house right, he was about He
was my left tackle my senior year.
Speaker 6: He was a sophomore. He get first team on the district.
I don't know, I think he was for sure. No,
he wasn't injured. He played the wh year.
Speaker 3: He never got injured. He played like through bone on
bone knees.
Speaker 6: Also on that team, Brandon Pettigrew.
Speaker 3: Yeah, remember him, tight end stud. He was your high
school teamate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he was my high school team and he
was a junior my senior year.
Speaker 3: But and you still got honorable mention. He tore to
that game.
Speaker 5: He blew his knee up in our scrimmage was not
jamboree scrimmage.
Speaker 3: How did y'all not win more games? We mean you
had used saran in a first round tight end.
Speaker 6: We actually had seven D one signs my senior year,
we had seventeen or eighteen D one signys total.
Speaker 3: He must not have had the leadership.
Speaker 6: We got beat in the semi finals. I mean we
made it run.
Speaker 3: Like Spergers said, leaders at gotten on them.
Speaker 5: Our high school had never gotten past a second and
round of the playoffs until and then we got to
the well we should have won.
Speaker 3: Fast snap that was a guy's name center.
Speaker 6: It wasn't a bad snap, I thought.
Speaker 3: Jimbo said it was a bad snap.
Speaker 5: Well, I was, like, I was making it. I was
making a protection adjustment. He snapped it, thinking like, was.
Speaker 3: It a good snap? If I was standing there? That
turns it into a If I.
Speaker 5: Was standing there, it wouldn't have been a great snap.
I wasn't standing there. It's kind of like Brett Helms
in the National Championship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Uh, we're gonna take a break, and

Speaker 5: A great customer service over there and I felt incredible afterwards.
So yeah, y'all go see them get vitam as, get hydrated.
Speaker 6: Goflowiv dot com.
Speaker 3: All right, So, the thing we talked about most after
the Saints' first preseason game was our disappointment in the
offensive line. It was a group that we had heard
had been doing really well in camp, and it wasn't
in the totality of the offensive line. It was really
just a couple of spots. But as a unit, as
we know, we talk about it all the time. Football
greatest sport that we have because you have to be
working in unison with your teammates. It has to be
eleven guys with the same goal, doing the same things,
working in the same direction. Well, they didn't get that
done the other night against the Chargers, and they just
took another blow. Because our guy Will Clap obviously former
LSU Tigers, joined us on this show just a couple
of weeks ago. He is going to be placed on
the IR. I think he got I think he got hurt.
The first play he tried to stay in you could
tell something wasn't quite right. And so Will Clapp is
going to go. He's got Liz Frank oh Man I've
had that. It sucks. It is not fun, it's painful.
It's not something you can come back. Maybe he maybe
could come back late in the year, but I mean
it would be it would be a crazy rehab. It
would be one of those ones where he's living basically
every single day, eight hours a day, trying to rehab.
And I just at this point in his career, I
just don't think that's probably a smart choice for anybody involved.
And so Will's going to be out for the year.
Liz Frank injury, and again, Matt it's a big blow
because well, I mean, McCoy's a stud I think he's
your best overall offensive lineman, but he's been through injuries
and that's why they signed Will. Clap like Will had
been here before, but also he had been with Kellen
in LA with the Chargers and so they knew each other.
He's like, Okay, well, if McCoy goes down, we've got
this guy can count on. Now you're kind of yeah,
again hitting reset on one of these offensive line positions.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you just you hate to see it. I mean,
of course the Saints fans, man, we don't want to.
You can't be bit by the injury bug.
Speaker 3: So we talked the team to stay healthy if they
want any kind of a chance.
Speaker 5: Starting twenty two, you know, to twenty two top twenty
five to thirty guys. Yeah, good, pretty good players, like
we could. You can form a team and not be
and be competitive, maybe be the worst in the NF
maybe the second roster. When you start getting the injuries,
that's where you're really going to see the gaps and
the gaps and talent between between this team and then
and then that is what can lead to a potentially
lead to just a bad, bad record at the end
of the year in drafting high in twenty twenty six.
But like, like for Will Clapp personally, I came on
this show, we all cheer for him. Lshoe guy. Like
he wanted to come to the Saints. He wanted from
New Orleans, New Orleans, that's right, and so he wanted
to come with a new coach and change. He had
familiarity with it, and you could tell, like when we
talked to him, you could see in his face, you
could hear in his voice it truly excited about the opportunity.
Speaker 6: So heartbreaking for him. Yeah, the list Franks injuries, that
is Uh, yeah, it's up to something.
Speaker 5: And we talked to we alluded to this last year
with injuries, like so many people were bitten by the
injury bug last year. But because of kind of the
disarray that the team and the organization was, the coach
and change everything, the poor record, you got to question
how hard people actually fought.
Speaker 6: Because you've got to fight to get back. You gotta
want it.
Speaker 5: Just like you said, you got to spend day, night, mornings,
everything in either in the training room or with the pets,
the strength coaches, rehabbing, handling the inflammation, also timing up
like how you're working out Strengthen there's a lot of
work that goes into it, and it's hard, Like coming
back from an injury is harder than working out when
you're just because you got.
Speaker 6: To work more hours and it's just it's more difficult.
So you have to want it to get back.
Speaker 5: And so last year we kind of questioned how hard
are these people actually fighting to get back on the
field when there's not really anything there to worth fighting for.
Speaker 6: But this year, new season, new hopes.
Speaker 5: We'll see especially like you mentioned this late in his
you know, later on in his career, is it the
right thing to do to.
Speaker 6: Try to get back. We'll see his body will let
him know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as our guy Nick Underhill reported, they have tried
out already a bunch of interior offensive linemen. They had,
let's see, two centers and a guard tryout come out
there work out for the team to try to see
if they can get somebody to shore up at least
during camp. I mean, you still got two preseason games.
You still got some time left in camp. Justin Ross
also was a part of this tryout. Remember him, Combine
Star first round pick. Right, it's top I don't know,
top fifteen. I know from the Bengals. I'm pretty sure
years ago. Leonard Payne was also in that defensive tackle
maybe some names that you will know, but it looked
like it was defensive tackle, interior offensive line, and receiver
that the Saints tried to work out here in the
receiver room. Like we've kind of talked about it, I
just if your guys aren't ready to go yep. Well, look,
I don't know what to tell whoever.
Speaker 5: It wasn't too much into like the workouts, because their
teams work out guys every week I do throughout the season.
Speaker 6: They're always working.
Speaker 3: But it tells you like where they're where they feel
like they're deficient.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 5: I remember when I came and worked out for the
Saints before I signed with them. I think I was
throwing and there was like six wide receivers. There was
like two tight ends, two running backs that were working out,
and it's just like they're I mean, that's the like
when you're a free agent during the season, and like
when during training camp, like you're you're traveling, you're traveling.
Speaker 6: It worked it out every single I've done every single
Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Gosh, twenty thirteen, I don't even know hell what season
it was, but yeah, I did the I did the
workout tour. I went. I went to Chicago, went to Detroit,
I went to Tampa. Then I ended up in Denver.
Now all those places I'm talking about, I had at
least like one guy with me. Chicago is me and
Ryan Grant, all right, rgie. Uh yeah, I had much
better work out than him. Shocking they signed him.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: Then I went to Detroit and gosh, it was what
was his name, Rock Cartwright played for Kansas State, I
think in college. Gosh, some of these names. Tampa Bay
Carl Knicks maybe was there Saints, you know, obviously fans
will remember that name, and they tried to get him
to run a forty and he was basically like, I've
made the Pro Bowl. I'm in your kid. You made
a run of forty? Yeah?
Speaker 6: What what?
Speaker 3: And then Denver was just me, so that was different.
I was like, anybody else is gonna show up or no?
Speaker 6: Just you?
Speaker 3: Cool?
Speaker 6: Cool?
Speaker 3: I got John Elway and Peyton Manning sitting here watching
me run those drills. They're gonna be so impressed with
my cone drills. Here the only place drils.
Speaker 6: I went to.
Speaker 5: So I had to work out with the Patriots. They
they tried to make me run a forty with like la.
They brought out the briefcase like the strength coders brought
out the briefcase that had the laser time on there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like we had to put your hand on the
like the censor pad and run through it. And I
was like, hey, what are you doing? Is I'm set
up a forty? I was like, I'm not running a forty?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I'm an eight year quarterback yep, who is
not a threat to anybody to pop off and get
about fifty sixty a game, So I don't know why
you need that. Let's just throw how about that? Yeah,
all right, we want to do the forty, but you
are gonna do the L drill.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh my god, all right, first el drill
since the Combine nine years, eight years previous to that.
Speaker 3: Yep, how'd that go?
Speaker 6: Hey? They signed me, so maybe it went well.
Speaker 5: The only time I worked out and didn't get signed,
so I had to work out with the Saints, got signed,
had to work out how to do a workout with
the Patriots, had to do workout. Didn't have to do
with the Jets because I was had a hamstring injury.
I had to work out with the Bills that I
had to read. This was a funny one.
Speaker 6: I had to work out for the Packers when I
came back after the Bills. What Yeah.
Speaker 5: They had me work out on a Tuesday with all
the free agents, like the receivers and everybody in the
tight ends and running backs.
Speaker 6: Again that I had to go throw to him. And
so I'm there throwing in front.
Speaker 5: Of the scouts and like Ted Thompson's there and this
was I think it was after their actual practice, and
so it might have been.
Speaker 6: I can't remember what day was.
Speaker 5: So I'm there and I'm working out and I'm like,
all right, so it's everybody and now I'm like like
talking all the equipment.
Speaker 6: I'm talking to everybody. And then Mike McCarthy like runs in.
He's kind of late and he sees me like throw
a slant route and he's like, hey, what are we doing.
Speaker 3: He's like, I think we're good. And I was like,
all right, I don't know this guy. We've done a
poor job of scouting. He's been here for a while.
Speaker 6: Yeah they were good, but yeah, the only one we're
to have the Cowboys. I think I told that.
Speaker 5: Sorry it was Yeah, I was there for multiple hours
and I didn't get signed it eventually, but hey, landed here.
There you go, ended your career in Louisiana. Yeah, well done.
Their cutthroat about it too. Sometimes when I was with
the Saints. When I worked out with the Saints, it
was a bunch of guys and everyone's trying to hold
on to that dream. Everyone's trying like the last breath
of the dream. Because they've either been on a lot
of them have been on some NFL teams for a
couple of years had success, they just can't find a
way onto a roster r. Some guys have never been on.
They're young, guys, hungry, they're just trying to hold on
to that dream. And like they come in and they're like,
all right, it's all the group of us. He's like,
all right, Flynn, you go to go up to see
the GM. Everybody else. We're booking your plane tickets now.
And I'm like, oh my god, Like you just talked
to them individually.
Speaker 3: Can you be a little nicer about it and not
with me in the room please?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Great, everybody else, there's gonna be a van. We're gonna
tell you the airport brutal, not good.
Speaker 3: Or they can say, hey, we're gonna take you to
the hospital, get you some extra like we're gonna look
at you a little bit, like we really want to
sign you. So once you do some extra stuff at
the hospital, SI, Yeah, if you're there for six hours
and then they don't sign you, and you're like, what
the hell was that.
Speaker 6: We know you're hurt, we think you're probably hurt, but
you just go to the airport.
Speaker 3: I know, all right? So yeah, Saints take a hit
on the offensive line, and so Ross has got a
great story up on louisianasports dot net right now, kind
of laying out who they tried out, where they feel
like they're deficient, where they're going to go after this
will clap injury. So again trying out multiple guards, multiple centers,

about for Lshoe, not Baylor, not talking about seek them.
Speaker 6: I were seventeen and I weard middle school.

Awful number.

Speaker 9: Kind of an underrated player on that twenty nineteen team though, Like.
Speaker 2: I was just reading this and its just trailing off
and I was like, I don't remember him either.
Speaker 3: See, I thought you just went to Matt's favorite website
and gave you some bad information.
Speaker 8: No, I'm I was looking it up because I have
to do like a countdown anyway, So I have to
find a number.
Speaker 2: Seventeen.
Speaker 3: Ah, you do, I go, Benny Brazil, We'll do that.
I met Mo Clavern's like certainly the most decorated. Shout
out to Mo through one great give. I got Benny some.
Speaker 6: Loud it bends in the Olympics.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 6: He ran for our country.
Speaker 3: That is very true. Shout out seem running all the time.
Saw Benny two three days ago. I told him, I said, dude,
pop in, you might just walk through that door any moment.
I don't know.
Speaker 6: I told him.
Speaker 3: I was like, anytime you want shock me. I was like,
open door policy, go on in, do a touchdown to him.
That's all mess mm hmm wait five or four?
Speaker 6: Five? Yeah? It had been five. Yeah, it was because
it was Is that the.
Speaker 3: Game that that JV got souplex Biopatrick, Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was with uh Tracy Smith was our GA. Yeah,
signaling the plays and we had this like we had
this inside joke that, uh, like, what are you gonna
do if it's really cold outside and you have to
wear gloves and be the signaler?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we he would always do.
Speaker 5: Every time I got in the gamer and practice, he
would act like he had mittens on, and he would
signal things like like he had mittens on.
Speaker 3: And I remember, I'll never forget Tracy very established NFL
coach now see, because.
Speaker 6: He went like strong right, and he went one forty
four and he would go like, ohio, he'd have to
like make the like this, and and then he did go,
it's just like one forty four got protection when you
were in.
Speaker 3: Every time we were in together, one forty four.
Speaker 6: Was two running backs, one tight end, landra two running backs.
Speaker 2: One tight end, twenty one personnel.
Speaker 6: Oh now there you go.
Speaker 3: It's called a relic now.
Speaker 6: So it's a co route. And it was like goes
like shooting a gun and with Minton's to do this,
and he did that to me. I'll never forget that
singing on the play.
Speaker 3: And we're gonna try to make it confusing because we're
gonna act like we had mittens on.
Speaker 9: So I remember this game, we're watching it in our
hunting camp. I'm pretty sure Benny Brazil got an excessive
celebration penalty on that play. He might have, I'm pretty
sure he did. Like I'm almost positive for you eight.
Speaker 3: Eight bad math.
Speaker 9: Yeah right, yeah, because I'm about to be about to
be twenty nine September eleven, I'll I'll be twenty nine
and almost a month.
Speaker 6: That's literally just a guess. I wasn't doing any math.
Speaker 3: Just wow.
Speaker 6: And you remember Benny Brazil's in like mop up duty time,
You remember that excessive celebration Matt.
Speaker 9: Listen, dude, Like if you ever like ask me to
like remember to figure out the trash shatout trash rangers,
you know where I left my keys, my wallet, no idea,
but I remember random stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Benny in two thousand and five, almost up by thirty
celebrated a little too hard, and he remembers.
Speaker 9: That I'll try to find.
Speaker 3: With the bomb squad though out there, because that's when
I got a chance to play running back. You were
in their quarterback and we were playing against maybe like
Fresno's State or somebody like that. I remember one time
and you were like, hey, guys, not trying to be
you know what but can y'all give me like three
or four seconds to throw the ball? Yeah, just like
I just want to get through my first read. Can
I get like three or fours? I guess to throw
the football because they're back here pretty quick. I think
it was Fresno State, if I'm not mistaking. I don't
want to be that guy. You were trying to be
nice about it, but you were also like you even
laid out.
Speaker 6: I don't want to be ya no, but it'd be
some times you would have been in at that point.
Speaker 3: We're not going to call names. Some of them probably
listening right now.
Speaker 6: I know they are, because there's millions listen to worldwide
about it, no.
Speaker 3: Doubt about it. One of the things and I know
we'll see tte you put, you know, because number seventeen.
You put Watkins name in here, and obviously, you know,
excited to kind of see what he can do. We
saw what he did on the track and field circuit there,
but now on the football field. But one of the
things I keep like, when I go out there, I'm like,
all right, which one of these receivers is going to play?
And you got to like, eventually you want to crunch
that down a little bit, like I think you want
to have and maybe you know this better than I do.
I think you want to have we have five that
you feel like an eleven personnel at any time can
be in. Is that number? Is it too small just
because and I don't know this like this is this
is your expertise and we can take a break and
then we can hit it when we come back. But
like I do want to know, because everybody's going to
run routes differently, you.
Speaker 6: Want to have at least five.
Speaker 5: Like we're talking to college football season right, fifteen sixteen game, Like,
if you want to do what you gotta do, it's
like sixteen games.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's come back. We'll end our number
one talking about that. We'll do it right here on OTV.
Off the bench, all right, Go to gcopnet dot com,
Gulf Coast Office Products and man, the office actually starting
to come together there, Clark. We got the interactive whiteboard.
We're throwing some new paint on the walls. We try

They are gcop net dot com.

This is off the bench with Hester and Flynn. Baton
Rouge is go to for all things Louisiana Sports.
Speaker 6: Click up in the morning, Pull myself strong.
Speaker 3: Oh I get lonely, I.
Speaker 6: Do, ma'amory gets burning clean Back on them, burden Joe
s Hell can't keep cleaning on you. Looks like I'm
learning the hard way again.
Speaker 9: It's all my father.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I dropped about you're going in now I'm gone
three C two thinking about all.
Speaker 6: I've went in on you.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome to OTV one O four five ESPN
Betton Ruge. My whole point the last thing was like
I just want to know who's coming in because everybody
runs routes a little bit different.
Speaker 6: Yeap. But you're saying like, oh no, I'm not saying
I'm not disagree there is I know the.
Speaker 3: Team wants to keep like three or four guys ready,
but I'm just saying, like, if I'm Garrett ne Smeier,
like I want to know if we're in eleven personnel,
there's a chance that these five, these six receivers are
going to be the ones that are in there. Because
I can really like, all right, he's gonna run across
the middle like this, he's gonna run a comeback like this,
he's gonna run a slant like this. Just because you
know everybody does. Give you an example, uh Me and
Darren Sprolls were in the backfield. We were going to
be asked to run the same routes. It's just going
to shock a lot of people. He ran them a
little bit different than I did. LT did as well.
It was crazy. So it was a quarterback like.
Speaker 5: You, well, yeah, you had the offensive coordinator's job to
design the game plan and design the right place. You're
gonna put your guys in the right position, because certainly
is gonna run a route better than another. And yeah,
some got one people is gonna they have like eye
dominance that they're working on now. So some people have
a better pass percentage going turning left than they do
turn and right.
Speaker 6: Some people aren't ambi turners.
Speaker 5: Okay, so we're just going to put your guys in
the right position to run the routes that they are
more suited and best. Now, some guys, that's every single route,
and that's your top guys, and then you're gonna rotate.
But yeah, if you have five strong ones like that
have that show up in the stat book with a reception,
that's a good day. And of course sprinkled in with
with your tight ends and running back skinning receptions. But
I'm just saying my thought was, you want.
Speaker 6: To have at least five really good options available for
a lengthy season like we like college football has become
with the playoffs, because what you have to go sixteen,
you have to play sixteen and make it all the
way through everything. Yeah, it's a long season. There's go
it's footballs closure sport. There's gonna be nicks. There's gonna
be people that.
Speaker 5: Miss some games, some series, missing plays, So you want
to be It's just like the offensive line, that's just
a position. You have to be loaded.
Speaker 3: At lsu is, they are loaded and I'm gonna, you know,
I'm gonna be fascinating to see how it plays out again,
because we talked about it the other day, Kyle Parker's
name continues to come up, and that was probably somebody
we didn't talk a lot about. Not that he didn't
deserve to have the conversation about him, because we all saw,
you know, last year, when he was healthy early in
the season, what he could be. But he got hurt,
and you know how that goes. It's like out of sight,
out of mind, you bring people into the portal. But
good on him for fighting and being part of that conversation.
The coaches can't stop talking about Kyle Parker. So it
is a loaded room and it's going to be interesting
to see how it kind of all plays out when
you play Clemson, Like what's that eleven personnel look like?
What's that rotation going to look like? Because you got
a lot of choices, you got a lot of different guys,
a lot of different skill sets to choose from. All right,
when we come back, kick off our number two. We'll
give you the OTB Top twenty five to fifteenth ranked
