00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,120
would think that anything that's not Wonderwallers Champagne super.

24
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:12,560

118
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:07,040
with you. Yeah, not here, No, not in this light.

119
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,199
Speaker 4: When we were training for the combine here at that

120
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:13,959
Tom Shaw's Training Academy and the Orlando, Florida we trained

121
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:15,480
at the Wide World of Sports at Disney.

122
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:16,639
Speaker 3: He loved it, and he used.

123
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: To yell at the lineman, he before you go to combine,

124
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,959
go get a spray tan.

125
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure, he.

126
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: Said, because tan fat looks better than white face.

127
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 5: Because everything if you can't tone it, tan it.

128
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,199
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

129
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: Nice. I like that.

130
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:33,959
Speaker 3: But the shirts we had we had to do that too.

131
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,120
In Tempe. Yeah, we either you work out with your

132
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,600
shirt off and you get that tan in that way, yes,

133
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:42,879
or like because we were on the campus of Arizona State,

134
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:46,680
it's like, you go get a spray tan, yeah, my shirt.

135
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,399
Speaker 4: That's what you gotta do when you got to stand

136
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:51,519
in front of a bunch of grown ass men with

137
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,360
a jockstrap on.

138
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: Imagine that not only like to our listeners, imagine.

Speaker 2: Can you do a three sixty?

140
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:03,399
Speaker 3: Yeah? Not it was crazy, not just one time for me,

141
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,519
Like at the Senior Bowl, at the Super Combine, you

142
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,879
like you are in a room full of like the

143
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:18,439
highest executives in the NFL, like twenty rows deep people

144
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,879
and Jacob Pester running back Louisiana State University, and you

145
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,920
walk out there and you got to girdle all no,

146
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,680
and you gotta you gotta do your arms out. You

147
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,160
gotta kind of like do like a little twist. They

148
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,199
give like uh height and weight and don't measure your

149
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,800
hand there and they measure right like they measure everything

150
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,720
right there and then they say it to the crowd.

151
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,319
Can you imagine like if T Bob would have had

152
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:44,639

00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if you did it because you're a quarterback.

158
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,199
It doesn't really matter. Like they had those body fat

159
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:08,399
percentage pods and you had to get in those they

160
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:10,720
got your body fat, and the body fat was also

161
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:13,839
announced on stage. Oh gosh, can you imagine some of

162
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:17,279

166
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,079
very I'm not like accusing anybody of anything, but it

167
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,160
feels very ditty because you know, like to me, I

168
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:37,920
just feel like these people are so rich and they

169
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,560
just get so bored that they're like, let's go look

170
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,519
at these men and their jock straps.

171
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: Had a girl. Yeah, full jock streps.

172
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:48,839
Speaker 5: There are different.

173
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: Is Yeah, you got your cheek, but.

174
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: A girdle you have it like shorts shorts that you

175
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:03,399
could put Yeah, so it's like thong versus Yeah.

176
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,519
Speaker 4: In the world, in the world of yoga pants and

177
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,079
now yoga shorts, I think the girdle is more normalized,

178
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,480
like it's a normal thing, noure right, Yeah, so it's

179
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,040
not it's not that.

180
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just didn't in my head I had something

181
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:18,480
different for a girdle, Like I guess I thought a

182
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,040
girdle and a.

183
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 6: Jock strap were the same.

184
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,959
Speaker 3: Yoga shorts a good way.

185
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Did you wear a girdle, plane.

186
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:27,639
Speaker 3: Jockstrap, girdle on top of that pants? Yeah?

187
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: I always thought it was wild, like in the like

188
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,919
all the new technology that came out with uniforms and

189
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:42,279
compression shorts and ways to keep your boys intact, of

190
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,639
the people that would play tackle football in the NFL

191
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,639
with just a straight up old school jockstrap underneath their pants,

192
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,200
like like not even a new one, like with the

193
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,399
like the rubber strands like kind of sticking out, like

194
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:00,440
like some strands that popped and stuff just felt like

195
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,879
go in the drawer. Yeah, it wasn't their own personal one.

196
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:05,399
They'd go in the drawer of the you know, the

197
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,399
XLS or whatever.

198
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

199
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,639
Speaker 2: True, they used we're talking about.

200
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 5: Oh they're used.

201
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: Some people would, well they were used.

202
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 6: Some of our our girdles were used.

203
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

204
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,799
Speaker 4: Well, so like even in Green Bay, Green Bay was

205
00:09:19,799 --> 00:09:22,039
a worse about like uniforms and like like you take

206
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,960
things home. Yeah, yeah, there was a big drawer of socks, girdles,

207
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:29,440
shock straps, and they would just wash them. You'd throw

208
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,679
them in the bin and they'd wash them. Even in

209
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,200
the NFL.

210
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,759
Speaker 6: So did y'all y'all, y'all did that all.

211
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,159
Speaker 2: I don't.

212
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:40,000

256
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,519
of our guys. Former LSU All SEC player now going

257
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,360
into year number eight in the NFL. New Orleans Saints

258
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,200
offensive lineman Will Clapp, what's up, Will? How we doing?

259
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:05,519
Speaker 2: Man?

260
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,639
Speaker 9: What's going on? LA's appreciate you'll have me on.

261
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:10,759
Speaker 3: How in the hell are you going into your number

262
00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:13,919
eight already? Not feel like that's even possible?

263
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 10: I must feel because I was a little kid when

264
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,759
y'all are crushing Florida. So I mean, I, uh, it's

265
00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:24,440
not number number eight, it's uh, it's flown by quick man.

266
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

267
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I've gone on this year at a time.

268
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,679
But you know, after every season you kind of moved

269
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,200
the bar and excited to go after you year number eight?

270
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,799
Speaker 3: Now, So what's it like going into training camp now

271
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:40,960
going into your number eight? Because Flynn and I were

272
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,799
telling kind of training camp stories like when you get

273
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,200
older in your career, it's a little bit different. You

274
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,759
have like a different mindset entering training camp. Like, so

275
00:12:47,919 --> 00:12:50,720
for you, what is that mindset now as you're going

276
00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:53,519
into your number eight? You're established veteran, you're a vested

277
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,399
veteran in the NFL. Is anything different for you?

278
00:12:58,399 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 9: The Uh?

279
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,639
Speaker 10: I was just telling the guys, like the nerves stay

280
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,759
the same, Like I'm still just as nervous excited just

281
00:13:04,799 --> 00:13:07,039
to get going as I was when I was a rookie.

282
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,039
But uh, there's also you know, I'm I'm confident in

283
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,639
you know, what I do now, Like I've I've figured

284
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,279
out who I am as a player, and I also

285
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,120
you know, you know, found my role. And one thing

286
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:21,799
I've you know, enjoyed over this past couple years is

287
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,120
not only you know, doing my thing, but also helping

288
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,279
you know, these younger guys figure out, you know, what

289
00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:27,960
they're good at and you know, how to establish their

290
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,639
role in the NFL, kind of like what some older

291
00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:30,919
guys did for me when I was younger.

292
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a there's a big difference going into training camp,

293
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,600
just really a mental and pressure standpoint of like you

294
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,320
just have to focus on your physical job now instead

295
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,639
of like learning how to be a pro learning offense.

296
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,200
Is like there's there's a huge pressure off your back.

297
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,120
But I got I'm curious as to this your second

298
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,840
tenure with the Saints. Four years with the Saints, spent

299
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,200
sometimes with the Chargers, last year with the Bills. Now

300
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,720
we're back in New Orleans, and there's been obviously new

301
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:04,360
coaching change. Is there any familiar faces or things that

302
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:07,200
you see now that you're like, all right, that's that's

303
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,399
the same or is everything just been kind of like

304
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,159
a wholesale change.

305
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 9: Now. I've been I've been pretty lucky.

306
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 10: So I've played for Kellen in twenty twenty three in

307
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,120
LA uh coach nusion line coach. I've had him when

308
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,519
I was at the Saints my first run and was

309
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:23,559
hit with him in two years in LA. So I've

310
00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:25,399
kind of been lucky in the terms of, like I've

311
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:27,759
already been in this offense. I've almost been like a

312
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:30,519
sounding board for these uh, these current guys of like

313
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:32,399
trying to figure out what's going on because I've already

314
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,720
been through it, going through it in twenty three, you know,

315
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:36,559
and you know, just being with the news my whole career.

316
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:40,120
Uh So, I you know, like you said, I'm going

317
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:41,799
to this camp kind of hitting the ground run in

318
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,240
just from a familiarity standpoint and just worrying about, you know,

319
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:48,000
you know, putting my best product on the field physically

320
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,840
every day because I feel like mentally, you know, I've

321
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,279
I've already gone through the you know, the ups and

322
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,600
downs of figuring out a new playbook, you know, back

323
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,559
in twenty three, Kellen, what is.

324
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,559
Speaker 3: The plan for you this year? Will because obviously the

325
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,639
center position is going to be, you know, the one

326
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:04,039
that's out in front. But you've played everything. You've played

327
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:06,080
tight end. I mean I remember watching you your first

328
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,960
time with the Saints. It's like you're reporting you feel

329
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
like every time you're going in there and you're playing

330
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,879
some tight end stuff, like, what do you feel like

331
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:13,879
the plan is going to be for you this time

332
00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:14,960
around with the Saints?

333
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:18,159
Speaker 10: Thanks to be a similar deal. It's anything and everything

334
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,840
with your If you're a backup with this league, you

335
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,200
need to be able to play multiple spots. It's something

336
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,919
that I got lucky enough that Coach Miles when I

337
00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:27,639
was at LSU, he was always big on having guys

338
00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:29,279
like me and Posik, you know, be able to play

339
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,039
a bunch of different spots. So I mean I literally

340
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,399
freshman year played right guard, sophomore year played left guard,

341
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:38,080
played center my junior year and that's I think helped

342
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,639
me in the NFL. And as a backup, you need

343
00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:41,919
to be able to play multiple spots. Like you said,

344
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:45,440
I played tight end. So it's really just anything I

345
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,679
can do. To, you know, make myself valuable to make

346
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,559
this roster every year.

347
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, so will I kind of heard some once you

348
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,240
signed with the Saints. I heard you talk a few

349
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:56,320
times and say like, you know, when you heard Kellen

350
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,240
Moore was getting the job, like you were hopeful that

351
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,519
that they would read out and something could happen. Y'all

352
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:03,639
could make it work. I kind of want to know,

353
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:07,360
Like as as Louisiana and Hohole like gets familiar with

354
00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:09,639
Kellen Moore as a head coach for the Saints, like

355
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:11,559
we all want to we all want to see what

356
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,519
the product looks like on the field. But what made

357
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:16,840
you excited to want to rejoin with him and the

358
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:21,519
offense that that you're gonna get like immerse back into.

359
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 9: Yeah.

360
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,399
Speaker 10: I think the most exciting thing about Kellen as a

361
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,480
play caller when I was with him in twenty three was,

362
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,600
you know, he he gave us the control to you know,

363
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,279
make things happen on the field, and he showed us,

364
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,600
you know, the utmost confidence even when we weren't getting

365
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:38,039
it done.

366
00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 9: On the field.

367
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 10: I mean, you guys have been in these in these

368
00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:42,080
games where let's say you're not running the ball well

369
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,679
and you know your coach just abandons it. You're say,

370
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,399
all right, well it's the second quarter and this is

371
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:48,000
like a two minute drill now because we're not running

372
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,159
the ball. Well, like would just come up to us

373
00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:51,600
on the line and be like, hey, guys, I'm still

374
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,600
calling us to figure it out.

375
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 9: Like I know, y'all gonna get this done.

376
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:56,679
Speaker 10: Like like those small little moments like he never has

377
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,679
a panic, he never changes things are going well, things

378
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,039
are going.

379
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,679
Speaker 9: Bad, He's the same guy. Uh.

380
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 10: I'm excited just to be back around that. And you know, uh,

381
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,880
the staff he's put together. You know, I love my

382
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,640
time with nus Uh. You know, also just being able

383
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,359
to chop it up a BATTLESU football with him. Yeah,

384
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,079
it's always a highlight of my day of being with

385
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,160
Nuge and the rest of the guys. So it's a

386
00:17:16,279 --> 00:17:18,519
it's an exciting staff. It's you know, and I think

387
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,759
you know Callen being at the forefront, it's he uh,

388
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,960
he's just he's creating a great environment for us.

389
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: Well, I kind of want to go back to you

390
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,000
talking about playing multiple positions and you've had to kind

391
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,440
of do it all. Well, I got like Trevor Pinning

392
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:32,680
is going to maybe have to do some different things.

393
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,720
He's played a lot of tackle. He's gonna try to

394
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,200
probably play some guard this year. Like, are those conversations

395
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,640
maybe that you've already had or that you will have

396
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:42,759
with him saying, Hey, this is you know, this was

397
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:45,279
my mindset when I went into a game, because I

398
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:48,240
could have played three different positions in any given game

399
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:48,960
that I went into.

400
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, just talking with Trev about the position

401
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:54,839
changed me. He's really embraced the guard move.

402
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,319
Speaker 8: Uh.

403
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,799
Speaker 10: Trev's a super talented guy. And you know, some of

404
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:01,519
the stuff we've seen and we didn't have any live periods,

405
00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:04,079
but in the individual periods where you know, you know

406
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,880
we're honing in on the technique. I mean, this guy's

407
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,799
a freak. I'm super excited to you know, watch him

408
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:13,160
develop and you know, help any way I can. I know,

409
00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:15,240
News and TJ and job that. I mean, there's some.

410
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,319
Speaker 9: Great guys to you know, be able to mentor this guy.

411
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 10: And he's already played a ton of ball and I

412
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,119
think his best football still ahead of him. I think

413
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,799
this is his fourth season, h finally getting to play

414
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,519
inside and you know, I mean, this dude, when he

415
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:30,039
gets you in a phone booth, he's gonna beat up,

416
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,119
so these dudes arena be closer to him. I'm excited

417
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,599
to see what he can go through this season and

418
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,960
you know, hopefully this leads to you know, a big

419
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,279
contract and lets him you know, be the player that

420
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:44,119
we all thought he was going to be coming out.

421
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:44,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

422
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,279
Speaker 4: Uh well, I can't like not go an interview without

423
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:50,519
asking something about quarterbacks, right.

424
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:52,759
Speaker 2: Uh So, like you got you got.

425
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: Two young guys that are playing and and competer right now,

426
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:58,039
and I don't want to like anything know about anything

427
00:18:58,079 --> 00:19:01,680
specifically about that quarterback com petition. But you know, having

428
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,920
yourself and other like really vested veterans leadership can always

429
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,440
help a young quarterback or any young player come in,

430
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:13,440
have to step in and take on a role, especially

431
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,759
you know position of all positions, the starting quarterback role.

432
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,519
What have you seen from the young quarterbacks as far

433
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,240
as just diving into a new offense and trying to

434
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:26,720
take you know, some sort of leadership role, vocal role

435
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:28,559
within the team, within the offense.

436
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:30,279
Speaker 9: Yeah.

437
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 10: I mean, these guys have been great all throughout OTA's

438
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,039
They've you know, it seems like they're attached to you know,

439
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,039
Scotty and Nuss's hip on just trying to you know,

440
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:40,759
get every bit of information they can. And you know,

441
00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:42,720
there wasn't much like live Team Piers. They had a

442
00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:46,200
couple seven on seven's, but uh, you know, we weren't

443
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,079
doing live bullets with pass rush and everything. But I

444
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,279
think the thing they did the best job of in

445
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,440
OTAs was becoming, you know, just close to all the guys.

446
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,960
I mean, you know, between Spence, Tyler or Jake, they

447
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,799
all you know, every day just trying to do something

448
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:02,440
with with all of us. I mean, you know, y'all

449
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,319
know how Ota is go. It's it's golf central.

450
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: So I think it was.

451
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 9: Golfing were getting to know each other. Man.

452
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:12,799
Speaker 10: Yeah, the rounds go crazy and OTAs, but we uh

453
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,079
you know, that's that's the part that I feel like,

454
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,279
especially for QBS, is just you know, getting to know

455
00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:21,519
everybody and uh being being great friends with all these

456
00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:24,480
guys because you know, the relationships matter, especially you know

457
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,160
with your receivers and all that.

458
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 9: So I think they embraced that role.

459
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 8: Uh.

460
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 10: I think they're all excited to compete, and you know

461
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:34,119
the competition I'm excited to see during this camp.

462
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 3: Now, well, I know you are splitting time, I believe,

463
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,160
through New Orleans and California. But you've gone through training

464
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,720
camps at LSU. You've done them there for the Saints

465
00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:47,640
and some of the hottest places in America, and you

466
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,440
got spoiled like I did when I went to training

467
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,440
camp in San Diego. It's like, this is the easiest

468
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,319
thing I've ever done. Are we ready? Are we mentally

469
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,440
ready to get back into the heat and humidity of

470
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,599
a South Louisiana training camp?

471
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 9: Mh, I'm ready. I'm ready for it, but I won't

472
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,519
say I'm all love the heat of like you said.

473
00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:07,599
Speaker 10: I mean I was in I was in Newport Beach

474
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,440
for for two years for camp and it felt I

475
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,480
mean it felt like winter out there. I mean I've

476
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:15,839
had chrismssus otter than what we were doing in training

477
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:18,160
camp there. And then I was in Rochester, New York

478
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,480
last year for camp. So it's, uh, it's definitely be different,

479
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,480
but uh yeah, like I said, the the motivation is

480
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,480
still the same, you know, being uh being this league

481
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:31,839
so long, it's a it's an addictive thing just being

482
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,440
in the you know, being in the locker room and

483
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,200
you know, wanted to keep your career going. So I'm

484
00:21:36,279 --> 00:21:39,279
I'm just as excited, you know, Newport or UH or

485
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:39,839
New Orleans.

486
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you don't have to lie to this about

487
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,000
the heat, do Like, I get it.

488
00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:45,559
Speaker 4: I was in Green Bay for one year and I

489
00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:47,839
came back to try to do one tens with a

490
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,119
team at LSU during the summer one year. Ye, and

491
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:53,440
I couldn't make it past like six or seven. I

492
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,319
was like, not this in for me anymore. My body

493
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,200
is just like shut off, being like in the heat.

494
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,279
Speaker 10: So We're about to go run conditioning test in a

495
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:03,200
little bit and it's nowhere near what we did with

496
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:03,920
the ones ends.

497
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,559
Speaker 2: The NFL condition and tests are kind of a joke.

498
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: You know, Wait, Mom is not going to be out

499
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,799
there yelling at you, whispering sweet nothings.

500
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 9: Yeah.

501
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 10: I was part of that group that ran thirty two

502
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,519
one ends uh and one conditioning test day and then

503
00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:20,480
we did a league workout after, so yeah, I won't

504
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,799
be going through that today. It's amazing the things you

505
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:24,400
can do when you're nineteen or twenty years old.

506
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,839
Speaker 2: Very true, It is true.

507
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,079
Speaker 4: So I got all right, So this is what I'm

508
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,400
really curious about. Have we talked technique? I know, we

509
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,400
haven't read beause we don't pads on yet. I say,

510
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,759
we we're you know, Saints people over here. So y'all

511
00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:38,960
haven't worked because you don't pads on. But y'all talk

512
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,039
technique scheme. What's the x's and o's look like of

513
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,000
a toush push.

514
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 10: Of a tush push? So we haven't talked about a

515
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,200
tush push yet. Oh as soon I know they have,

516
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,880
I know tush push they have. They told us they

517
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,039
have specific drills they do. They have not heed it

518
00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:58,559
to us. Okay, I'm I'm excited to see.

519
00:22:58,799 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: You know, you're going to be in there, like if

520
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,359
there is a situation of a to push, you'll be

521
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,839
in there, right, there's no doubt.

522
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 9: I mean, would be pretty cool.

523
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,279
Speaker 10: I mean, I mean obviously, I think what makes the

524
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:12,200
toush push like the what it was for the Eagles

525
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,559
was like Jason Kelcey just being an absolute freak.

526
00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:17,079
Speaker 9: But I'm excited to see like that.

527
00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 10: They said they have like specific drills they did for

528
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:21,680
so I'm excited to see like the film on it all.

529
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 3: Right, well, last one before we let you go, and

Speaker 3: I was about to say, well, you and Foster have

537
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,000
some kind of a bet towards that game. I mean, hell,

538

553
00:24:24,319 --> 00:24:26,839
that's the place. I'm excited that I can frequent now

554
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:28,440
instead of like going there once every now and then.

555
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 9: When I'm back home, I would say my spot.

ton of tongue because I got to watch the weight.

607
00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:05,920
off the Bench too?

608
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: All right, welcome again, OTB one oh four five, ESPN,

609
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,039
Beton Rouge. Let's go now to one of our guys.

610
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,000
LSU defense coordinator Blake Baker. Coach, always a pleasure. Hope

611
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,440
you're doing well. Training camp is upon us? Coach? What

612
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,720
training camp is this for you? Between playing at Tulane

613
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,960
coaching over the years, Like do we know do we

614
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,160
have a number of what training camp this is for you?

615
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 8: Uh? In college football? I guess it'd probably be probably

616
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:47,440
year altogether. You're twenty, I think.

617
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: All right, so I know coach, Hey, we both hit

618
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:55,279
forty over here, me and Flynn, so we feel that.

619
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,599
But I asked that because I would assume you probably

620
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:01,279
have like the same feeling. Maybe it's maybe it's different

621
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:04,519
as a player and a coach. I've never been a coach,

622
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,839
but we were talking about it. It didn't matter like year four, five,

623
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,359
six in the NFL whatever, Like there's still this feeling

624
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:14,160
in your gut and look, it's a good feeling, like

625
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,200
football's opponent us. But like twenty years in, do you

626
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,440
still get that same feeling.

627
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's kind of a mix of butterflies of excitement

628
00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:28,880
and anticipation. And you know anytime especially you know, like

629
00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:33,640
and I always go back to whenever I first started playing.

630
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,880
You couldn't have freshmen come in early in the summers.

631
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:41,200
Summers overall were probably fifty to fifty because schools didn't

632
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,039
necessarily pay for summer school. So got that anticipation build

633
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:50,359
up of seeing the guys again. And yeah, I think

634
00:28:50,359 --> 00:28:52,480
if you start to lose that feeling, it's probably time

635
00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:53,599
to hang it up.

636
00:28:54,359 --> 00:28:54,799
Speaker 9: All right.

637
00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: I think everybody has this coach but like a training

638
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,000
camp story from your playing day, And like we were

639
00:29:02,039 --> 00:29:03,759
talking about a couple of weeks ago, there was one

640
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:07,200
practice where like every and this was at LSU, like

641
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,839
every running back went down with cramps, like Ali, Bruce

642
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,240
Sar Justin Vincent like all these guys, like they just

643
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:14,400
kept cramping and they were out of practice. And so

644
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,759
it was me and Sean Jordan, who we both played fullback,

645
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:20,079
but I was playing some tailback and we just rotated

646
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,480
full back and tail back, like Sean had no tailback experience,

647
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:26,079
but it's all we had left and so first team

648
00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:28,799
second teen thirteen. It didn't matter. We were just rotating

649
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:30,680
and like that was one of those days that ended

650
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,920
up in like twenty five ivs, you know, yep, in

651
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,880
the locker room and you can't really even do that anymore.

652
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,839
But I know, I have to imagine that you have

653
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,319
one of those training camp stories.

654
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,759
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, there's well again. Back you know, back when

655
00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:48,640
we played yet freshman you had three days of freshman

656
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,920
camp and we actually went away when I was at TWULA.

657
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,079
My first two years we went to Saint Paul's and

658
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:55,839
Covington and did Baul camp there. Then my third year

659
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,400
we went to Southeastern before they brought back their football

660
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,599
team there on Strawberry Field. But I'll never forget, and

661
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,359
I want to I want to say it was that Southeastern.

662
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,079
I know, I know it was one of the places

663
00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:12,559
that we we traveled to for camp. But after you know,

664
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:15,279
after some practices in between two days of course, you

665
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,000
had to get that that lift in too right and

666
00:30:18,119 --> 00:30:21,519
uh man, I remember a guy on our team was

667
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:23,559
in the middle of a bench press and full body

668
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:26,039
cramp just locked up and the bar just laid down

669
00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:28,839
his chest and you're like, man, like you said, that

670
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,839
wouldn't happen nowadays, you know, But yeah, we've all had

671
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,839
those days, especially in South Louisiana. You can't. You could

672
00:30:35,839 --> 00:30:38,000
try to beat the heat, but obviously you're doing two

673
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:40,200
days and you're getting in there, you know, starting before

674
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,119
the sun came up and then when the sun was

675
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,400
going down, so made for long days. But I do

676
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,920
remember that was one of the It was kind of

677
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,920
really scary, to be honest with you, watching a guy

678
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,480
full body cramp with with bench with the bench press

679
00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:52,240
bar in his hand.

680
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,759
Speaker 4: So when we were playing and everybody on the team,

681
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,680
not everybody, but there's like twenty thirty guys, I had mopets,

682
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:00,720
and so I was one of these guys had a moped.

683
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,400
I'd zoom around from my dorm or whatever to the

684
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,880
locker room and I got I was walking to my

685
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,319
moped after training camp practice, and I'm a quarterback now, right,

686
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:09,599
so all we do is like play.

687
00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:10,519
Speaker 2: Catch and run around a little bit.

688
00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 4: But like I was walking and I just felt a

689
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,440
little twitch in my calf, and I was like, you

690
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,240
know what, maybe I don't jump on my moped. Right

691
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:19,519
the second I walked back in the training with full

692
00:31:19,559 --> 00:31:22,200
body cramp, the worst, most excruciating pain.

693
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 2: I was like, think, if.

694
00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:25,319
Speaker 4: I was on my moped right now, full body cramp,

695
00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:28,119
I'd be laying out like I'm at the circle right now.

696
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you.

697
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 8: Probably have You probably have a pretty scratched up face.

698
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,599
Speaker 4: Control it once you lock up right, maybe career would

699
00:31:35,599 --> 00:31:40,160
have been over right there off the Toyota moped coach.

700
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,960
I want to talk about your defense a little bit. Jake,

701
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,039
and I had the opportunity at SEC Media Days last

702
00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:48,200
week to talk with Chris Hiltondu Smyer and your guy

703
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:50,960
with Weeks, and I want to ask you just watching

704
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:54,119
with control of room, watching him talk with the passion

705
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,960
I was. I looked at Jake and I was like, man,

706
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:58,160
I think I would I would die for this guy

707
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:58,960
right right now.

708
00:31:59,279 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 8: He got me five.

709
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:03,799
Speaker 4: Have you ever been around a player that has such

710
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:08,519
an infectious positive attitude that just around the area that

711
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:09,440
he carries himself with.

712
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 8: No, He's very unique in that way. And then especially

713
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:16,160
the you know it was interested in watching as the

714
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,480
year went on. You know, sometimes guys let success go

715
00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:21,680
to their head or change a little bit, like he's

716
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:24,039
he's still the same wit weeks today that he was

717
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:26,559
you know when I first came in last spring. But

718
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,839
you're exactly right when you talk about his positivity, like

719
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:32,880
he brings that even when it's you know, one hundred

720
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,559
and thirty degrees out on a practice field and everybody's tired.

721
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:39,640
He's really never, never negative, you know, to be honest

722
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,400
with you, and I think our guys feed off of that,

723
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,799
and really it's it's something that we try to pride

724
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:48,000
ourselves in, you know, as far as being positive and

725
00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:51,680
uplifting and not necessarily dragging each other down. But he's

726
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:53,400
the epitome of it. He does it as well as

727
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,640
anybody I've ever been around.

728
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:56,079
Speaker 9: You know.

729
00:32:56,359 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: It's a group that's got a lot of players, and

730
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,279
you and I have talked about this. A lot of

731
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:03,240
guys that I would consider meatheads again term of endearment,

732
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,680
but like I feel like, like in this defense, like

733
00:33:06,759 --> 00:33:09,079
it's important to have those guys. It's important to have

734
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,240
those guys like like Flynn said, like I think I

735
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:12,880
die for this guy. Well, I think with and I

736
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,640
think West, and I think Hybrin, Like all those guys

737
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,720
would die for LSU's defense. And it feels like you've

738
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,400
got a great combination of those guys mixed with some

739
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,920
just raw talent, mixed with some young guys, mixed with

740
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,839
guys from kind of all over the place. It feels

741
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,000
like a better mixture of personalities this.

742
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 8: Year, Oh for sure. I think I think it's it's

743
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,279
probably spread out across the board, like you just talked about,

744
00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:40,559
when you've got a really really good, strong group of

745
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,279
upper classmen mixed in with some younger classmen that have

746
00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:47,200
played some football as well. But those guys, they you know,

747
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,200
there's they spend more time in the weight room and

748
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,640
and out on the field running one tens than they

749
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,640
do you know, in practice, especially this time of year.

750
00:33:55,759 --> 00:33:58,559
So to see those guys in that leadership, you know,

751
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,759
getting out there for some team runs this summer and

752
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,079
watching them, man, it's imperative and in the unselfishness like

753
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,119
there's no Again, we have a lot of really good players,

754
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,000
in my opinion, but they're all bought into one common goal.

755
00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:13,719
So that makes it a we got a chance to

756
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,039
have a special unit based off of those things.

757
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,159
Speaker 4: Hey, coachin y'all did a really good job this offseason

758
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,079
in the transfer portal, you bringing Patrick Payton, you bringing

759
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:25,800
mansword delaying to Marcus Cooley to secure some spots on

760
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,800
the defense. Tell me what that process is and just

761
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,480
integrating them with two you know guys personality wise, but

762
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:34,280
more importantly into your scheme.

763
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it starts. I think our our personnel

764
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,760
department does an outstanding job with evaluating the type of

765
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,159
talent that we feel is a really good fit for

766
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:48,599
what we do defensively. And then it's kind of like

767
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,480
speed dating once you're once you're in the transfer portal process.

768
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:54,679
But the but the one thing I'll say is the

769
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,360
advantage you have from a transfer portal process is usually,

770
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,920
you know, so somebody on that staff, whether it be

771
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,000
a streamth coach, whether some of them supports staff, usually

772
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:09,239
somebody that you've worked with byer, and you can really

773
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,159
get a fair assessment. And and sometimes you know their

774
00:35:13,199 --> 00:35:16,960
assessment isn't always true as well, just because some guys

775
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,800
need a fresh start, and so you got to take

776
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,000
all those things into consideration. But throughout that entire process,

777
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:25,280
you have to make sure that they're a fit for

778
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,719
for the culture and and all those all those guys

779
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,119
that you mentioned have been a plus. It's been again

780
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,000
really really fun because we needed some upperclassmen, to be

781
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,440
honest with you too, and and these guys have come

782
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,000
in humble and hungry, and it's been fun to watch

783
00:35:40,199 --> 00:35:44,079
the integration of the current players that we had before

784
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:46,159
they arrived, and then once they got here, it's it's

785
00:35:46,159 --> 00:35:47,119
been pretty seamless.

786
00:35:47,559 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 3: Well Blake, like you said, like you had a chance

787
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,960
to see them in the weight room and running one tens,

788
00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:54,360
but now here coming up, they're going to be in paths.

789
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,039
It's going to be football activities. Which position group with

790
00:35:58,199 --> 00:36:00,960
you know, all the new coming into this defense and

791
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,880
you pair with guys that were here, Which position group

792
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,800
do you think you'll eye hustle the most, like in

793
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,400
that first week of training camp to kind of because

794
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,599
you've got a belief of what they are and what

795
00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:12,440
they can be, but now you want to see it

796
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,039
in pass. Which group are you probably going to maybe

797
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:17,800
watch the closest? I guess that first week of camp.

798
00:36:18,639 --> 00:36:22,519
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd say it's probably it's probably twofold. I think

799
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:26,320
the safeties, you know, especially with aj Halsey coming in,

800
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:28,920
you know, most of the guys we had through spring

801
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,840
PRACTICEE have somewhat of an expectation of those guys going

802
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,719
into the fall camp. But I think the safety position

803
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,480
and the defensive tackle position the same thing we got.

804
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:41,599
We got some new guys that weren't here in the spring.

805
00:36:41,639 --> 00:36:45,079
When you look at Bernard and the two freshmen Buddy

806
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:48,239
Mathis and Brandon Brown not having a chance to outside

807
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,559
of that for the most part, you know, and really

808
00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:55,639
the young guys at linebacker, I'm really intrigued to see,

809
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,239
you know, what what those three income and freshmen do. Again,

810
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,360
we had Charles Ross here, so uh. But but overall,

811
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,639
I'd say the safety position is probably what I'll be

812
00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:07,280
and most interested and seeing how those guys gel. I

813
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,800
think you have to have such chemistry back there together,

814
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,760
and we've been mixing a match at them this summer,

815
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,000
and I think it'll be an intriguing position battle.

816
00:37:16,599 --> 00:37:19,039
Speaker 4: Hey, coach, I'm curious as to kind of your schedule

817
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,639
once training camp starts with your installation and then how

818
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:25,559
that kind of flips over to game planning. Of course,

819
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:29,639
you're gonna install base defenses, teach them the foundation of

820
00:37:29,679 --> 00:37:31,599
what you want to do, and then kind of get

821
00:37:31,639 --> 00:37:33,199
into like the more detailed and.

822
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:34,159
Speaker 2: Intricate things after that.

823
00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 4: But week one you never want to like look ahead

824
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,480
or game plan, but of course you face a mobile guy,

825
00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:41,800
dual threat kind of guy with a kid club. And

826
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,119
do you start like integrating those types of defensive philosophies

827
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:48,760
and schemes earlier on because of what you're gonna face

828
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,280
first game.

829
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, to be honest with you, uh, that last week

830
00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:58,440
of spring ball, we started introducing you know, cleanse in

831
00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:01,840
and some of their base plays and honestly some of

832
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,679
their problem plays, just to kind of get a look

833
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,239
at what we think we might like going into fall camp.

834
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,119
So yeah, and I think you know, coach Kelly has

835
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:12,000
been open and talked about it. It's something that we've

836
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:16,920
talked about with our guys throughout spring, throughout summer. So

837
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,800
you know, really when it comes to installation, a lot

838
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,480
of it's going to be based on when that specific

839
00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:27,079
day early on. That is what I'm talking about, That

840
00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:29,639
specific day comes up on the install schedule, whether it

841
00:38:29,679 --> 00:38:34,119
be you know, day one for instance. And again from

842
00:38:34,119 --> 00:38:38,039
when we played to now, the installation process and the

843
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:42,719
acclimization processes really changed. I think it's I think it's

844
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,039
like sixty or sixty five percent of all camp injuries

845
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:48,800
come in the first two days, we've gotten much smarter

846
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,559
and I don't want to use the word easing guys

847
00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:54,840
into but our practices the first couple of days are

848
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,280
generally shorter so they can get acclimated again they've had

849
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,599
all summer. But as we all know on this phone call, man,

850
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:05,199
once you start really chasing the rabbit, man, you kick

851
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:10,079
those hamstrings into extra gear. So I think, you know,

852
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:15,000
from a base installation standpoint, we'll be very similar to

853
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:17,199
really how we were in the spring and how the summer,

854
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:21,079
and then once we start getting into probably about week

855
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:25,639
two and a half, we'll really start probably flipping that switch.

856
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 9: A little bit.

857
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,159
Speaker 3: As Matt mentioned, we wor at SEC media days last

858
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:31,599
week and BK got up there and he's like, hey,

859
00:39:31,599 --> 00:39:33,880
we're not hiding from the fact that we're playing Clemson

860
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:36,519
in week number one. Talked about having Paul Prince around

861
00:39:36,559 --> 00:39:39,280
the facility. Want to oh around the facility. That is

862
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,639
a little bit different, but I gotta be honest, like,

863
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,920
I really like that. And Matt and I in our

864
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,679
time we played I think three Power four opponents in

865
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:50,000
our four years of playing here, and I always like

866
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:52,280
coach like, hey, let's don't try to hide from who

867
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,679
the opponent is. And I hadn't really seen that in

868
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,719
years past when Elsh's had these big time openers, So

869
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,639
it seems like it's a point of emphasis to know

870
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:00,679
who the opponent is.

871
00:40:01,679 --> 00:40:05,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you know that the definition of insanity

872
00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:07,079
is doing the same thing over and over and expecting

873
00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:11,519
a different result, right, And so, you know, I think

874
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,199
and I think that's the coolest thing about coach Kelly Man.

875
00:40:14,199 --> 00:40:18,119
He's always learning, he's always adapting. I think he does

876
00:40:18,159 --> 00:40:20,840
it year to year based off the opponent. Also, you

877
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,719
know who is on our current roster, and I think

878
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,639
we have a very mature roster that can handle you know,

879
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,599
some some you know, you have a young team, sometimes

880
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:35,400
you can build it up too much, right, And so

881
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,079
I think does a fantastic job with that. But I'm

882
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:41,440
excited about I know we're doing some things differently in

883
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:44,239
fall camp and we haven't gotten necessarily into the nuts

884
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,119
and bolts of what those things are going to be.

885
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,880
But again, I think it's just created a little more

886
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,480
sense of vergence two with our guys too.

887
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, coach real quick tell us about how the new

888
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,719
defensive line Coach Kyle Williams has just kind of like

889
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,760
dove in and been part of the staff the recruiting

890
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,480
and just how he's jumped in and really kind of

891
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,960
helped us. I was, you know, I was roommates with

892
00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:08,039
him for a year in college. I was teammates with

893
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:11,119
him in Buffalo for a cup of coffee. And when

894
00:41:11,159 --> 00:41:13,360
when you hired him, I was like, man, I don't

895
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,960
want to say that this was an amazing hire because

896
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,159
he instantly brings experience, but just motivation to guess, so

897
00:41:20,199 --> 00:41:22,119
how he how has he been around the facility?

898
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 8: Man, he's He's the One thing that's very very impressive

899
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:32,960
about Williams is how proactive he is attacking things that

900
00:41:33,039 --> 00:41:36,199
he might not necessarily know and sometimes is you know,

901
00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:38,519
a college coach has been doing it a while. You

902
00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:41,199
take Brandon and I'm talking about the little things like

903
00:41:41,519 --> 00:41:44,039
how to do an expense report for recruiting or even

904
00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:47,039
you know, how you go about booking your flight, and man,

905
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:49,840
that dude is he's very He's really self sufficient. He

906
00:41:50,199 --> 00:41:52,559
figures stuff out on his own very very quickly.

907
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 9: He's very smart.

908
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,159
Speaker 8: And again, man, when you've had a guy that's played

909
00:41:56,159 --> 00:41:58,400
thirteen years, been an All pro as an All American

910
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,880
at the school year. I think he and credibility with

911
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,920
our guys, and I think it's actually even improved throughout

912
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,840
the spring as they've gotten to know them because he

913
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,719
coaches them, you know, hard, but he loves them just

914
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,400
as hard and we'll do anything for him. And I

915
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,280
think those guys realize that pretty quickly in the process.

916
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,559
Speaker 3: All right, coach last one, we had you on a

917
00:42:18,559 --> 00:42:20,400
couple of weeks ago. You said that it felt like

918
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:24,000
Perk and Witt we're both progressing exactly where they needed

919
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,519
to be to start training camp. Does it feel the

920
00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:28,599
same way good to go as we hit the ground

921
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:29,119
running here?

922
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,199
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, both guys are fully cleared. And you know,

923
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,079
the one thing I've talked to both of them about

924
00:42:35,199 --> 00:42:37,559
is we're obviously going to be smart with them and

925
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:40,000
fall camp, and they can't be too big of a

926
00:42:40,039 --> 00:42:43,440
meathead where you know, like, no, coach, I'm good, I'm good,

927
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,119
I'm good, and you're really not. So something you know

928
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:50,559
when you talk about kind of position group wise, like

929
00:42:50,599 --> 00:42:53,599
who I'm going to be making sure I'm paying attention to, definitely,

930
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,559
and it helps to have an experience with both those

931
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:58,800
guys with making sure that they look crisp, and with

932
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:04,440
today's technology and everything, and with GPS is we can

933
00:43:04,519 --> 00:43:07,679
find out very very quickly from a from a analytical

934
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,760
standpoint as well. But no, right now, you know, uh,

935
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:16,400
they've had outstanding summers. Both are moving at full speed.

936
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,400
And again we're smart with the volume, especially early on

937
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:19,840
with them.

938
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, they have GPS's on them. When we were

939
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,840
all playing college football, we had to print off map

940
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,559
quest to go from place to place. Quite quite the different,

941
00:43:29,639 --> 00:43:31,480
quite the different times there. Hey, Blake, you're the man.

942
00:43:31,519 --> 00:43:33,559
We appreciate it. I know you got like literally days

943
00:43:33,559 --> 00:43:36,719
before you really get into you know, shutting the door,

944
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,199
throwing away the key football mode. So we appreciate giving

945
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,000
us a couple of minutes.

946
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:42,639
Speaker 8: I appreciate y'all having me. Man. I always good at talk.

947
00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:43,320
We'll talk soon.

948
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,119
Speaker 3: All right, there he is LSU defense coordinator Blake Baker.

949
00:43:46,159 --> 00:43:49,199

950
00:43:49,199 --> 00:43:52,000

Speaker 2: Do they have more than one album?

987
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 5: Yes, they have two and actually no, they have more

988
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,559
than two, but they have two really good ones.

989
00:45:44,639 --> 00:45:47,039
Speaker 3: Yeah they were brothers.

990
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 2: All right.

991
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,760
