Speaker 1: All Star Toyoda presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and Science gets denied to come

from the Raisin Kine Studio.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in OTV Hour number two here
live from the Raising Kane Studio. Get OTB mailback coming
up in about fifteen minutes from now, So go ahead
and get those questions inside to buy you forward chat.
But here I'm going to go back to Taita with
a little LSU football injury report.
Speaker 4: Yeah, interim coach Frank Wilson met with the media yesterday and.
Speaker 5: He had two pretty significant injuries.
Speaker 2: So we know about wit weeks.
Speaker 4: You know, he's still battling that ankle injuries, missed past
two games. He's questionable. It says he is like a
full game time decision. He said, we'll get him out
there actually today see what he can do, kind of
measure where he's at and it's kind of a pain
tolerance thing for him at this point. But then he
also mentioned Curious Kern, who if you remember, got hurt
late in that game against Texas A and m he
said he's questionable as well. He did participate in a
walk through that they did on Sunday. He said they're
hopeful with him, but they are taking it day by day. Obviously,
you know Kern huge need right now. With Tyree Adams
still out. He stuffled that anchor spring against Vanderbilt. So
if Kern's not in it, he said, it looks like
DJ chester left tackle, but they could move pieces around
if they need to.
Speaker 6: M H.
Speaker 3: All right, So you got to play the hand yourd
Dell take the wet Weeks piece first, obviously, like you
just desperately need him back in the middle of your defense.
He is he's not only your best player, I mean
he's he's the guy that brings the juice.
Speaker 6: He's the guy that is.
Speaker 3: Your emotional leader out Yeah, and he kind of solidifies
so many different things for you, makes you know, make
sure everybody's lined up with.
Speaker 6: All those things.
Speaker 3: He's all those things, and you know this was kind
of his target date to try to get back, and
so you hope that he's responding to the rehab. You
hope that he's able to give you something, and if
he's not, it's going to be tough. It is going
to be tough. We've seen what it looks like without
him in the middle of your defense. It's not you know,
it's not like you're just missing guy. You're missing all
American linebacker in the middle of your defense. You know,
going against the top five team in the country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not just going to replace that.
Speaker 7: Now when we do, when people do have to step in,
they've proven like the defense doesn't like fall off like tremendously.
Of course, we had a bad game against A and M.
But what he brings is that emotional He's a spiritual,
emotional leader that defense, arguably the entire team.
Speaker 2: And when he's out there, there's a different feel too, right.
Speaker 7: We saw him at the A and M game trying
to get everybody hyped up and energize and excited. On
the sideline. It just hits a little bit different when
you got sweatpants on right of the football pads, you
know what I mean. It just it doesn't hit the
same and it can't. So it would be a huge boost.
I mean, even if even if he can get out
there fifty percent of the snap something like that, just
get him out on the field a little bit, just
to change the emotions, the feel of that game, the
energy levels. Even if he can't play one hundred percent
of the snaps like he normally would, I can't he
play in some capacity? Can he be in the pads
in some capacity to get that emotion emotional response back
because he is undoubtedly that leader and that vocal leader
on the defense and a team that like when when
they're when they're clicking a defense, when they're clicking there,
they can be electric, they can be explosive, they can
be playmaking, they can be disruptive, they can be confusing,
they can fly around. But if they don't play with
that hundred percent hair on fire energy that I believe
with Weeks is a big part of bringing to everybody
all eleven out on the field, then they're not as
good of a defense. So I think if you can
get him like emotionally, if you can get him out
there even a little bit, even if he's not one
hundred percent full go, I think it would be a big,
big boost to your defense.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's something that.
Speaker 3: It's just been glaring, you know, just the attention to
detail because you've got some guys playing their butts off
in the back end. Yeah, Yeah, have really you know,
they've defense, they've saved last couple of weeks, They've.
Speaker 2: Made up for a lot of deficiency.
Speaker 6: I mean A J.
Speaker 3: Halsey is like, gosh, I think it was like thirty
eight tackles the last three games and something like that.
That now, like he's doing everything you can, but also
you don't want your safety to have thirty eight tackles
yep in three games and he's getting to the second level.
Speaker 7: But he's he's stopping touchdowns from the far hash on
the sideline and like hitting these guys and they're flying
five yards out of bound, right, I find one hundred
percent like if we can get everybody playing at that level,
and I'm not saying they're not, of course, like it's
gonna look different when he's running, but he's.
Speaker 3: Also he's given the effort. But he's also in the
right spot. Yeah, he's doing what you're also like supposed
to be doing. You're not getting that at everything.
Speaker 2: He's doing his job to the fullest.
Speaker 7: Yes, plus other people like yeah, plus he's making up
for other deficiencies.
Speaker 2: Which is what good safeties do.
Speaker 7: That's your job as a safety is to kind of
make up the difference.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine what it'd be like if your linebacker
was in the right spot.
Speaker 2: Imagine would it be like if you did be.
Speaker 6: A whole lot cooler. So like that's what we're talking about,
is like, it's not even an effort. Some of it is.
Actually I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
Speaker 2: Some of it is a lot of it's effort.
Speaker 3: We last, yeah, and then we put it out there, and
we put it, put it on the website.
Speaker 6: You can check that out. Luisasports done that.
Speaker 3: But it's that and then also trying to do somebody
else's job before you do your job. When we say
Halsey's doing somebody else's job, he's doing his job, and
then after he does his job and it hits the fan,
then he goes and covers up for somebody else. That's
a big difference between you trying to do somebody else's
job before you take care of your job.
Speaker 7: And he's doing it pretty damn well, and they all
are that hole back in the hold back in the
secondary is doing a really good job. So I just think,
you know, if wit Weeks comes back, I think you
get a little bit of extra buzz, a little back spark,
not that you really need it. You got the interim
coach bump this week. You just got embarrassed at home.
And we've been in that building. We have seen like
the energy and it's it seemed like there was a
team that was together despite the the outside crazy noise
that has never been seen before. Like that crazy noise
outside of that building that happened last week. It seemed
like there was calm waters within that building.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So not that they need a wit weeks to be
out there to.
Speaker 7: Get their motors running at one hundred percent, get their
emotions high, because I think it's going to be to
that level. I mean, but everybody can be like that
at the beginning of the game. It's it's what the week.
The wit weeks and the leaders and things like that,
those really come to shine in the second half when
games are on the line. That that initial emotion, emotional
rush that you get at the end of the game,
once that wears off off, that adrenaline rush wears off,
then you really get to see where this team is standing.
Speaker 3: All right, So for the offensive line portion of it,
it's not great.
Speaker 6: It's not great.
Speaker 3: Now it wasn't It's okay, it wasn't fantastic before. I'm
not trying to be funny, just they've they've struggled. It's
been the unit that struggled probably more than any other
on your team. And those injury updates don't sound great.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: You have got to find the five guys that just
find a way to work. And you have to run
the football, because how are you going to get an
offensive lineman settled in in an atmosphere like Alabama against
a good team. It's running the football, getting them some confidence,
allowing them to be aggressive and not passive. You have
to try to establish a run and now I do
think with Frank Wilson as your head coach, it is
going to be priority number one. But that's how you
get a young player I like, even hell, even for
like a fullback like I wanted. Let's hey, let's run
giant power real quick before I've got to pass. Protect
this three to four edge rusher. Let me pop the
pads a little bit and then let's go to that.
So I understand that part of it. It has to
be the thing that you get done. It has to
be the thing that you do the best. In this
game against Alabama, I think if you want to win
because that helps out a struggling offensive line, a offensive
line that has not been together very often. You've got
guys playing out of position. And although Alabama's defensive line
is not what it once was, it's still certainly good
enough to get after you and put your quarterback on
the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was watching film yesterday, and we'll get into more
film tomorrow and tomorrow and Thursday, we'll get into a
lot of some of the film studies, some of the
things we're seeing. But I watched yesterday. I watched the
Tennessee game and a lot and let me tell you
a lot of good things from Alabama, a lot of
really good things. I watched their defense. I don't think
they're great at any one thing. I think they're just good,
solid sound defense from top to bottom, all three levels there.
I don't think they're they don't have they don't strike
a big fear factor in the pass rush standpoint number
forty two for them. I think Janza Pierre, I believe
is his name defensive end. I think he might be
listed as a linebacker, but plays defensive end. He is
their best pass rusher and he's got four sacks on
the year, so that I think is tied for like
seventeenth or sixteenth, like tied with like ten or fifteen
other people in the SEC. So they don't have this
just kick ass pass rusher that you have to fear.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 7: He is a good player, yeah, and he plays with
a high motor and he can be disruptive, but he
just hasn't gotten home a lot.
Speaker 2: He's come on in the last couple of games.
Speaker 7: I think I think he might have had two sacks
against Tennessee. I believe so that half of the sacks
game in one game.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 7: So they don't have like this one. So that's one
bright spot for us. Yeah, our offensive line room hasn't
been great in pass protection all around, but I also
believe that they hadn't been put in a position to
be the best offensive line they can be in the
running game. They certainly haven't. And when they have, which
is last game, the first half did it pretty damn good. Yeah,
Harlan Berry averaged seven yards a run in the first
half and got one carry in.
Speaker 3: The second too. He did too well in the first half.
They're like, we can't do more of that.
Speaker 7: You know what they call that, You got to go
away from They call that a fireable offenseche.
Speaker 2: So like, I don't believe the offense.
Speaker 7: Of course, there's been some like some normal pass protections
where things are broken down, and that's fine. That happens everywhere.
You see it at every level of football. But you
also see teams in the NFL and college that have
to play true freshmen tackles and they have to move
things around. Do you think we're the first team to
ever have an offensive line injury, No, we're not. People
plug it in and they find ways to game plan
around it. They find ways to like to create play
calls around it. A whole team comes together and doesn't
make little mistakes to put you behind the sticks. There's
ways to make up for it. And so I get it.
The offensive line hasn't been great, but I do not
believe they've been put in position to be great yet
or to even be good.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 7: So if we can do that, that's a big if.
Capital if I get it, that is a big if.
If we can do that, if you can put them
in position, which we've seen periods of time where they've
been good at run blocking, but it's hard to be
good at run blocking when you got to pass set
because you might throw an RPO behind it hard to
be good, right, If, yeah, now we've seen no.
Speaker 3: I had to do that, it'd be it'd be very
difficult for me because I needed every ounce of momentum
going forward. Yep, that I possibly could happen. And you
got to make up and the and the other guys
around you have to make up for. Yeah, we've seen
tackles throw no hitters on defensive ends. We've seen guards
lunch too far and throw no hitter on defensive tackle.
Speaker 7: I got it. You see that in every single team
does that every single game? Yeah, look at the NFL.
You got Pro Bowl tackles that throw no hitters. But
other guys make up for it. Right the quarterback sees it,
gets rid of the ball, throws it away, scrambles gets
out of the pocket.
Speaker 2: You see it all the time.
Speaker 7: How many times did I have offensive linemen come up
to Aaron Rodgers after gaving like that, thank the Lord,
thank thank you for getting it out or scrambled because
like I threw like that was terrible.
Speaker 2: That was the worst game I ever played that I
didn't give up a sack. You know what I mean?
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, that type of situation. There's ways to make
up for it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: I'm just telling you. They haven't been put in a position.
So I believe that this you can do it. This
offensive line can do it. They can do enough to
beat Alabama. Yeah, I just don't Nothing in Alabama's defense
strikes fear in my heart.
Speaker 3: As you were saying that, I was sitting there thinking,
does it count as giving up a sack if you're kind.
Speaker 6: Of the one that sacks the quarterback?
Speaker 2: Did you get a sack?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Do I get a sack? Because I gave up one
in the NFL and it was really Tamba Ali.
Speaker 6: It's crazy. My cleats turned into heales all of a sudden.
That's a weird sack filler.
Speaker 2: It was a grass, bad grass.
Speaker 6: Though. I should know if I do I get a
half a sack at least, how'd that work? Yeah?
Speaker 3: But I agree with everything he said. You gotta put
them in a better position. You have to establish the
run game. You've got a young running back right now
that's seeing it as well as anybody, truly, Like you
watch the tape, you watch the end zone copy. His
vision's been incredible, as patience has been incredible. He is
ready to burst onto the scene in a big way.
This could be the game. Help your young guys out.
And I'm not just saying just like old school lineup,
hit your head against the brick wall type run stuff.
Speaker 6: Be creative in the run game.
Speaker 3: Throw different looks at him, be gap scheme, be inside
outside zone, whatever it might be. Hell, throw a toss
crack in there. You haven't done a single toss crack
this year at all. It's okay to be diverse in
the run game. If I pulled up the top fifteen
teams in the run game in the country, it would
not just be inside zone sixty percent of the time.
It would be seriously like spread out amongst like four
five different runs. That's what the best run teams in
the country do outside of the service academies. But even
the service academies will have different variations of what they do.
Speaker 6: Don't be predictable, spread it out and have some runs.
Speaker 3: You just say, it's okay to be diverse crazy in
the running game. Razy, it's crazy. I'll pull up it
is your mother with that mouth. I'll pull up an
example a little bit later on of what I'm talking about.

Speaker 8: What the is the internet.
Speaker 6: Hashtag go to b melbag.
Speaker 3: If save him were to actually come back to coach
at LASHU, how do you think.
Speaker 6: That would play out? I don't know.
Speaker 3: If y'all saw the video of him celebrating his birthday,
he was watching the Chiefs and Bills game from this weekend.
He was in his recliner with a throw blanket you know,
over him, like looked like he was fully fully retired
and they're saying happy birthday to him, and he's like
looking at the TV the whole time.
Speaker 5: He was like, sit up, and he sat up so fast.
Speaker 6: I love.
Speaker 5: That was my favorite part of the video.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen a video of
a man more retired.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They even asked him about it on game day and
they were like, hey, you know, is there any interest.
He's like, guys, I'm the player now, y'all are coaching
me how to do this on the desk.
Speaker 5: He's like, I'm good where I'm at.
Speaker 6: I just didn't think.
Speaker 7: People were actually serious about that, but I guess they were.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that man is retired.
Speaker 7: I just don't think it would go the greatest coach
of all time, Yeah, no, I'm not no doubt, but
I don't think it would go as well as people
think it would because it would be a solely I
mean not solely Okay, this isn't soly, but like he
would come out of retirement if he's game, if the money.
Speaker 2: Was right, right. He he loves l s U.
Speaker 7: I think there's only one job he would do that for,
take the money for. But like, I don't know, I
just I don't think. Maybe it would, but he's the
greatest coach of all time or none. But I don't
know if it would go quite as well as people.
Speaker 3: I don't think so because the reason why he retired
is because of how much the landscape.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I think he could probably do it, but I think Ali,
to your point, I don't think he wants to do it, right,
I don't think it intrigued.
Speaker 7: He would, like he's the greatest of all time if
he is wants to wants to do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he won't have championship.
Speaker 6: That was a man that was retired.
Speaker 5: He was so comfy.
Speaker 4: He would he would have to win a championship quickly
for it to be a success. Like he's seventy four,
what does he realistically do three to four year deal?
Speaker 2: Right, he does have to win one?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean he just he left Alabama after
like losing Nasteral Championship because his players kept wanting to
get more money and more money and more money. Right,
So it's like, does he want to jump back into that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Maybe it's a and I've heard the rumor, like, oh,
I heard that they offered saving to come coach for
two or three years and be the a d after that,
just like reset the culture and then be the idea.
I don't does he want to do that? Guy's got
to throw Blake got a quilt on.
Speaker 3: I think we're actually entertaining the Nick Sabing idea.
Speaker 5: You're delusional.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like and then hey, looking if I'm with the laundra,
but if somehow, some way it happened, then you get
to be excited again.
Speaker 5: Right, true?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so yeah, I mean he's it's a splash. Yeah
it certainly, maybe it would be great, but like, you know,
I love that man. He's the reason I came down. Reason,
he's the reason that we're in these chairs right now,
no doubt about it.

don't get me wrong, give me a honey hand.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: No, Turkey is a requirement, certainly, but it's objectively it's
not the greatest. No, it's just kind of a blend. Yeah,
it's not even the greatest pultry.

which one? Which one do you want?
Speaker 2: Do you want?
Speaker 7: You want mashed potatoes dressing or such a I'm like, well,

be upset about? So not somebody you'd want, but somebody
that's realistic that you would if they hired James Franklin.
Speaker 6: I'm turning in my headset.
Speaker 5: That what I was, But I.
Speaker 6: Define realistic. Yeah, and this is nothing against James Franklin.
I think he's a good football coach.
Speaker 3: You're getting the same thing that you just got, which
again can work in places.
Speaker 6: This is not one of the places.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one. This might be a hot take.
Speaker 6: Realistic.
Speaker 7: He's the leading candidate on the Vegas odds that Joe Brady.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't want Joe Brady.
Speaker 2: I don't he would do. I think I would be
disappointed to laugh.
Speaker 4: It was always like he just wants to call plays.
He doesn't want to recruit, he doesn't want to do
any of that.
Speaker 2: Right, that's still the case. Then, Yeah, that's all like
plus two hundred or something that we saw.
Speaker 6: It's like the leader.
Speaker 5: How that's dumb that he's leading the odds.
Speaker 7: So that one, I guess that's the o TV stands as.
We'd be disappointed if, like the odds on favorite is the.
Speaker 5: I know, I know y'all are different. I love him.
Speaker 4: I feel the same way Joe Brady or Kelvin Sheppard.
I'm the same way with both of them. I really am, Like,
I love she I need somebody who's at least been
a head coach and something.
Speaker 5: It's just me personally.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think chef much better, much better than than
Joe Brady set up for just because of where college
football is going, how he could connect with the players,
him having a true passion for l s U. Not
a pit stop on his way to his next stepping
stone job. This is in this stepping stone job. This
is a destination. Let me end my career if I
can their type job.
Speaker 6: So I don't. I don't put those anywhere close to
the same.
Speaker 2: I don't put them anywhere on the same at all.
Speaker 7: Besides the fact that neither one of them have been
a head coach, I don't think that if you got
like the right stuff and the right juice behind you.
Kelvin's one of those guys. It's like he's never written
a speech down. Yeah, he might hit like three words
of talking points, But Joe Brady seems like the guy
that's writing the whole speech down.
Speaker 6: Yeah he does.
Speaker 7: Not that I would have, And I get it, like
that's I'm not a talker like Kevin Shevard either, And
that's not a knock on anybody, but like, uh, you
talk about a leader of man, a guy that can
like your the connectability, the emotional connection that he can
good good. So I no, not in the same level, respectfully, Yeah,
I agree.
Speaker 6: I agree.
Speaker 3: Uh, you could get hey chev maybe disrespectfully we disrespectfully
disagree with that. Yeah, hey Ship, give me five give
me give me five minutes. Come talk to the team.
He's ready to go. There's no notes, there's no tele price,
he's just ready nothing, ready to go.
Speaker 6: All right? Hashtag go to be mailbag?
Speaker 3: Can I get Flynn to sign my Hester jersey that
I got from Pro Dreams a few weeks ago? If so,
what's the easiest for you all to make that happen.
Spring it to the studio or the station, drop it
off at the front.
Speaker 2: Jersey. I'm gonna put some stuff that's a little N
S f W on it.
Speaker 6: It's fine. I think he probably appreciate that.
Speaker 5: I'll make sure he signs up. You gotta pay me
fifty bucks to do.
Speaker 2: It, and that's it.
Speaker 7: You ever seen that video of Tom Brady signing autograss
signing all his jerseys, and all of a sudden that
would you I would sign it like that.
Speaker 3: Uh, let's see, nobody mentioned carrots who flay for Thanksgiving favorite.
I put that in sweet potata cast in the same category.
I do prefer carrots who flay over sweet potato cast role.
Speaker 6: They're pretty much the same thing, but they are. They
have to. It's different enough.
Speaker 3: When I go to Piccadilly, the carrots who flay hates
to see me coming.
Speaker 6: I'm just letting you know. Yeah, I'm right there with you.
Don't worry.
Speaker 3: I take here. I don't like sweet potatoes. I knew
when you didn't say anything.

one of the quotes and I'm gonna pull it up,
make sure I've got it right here from Frank Wilson yesterday.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: They want to practice more game like situations because Blake Baker,
the defensive coordinator, is asking for a more realistic look
in practices that are going to translate better to the games.
Speaker 7: That is that's troubling. Gosh, that's troubling when I heard.
Speaker 6: It, and I could feel Blake's pain as soon as
I heard it. This is oof.
Speaker 3: It's troublesome because Matt and I went out to a
practice and we saw it.
Speaker 6: And we weren't trying to be funny. We weren't trying
the kid like.
Speaker 3: We went to the practice and it felt like and
we brought up, you know, our sons and we were
getting set up or whatever and kind of finding a
spot for them to watch practice, and it was like
just go.
Speaker 7: Down with like the niceties with the staff saying hi
to everybody.
Speaker 6: Right, Marucci watched practice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they blow the horn like, oh, it's training camp.
They're going to get them all up and be like, hey,
we need this intensity today.
Speaker 6: We've got to do this. We got to really hone
in on this.
Speaker 3: And then they started to like break it down and
go into their position groups and start to take the
tape off their wrist, and I'm like, wait, they're done,
They're done done. And then people that we know around
the program, that have been around the program, they saw
the look on our face and like, yeah, like that's
that hour.
Speaker 6: And so that's not surprising to hear that.
Speaker 3: And if you're Blake Baker and you're trying to get
ready for whatever, but certainly a team that's going to
try to run the football, you gotta work on your
gap integrity. You gotta work gone to gapping things. You
got to work on inside shoulders. Take this on outside
shoulders free. I got can say like you got to
work on those things. And in that quote, that is
somebody that feels like they were frustrated because they weren't
given that opportunity and they had to do it, probably
by getting the backup defense to come over and do
it for the first team defense and probably more of
like a walk through pace, so like a full go
of it that that like that can't happen like I'm
not saying you turn it back to the junction boys,
but that can't happen.
Speaker 7: When you're talking about training camp, Like, this isn't midweek, right,
this isn't game what you.
Speaker 3: Should You should still do that during the midweek to
some extent, but this was this training camps, training camp,
getting ready for this, getting ready for a Clemson team,
right that had a running quarterback.
Speaker 7: And this was like a wasn't it a Saturday. There's
a Saturday in training camp. So it's not like a
traditional day where you'd have like a light work day
or a pull back like a rest and recovery type day.
It was a Saturday in training camp like usually those
are some ball busting days. It's a Gada day. Get
after that ace yeah day. Yeah, and say that's shorty
for you can say, well, I'm up one nothing talk
like you know, regular human stuck it and it wasn't that.
And you know what I heard Blake Baker say. Well,
I heard Blake Baker say right there without saying it
via Frank Wilson.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 7: I heard him say that our offense hasn't been able
to show us enough in the running game, even when
we go good versus good and practice even we go
one versus ones, like how much is an inside zone
or an RPO? Going to really let my defense work
on their fits, work on their hat placements, work on
their hand placements, working on getting off a block. We're
gonna getting pop getting double team getting seeing a hard pool.
How we're not seeing that and we're not seeing it
at least we're not seeing it at full speed, full
go capacity, Like I'm sure they're getting it from the
scout team, because of course the scout team is gonna
go and they're gonna run counters, they're gonna run power,
they're gonna run all the things that our offense probably
hasn't been doing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you need it, good on good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you said a couple of segments ago, like
you're allowed to as an offense. You were allowed to
show creativity in the running game. You were allowed to
show diversity in a running game, and we just haven't
done it to a certain extent. Sure, a couple of
games ago, we ran four counters, all right, cool son
running power, soun running power, four counters. I mean, I
hate to say it's not a lot.
Speaker 3: So we're in November and LSU football hasn't run a Power.
Louisiana State University has not run a power.
Speaker 7: If Frank was the like indiar himself though tv fla
first play the game first Power, first place, twenty one personnel.
We have twenty one personel but installed. You can imagine
if we did.
Speaker 2: Anyway. That's what I heard.
Speaker 7: I said we have we haven't got I heard Blake
say we haven't gotten the looks, we haven't got the intensity.
We hadn't got the work from a physicality standpoint, and
we're still really good on defense.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've had a couple of bad games, we've had
some bad moments, whatever, but think of how good we
could be. We just practiced the way you're a little
bit normal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 7: Were And we are making a like a wide judgment
on that one practice. We didn't see every practice I saw.
I saw others that were pretty similar. I saw others.
The response from people that we did know there that
was like, yeah, that's kind of you know.
Speaker 6: They knew what they knew.
Speaker 3: They on our faces that we were going to question it.
It's the first thing that like six people said to.
Speaker 7: Us, And you can say it's, you know, the new
way of doing things NFL style type practices.
Speaker 2: Go to Saints practice longer than that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, I've never had an NFL training camp
like there's and again, entering camp, there is days where
it's like a lighter work day, it's a poolback day,
it's a you know, we're gonna go hour and a
half instead of two, two and a half. Whatever it is. Yeah,
and that there's live periods involved in that. I don't know,
it's interesting.
Speaker 3: I think I find it very interesting because you could
tell that was like, hey, well, wheneverything happens Blake. Blake
probably went in there, Hey, hey, can we practice normal now?
Like can we do that? Like can we be physical
for a period or two? Can we have good on good? Hell,
it can be half line it doesn't even have to
be the full like we get half line work in today.
Speaker 6: Can that be something we do? Well, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I know you'll take what I mean.
Speaker 7: It makes sense at a football team that has to
go full speed on Saturdays in the SEC would do something.
I do that a little bit, and I guess they
probably have, Like we have to preface this with it,
like we never we didn't see every period of every
training camp. So we're making some generalities here, but they
told you all you needed to tell you yesterday when
Frank said, Hey, we need to we need we need
a better work. We need to get some intensity, we
need to get some paths popping right, we need to
play a little bit more game speed because we hadn't
got it. And I can tell you based on the
running game at LSU and the lack of lack of
diversity in that running game, that they hadn't seen a
lot of looks. They hadn't seen the looks that they
got it. Vanderbilt, Nope, because Vanderbilt does everything, and they
do everything pretty well, every type of running play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna when we come back, I'm going to
give you the top rushing team in the country that's
not a service academy because Navy, air Force, and Army
are three of the top four. I'm going to give
you the non service academy option team, and we're going
to break down what the diversity of their run game
looks like when we come back here on o TV.
Speaker 6: Off the Bench a ight, go to Central Plumbing dot org.
Speaker 3: Central Plumbing dot Org is the website for Central Plumbing.

Speaker 1: From the locker room to the airwaves gets off the
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 6: All right, welcome back again, OTB.
Speaker 3: So, when you look at the top rushing teams in
the country as far as yards per game, top five
is Navy Air Force Utah Army in Indiana or sorry,
Jacksonville State's actually a head of Indiana Indiana six.
Speaker 6: So let's look up Utah.
Speaker 3: They run it for two hundred and sixty seven yards
per game. Let's look at the diversity of that run
game outside zone five percent of the time, inside zone
twenty three percent of the time, duo ten percent of
the time, power thirty two percent of the time, counter
nineteen percent of the time.
Speaker 6: And then you got little draw here, pull lead here.
Speaker 3: But it is inside zone, it's duo, its power, its
counter spread right diverse more than one look, and one
of the best rushing teams in the country. Because guess what,
you don't know what's gonna come.
Speaker 7: You're crazy, You're crazy, man.
Speaker 3: So the top rushing team again outside of the Service academies,
has run power one hundred and twenty times of three
hundred and seventy seven run plays and Louisiana State University
doesn't have one. Not a true natural lineup. Give the
running back the ball with a pulling guard power.
Speaker 2: Got an opportunity this week. Run as many powers as
you want.
Speaker 6: You could always do it, but yes, you also have
that opportunity this week.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 7: We have implemented the counter in the last couple of weeks,
which is a pulling guard plus a pulling tight end.
Speaker 3: Usually you know what and Utah shows you you can
run both. Everyone one hundred and twenty of one and
sixty eight of the other. It's crazy, look greedy.
Speaker 6: We'll be back off the bench.
