Which have did I did I 19 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:36,359 talk about baking the rou here yet? 20 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: I finally did? 21 00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 6: Okay, First off, I think it's the best gump I've 22 00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,959 ever made. My neighbor Blake, who is a man who 23 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,239 is very honest in his opinions and whose opinions I 24 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:54,359 trust deeply because of said honesty. He's highly critical. Even 25 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,439 he said it was some of the best he ever had, 26 00:01:56,439 --> 00:01:59,000 so that meant a lot to me. But guys, I 27 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,079 cannot stress enough of how easy baking the root was. 28 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,439 Speaker 3: It is such a game changer. 29 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,159 Speaker 6: And if you're someone like me, I was a bit 30 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,799 worried because, like, I like cooking a root, right, it's fun. 31 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,000 You babysit it. It's you drink beer. I will never probably, 32 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,039 I don't think i'll ever do. I'll never do any 33 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,319 any other way again. You get you like a lookrossette pot, 34 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,280 you'll cast iron pot. 35 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 3: What's it called? 36 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,479 Speaker 6: When it's like cast iron? We got the enamel kind 37 00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:22,960 of finished. I don't know, it doesn't matter. Maybe that's 38 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,360 what it is. But whatever you put in there. For me, 39 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:28,800 it's this three force cup of olive O three force 40 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,719 cup of flour mix up. You you bake it at 41 00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:35,080 three fifty and guys, you stir it. It was a 42 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,439 little paranoids. I think I did it every like twenty minutes, 43 00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:39,319 fifteen twenty minutes. But I mean, you can probably pish 44 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,680 a thirty in about two and a half hours. You 45 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,719 have a perfect roof because it's not that flame source. 46 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:47,800 It cooks evenly throughout, so it doesn't need as much 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,840 movie because it's not burning. And I mean, it's it 48 00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:52,520 so you can chop all your veggies, do whatever else 49 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,840 you need to do around the house, and you just 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,240 set you a little time and every now and then 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,159 you go in there, move it around, put it back. 52 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:04,560 It is a game changer, and it's perfectly evenly cooked throughout, 53 00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:08,879 uh throughout, you know, and throughout its retiret so cannot 54 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:12,599 recommend enough. Shout out to Chef Johnson for him. Now, 55 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,280 my neighbor was telling me a dry room. Though you 56 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:16,319 ever heard of a dry room? 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,479 Speaker 5: I have not. 58 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: I didn't know this, so basically. 59 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 6: I don't think so because basically I think you're just 60 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,960 and I could be wrong here. Maybe you can ask 61 00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,639 chef about this, but I think you're like basically just 62 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,680 browning the flower too. 63 00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:33,039 Speaker 3: Then if you need like and then you can save it. 64 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,759 Speaker 6: And if you want kind of like an instant room, 65 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:37,639 you just add oil, which is interesting to me. 66 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,639 Speaker 3: I've never tried it before. 67 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,879 Speaker 6: I have tried, for sure, But but again, guys, baking 68 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:45,840 the absolute game changer and so easy Taylor. 69 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 7: Could do you know, I to my mom, I'm pretty 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,199 bad in the kitchen.

Then quote, 115 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:57,360 I'm talking about these experts on TV who nobody remembers 116 00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:00,240 what they did in their career, So in order for 117 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,000 them to stay relevant, they have to make comments that 118 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,199 keep them going in the conversation. That wasn't going on 119 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,439 in O eight oh nine Sports Center. My youth, those 120 00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,160 guys made highlights so much fun, and that's what they 121 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:16,360 showed on Sports Center.

They're the stars just being able 124 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,360 to talk about sports or given take about sports, many 125 00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,959 which are unfounded or assinine as we all know. 126 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,319 Speaker 3: But that's the environment we're in now. 127 00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:35,319 Speaker 6: I mean, am I crazy or is that a distinct 128 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:36,800 lack of self awareness? 129 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 5: Well, that's what Aaron. 130 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,399 Speaker 7: Rodgers continually makes comments to stay relevant. It's certainly not 131 00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:44,920 his one field performance that's keep it his ass relevant. 132 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,079 Speaker 3: So it's literally exactly what he's doing. 133 00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:50,399 Speaker 7: Let me go out here and have something else controversial 134 00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:52,040 so my name can stay in the news cycle. It's 135 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,800 not gonna be on the win lost column because we're 136 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,560 too ten. But we don't care about. 137 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 6: That particular, no big deal at all, because again it's 138 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,360 not like it's whatever. But like I just thought that 139 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:07,079 was deeply, deeply I guess maybe ironic hypocritical funny that 140 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,120 yeah sence sounds like he's describing himself even down to 141 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,319 the eight oh nine. Wasn't the Aaron Rodgers super Bowl 142 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:13,000 in lego nine? 143 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, twenty ten season, so February of eleven should never. 144 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,759 Speaker 6: Forget Aaron Rodgers stole the MVP from Drew Brees. That's 145 00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:22,360 why toy's Achilles karma? 146 00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:24,399 Speaker 3: All right, who's up? 147 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: Neck? 148 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,879 Speaker 7: And CIA President Charlie Baker is apparently bullish on the 149 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,759 possibility of the NCAA March Madness Basketball tournament expanding from 150 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,360 their current sixty eighteen model to a seventy two or 151 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,959 seventy sixteen. 152 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,279 Speaker 5: Model in the near future. Big deal or new big deal. 153 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 6: Uh, I'm not the best to ask because I don't 154 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,920 love or know a ton about college basketball. I like 155 00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:52,079 March Madness fine, but I know there are people that 156 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,519 like it. It's an infinitely larger degree. So I feel 157 00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:57,800 like I'm kind of bringing an outsider's opinion to this. 158 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,079 Speaker 3: Where where does it end? You know, what are we doing? 159 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: Well? 160 00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 7: They already expanded it a few years ago from sixty 161 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,399 four to sixty eight. 162 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: What I'm saying you. 163 00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:08,319 Speaker 5: Did that first four and Honestly, I don't even like 164 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,079 the first four. Like it's fine, n C. 165 00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:12,199 Speaker 7: When I was in the first four two years ago 166 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,879 and they made a run to the final four, that's excellent. 167 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,360 It happens every now and then.

Jake had to leave 371 00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,839 at eight point thirty to catch his plane. He's going 372 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,799 to be going to the Army Navy Games.

So I'm 382 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:43,480 gonna we're gonna be kind of handling it from this 383 00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:46,480 point forward. But Tebub told me to ask you before 384 00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:49,960 he left about a dry room. He said he had 385 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,599 been hearing a lot about making a dry roo. How 386 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:53,599 does that process work? 387 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, So you bake your flower without the oil, and 388 00:17:57,319 --> 00:18:00,559 it's kind of it's kind of the same. It takes longer, right, 389 00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:02,160 It's kind of like baking a loaf of bread, if 390 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,240 you will, And you put it in the dry fan 391 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,960 cast iron, preferably something that translates heat really well and efficiently, 392 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,359 something that doesn't lose heat easily, and you know, you 393 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,640 bake it, and you bake and and periodically you continuously 394 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,400 stir the flour so that the surface area of the 395 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:26,039 heat source is constantly you know, having new flour to 396 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,920 be browned. It's it's akin to baking a baking a 397 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,079 loaf of bread. But if you can imagine how much 398 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,759 flour internally is in there, you know, you're you're still 399 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:39,960 you're having to move that root around quite a bit 400 00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:43,400 during the baking process. You're you're looking for an evenly 401 00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:48,839 browned flour, which is, you know, it can be done, 402 00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:51,480 but it's so much more efficient with the oil, right, 403 00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:57,000 Like the oil helps transfer the dry heat from the 404 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:01,640 oven into a heat that that is you know, evenly 405 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,319 distributed through the oil, if that makes sense, and that's 406 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,240 going to brown flour a lot more efficiently than air. 407 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 7: So Tea Bob actually was not far off. He said, 408 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,480 he wasn't quite sure what it was. He said, this 409 00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:15,279 were his initial thoughts on it. He was not far 410 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,480 off from uh, from where what you just explained to 411 00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:20,759 have to explain that to him, chef.

I'm not 483 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,920 really a traditional, you know, like cookbook guy. I like 484 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,920 telling the story. But but I think I have to 485 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,640 have enough time to sit down and write to be 486 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,680 able to do that. You know, like I may have 487 00:22:56,759 --> 00:22:58,359 to dictate that while I'm on my feet in the 488 00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:58,839 kitchen to. 489 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,519 Speaker 5: Somebody hashtag bunchies chef. 490 00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 7: If you want an all expenses paid food tasting trip 491 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,440 to anywhere in the world, where would you go? 492 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,519 Speaker 2: Oh? Man, that's tough. It's gonna be man, Oh gosh. 493 00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:19,960 You know, like there's three places that come to mind, Italy, France, 494 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,480 and China, and each one of them is so rich 495 00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:27,640 in their culture of food that you know, I don't know, man, 496 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,440 it's I can flip a coin and be happy with 497 00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:34,759 any of them, right, I think, you know, like China 498 00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:38,240 actually has some of the deeper cooking methodologies that I 499 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,039 just you know, I've never seen and understood, so I 500 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,480 probably believe we would choose that so that I had 501 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,240 experience and exposure to it, because I've had experience in 502 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,279 exposure to French and Italian cooking, but I wouldn't be 503 00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:56,200 disappointed with either France or Italy. And you know, I 504 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,519 I have this, I've never been overseas before, and you know, 505 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:04,359 touring the entire country and experiencing the local ingredients of 506 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,720 each one of those countries, I mean, I can't even 507 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000 have them what that's like. And and then you amplify 508 00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:15,359 that to something the size of China, where it's similar, 509 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,240 you know, like each province that you go to has 510 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,799 has you know, different impact on it. I mean it's 511 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,920 it's akin to the United States. I mean, you're you're 512 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,240 trying to learn something that the culture of of if 513 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,680 you were just from somebody outside of the United States 514 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,799 coming here, I could imagine how overwhelming that would be. 515 00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:35,799 And China is very similar in that nature, like there's 516 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,160 there's you know, microcultures within the culture that that you 517 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,640 can experience and pick up. And I think probably China 518 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,319 would be my number one, Italy my number two, and 519 00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:46,440 then France my number three. 520 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 7: Well, you know, Chef, I was not hungry at the 521 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,119 start of this segment, but I definitely am now someone 522 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,160 asking a question in the chat making a gumbo this weekend? 523 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 5: Can I use lard as the base for my room? 524 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,839 Speaker 2: You can? You know I don't use lard. It's it's 525 00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:08,240 very rich, you know, you definitely can. I'm I myself 526 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,079 am trying to eat a little bit healthier, and that's 527 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,519 that's certainly not taken the dive in the healthier direction. 528 00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:16,200 But you can. It's I mean, it's going to be 529 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,279 super rich, and I'm sure that it tastes good, but 530 00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:21,519 it's not necessarily healthy for you. That's for sure. 531 00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 5: Cheap. 532 00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 7: Before I get you out of here, one more for you, 533 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,039 and this is from me, so me and t bub 534 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:29,599 we're talking right before you laughed. I am awful in 535 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,319 the kitchen. I mean, everything I make somehow turns out wrong. 536 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,799 You know, I'll follow the recipe to a tea, it 537 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,880 just doesn't come out quite like I wanted to if 538 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,880 I wanted to, Like, let's say I wanted to make 539 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,960 a fancy dish for my wife. That's not that hard 540 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:43,960 to make, what would it be? 541 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I think grilling proteins is something, you know, 542 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,839 like grilling this a steak is something I think anybody 543 00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:55,240 can master it. And and for the for the record, 544 00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:58,559 you know, I think that you have the you have 545 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,240 the capabilities of doing anything in the cases that I can, 546 00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:04,599 And it's just a matter of finding your confidence. I 547 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,039 think some people, uh and myself included, like I hate 548 00:26:08,079 --> 00:26:10,799 recipes because I get into reading the recipe and I 549 00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:13,559 forget my common sense about me right, and I get 550 00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:16,519 so stuck on the on the action of the recipe 551 00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:18,640 and what the what the what the author is telling 552 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,319 me to do that I that I lose my sensibility 553 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,839 of what my common sense is telling me should be 554 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,680 the the process, right, And so you've got to be 555 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,240 willing to step away from that process sometimes that us 556 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,759 is on paper and use use your own instincts to 557 00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:35,920 say this doesn't feel right. I think I should be 558 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,119 doing this, and and and take the ingredients of the 559 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,440 recipe and put them together in your own manner to 560 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,799 where they make sense. And that is what a recipe 561 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:45,319 is all about, right, It's it's what makes sense to you. 562 00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:49,160 So you know, you can take and and in that 563 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,759 case a steak, you know, like season the steak, grill 564 00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:54,960 the steak. You can take some asparagus or brocolini and 565 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,279 seem it very lightly and and and throw it in 566 00:26:57,319 --> 00:26:59,559 a salt hae pan very quick with some butter and 567 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:02,119 saltaine it real quick, and sprinkle some lemon juice and 568 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,240 olive oil on it, and it's fantastic. You know, like 569 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,160 simple foods I think are better. Complicated foods are to 570 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,640 be appreciated. But you know, in my mind, it's the 571 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,759 action of feeding another I think that that's appreciated. And 572 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,599 you can oil potatoes and put them in the oven 573 00:27:19,799 --> 00:27:23,079 and roast them and steam some broccolini and throw it 574 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,799 in a saut pan very quickly, and it'd be one 575 00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:28,480 of the best meals that you've had for her because 576 00:27:28,519 --> 00:27:30,319 it was you making it, you know what I'm saying. 577 00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:32,599 And you don't have to You don't have to complicate 578 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,720 food for it to be appreciated. I don't think. I 579 00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:37,359 think it's the action of cooking for somebody else that 580 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,599 is really love. 581 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 7: You know, all right, Simplicity is the best.

Some important player for 589 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,839 LSU is not included in the first round. 590 00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 5: Mind, it's becoming a trend. 591 00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:02,519 Speaker 7: We'll talk about that on the other side of this 592 00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:10,799 break here on off the bench one of four five ESPN. Okay, 593 00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:12,480 we're not gonna go to break just quite yet. We 594 00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:16,359 do not have alive read here.

As far as returning players, 603 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,960 it was Garrett nus Meyer, which we already have in 604 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,119 the boat, Emery Jones, and Harold Perkins.

I 666 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,720 wanted to look at it in terms of l issues. 667 00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:49,000 So this was put out two days ago by Mike 668 00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:53,319 Renner of CBS Sports Shocker. Mike Renner. First overall, he 669 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,880 has shed Or Sanders to the Raiders. Second overall, he 670 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,559 has cam Ward to the New York Giants. I don't 671 00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:01,079 think anyone is surprised by that. Where it gets interesting 672 00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:06,279 for LSU. Fifth overall, Will Campbell. Campbell's first round value, 673 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,319 it's kind of fluctuated a little bit. We've seen him 674 00:32:08,319 --> 00:32:11,440 as high as you know, top three, top five as 675 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,960 he is here. We've seen him at the back end 676 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,920 of the first round. For what it's worth, if you 677 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,480 want to go look at the New Orleans Saints before 678 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,119 we dive in LSU. They have the Saints with the 679 00:32:19,119 --> 00:32:21,920 tenth overall pick. They have the Saints selecting Will Johnson 680 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,160 out of Michigan. Will Johnson excellent cornerback, six two, two 681 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,319 hundred pounds out of Michigan, probably the top corner in 682 00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:30,319 all of college football. 683 00:32:31,359 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 5: I just don't know how I feel about this. 684 00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:35,119 Speaker 7: I mean, you were able to trade Marshall on Lattimore 685 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,920 because you feel so good about corner right, whether it's Paulson, 686 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,920 adebo A, Lante, Taylor, kool Aid, McKinstry who just spent 687 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,599 a second round pick one last year. 688 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 5: I love Will Johnson. I feel like the. 689 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 7: Saints have a little bit bigger needs there at ten, 690 00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:49,880 But I don't really want to look at that either. 691 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,920 What I want to look at is what prospect is, 692 00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:56,039 once again not in this first round mock draft, and 693 00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:59,119 it's becoming kind of a trend in these first round mocks. 694 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,480 There's no way Imrie Jones. Why is that important? Because 695 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,559 Emrie Jones has another year of eligibility remaining. What does 696 00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:11,079 he do halfway through this season? I figured Will Campbell 697 00:33:11,119 --> 00:33:13,400 and Emery Jones both gone, no question about it. I 698 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,720 thought they were going to be first round picks. Em 699 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,119 Marie Jones, though he's falling down draft boards for one 700 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,200 reason or another. I actually think Emery Jones has had 701 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,759 a very solid season. But if you remember, coming out 702 00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:29,359 of high school, Emery Jones was an interior offensive lineman. 703 00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:32,799 He was projected to play guard on this team. I 704 00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:35,680 remember he came in. It was Kelly's first year. We 705 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,200 had an injury at right tackle. You had to slide 706 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,279 Emery Jones and there in an emergency situation. 707 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,599 Speaker 5: He was excellent. 708 00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 7: He held onto that job and he's never looked back, 709 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,160 and he's been your starting to right tackle for three 710 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,359 years now. It's been Campbell and Jones. If Emrie Jones 711 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,519 is not a projected first round pick and a lot 712 00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:53,920 of these mocks are doing top two rounds and he's 713 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,640 not even appearing in everybody's second round, maybe NFL teams 714 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,559 want to see, hey, can he that interior spot? And 715 00:34:01,599 --> 00:34:03,720 if you're Emery Jones, do you want to come back 716 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,279 and do that? Do you want to come back and 717 00:34:05,319 --> 00:34:08,519 prove that you can play inside and be versatile? Heck, 718 00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,880 maybe they even try him at left tackle. I would 719 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,800 prefer him to stay at guard. So what I wanted 720 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,440 to kind of do is, let's say Emery Jones does 721 00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:19,159 come back, that helps your offensive line in such a 722 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:22,519 big way because you're losing Miles Fraser, you're losing Garrett Dellinger, 723 00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:28,079 and you're losing Will Campbell all season long. LSU fans figured, hey, 724 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,199 dj Chester is probably the only starter coming back. If 725 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,280 Emrie Jones can come back and take over one of 726 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,639 those guard spots, that really opens everything up. Now, you're 727 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,480 still going to be weak a tackle as far as 728 00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:41,320 experience wise, but look at the guys you just signed, 729 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,119 right I mean, first name out of Kelly's mouth at 730 00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:47,119 his signing day press conference when asked which players can 731 00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:50,239 play right away, he mentioned Carrius Kerns, the offensive tackle 732 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,480 out of Arkansas. You flip Solomon Thomas on signing day. 733 00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:56,280 He's six', four he's three. Fifteen he can play guard or. 734 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,679 Tackle so you don't have the, experience you certainly have the. 735 00:34:59,679 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 5: Body he's. There and let's not Forget Bo. 736 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,639 Speaker 7: Bordelon he's been used as a big tight, end that 737 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,800 sixth offensive, lineman if you, Will they really like. Him 738 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,519 he's he was running with the twos in fall. Camp 739 00:35:10,599 --> 00:35:12,679 and if you were out there at fall camp this 740 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,760 Name i'm about to throw out to, you you saw 741 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,400 him flash quite a bit at It's Weston. Davis Weston, 742 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,280 davis he was a true freshman on this. Team he 743 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,360 didn't get a ton of. Play he's red. Shirting he 744 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,320 was a five star coming out of high. School big, 745 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,920 kid sixty six three. TEN i, mean that's that's a 746 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,400 guy that they really. Like at the left tackle, Spot Ory, 747 00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:33,239 williams who wasn't as highly recruited As Weston, davis but, 748 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,639 look he looked really good at fall. Camp it's also 749 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,320 hard to Miss Ory williams six, eight three hundred and 750 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,159 thirty four. Pounds so if you can Get Emory jones, 751 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,320 back Your sinner's there at D J, chester then you 752 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,639 have one of your guard positions occupied By Emery, jones 753 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,800 or maybe he stays at right. Tackle either, way two 754 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,480 of your five spots are. Full but do you MOVE 755 00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:57,440 Dj Chester and you very well could because they brought 756 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,639 In Cohen eckles to be a center on this. 757 00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 5: Foot has he taken a big enough? 758 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 7: Jump if he, has you could potentially MOVE Dj chester to, 759 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,480 center which some people argue is his more natural. 760 00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 5: Spot the point of it, all look at. 761 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 7: It If Emery jones is, Gone jones is, gone you 762 00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:15,760 got Dj, Chester you got two new offensive. Guards you 763 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,199 got two new offensive, tackles you'll have to dip into 764 00:36:18,199 --> 00:36:20,239 the transfer. Portal but as far as the portal, goes 765 00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:23,400 there's not that one name out there where you're, like, 766 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,519 hey this is a mus get. Guy we got to 767 00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:27,920 go get. HIM i, Mean Jordan white From liberties out, 768 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,599 There Braylan moore From Virginia techs out. There these are solid, 769 00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:34,280 players but there's no can't miss guy in the transfer 770 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,000 portal right, now at least right. Now, again portal's not closed, 771 00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:40,320 yet and then you have that late spring. Window but 772 00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:43,519 if you can Get Emory jones, back that opens up 773 00:36:43,639 --> 00:36:47,760 everything else for your offensive. Line another GUY i want 774 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,400 to mention Is Harold. Perkins Harold, perkins from the time 775 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,960 he stepped foot on campus as a, freshman everybody had 776 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,039 really high hopes for, him and he looked great as a. 777 00:36:57,039 --> 00:36:59,440 Freshman Right he wasn't an every down defensive, player but 778 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,360 you put him in own pass rushing situations and he 779 00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:03,960 was a terror to opposing. 780 00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:07,119 Speaker 5: Quarterbacks he had a down year last, year and you 781 00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:07,440 know he. 782 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,519 Speaker 7: Had showed some flashes this year season ending injury east 783 00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:16,480 sidelined for about half the. Year Does Harold perkins come? 784 00:37:16,519 --> 00:37:19,599 BACK i believe even more so Than Emery. Jones Harold 785 00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:22,920 perkins does need to come. Back and here's. Why he's 786 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,360 an excellent football. Player he can impact the game in 787 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,320 a lot of different. Areas he's kind of a positionless 788 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,440 player right. Now where do you play? Him he's not 789 00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:33,320 quite big enough to be that every down rushing defensive. 790 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,360 End you've seen him struggle at middle. Linebacker star might 791 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,199 be the best spot for. It he's very similar To 792 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,440 Isaiah simmons Of. Clemson everyone Remembers Isaiah Clemson Isaiah. Simmons 793 00:37:43,519 --> 00:37:45,639 he was a first Team All. American he was on 794 00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:49,119 their national championship. Teams everybody wanted this guy coming, out 795 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,079 can't miss first round. Prospect he hasn't done much in THE, nfl, 796 00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:55,960 guys and the reason why is because a little bit 797 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,039 less Than, Perkins perkins is kind of that middle linebacker 798 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,840 edge rusher. Hybrid simmons was linebacker safety. Hybrid everybody, said 799 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,480 it doesn't matter where you play, him he's gonna be 800 00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:05,800 good at. 801 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,039 Speaker 5: Both well turned out to be the other way. 802 00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:12,639 Speaker 7: Around he really hasn't hasn't flashed at THE nfl level 803 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,000 because he's a little too slow to play. Safety he's 804 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,400 a little too small to play the inside linebacker. Spot 805 00:38:17,679 --> 00:38:19,679 they tried him at. Nickel he's kind of had struggles. 806 00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:22,039 There kind of you Herold perkins in the same. Area 807 00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:24,280 at least right now as AN nfl, prospect he's an 808 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,960 excellent college. Player Harold perkins needs to come, back find his, 809 00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:31,119 position find what works for, him and then you probably 810 00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:33,199 see him shoot up draft boards. Again because, again when 811 00:38:33,199 --> 00:38:35,119 he was at freshman edg, rusher he was playing one. 812 00:38:35,119 --> 00:38:37,840 Position everybody was, like, hey in two, years this is 813 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,480 a future first round. Pick he's a can't miss. Guy 814 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,039 no one's saying that right. Now If perkins could come, Back, 815 00:38:43,159 --> 00:38:45,920 look whether it's STAR i know everyone's tired of seeing 816 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,719 him at, linebacker or whether it's that edge rusher. Position 817 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,679 he needs to find one spot and stick with it 818 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,239 because right now he's just kind of a tweeener at 819 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,440 THE nfl. Level all, Right, look we're going to take 820 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,400 a time, out our last time out of the.
