WEBVTT
1
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.970
With Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
2
00:00:03.209 --> 00:00:04.509
Okay, here we go.
3
00:00:04.549 --> 00:00:07.389
Where the plays get broken down and science gets denied.
4
00:00:07.450 --> 00:00:09.009
Dude, they said I gotta come off the bench.
5
00:00:09.109 --> 00:00:11.970
Hour two of Off the Bench, live from the Raising
6
00:00:12.009 --> 00:00:12.839
Cane Studio.
7
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.090
All right, welcome back in OTB.
8
00:00:40.810 --> 00:00:42.789
Hour number two. Here live from the Razor King studio.
9
00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:45.450
Jake Flynn, Alondra Tate all here with you. The Wolfpack
10
00:00:45.509 --> 00:00:45.950
is back.
11
00:00:47.829 --> 00:00:48.299
Can I get a.
12
00:00:48.509 --> 00:00:49.990
Can I get a.
13
00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:50.270
Thank you.
14
00:00:50.289 --> 00:00:54.189
Thank you. A little hour two. You know, football season.
15
00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:57.109
Just to make sure you're awake in the car. Heading
16
00:00:57.130 --> 00:00:59.359
to work. You should probably already be at school or
17
00:00:59.380 --> 00:00:59.899
you're in a tardy.
18
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:02.500
And if you're in your car or your office and
19
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.480
you didn't just how, you're not a real one.
20
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:05.219
It's true.
21
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.239
I'll be embarrassed. I'm going to imagine that they did.
22
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.480
I hope when people hear this song, they think of OTV.
23
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:17.159
Yeah. So what if Martha and accounting look at you funny?
24
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:18.120
Who cares?
25
00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:19.680
Who cares? Who cares what Martha thinks?
26
00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:22.079
Who cares if Jim and Sales kind of gave you
27
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.980
the stank eye? Jim and Sales isn't as cool as you.
28
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:25.420
Yeah.
29
00:01:26.769 --> 00:01:31.920
Bunch of nerds. Bunch of mouth breathers. Yeah. That's what
30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.700
we like to call them. Let's be a real one.
31
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.579
More mouth breathers. Gym in cells or SEC media days?
32
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:49.030
None of the above. Carson Beck. That's true. He only
33
00:01:49.069 --> 00:01:51.150
breathes out of his mouth. I don't think he has
34
00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:53.810
the ability to do anything different. No. Oxygen has never
35
00:01:53.849 --> 00:01:59.129
touched those nostrils. That's fair. Hey, Tay-Tay.
36
00:01:59.849 --> 00:02:02.549
You put in a New Orleans Saints right here at
37
00:02:02.590 --> 00:02:05.769
the top, 8 o'clock, Saints training camp, day number 16.
38
00:02:05.769 --> 00:02:06.329
Got a.
39
00:02:08.110 --> 00:02:12.169
Little kicking battle going on. Daniel Carlson was signed the
40
00:02:12.210 --> 00:02:15.729
other day. Now, I think he has every opportunity to
41
00:02:15.750 --> 00:02:18.949
go win that job because, well, the Saints kicking situation
42
00:02:19.009 --> 00:02:22.710
has not been great. It has been actually quite poor.
43
00:02:23.349 --> 00:02:25.210
This is somebody that's done it for a long time,
44
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.060
had a lot of success. He's a two-time All-Pro player.
45
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:34.120
So we know he has that ability to win the job.
46
00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:36.009
I think he does.
47
00:02:36.110 --> 00:02:37.650
Cause I think that's why you brought him in, but
48
00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:41.889
I'll say the report that Ross put up on Louisiana sports.net.
49
00:02:42.310 --> 00:02:42.849
Go check it out.
50
00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:46.189
It's super detailed, but he mentions Tanner Brown was a
51
00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:49.430
perfect eight free yesterday. Charlie Smith was seven of eight
52
00:02:49.810 --> 00:02:52.689
and Daniel Carlson was seven of eight. So like while
53
00:02:52.710 --> 00:02:55.469
there's a kicking battle, all three of them actually performed
54
00:02:55.530 --> 00:02:58.449
well yesterday, but if you were comfortable with Tanner Brown
55
00:02:58.610 --> 00:03:01.409
or Charlie Smith, you don't bring in Daniel Carlson two
56
00:03:01.430 --> 00:03:03.969
weeks before the season starts anyway. So yeah, I mean,
57
00:03:04.009 --> 00:03:06.490
I think he's in the driver's seat there. We talked
58
00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:09.129
about it on Monday. You went out there at the
59
00:03:09.169 --> 00:03:10.490
end of the game to try to get points on
60
00:03:10.509 --> 00:03:14.009
the board and Tanner Brown missed a what? 35 yard
61
00:03:14.030 --> 00:03:16.349
field goal, 38 yard field goal, whatever it was like,
62
00:03:16.669 --> 00:03:18.810
that's one you got to hit. They wanted to see
63
00:03:18.849 --> 00:03:20.370
what Tanner Brown would look like at an end of
64
00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:24.090
game situation. And yeah, He didn't answer the call, and
65
00:03:24.330 --> 00:03:26.069
that's why you bring in a guy like Daniel Carlson.
66
00:03:26.810 --> 00:03:29.330
It's concerning to me that you still don't have, whoever
67
00:03:29.370 --> 00:03:31.590
your kicker is, that you don't have this figured out
68
00:03:31.969 --> 00:03:35.729
two weeks before the first game. Honestly, outside of cornerback,
69
00:03:36.030 --> 00:03:37.530
this is my biggest concern for the Saints.
70
00:03:40.270 --> 00:03:42.610
So I'll say this about kicker battles, and Matt, you
71
00:03:42.629 --> 00:03:44.909
were a holder, so you could probably give even better
72
00:03:44.949 --> 00:03:48.129
insight than I could. I was the backup to the
73
00:03:48.509 --> 00:03:53.189
holder sitting across from me. I don't care about practice
74
00:03:53.210 --> 00:03:55.530
stats with kickers at all.
75
00:03:55.830 --> 00:03:55.990
Nope.
76
00:03:56.550 --> 00:03:58.949
They're all head cases. It's very easy to make a
77
00:03:58.990 --> 00:04:02.330
kick in practice. A lot of times they're not even
78
00:04:02.409 --> 00:04:06.349
rushing against you. The defense just stands up. That's not real.
79
00:04:07.449 --> 00:04:09.889
Like for a kicker, and they are all head cases,
80
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.340
it's like what do you do when there's live bullets?
81
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.100
And this isn't even bullets that count. This is preseason,
82
00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:21.339
and it feels like the moment's too big for So
83
00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:26.230
you bring in Daniel Carlson, two-time All-Pro, kicking the SEC,
84
00:04:26.790 --> 00:04:31.870
kicking the NFL for a long time. To me, you
85
00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:35.029
have to judge what they did in the preseason in
86
00:04:35.050 --> 00:04:37.579
the games. It's the one position that I think the
87
00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.980
games matter much more than a practice and training.
88
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:41.660
But you know what?
89
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.120
To give a counterpoint to that, it's almost why you
90
00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:50.810
bring three in. you bring somebody else in to compete
91
00:04:50.850 --> 00:04:54.410
against them because you're trying to simulate the pressure of
92
00:04:54.470 --> 00:04:56.589
a game every day in practice. Cause you have to
93
00:04:56.629 --> 00:04:58.949
make a decision because your first games in a week
94
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.040
and a half. So how do you do that? Well,
95
00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:04.079
you make everybody think they're going to lose their job.
96
00:05:04.139 --> 00:05:06.779
If you miss a kick in practice because they have three,
97
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.310
they're now kicking. So every kick is that much more significant.
98
00:05:11.350 --> 00:05:13.829
You get less of them in practice. You only get
99
00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:16.069
so many in a, in a game, right? So like
100
00:05:16.110 --> 00:05:19.050
if you miss one in a game, In a competition,
101
00:05:19.350 --> 00:05:24.970
it's not good. And just like you said, the normal
102
00:05:25.009 --> 00:05:29.019
thought process is, yeah, what you do in practice is good,
103
00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:32.399
but for a kicker, it's what you do in the game.
104
00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:35.480
And it's kind of opposite thinking that we think in
105
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.300
preseason for other positions, right? We think what you do
106
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.060
in practice stands above what you do in the game.
107
00:05:42.490 --> 00:05:44.730
But for a kicker, it's kind of opposite. But you
108
00:05:44.750 --> 00:05:47.930
bring in another one to make three which puts pressure
109
00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:51.370
on everybody. Kickers are head cases, all of them, every
110
00:05:51.389 --> 00:05:55.939
single one. There's a couple of absolute dogs out there mentally,
111
00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:58.360
and you know them because they're some of the best
112
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.120
of all time to do it at the kicker position.
113
00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:02.660
They don't care. They thrive in that competition. They thrive
114
00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:03.420
under the pressure.
115
00:06:03.939 --> 00:06:05.959
A lot of them are head cases, and that's why
116
00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:07.720
it's kind of like golf when you get the yips
117
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:09.939
putting or chipping or whatever it is.
118
00:06:11.459 --> 00:06:12.959
It's hard for kickers to get out of.
119
00:06:12.939 --> 00:06:16.319
It, once the mechanics are off or once they miss
120
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:17.920
a couple because you start thinking about it.
121
00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.930
You start thinking about the kick. You start trying not
122
00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:24.490
to miss it instead of trying to make it. Right.
123
00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:26.730
That's the complete opposite thing.
124
00:06:27.430 --> 00:06:30.230
It's like a quarterback saying, don't throw an interception, don't
125
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:32.750
throw an interception, instead of trying to say, hey, I'm
126
00:06:32.769 --> 00:06:34.750
going to go complete every pass out there. I'm going
127
00:06:34.769 --> 00:06:36.089
to drive the ball down the field. I'm going to
128
00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:38.689
throw a touchdown. If you start thinking don't throw an interception,
129
00:06:38.870 --> 00:06:44.519
then you're done. So they're creating, they're simulating– game-type pressure
130
00:06:44.579 --> 00:06:46.560
in practice by bringing three kickers in.
131
00:06:46.579 --> 00:06:47.579
Because if you.
132
00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:49.620
Miss one, all right, well, you're done. If you have
133
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.920
a bad day, all right, we're going to cut you.
134
00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:53.399
We'll still have two on the roster we'll have to
135
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.379
make a decision for. So I think I like the
136
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.959
move of bringing them in. And look, the Saints are
137
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.050
not good enough to not have a weapon at kicker.
138
00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:02.310
Right.
139
00:07:02.670 --> 00:07:06.889
If you want to get to eight, nine, ten wins, potentially,
140
00:07:06.930 --> 00:07:09.029
if you want a chance to win a weak division
141
00:07:09.170 --> 00:07:12.189
and host a playoff game this year, You have to
142
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.199
have a weapon, a kicker. And unfortunately, it doesn't feel
143
00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:19.279
right now as if you do. Now, the highest ceiling,
144
00:07:19.300 --> 00:07:21.040
I would say, is Carlson. That's why you bring him in.
145
00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:23.790
He has shown that he can be a weapon. Just
146
00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:25.589
been a little inconsistent in the past. But like when
147
00:07:25.610 --> 00:07:27.870
you look around the league. I think you got five
148
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.509
or six in the preseason so far. You got five
149
00:07:30.550 --> 00:07:32.889
or six kicks made over 55 yards. Hell, you got
150
00:07:32.910 --> 00:07:34.569
a 69-yarder that was made.
151
00:07:34.589 --> 00:07:36.449
Yeah, 61, I know, from the Panthers.
152
00:07:36.529 --> 00:07:38.069
You got a guy in a competition for the Saints
153
00:07:38.290 --> 00:07:40.610
missing a, what, a 36, 39-yard field goal, and you
154
00:07:40.629 --> 00:07:44.410
got someone hitting a 69-yarder. You need a weapon there
155
00:07:44.689 --> 00:07:46.610
if you want to steal a couple of games, which
156
00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:49.370
you have the talent for the Saints to steal some games,
157
00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:52.550
but you're not going to do it unless you got
158
00:07:52.589 --> 00:07:52.889
a weapon.
159
00:07:53.029 --> 00:07:54.709
And I agree with you, and it's a good point
160
00:07:54.769 --> 00:07:57.759
that the division is– I think going to be so
161
00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.339
closely contested.
162
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.600
I mean, three teams have the same record last year.
163
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.399
And I think it is going to be a situation
164
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:09.149
where you have, I would say, five one-score games that
165
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:10.569
are going to come down to a kick. Like, it
166
00:08:10.610 --> 00:08:12.930
feels like that three of them might be within the division,
167
00:08:12.970 --> 00:08:15.050
which could decide your playoff fate.
168
00:08:15.149 --> 00:08:18.569
So every team needs one for sure.
169
00:08:18.670 --> 00:08:20.750
But there's some teams that can go out there, and
170
00:08:20.769 --> 00:08:22.759
they don't have to have a guy that can make
171
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.360
it from 60, 62. But with the Saints feeling good,
172
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.959
They're going to have multiple close games, certainly at the
173
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.230
end of the year, where they have four of their
174
00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:33.230
last five games in the division.
175
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:34.370
Think about that.
176
00:08:34.730 --> 00:08:37.389
Think how wild that is in the scheduling that it's
177
00:08:37.409 --> 00:08:39.049
going to come down to the last five weeks of
178
00:08:39.070 --> 00:08:41.730
the season. Now, it might not be any of the
179
00:08:41.769 --> 00:08:45.309
three on this roster right now that's finishing the season,
180
00:08:45.389 --> 00:08:49.179
but what you have in front of you, I'm going
181
00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:51.059
to roll out. If I had to go get a guy,
182
00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:52.840
I don't feel great about my guys. I'm going to
183
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.539
roll out the guy that's at least been two-time All-Pro
184
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.279
in the NFL. It's your best ceiling. I think he's
185
00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:01.169
got the highest ceiling, and he's got the most range.
186
00:09:03.730 --> 00:09:05.470
I would be shocked if it's not Daniel Cole.
187
00:09:05.549 --> 00:09:09.090
Range is kind of like the last 20 years of
188
00:09:10.070 --> 00:09:14.570
professional golf. Tiger Woods started it. To be able to compete,
189
00:09:14.789 --> 00:09:16.190
you have to be able to hit the ball far.
190
00:09:16.429 --> 00:09:16.950
Yeah.
191
00:09:16.970 --> 00:09:18.809
You've got to be able to nuke the ball off
192
00:09:18.830 --> 00:09:21.929
the drive. Very few people can not do that and
193
00:09:21.970 --> 00:09:22.990
compete consistently.
194
00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:24.389
It's like Ricky Bobby. You've got to go fast.
195
00:09:24.429 --> 00:09:26.990
You've got to go fast. Now, it's to that age
196
00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:33.629
where these kickers are completely changing defensive philosophy.
197
00:09:33.750 --> 00:09:34.120
No doubt.
198
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.940
Offensive philosophy, offensive clock management, two-minute situations, scenarios.
199
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:40.059
How aggressive you are.
200
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.919
How aggressive you are because they're able to convert from
201
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.929
midfield and do it at a pretty high clip.
202
00:09:45.990 --> 00:09:46.850
It's unbelievable.
203
00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:49.009
I mean, you've got the kicker for the Packers that
204
00:09:49.029 --> 00:09:52.450
has made multiple 50-yarders in preseason. You've got a 58-yarder.
205
00:09:52.470 --> 00:09:56.830
You've got multiple 55-yarders made in the preseason. 55-plus yards.
206
00:09:56.850 --> 00:09:58.490
Just think about that 10 years ago.
207
00:09:58.490 --> 00:09:58.529
$ 55.
208
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.460
Okay, that's a what? We got a 30, 40% chance
209
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:03.970
of making it?
210
00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:06.240
That was like only Janikowski can make that.
211
00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:08.580
And it was like, it was going there and everybody's
212
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.580
holding their breath and it just like grazes the crossbar
213
00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:12.070
as it goes up.
214
00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:13.639
And you used to put a returner back there on
215
00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:14.980
like a 55 yard attempt.
216
00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:17.750
Yeah. Because you would have the ability to return. 60
217
00:10:17.750 --> 00:10:19.929
yarders and it's still hitting the middle of the net.
218
00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:25.139
So if you have somebody, which the Saints do have
219
00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:28.299
someone that has had that in his past in camp,
220
00:10:28.470 --> 00:10:32.070
I would be shocked if it's not Carlson over Charlie
221
00:10:32.110 --> 00:10:33.669
Smith and Tanner Brown.
222
00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:34.769
So we'll see.
223
00:10:35.509 --> 00:10:37.429
Normally we would not spend 10 minutes on a kicker,
224
00:10:37.850 --> 00:10:39.789
but to Matt's point, and I agree, they're going to
225
00:10:39.809 --> 00:10:42.549
have so many close games, the division is going to
226
00:10:42.610 --> 00:10:43.929
be down to the wire.
227
00:10:44.549 --> 00:10:47.899
Kicker could be the difference in like three wins for
228
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:53.639
the New Orleans. Still, kickers aren't real football players. Who's
229
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.220
more of a real football player, a kicker, a deep snapper,
230
00:10:57.340 --> 00:11:05.710
or a punter? You got to pick one. Hmm. I'm, hmm, punter.
231
00:11:12.350 --> 00:11:14.009
I'm going to agree. I'm going to try to think
232
00:11:14.049 --> 00:11:18.210
of why. But, hmm. I'll say the punter because more
233
00:11:18.230 --> 00:11:19.830
of a. Because you can pin him. Like, the punter
234
00:11:21.549 --> 00:11:24.470
also has to hold. Hunter has to hold. So you
235
00:11:24.490 --> 00:11:25.450
play a lot of stress.
236
00:11:28.909 --> 00:11:30.549
You can pin them deep and you see a lot
237
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.700
more chest pounding from the punters.
238
00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:36.059
They'll go kickers. They just kind of like jump up
239
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.159
and hurrah.
240
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:40.600
Hurrah.
241
00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:43.120
We've made it. I'm never going to not think of that.
242
00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:48.419
Three points. Like I got it. I feel like most
243
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.940
kickers at the end of the game. If the team's
244
00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:55.120
down by one down by two, And it's a two-minute drive.
245
00:11:55.470 --> 00:11:58.690
I have to think that most kickers are praying that
246
00:11:59.669 --> 00:12:03.149
the quarterback does a touchdown or an interception. Because they
247
00:12:03.190 --> 00:12:07.230
don't want that smoke. Like I said, there's a few
248
00:12:07.269 --> 00:12:10.909
of them out there that want it. But I got
249
00:12:10.950 --> 00:12:13.740
a feeling a lot of them don't want it. I
250
00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:16.799
think that punter is like, I'm going to go pin
251
00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:18.620
these guys inside the five.
252
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.990
Then I'm going to chest punt. Hit my chest. Give
253
00:12:22.009 --> 00:12:24.490
me the most nerve-wracking thing you can do on a
254
00:12:24.509 --> 00:12:31.389
football field. I got two. I got, it's a specialist.
255
00:12:31.409 --> 00:12:33.500
Say it's either kicking a field goal or deep snapping.
256
00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:37.399
I think that the things that give me sweaty palms,
257
00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:43.149
catching a punt. like in a real game with 11
258
00:12:43.149 --> 00:12:45.129
guys with bad intentions coming right at you.
259
00:12:45.169 --> 00:12:47.019
And everybody's staring at you.
260
00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:47.279
Yeah.
261
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:48.519
Because you're the one that's catching it.
262
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:49.519
And the ball's in the air forever.
263
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:49.899
Yes.
264
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.659
And these punters are incredibly talented.
265
00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:55.019
The spin and how it, once it starts to come down,
266
00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:57.419
it just, it goes 17 different ways.
267
00:12:58.330 --> 00:13:03.230
And then being a holder. People take that just as
268
00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:07.049
a matter of fact. It's not that.
269
00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:10.049
Like you, you're, You're catching it. You've got to put
270
00:13:10.070 --> 00:13:11.490
it down. You've got to turn it. You've got to
271
00:13:11.529 --> 00:13:12.970
move your fingers. You've got to make sure it's on
272
00:13:13.009 --> 00:13:15.070
the kicker's spot. You've got to have the lean that
273
00:13:15.110 --> 00:13:19.649
he wants to. Our pecking order of holders in San
274
00:13:19.669 --> 00:13:23.049
Diego went Mike Cyphers, our punter, Eric Weddle, then me.
275
00:13:23.789 --> 00:13:28.000
Cyphers got hurt, so our kicker was punting. And Weddle
276
00:13:28.029 --> 00:13:31.179
was holding. And Weddle kind of like got up real
277
00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:33.200
slow after playing safety. It almost looked like he had
278
00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:37.120
a concussion. I'm like, I'm like Mick, get up, you
279
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.200
son of a. You know, like he was talking to Rocky.
280
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:44.639
Because I was like, I can't do that in an
281
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.200
NFL game. I've done it in practice. This is a
282
00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:50.279
close game, and I'm not trying to be the reason
283
00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:52.750
that we lose this game. And I don't get nervous
284
00:13:52.789 --> 00:13:56.029
on a football field. That right there, I was Mick
285
00:13:56.049 --> 00:14:00.649
yelling at Rock. You also got to hold when it's cold.
286
00:14:01.429 --> 00:14:01.929
That's a rhyme.
287
00:14:01.950 --> 00:14:04.629
You got to hold when it's cold. So I held
288
00:14:04.669 --> 00:14:07.620
for one year in Green Bay, and Mason Crosby didn't
289
00:14:07.659 --> 00:14:08.340
have his best year.
290
00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:12.919
I took a lot of the blame. Oh, no. I
291
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.379
was ready for it. I was ready for it. Absolutely,
292
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.679
I did. I did have one bet. My only bad
293
00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:17.960
hole in.
294
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.639
My career was in Green Bay. How bad was it, though?
295
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.490
It wasn't great. It was like I kind of, like,
296
00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:28.889
was fumbling around with the ball. Like, I got it pinned,
297
00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:31.570
and then it, like, came off my finger, and I
298
00:14:31.570 --> 00:14:33.830
had to, like, kind of like catch it as it
299
00:14:33.870 --> 00:14:35.450
was falling, and he was already coming.
300
00:14:35.629 --> 00:14:36.799
Addressing the ball. He missed it.
301
00:14:37.029 --> 00:14:42.809
And guess what? Do I look like Brendan Sorsby? Do
302
00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:45.730
I look like him? Guess what I said? Because no
303
00:14:45.789 --> 00:14:47.549
one saw it because you could barely see it.
304
00:14:47.730 --> 00:14:52.549
Yeah. I said, cameras, come here. Press conference time. Me, you.
305
00:14:52.710 --> 00:14:55.350
Let's go. Hey, that one's on me. What, Mason?
306
00:14:55.809 --> 00:14:57.009
Cameras, come here.
307
00:14:57.070 --> 00:15:00.440
Cameras, over here. Was that your rookie? Placeholder. Placeholder. Was
308
00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:02.299
that your rookie year? No, that was like my second
309
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:02.740
or third year.
310
00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:04.820
But that's the thing, though, right? Like, even if it's
311
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.879
not your fault, Crosby's a really good kicker. He's established.
312
00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:09.220
You're going to eat that one regardless.
313
00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:12.559
Yeah. That's on you regardless. It was on me. It
314
00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:19.029
was on me. Now I got to look up. I
315
00:15:19.049 --> 00:15:21.809
got benched. I hate that.
316
00:15:21.950 --> 00:15:23.850
I don't know if I got benched after that one, though.
317
00:15:23.909 --> 00:15:25.909
It was because he was having a bad.
318
00:15:25.929 --> 00:15:28.129
I mean, I really do need to know what year
319
00:15:28.149 --> 00:15:30.450
it was. It might have been 09 or it was
320
00:15:30.470 --> 00:15:31.240
probably 09. 2007, he was 79.5%. 2008, he was 79.4%. 2009,
321
00:15:31.210 --> 00:15:32.289
he was 75%. And then he went to 85.7% just
322
00:15:32.309 --> 00:15:33.330
two years later in 2011. 2010, he was 78.6%.
323
00:15:33.330 --> 00:15:34.470
Now in 2012, he was 63.6%. Then he went back
324
00:15:34.490 --> 00:15:35.710
up to 89%. So if it was 09, it was 75%,
325
00:15:35.710 --> 00:15:59.710
but it wasn't his worst year. It was the second
326
00:15:59.730 --> 00:16:01.990
worst year in like a 20-year. It wasn't a great
327
00:16:02.009 --> 00:16:04.750
year for him. He's like, I think, the all-time leading
328
00:16:04.769 --> 00:16:05.929
scorer in Green Bay Packer history.
329
00:16:05.950 --> 00:16:07.409
How did they tell you that you were fired, though?
330
00:16:09.029 --> 00:16:13.629
Well, so it was Mason wanted the punter to be
331
00:16:13.649 --> 00:16:16.009
the holder. Because at that time, we didn't have like
332
00:16:16.049 --> 00:16:18.970
an established punter. So he kept like bringing guys in.
333
00:16:19.190 --> 00:16:21.809
And so I held. But at that time, we started
334
00:16:21.850 --> 00:16:25.470
getting an established punter. And so he would only get
335
00:16:26.909 --> 00:16:30.100
eight kicks a day with me. yeah instead of a
336
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.899
hundred with like because i was you know doing real
337
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.039
football things yeah i'll give you.
338
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.570
Credit though you might you must have been a hell
339
00:16:37.590 --> 00:16:40.149
of a holder you're the only college starting quarterback i
340
00:16:40.169 --> 00:16:43.309
remember that also held oh i don't ever remember.
341
00:16:43.070 --> 00:16:46.509
That gunner stockton holds does he they try so i'd
342
00:16:46.529 --> 00:16:48.970
held my first for three years and then when i
343
00:16:49.009 --> 00:16:52.250
was a senior we went out i think in spring
344
00:16:52.269 --> 00:16:53.490
ball and um.
345
00:16:54.490 --> 00:16:56.309
For field goal, first field goal period.
346
00:16:56.590 --> 00:16:58.889
And I don't remember who was, whatever it was, like
347
00:16:59.690 --> 00:17:02.789
the punter or who it was going into our senior year.
348
00:17:02.889 --> 00:17:05.799
I do. And I remember I was watching it. Brady.
349
00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:13.079
That's right. Yes. Punter. Brady Dalfree. Brady Dalfree. Almost said Delphine,
350
00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:18.299
but that's not Delphine. It's cornbread muff. And then I
351
00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:19.019
was like, hmm.
352
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.809
I was like, I don't know what it's supposed to
353
00:17:20.829 --> 00:17:22.740
look like. I know it's supposed to be the starting quarterback,
354
00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:24.829
but that hole ain't it. I'm not working all this.
355
00:17:25.289 --> 00:17:26.769
I'm not working that hard to get the ball in
356
00:17:26.789 --> 00:17:28.569
the end zone and miss an excess point. So I
357
00:17:28.589 --> 00:17:32.769
told Bradley Dale Pivoteau that I'd do the hole. He said,
358
00:17:32.809 --> 00:17:33.430
all right, brother.
359
00:17:33.470 --> 00:17:35.930
I'll bring the beers. I'll bring the beers. I'll bring
360

Head underwater and you tell me to breathe easy for

00:18:56.710 --> 00:19:04.029
a while. The breathing gets harder, even I know that.
385
00:19:05.130 --> 00:19:08.890
Locked in on LSU football 24-7. You're listening to Off

That was a motorcycle.
406
00:20:11.970 --> 00:20:12.710
Yeah.
407
00:20:12.849 --> 00:20:14.589
They got motorcycles that buy you automotive?
408
00:20:15.089 --> 00:20:16.869
Maybe. Flynn just told people they did.
409
00:20:16.910 --> 00:20:17.210
Yeah.
410
00:20:18.130 --> 00:20:20.769
Maybe somebody traded one in. Maybe. Wanda was like, Wanda
411
00:20:20.789 --> 00:20:23.619
saw it and she's like, that ain't it. Whatever that is.
412
00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:25.599
I think she like shook her head in disappointment. You
413
00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:27.140
miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
414
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:28.940
That's fair. You missed that one.
415
00:20:29.180 --> 00:20:32.680
Missed it. I took it though.
416
00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:33.140
Bravery.
417
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.279
I love it. You didn't like my car noise?
418
00:20:35.970 --> 00:20:39.279
Yesterday, it was better today. Yesterday, it sounded like the
419
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.759
engine had something wrong with it. What you did yesterday.
420
00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:42.960
It did.
421
00:20:43.019 --> 00:20:45.619
It was like you were sputtering to start. Yeah. Yeah.
422
00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:47.329
We had a flow tip on it.
423
00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:49.980
I don't know what that means.
424
00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:53.250
Your truck yesterday needed probably a new spark plug in it, bud.
425
00:20:53.470 --> 00:20:53.730
Yeah.
426
00:20:54.089 --> 00:20:57.609
It's about to go out. That's not good. Well, if
427
00:20:57.670 --> 00:20:59.970
it did go out by automotive, they'd come pick it up,
428
00:21:00.170 --> 00:21:02.990
bring it back to the shop. That's fair, too. Maybe
429
00:21:03.009 --> 00:21:04.970
that's what you were trying to get at. You know
430
00:21:04.990 --> 00:21:06.490
what I mean? Oh, yeah. You're trying to let the
431
00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:10.200
people know that if this does happen. It's subliminal. You
432
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:17.859
got somebody for it. You see Kayshaun Booty got traded?
433
00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:18.559
I did.
434
00:21:20.109 --> 00:21:23.230
Went from the Patriots to the Texans for safety. Jalen
435
00:21:23.269 --> 00:21:26.930
Reed in a late round draft choice. This is a
436
00:21:26.970 --> 00:21:31.609
great trade for the Texans. When I went to Patriots camp,
437
00:21:32.430 --> 00:21:34.369
the Kayshaun rumors had already started.
438
00:21:34.450 --> 00:21:35.650
And I was curious. All right.
439
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.319
How's he going to handle this? You've seen it, and
440
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.160
I've seen it. Good people, good players, that when they
441
00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:43.440
know they're not going to be there, I don't want
442
00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:46.710
to say pout. They just have bad body language.
443
00:21:47.089 --> 00:21:49.809
That's human nature, right? That's human nature.
444
00:21:51.730 --> 00:21:55.450
I thought that Keyshawn looked as quick as I've ever
445
00:21:55.509 --> 00:22:03.799
seen him before. I thought at times he looked like
446
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.369
the best receiver out there, Because A.J. Brown was still
447
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.650
trying to figure his way out. You could tell he
448
00:22:09.769 --> 00:22:12.190
was a new team, and he was kind of trying
449
00:22:12.210 --> 00:22:14.029
to stand back a little bit and figure out what's
450
00:22:14.049 --> 00:22:17.589
going on. So I thought Kayshaun handled himself very well
451
00:22:18.309 --> 00:22:21.869
in that situation where we've seen it play out completely opposite.
452
00:22:22.569 --> 00:22:26.410
So I was excited for him that he gets to
453
00:22:26.450 --> 00:22:29.680
go to a new team. Because, look, they signed Romeo Dobbs.
454
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:30.519
They traded for A.J.
455
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:30.960
Brown.
456
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.819
When they signed Dobbs, they probably didn't know that they
457
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:36.630
could land A.J. Brown for sure, but they did. And
458
00:22:36.650 --> 00:22:38.930
they've got Douglas in the slot. They've got Mack Hollins.
459
00:22:38.950 --> 00:22:41.569
They've got a good receiver room. And Keyshawn had the
460
00:22:41.609 --> 00:22:43.769
most value of those ones that wasn't going to be
461
00:22:43.809 --> 00:22:48.140
the first guy out there. And then the Texans have
462
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.960
Higgins go down, second-year player from Iowa State with an
463
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:54.079
ACL tear, and they quickly make the move to bring
464
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.660
in Keyshawn. I think that they upgraded. I think Higgins
465
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:00.309
is going to be a good player. I think Keyshawn's
466
00:23:00.349 --> 00:23:04.279
already been a good player. He's got big playability. Yards
467
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:06.500
per catch was fifth best in the NFL for guys
468
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:07.680
who qualified last year.
469
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.259
Is he going into year three? Or is it four already?
470
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:13.299
It should be four.
471
00:23:13.619 --> 00:23:16.380
And I'm not trying to look like I'm wearing purple
472
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.420
and gold glasses over here or anything.
473
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:19.039
That's fine.
474
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:21.299
I think Keyshawn Booty right now is their number two
475
00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:23.940
wide receiver in using day steps foot in training camp.
476
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.619
I mean, Jalen Noel, he's down too. He's not out
477
00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:31.210
for the year. Tank Dell just got back after like
478
00:23:31.250 --> 00:23:32.970
a year. And I mean, let's be honest. Tank Dell
479
00:23:32.990 --> 00:23:35.859
has never. been able to stay healthy in his NFL career. Like,
480
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:37.200
Deshaun's the number two guy.
481
00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:41.759
I think so as well. Xavier Hutchinson's there. I think
482
00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:43.680
he's a nice player. He's a good person to have
483
00:23:43.700 --> 00:23:48.380
in the back end of your receiver room. Outside of that, like,
484
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:50.640
they like Jared Wayne. He's been there for a couple years.
485
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:52.569
They continue to bring him back. I know they signed
486
00:23:52.609 --> 00:23:57.430
Zay Jones as well. Sterling Shepard, I believe, was added
487
00:23:57.869 --> 00:23:58.589
after the injury.
488
00:23:58.609 --> 00:24:03.309
Look, the Texans season– It's going to come down to
489
00:24:03.329 --> 00:24:08.119
CJ Stroud. And what have you done for me lately?
490
00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:12.599
He's stunk. He's absolutely stunk.
491
00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:15.180
Tell us how you really feel.
492
00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:17.900
He has, and I've been very vocal about that because
493
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.650
he's got the ability. He's shown the ability, and I
494
00:24:20.670 --> 00:24:24.210
don't like it when people with the ability don't play
495
00:24:24.269 --> 00:24:27.470
up to their standard that they should have. He has
496
00:24:27.589 --> 00:24:30.450
proven that he can play at a high level. He's
497
00:24:30.490 --> 00:24:32.039
also proven to me that he's mentally weak.
498
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.299
He stunk.
499
00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:38.180
They should have won the Super Bowl last year, at
500
00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:40.660
least been in it. If he plays well, if he
501
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.769
plays anywhere close to where he did as a rookie,
502
00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:45.109
as a rookie, you can't play as good as you
503
00:24:45.130 --> 00:24:49.549
did as a rookie. If he plays anywhere close to
504
00:24:49.589 --> 00:24:50.569
that level, they make the.
505
00:24:50.509 --> 00:24:55.380
Super Bowl this year. I mean, I'm in full agreeance
506
00:24:55.410 --> 00:24:58.759
with you. They are that good. I think so, too.
507
00:24:58.779 --> 00:25:00.240
Everywhere.
508
00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:03.480
Everywhere. So it comes down to that position.
509
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.309
And you can tell that they think they're that good
510
00:25:05.789 --> 00:25:07.650
by going to make the move for Kayshaun.
511
00:25:08.089 --> 00:25:10.549
Yeah. Because they had an injury, and they said, nope,
512
00:25:10.710 --> 00:25:12.890
this will not define our season. We ain't doing that.
513
00:25:13.329 --> 00:25:15.450
Where do we have some depth? All right, we got
514
00:25:15.470 --> 00:25:16.309
some depth at safety.
515
00:25:16.329 --> 00:25:18.049
We signed Reem Blankenship in the offseason.
516
00:25:18.089 --> 00:25:19.049
Let's go make that move.
517
00:25:19.130 --> 00:25:23.420
And Kayshaun feels like, from what I saw of him,
518
00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:25.480
feels like an upgrade, and that could be.
519
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.099
A difference maker.
520
00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:29.720
CJ, to me, carries himself and has the demeanor and
521
00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:31.019
the face of a kicker.
522
00:25:32.250 --> 00:25:32.990
I do. I do.
523
00:25:33.069 --> 00:25:34.950
I think he's, I think he's a, I think he's
524
00:25:34.990 --> 00:25:38.740
a head case, but kickers get on hot strings.
525
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.200
Kickers have great years. Like I think he got in
526
00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:45.500
his own head last year and it showed. Yeah. He
527
00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:47.980
played a little bit better towards the end of the season.
528
00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:51.319
But when I, when I say like high school, Harry
529
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:55.630
type plays decision-making accuracy, a threat, like missing flat routes,
530
00:25:55.710 --> 00:25:59.990
missing spot routes over the ball. Like I'm talking embarrassing
531
00:26:00.069 --> 00:26:04.539
for an NFL quarterback. embarrassing plays. Everybody makes bad plays.
532
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:10.069
Everybody has bad games. But to watch consistently the mistakes
533
00:26:10.109 --> 00:26:14.910
that he was making mentally and physically was brutal to watch.
534
00:26:14.950 --> 00:26:17.089
And it makes me mad when guys that are that
535
00:26:17.150 --> 00:26:19.859
talented and have shown that are that good get it.
536
00:26:19.930 --> 00:26:23.430
Like that tells me there is a mental issue happening.
537
00:26:24.210 --> 00:26:25.190
It's between the ears.
538
00:26:25.670 --> 00:26:29.380
Yeah. And I don't want to read too much into it.
539
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:30.180
You can.
540
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.740
No, I'm saying like, so we had him in training camp.
541
00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:36.700
So I interviewed him. He was very respectful.
542
00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:38.920
Shook your hand. Seems like a great kid.
543
00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:43.730
Looked you in the eye. Like all of those things. Friendly,
544
00:26:44.069 --> 00:26:48.809
you know, in between. But when we started recording, like
545
00:26:48.829 --> 00:26:50.769
he kind of looked ahead and didn't look side to side.
546
00:26:51.369 --> 00:26:53.529
And we did it with Nico Collins at the same time.
547
00:26:54.710 --> 00:26:57.660
Different personalities to say the least. But it did look
548
00:26:57.700 --> 00:27:00.359
like there's a thousand things right now going through CJ's brain.
549
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:00.700
Right.
550
00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:03.279
He's got to be feeling the pressure because he knows
551
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:05.400
how good everybody is. He knows how good the people
552
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:06.759
around him are.
553
00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:10.140
And again, he's got the ability, and I hope he does.
554
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.460
I hope he goes and proves me wrong and all
555
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.450
the haters wrong because we are hating because of what
556
00:27:14.470 --> 00:27:17.730
we saw in the field and the product that was
557
00:27:17.789 --> 00:27:20.630
put out there. So if he does go and have
558
00:27:20.670 --> 00:27:23.210
a good year, they're going to have an opportunity to
559
00:27:23.269 --> 00:27:25.069
win it all, and I hope they do because Huck
560
00:27:25.089 --> 00:27:25.539
would be happy.
561
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:35.079
Big Stingley guy. I forgot about that. Sting's a man
562
00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:36.680
of very few words. I will say I dumped all
563
00:27:36.700 --> 00:27:37.640
my CJ Stroud cards.
564
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:41.849
I bet you he's going to do real good this season.
565
00:27:41.869 --> 00:27:44.069
He probably is. That's a good sign for him, honestly.
566
00:27:44.089 --> 00:27:45.069
Who'd you do that to?
567
00:27:45.829 --> 00:27:46.009
Huh?
568
00:27:46.309 --> 00:27:49.190
Who'd you do that? Like, you got somebody to... Yeah, somebody.
569
00:27:50.609 --> 00:27:52.650
Some sucker. Some idiot.
570
00:27:53.950 --> 00:27:57.920
He's a real big dum-dum. But to your point, I mean,
571
00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:59.539
he doesn't have to be a world beater. If he
572
00:27:59.579 --> 00:28:02.509
just plays remotely close to how he did his first year,
573
00:28:02.529 --> 00:28:02.950
that's a.
574
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.940
Completely different thing. He can be a world beater. That's
575
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.910
the thing. You think?
576
00:28:06.650 --> 00:28:09.609
I mean, he has shown it. But I don't think
577
00:28:09.630 --> 00:28:13.730
he can consistently be a world beater because I think
578
00:28:13.829 --> 00:28:15.450
he is mentally weak.
579
00:28:16.869 --> 00:28:20.069
All right. We will step away. We've got more OTB, though,
580
00:28:20.109 --> 00:28:21.109
coming right back your way.
581
00:28:21.130 --> 00:28:23.910
Stay locked in here. Come back live from the Raising
582
00:28:23.950 --> 00:28:24.430
Cane Studio.
583
00:28:25.250 --> 00:28:25.849
Off the bench.
584
00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:30.720
All right, go to RussellPools.com, RussellPools.com, the website for Russell
585
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.200
Pool Company. Now, they've been in the game since the
586
00:28:33.740 --> 00:28:36.680
1960s here in South Louisiana. So, look, when you're dealing
587
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:39.109
with South Louisiana and the weather, it can be harsh.
588
00:28:39.609 --> 00:28:42.269
But you're going to want somebody that knows the conditions.
589
00:28:42.390 --> 00:28:44.430
They know how to build a pool that is going
590
00:28:44.509 --> 00:28:47.210
to stand up and stand tall in those harsh conditions.
591
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.500
And also one that can give you all the bells,
592
00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:52.049
all the whistles that you're looking for. So if you
593
00:28:52.089 --> 00:28:53.490
want to deal with the best, if you want to
594
00:28:53.529 --> 00:28:55.690
deal with somebody that's been doing it, again, since the
595
00:28:56.150 --> 00:28:58.809
1960s here in the area, there's only one company, and
596
00:28:58.829 --> 00:28:59.809
that's Russell Pool Company.
597
00:28:59.829 --> 00:29:00.380
That's right.
598
00:29:00.390 --> 00:29:03.440
Cannonball season. Russell Pools. RussellPools.com.
599
00:29:04.099 --> 00:29:05.359
The name you think of when you think of the
600
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.740
highest quality custom pools in all of Louisiana.
601
00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:08.420
Chris Sanderson.
602
00:29:08.809 --> 00:29:13.859
His team over there, they're doing incredible work all over Louisiana.
603
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:16.039
So if you have been wanting to turn that backyard
604
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:18.740
into like a backyard oasis with a dream pool, give
605
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:21.299
them a call. They got two landscape architects on staff.
606
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.910
They'll take your dream to reality the entire step of
607
00:29:23.950 --> 00:29:24.250
the way.
608
00:29:24.289 --> 00:29:25.309
Russellpools.com.
609
00:29:28.930 --> 00:29:37.440
Tigers turn talkers. This is Off the Bench. Now that
610
00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:40.410
she's back in the atmosphere.
611
00:30:01.190 --> 00:30:02.970
Since the return.
612
00:30:02.450 --> 00:30:05.380
Of a stay on the moon, she listens like spring
613
00:30:05.430 --> 00:30:08.000
and she talks like June.
614
00:30:08.099 --> 00:30:09.400
What's our favorite train song?
615
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:10.440
This one.
616
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:16.660
Yeah, I mean, maybe this. I mean, Virginia. Go on. God,
617
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:20.220
I wish I could sing. I'd be, I mean, y'all
618
00:30:20.269 --> 00:30:22.430
would be so annoyed at me if I could sing.
619
00:30:22.809 --> 00:30:24.470
Soul Sister's good, but.
620
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:30.160
Drops of Jupiter is probably the answer.
621
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:32.740
Soul Sister got overplayed whenever it came out.
622
00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:34.859
I mean, smoke's a pack a day. Weight, that's me.
623
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:36.160
But anyway, it's a great line.
624
00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:39.000
At least it was when I was in high school.
625
00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:43.000
I thought it was cool. So tight. I don't even smoke.
626
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:48.240
Were you... Which clone were you, Polo? Yup. Cool Water.
627
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.849
Cool Water. Curve. Curve had a run. Were you spray
628
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:54.970
on each wrist and the neck? Yes.
629
00:30:55.329 --> 00:30:58.150
Or were you mist the... The air in front of
630
00:30:58.170 --> 00:30:59.109
you and walk through?
631
00:30:59.190 --> 00:31:02.529
Spray on like the forearm area, rub it together, lift
632
00:31:02.549 --> 00:31:05.230
the shirt, give a spray like right here, you know,
633
00:31:05.289 --> 00:31:08.369
like chest area under the shirt.
634
00:31:08.430 --> 00:31:09.589
All right. And that's my move.
635
00:31:09.890 --> 00:31:11.250
I always thought it was weird how people do the
636
00:31:11.309 --> 00:31:14.500
wrist and then they wipe the wrist on like their neck.
637
00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:17.880
Yeah. It's not efficient. Females, I think maybe, right? Females
638
00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:19.559
do it that way, right? It's hard to get the
639
00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:22.880
wrist to touch the neck, I feel like. I mean,
640
00:31:22.940 --> 00:31:26.440
we're big dum-dums and we're flexible. Maybe my biceps. I
641
00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:29.319
don't know, dude. Maybe we're pretty good at it over here, but, like,
642
00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:32.380
I don't think she's getting it. Zip your lips. Yeah, dude,
643
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:37.210
you didn't do cologne. You just went. Actually, actually, that
644
00:31:37.250 --> 00:31:40.150
must have been a long run. I remember old sixth grade.
645
00:31:40.230 --> 00:31:42.710
Old sixth grade, we had some curve. Curve, curve. And
646
00:31:42.769 --> 00:31:45.319
I was simple. I was two squirts on the back
647
00:31:45.339 --> 00:31:48.319
of the neck. That was it. That's what we did.
648
00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:51.059
Two what? Two squirts on the back of the neck.
649
00:31:51.220 --> 00:31:52.279
The back of the neck?
650
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:52.559
Yeah.
651
00:31:58.119 --> 00:31:58.759
So funny, guys.
652
00:31:59.059 --> 00:32:00.900
I don't know why two squirts in the back of
653
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:02.279
the neck is so funny.
654
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:05.599
What? Spritzes.
655
00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:12.099
Two squirts on the neck. Hang on a minute.
656
00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:13.779
Hold up.
657
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:14.319
Hold up.
658
00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:20.180
Hold up. Hold up. We're going to work.
659
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:21.980
Everybody lock in. Everybody lock in.
660
00:32:22.049 --> 00:32:27.380
Everybody lock in. All right. Usually not all of us
661
00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:29.539
give the giggles over things. It's just one or two
662
00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:29.779
of us.
663
00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:32.269
When somebody says, I used to do two squirts on
664
00:32:32.289 --> 00:32:33.250
the back of the neck.
665
00:32:34.990 --> 00:32:38.890
Come on. We were feeling fancy. Sometimes it was three. Oh, man.
666
00:32:39.210 --> 00:32:43.450
All right.
667
00:32:48.490 --> 00:32:49.309
I got it.
668
00:32:50.490 --> 00:32:51.410
The back of the neck?
669
00:32:51.430 --> 00:32:55.069
The back of the neck? That's crazy. Oh, man. I
670
00:32:55.109 --> 00:32:57.119
was in sixth grade, guys.
671
00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:58.880
Someone said back squirts?
672
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:01.039
That's where, yeah. You gotta pay extra for that.
673
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:01.539
Back squirts?
674
00:33:11.150 --> 00:33:12.150
Did he say squirts?
675
00:33:12.170 --> 00:33:17.789
I did. Two on the back of the neck, to
676
00:33:17.809 --> 00:33:20.769
be specific. Oh, God.
677
00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:23.609
Oh.
678
00:33:24.390 --> 00:33:26.509
Sorry.
679
00:33:26.529 --> 00:33:27.490
That was the text.
680
00:33:27.529 --> 00:33:33.390
The text was the back of the neck. A lot
681
00:33:33.430 --> 00:33:37.829
of backshot talk in the chat. Have y'all seen those
682
00:33:37.890 --> 00:33:40.730
pranks where they tell the mom at Starbucks and they're like,
683
00:33:42.009 --> 00:33:45.609
can you order a couple backshots? And the mom is like,
684
00:33:45.970 --> 00:33:48.569
can I get a grande with two backshots?
685
00:33:51.369 --> 00:33:54.549
And the person's always like, What?
686
00:33:55.869 --> 00:33:57.789
Jake in the chat, is that code for something else
687
00:33:57.869 --> 00:34:05.289
in LP? Joey, the back? She's behind you? Daniel, was
688
00:34:05.309 --> 00:34:12.900
that how Razor was conceived? I don't know if that's possible. Abo,
689
00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:15.059
some things you just keep to yourself, Taylor. This is
690
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:16.559
what I did, guys. We were in junior high. In
691
00:34:16.579 --> 00:34:24.900
junior high? Adam Fields. Adam Fields. Like Kim Kardashian? a
692
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.920
great comeback story.
693
00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:33.349
If we're going somewhere fancy, it was three squirts.
694
00:34:34.469 --> 00:34:34.869
It was.
695
00:34:40.460 --> 00:34:43.039
Anyway, drops of Jupiter.
696
00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:49.929
Me, Virginia. Cologne. Talking about cologne. East Taylor.
697
00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:55.010
Taylor would go stand with his back facing a group
698
00:34:55.030 --> 00:34:58.639
of girls hoping they would still laugh.
699
00:34:58.659 --> 00:35:02.059
Sneak out behind him. You smell it everywhere.
700
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:06.199
I'm more laughing at the innuendo than I'm.
701
00:35:06.099 --> 00:35:10.269
Laughing at the neck. I've never heard the back of
702
00:35:10.309 --> 00:35:10.690
the neck.
703
00:35:10.889 --> 00:35:11.329
I haven't.
704
00:35:11.929 --> 00:35:12.889
That's new to me.
705
00:35:13.369 --> 00:35:17.369
The two squirts.
706
00:35:17.869 --> 00:35:20.389
We say a lot of things. There's a lot of like,
707
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:22.500
There's a lot of that's what she said moments on
708
00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:25.039
this show. But usually only one of us gets the giggles.
709
00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:27.599
But that one was like. That was a little over
710
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:28.019
the top.
711
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.039
Someone said back squirts back.
712
00:35:30.260 --> 00:35:30.800
All right.
713
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:36.039
Oh, my gosh.
714
00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:37.360
Anyway.
715
00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:40.579
Any who's. How about them tigers, huh?
716
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:42.340
Everybody walk in.
717
00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:47.570
Everybody. There's college football this week. This weekend. Week zero.
718
00:35:47.809 --> 00:35:49.650
Are we doing a week zero pontoon parlay?
719
00:35:49.670 --> 00:35:50.389
Of course we are.
720
00:35:52.469 --> 00:35:55.630
So we got to have parlay and our bold predictions
721
00:35:55.650 --> 00:35:56.289
ready for tomorrow.
722
00:35:57.590 --> 00:35:59.260
Huh? Damn, dude. We got homework.
723
00:35:59.550 --> 00:36:00.429
We do have homework.
724
00:36:00.610 --> 00:36:00.949
Oh, yeah.
725
00:36:01.619 --> 00:36:03.199
Parlay and bold predictions tomorrow.
726
00:36:03.219 --> 00:36:04.840
We got special guests up here tomorrow. Special guests tomorrow.
727
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.179
Special guests tomorrow. Hold Mayo in studio. They'll be right here.
728
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:08.739
We'll catch beers.
729
00:36:08.820 --> 00:36:09.719
Respect your body.
730
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:13.219
Respect your body. He's famous. I'm nervous. We got a
731
00:36:13.219 --> 00:36:15.280
busy show. Matt, we might have to do four hours tomorrow.
732
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:16.380
We might have to do four hours. I don't know
733
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:18.019
if we can squeeze all this in. Let's do it
734
00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:18.300
all day.
735
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:18.820
We should do it.
736
00:36:19.070 --> 00:36:21.369
Do we get to charge time and a half for that?
737
00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:23.800
Do we get to charge overtime for that? Yeah.
738
00:36:25.059 --> 00:36:26.840
I mean, we could keep going on YouTube as long
739
00:36:26.860 --> 00:36:27.260
as we want.
740
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:29.519
Should we tell Hunt, like, don't worry about... Yeah, we
741
00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:31.219
got it. We ain't leaving. We're just going to go
742
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:33.340
all the way. We're not leaving. You can pull up
743
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:38.280
a chair. We could do a joint chair.
744
00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:42.389
I would love for Hunt to sit in this chair
745
00:36:42.469 --> 00:36:44.530
for this show and to see how he reacts.
746
00:36:44.550 --> 00:36:48.469
Yeah, talk about cologne application. Yeah. He'd be like, what
747
00:36:48.510 --> 00:36:50.250
about the court case? You'd be like, yeah, but what
748
00:36:50.269 --> 00:36:52.210
about two squirts in the back of your neck? That's right.
749
00:36:53.670 --> 00:36:57.800
What about the injunction? What about power? Mm-hmm.
750
00:36:59.780 --> 00:37:00.599
You got the tags.
751
00:37:02.659 --> 00:37:02.920
Woo.
752
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:06.110
A TV complaint bag. I don't know if they want
753
00:37:06.150 --> 00:37:07.530
me to read this, but I'm going to read it.
754
00:37:07.630 --> 00:37:08.710
OTB complaint bag.
755
00:37:09.190 --> 00:37:11.190
I am 35 years old and in the car with
756
00:37:11.230 --> 00:37:13.650
my 70-year-old mother, and I feel awkward like when I
757
00:37:13.670 --> 00:37:17.039
was a teenager getting driven to school and certain rap
758
00:37:17.059 --> 00:37:17.940
songs came on.
759
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:22.159
Shout out to mom, though.
760
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:23.599
Shout out, mom.
761
00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:28.070
Look, she was chuckling, too. Don't lie to us. Shout out, mom. Yeah,
762
00:37:28.110 --> 00:37:28.449
she knows.
763
00:37:29.789 --> 00:37:31.650
Ask the bitch, can I get Jake and Matt to
764
00:37:31.710 --> 00:37:33.789
inscribe cards this weekend with two squares?
765
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:36.559
I can't. You can get Taylor.
766
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:38.119
We got Two Squirt Tay-Tay over here.
767
00:37:38.139 --> 00:37:42.179
Two Squirt Tay-Tay. That's what they call him. Two Squirt Tay-Tay.
768
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:43.269
That's what everybody's calling him.
769
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:43.599
Two Squirt.
770
00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:44.440
That's what they're calling him.
771
00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:46.179
Two Squirt.
772
00:37:46.380 --> 00:37:49.780
Oh, man. There's no coming back from that.
773
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:50.119
No, you can't.
774
00:37:50.139 --> 00:37:53.519
Not in this segment. We've tried three times. Yeah, we
775
00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:57.739
should just cut it. All right. We'll go to break.
776
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:00.880
We'll be back. Hey, there was a list that was
777
00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:02.280
put up. About what?
778

No. Top 100 players in college football ranked. Are you
780

All right, welcome back in OTB. You're live from the
809
00:39:56.710 --> 00:40:00.090
Razor Cane Studio. Jake, Flynn, Alondra, two squirts all here
810
00:40:00.150 --> 00:40:02.050
with you on this Thursday.
811
00:40:02.070 --> 00:40:04.969
Almost said afternoon. It's not there yet. Morning.
812
00:40:05.849 --> 00:40:10.409
Matthew, you teased the college football player rankings, the top
813
00:40:10.409 --> 00:40:12.869
100 players ahead of the college football season.
814
00:40:13.710 --> 00:40:17.429
Where can we see the first LSU Tiger? Oh, that
815
00:40:17.469 --> 00:40:19.630
is a great question. Thank you for asking.
816
00:40:21.369 --> 00:40:23.530
I was looking at the list, and these rankings are
817
00:40:23.550 --> 00:40:25.429
always whatever. You take it with a grain of salt.
818
00:40:25.510 --> 00:40:29.389
How do you rank the top college players in the country,
819
00:40:29.429 --> 00:40:32.219
especially like 100 of them? I get like the NFL
820
00:40:32.260 --> 00:40:34.039
rankings because you're getting a lot of people different voting,
821
00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:37.000
but this is just, you know, some guy. So the
822
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:40.559
first ranking that we see for LSU, at number 80, Mr. Prince, well,
823
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:44.280
Uman Mialan comes in at number 80. Then we are
824
00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:50.440
going to go to Tredez Green sitting at 49. What
825
00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:54.250
I found interesting was there are four LSU players that
826
00:40:54.309 --> 00:40:56.329
are ranked ahead of Trey does, which, you know, I
827
00:40:56.349 --> 00:40:58.250
think trade as can be one of the most dynamic
828
00:40:58.309 --> 00:41:03.329
playmakers in the entire year. Um, so 41 wit weeks,
829
00:41:04.150 --> 00:41:06.750
then we have Ty Benefield coming to 38, Sam Levitt
830
00:41:06.789 --> 00:41:11.599
at 37. And the highest ranked LSU player is Mr.
831
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:16.980
Jordan Seton at 34, right? 34 player in the country. Um,
832
00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:20.550
give you, Kind of a breakdown of who the top
833
00:41:20.630 --> 00:41:24.650
ten on this list is. Carter Smith, offensive tackle from Indiana,
834
00:41:24.690 --> 00:41:28.670
comes in at number ten. Jaden Maiva, quarterback, USC.
835
00:41:28.690 --> 00:41:31.769
How did I say that? Did I nail that? Pretty much.
836
00:41:31.949 --> 00:41:36.510
Credit to myself. I've heard Maiva, Maiava. Maiava. Maiva.
837
00:41:36.889 --> 00:41:39.400
We're going to go with Julian Sayen at number eight, quarterback,
838
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:42.219
Ohio State. CJ Carr, quarterback, Notre Dame at number seven.
839
00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:46.469
Kawan Lacy, number six. obviously running back Ole Miss. Then
840
00:41:46.550 --> 00:41:49.590
Trinidad at number five. A little bit low for my
841
00:41:49.750 --> 00:41:50.610
liking for Mr.
842
00:41:50.650 --> 00:41:51.110
Trinidad.
843
00:41:51.869 --> 00:41:55.690
Malachi Atoni, wide receiver Miami. Colin Simmons, edge from Texas.
844
00:41:55.889 --> 00:41:59.860
Leonard Moore, cornerback from Notre Dame. And number one, Jeremiah Smith,
845
00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:01.440
wide receiver Ohio State.
846
00:42:02.099 --> 00:42:04.679
Yeah, Jeremiah Smith is somebody that people have been talking
847
00:42:04.699 --> 00:42:06.320
about for a very, very long time.
848
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:08.619
Like, he's going into his third year.
849
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:11.789
They– talked about him his freshman year when Ohio state
850
00:42:11.809 --> 00:42:13.559
won the national championship, that if he were to come
851
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:15.460
out after that year, he might've been the top overall
852
00:42:15.500 --> 00:42:17.840
pick like that kind of talk around him.
853
00:42:17.900 --> 00:42:19.780
So we'll see if he can live up to that.
854
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:24.400
I'm interested in Q on Lacey, how that one plays out.
855
00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:28.690
It's a really good player from a year ago, 1500 yards,
856
00:42:28.730 --> 00:42:33.250
I think 24 touchdowns. They're going to try to run
857
00:42:33.289 --> 00:42:35.130
the same stuff and we'll see if it can be
858
00:42:35.329 --> 00:42:36.789
as effective because.
859
00:42:36.550 --> 00:42:38.389
A part of it's hard. It's for running back.
860
00:42:38.429 --> 00:42:44.420
It's hard to be, to, put together two years like that, right?
861
00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:47.320
That was an exceptional year. I mean, is he going
862
00:42:47.340 --> 00:42:47.940
to have a good year?
863
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:49.440
Yeah. Is he going to have a great year? That's
864
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:50.599
going to be hard. It's going to be hard to
865
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:51.420
duplicate what he did.
866
00:42:52.139 --> 00:42:55.559
You said Trinidad Chambliss at five. I think you wanted
867
00:42:55.579 --> 00:42:57.460
him a little bit higher. I would have put him
868
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:02.760
at– I mean, it's hard to compare positions. That's the
869
00:43:02.780 --> 00:43:04.900
thing about these types of lists. It's hard to compare position.
870
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.159
He is ranked as the highest quarterback, which I 100%
871
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:10.960
agree with. But I think the top quarterback in the
872
00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:14.679
country should be at least in the top three players, right?
873
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:18.940
So you got Jeremiah Smith, Leonard Moore, Colin Simmons, the
874
00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:22.559
top three. Then right outside of the top ten, Dante Moore,
875
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:28.409
quarterback at Oregon. Then Arch Manning sitting at 13.
876
00:43:28.690 --> 00:43:31.849
Look at me. I called him Arch. I didn't feel right.
877
00:43:32.349 --> 00:43:33.889
I felt weird. I was dirty.
878
00:43:35.710 --> 00:43:38.550
So according to this list, and it's just one list,
879
00:43:38.989 --> 00:43:41.289
It's believed that Ole Miss has the best quarterback and
880
00:43:41.349 --> 00:43:42.190
running back in the country.
881
00:43:46.489 --> 00:43:50.659
We've talked about it. There's a chance that's true. They're awesome.
882
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:53.519
I just worry about the pieces around those two. For
883
00:43:53.539 --> 00:43:57.719
a preseason ranking, that's absolutely true. For the top quarterback,
884
00:43:57.739 --> 00:44:02.280
top running back. Preseason ranking, absolutely. He was the best
885
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:06.550
quarterback outside of Fernando this past season. Juan Lacy was
886
00:44:06.590 --> 00:44:13.679
probably the best back outside of. Jeremiah Love. So, I
887
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:17.260
like it. It does, like, from an LSU perspective, it
888
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.650
does surprise me that they have four people at LSU
889
00:44:20.690 --> 00:44:22.230
ranked ahead of Trey Dez just because I think he's
890
00:44:22.269 --> 00:44:25.110
that big of a game changer. But you looked at the,
891
00:44:25.469 --> 00:44:27.909
of this top 100 list, just to kind of give
892
00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:31.849
you a kind of a look ahead from a team
893
00:44:31.889 --> 00:44:36.110
perspective on who the most talented teams are. When we
894
00:44:36.170 --> 00:44:38.349
talk about these top players, Oregon has the most in
895
00:44:38.369 --> 00:44:41.530
the top 100, eight players. Indiana and Texas are tied
896
00:44:41.550 --> 00:44:45.949
for second with seven, which is wild because Indiana is
897
00:44:45.989 --> 00:44:48.070
pretty famous for not having any five stars, but they
898
00:44:48.110 --> 00:44:52.570
have seven players in the top 100. Then LSU and
899
00:44:52.630 --> 00:44:57.489
Texas Tech sitting at tied fourth with six, six in
900
00:44:57.510 --> 00:45:02.389
the top 100. So Indiana surprised me a little bit
901
00:45:02.650 --> 00:45:04.289
of having this many people up there.
902
00:45:05.989 --> 00:45:10.130
Indiana really bucked the system when it came to the
903
00:45:10.250 --> 00:45:11.530
blue chip ratio that.
904
00:45:11.809 --> 00:45:14.170
T-Bob used to live by. I'm like, it's stupid.
905
00:45:14.190 --> 00:45:16.429
I can't wait until somebody wins a national championship to
906
00:45:16.570 --> 00:45:17.320
get that out of here.
907
00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:20.820
Marler lives by it, too. He's been bringing it up.
908
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:27.019
I hate it. I hate it so bad. What? Blue
909
00:45:27.340 --> 00:45:29.119
chip ratio. You've got to have this amount of four
910
00:45:29.139 --> 00:45:31.599
stars and five stars. I get it because it's easy.
911
00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:37.360
It's like an easy thing to look at. Well, they've
912
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:38.619
got more talent.
913
00:45:38.699 --> 00:45:41.420
And you've got to have the right type of talent,
914
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:44.880
the right type of team makeup.
915
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:50.030
And you can overcome one, but you can't. You can
916
00:45:50.090 --> 00:45:51.320
overcome talent with the right.
917
00:45:52.849 --> 00:45:55.090
Indiana won it last year with a handful of James
918
00:45:55.150 --> 00:45:57.130
Madison players and a quarterback that came from Cal.
919
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:01.840
That's why we talked about when we talked about the
920
00:46:01.860 --> 00:46:05.500
preseason rankings, it was team rankings. It was we do
921
00:46:05.539 --> 00:46:09.190
think Indiana is a little bit, you know, it's a
922
00:46:09.210 --> 00:46:11.230
little bit underrated. And I'd like to, you know, maybe
923
00:46:11.250 --> 00:46:13.250
we can talk about this next hour. Who do you
924
00:46:13.289 --> 00:46:15.750
think has the best chance of repeating as champions?
925
00:46:16.329 --> 00:46:17.090
Indiana?
926
00:46:17.429 --> 00:46:17.590
No.
927
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:21.659
Indiana? The Seattle Seahawks. Okay. I can get behind that.
928
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:26.679
Because it's really hard to do in either league. It's
929
00:46:26.699 --> 00:46:27.039
really hard.
930
00:46:27.550 --> 00:46:29.389
All right, we got hour number three coming right back
931
00:46:29.429 --> 00:46:31.489
your way. Stay locked in to OTV.
932
00:46:32.489 --> 00:46:33.210
Off the bench.
933
00:46:34.730 --> 00:46:39.340
All right, not tomorrow, not tomorrow, but very, very soon
934
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:41.639
