Financial Group and uh Uncle ears a little more advertising hey say ears say fellas uh Jake what’s going on man uh how you feeling this morning uh feeling good uh I thought it was going to be much colder out here it’s not so that’s always good news uh it’s still

Dark we’ll talk about that later uh an NFL free agency was a buzzing yesterday there was no question about that a lot of different thoughts to get to and the NFC South got better yesterday uh fre was popping off uh and and so we’ll go

Ahead and dive in uh I myself ended up getting got a little bit by daylight savings time today uh woke up at 6:30 never a good feeling so today is going to be a very fun improvisational sort of Affair um I don’t know you made it here on time

Real world dreams the 7 o’clock radio show starts at 7 o’clock and you were here uh yeah that’s true that’s true that’s true just maybe not in the manner that I normally like to be all right um I where all my text messages go Jake okay so I I guess we’ll just

Start with maybe the biggest free agent news uh to Saints fans which is that the Atlanta Falcons have indeed found their quarterback and uh and we and we and we we talked about this last week I believe and and a couple other times that it was

Going to be more there’s more and more smoke that the Atlanta Falcons were going to go after kurk cousins to be the quarterback of their future and uh it is now official um it is a deal doesn’t it read four years 180 100 million guaranteed I think 90

Something guaranteed but um it’s right there at 100 but essentially it’s what it is it’s a two-year deal you know it’s it’s a two-year deal but still right 100 million guaranteed so Kirk o chains continues to stack cash in a way that very few have in their NFL career he has

Made a master class yeah of leveraging the fact that he’s better than like 85% of guys right and and and then and then using that leverage of teams who just desperately an upgrade like the Falcons who have weapons who have a new regime here and who really need some success

This year to get the fans back on board um leveraging these teams desperation into really highly guaranteed contracts remember he bet on himself played twice under the franchise tag in Washington he then hit the open market he goes to Minnesota but in those negotiations he

Got rid of some of the you know some of the top um dollar to get a fully guaranteed contract and now here he is once again another 100 Millie guaranteed for Kirko I think this makes the Falcons immediately better um you all know how I feel about Kurt Cousins I think he’s

Highly underrated I think he’s undervalued underappreciated now it is good to know that a team like the Falcons realizes how close they are and I heard I think it was hunt yesterday say that it was like when Derek Carr signed with the Saints you got a veteran

Team you think he’s a missing pece think you put him over the top hunt these two quarterbacks aren’t in the same category in my opinion uh I think Kurt Cousins and immediately makes you better I think you can count on him making you better more than the Saints

Could with Derek Carr did I even think Derek Carr would be better than he was yes although I wasn’t a big fan of the signing Kirt cousins is somebody that his last full you know fully healthy season he throws for 4500 yards and he throws for 29 touchdowns the year before

That 33 the year before that 35 and so even last year T-Bob in a shorten season he still was efficient he had 18 touchdowns five interceptions and was on Pace to have his highest completed percentage of his career so here’s okay if we want to dive straight into the

Kirk Carr thing though are those numbers that dissimilar from Derek Carr’s numbers and at the end of the day you’re not going to convince me I’m not trying to convince you but I’m saying but let’s also no no I don’t think Carr is a better quarterback but let’s not like

Blow up Kirk too much I mean also the problem with Kirk is he doesn’t win in the biggest moments consistently right now he did beat the Saints in the super doome in a playoff game which I’m sure everyone remembers but like Kirk hasn’t been like they had a good team in

Minnesota they they they scored number one in all the NFL PA stuff or number two it was them or uh the Dolphins I can’t remember I know that those two were ahead of everybody though like Kevin oconnell was well liked you had Justin Jefferson you had a lot of

Weapons I just um I think it makes the Falcons better but uh I I I still I mean I would still probably I think I would pick the Falcons to win the NFC South maybe with that move I mean the same in here we have like the oldest defense in

The league you’ve still got Derek Carr you got new coaches you got Dennis Allen and you have a locker room that appears to be split in a lot of ways so I’m not saying this is a boon to the Saints all I’m saying is yes this makes the Falcons

Better but I don’t know like Kirk still has to prove that he can be uh someone who can get it done in the biggest moments he’s been he’s been a good regular season quarterback and that’s what Derek Carr was Derek Carr just isn’t as good of a regular season quar

Quarterback yeah I don’t I don’t know and I think that it makes them a situation where neither of these teams is like ready probably for like the biggest moments in the postseason because I’m not sure that they can get there so the regular season’s kind of

What I’m grading it off of and this makes the Falcons a better regular season team and you start to go guy for guy position by position and signing Kurt Cousins makes this a completely different story in the off season I think of who’s the best most talented team in the NFC South

Well yeah I mean I don’t think I don’t think the saints were probably closing in on most Talent anyway they got too many problems and they’re too old um and again I I don’t think anybody has any faith in Dennis Allen whereas Raheem Morris you can say oh why do you have

Faith in him well if nothing else he’s new and this represents a second opportunity for a guy that um I had that one really good year in Tampa before it kind of fell apart but he’s grinded back to get this opportunity but even Raheem morrris even though it’s fell apart in

This second chance reaction now that we’re talking about I guess it is Dennis Allen second chance too but Raheem Morris’s first chance wasn’t as bad as Dennis Allen he at least did have that one 10 and six year in Tamp but it looked like he was going to be the next

Big thing um so actually the parallels are kind of fascinating but I would agree with you that in many ways they resemble one another maybe the Falcons are just a little more so a little a little younger um maybe with Bean Rob I mean okay how do you make sense to this

The Falcons weapons because bejan Robson seems awesome and made some real crazy highlight level plays last year why wouldn’t they play him Kyle Pitts is a physical freak so I’m deadlifting what was it like 600 or something just repping it out the other day like it was

Nothing and we all know what he was in college but why is Kyle pittz not produced like what has gone so wrong in Atlanta that you have and it’s not that the quarterback wouldn’t get him the ball like Arthur Smith wasn’t playing them and Arthur Smith supposedly knows

Offense I mean the the Steelers how about steers the Steelers are hilarious they go give me give me Arthur Smith and Russell Wilson let’s go to follow a Matt Canada I mean it’s it’s unreal how I’d be feeling if I was a Steelers fan right

Now uh but I guess what do you how do you how do you make sense of the bejan Robson and kind of Kyle pittz conundrum so Kyle pittz I don’t know I I think Kyle pittz is somebody that is a unique football player he’s not an F he’s not a

Y and I don’t know that anybody could Define what he is sometimes that can be good sometimes that can be to his detriment so they got to figure Kyle pittz out without question bejan Robinson I think it was bad coaching I think it was bad coaching you have a

Weapon you have somebody that showed you he has a certain skill set and you never played to that skill set Drake London actually did produce yeah like he’s got the numbers to go along with it so it’s a very young Corp that has really good young offensive players and now they

Have their veteran quarterback to be able to go out there and Lead those guys right and look Kurt Cousins has also shown in his career he’ll find the Superstar right he realizes the talent that He has on the field he is going to get that player the ball and so the

Falcons right now they have a lot of young offensive weapons they got to get more out of cow pits they got to get more out of bejan and Robinson Drake London just has to continue to get better but but those are three players that if they get them figured out they

Will scare you and they can change a game and so that’s why you move on from Arthur Smith you had this young Talent you didn’t feel like he was getting any value out of his player certainly not to what their standard could be because like for two of those players we saw it

Like we haven’t seen it really from Kyle Pitts but we’ve seen it from bjn Robinson and Drake London so you feel like this is the missing piece and that’s why on the first day the opening day you paid Kurt Cousins what you did now I feel more strongly than ever that

The Saints need to draft Brock Bowers and just complete the comparisons that are the Saints and the Falcons right now right you’d have Drake London versus Chris alve Alvin chra vers BJ bejan Robinson uh Kyle pittz verse Brock Bowers uh Raheem Morris verse Dennis Allen you have Ryan Williams who brought

Over a lot of old uh Saints players to be the DC I mean it’s again it feels like they’re made in some of the same ways only the Falcons are younger and so maybe have more potential upside oh and then you have cousins vers Carr which I

Do think is deeply funny that the Saints Falcons robbery like I said it’s one of the best in terms of its makeup in terms of how even it is in terms of how much the fans hate each other but it is one of the worst rivalries in all of

Professional sports in terms of the franchise histories and how uh good or mainly bad they have been for much of those histories and so what is what is the wet noodle slap fight that is this rivalry deserve a cousins verse car chapter a Dennis Allen vers Raheem Morris chapter and

Here we are let’s go dude um secret benefit to all of this and Shout out Evan sax it was his tweet I’m sure many have said this but it’s his tweet specifically that pointed this out to me uh this means there is now no chance of Jaden Daniels to the Falcons right which

Is huge I mean just absolutely wonderful nobody wanted to see that dude someone so beloved go join your Archen enemy and like what if he had gone on to have success he would have been Michael Vic 2.0 he would have been an Atlanta Phenom a US phenomenon so uh very pleased that

He will not now be uh like yeah yes I I would even though I don’t know if Jen Daniels ends up being good in the NFL I would rather lose to Kirk Cousins multiple years in a row then even take the risk of Jaden Daniels being a beast

In Atlanta that is completely fair I don’t think any of us wanted to see Jaden Dan Daniels in that uniform and doing the things that we saw like you said Mike Vic do in that uniform and just running down the field pulling away from your defensive backs and it will I

Guess it will change the quarterback Carousel and the draft because we’ve been asking the question how many would go what would the order be I still feel you know one two three are pretty certain as far as the top three guys going in the first three picks but now

It gets interesting because Denver doesn’t have to necessarily get to Seven now because they thought maybe they’d have to jump in front of the Falcons now if Denver wants a quarterback at 12 if the Giants don’t pull the trigger at six then you can kind of stay where you’re

At or at least you don’t have to move all the way up to seven maybe it’s you move up to 10 if there’s another team trying to move up in front of you so you know the quarterback Market in the draft is going to look a little bit different

And maybe it’s JJ McCarthy at 12 and then that pushes Michael fni Jr back that pushes Bo Nicks back and so it will change it uh so a massive development in the NFC South uh Baker Mayfield officially the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers uh Kirk Cousins now

Locked in with the Falcons and obviously Bryce Young’s still in Carolina which we can get to Carolina um they they seem like a kind of train wreck of an organization right now uh but if you’re Saint s listening there’s a pretty objective argument to be made that you have the third best

Quarterback in the division going into next season and it is up to uh Derek Carr and this this team this offens Saints to try and change that perception uh when we get back what do youall think get him in the chat youtube.com 1045 ESP in The Bu Ford YouTube chat you hop in

There uh get your takes in is car better cousins better who’s going to win the division are you happy you’re upset is it worth it to maybe suffer at the hands of a Kurt Cousins for a little bit if it means no Jaden no chance of Jaden

Daniels going there uh we’ll get to all this and more keep it locked right here on Off the Bench Off the Bench with Hester in T-Bob ESPN Baton Rouge New Orleans Alexandria and 11:30 the tiger 1130 the tiger cpl.org centr pl.org 925 8552 92585

Has Ryan they had their largest ever uh home opener or crowd for their home opener they’re 2-0 first in Major League rubby right now and if you’ve never been to a nola gold match secret sneaky fun to be had there a lot of hard-hitting and drinking Shenanigans so uh we’ll get

There in a little bit but Jake you know I’m in a group text with a bunch of the kids in Atlanta that I grew up with right and uh so I have put it to the group if if they happy about uh Kurt Cousins and I could already tell

Yesterday when it was announced and they seem pretty over the moon man you know this is a move where they yeah they have the feeling like this was um their kind of final piece to uh to to to put them back into the scene in a lot of ways I

Think a year of watching Desmond Ritter be the go-to starter left them feeling some type of way and if nothing else like forget about car vers cousins uh Ritter vers cousin cousins is not even close I mean you might as well have like forx your quarterback play car cousins

But that’s a different conversation bro bro stop it stop it car cousins is not nearly as bad as Ritter cousins Ritter cousins isn’t even in the same universe in terms of starter you tried to roll with somebody who uh was not whatever was the other guy right what hinei was

The other guy yes yes was there and hinei is only good well I don’t know I thought hinei maybe was good but he ended up not being good so what ever um it so it’s a huge upgrade for them in that regard certainly going for midder

The funny part is though uh I have a one of the people in the group is somebody who works in the NFL and he’s been working for the Vikings and you could tell he’s a little bitter uh because he says yeah but the NFC South sucks so does rahee Morris so does Kirk’s

Achilles tinden and so does their o line which Kirk is great but he is the worst pocket presence in the history position and is terrible under pressure again it’s a bit of an embittered uh Vikings man right there um but it’s just the other side of the coin but yeah the

Atlanta the offensive Alliance actually got some pretty good players uh the Falcons yeah um the the the Falcons fans though boots to the ground reporting seem to be happy with this move uh I don’t know yeah you are going I mean all jokes side you are going from from

Desmond Ritter yeah to Kur cousins that’s a big boy I mean Desmond Ritter last year never did anything to excite you I mean he was certainly a backend quarterback in the NFL um you know 28 29 30 somewhere like in that range yeah and that’s just because you had some awful

Quarterback situations around the league and you were going to get one year you were going to get like hey you’re a third round pick you’re not a long-term answer unless you go out there and you wow us and he didn’t wow anybody yeah and he’s um uh you know Kirk’s Kirk’s 10

10 anywhere in that 8 to 12 range I would say in the NFL so yeah that’s like a that’s that’s a huge massive upgrade um the some of the other winners in free agency yesterday you wonder one of the reasons why the 2019 LSU team was so

Good uh we know about Joe burrow of course we know about Jamar Chase we know about Justin Jefferson we know about all those guys Clyde wi Super Bowls how about this yesterday Damen Lewis signs a 4-year 53 million doll deal with the Carolina Panthers and Lloyd cushenberry signs a four-year $50 Mill million

Dollar deal with the Tennessee Titans that o line continues to be one of the more un I mean and I know it’s weird to call them underrated because they won the Joe Moore right but 2019 had such overwhelming sexy bombastic stats and skill stars that you don’t you don’t really appreciate that

Oh no okay you had two dude two linan that just got paid 50 million a piece on there yeah and these aren’t first round picks I mean these are guys that wouldn’t earn that money and they they have been consistent their entire careers like like d is somebody that is

One of the better guards in the entire NFL and Lloyd certainly playing the uh Center position has been somebody that has been top 10 at the position his entire time so no these are welld deserved and man so happy for both guys but Lou cushenberry being a guy from

Right here I mean 50 million with 26 million guaranteed Dam at signing 26 million so all all of that team like that that entire team like you look at like Grant delit playing incredibly well Patrick Queen playing incredibly well I mean look at these two offensive linemen

That are getting paid we know Joe we know Jamar we know Jets like all these guys are playing stingly playing incredibly well yeah right and like you know Clyde Edward Z is the only one and Clyde looking for an opportunity to get a starting job back and he’s going to be

Agent he’s going to get signed to a second contract and so that’s like when we like start having that argument of like 2020 Alabama 2019 LSU I’m like look look at the players that they had like the year that Alabama had was a different year it was a year in which

They handled better than anybody else yeah Asos but you start to look at this 2019 team and who they are at the next level like you gonna go Joe burrow or M Jones yeah like which one you going to go so like this is fall off you’re going

To go Devonte Smith or any of the LSU receivers ter Marshall’s the only one that he’s better than um I’m try are there any other o lineman is sadik still in the leag Le yeah commanders if I’m not mistaken andul deculus is on a roster right now oh

Really yeah he signed to the practice squad BR there’s no way deck is still holding it down I feel like his body’s just got to be I mean he played A million college games dude yeah with a NEC roll uh shout out Austin decula still holding down so who am I missing

Who’s the last starting guard who am I disrespecting who am I disrespecting here who who is the other starting guard we had Deon deck on the outside Adrian McGee and who do he rotate with because he ended up kind of taking over the job for the most part but

Remember there was a lot of trying to repace him maybe it was Branford at the beginning of the year uh is McGee in the league I don’t know either way shout out to that offensive line and shout out to Adrian McGee for the double kill shot against Vandy that year that was awesome

Uh Jake was there any other uh NFL free agency news that really stood out to yesterday speaking of guards it felt like guard was one of the big Winners yesterday I feel like that’s a position that traditionally kind of gets maybe ignored in favor of tackle but it makes

Sense in that if you have a great guard well two things first I’ve always thought that a great guard is the key to really improving your running game um like kind of the key there but but also the impact that they can have is wide ranging because they’re going to be on

Constant combo blocks with the center and they’re going to be constantly helping out with the tackle as well it feels like guards getting a little more value this free agency cycle yeah and as Taylor reminds us it was Ed Ingram that he rotated with thank you that duh okay

I knew I was missing something in the league as well with the Vikings there uh so and Bradford’s in the league by the way too and I think he was a freshman if I’m not mistaken I don’t know he was the only one that we were like had any

Potential out of the backups it felt like uh all those guys are in the NFL it’s uh incredible uh yeah gar was a big winner but you’re you’re bearing the lead running back um running back was a big winner oh yes I so I didn’t see the

Numbers but I love their Landing spots you got Austin Eckler two years uh up to 11 million so it tells you pretty incentive Laden deal there for him you had Gus Edwards going to the Chargers you had Barkley going to the Eagles you had going to the Bears I mean you had a

Ton of movement for running back in day number one and that Josh Jacobs went to the Packers say Jacobs to the Packers and Barkley to the Eagles are the two that’s like oh oh wow cuz they’re going to be out to they’re like finally incompetent organizations and they are

Going to be out for blood you had so Joe Mixon got released by the Bengals and they signed Zach Moss I mean there was a ton of movement there I think the Packers they let go of Jones so I mean running back so this was a good

Class for free agent running back and so like like those deals I guess don’t shock me how quickly they got done that is surprising considering how we’ve talked about the running back position and being devalued but it also probably tells you how they feel about the running back class in the draft they

Don’t feel like there’s an rb1 from day one type of guy in the draft there’s a lot of good running backs that maybe potentially Blake korm and others they could be that but when you have this kind of movement that tells you that they don’t think they can go get a guy

That can replace their veteran starter that they’re losing or not wanting to pay and so that’s why you have all this movement here’s one thing that’s interesting to me running back’s position nowadays Jake or at least whatever I’m just thinking about this like kind of freestyling off top of my

Head here uh back in the day you could sign a running back that could be your engine to a championship right be it um like a Marshall Faulk an EMT Smith like they could be basically the quarterback and that they could they could bring you a championship now it feels like running

Back’s greatest value at least if you’re Beast like you might not be able to make a bad team good but if you go on a good team you can make them great and I think that’s where Jacobs becomes so exciting for a Packers team that is Young and has

A quarterback that looks like he’s got it figured out the Eagles obviously I mean I know how they ended last year but they were still 10 and one like I don’t understand what the hell happened in the collapse because they were still really good and now you had Sequon Barkley that

Cuz I’ve seen Sequon Barkley make a Giants team pretty damn okay that that that otherwise should not have been it didn’t have great quarterback play now you give him Jaylen Herz to team up with like yeah I think I I think those are huge moves uh for both the for both the

Eagles and the Packers yeah and then Tony Pard went to the Titans that’s another running back he got three years 24 million so just another running back to add to the mix there how I’m sure Taylor would have a take on I’m sure he hates in he hates everybody that plays

For the Cowboys even though he likes the Cowboys which one of those running back moves though T-Bob do you like the most because you’re right like these are good players going to different organizations that they feel like they are going to be in a different spot in their career like

Josh Jacobs are the Packers that that’s me that that’s where I’m at because the Packers what the Packers already ate like a $40 million cap hit last year still made the playoffs with the youngest roster in the NFL Jordan love figured out down the stretch was one of

The best quarterbacks in the NFL down the stretch and now you give him maybe the what what Josh Jacobs top three he’s top five back I think top five there go five running back in the entire league like yeah that who who’ the Packers have last year running back there was either

AJ Dylan and then they had uh what Aaron Jones yeah that’s what I’m saying bro I mean no like this is I feel like that’s a huge win the I would say Eagles if they hadn’t had that just complete and utter collapse and know they’ve lost

Jason Kelce and so the Eagles still even though Landon Dickerson got paid yesterday but uh but but Josh Jacobs and the Packers yeah that’s the one that I think is the best oh this is tough oh cuz I saquin Barkley is somebody that like you’re just waiting

For the explosion like and you haven’t really seen it to the level that we thought we would when he got drafted so high and he’s shown flashes but he’s never but I also take a look at win rate on the offensive line the Giants last year 31st in the NFL the Eagles first

Now they do lose Jason Kelce you’re right but I mean that for him still got Milada they still got Dickerson they still got uh who’s the other tackle one blanking uh it doesn’t matter their offensive line going to be great uh Lane Johnson yes thank you God just just

Think about like him he’s probably like back there dot in the eye like oh God these are dudes I get to run behind say the Giants are incompetent the Raiders are the literal NFL definition of incompetent yeah uh and so I I think both those guys have to feel like they

Pong at 7: a.m. so um yeah upstanding extremely F family uh friendly you know an hour two hours before the game our guys that are not rostering that week are also playing flag rugby and uh flag rugby with with the kids in the Outfield so uh you can bring your kids I mean

What a better babysitting thing right drop your kids off in the Outfield and go get some beers while the players are playing play rugby out there you know with them so uh they’re baned every single time you know before the game and at halftime and like you said your boy

Danny I stand in the back of the End Zone A lot of times for the game get that ho back to you and there’s Danny right there he’s probably hear me uh hear me barking the whole game so Danny’s been uh Danny’s been awesome out there uh video videoing for us yeah and

It’s uh I mean guys again it is it is fun dude like it it it fills that big hitting football need in fact I remember I just I can’t really fathom doing it Jake I remember going and watching and these dudes are just battling the amount

Of like broken collar bone just no pad smashing one another uh wait so Ryan what made what what’s uh what’s kind of like who should we be on the lookout for What’s led to the early season success here who are the dogs on this team yeah

Well I think first also Cory Brown our new head coach you know he’s come on as a new head coach coming over from New Zealand he’s been he was a hot kamti for a while he was coaching the World Cup uh for Georgia Georgia the country that is

And uh he was on the rise and uh we were able to scoop him up and the clarity he gives preparation uh he’s you know overall Clarity preparation the game plan I mean every single week in week out I think every guy knows exactly what to do

Exactly what their role is where they’re contributing and he executes and he’s just like you know just ice water in his veins you know never too high never too low just Ste Yeti and he’s been you know it’s been outstanding plus the players that we’ve added has been has been

Awesome Jonah Mau is uh you know he’s right there probably gonna get he got team the week for the first week he’ll probably get it again today when they announced it he’s up he’s he’s a guy that can be up there for Player of the Year in the whole league you know so

From New Zealand as well um yeah we’re excited the guys are guys are playing physical they’re playing fast they’re playing violence it’s you know it’s real fun for the fans like you said even if you don’t know every single rule about rugby two hours non-stop action yeah 40

Minutes there’s a halftime 40 minutes and like you just said that game that you came back to back in the day Bob atw I think uh you know we woned on kind of like a walkoff awesome Yes it it was it was like a last second touchdown right

Or a try right before the clock ended it was it was it was like an incredible game it was and I had bunch of fans that were charging the field and I remember kind of pretty much getting form tackle from behind and I looked up and it was your

Dad that was a fun day man the VIP experience was incredible uh all the players from both teams then coming over and like Warriors after a battle having beers together it’s one of my favorite rugby Traditions um Ryan okay real quick because we got but real quick here

You’ve put this team together how do you engage in kind of global scouting and getting these guys to New Orleans yeah it’s a it’s a process for sure it’s an never ending because with all the leagues around the whole world you know there’s not like football for

Example is a pretty pretty much of a you know you know the exact same time of year right you know August to you know till December September to December you know as far as high school college or all the same yeah well rugby a lot of times throughout the world as well

Especially obviously over in New Zealand you know there’s different times where there’s different leagues so even though right now we’re two games into our season you’re already starting to look you know starting to you’re still continuing the recruits and Scouts and everything that for next year so um yeah

Just relationships you build with you know other players other agents other coaching staffs from leagues around the whole world when a guy’s coming off a contract when a guy’s available uh telling them about our culture here obviously going from you know Shaw High School and now that’s the gold mine

Which obviously around the league is one of the best you know one of the best full full facility stadiums in the whole league we’re there day in and day out we’re not just playing our eight home games there we’re there every day our gym is there wow lcmc yeah lcmc medical

Is our our staff so our front office is there ticket sales the merch store so that’s a very very big recruiting piece using the gold mine um and then obviously also now we’re going into year four of the collegate draft so every August there is an actual college draft

Just like the NFL just like NBA Etc so um and the college season’s going on right now so all those seniors uh will be uh entering uh into the college draft come August so um yeah long pathway but a lot of times it’s building relationship sh with you know players

That spread the word and sometimes you know just like anything the player that is currently on the roster is the best voice for you know uh because as he recruits his buddies back up puts in a word here puts in a word there um it’s good when you’re you know you know try

To like I said culture and treating everybody well always helps and stadium and City of New Orleans does a great job of it as well hell yes Ryan well okay free Jacks in New England this week and then in Dallas against the jackals and returning home against the hounds out of

Voice son like that’s you you hear that voice that’s the man you want to tackle for um you know who I want to tackle all these people coming out against Kim mili bro I don’t know I don’t know what’s going on and to be fair I don’t know

Exactly how I would would feel if she wasn’t the coach at the school and if I didn’t know her through getting to talk to her every week here and had a completely Fallen head over heels with her toughness her leadership her her swag all this other sort of stuff um

Like I don’t know maybe I’d feel different I don’t think I would but I’m willing to say maybe I would but that ain’t the reality I live in I I live in the one where we do get to talk to coach M every week yeah and where I have

Watched her bring a national championship to the school that I support and cover and and I do have insight into how she treats her players and how much they love her and uh the the just unparalleled ability to play Confident and flashy and to be yourself and not hide your personality under a

Bushel I don’t know when the hell everybody got so soft I mean you got Mark Titus and Brandon Walker up here sitting here and saying like it’s just ridiculous that she would say and and and mark Titus I she has zero wins me zero wins what what about the what is it

Three or four national championships at this point four National CH zero wins what are you talking about and then Brandon Walker look I know Mississippi State women’s basketball that’s all y’all got y’all can’t get over LSU now but like you don’t got to be that salty

But I I just I I again it’s it’s one of those deals where why are we treating the women’s game with such kid gloves nobody acts all affronted and all uh clutching pearls and and all just freaked out whenever men fight I I I I don’t understand I love and Coach M was

Trying to say you know pick on someone your own size but guess what go after Angel Reese cuz she’ll beat your ass she’s a badass and that’s the point it’s a team full of badasses and I love it and I say lean into it I think Kim also W one ainger pointed

Out as a player at Louisiana Tech as well yes so there’s another championship for her I don’t get it either T I just I I don’t understand it uh what happened you know in this game and I’m glad they officiated the game the way that they did because these two teams don’t like

Each other these are two of the best teams in the country and I didn’t want a whistle Fest now did it get to a point where it was one step too far at the end you got a 20 minute delay in the game yeah sure and I hate I hate that if

These two teams play again it is going to be a whistle Fest they aren’t going to allow them to get anything by like it’s going to be the first shove and it’s going to be whistles tax the whole deal yeah so I hate that because up

Until the point it’s going to be way less that’s how that game should have been played yeah and so now it’s not going to be now it’s going to be far less enjoyable and yeah like every single take and from people that we uh enjoy as well uh hour two of OTB next

8:30 today so look forward to that tell your friends tell everybody uh going to hear from coach herself and um yeah I mean look we touched on it yesterday I don’t know why the hive mind uh has decided to hate coach muli I think there’s a hefty element of people

Who um like to decide uh how they view their entire worldview through politics and even though I don’t think we fully know anybody’s like her politics uh people have decided that they do and if they disagree with him they like everything like whatever you you have

People and I hate to be the both sides person because even that tire conversation get so tired uh but there’s just people all over the place now they just Define every interaction they have with the real world through their political lens right and and there’s not

A lot of give either way and they’re not going to support anybody who feels the other way and online especially maybe on something like Twitter it maybe tends to lean uh I would say left and so you just have large SAS of the internet that are

Like ah Co smoke is this or that which again I think and light of her actions her resume uh what she’s accomplished is absurd but whatever FM you know middle fingers to everyone what’s the old uh Jay-Z line middle finger to the Lord gripping my balls that’s how I feel

About everybody hating on Coach Moi miss me that’s my queen Natty Champs suck at South Carolina you may have beat a 16 in a row but you didn’t lift the Trophy last year did you you freaking bums cuz you blew it you know who did it LSU and

Guess who you’re going to have to deal with come tournament time LSU you won the SEC tournament who cares it means nothing did that give you a birth get the hell out of here you better you you I know the Gamecock don’t want to see

See LSU again I know that for a fact it’s hard to beat a good team 17 times in a row okay that is all that is a sports truth a basic Sports truth yeah 16’s to cut off lucky number 17 coming up next in the toury oh it is

Hard to beat a good team three times in a year it is it is very much so you the thing about it though honestly is and she’ll tell us this in 30 minutes she doesn’t care no coach M npe couldn’t care less about the things that are

Being said like all she cares about is winning basketball games and her team loves her and her team supports the school supports her and she is she’s like the the coach Sabin the Coach K of the world right bill self’s got some of this now that Kansas is winning national

Championships I’m sure skip Bertman probably dealt with this as well from other schools winning all those national championships when you’re that successful when all you do is win when you win championships as a player and as a coach people are going to be jealous of the success that you had and they’re

Going to want to be you they’re going to want to be your program and just they’re not and and coachi continues to grow like she did it at Baylor now she’s doing it at a school right that never got past that final four point now they made it five straight years which was

Incredible but as she said like those final four banners that’s not what we’re shooting for we’re shooting for National Championship so she’s successful everywhere she goes as a player coach I’ve already said it so some of it is because of that I think as well yeah so

Uh Fu nerds that’s how I feel about it you you know and you know what you can catch these hands too cordoza come come go go after Angel Reese next time pick on someone your own size going after FL get the hell out of here dude now now

Now F’s brother you got to chill bro can’t be coming out St can’t be coming out the court can’t that’s that’s crazy that’s crazy doing that that that ain’t good either okay that ain’t helping the cause whatsoever and I feel you I feel you remember my little brother was the

Literal first ever victim of a targeting call in NCAA history it was Nichols Oregon to open the season it was an 11 a kickoff early early kickoff and he went to slide and got lit up under the chin knocked the hell out and uh yes I almost

Fought someone in the STS okay so I feel you like I know fighting somebody stands I know that emotion I had to get out of there I I ran up the ramp as the cops were coming down and uh snuck to a different part of the stadium to watch

The rest of the game so I feel you I feel you but you can’t run on the court okay we just if you do it in the stand that’s like gentlemen you know um that’s what you were doing yeah yeah this dude god dude still piss me off he’s trying

To tell me he’s like an undercover cop and stuff too whatever bro stupid ass organ fan cool you’re under cool at a football game against Nicholls yeah you’re cheering the Nicholls quarterback that just got knocked out cold on a cheap shot you bum uh My Little Brother played for the colonels swords up

Actually I lot of fun hanging out with all the colonels players um over the uh over the weekend at the bach party although they’re just an absolute group of wild cards I mean you know how from everywhere yeah and especially because they played at a time when Nicholls wasn’t that good and

So you know I’m not they they still worked their butts off they did everything everybody else does but they also went hard off that I you know what I’m saying yeah it was it was just a hard hard uh it was it was uh play hard

Work card you know and uh we we we had that over the weekend as well did we have an amalgamation of accents going on oh yeah oh yeah a little bit of everything you know kids from Atlanta um uh kids from all over down the B you

Know all all all swas of south Louisiana uh I’m trying to think am I missing no I’m actually no I guess it was actually just really Georgia Georgia and all throughout Louisiana but yeah North South I me you know throughout Louisiana you can have four different accents minimum um Bilbo says nickel students

Are probably the most tame of all Louisiana students oh that’s not my experience going to rockes let’s think let’s think uh but I don’t know that’s may maybe that’s yours you know we’re all you know we’re all just products of our of what we’ve actually had happen I

I don’t know that I would say Nichols that hell no certainly not Northwestern State either uh Louisiana Tech was a drive parish for a long time and so maybe maybe Louisiana Tech yeah uh though I mean look I guess it’s one of those deals where at any college kids

Are just parting their ass off 247 pretty much you know unless it’s like BYU or Davidson um what’s Davidson I know what it is that’s a that’s like a so I went to a very I went to a church of Christ high school and we were basically like a

Feeder school to I think like Davidson and like Samford and just I think they’re like Church of Christ colleges shout out to for they punched your a ticket last night in the big dance oh there you go yeah hell yeah 26 and four or something like that on the Year good

Team um Louisiana uh Louisiana College has turned into Louisiana Christian alre that does not count uh I mean I guess it does though right uh I mean Gul South says n loyal students are kind of boring I don’t know I don’t know I’m not getting I’m not getting involved in this

Fight because any any school you say he’s gonna have somebody who went there who is a party animal and is gonna feel disrespected so do your thing guys enjoy all your Ben drinking just stay safe J school again that didn’t count uh count that’s private skools don’t count um

Used to have a okay uh okay back focus focus uh any no Nicholls is not born centinary and shreport might be that might be a good answer it’s it’s a hard school to get into uh academics just came back so it was all focused on um ReliOn before that Oh I thought you

Saying oh okay never mind never mind no I don’t think it’s a religious school um I thought you said Seminary no centinary ah okay sary centinary um all right let’s uh let’s revisit NFL free agency a bit just kind of reset the show uh in case you missed

It Kurt Cousins signing with the Atlanta Falcons we talked about a lot to open the show the Falcons and Saints now have a kind of a fascinating amount of parallels with one another only maybe the Falcons are a bit better in those parallels uh you know they’re like everyone else only

More so I mean you have cousins and Carr two quarterbacks that have been on the edge but cousins objectively better than cousins career records like 78 72 and I think car’s like 70 something and 80 something so so cousins with the better career record better career numbers as

Well um both still kind of looking for that playoff success you have Raheem Morris and Dennis Allen two head coaches that did not do well in their first stop but have gotten a second chance um Raheem Morris probably has the higher upside as of now because we don’t

Exactly you know he hasn’t had a chance like Dennis Allen has gone and proven that he’s still Dennis Allen uh we haven’t seen how much Raheem Morris has grown since he got that job at what like 30 years old or something back in the day it was absolute Insanity uh you but

You have Alvin CRA versus bjn Robinson two running backs think can still be really good but bejn you know probably got the higher upside uh and then you could even say like a drake London and a Chris olve um and if you get like a brock Bowers well then all of a sudden

There it’s it’s it’s him and Kyle Pitt so uh Atlanta getting better are they the best team in the South or is it still the Bucks the Bucks Trad one they’re starting Corners to the Lions so they’ve got a couple of holes Devon White’s probably not going to sign back there

Obviously I don’t know Mike evans’s coming back feels huge for them uh I think this is one of those ones I’d like to revisit after the draft because the Falcons now at 8 they become far more interesting because now we don’t really know and it could be a pick where

Depending on who Falls to them like I I think they could use another weapon on offense if you want to go all in on that side of the football since you’re paying KT cous this amount of money so like if they if if they get a Dallas Turner on

Defense that’s what I say because offense it’s going to be such a run on quarterbacks and then receivers you got to imagine there’s going to be some value to be had defensively there’s an if Dallas Turners there are or whatever Edge rusher they have as their you know

One a one b and that player’s there I can certainly see them making a move because they’ve got some okay pieces on the defensive line but they’re all older right so they got to get they got to get younger at that position so Taylor’s doing a good job of compiling some St

Here and it basically shows exactly what we’re talking about that Kirk is they’re they’re similar but Kirk is better in pretty much every category than D car so last year alone cousins or is is this is this last year how many games did cousins missed last year though no so I

I did it like that’s what they average for their career like touchdowns to interceptions per year cousins is 28 touchdowns to 10 picks a year cars 2410 uh cousins Playoff records one and four cars is 0 and one uh cousins had four excuse me seven 4,000 yard seasons cars had four

Um they each have six double digigit pick Seasons uh cousins has a career completion percentage of 67 cars 65 um cousins has 91 fumbles to cars 87 cousins has taken 300 to four sex and cars 295 but then maybe most importantly cousins is 7870 and two two ties that’s

Funny uh and Carr is 72 and 87 so that’s really the big difference there I mean that’s a you know that’s that’s a pretty hefty difference in terms of win loss but um yeah like I said it’s kind of like car but more so and and more consistent

Uh we’re gonna I’m again I’m excited to enter the car cousins portion of the storied Falcons Saints rivalry it it is it is kind of what this rivalry has always uh deserved in a lot of ways so if you’re the Atlanta Falcons te and and you look at their roster you look at

Some of the pieces that they have which player do you think has to be much better than he was in the past coaching regime for the F Falcons to maybe go up another level because we talked about it they’ve got talented players they’ve got guys you drafted high but they’re still

Looking for some of those guys to hit their full stride yeah I mean this is just uh chalk but it’s got to be Kyle pittz it just in that he is such a physical freak he’s such an outlier like how you can’t find ways to consistently produce with him and maybe

It’s not on the coaches you know like maybe it is on him right like I’m not saying that he’s for sure awesome but he was so good in college and again he’s such a physical freak that something that you cannot teach like I have to Fathom that with better quarterback play

Somebody could put him in matchups where he could consistently win and you could find him well Morris takes the job his first thing that he he said was if at Atlanta had better quarterback play last year I wouldn’t be here oh wow oh that’s a that’s a good line that’s actually a

Really good line so that kind of tells you what he thought about the quarterback how if you’re Desmond Ritter and you see that like damn well I’m not gonna be the guy a going be me so maybe if you’re a Falcons fan that gives you hope Cal pittz last year 53 catches 667

Yards only three touchdowns only 12.6 yards per catch for a normal tight end wouldn’t be bad but for a Kyle pitch you expect that number to be higher you certainly expect was that last year’s numbers alone yeah okay that’s actually more productive than he felt from the

Outside looking in you know like if you’re going to tell me he goes for 53 660 and three tou with Ritter in their quarterback situation I’m like okay well cousins makes him kind of significantly more exciting so his rookie year T he had 68 catches over 1,000 yards

1,26 15.1 yards per catch and again only one touchdown though is that with Matt Ryan then had to be right Matt Ryan was retired last year he was a cult in 20 was it 2022 that he was a cult I don’t remember but who who else would it have

Been though nobody else played quarterback well enough for the Falcons to get pits to a thousand yards so there you go Kurt Cousins is not full on Matt Ryan’s level but he’s closer to that so yeah he did that rookie certainly at that point in his career like the thing

About Kurt Cousins is like early in his career like he was sitting behind RG3 he got a chance to play but like some of his best years have come in the last three years so like he’s still a quarterback that’s true I don’t know how much longer because as we talk about all

The time like one day it just drops off it feels like in the NFL but this will be like at minimum like even with the quarterback play that he got that year from Matt Ryan you would think and so he did have a was that marota throwing to

Him that year oh it could have been marot that’s that’s what fitzgeral texted me just now sh marot uh maybe it was marota either way uh the years that Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan were Colts are all like a big blur Philip was actually kind of a dog though he had him

They had Buffalo beat in the playoffs yeah uh the one thing about cousins is he is coming off that Achilles you know and he’s the type of guy where he grinds it out you know like you don’t got to worry about him not correctly I don’t know

That he ever is grinded um well Oh you mean his rehab yeah oh oh I’m sorry uh I don’t know bro that’s true chain out there chains if you’re in a musical theater he probably likes to dance a bit more they were giving him credit for that’s true Kirk’s

Gonna be eating wings at Magic City living life bringing the boys out bro I can’t wait till Kirk gets caught in Magic City with like four women tatted up shamps popping all all he needed was to get down South for a little culture yeah I mean he was in DC at first you

Know a lot of a lot of cameras there so many political things going on you can’t really get away everybody knows everybody’s secrets in DC and then you go to Minnesota nobody really doing that in Minnesota no no but this is the ATL well now he has hundreds of millions of

Dollars too we yeah yeah uh I wonder what his total oh his total number has got to be let’s go KIRO actually not really no I can’t like you anymore even though I kind of liked you from the Netflix documentary all right when we get back um a quick segment and then

Been doing this sh I’ve been doing this 11 years now bro okay relax we got 21 years of experience up here you know radio professionals local radio that’s Regional I tell you all the time that’s why I woke up at 6:30 today and came here 20 you know got here a minute

Before the show started oh no come on you were like bro it ain’t look it ain’t on it ain’t on me I had look I had when I I had the weirdest dreams last night I had a series of what I would describe as nautical nightmares so no Bengal dreams

Uh no Bengal dreams I don’t understand them I swear I dreamed two or three horror movies that were all set on the high seas one of them kind of had like a dark comedic element we were uh we were basically on like an old like Titanic

Type ship a ton of people ton of families ton of kids and all of a sudden this one kid uh starts doing kind of like you know messed up Child’s Play start stuff like I step and all of a sudden I get stabbed by uh this this

This this pen like almost like a tack like a like a needle I’m like what the heck and then I’m looking around this kid’s been planting face up needles all over the place next thing I know all the kids start to go crazy on the boat and they’re doing Uber violent stuff like

They’re killing people all over the place and so I’m sitting there and I’m just punting him I’m talking like 8 to 11y olds kicking him in the face throwing him over the edge just insane and we got a 10day voyage ahead of us we can’t get off the boat and we’re just

Having to beat up all these kids the entire time it was weird dude it was weird that one again kind of funny um the other one not worth explaining because you know dreams are never worth explaining but I I I I think I dreamed what could be a really good horror movie

To the point where when I woke up I sat there for about about 10 minutes I guess I actually like 6:10 somewhere around there because I sat there for about 10 minutes and rode it all out so that I don’t forget it it was uh it was some

Weird stuff man so you got like a little screenplay going I I I have the ending of a movie I couldn’t I could I I got I got to figure out the runup but I have I have the ending of a horror movie uh

That that I can see so very clear it was just a weird night man one of those nights where you wake I woke up sweating multiple times didn’t it um didn’t really feel that restful of sleep I don’t know why normally that that’s why I don’t take melatonin normally that’s

What happen but I didn’t take melatonin I don’t know I don’t even know why I was dreaming about boat so much just a lot of boat dreams no idea yes I I would ask that question but I’d also ask what made me dream of punting kids into the water

No idea these kids were just being evil and scary as hell dude it was self-defense I I mean again it’s funny to think about the visuals of of of punting all these little 10-year-olds but at the time I was legit Ely scared like I woke up again I woke up sweaty

Um I’ll tell you what though I took down a lot of kids you know what I’m saying bro they didn’t get me they didn’t get me I I I woke up before I died in that dream I’m pretty sure in the last one I

Ended up dead but I kind of f my way out of hell into heaven uh really yeah I thought that was the thing yeah I thought you couldn’t die in your dreams yeah I mean in my last dream I definitely buy the the end of it

Realized that I had been dead for a while now but I had made it to sixense type kind of like kind of like kind of like something like that yeah were’re somewhere along the line or or maybe that’s just my interpretation of it I don’t know because I I don’t know I

Don’t know it doesn’t matter those kids were asking for it though Eric I agree they were asking for it dude they were doing crazy stuff crazy stuff that little creepy kid putting those putting those needles facing up so that people step on him get the hell out of here

Dude get off the boat I just remember feeling very anxious I I was like oh my God I’m going to have to fight these kids for 10 days before we get to the new world or wherever the hell we were sailing before we get to Port I’m going

To have to fight these little zombie kids yeah these old zombie kids for 10 days what are we gonna do oh no um the Bilbo tbop shirt tucked in level put press I didn’t want to witness I in my golf attire dude he’s golfing later today he uh he took off of his

Kim Moi fresh off a uh SEC tournament which the Tigers fought their way to the championship and a fly to South Carolina but uh a good showing a short-handed tough showing out of the Tigers coach mki what’s going on how we feel on this Tuesday well we feel good we are off

Yesterday we’re off today we’re off tomorrow and we’ve got POA doing better she’s recovering little by little angels ankles getting better Michaela’s kind of been clear to go play a little bit so getting them all healthy and we were very proud or I was very proud we played

In the championship for the first time since I’ve been at LSU yeah I mean coach it’s you continue to kind of tell the future here right I mean your goal each year has been one game better than last year and once again that ends up happening uh one thing I was struck by

Though in that postgame uh press conference with you and Angel I was struck by the confidence out of you two I mean you going so far as say I mean I wish we could crank this tournament up tomorrow now I know the break is very beneficial healthwise uh but what is it

That you’re seeing out of your team right now that has you feeling uh so good heading into the most important part of the calendar I think we’re playing our best basketball right now I think that we’ve improved tremendously on the defensive end of the floor I

Think we’re all kind of on the same page I hate that we’ve had the couple of uh injuries with POA and it’s not really an injury with Michaela I just chose to be very proactive uh and not play her for fear that you know her foot was hurting

Her and um you know tweaked ankles people play with that all the time and that’s what Angel did she rolled her ankle a little bit but it’s just you watch Improvement you watch how they interact with each other you watch that confidence grow and I just I feel really good uh we were

Short-handed and you you get you get concerned that you’re going to run out of fire Firepower but we really didn’t we ran out of time that’s it we didn’t run out of fire we ran out of time coach was there anything from the first game of South Carolina to the second game

Against South Carolina that you noticed that was different about your team because they certainly came out and there was that confidence that we’re talking about against that team I don’t think there’s any question about it they want to go toe-to-toe with that Squad yeah I do I think a big difference

Was turnovers we didn’t turn the ball over at critical moments we did have turnovers uh but it was it was just you just competed in the Heat of the Moment you make a shot here they miss a shot here you do this you do that it’s usually the difference in the game and

They made the shots and the plays to win it and we were just right there and um and we were in that same predicament at in Baton Rouge but we were just I think we were playing on adrenaline because we were home it was a different feel you’re

Really basically on their Court in their backyard and you’re shorthanded and you put up that kind of fight man that that felt good it was it was just a good good time to leave there and go this is a great way to head into to postseason and some teams head into

Postseason on the high and playing good and some you can kind of see aren’t and I just feel like we’re one of them that that’s playing really good right now and uh coach you know how we feel I loved what went down uh Sunday in terms of

Toughness in terms of taking no crap in terms of having your teammates back uh and I know that you are someone who does not engage with the outside noise um I know right now everybody’s saying oh how could she say that about cordoza and know um coach do you I mean do do

You stand by what you said in terms of like you know basically pick on someone your own size you guys want me to keep commenting on that little I call it I don’t even know what you call it I don’t call it a fight I didn’t

See any thank you see that’s what I’m talking about yes I I didn’t see any fist blown or anything like that um um we we’ve gotten a little soft coach I feel I I I I just you know I kind of feel like Don Staley does you

Know uh she said it best you know things like that happen uh she wasn’t going to get on her PL players so um I certainly wasn’t getting on my players uh for anything it just happened and you keep playing and you move on it’s it’s An Occurrence that happens

Guys in sports I mean it’s maybe it’s because we’re women it’s not okay that that’s that’s actually what I was that’s what I was kind of wanted to ask you about because to me I agree you see that having a guys game it’s no big deal doesn’t make headlines everybody moves

On um do you think this is still just a function of the women’s game kind of growing and and people having to accept that hey man it’s competition like it’s gonna get nasty it should get chippy it should get physical I’ve said it many times the attraction to our team is

Tough beautiful women that play their hearts out and tough is a comp and um I don’t know T Bob I guess I grew up in a world around Dixie Youth Baseball and pony league baseball and playing with the guys and pick up games it’s that’s that’s just what it was and

And I guess TV social media and all that I guess I don’t I can’t find any other thing that draws as much attention but it happens on the men’s side and we move on right yeah and certainly in a rivalry game coach I mean LSU South Carolina you know this I mean y’s

Programs have the same goal and y’all want to go win national championships and you’re two of the best teams in the country and so like when you have a rivalry situation I know when I played against the Florida Gators I knew what it was going to be I knew it was going

To be 60 Minutes of us going back and forth and there was going to be a little extra because of who the opponent was and like some of that just going to come when you have two great teams that are trying to go for the same goal and

Actually have a goal that they both can achieve well the last two national championships have come from the SEC and anybody that watched that game itself had to think wow these have to be two of the top teams of the country we already know South Carolina undefeated

Ranked number one we started the year ranked number one uh we had a few hiccups and we we’ve grown and gotten better but we’re still defending national champions until somebody takes it away so there’s a great um narrative on each side and um there’s nothing what

I would say personal I I don’t I just compete it doesn’t matter if my my daughter’s coaching on the other side or who’s coaching on the other side you’re taught as competitors just to lay it all out there and um that’s what we’re going

To do and and coach and in the runup to the South Carolina game I mean there was obviously the big old Miss win uh but I felt like the Auburn game was pretty symbolic in that that’s a team that got you one time uh gave you a damn good

Fight the second time and here you sit with this kind of postseason rubber match of sorts okay let’s settle this once and for all uh I felt like your team made a pretty emphatic statement that okay it’s it’s it’s time you know this is we we we’re peing at the right

Time I think you set a Mouf EXA exactly that is exactly how you gauge your team um have we improved and um you just saw it through the course of the year if you watched things that we needed to improve on you saw it in the SEC

Tournament and you saw it without being full strength and that just HS me a whole lot that there’s an unbelievable will to win there’s an unbelievable strength right now that missing Michaela and putting in Jana Kent and people who been waiting and and wanting their turn they got their chance and they didn’t

Disappoint anybody and it’s just it’s a feeling you get within the program and as a coach that something special is going on right here coach you mentioned you got a couple of off days coming up and after a run like yall made in the SEC tournament and you’ve done this so

Many times before will it be like the schedule that you’ve always always used at Baylor here at LSU as you head into an NCAA tournament do you change anything up you know considering you’re trying to get a little bit more healthy before you go into the tournament well

I’ll follow the instruction of the trainer and the doctors with po she’s in concussion protocol and so I don’t I’ve I’ve never had a concussion and I hear it all the time but I don’t really understand it I just look at them and I say you tell me

When what and where and so concussion protocol with with POA but we don’t play guys until not this coming weekend but the following weekend and I’m pretty certain we’ll be a high seat in the tournament so that means we’ll get to play in Baton Rouge and so get your

Tickets everybody and if we win those two games we’ll be sent to either Albany uh or Portland and um we’ll do the three three days off here uh Wednesday we’ll have a little team get Ing and eat some I it used to be crawfish but with shortage of it and

Expense of it I think it’s going to be boil shrimp and crab damn sign of the T I know it it’s like Dar are you kidding me I know well it probably cost like a hundred thousand to feed the team so I don’t know yeah

Well listen now we we can eat I always I always tell I always tell my son when you have a date you better take a lot of money because women real women like to eat hell yeah those that pick around no we don’t we don’t want to fool with them

Point like right wrong or different I’m talking on both sides thato South Carolina the entire deal but now that’s the narrative that’s the conversation that that’s what people on ESPN and other networks are talking about they’re talking about Coach monkey and not what actually happened on the court um it

Him and Mikey T Brook Kirk Cher everybody behind the scenes making it happen over there uh just hit 100K on YouTube go check him out um and again like I said I’ve been a proud subscriber for years now uh NFL free agency kicking off and not um any big pickup news uh as

Of yet for the Saints but a couple of contract moves and obviously we’ll get into the cousins uh stuff as well with Nick real quick here but first nick uh tell us what give us give us just like the you know the the quick rundown of what Demario Davis’s contract reworking

Means what Tyron Matthews contract reworking means yeah both of them save some some c space keeps them around for a uh another year Beyond um next season that were both going to expire at the end of 2024 tyon actually took a little bit of a pay

Cut to to stick around and it was something that he was going to be willing he was going to be willing to do that even without the second year at on the second year just kind of you know was was an added benefit for him not a

Major pickup but I mean he he kind of understood the situation wanted to stay here wanted to be you know a team guy kind of I think wants to finish his his career here and that was something that he was willing to do for the team um you

Know he almost ultimately ends up getting ho of he plays through that that second season but for both these guys yeah they’re going to be part of the future they got to make the these you know the the cap numbers work uh for the team so that seems like an easy place to

Go um I had heard some rumors they were trying to do it with with Kamar too so we’ll see if that kind of plays out he actually has two years left on the deal but the last year was really uh which is 2025 is is he’s never going to see it

He’s never going to play through that um it was kind of just like a fake year tacked on at the end to to make his average annur value go up to a point where it was the highest in the league at the time so I mean sometimes you have

Those that that funny math on there but he’s never going to play through that that year so I think they’re trying to find a way there too to see you know maybe if there’s a way to get something done um and RAM Che another one that I

Think they’re going to look at and his base salary 17 million I think if they do something there it would be to try to bring that number down I you know I don’t necessarily know it’s to tack on more time or anything like that I think

It’s just if they do something with that one um you know and it might end up being just a straight restructure but I think I think there’s a desire to kind of bring that number down a little bit when’s the restructuring going to be done and the new signings maybe are

Going to start coming to New Orleans Nick obviously you had a lot of things you had to do for the salary C but can you see a wave of free agency where the Saints do bring in some players I know handcuffed a little bit there but like

When can you expect to bring in some new faces to New Orleans well they had avonte Maddox visiting yesterday and obviously he’s had an injury history the last couple years I think he’s only played in 13 games the last two years or he’s missed

13 games what one of the two um but yeah I mean eor is packed last year um and then he had like a litania injuries in 2022 um he would be to play in the slot provide depth Maybe um you know and that’s kind of interesting in its own

Right because the stuff with ladimore is still kind of floating around out there so if ladimore were to get traded you know I think you could potentially if you sign him put avonte Maddox in the slot move elonte Taylor to the outside and that’s how you go about it or he’s

Someone that could just be better in depth you know across the board he’s played inside and outside much better inside than outside but he could do both so there’s value either way with that but either way it sets the stage to where you have a guy then if you get to

Offer for a lot of you like on June 2nd um you could move him and you aren’t you know chasing your tail and you’re set up to be able to to kind of at least explore that opportunity if they sign him um and I think there’s a a a want to

To get that done it’s just kind of a matter of of you know how it looks healthwise and what the numbers are you know with the the restructuring that’s easy like they all they put this thing in everybody’s contract automatic conversion clause where they could just

Sit down today and say we’re going to restructure Ryan Ram check do it they don’t even got to talk to them it’s already been pre-agreed to now I don’t think they do things that way I think there’s obviously a conversation but you know it’s set up to where they’ve

Already agreed to it so they can just they can just go do it so I don’t think that’s that’s a major hurdle I think it’s you know it gets a little bit slower when they’re trying to figure out how to get some of the stuff done with

With different guys and you know the de Mario type deal the Tyrant type deal so you can agree to terms now and you know figure that stuff out later even I mean if you get a signature on a contract today like you don’t have to file it

Today you can file it two weeks from now you know you could sit on it and just kind kind of kind of send it in when you send it in so it’s I don’t think it’s holding anything up I think what we’re seeing right now this is this is the

Process of trying to get a cleaner cap like you aren’t chasing major free agents you aren’t spending a ton of money I I think this is the cap clean up and to get the cap clean you got to slow it down and you know it it sucks like if

You’re going out to buy a house and you’re six months away from buying it and you got a 640 credit score you say you know what for the next six months we aren going to spend any money so we can get that score up to 710 like those six

Months are going to be incredibly boring at the end of it though you get the new house but that’s how you get the new house you got to go through that that process of just you know boringness nothingness no entertainment no bits like no movies like you’re just sitting

At home watching Netflix doing nothing and that score is going up and it is boring as hell like this this is terrible right now like you’re watching the whole league Gardner muu got signed yesterday they’re in like they’re in like the third wave of free AG already

Lonnie Johnson got signed like it’s it’s slim pigin like there still some big names out there but like the Saints aren’t I I would be shocked if they get involved in them and this is what it’s going to be I think for a year or two

Like you get it clean and then you are in a place where you can go out and you can be the Houston Texans and you know sign bigname players and stuff but like this is kind of where they’re at right now so this is I think this is the

Process of of you know being competitive but cleaning up the cap at the same time and and yeah I I don’t think it’s going to be super exciting it’s not going to be you know it’s just kind of Clint kubs here that’s how they’re going to try to

Get better and and we’re going to have to see if it works uh Nick let’s let’s talk about Kurt Cousins uh going to the Atlanta Falcons it’s it’s kind of interesting if you look at the Saints of the Falcons in many ways now um they resemble one

Another but you could maybe argue the Falcons like maybe a little more so uh you know R tread had coaches these quarterbacks that have been similar in a lot of ways but cousins had has had more success than has Carr uh like a chimra be right a la Drake London it’s it’s

It’s it’s intriguing to see and of course all the shared defensive DNA from Ryan Williams um let’s start a very base question Kirk Cousins on the Falcons now do you believe that makes Atlanta the favorite to win the NFC South should it still be the bucks or do you think that

The Saints still should have a say in ter in that if he’s healthy I mean I I kind of like what Atlanta’s doing I I do and I hate to say it I mean but it kind of feels like there team on on the rise a

Little bit um you know it is funny though it’s kind of like you got you know a Nissan Ultima Honda Accord and a Chevy Mal park in the driveway there’s a bike in the garage kind of like it’s it’s like the whole the whole mediocre practical like economy version

Quarterbacks at the NFC South right now so you know it could go I I don’t think anyone has a massive Advantage at that position I think if they’re all healthy I think cousins is the best one out of them uh you know I like I like bejan

Like obviously I think he’s some that that can be a game record I think they got a really good offense going in there too I mean they got the the Rams offense coming their way so I think that’s something that’s going to you know benefit cousins a little bit too um so

Yeah I mean I I it just feels like they’re younger and on their eyes where it feels like the Saints are like kind of older in a sense so it just feels like maybe they’re trending the right way but I you know I kind of feel like

They’re all still kind of they’re all going to be packed in I think it’s probably going to be like a game or two that separates him I don’t think anyone’s going to run away from the pack but I do like cousins ability and we’ve seen him change offenses and and be

Solid multiple times so I don’t think that’s going to be a huge issue for him so yeah I do kind of like the direction of their team right now and if I had to place it bet today I mean I do think and look they’re picking before the Saints

Too so they probably you know end up getting you know the the the pass Sher the Saints want you know that’s prob I was going to end up playing out so I I think that uh yeah I think right now if I had to place it back today I think

Atlanta’s probably the favor what about the Carolina Panthers Nick I mean we never talk about them and it looked like they had some Talent on the roster last year a lot of us liked Bryce young I know I did I thought Bryce young would have a much better rookie season

Dysfunctional to say the least you fire the coach you fire the quarterback coach I mean anybody that he knew right in his rookie season you got rid of I guess to try to already hit reset like are the Carolina Panthers incredibly far away like where are they at right now we know

They don’t have the number one overall pick they gave that up for Bryce young where do you see the Panthers it seems like they’re just kind of I I I don’t see how they’re going to be competitive next year it just kind of feels like you know they’re still

Resetting a little bit you know I’d be picking up fun to see if like maybe JC Horn’s available like honestly like they just St earns like I just don’t I don’t know how they’re gonna win games next year just it’s it’s kind of you know still feels like they’re they’re tearing

It down a little bit um like you said they don’t have the pick I I don’t see the Hope like at least with like the patriots the patriots look terrible right now um you know and they signed jacobe brette but like you can at least like oh they got the third pick like

Turn it around they probably won’t but like I don’t see that that even that glimmer of hope for the Panthers right now so I have I have no idea yeah I think it’s a three- team Race and they’re gonna probably be the team that you know everybody else in the division

Looks at and they assume two wins now it’s not going to play out like that but they are just kind of in that position I think I think they’re probably a year or two away from from getting to where they want to be I mean the one thing I’ll say

Is like getting Canal I do like the work he’s done like obviously he made Gino Smith a viable or helped goino Smith become a viable quarterback help Baker Mayfield get to where he wanted to be I think that you know if he is who we

Think he is there should be an uptick in in what they get out of Bryce young but I don’t know if there’s enough around him at this point like they need the offensive line they need playmaker they need a defense like I I don’t know how they’re gonna win games next year has

Has there been um Nick has there been any I know you’re always in touch with kind of The Whispers around the building uh and generally in the offseason most Whispers right now are going to be like they’re going to air on the positive side but has there been any

Uh any talk about how kubak fitting in with the organization yeah I think everybody’s like super excited right now um you know one of the things that happened that I thought was really good like immediately like right after you got hired like Alvin HED Alvin was in the building

Meeting with them talking to them and just you know I think that’s a huge thing that’s key you know yeah I I think that everybody is is like you know I think there there’s there’s an optimism where last year it was kind of like they were trying to figure out how to

Overcome some of the stuff and it was just like look we can only go out and run the plays that are called like I think now people are looking around players are looking around it and there’s a there’s a sense of hope that you know hey like this this thing could

Work it’s the right system it’s the system that we’ve seen work in the league now obviously like this guy has to go out call plays design game plans all that stuff like there’s no guarantee of anything but I I do think that everybody is kind of you know very

Optimistic about just seeing that uptick I think there’s a belief that it’s going to make Derek Carr better they kind of look at that last five six game sample when they finally got the offense to where they wanted it to be doing some of the stuff and thinking like hey like if

This stuff like comes equipped into the the you know in the home instead of like trying to retrofit it and force it in with someone that doesn’t really know how to you know design offense this way I think there’s an assumption that things are going to get a little bit

Better there I I don’t know though like I I feel like they still need a better roster than they had last year you see everybody else kind of making some moves um but yeah I I think they also think like Jamal Williams there might be help

For him like in a different run scheme so getting a little more out of him at least so I mean I think there’s just a lot of things that they think are going to fall in the place but you know I I think we gota we got to see it at this

Point like it’s It’s just tough for me to like I I’m I like this offense I like the system I like everything about it like if I could have picked one before they ever did anything this would have been it and this is probably the guy

That I would have circled like you just look at the pedigree and it’s kind of shooting you know shooting darts blind like you just look at the offense and pick like the highest ranking um assistant that could leave the building but like he’s the guy that I probably

Would have went after but I I just feel too snake fitten over the last few years like you know these things happen and it’s like ah it’s goingon to you know this is going to work this is going to work and then it doesn’t so I’m a show

Proove point but I mean there is a cautious optimism I think and I think the people in the building are are incredibly excited about the direction they’re going on offense they’re G to ask you about the future of Mike Thomas in the NFL like where do you see him and

I know not obviously like it’s not going to be in New Orleans now we all know that information does he have a future in the NFL like we were talking about it last week I think we were talking about maybe the Cincinnati Bengal and you know him and Joe burrow being teammates there

At Ohio State maybe that could make sense like do you see him being a factor on any other team in the NFL next year I think he can be a factor I think we’ve seen that he can still play like it it he unfortunately was on a a

One-ear pro it deal and he he wasn’t able to prove it because he got hurt again I mean but until he got hurt again I I I think he he looked good look productive you can go somewhere and be productive you know I think if if I’m

Circling places just know Mike like I think Mike probably want something that’s at least you know I think you’re putting down the list of things something that’s maybe familiar would be something that I think would probably be something that’s appealing to him and then also a team I think that that has

The quarterback and is ready to contend like I I don’t think he wants to go to a situation where you know he’s playing with like Desmond Ritter or something like that so yeah I think top top of the list like I think I think the line like

If I were shooting again like I think the lions are one that that would make a lot of sense to me because you know he’s going to go there he he’s familiar with the leadership like the culture it’s going to feel familiar and I think

That’s a place he could blend in kind of right away um you know but then beyond that I think it’s it’s places where you know maybe even I don’t know if Atlanta would make sense but it would be kind of similar too like there’s Sim similar culture there with Terry fono and Ryan

Neelson and all that but you know beyond that then I think you know it’s probably a contending team where he can go he can prove it he can put up the numbers and you know I think he wants to show everybody that that he’s still that guy

And I think doing it um you know the team that’s ready can sck to a cont tell with the quarterback that’s kind of you know going to be able to get him the ball where he wants it I think that’s that’s kind of what he desires a little

Bit but I the thing is is that like it’s gotten confused I think a little bit is that this was always a one-year deal if he’s on the team he gets $109 million in bonuses so like he was getting cut like $109 million becomes guaranteed like

Within a few days so he was always it was always gonna expire um technically he’s gonna have to be released but to stay he would have had to agree to stay too you know what I mean so like it was it was always like if they were going to

Continue it was always gonna have to be approach like a free agent thing there’s going to be the process where he technically gets cut but like it’s not really actually getting cut like it was agreed to beforehand and this is what they kind of do to manipulate cap same

Thing with jamus but they’re both being treated like three agents right now even though they’re still under contract they’re negotiating with other teams they’re meeting with other teams are allowed to do that because these contracts do technically expire so yeah but like I I think um I I think

Detroit’s one that kind of makes a lot of sense if you’re looking at it and you’re trying to guess you know hey like similar culture all that stuff like I I think Mike kind of needs that like you know I think he he likes that culture the Shawn Payton type culture but I

Don’t think Denver makes sense at all Nick why do you think Jeff dun Jeff Duncan got so much crap from a lot of saints fans after this and and I know I know you’re saying like oh well some people are mad cuz they’re trying to say

Like he paint it like he got cut but yeah it was a one-year deal um but at the end of that one year you know it was a one-year deal to see whether not you wanted to stay together so both parties still I mean you know deciding to walk

Away from another you get lost in the semantics of it but I felt like all Jeff did was right a piece that accurately laid out Mike Thomas’s career which was a Hall of Fame start with a a kind of u a very unfortunate crash of sorts and I

Guess that was just a bit surprised to see so many fans coming out and being like yeah screw Jeff talking when like I mean all he did was tell the story of Mike Thomas and I get why Mike hated it because it’s a bummer of a story and it

Probably hurts really badly to have lived through it but I don’t know man I I felt like that was all I felt like that was all overblown I mean okay so like I I didn’t read I’m not gonna act like I’m on aware of like what happened I didn’t read the

Story though so I don’t know exactly what was said in the story but obviously I seen the reaction obviously te Mike’s tweets I mean look I’ll use Like a Star Wars analogy here and it’s not going to be perfect Star Wars guy but like but like you know if you’re if you’re kind

Of part of like the rebel upcoming and then there’s the uh you know the the the dark side or whatever like the fans are kind of on this one side of it and then you know it’s kind of like the same for like the evil empire and like right now

Like Mike’s the guy speaking to the uprising it’s like a proxy it’s a proxy war over Dennis Allen is what it actually is isn’t it yeah that’s what it is yeah yeah like Mike’s the guy standing up against this so like they’re going to get behind him like and I think

That’s just kind of what it is and look I I don’t know that if like the way it’s coming out is the right way but like I do understand Mike’s frustration with like the offense and not like I’ve heard this from other players in other ways

That like hey look we were here and we know what it’s supposed to look like we know what it’s how it’s supposed to feel how it’s supposed to be played how it’s supposed to be done how the quarterback supposed to place the ball like all the

How the plays are supposed to be called and it’s frustrating for a lot of people I I don’t think the the way it’s coming out is is the best way though I mean I think you know some of that’s it needs to you know quiet down a little bit I

Think for for everybody’s own benefit and you know Mike’s going to move on he’s going to find another team I expect him to be good um yeah I think it it’s what you said a proxy war over denos Allen is kind of what it is and Mike’s

Kind of become the face of that for the fans because he’s the one guy speaking out and not like hedging anything he’s just letting it rip and he’s playing everything they want to hear and it speaks to that he’s definitely let rip man for sure hey look y’all it is the

NFL off SE season it’s free agency draft coming up um you need somebody who’s going to be your Saints Insider uh make sure that you know exactly what’s going on and the team over there at New Orleans sou football is the team for you so sign up today uh they’re the absolute

Best Nick thank you so much man yeah appreciate you guys all right we’ll uh talk to you again next week holla brother uh all right uh I still don’t know what them salt things mean tiger backwood says Jeff dunan does look like he likes them salt things and I

Feel like such a nerd because I feel like I’m probably saying something embarrassing I don’t realize yeah what happens when you’re 35 what it’s what happens when you’re 35 man yeah you I guess so I guess so your Jesus year is probably like the last year of of Youth you

Know yeah them Sal things means amphetamines that’s what I thought like like smelling salts or like Aderall like what are you talking about I was thinking that I was thinking like Aderall like bass salts at worst you know it can’t be Jeff Duncan likes Aderall maybe it is bass salts I guess

Bass but again I don’t get the feeling that he does from that picture that Mike quoted he just looks like a very normal white man like just like a like just tapping away drinking some coffee uh whatever oh well none of this matters anymore uh that is true technically ader

All is amphetamine salts that is fair it is uh also effective at times uh when we get back morot TV keep it lock off the bench with Hester in T-Bob ESPN Baton Rouge New Orleans Alexandria and 11:30 the tiger go to community Steel company Community steel co.com Community steel

Pitching and defense continues um get I I mean that Texas sorry T Texas is now number one now feel like a jerk they took over Oklahoma God we should hyping this up yesterday it’s a big Miss on me it’s a big Miss on me actually I blame

Alandra right I mean she’s our resident softball player she knows the most about the sport like how Alandra wasn’t yelling at us to talk about number one versus number three in Tiger Park Alandra do you want to answer for yourself I have no answer for this I

Have no answer for this yeah yeah okay good okay get in the gym let’s get it fixed um this is the one time I’ve ever been more upset with you than Taylor so congratulations I thought that was possible uh no no I’m look I’m obviously kidding but in all seriousness uh let’s

Go Tigers dude that’s that’s awesome 11:00 a.m. get ready a bunch of differents a bunch of different rankings uh there’s actually D1 softball has LSU as two so we’re calling a one two yeah let’s do it it’s a one two in Tiger Park go coach Terina let’s go dude

Um also why 11 why 11 a.m. first B I don’t I know on a Tuesday I don’t know I don’t know yeah that’s what I’m saying we’re kind of coming into this whole thing half stepping so hey Jet jetpack let us know why 11: a. on a Tuesday yeah

As our resident uh he’s our resident inside info be reporter all right let’s talk about dcor and Moore and a little LSU football of course Spring ball going on right now um still no major storylines to emerge out of spring as if yet uh we’ll continue to break it down

As they go through the process of starting to shape this 2023 team uh is it 20 it’s 2024 isn’t it this 2024 team um and come December this 2025 class will be signing what isn’t it going to be during the SEC championship week now yeah it’s moved up yeah what the hell

Are we doing what was that not even a week after change but we’ll move it to a more difficult time that just seems insane we haven’t talked about that whatever so they move that date up and that’s when they’re going to be signing and right now LSU is the number one

Class in the country it’s un like anything we’ve ever seen they have the number one player in quarterback committed in Bryce Underwood they’ve got the number one running back in Harlem Barry and they’ve got the number one wide receiver in Doran Moore well Doran Moore is committed but Dorian Moore also

Just released a top four um for whatever that’s worth and it’s Oregon Texas Ohio State and LSU uh yes Moore is a he is a verbal commit mhm but Jake I don’t know if I’m going to frame him too much like that in my mind Cannon anymore when you’re

Releasing a top four that has you know it outside of Georgia probably the best recruiting schools right now in the country that may be a little too much for Oregon like maybe I’m giving them too much credit but when you’re talking about Texas in Ohio State right now uh

Those yeah I mean Ohio State’s right there with Georgia that’s been one thing that Sark has done very well at Texas thus far and really that’s what Dan L’s been so incredible with early on so technically an LSU commit but you got obviously you’re gonna have some battles

To fight as of yet for for Doran I would assume like this this fantastic class I would assume that 75% of them you’re still going to have to really recruit like they’re not committed because that’s just that’s what this kind of class is this is a very highly talented class this number

One class in the country and there’s going to be schools that fight for every single one of your players now the other 25% they’re like I don’t really give a damn I’m going to LSU regardless of what you say I’m going to LSU I’ve always been you know someone that wanted to go

To LSU and so maybe 25% of the class but the other 75% yeah you you don’t think that that Underwood’s going to have suitors come at at the very end and try to get him across their Finish Line and not LSU’s I mean that’s absolutely going

To happen Barry at running back I mean all of these guys because they’re some of the top players in the country these coaches aren’t going to be like oh man you committed to LSU okay well good luck no they’re going to try to get that player to come to their school and now

They have more resources and tools not I’m not saying more than LSU I’m saying they have more things they can offer these student athletes to be able to go out there and come to their school as far as certain states have certain nil deals where you can go ahead and get

That done now so it’s not going to be one that is easy it’s not going to be one that you don’t have for these LSU coaches some night sweats over there’s going to be times when maybe you’ve got to do your re-recruiting because the other team

Jumped in front of you and so it’s not going to be done until it’s done and that’s just what this kind of class is going to be that’s what you have when you have number one two three classes in the country that you had committed this

Early in the process yeah and uh in case you don’t know who Doran Moore is right now uh on 247 he’s the number one wide receiver in the country number two player Texs number four nationally um uh on Rivals it’s again number one in the country wide receiver number one player

In Texas number four Ashley and on on three number one wide receiver number one in Texas and number three nationally so as big of a uh onfield win Jake as it would be it would be nearly as big of a win symbolically if you were right after

The Longhorns got back if you were to go toe-to-toe and take their top consensus player out of their state so a lot of fight to be had in terms of more what will the receivers look like how will nus look everything else but I’ll say this Jake I trust Cortez hton you know

And I love LSU’s pedigree when it comes to receiver Texas Little Johnny come lately with Xavier worthy and ad uh Mitchell uh having the year that they did LSU’s been producing NFL receivers so it’s definitely something to keep an eye on going forward um the top four he

Did say for whatever it’s worth He is shutting down all communication outside side of that top four so if he’s being honest there at least there isn’t like a Georgia in the mix or anything like that anymore I think the one school that you’re really fighting against is Texas

I think it’s Texas elu yeah I think those are the two options that he has and again like you’ll fight to the Finish you’ll have to get to the finish line and that’s just what it’s going to be all these top players are going to have a second school that you have to

Fight against uh all right uh when we get back here in OTB uh get some of your comments keep it locked youtube.com/ hit the like button y’all you know please the algorithmic gods who rule our existence uh I do want to remind you by the MMR group of course it’s the largest

Grp.com uh what is Brian llas talking about Lance herd here um I don’t see it I just see AKA lanter but I don’t know exactly guess he means with teams continuing to be able to offer different things remember like this was a situation where LSU looked at where

They were and looked at what it was going to take and they decided that what they had obviously was better and then what they had coming in was going to be good enough not to use the resources all at that position yeah yeah I mean that

Was yeah that was like a salary cap thing of sorts um and uh that’s what it is uh oh AO says and then AO says I’m talking about uh he he’s they’re having a conversation but he says um Bama not being in the number one wide receivers

Top four represents a changing of the times yeah I mean mean again like the big winner in no more saving and no more remains LSU geographically um more so than anybody else all right when we get back morot TB Keep It lck Off the Bench with Hester and

Out um bar Kodak was was it yodak baruchi says here’s my top four equals scratch me the biggest check yeah I mean look I don’t you know again I don’t know if there I don’t well not I don’t know in my opinion I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that I

Think that’s what we would all do right I think I think I think you’d be kind of remiss if you didn’t uh play to people who want to hire you for your services if you didn’t leverage them against one another and try to maximize your payday

Now it’s not the it’s not the end all Beall um there are certainly other elements at play such as like path to the field geographic location maybe compared to your family um you know are are are you looking for your biggest payday now or are you more putting your

Thumb on the scale for something like development right because like a Cortez hton scores very highly in that regard in terms of producing uh NFL players and whatnot so I’m not saying it’s the endall Beall but you know I’m also not going to fault the guy if that is his

Endall Beall it’s like did did you read the Chris low article um about the the Alabama coaching search that he came out with about a week or two ago it was uh it was just an inside look into like the 49 hours after um I don’t think so I

Missed that one after after sa retired and uh credit to Greg burn I thought Greg burn actually handled those 49 hours very well and it’s interesting to hear that you know over a year ago he met with Sabin and Sabin basically he didn’t tell him I’m for sure retiring

But he said like look you need to start to kind of start to get some ideas about what would um what step’s going to be next but in that Nick’s talking about one of the things that he’s he’s saying look this is not the only reason but one

Of the things that kind of had him feel in some type of way to paraphrase was that here they just had this great year uh where he says they improved more than maybe any team’s ever had you know they they they nearly beat the national champion first he said he was a little

Upset by what he saw in the locker room after the game a lot of helmet slamming a lot of kind of salty like man you know instead of kind of you know winning with class losing with class but then he would go on and talk about how and then

They’re doing exit meetings and everything is about uh playing time and payment and that that’s just different than what he has been used to for much of his career and he and he made sure to say I don’t so I don’t want you to think

This he made sure to say I’m not saying it’s wrong but it is different for me and it’s no longer kind of for me and and I think that’s pretty levelheaded um it’s not a right or wrong thing but it is unquestionably different but it’s

Also normal again any of us in our job if we could leverage three four five suitors against one another to double our income you know 99% of us would so I can tell you this coach sa and one of the things that he hated more than anything was someone wanting him to

Promise them playing time to say hey yeah you’re going to start at running back or hey you’re going to start at Edge rusher from from the very get-go he hated that he wanted you to go out there and earn that like that was something even in recruiting when everybody tells

You that like he was adamant when he was at my house and other people like hey here’s the plan for you here’s how it’s going to work out we are not guaranteeing you any playing time but here’s what you have the opportunity to go and do so I yeah I could I could

Definitely see that being something that affected him as much as like how much you going to pay me conversation yeah yeah he he did not he I think he was just kind of taking it back by the playing time thing for sure as well um all right when we get back let’s close

Time machine and could have one hour conversation with anyone in history who would it be that’s a great question it’s a loaded question it’s a difficult question uh anybody in history I mean FDR up there D jangus Khan up there and I’m just going to assume for the purpose of this

Conversation we can understand each other um Augustus Caesar definitely up there as well for me those would be my three answers um Douglas MacArthur General MacArthur would be like he was crucial in World War II uh give me some strategies what were you thinking like how did it play

Out what was the thing because we think we know the thing that led to you know the West being Victorious there but like what was like something that was so big but nobody really shines the light on it I don’t know like that would that would intrigue

Me highly um is MacArthur the corn cop Hye is he I’m I’m trying to I’m getting my world yeah the right I’m get my World War II General confused not ask the bench uh don’t you think there’s only Mr old school says ask the bench don’t you

Think there’s only so much the public and he’s talking about college football here uh don’t you think there’s only so much the public will put up with before they check out there’s already enough drama in daily life Sports was supposed to be a nice getaway not

Anymore um I don’t the only thing I would say about that is all ratings for sports continue to go up so you may personally feel that way but the public on mass is showing that they maybe like the drama or they just love football

It’s one or the other right but but I do get the feeling Jake like people don’t love like like even football fans get bored with like the nil conversations and stuff like that but they’re still going to all watch the games when it comes to this fall yeah every one of

Them like even if you don’t agree with any of it like if you hate all of it your favorite team’s on you’re G to watch it like tbop said the numbers continue to go up sports franchises at the professional level for every sport are way more valuable now than they were

Even five years ago so it’s not going anywhere and they’re doing something right um s awareness say Benjamin Franklin’s my choice oh that’s a good one yeah ask the bench how much money in an nil deal uh would have would you have needed to transfer to Alabama well I mean I literally waited

For an LSU offer and I had offers from all those schools that that would be in the conversation and as soon as I got the LSU offer I tried to play cool but I committed to LSU there’s not an amount of money there ain’t an amount that

Would have made me go anywhere else it just is what it is I waited too long for that off ER and grew up in this state and you know I didn’t have the chance to come down to Baton Rouge and watch them all the time we we weren’t balling like

That but when they we’re in stport we were out there at the Independence Bowl you know cheering like hell so no it was always LSU for me I you know see and it’s funny CU it was always LSU for me I was raised die hard I was never going to

Go anywhere else but I mean dude I don’t know somebody’s gonna pay me 200k more i’ probably really hard pressed to say no to that um I would on trying to get on the other side but yeah but I mean so yeah that’s what somebody else said

Like you’re forgoing NFL money for quick money now and it’s like well I don’t know if you look at the stats of how many guys actually make the league like all these guys making hundreds of thousands here most of them won’t make the NFL so it’s kind of like no you’re
