Further review with Matt masona and here we go live from the mercedesbenz of B Rouge Studios R with [Applause] Your and off we go welcome aboard glad you’re with us it’s AFR presented by the aesthetic medicine and anti-aging Clinics of Louisiana I’m Matt you’re a loser man hey shut up kid Paul O’Neal they Channing Paul O’Neal’s Name in the and Mr Toby Tom Play all right we’re here glad you are as well get out there and make it a good one Derek Carr generously willing to restructure his deal a Saints uh injury report Mike triplet in hour number three recruits talking nil Tigers pick up Harlem Berry yesterday we react to it
Ton to do but let’s begin as we do every single day it’s time to pop the top on another edition of AFR with Bud Light drink Easy A Tuesday brought a excuse me Wednesday brought pretty significant bombshell from the LSU football program as Brian Kelly fired four defensive
Assistants and uh not quite as significant a day here on Thursday but news nonetheless and we would expect more and more these with every passing day as the deadline for players to declare for the draft or announce their intention of return to school approaches and the Tigers did get a decision and
Some good news on Thursday with safety major Burns announcing via social media that he will return to LSU uh tweeting after much thought and consideration I will be returning to LSU this year I’m looking forward to earning my degree and finishing what I started major Burns returning to LSU for the 2024 season
This there’s a couple of different ways to look at this first to the cynic you’re not wrong the LSU defense namely the secondary was atrocious in 2023 and there is a school of thought is to say what in the world would you want any of those guys back
For because they were all terrible and you’re not wrong uh there is Merit to that and major Burns was part of it and he had one gigantic highlight of the Season which was the pick six at the end of the Missouri game which which sealed
The win but by and large maor Burns has never been a great coverage safety he’s more of a box safety he’s a physical player who’s willing to come up and make a tackle he’s at 56 tackles during his three years at LSU and his time at LSU
Has probably been more so defined by two things um number one certainly injuries which slowed his career at the beginning number two he is a World Class Trash talker there is nobody on this team that talks more than does major Burns and while I understand when you’re not very
Good and there’s guys trash talking I also can at least respect the fact that somebody had enough give a damn enough hutzpah to go get in somebody else’s face and that’s major Burns For Better or Worse on this team uh the other I said there’s two ways to look at it
That’s one which is you know why why should you celebrate anybody returning from a defense so bad the other part of the conversation is is that I I don’t ever think it’s a bad thing when you return a player that has played in 27 games with
23 starts at LSU and back in 2020 played in six games during his freshman season at Georgia during the co year so over the course of Four Seasons major Burns has played in 33 games there is no substitute for experience that guy’s got a ton of it and you’re glad to have him
Back in 202 4 now there’s there’s two real questions as well one how much can major Burns improve with a new defensive cordinator and a new defensive backs coach if you’re asking major Burns to go play free safety or strong safety and turn and run and cover that’s not going
To go well that’s not what he does but could he be a nickel that plays in the box and helps and run support yeah I think that certainly is something major Burns could do for you and obviously he’s got great leadership and experience and all that stuff number two is can he
Stay healthy as I mentioned you know he was injured his freshman season at Georgia he came to LSU back in 2021 played early had the foot injury that cost him the rest of the season he ended up only playing five games that year uh a year ago in 2022 he ended up
Having the neck injury which cost him uh the second half of that season but this year 2023 he played an all 13 games he was able to stay healthy and played in every game for you so can he stay healthy how much can he improve two big
Questions but major Burns returning is a good thing for LSU and when you look at that safety room um I I kind of look at it to say okay compare and contrast the safety room from 23 to 24 and how it looks at least as of right now where
Your starting safeties were major Burns and Andre Sam you lost Greg Brooks unfortunately to a terrible medical situation you moved s dry to Corner out of necessity and you had some young guys that probably project as a safety like jav and tobian who had to play Corner out of
Necessity and Ryan Yates battled an injury from Camp didn’t get on the field till late um I’m sorry kylin Jackson excuse me Ryan Yates played in every game mostly special teams but got in there at safety as well so you got a lot of that but you look at major Burns who’s played
In 33 career games and you’re bringing in Jordan Gilbert as well who’s played in 25 games played 12 games as freshman season at at A&M played 11 games a year ago started the first two games this year before an injury cost him the rest of his year but that’s a guy who’s
Played in 25 games so just if you’re starting with Burns and Gilbert you’re starting with guys who played a ton of football the other guy that’s worth mentioning as well is s dryan s dryan moved to Corner this year again out of sort of necessity but that’s a guy who
Over his time in Baton Rouge has played 31 games do you move Sage Ryan back to safety I guess my point is well I I don’t think I I mentioned any potential all-americans there with Burns Gilbert or Ryan I did just mention guys that have played an awful lot of football and
If you coach them better than they got coached this year you’ve got three really veteran players to build around there and then you’ve got jav toiano who you know last year in Spring they played at nickel at Dime at strong at free at corner they played him everywhere to see
Where he best fit and he’ll be able to fill some type of valuable role you’ve got Ryan Yates who came from a football Factory in Dallas and was ready made and ready to go and played for you this year in all 13 games you know kylin Jackson
From Zachary who was we mentioned had that injury in Fall camp and took him a while to get healthy and get re acclimated but by the end of the season he was playing and ended up playing in five games for you which included the bowl game um you know you bring in
Austin Osberry via the portal who can give you give you depth and maybe continue to develop and be a rotational piece and then you got guys like Joel Rogers and Jordan Allen who have been you know Young Veterans now and then Deshawn McBride who’s one of the highest
Rated prospects in the class who might come in and surprise every and win a job day one because he’s that talented I guess my point is when you look at it you go Burns Gilbert Osberry Toano Yates Jackson Ryan McBride Rogers Al that’s 10 safeties 10 potential safeties a we 10
10 safeties on this roster for 20124 as of now now someone could always enter the portal however however may go but even if you’re just looking at Burns Gilbert Osberry Toano Ryan let’s say Yates Jackson those seven you’ve got guys who have played a lot of football and can improve year toe
That are going to almost undoubtedly make you better at safety than you were this year because man it would be so hard to be worse but uh major Burns returning with his 33 career games played will return for a fifth season of college football in 2024 and I don’t
Think it’s coincidental by the way I do not think it’s coincidental that a decision like that came today a day after Matt house was fired a day after Robert Steeples and Carri Cooks were fired you know I’m going to be very curious to see leading up to the 15th which is the
The draft decision deadline players have to announ have to declare for the draft to be very interested over these next two weeks to see what players make those decisions to stay or go you know and we’re certainly looking at the defensive line with guys like Mason Smith and Jacobi and Giller
You know it it’s certainly seems around the program like Jacobi and Giller is poised to return again it’s never done until it is but we’ll see that would be huge you know Mason Smith is a guy that you know I think we all just sort of
Assumed he was going pro and he didn’t have a great season so can you convince him with a new defensive coordinator a new defensive line coach to come back to school and maybe try to make a push at having the season we all hoped and thought he could have and be a first
Round pick you know potentially bet on yourself and make the tens millions of dollars as a result and I’ll I’ll throw it out there as well but I don’t know that Makai Wingo signed with an agent yet but we all saw that video on the
Field of he and Matt house and it’s very clear that there was a disconnect there not only with with Wingo but with other players as well is it worth going to maai wingo and saying hey being transparent here’s what we’re looking to do at DC here’s what
We’re looking to do at at defensive line coach come back run it back back and help us do way you help us improve next year now I don’t know if that matters you could certainly float maai Wingo a nice nil deal which could incentivize him but when you look at his draft slot
I talked to an agent today that said the consensus around the league seems to be a third fourth round pick so maybe a late day two early day three guy if he does come back to school you know what’s his ceiling a second round pick it’s
Sort of neg that money is sort of negligible so I I don’t know that Makai Wingo would stand to gain a lot through the NFL’s Eyes by coming back just because he is going to have a lower ceiling because of his body type and his size me unless he becomes Aaron Donald
But maybe that’s a guy who wants to be a team guy and run it back and try to finish right one more year in Baton Rouge it’s at least worth worth a shot see if you can get him to to have a change of heart um with the deck sort of
Cleared now after Wednesday’s announcement I feel like there’s a there’s this Collective Cloud that’s been lifted this sigh of relief being breathed by a lot of people associated with the program and on the defensive side of the ball and the roster the staff all of it and and
People are able to have really transparent conversations now and maybe some positivity on that side of the ball is starting to seat back in at least the promise of a better tomorrow which I don’t think existed had you not had you maintain the status quo so major Burns
Returning we’ll see if others follow suit okay it’s after further review show open every day brought to you by our friends over at budlight shout out to mockler beverage and our friends at budlight mockler has of course been a great Community partner for four decades

Have you heard what he’s doing Muse did you hear what Derek Carr is willing to do I heard what he’s willing to do Paulie did you hear about it did you hear what Derek Carr what he’s willing to do I did hear it oh my goodness I
Tell you what a guy what a guy that Derek Carr what’s his uh what’s his middle name Derek something Dallas Derek Dallas Carr That’s right uh from the house of Carr as uh T-Bob told us in his Grand announcement Derek Dallas Carr such a benevolent Monarch that emperor of empty yards Derek
Carr so good Derek Carr gave an interview with um Zach Ying of the times picky and in his benevolence in his grace our fearless leader said that he is willing to restructure his contract if it helps the team quote if it helps the team and I
Saw the plan and I knew where it was going to go man let’s figure it out not even a question car said I came here to win so whatever we got to do I’m all in oh my can we give him a round of applause everybody big round of applause
This guy me God the benevolence the grace uh the selflessness of one Derek Carr the Emperor of empty yards uh baloney get out of here you know how that’s being phrased that’s being presented as if he’s taking a pay cut he ain’t talking about taking a pay cut he’s talking about restructuring his
Contract that don’t help nobody get out of here Derek Carr I’ll go over this again the Saints as you all know we’re into that time of year now where the Saints are going to try to be moving toward cap compliance and so they’re going to start restructuring contracts
To get within cap compliance and they’re going to have to take a lot of big deals and they’re going to restructure them and move money around so that way they can be within cap compliance well when you restructure a deal that’s not taking a pay cut what Andrew Pete did last year
Was take a pay cut because the Saints told him hey we’re either cutting you or you can stay at a low number and he said I’ll stay at a lower number that helps the Saints Derek H when you restructure your deal the amount of money you get doesn’t
Change it just changes how you get the money when they take salary and convert it into a signing bonus you get a lumpsum payment up front and the team can spread that money out over future years even voidable years in the future which means the team is actually
Financially tied to you even longer for example look at Michael Thomas’s contract Michael Thomas signed that big five-year 96.25% that contract you how are you going to get someone to give you an asset to take not only the player but also the player’s contract this year for example for everybody who wanted the
Saints to trade Michael Thomas his cap hit was 14.2 million his dead cap number was $ 36.1 million it was going to cost you $ 36.1 million to not have Michael Thomas on your team that would never happen oh by the way next year Michael Thomas’s cap hit $10 million his dead
Cap number meaning if he’s not on the roster $18.1 million it would cost you $8 million more to get rid of Michael Thomas than to have him and if the if he ain’t just the gift that keeps on giving all year long the next three years
Subsequent 25 26 27 you’ve got money on the books attached to Michael Thomas that are voided year so even though he might not be on your roster after 2024 Michael Thomas will still cost you 9.1 4.0 and $1 million each of the next three seasons in 25 26 and 27 that’s
What a restructure does to you yes it’s a short-term option it gets you within cap compliance today but it binds you to that player financially even longer so when we say Kick the Can down the road that’s what this is so when Derek Carr and listen he was asked the question
It’s not like he just came and made this bull Proclamation so all give him a little bit of a pass right there but let’s not pass this off as something more than what it really is if Derek Carr restructured his contract with the New Orleans Saints the Saints would pay
Him a lump sum now and they would spread those C pits out over future years which means you would be financially bound to Derek Carr even longer and the reality is you got one more year of this awful failed experiment one more year because as his contract sits right now Derek
Carr has a $ 35.7 million cap hit in 2024 so Derek Carr in 2024 is going to cost you $ 35.7 million his dead cap number next year is $ 52.8 million so he’s on the Derek Carr is on your roster next year no matter
What it’s going to cost you 357 have him on the roster if he’s not here it cost you $ 52.8 million ain’t nobody eatting $ 52.8 million but the following year 2025 cars cap number is 45.7 his dead cap number is 17.1 so yes when Derek Carr comes back
Next year stinks again or is benched for a rookie please God then you cut him you have a rookie quarterback on a rookie deal please God and then you get you wash yourself of Derek Carr’s $45 million cap hit in 2025 and you eat $17 million that’s most likely what will
Happen here with the Derek Carr contract in the future my goodness please for the love of God Kai Harley do not entertain the notion of restructuring Derek Carr’s deal do not extend this miserable nightmare that is the Derek Carr experiment that some of you try to convince yourself is really just because
Of Dennis Allen P Carmichael receivers that don’t run routes or drop passes or a bad offensive line and you can’t can’t actually acknowledge the fact that what you have is a guy that is a 10year sample as a starting quarterback in the NFL and he is average at best and always
Has been and always will be do not bind yourself to him for any longer than you are cut your losses after 2024 and move on can I be any more clear about where I stand on the possibility of Derek Carr restructuring I would rather you go restructure Caesar Ruiz again bind
Yourself to Caesar Ruiz longer than Derek Carr I can overcome a crappy Right Guard I cannot overcome a mediocre quarterback and ever achieve what I want this franchise to achieve you can’t it’s not possible you had the easiest schedule in the history of the organization this year and you’re not
Even going to make the playoffs and I get it Dennis Allen stinks Pete carmichel stinks receivers Dro passes the offensive line wasn’t good I get it all the things you’re talked about it right so too is it that you have an average at best quarterback and the idea
Of financially binding yourself to him for even longer than you already are makes me want to throw up right on the side of this test I want to take this big old one gallon water jug and throw up in it and it would be really messy
Because even though it’s a big water jug there’s just a little bit spout at the top so it would go everywhere I mean it would be like project it’ be disgusting in here I’d feel like I wouldn’t even let the porters come in here and clean
It I would feel so guilty like I would clean it myself that’s what the idea of Derek Carr being a sane even longer makes me want to do Our Benevolent Monarch Derek Dallas Carr the Emperor of empty Yards did I make my point you got it loud and clear good Paul are you good yeah any ambiguity none anybody unclear no no misgivings whatsoever about where I stand on Derek Carr and the possibility of restructuring his contract zero I’m telling you what Muse tell you this right now
You want a scone redface rant people like those things from time to time you know what I mean M whenever we put those up on YouTube they go crazy big numbers you want one of them restructure Derek Carr’s contract see what happens re restructure Derek Carr and see what happens you want

Played just one season with the Gamecock 11 games Florida was a major player for Howard coming out of high school when he picked the Gamecock uh over Florida CL Clemson Georgia and Texas A&M the Arkansas Razer backs and our Kansas is expected to hire Missouri State co-offensive coordinator Ronnie Fouch as
Its new receivers coach Fouch joined Bobby patrino at Missouri state was also under patrino at Louisville but stayed there at Missouri State when patrino left for Texas A&M Kenny gon the Arkansas receiver coach expected to be announced as the new receiver coach at Wisconsin okay there you have it that is around
The SEC glad to have you board with us quinon judkin story hit in the portal is pretty fascinating and it’s made even more uh comical by the fact that lane kein is literally shark fishing um and he’s trolling his own player Lane kein a bit ago tweeted a picture of himself I
Would presume on a boat in the Bahamas catching a shark with the um with the caption catch and release uh he is just he’s a beauty that lane kein I mean you lose the best running back in the country to the transfer portal and all
You do is you go to Twitter and you troll him um that tells you what you needed to know they knew this was coming this is I I know earlier this week it’s not it’s not what and what but earlier this week we talked about Lance herd hitting
The portal and I told you that was an nil deal and a lot of you don’t believe me you push back and you say no he wants to play left tackle and I’m telling you of course yes he wants to play left tackle but that’s not why he’s leaving
He’s leaving because he wants a bigger nil number well the same here with quinshon Judkins quinshon Judkins wanted a bigger nil number Old Miss said nope and so now he’s going to go get that bigger nil number somewhere else the way that this works is most of these players
Have an agent a businessman a family friend whoever that represents them before they hit the portal they go out because technically a school can’t contact the player but if you have a third party running around doing it they go they seek the bigger deal if they get
It then the player enters the portal which is basically a declaration that they’re getting whatever deal they want somewhere else so as it was with Lance herd so it it is with quinon Judkins he’ll go somewhere he’ll probably get north of six figures which is you know what
A it it sounds excuse me seven figures it sounds like he’s asking for something just just north of seven figures for the 2023 season if you’re old Miss and you’re not willing to commit you know a 20% of your entire nil budget to one player then you say okay Sr so quinan Judkins
Leaving Oxford where he lands will uh will be interesting to see okay it’s after further review we’re glad to have you aboard with us here let me knock out a quick break our Thursday shows are brought to you by the aesthetic medicine and anti-aging Clinics of Louisiana Blue

Absolutely make sa Youngs I don’t know you know you get to the people you know like uh who’s who’s the little Tim Kirin you Tim kirchen will sit here He he’ll talk about like uh Walter Matthews or something like that from 1906 I’m like you know what I I got no concept of
Walter Matthews I’m sure he was awesome could Walter Matthews hurl it today I don’t know never saw the guy pitch but if you’re talking about in an era in which we would all be familiar you know when there was at least Motion Pictures and not even necessarily just just color
Photos in video but like actual video you know we could see a guy pitch Rockets up there man who do you think is the best pitcher ever oh God I you know when the Mound was higher Bob Gibson is a guy that I would that Bob Gibson Sandy kofax era when you
Didn’t know if they were going to hit you in the head or break a break a 126 Bender like Bob Gibson for my money with the High Mound in the 60s I don’t know if there’s ever been better and unfortunately I’m a giant Nolan Ryan fan there’s a documentary that came out a
Couple years ago called the express it’s unbelievable you need to find it on one of the platforms Nolan Ryan just played on trash teams most of his career but and there were many years he had a losing record and you know and he he no all these no hitters but he he just
Never played on great teams but Nolan Ryan in the 70s when he was Angels era him and Bob Gibson I think from my money but they no hitter in your 40s and beat the hell out of Robin ventur too Randy Johnson it’s hard for me not to go Randy
Johnson I mean well he I mean the guy threw a ball and killed a bird like that’s the greatest it’s incredible I mean not that I’m happy that he killed the bird but I’m thrilled that he killed the bird because it was hilarious I mean the guy what’s the that’s never been

Of the year most complete win of the year with the pels last night uh was watching it they looked really good talk about a bottom of this hour um getting more some more Saints stuff here in about 15 minutes uh Saints have added an offensive linean why that’s significant
We’ll get to the injury report Saints get ready for week 18 all that’s coming up in about 15 minutes it was not in any way unexpected I I guess that’s a double negative I should say it was completely expected but it happened on as we all anticipated it would on Wednesday
Five-star running back for the class of 2025 Harlem Berry out of St Martin Episcopal in New Orleans was at the Under Armour All-America Game he became the first underclassman ever to make his announcement at the under arour All-America Game doing so on national television and this how it sounded so
After my CN year the next 3 or 4 years I’ll be taking my talents to the University of LSU well you know go play a ball out uh he did drop a university of LSU it’s all right young guys nervous all right take it easy Muse back off all
Right hey whoa whoa whoa I didn’t say anything see you over there rolling your eyes but big moment man big moment was he 16 years old national nervous I get it uh he’ll get it he’ll get it congrats to Harlem Barry the number one running
Back for the class of 2025 now when you look at LSU um as they move forward you’re talking about you’ve already got coryan Moore committed for 2025 is the number one receiver now you’ve got Harlem Barry the number one running back for 2025 committed and in just two days
On the sixth Bryce Underwood the number one quarterback number one player in the country is set to make his announcement and it certainly for all intents and purposes is feels like it’s an LSU Michigan Battle there so Brian Kelly who they said he couldn’t recruit and I
Don’t know if he can but what he can do certainly is build a program and build staff members and uh a structure around his program to get the best athletes uh he has made certainly a priority keeping the best players in Louisiana in Louisiana that certainly happened this
Year in 2024 10 of the top 12 players in the state for 2024 are signed with the Tigers and next year you’re off to a great start already and maybe as I look at the Harlem Berry commitment it it continues a trend of LSU getting back to what we have been accustomed to
Seeing from LSU running backs over the years uh LSU has always had NFL running backs for as long as I’ve been alive for as long as I can remember watching LS football if you go back to Harvey Williams I mean you can go through the years and name off all the backs that
Have just been a pipeline from Baton Rouge into the NFL you know into the 90s where Kevin Fulk and Cecil Collins rondy that great great team those great teams with those great running backs on it Dominic Davis shyon kery Skyler green who of course played more receiver but
There was a a pipeline that continued throughout where you went to Adai and Hester and ke Willam Willam and you went into the Spencer wear and Michael Ford uh Kenny hilard teams to Jeremy Hill Leonard forette Darius G darl Williams you know Nick brette was the one guy
That in that mix that didn’t necessarily translate but he was a thousand yard rusher then you went to Clyde who was a first round pick T Ty D Ty Davis price who was drafted by the 49ers but after TDP in 2020 you’ve had this this run of
Misses um John emer’s career as has been well documented is a insanely talented guy who’s just had his career derailed by injury and then obviously the academic issues that’s so unfortunate but Trey Bradford armman Goodwin for what for a variety of different reasons guys that just didn’t
Pan out at LSU at that position so you go into the portal and you get Noah Kane and then you get Logan Diggs who Logan Diggs certainly looks like an NFL back in we’ll see if he’s back another year but I mean you had Josh Williams a former walk-on was your leading running
Back in 2022 and and I I I always say this with the caveat that I have immense respect for what Josh Williams has done coming from Houston as a walk- on took a shot on himself grinded away and he’s been an ultimate team guy look I mean look at
The Wisconsin game the other day that 98 yard Drive I mean Josh Williams on second and 10 got a nine yd run then on Third and two was hit behind the line line of scrimmage and got you two yards so I’m not in any way disparaging Josh Williams please don’t misunderstand I’m
Just talking about projectability at that position where LSU throughout its history even if you want to go before Harvey Williams talk about Dalton Hillyard Gary James Charles Alexander I mean it’s Jerry stoval Billy Cannon I mean the list is long and illustrious LSU’s never lacked for talented people
To turn around and hand the ball to in the Run and they’re getting back to that point you Logan Diggs this year Assuming he’s back in 2024 is an NFL running back Caleb Jackson Trey Holly they certainly look the part don’t they you got Kaden Durham committed for
This class that’s a guy that looks like an NFL running back a future NFL running back one of the best running backs in the country top running back in Texas and then 2025 you got the number one running back in the country and Harlem Barry committed that that room looks
Like an LSU running back room again and that is a major salute to Frank Wilson who has a great eye for talent to identify those skilled rushers but then also the ability to get them here even in spite of the competition or maybe because of the competition to push him
To be better it’s how you ended up with G and Fett and darl Williams all on the same team in the same backfield love to see it that that’s a position that LSU should always be fruitful always you should never look at at LSU’s running back room and
Say man who’s going to tote the mail it should be more of a question because of how deep you are there who’s going to win the job not necessarily do you have someone to do it and they’re getting back to that point which is awesome to see so Harlem Barry commits
To LSU for the class of 2025 and that 2025 class already in the top five in the country with just seven players committed and they could rock it up again in a couple of days if in fact they do get a commitment from the number one player in the country in Bryce

That location nearest you at LM fj.com that’s LM fj.com for Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry U all right let’s have further review oh a lot of you have asked um we are into week 18 in the NFL now which means It’s the final week for um our dear friend the Emperor of empty
Yards Derek Dallas Carr to match the predictions that one Chad ooo put forth um hey Muse I need some odds here maybe we can get otter to give us odds on this that’d be the play yeah okay first of all I think oo’s already lost because he said six in interceptions on
The season car’s already at eight yeah then yeah it’s it’s over yeah it’s over um oo predicted 38 uh tuds Derek Carr’s at 21 so he’ll need 17 passing touchdowns on Sunday against the Falcons that’d be some kind of a record I would probably be um and he also predicted
4700 passing yards and uh Derek Cars at 3614 so he would need uh 1,086 pass yards on Sunday against the Falcons also some kind of a record so if Derek Carr throws for 1,086 yards 17 touchdowns and somehow negates two interceptions then oo’s numbers would
Hit for the year um can we get some odds from any maybe the otter can give us some odds yeah we’ll work on that with otter and get that Paulie you think long do you think I’m you think I’m good should I be nervous at all going into
Sunday against you think Carrs got a shot at 17 touchdowns and 1,000 86 yards against the Falcons there’s always a chance yeah there’s always a chance it’s a one in a million talk you know what I mean um anyway so we’ll have to remind oio after Sunday we’ll see how it goes
Sunday you know if car falls short of the 17 touchdowns and 1086 yards we’ll have to remind oo of the BET and um and the bet is as we recall he’s got to fly to Louisiana and do the show with me he has to do AFR
With me one day the whole show uh we’ll go set up over at Don Juan will’ll will’ll uh will’ll smoke his cigars his 85 brand cigars uh like I said I’ll even buy a box of them and give them out to people if y’all come on by but uh we’ll
See if oo is a man of his word or is he a Dwayne from Tibido o I don’t want to be a Dwayne from Tibido and help him yeah Heaven help him I might have to get get RC in on it RC and oo are close oo’s been on the
Pivot several times if uh if if he ghosts me and I don’t think he will o oo seems like just a straightup dude like that right doesn’t he yeah for sure he does he can’t stiff me he cannot ghost me here if he does he gonna get called out
I mean we say in the digital era everything recorded right everything’s recorded everything we got it all right so while you’re watching the Saints and Falcons on Sunday remember the number 17 touchdowns and 1,086 yards that’s what Derek Carr has to do against the Falcons on Sunday or IB Doo I feel
Pretty and negative two and negative2 interceptions negative2 interception that’s actually the hardest part of this now you take them away yeah maybe if Derek Carr catches two of his own passes we can negate okay or if he goes and plays DB and gets two interceptions
Maybe we could call it a wash yeah yeah I mean look there’s no Marsh on Latimore probably this week again so you might need him yeah you might need him out there okay uh it’s after further review we will talk Saints in I probably should have saved this for next time Saints

Thursday so limited Wednesday limited Thursday so we’re kind of keeping an eye on what they’re going to do remember they benched Desmond Ritter well they started Ritter benched him for hinei went back to Ritter then bench Ritter again now it’s Hani but heiki got hurt against the Bears on Sunday uh Arthur
Smith did give an update on Taylor K I’m optimistic but again uh it’s why you have contingency plans and you know the way we’ll prepare similar how Taylor prepared last week and I know this Dez will always be ready to go and and so will Logan I mean they’ve been that way
All year and that’s helped you know it’s what been you know an up and down year certainly been changing that room the relationship between the three of those guys to me is unique and rare and it got a lot of faith in all those guys so um
The rest of the injury report I’ll run through it really quickly of course uh if hinei can’t go it’ll it’ll be Des Ritter who the Saints saw earlier this year and the Saints had that brutal day where they were 0 for five in the red zone and despite putting up over 400
Yards lost to the Atlanta Falcons um Kus Campbell had a rest day on Wednesday but practiced on Thursday no designation Drew dolman DeMarco Helms Mike uh were uh both dnps Mike Hughes went from with he’s in the quarterback who’s in the concussion protocol limited Cordo Patterson rest day on Wednesday practiced on Thursday
Everybody else was limited Troy Anderson Zack Harrison Taylor hinek again the the notable one again Drew dolman their Center back-to-back days has not started remember the old Mike D line it’s old buddy D betting angle uh the teams that lose their starting center fail to cover
Some 80% of the time the week they lose their starting center so if Drew dolman can’t go according to that that that angle huge benefit for the New Orleans Saints will keep an eye on dolman when the final injury report comes out on on Friday as for the Saints
Um not not great I mean they’re a banged up they’re a banged up football team um Jawan Johnson was limited so that was an upgrade but Lonnie Johnson Alvin chimra nefi Su Landon young all dnps nefi Su we know is out with the torn ACL uh Colin Saunders in the concussion protocol he
Practiced on Thursday but was limited Kendra Miller limited with the ankle at Perry was a new addition uh with an illness then Eric McCoy Chris alve pton Turner all limited Turner still of course on IR he’s returned to practice but they’ve yet to to activate him so
We’ll keep an eye on on all that see how guys trend on on Friday as they move closer to the game on on Sunday for the Saints also of note is um the Saints made a roster move we saw a couple of corresponding moves from Wednesday to Thursday and one of the
Sort of unfortunate things was jontre Kirkland former LSU Tiger was on the Saints practice squad was released but but we know the corresponding move as the Saints have signed former Falcons offensive lineman Colby goset to the practice squad so follow me here with with this with Gosset and how this goes
If you remember so Ryan ramch has been shut down for the year so with Ramic out for the rest of the season Landon young had been starting at right tackle well Landon young um this past weekend ends up going down in the game and Cameron Irving goes in at right tackle well on
The injury report Landon young is still out with that knee injury so if Landon certainly the fact that they’ve signed Colby goset is an indicator that Landon young likely isn’t going to be able to go or this is at least a contingency if he’s not able to
Go I know the way sometimes we think with decisions like this it’s well you go you go and sign a former Falcons offensive lineman the week you play the Falcons because he’s going to tell you all their secrets I I don’t know that I necessarily think that’s the case
Gossett’s backstory he was a six rounder out of appalachin state back in 2018 by the Vikings he’s played with five different teams the Saints are now his sixth but the bulk of his experience did come with the Atlanta Falcons um mostly during the 21 and 22 Seasons so um he
Played this year in the preseason with the Browns but the last two years he had been with Atlanta the reason this makes sense is not necessarily that Colby gossett’s going to come in and be a starter for you or tell you everything you need to know about Arthur Smith and
The Atlanta Falcons but because of his experience not only with the Falcons but in this Division and against the Saints there’s a degree of familiarity so on Sunday my assumption is if Landon young isn’t able to go you’re going to start Cameron Irving who replaced Landon young
This past week and played pretty well and we talked about Irving when they made that that sign he’s a veteran player who was a high draft pick coming out of Florida State played with jamus Winston on the national championship team at Florida State so there’s a lot
To like about Cameron Irving you know not going to be an all pro at this point in his career but veteran players played a lot of football and can be serviceable for you but if Irving goes down and you need somebody a pinch a guy that knows the Falcons knows their defense knows
Their personnel I get it new defensive coordinator Ryan neelon this year and all that stuff but knows a lot of their defensive Personnel knows Arthur Smith and what they’re trying to accomplish there can be and even some of the talent there’s there can be an easier
Transition if you need him in a pinch we’ll see if he’s activated we’ll see what happens with Landon young but it does make sense that you go get a guy like Colby Gossett who’s played in the NFL most important he’s played for Atlanta and against the Saints is
Familiar with both of these teams if you need it in a pinch in a week you know this is a guy that could do it so um we’ll see as they get closer to uh to the game on Sunday with the Saints and the Falcons and look it’s a uh it’s an
Opportunity for the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons both teams need help to get into the playoffs but if you don’t win this game it’s moot Saints Falcons have to win this game and get help to make it into the playoffs so uh you Derek Carr was asked if he was was
Um he was asked if he was going to be scoreboard watching during the game because the Bucks and the Panthers will be playing at the same time the Saints and the Falcons are here’s what Derek Carr said if he uh it’s going to be scoreboard watching the uh the Bucks
During the game I don’t want to know any of that I just want again our guys to be focused on the task at hand because if we’re worried about those things Atlanta is way too good of a team to not be thinking 100% on you know you can’t you
Can’t do that they they would come in here and beat us by 40 and we start thinking about that kind of stuff and so you know our our mindset has to be completely and solely on uh Atlanta and and winning our game and then you know hopefully hear some cheers in the stands
Afterwards I will be mostly interested to see if they’re putting the score on the scoreboards in the dome because they do roll scores throughout the nend through from the NFL throughout the day in the dome so I’ll be very interested to see and maybe they might do that
Depending on how that uh that that Carolina Tampa game is going but in any event Saints and Falcons Sunday in the dome uh we’ll get the final injur report on Friday brought to you by pure restoration p-r restoration.com p- restoration.com you got mold think you might pure restoration can help told

Stops we rebounded the ball we got Off to the Races uh we tried to do a decent job of keep keeping them off off the foul line but it it started with our ability to guard oh the P’s good they’ve won N9 of 12 four in a row 9 of 12 since getting
Embarrassed by the Lakers they’re riding a heater so all you need to do is just keep the Pelicans out of Las Vegas with a nightall yeah you do that and you’re healthy they might be pretty good one more grab give it to me I need

Just suffice to say that uh what that was well done I just I just kind of want to give the guy a hat to that was well done that was good that was good uh Derek Carr said he’d be open to restructuring his contract as if he’s
Some type of saint for wanting to do so uh hey no pun intended but I do love I do love a pun and that wasn’t that no pun intended there um remember a contract restructure is not taking a pay cut that’s just restructuring how you receive the cash
You’re already set to receive and it actually puts the the organization in a worst situation financially long term uh went off on that in hour number one if you missed that AFR on demand presented by Brett golf book your G time golf. b.org golf. b.org um let’s see
I’m I’m looking at uh some of the questions on the text line so you can feel free to get them in uh 225 396 4400 396 4400 39644 lots of ways you can get involved in the show we always welcome you to do that u m left tigers and the pros just a
Quick second um I don’t know if this is a um a giant concern for people but um Tom Brady will um he was doing his podcast the let’s go podcast remember Brady agreed to a contract with with Fox he could start it whenever he wanted uh
And he was doing his podcast and kind of gave an update on it hit him Muse I got a big broadcasting job that’s going to start in September you know I’m already working hard on trying to you know make sure I’m ready for that opportunity ready for that and I’m prepared mentally
And emotionally for that challenge because it is a challenge it’s something that’s new it’s outside of my comfort zone and you know I’m excited to get out there and try something and see how I do but it’s it’s got to be about what my preparation is and what my work ethic is
And and hopefully a lot of the things that I’ve done in my career have prepared me for that and there’s an exciting part about that for me which when I get out B in the morning man I’m ready to go and I want to create a to-do
List and okay these are the things I’m going to do today and this is how I’m ultimately want to actualize my potential in this area of my life it’ll be interesting uh to watch Tom Brady go into the broadcasting Booth so if you’re you’re unfamiliar he agreed to a
Contract with Fox to be their number one analyst that right now is Greg Olen so when uh buck and Aman left for ESPN Kevin Burkhart and Greg Olsen became Fox’s number one team Tom Brady will slide into that number one chair bumping Greg Olsen down whenever he wanted to execute that
Contract which it sounds like we’ll start this coming football season in September calling games is not an easy thing to do there is a uh a lot of skill associated with it it’s not just knowing the game but being able to effectively communicate it I will be fascinated to
See and one of the things that early in his career certainly that Tony Romo got a lot of a claim for was you’re kind of predicting what play was coming and a lot lot of that had to do with the fact that he was still so close to the game
He he had had prepped for these these teams and these coaches in these offenses up into the season prior the the further removed you get from playing and the less familiar you are you on a day-to-day basis with players and G and game plan and preparation the harder
That is so now that Tom Brady has been out of ball for a season I don’t know that it it’ll make a dramatic difference when he starts calling games but it will be interesting to to see you know the just because you were a great player
Doesn’t mean you’re going to be a great broadcaster and um you know but the greatest ever we’ll have an opportunity to do it sounds like starting in September so look forward to that all right it’s after further review brought to you by relief Windows Muse will get
The Tigers and the pros in just a second remember relief windows and relief windows.com energy efficient replacement windows beautiful entry doors Hardy plank vinyl siding they do it all they do it better than everyone you know whenever you’re talking about something that is a commodity like window I mean
Anybody can sell you a window I mean it’s wood and glass or it’s a composite material in glass anybody can sell you a window so what’s the differentiator with relief windows it’s their experience their quality and their service yes they’re they’re a premium product as well like their wood
Windows they sell wood windows that come with a lifetime warranty that almost sounds like a punchline I mean think of it normally people you know what you every seven to 10 years you’re replacing wood windows your HOA requires wood windows do it once to be done forever relief Windows Windows door siding but
Also it’s experience quality and service The Experience they have in the industry the quality of the work and the quality of their products they measure twice to install once but the services which sets them apart because at relief Windows they will never take a dollar from you
They will never take a down payment they will never take a dollar until they’re done and you’re thrilled that’s relief Windows why would you call anyone else relief windows and relief windows.com okay muso tigers and the pros tigers in the pros they still B purple and gold they’re just really rich

You don’t care huff and puff think I’m just going to be negative I think you’re going to find this enlightening because I think what I’m about to share with you is going to be counterintuitive to how most people feel most fans feel about nil and I’m going to share with you some stuff
That I probably haven’t shared with you before Wednesday was the Under Armour All-America Game and the athletic did a really cool thing they anonymously spoke to some of the players in the game about nil and they ask them this question did you sign with the school school that offered you the best nil
Deal if not how much did you leave on the table to sign with where you ultimately decided to go and there’s probably a dozen responses now keep in mind this is the UnderArmour All-America Game these are the best players in the country right we can all agree on that
This isn’t every player in the country but this is the crem de creme this is the this is a short list of the best players in the country did you sign with the school that offered you the most ni the biggest nil deal if not how much leave on the
Table from where you ultimately decided to go one answer quote it wasn’t a big difference for me in terms of total package all the schools offered between 300 400,000 per year with the ability to earn more another kid I left some money on the table about $50,000 I signed with my dream
School here’s another the dollar Figures were similar so nil wasn’t a priority for me I’m worried about the big bucks later my relationship with the coaches watching them practice seeing it was the biggest Factor here’s another I signed with the team that gave me the best chance to
Make the NFL not the most nil money another I didn’t sign with the school who offered me the biggest nil deal but coming from where I came from any money I received from a college is life-changing money another Prospect I signed completely off the bond I built with
Coaches I didn’t start talking about nil until recently I’ll be making about 80 to 100,000 a year a couple other schools had similar offers there’s more no I didn’t I signed with my school and they gave me like $90,000 I feel like it’s not really
About the money for me and I like my school I want to say my best offer was about 200,000 they came in the process late my school was there since my freshman year so it was easy another I didn’t S I can go on and on I didn’t sign with the school who
Offered the biggest deal in total it was probably about 300,000 difference over 3 years why did I go to the school offering less money because in the long run I could go somewhere I could stay focused not be distracted and get on the field right away these are underarm all
Americas y’all another there’s three more I left some money on the table I didn’t bring up nil until my official visit one team told me if I committed early and help bring other guys they give me 40,00 a month up until I signed but I didn’t sign with
Them to be honest I didn’t I don’t really look at all that stuff right now I chose the school I wouldn’t say showed the best love but it was a school where I just really like being around the people felt like I can make an impact there I’ll get nil later
On I think I’m looking to invest in myself now and get a bigger bag later on and finally I’m not sure I really didn’t ask about nil MoneyWise that wasn’t really on my mind I knew it was going to to come but I just wasn’t really concerned about
It there was one of all the prospects that they T talked to there was one who took the best deal quote I signed with the school who offered me the best nil deal other schools threw a lot of big numbers out but the school I signed with I trusted I’d get the money
Because I saw other guys go get it one of all those I just read one signed with the best nil opportunity I say all of that to illustrate this I believe is the shift that we’re starting to see with nil as the market settles and we start to learn more and
More by and large high school players are not focused on nil that’s not to say there aren’t any sure there are sure there are there are going going to be prospects that are focused on nil and that’s to be expected but by and large and these are the best
In the country these are underarm all Americans they’re not focused on nil so the illustration here is that as a school as an athletic department as a as a collective you should be spending in two places primarily retention of your current roster and portal we’ve made such a big deal out of
Old Miss for example and rightfully so but what would you say if I told you LSU and Old Miss the money they have raised is comparable by the way it is the difference is almost negligible the difference is how they spend it year one when Brian Kelly came in he
Just modeled after Alabama what Nick did Nick gave everybody the same thing Nick talked about this openly everybody on the roster got the same amount of money from the collective now you could go and sign a bigger deal if you wanted like Bryce young went and signed a big you
National nil deal but from the collective everybody got the same thing so that’s what LSU did in here one everybody got the same thing this year they changed the model to prioritize key positions and things like that so like Jaden Daniels and Will Campbell got more than a freshman wide
Receiver for for example makes sense Old Miss doesn’t pay anything to their High School signes all of their funds are going to the portal which is why you’ve seen them have the year they’re having in the portal and they’re celebrated for it but look at what happened today quinon Judkins went into the
Portal why because he sees all the guys that Old Miss is signing coming in into the program and getting their nil bag and he’s been here for two years at or been there at Old Miss for two years played exceptionally well wants to get paid but ol Miss doesn’t have the
Structure to pay him what he wants or what he feels he’s worth or what someone else will because they’re allocating their money to the portal not retention or high school they are 100% on the portal on Portal so the dollar amount in total may not be dramatic Al different as I
Understand it the more I dig in you’ve got about a dozen schools that are outpacing everybody and you know which schools they are you could look around and see it’s Texas it’s A&M you Florida State a year ago you know you know Tennessee you know the schools that are that are spending that
That are outpacing everybody with their money and it’s you know it’s 10 12 schools and then there’s a group of about 30 that are all really what and what and LSU’s in that group LSU is in that 30 they’re not in that top 10 12 they’re in that group of
30ish that’s all pretty comparable and then you have the have kns the difference among those 30 or so in the middle is allocation of funds it’s how you’re spending your money it’s why earlier this week when I talked about Lance herd and a lot of you pushed back on me and you’re like
He just wants to play left tackle of course he wants to play left tackle but that wasn’t the thing pushing him Lance herd wanted a bigger bag that was his number one priority he had a number he wanted it and the way LSU was allocating their funds in their
Collective it couldn’t support that number so if you can get it somewhere else go get it and he did it will be fascinating to see if this continues to adjust because I told you this as well LSU gave Lance herd the collective gave Lance herd six figures coming out
Of Neville low six figures first number was a one was low it was low six figures but it’s still six figures and what did you get you got a backup for one year you going to do that again or you going to take that deal and
Give it to someone in the portal what if you had that money a year ago that you could have given to Keon Coleman or Braden Fisk how different does the season look right I think that’s the evolution that you’re going to start to see you’re going to see less nil money
Going to kids in high school because they’re telling you it’s not even the thing at the top of their priority list and you’re going to use that money more for retention of your current roster and bringing guys in via the portal and I’m going tell you one of the
Most interesting things there’s a company you probably haven’t heard of they’re called Ascend um excuse me it’s it’s Ascend medial a as c n d Ascend and this isn’t a plug for them I have I have no uh affiliation with them whatsoever there not a plug I don’t even
Know if they’re good at what they do but a lot of collectives are using this business this company as a way to drum up uh donor support um for example you know LSU has buou Traditions right I I’ll pull up the website probably if you or if you can I
Don’t know if you can Paulie um I want to pull it up and a lot of people a lot of LSU fans don’t even know this exists here it is it’s by you Traditions Collective byut Traditions collective.com I’m share like I’ll share this with you I I don’t mind sharing this with you
But the way that LSU is set up primarily right now is there’s about 25 people there’s about 25 donors there’s about 25 donors that are funding the entire Collective is is basically where LSU’s at right now Old Miss has about 5,000 that’s the difference because if one or a handful
Of LSU’s topped owner say I’m done with that then now your your total pool of money comes way down Old Miss Auburn have done a really good job of of mobilizing their fan base for lack of a better way of saying it and I’m not talking about big money I’m talking 10
To 20 bucks a month but when you get 5,000 people I’m total a send has got garnered 5,000 subscriptions from M Miss fans so if you have 5,000 people giving 10 or 20 bucks a month well now all a sudden you’re talking about a dramatically different outcome with what
You’re able to to raise and what you’re able to spend so that’s the big difference for what it’s worth I was told today and I asked and was given a what I believe to be a candid answer um the monthly contribution that LSU has through bu Traditions there are there
Are 300 supporters there there are 300 fans donating $10 or $20 a month 300 Auburn has 3,000 Miss has 5,000 that’s the biggest difference right now LSU has about 20 25 people funding their Collective they’ve not gotten the fan support the way places like Old Miss and Auburn have
And LSU can scale dramatically if you get if they get the fan support and I would be very clear about one other thing I know I’m going long here but I want be be very clear about one other thing I am not sitting here encouraging you to give to LSU’s Collective please
Do not misunderstand me if you want to do it but I will never sit here and tell you what you should do with your disposable income that is your money I buy whiskey and shoes lots of too I buy I got lots of whiskey and lots of shoes
It’s how I spend my money I haven’t given LSU’s Collective a dime so please do not misunderstand me I’m not not telling you or encouraging you to give your money I’m just sharing you with sharing with you information about a topic that everybody talks about that you may not
Know and right now that’s the biggest difference and that’s the hurdle LSU needs to learn how to clear when I say LSU I mean the collective by the LSU Collective from go Enterprises to now Bayou Traditions has gone through several iterations they brought in Brent Cunningham he was here for maybe 6 weeks
And then he left and there have been a lot of different iterations and evolutions and match point is involved and do a great job of you know monitoring a lot of the the deliverables and there’s just there’s it’s it’s still new and so there’s a lot of evolution
And this is a part where they got to improve they’ve got to find a way to engage the fan base to say hey if you give 10 20 bucks a month then you ain’t gonna have a collect you’re not going to have a collective you’re going to have an nil
Problem anymore if you can do that but how do you do that that’s a real challenge that they have not figured out yet and if they do then LSU could find itself in that top 10 12 collectives but they’re not there today uh they got a ways to go to do it
But it seems like they’re figuring it out every day getting closer to it so okay I went really long I I was already supposed to be out of break and have my triplet on let me break really quickly we’ll come back Mike triplets next it’s AFR AFR speaking of nil Gordon mcer and

Mike triplet of New Orleans do football presented by Benny scar wash family-owned and operated since 1951 all right week 18 Mike’s been doing this with us since August it’s been a lot of Thursdays Mike you might be our last one man how are you might be the last one but stranger
Things have happened right uh that is true I I’ll probably bother you next week anyway to do a postmortem even if they don’t make the play um all right so they’ve won three out of four man um are they actually getting better or is it just they played a lot of crappy
Teams uh it’s probably more the latter uh based on how bad that Rams game lost I mean three out of four would sound a lot better if they didn’t play their worst game of the season in the fourth um against probably the best team they played all season I mean it just it
Really felt like getting exposed and outlasted in that game so do that makes you temper Your Enthusiasm I mean all along though I mean like even my highest pre season expectations for this team were predicting them to go 10 and seven to win the NFC South so I think if they
Could beat Tampa in the fashion they did and back that up by beating Atlanta in in Fairly convincing fashion winning both of those rematches then they’d be close to realizing their potential which was you know still not a special potential but they’re supposed to be the best team in this division so that
That’s still in play um but predicting consistency predicting that you know because they won last week they’re going to look good good again the next week we haven’t seen that from this team in years that look I mean to your point they had the worst game of the season
Against the Rams came back and I would say played their best game of the season against the bucks but that’s yeah the definition of an inconsistent team was was that their best game against Tampa yeah I mean and the previous best I think was the Giants right before they
Went out to Los Angeles so I I think they’ve played their two best games over the last three weeks um I think you can genuinely say their offense has made you know small but significant improvements in the second half of the year I mean they looked like a disaster early on
Especially the offensive line I think Dar Carr has played his best football third Downs Red Zone like a lot of things we talked about um have gotten better I I think if the second half of this season team was the first half of the season I don’t think there would
Have been the you know the hatred and Revolt reaction at least not great but you know respectable um you know what you brought up the offensive line and I shared this earlier in the week and this this surprised me because I think we’d all agree the offensive line has has not
Been great this year but they’re actually second in the NFL and fewest sacks allowed only the ners with 31 have allowed fewer sacks than the Saints 32 are they better than we’re giving them credit for I mean to be honest that’s kind of a surprising statistic when you consider
How how how many they piled up early in the year um yeah I mean I still don’t like their run blocking um um I ha you know I hate it when they try to run the ball on First and 10 with a running back and they don’t get anywhere and it puts them
Behind I think that’s been kind of a continued weakness all year long uh but it’s definitely the most impr their pass protection is definitely the most improved unit on this team I’d say in the second half of the season so if the end results you know say that I
Just think we’d look a lot differently at them if they started out playing this way instead of you know taking so long to get Mike triplet is with us he’s on Twitter at Mike triplet new orleans. foot chats every week are brought to you by Benny’s Car Wash um Mike I’m I’m
Split a little between one to talk about this game Sunday and the future because I think the future is what everybody’s probably more interested in right now but uh the last time these two teams played that was that sort of Infamous game where the Saints put up 400 yards
But were 0 and five in the red zone and Ritter through two inter ceptions and it was absurd that they didn’t win this game um I mean Saints should win Sunday in the dome right I mean are well I don’t know about that um I I think that I I’d
Call it a a 5050 coin flip tossup honestly um because I do think the Saints will do a better job of scoring points um I think that was a little fluky how bad they were in the Red Zone I think their offense has you know gotten a little better I trust them be
Able to score points but I have no evidence that they’re going to be any better at stopping Atlanta’s Run game and Atlanta has one of the better run games in the league and they also have one of the most stubborn Run games in the league so they’re going to continue
To run uh from first quarter through fourth quarter and and we’ve SE no evidence that the Saints have an answer for it I I think that was probably one of the lowest points of the entire season when their season was on the line when they played each other just six
Weeks ago they were coming off a buy they had to finish strong they knew Atlanta was going to run against them and they couldn’t stop it so I’ll believe it when I see if they can stop it yeah I it’s just we’ve talked about it all year it’s the nature of an inconsistent
Team there’s no reason to believe any given week that you you can expect to see what you might see from that that team which of course is a reflection of of the coaching staff like I know this has been a big question all year long with Dennis Allen if he’s going to be
Back it certainly seems like they’re leing toward I you can feel pretty good about it I mean I think it would have taken losing the last three to change that and and having their best win of the season I think really should end it so why why is this organization
Convinced that Dennis Allen can get them where they want to go well I don’t I I mean I wouldn’t say convinced but I I I mean it’s it’s harder to fire somebody than I think most people appreciate in the media in the fan base um you know Nick made the point where
He’s like it’s easy to fire someone on Twitter it’s hard to do it in real life I mean you get fired from a job you really failed I mean this team could go nine and eight I I agree it’s not good enough and I agree the expectation
Should be higher the standard should be higher but fired is like getting it out you know I mean you know it it it’s not an F season and and they don’t put all the blame on Dennis Allen so it’s really hard for them to be like you know you
Failed so badly that you’re never going to coach again in this league and we’re firing you after two years it doesn’t happen around the league often and and on top of that the Saints firmly believe that the teams that are firing their coach every one or two years are are the
Teams that you know aren’t having success they’re not looking at Carolina and saying see there’s a team that’s got it figured out so uh I I think he had to failed pretty spectacularly to lose his job in two years that doesn’t mean that I’m saying he’s done a great job and
People don’t recognize it not at all but you know they’re just not laying this all at the feet of him they they also recognize the draft failures and the injury failures that that have led to it so they’re not going to they’re not painting it all on him but you know I I
Do know that unfortunately that’s gonna be hard to sell next year because we’re not going to look at this team next year and be like well this team’s gonna be way better um they’re going to be older and they’re going to have the same coach in the same
Quarter who do you lay the or who does the organization lay the draft failures at at the feet of then well I mean I think it’s a a total picture I mean first of all in the big picture they’re a team that lost Shawn pton and Drew
Brees um and you know and then they’ve dropped off after losing Shawn pyton and Drew bre that that was expected but I mean I think the I think the replenishing the talent pool has been a big problem obviously they have the salary cats and strength so they can’t
Just go out and buy new players in free agency I don’t think they’ve had a really productive draft since 2017 a couple guys here and there Paul mivo uh Pete Werner Chris alve but you know the the first round picks that haven’t panned out I mean there there’s
Holes on the roster and uh um I you know the offense is obviously early in the season was a bigger disappointment than the defense the defense started having some Wards later in the year so I I just I just don’t think they see it as as
Dennis Allen is is is The Fall Guys unfortunately um I I don’t think they Al you know I don’t think they can look at it and be like this guy this guy’s got all the answers and he’s going to get us back to the promised land next year I
Don’t know how you could have that opinion is Pete carmichel the Fall Guy probably all questions I should ask you next week I think there’s a great chance I mean uh now that is an improved unit as we talked about I mean you just mentioned the stack totals they got
Better at that they got better in the Red Zone they got better on third down D cars got better they started scoring more points so he shown Improvement but I mean that’s that’s where you have to sell the hope I and look if if if there
Was a way for Pete Carle to be part of it uh you know maybe they show him the respect to have a job for him but I think this was the year where it was like all right you need to show that it can look radically different and it’s an
Offense that needs to look radically different I think I’d be very surprised if we don’t see major changes on that side of the coaching staff does does fan sentiment matter to the organization Mike I mean I think you understand what I’m saying just to clarify yeah like
Does I think we all like to think our our voice matters and we and we and we’re heard collectively but will the organization be moved Mrs Benson Mickey Lumis Dennis La who’s ever making these decisions will they be moved by fan sentiment I mean I think that’s
Impossible to ignore I mean when you saw the empty seats oh the the Lions fans in the Dome the empty seats the next week against Carolina I I think that’s legitimate I mean you have to worry about selling tickets I know a lot of people who you
Know just through apathy not even anger are just like yeah I’m just not into this team anymore I you know I’m getting rid of my season taker that has to matter at some point but fan emotion they try to take fan level emotion out of their decisions because fans are you
Know fans were ready to fire Dennis Allen four weeks into last season you know like um and and you know they still could win this Division and go to the playoffs but certainly any one more win along the way they were going to win this Division and go to the playoffs so
They don’t want to be the reactionary we’ve lost three in a row fire everybody that that’s not how they’re ever gonna operate and they’re not going to let emotional fans who feel that way sway them but yeah if this product continues to you know make the fan apathy grow and
Grow of course that makes a difference okay uh What scenario is more likely on Sunday the Saints winning and Tampa losing or the Saints winning Green Bay Seattle losing and getting a wild cart I would say probably the first one just because all of those games to me are
6040 5545 5050 whatever you want to call them but I’ll still take the paths where you only need two things to happen as opposed to the Past path where you need three things to happen yeah but obviously out of all those games I mean I definitely think Chicago has a decent
Chance of beating Green Bay and Arizona has a decent chance of of beating Seattle probably more so than I feel Carolina has a chance of beating Tampa Bay but that Tampa Bay team we just saw us four days ago didn’t didn’t look like a world beater yeah that that Line’s
Four and a half the Tampa Carolina line for his for his well I’ll tell you the one we’re talking gambling here the gambling section I was just talking to somebody about this the other day somebody told me that the odds of Atlanta winning the division are six and
A half to one that seems crazy to me like I think Atlanta could definitely win this game like I I’m surprised it’s that high like those two results could absolutely happen I mean this is the NFC South we’re talking about it’s it’s a division that nobody seems to want to
Win um and why can me say it like I know we talked about it back in week three but you led 17 nothing in the fourth quarter against Green Bay and lost that game that’s the one that’s the one that’s the one that they’re always gonna
I mean it I knew it that day I was like no matter what happens this season it will make a difference it’ll it’ll make a difference in seeding or whether they get in or not sure enough that’s the one you’d love to replay huh H week 18

The case of an after hours emergency after further review with Matt musona presented by the aesthetic medicine and anti-aging Clinics of Louisiana Baton Rouge Lafayette and online at the anti-aging clinics.com all right we are going to roll right through it here we’ll get to what to watch otter
Loocks in about 10 minutes from right now Jimmy was three and0 last night on his college basketball picks and the night before obviously hit his college basketball play as well so it’s four in a row an undefeated week so far for the otter here we’ll get his
Picks coming up here in less than 10 minutes so get your your draftking Sportsbook app out and uh and let’s roll all right Muse let’s hit it here’s what we’re watching this football weekend all right Muse fire away all right so you just asked Mike which was more uh which scenario is more
Likely to come true for the Saints how about for the Steelers this is absurd the Ste the Steelers have five different opportunities to get in the playoffs if they win and buffalo loses they’re in if they win and Jacksonville loses or ties they’re in if they win in Houston and
Indianapolis tie they’re in and then there’s two options for them to get in without winning the win should I want say should it could be a little easier without Lamar Jackson playing but with those five options Win Lose or tie and they can get in feels like the Steelers
They’re pretty safe bie so it’s still a three- team Race in the AFC South you got the Jaguars the Colts and the Texans all at 9 and seven Jaguars control their own destiny if they win their in but Trevor Lawrence missed last week but he
He was at practice all this week so will he play the Texans and the Colts face each other Saturday night so it’ll be a two- team Race by Sunday the Jaguars will face the Titans Sunday at noon final game for B Bell chicken New England uh the Pats are at home they’re
Taking on the Jets who are woful Zack Wilson’s not with the team anymore bill belich and the Patriots will not be in the playoffs for the third time in four years this is the worst season ever for Bill bich as a head coach and it might very well be his last watching the
Greatest of all time perhaps coach’s final game in New England man who doesn’t love a winner take all scenario right that’s what you have in Miami this week dolphins and bills the winner of that game will win the AFC East how about the run the Buffalo Bills have been on man I mean
Five of six including at the Chiefs they beat the Cowboys in that stretch as well Dolphins will be a tough test this is big for our predictions too I think Paulie and I both had the bills and you had the uh the Dolphins in our in our uh preseason picks
There so if the Saints don’t win the division they still can make a wild card but we need to watch two teams in particular and that’s the Packers and the Seahawks the Packers will face the Bears the Seahawks will face the Cardinals not likely both of those teams
Lose but there are two teams that the Saints will have an eye on on Sunday well just Piggyback in there obviously the NFC South we’re keeping an eye on that for the Saints but then also the other game will be Tampa Bay and the Carolina Panthers uh we talked about it
With Mike a little bit but the Panthers are four and a half Point dog and it’s not easy to cheer for Carolina or anybody in the NFC South but one of the things the NFL has done exceptionally well is backloaded schedule with divisional games to make sure all these
Tiebreakers and divisional games uh and and uh divisional championships are clinched in week 18 and it’s going to be that for the Saints and um uh the Saints the Falcons and the Bucks all on Sunday playing at noon all right so the Carolina Panthers clinched the worst record in the NFL
Last week which means the Chicago Bears get the number one pick so that race is is over but what about the jocky position in the top five you could have three quarterbacks go in the top five you got three teams at 4 and 12 but Washington they’re not likely to beat
The Cowboys so they’ll probably lock up number two but what could happen at 3 four and five can the Patriots beat the Jets that give them another win and potentially knock them out of the top five the Giants Cardinals facing the Seahawks lot of movement there with a heavy quarterback class something to
Keep an eye on the NFC East is still up for grabs both the Cowboys and the Eagles sit at 11 and five the Cowboys are now on the driver seat for that division both teams are on the road in week 18 the Eagles will head to New York to face the Giants
Winnable game Cowboys will be in Washington winnable game both the Giants and the commanders changed their quarterbacks last week so if all holds true the Cowboys will be the NFC East champ and just sort of some flowers for the NFL but also recent a a plan um
Every year in week 18 they do this because the way they set the TV schedule is so that you have games that matter happening at the same time so you don’t impact at a later time slot what happened earlier what I mean is there’s a lot of Sundays where in the 325 slide
You might have two or three games going on this week you’ve got two games Saturday six noon kickoffs s 325 Central kickoffs and of course you’ve got Sunday Night Football with Buffalo at Miami the NFL does a great job in week 18 making sure that there’s games throughout the
Day so everybody’s playing hard why can’t you do this all throughout the year give me multiple games in all the windows they’ll give me 18 games at noon and then one at 3:25 I’m done seeing Dallas at 3:25 every week all right there you have it that’s what we’re
