0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>by Seacake. You'll hear from players, coaches, broadcasters and writers

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that cover the NFL on a daily basis. The New

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Saints Podcast starts right now. Here's your host, Aaron Summers.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 2>The Saints Hall of Fame Celebrity Golf Tournament took place

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 2>at the Chateau Golf and Country Club on Monday. So

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>many people came out, nearly fifty former and current Saints

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>players along with EVP and GM, Mickey Loomis, and head

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 2>coach Kellen Moore. It was a lot of fun. There

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of good conversation, some questionable golf, and

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 2>a few first timers like wide receiver Bub Means he

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>had never been to a golf course before Monday in

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>his life. It is a big event every year for

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the Saints Hall of Fame. Legends and Hall of famers

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>come out, like Michael Lewis.

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the biggest thing is to see those guys,

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, to interact with the older guys that was

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 3>here before me, the guys I played with, the guys

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 3>right after me, and the new guys you know, to

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 3>have all us come out here at one time, you know,

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 3>to get to interact with each other, to get to

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 3>know who each other are or whatever, because I know

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 3>every year, like I say, you know, I'm always doing

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 3>stuff with the organization. I'm always around and things like that.

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 3>But just to get those new guys and you know,

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 3>talk to them and things like that, I think that

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 3>makes it special.

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 4>And then also with the.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Saints Hall of Fame golf tournament where all the people

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 3>that comes out get a chance to interact with us

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 3>as well.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 4>I think that's the most important thing about it.

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Are you the best golfer out here?

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Of course, why wouldn't I say it. I wouldn't be

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 3>the best golfer out here. I mean I would be

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 3>wrong for that.

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 4>Nah, I'm not that good. I'm just out here.

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>The day started off with some words from more and Loois.

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.120

<v Speaker 2>loves to play golf and it was his first big

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:03.920

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 5>three birdies technically a hole in one on one, but

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 5>three real birdies. So we got a solid team playing well.

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.639

<v Speaker 5>the first hole about thirty feet, hit it to about

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 5>three feet. We used that one and then the rest

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 5>of them. These guys have been killing it.

<v Speaker 5>best out in everybody.

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Kick or Blake Groupie was a natural, an avid golfer

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and prankster. He gave Read an exploding golf ball to

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>tee off with. Obviously didn't tell Reid when he hit

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 2>the ball it did. It literally exploded and pieces went

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>everywhere along with a huge cloud of dust. You can

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>check out sat social media for that footage. Pretty funny moment.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Within the day, Groopy and Charlie Smith were together throughout

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the day. The banter back and forth was great and group.

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>He was a good sport. He took over the social

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 2>media for the day. What do you like about being

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:07.520

<v Speaker 6>to get to interact with fans and and get back

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 6>at in the community. And we're trying some I think Cleasys.

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 6>It's up and uptown, so a lot of different food,

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 6>a lot of different events and people out here. So

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 6>it's a great time.

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>When you come to events like this, you just interact

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 2>with the fans obviously games and stuff like that. What's

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 2>been one of your most memorable interactions with fans.

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, I've had some some funny ones. Obviously, they usually

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 6>have some jokes, but you know, it's it is events

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 6>like these making connections out in the community. I played

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.559
<v Speaker 6>in the glease and tournament with you know, Rick Ferrell,

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 6>the owner walk On. So it's all about getting out

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 6>there and just meeting the people that support us, you know,

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 6>because that's what's it's all for, you know, at the

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 6>end of the day.

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>How would you rate your golf game?

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 6>Oh, today we've been We've been playing all right. We've

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 6>been playing all right. We got some ringers in our group, though,

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 6>there's some some long bombers off the tee, so we'll

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 6>give it. We'll give it like an eight and a

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 6>half today.

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I think I just heard a ball go into a

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 2>bush right behind us, so we to be careful. We

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 2>got Caesar over here.

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 6>He might have hooked it. This is his home course,

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 6>so you gotta you know, he has no excuses out

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 6>here today, but looks like he's the middle of the fairways,

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 6>so you know, maybe he'll he'll hit it straight next time.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Who is the best teammate of yours on the golf course?

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 6>I think if you asked the team, that's gonna be

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.119
<v Speaker 6>pretty pretty unanimous on Hainer. Uh. He's he's pretty nasty

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 6>out here. I think he's like a better.

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 6>Maybe he's working out.

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 6>He's probably what we should all be doing right now.

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>How have the off season workouts been.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 6>They've been great, you know, with Ted and the new staff.

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 6>Obviously a lot of energy and really excited to get

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 6>out there tomorrow for our first ota and just get

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 6>back to work. And and you know, you see how

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 6>how we're gonna work with Kellen and so watch this team,

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, building and come together.

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>What is something about Kellen Moore that maybe we don't

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>know yet. Kellen.

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.159

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 6>you know, I feel like it's almost like, you know,

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.080

<v Speaker 6>from everything so far with me, he's been a great guy.

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 6>A lot of respect for him, and I can't wait

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 6>to get out there and work for him.

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.680

<v Speaker 7>So we're having a great time.

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 2>How has it been getting acclimated to the new coaching staff.

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 7>Uh, it's you know, not hard, easy, you know, I

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 7>had news my first two years there, and uh, you

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 7>know Coach Moore and uh, you know, the whole whole staff,

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 7>everybody that came in just you know, very welcome and easy,

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 7>you know, easy to listen to, you know, great coaching

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 7>points and may all see a lot of ball. So

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 7>it's great being around him. You know, it's easy to

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 7>learn from him.

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, it's good with the OTA's coming up, and

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 2>then obviously mandatory mini camp. You're gonna have the fans

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 2>out there as well. What do you like about this

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 2>part of the off season.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's just good to get out on the

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 7>field again. You know, I fought this. I wouldn't get

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 7>on the field until July, so was get out to

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 7>get out there on the field to your teammates. You know,

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 7>get a field for everybody, you know, get a field

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 7>for the playbooks. And you know, I started playing some

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 7>football again, and you know, it's definitely great when has

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 7>the fans out there this year, so, you know, having

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 7>the fans out there and doing things with them, you know,

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 7>it's always fun.

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I was standing with Blake Groupy on another hole and

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 2>we almost got hit by a ball and he said

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 2>it was probably you.

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.599
<v Speaker 7>I think that's very disrespectful on Blake Grouper's part. He

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 7>know my game, you know how I play. I wouldn't

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 7>do anything like that. So tell Blake group become a

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 7>high Let me on a whole thirteen close to the pen.

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 7>See we see, let's play play some ball man.

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 2>For the record, it was not Caesar who shanked the

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>ball onto the course. Blake and I were standing at

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>We're still trying to determine who that was, but it

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 2>is safe to say that it was not Coach Moore.

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>I spoke to more. He understood his strengths and weaknesses

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 2>on the course and stuck to just putting. That is

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>literally all he did during the course of the day.

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>A player who never fully commits to a round but

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 2>bounces from hold to hole each year is always cam Jordan.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Jordan has been known to take over the beverage cart,

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>hop in and happy gilmour tea shot, or fly through

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.199
<v Speaker 2>neighborhoods to get away from well me. That was last year,

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 2>so this year I tracked him down early. What do

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you like about being out here today?

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 8>The sense of camaraderie. You know, this is where you

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 8>really build relationships. And a golf cart by.

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Yourself, but you're out here with a lot of other people. Teammates.

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 8>I'd love to see fans that are supporting. I love

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 8>to see teammates old and new. Who's old who's coming in?

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.079
<v Speaker 8>I mean, clearly I'm old, but I'm saying like the

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 8>retired ones, any retired ones this year?

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Who I mean always comes DU's Ricky Michael Lewis.

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 4>Is here deer man. Okay, yeah, can't wait to see

0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 4>my guys every now and again. You get like a

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 4>good papa. I can't wait.

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 2>How have the off season workouts been, I hope say fruitful?

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 8>You know, I think that with our new strength coach

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 8>coming in, hopefully that eliminates a lot of these you

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 8>know whatever whatever has been going on last couple of years.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 8>We're trying to get a fully healthy Saints team for

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 8>the next five years.

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 2>And when you look forward to OTAs, what do you hope?

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're about to be here, so you got

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>to have That's.

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 4>What I look forward to. It's like playing flag football with.

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 2>The new head coach and almost a whole new coaching staff.

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 2>What are the goals here for the next few.

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Weeks to gel as a team? I mean, this is

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 4>where you get the outings.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 8>This is where you get the golf tournaments or like

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 8>the d line did the last couple of days go

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.959
<v Speaker 8>to you know the five oh four.

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 4>It's where you go eat. This where you get know

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 4>your teammates.

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.959
<v Speaker 8>This is where you put the foundation in so when

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 8>we do put pads on, when we play real football,

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:51.199
<v Speaker 8>we can get down to it. This is where you

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 8>start learning to playbook. This is where you get familiar

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 8>with what we want to do. We get on the

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 8>same accord.

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 2>The schedule just came out. Any game that you're looking

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>forward to any day?

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 8>I haven't even come on, we both know I haven't looked.

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 8>All I care about is Week one? Who we play

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 8>Week one?

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 6>Car?

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Here we go?

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 8>There we go, Yeah, we do preseason or regular season?

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.679
<v Speaker 8>Here we go, yep, love it. Kyler Murray, he's he's

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 8>getting taller.

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:12.559
<v Speaker 4>I've heard.

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:14.839
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on the quarterback room now that

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Derek Carr's retired.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.719
<v Speaker 4>I think we got a young room, or maybe we

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 4>got an old roam. Shucks like seven thirty. Got it? Yeah, Oh,

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 4>can't wait. I haven't met him yet. Can't wait to

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 4>meet him and go through a training camp with him.

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 8>I think you got guys like Spencer Ratler that saw

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 8>some playing time last year, Jay Hayter, so you know,

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 8>guys that have time and room to develop and improve.

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 4>I think with the young quarterback room there comes potential.

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 2>What area of your golf game are you working on today?

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 8>A lot like our quarterback room. I'm just trying to

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 8>show what I've got now. Unlike the quarterback room.

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I'm.

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Talented, all right, Well, Cam, good luck out there, and

0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>usually you get the beer cart going.

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm gonna try and be better. No I'm not.

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm probably gonna end up fright where I've always been.

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. Cam is probably the most dressed down of

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 2>the bunch, rocking a sleeveless tank top. Bub Means, however,

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.079
<v Speaker 2>attacked his first trip to the course by googling a

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 2>picture of Tiger Woods and replicating the look Polo buttoned

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 2>all the way up and khaki pants. He did throw

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>on a bucket hat for good measure against the sun,

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 2>which is understandable, though he did say next time around

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>he would wear shorts in Louisiana weather. The receiver was

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>paired with a legend Hall of Famer and golf officionado

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.440
<v Speaker 2>induce McAllister. Okay, So I was told that Bub has

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 2>never seen a golf course before he got here today.

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>How's he doing.

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 10>He's doing good, he's learning and so you know, told

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 10>him this is a game where it's a little more peaceful,

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.199
<v Speaker 10>you know, then guys chasing after you and running over

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.199
<v Speaker 10>you or trying to hit you. So it's been good

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 10>you know, just teaching him just putting. We start with

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:55.959
<v Speaker 10>putting and then you'll get a couple of swings on

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 10>part three. So it's good. It's fun.

0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>They had to pair him up with you.

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 10>Paired him up with me, and you know, I told him,

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 10>you know, hey, look, you know it's too hot out

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 10>here because he has the long pants on it. So, man,

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 10>we're in Losiana. You gotta wear some shorts out here.

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 10>You know, if not, you're gonna burn up. But it's

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 10>been good just to ride around and just talk to him,

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 10>and you know, he's looking to have a big, big

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.319
<v Speaker 10>upcoming year, you know, after dealing with some injuries and

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.079
<v Speaker 10>not having a personal or team success last year.

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:21.839
<v Speaker 4>So it's been good.

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people are making a lot of the

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 2>young core of this team, especially in the quarterback room.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts, It's work in progress.

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 10>I mean some of those guys have played obviously, you know,

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 10>you talk about Jake and Spence, those guys being able

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 10>to do what they've done, and just you know, the

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 10>toughest thing for me when you talk about young quarterbacks,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 10>particularly those two having to change offense, you know every year,

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 10>not being able to go in and you know, just

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 10>being able to grow on the things that you were

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 10>able to do the year before and you know, now

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.439
<v Speaker 10>it's another off season where I'm learning. But you know,

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 10>they're young guys. Hopefully that staff is able to kind

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.079
<v Speaker 10>of blend in systems where they're familiar with terminology and

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.599
<v Speaker 10>you know kind of are something that they're familiar with

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:02.839
<v Speaker 10>and you know they.

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Can grow with the OTA starting. How do you evaluate

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>with the new coaching staff how things are going through

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>this part of the off season.

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:11.599
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, the biggest thing that you want to see is

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 10>how they pick up the system. You know, are guys

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.839
<v Speaker 10>making pre snap mistakes. That's one of the things that

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 10>you don't want, I mean, because the game is only

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 10>going to speed up once you put the pads on,

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 10>and so can they go out there and execute fast quick?

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 10>Can I get in and out the huddle without having

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 10>to repeat it? Can I get in and out the

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 10>huddle with not you know, guys lining up in the

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 10>right places. Those are all the things that you want

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 10>to be able to see right now. And then you know,

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 10>once the paths come on, then I can just play fast.

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 10>I mean, because you don't want God's thinking. You want

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 10>them to be able to go out there and just

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 10>react and playing.

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>With the schedule coming out no primetime games, how do

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 2>you flip that into some motivation.

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 4>You gotta play.

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 10>I mean whether they tell you you're playing at twelve o'clock,

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 10>three oh five or Monday or Thursday, it doesn't matter.

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Just go play.

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 10>I mean, your job is go out there and compete.

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 10>It's up to television, radio, you know when they want

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 10>you to play, But just go play.

0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>What do you like about coming out here? You're always

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the big celebrities that we see on the

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 2>golf course here.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 10>I always enjoyed. I mean, you talk about what the

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 10>Saints Hall of Fame, you know, was able to do,

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 10>and just being able to give back to the community,

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 10>and seeing a lot of the fans that you know

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 10>you're able to interact with, and having current and former players.

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 10>It's always good and so you know, it's a good time,

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 10>and so hopefully it's something that continues to be exciting

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 10>for our fans and obviously our players as well.

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.560
