  1. Who Dat Nation!!! What was the most interesting thing Tyler said about playing quarterback at this level?
    Drop it below and jump into the discussion! Appreciate ya'll!

  3. @T-Stead….Keep the content coming brother!!!!! I love your mindset! You are truly a great human! I watched you be a dawg on the field!! But, to listen to your pods gives me an entirely new perspective, bro! Respect!!!!

  5. I love this kid man. You should definitely get Rattler on the show too just to see his mindset on things. I like both QBs i hope Rattler gets another chance somewhere.

  6. Remember watching the combine back last year and saying “whoever that Louisville QB is, he has the best arm in the draft”. Everyone wanted to just highlight the one little trick roll out, no look he tried, but all in all, the full tape showed some insane talent. As a Saint fan all 27 years of living, he’s given me the most excitement since drew left. Shough boutta carve this league up. Add Jeremiah love/ Jordan Tyson through the draft, pick up some left side o-line help in free agency, and let’s effin roll

  8. Why are we talking about Shedeur Sanders? This is bizarre. What does this have to do with Shough or the Saints… or for that matter anything given that he was historically bad and probably won't even be in the league in a couple years.

  9. I feel yu on the mind set mentally wise I had been shot 2 different times n car accident, tore my tissue muscle, fractured face , hurting ribs but GoD n a Good Supporting cast was wonderfull

  19. Terron we love you bro. You doing yo thing with this podcast. The guest. The questions. The respect. The love you show. AK41 and now Shough?!?!? Yea you doing this shit fam. Keep up the hard work.

  20. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️

  22. I remembered when we drafted you I was excited to see if you was gonna be any good and you surprised everyone but it did suck when you left. I just subscribed to this bc I’ve enjoyed how you ask question ls about real things and not ask whats his cats mamas name or so dumb crap like that. I’m ready for next season let’s go who dat!

  23. It's hard not to like this guy. To see TStead's face light up when he said "I'm coming back to block for this dude" speaks volumes. And that was just from a 20 min conversation. You know the guys in that locker room are going to lay it on the line for Shough. That's how you elevate a team around you. That's leadership.

  24. Add Cam and you got three great people. City is proud of yall, great interview still got BOA on my playlist.
    Mentor our interior line big bro. We need you! Who Dat! ⚜️

  25. Shough is very smart and aware who he talks to in every interview, the audience and the Saints fans. Sounds like a great kid the more I listen to him the more I realize how smart he is.

  26. T-Stead we need you to call up Kellen and come be a assistant o-line coach or you had a year to let your body heal, come play for a season and be a mentor in the lockeroom to our 2 young tackles

  27. For all you saints fans I said it b4 he got drafted he’s a baby Josh Allen he said it himself proves my point n lets you know the type player we have all or nothing

  28. a saints fans favorite podcaster man, asking him about AK fire cause they haven't had the best experience together on the field but they could really be special
