Welcome back. We're in two hour number two. I'm Jim Rohn. I'm live in Southern California. Nice to have you

here with professional great products for every industry. Granger as you covered, call and click granger.com and stop on by. Hey, listen, by the way, we just spent an entire hour, an entire hour talking about Buffalo Bills. I did it for a half hour. Ross Tucker, who played for the bills, had an incredible breakdown on what they did. Mafia, where are you exactly? I need to hear from you. We just devoted an entire hour to talking about your situation. All right, so get up in here. You know where to find me on the phones, on X via email. Right now, though, we start hour number two. We are joined by a quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. He just wrapped up his rookie season. He threw for over 2,300 yards. He had 10 touchdowns in 11 games. He was named to the all-ro rookie team by the Pro Football Writers of America. He is a finalist for the offensive rookie of the year award, which will be presented at the NFL honors program on February 5th. We are joined right now by Tyler Shuck. Tyler, really appreciate you making time. Dude. How are you doing? Doing good, Jim. How are you? Good, man. Good. Really good to see you. So let me ask you this. After having just a pair of wins through week 13, the team closed the season really strongly. You won four of your last five. What do you think were the biggest reasons for that turnaround and that great finish? I think it was a collective unit. All kind of buying in. I think we'd been through so much as a team where you only had one win at that point. And some of the spirits were there was just a lot of questions going on. I think we all kind of came together and we were just having fun and just, you know, how do we want to finish? How do we want to, you know, strive collectively as a team and what we want to be known for and how can we build? And, you know, that was my whole goal coming in every single day. You know, my goal is just continuing to get better. And, you know, I feel we did that. What about the year overall? Like when you step back right now and you've had a little bit of time to kind of think about it as you've decompressed, you played a major role in that team finishing the way it did. You made your first start on November 2nd. So how much did you learn in your first season on the job? And then what kind of thoughts do you have about your rookie year? Yeah, I mean, the benefit for me was I had every side of the coin. You know, I role. I had, you know, the starting role. I had,

you know, a lot of success. I had a lot, you know, some learning moments early on. And, you know, that was the best thing for me was that I feel like continually I got better. I saw, you know, multiple sides of it. You're in, you know, on a team that, you know, the record isn't necessarily what you wanted to be, but we saw the bright side of the success that we had, what it looked like, you know, the record isn't necessarily what it you wanted to be, but we saw the bright

side of the success that we had, what it looked like, you know, coming together as a team in some of those moments, and then just playing off each other, playing complementary football. And, you know, that was the biggest thing that I learned. And, you know, I feel like each game, each week, you know, I progress. And, you know, I remember thinking at the end of the season. I was like, I mean, I wish we could have a whole other one ready to go right now. Like, I was just kind of itching to keep playing. And it's been, it was a long rookie year for sure. And coming through this time last year, the Senior Bowl, the combine, the draft. And, and it's a lot mentally. But, you know, For me, I felt like I was built for it. And, you know,

I want to continue to do everything I can to keep getting better and be the guy for this team for a long time. Saints quarterback, Tyler Shuck, joining us. You know, a really interesting point you made you right. When you have to get ready for the NFL draft, there's all that work. And then you've got that first season in the NFL. It's a long, long grind mentally and physically. So I'm curious,

what about the off season? What is your plan? How are you approaching it? And what are you

looking to accomplish in the next few months? Yeah, I mean, for me, you know, I haven't left New Orleans. I'm here training at the facility every single day. You know, he took a couple weeks off and spent some time with some friends and family. But still, I've been here I'm expecting you know we're expecting our first baby our first son coming in a couple weeks and we're hunker down here and I'm like I said my whole goal is to kind of keep getting better I'm kind of just chomping at the bit more than anything and I'm excited to be here for Mardi Gras season I'm excited to be here just just, you know, the weather is really nice right now. But I think right now during this dead period is just continue to get my body right, continue to master this offense on my own. And once we kind of hit OTAs, and we got the pieces in place, and everybody's kind of back here in training camp and OTAs. We're hitting the ground rolling.

And we have that standard set and we've got to continue to elevate it. What about that baby? So how's that treating you right now? Are you dream? Do you have like weird dreams as you get closer? Are you going to baby classes? Like, how does it feel? Yeah, I'm doing a, doing a couple of baby classes, reading a bunch of books. It was hard to wrap your mind around during season because you're, you're doing installs.

You're preparing for red zone defenses and third downs.

And once the kind of season ended, it was just like, holy crap, we're going to have a, we're going to have a baby.

I got to switch, you know, my mindset training camp mode for baby mode and dad mode.

But I'm excited, you know, she's sacrificed so much during season and, you know, many coaches and wives and girlfriends of players know it's grueling.

It's a lot of time commitment.

So I'm excited for that, you know, season of life.

But at the same time, doing everything I can to continue to better myself and be the guy for our team. That's it. You want that balance. But I would tell you this, as somebody who's been through it before and our two kids have already left the house, if you had a holy crap moment, like, holy crap, we're having a baby. Just wait until you bring that baby home. That's the really, real, holy crap moment. Like, now what? Now what?

They took all those classes. Dude, I took all those classes. They didn't really exactly tell you what to do once you get home. Maybe they did, but it didn't really sink in until I got home. And I'm like, holy crap, that's our responsibility and we're home. Mm-hmm. And holy crap, he's crapping outside of his diaper, and there's stuff everywhere, and I don't

know what to do.
