1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: Late fifteen to ten touchdown. H what's up?

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: Guys?

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Welcome into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly, as always,

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: joined by Matt Muddy Smith. A lot of content this week, buddy.

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: This team has been going since Monday with promo day

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: and Camp Pendleton on Tuesday, and obviously Mini Camp coming

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: to a close on Thursday. So a lot to dive into.

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: But gosh, I have to tell you I was down

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: of Camp Pendleton. It was pretty awesome special. It was

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: really really special to see all the heroes out there,

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Coach Harball changing the rules on the fly. Everybody was

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: in the stands and he said, you know what, if

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: you want to come on down to the grass, come

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: on down, you know, just not the playing field, but

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: come on down. And it was just like a it

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: was like a concert, like a mosh pit. Everyone's coming down.

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: And obviously everybody was respectful and it was cool to allow,

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: uh everybody check out the walkthrough and then the meet

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: and greet and tell you what, I don't know if

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: there's another hey coach in football that maybe popular or

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: more popular than the players, right, I think it's it's

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Harball and Herbert right and and and Jim was so

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: gracious signed everything, and they had to get security to

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: get him out of there. He wasn't gonna leave. It

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: was really cool.

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the thing with with Coach Harbaugh

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: is just that there's a there's a genuineness to it.

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: It's not and that's.

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: One of the things that that I was talking to

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: one of the you know, the beat writers today and

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: he was talking about how it's like, you know, you

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: ask him a question and it just never quite answers it.

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: It's just it's always kind of all over. They say

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: that that's what's so endearing about him is it's it's so authentic,

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: and it's like him standing there talking to these people

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: and looking at him and saying, way, these are these

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: are our service men and women, Like what are we doing?

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: Just get him down here, man? Why why is there

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: this barrier between you and me? And that's just how

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: he processes and how he thinks. And you know, I

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 3: don't think it's calculated. I think there's an innocence to it,

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: and it's it is what makes he feels feels like

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 3: your dad, you know, if you're I'm certainly too old

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: to say it feels like my dad, But I think

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: that's what it is, is there's like this very fatherly

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: quality to him, which is often the case in football coaches,

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: especially when you talk to players.

48
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: But I think the.

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: City and the greater Southern California, the greater Los Angeles

50
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: area and most of Southern California and Charger fans for

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: that matter, are feeling pretty darn good that he's their

52
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: head coach. And I think it's those moments that you

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: just described that add to the forty four and whatever

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: his record is forty four nineteen and one record that

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: he's got as a head coach. But it's just the

56
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: person and the genuine and the quality person that he is.

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: He talked about it really being kind of the So

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: Cal Chargers, right. There's so many Charger fans down in

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: San Diego. And it wasn't just football fans on the base, buddy,

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: these were diehard Charger fans. I saw seyau jerseys and

61
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, obviously a lot of Herbert jerseys hardball jerseys.

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: So to have a guy who has played in the league,

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: played for the San Diego Chargers and knows what the

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: lighton bolt means to people in all of Southern California,

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: it just felt like a really cool moment and almost

66
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: something that I hope we see year after year down

67
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: to Camp Pendleton.

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope.

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: So.

70
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I get that many of the San

71
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: Diego fans don't like me, and that's fine. You know,

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm the voice of the Los Angeles Chargers and they

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: have this, you know, romantic relationship with Josh because he

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: was their playback play guy, and I get that, and

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: that's totally fine. That is not an issue for me

76
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: at all because I understand that that anger and frustration

77
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: and you used to you know, have a team that

78
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: had your name in front of it instead of Los Angeles.

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: At the same time, I feel is now I'm you know,

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: going into my seventh year. I feel like, or is

81
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: it our eighth.

82
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: Year and.

83
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: Seven year this is your eight this is year.

84
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, So going into my eighth year, seven years down now,

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: I have noticed that I am engaging more and more

86
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: with people from San Diego through social media, at the tailgate,

87
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 3: walking around the stadium. There have been and I hope

88
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 3: that's the case. You know, I'm not going to be

89
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: foolish and say, oh, they're all coming back. I know

90
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: some have written them off, but it does feel like

91
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 3: they're starting to come back, and is you know, someone

92
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: who travels a lot before I got the Charger job,

93
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: calling games in different spots. Go to Green Bay, Wisconsin,

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: and you know, I know what that drive for Milwaukee is.

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: I know what the drive from western Wisconsin like. People

96
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: drive a couple hours to get to these football stadiums.

97
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: That's you know, you go to the Chicago game and

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: you're going as far east as Michigan City, Indiana, as

99
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: far as Gurney, I mean, as far west as the

100
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: Iowa Illinois BORHI mean those people are driving two hours.

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: And I think there is something to what coach Harbaugh

102
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: was saying about doing his best to say, Hey, I

103
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: was a San Diego Charger. I love Los Ange know,

104
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: and I'm I'm an LA guy. You know, I've lived

105
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: here for thirty two years. I love LA I have

106
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: and I love San Diego selfishly. It's a great city.

107
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: So I'm hopeful that they'll continue, especially if the winning comes,

108
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: and especially of Harbaugh's as special as we think he is,

109
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: I'm hopeful that they can somehow reconcile that relationship and

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: come back. It would be It would be great because

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: having a football team that you feel passion for every

112
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: Sunday as a pretty special thing in the United States.

113
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I tell you what, man, it made me feel good.

114
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: I talked to so many fans who say they love

115
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: charges weekly and they're asking about money. Where's money? Every

116
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: time I go somewhere, maybe not every time, but every

117
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: once in a blue moon, someone will point and say

118
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: he's mad Muddy Smith, And you know, I hope I

119
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: represent you well, buddy, when it's not mat Muddy Smith.

120
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: You know.

121
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: But it was really neat to see how many people

122
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: watch the podcast, listen to the podcast, and it just

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: it made you feel good because this team is really

124
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: coming together. And the one observation I had from Camp Peddalton,

125
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: just like an overarching takeaway, is I really do feel

126
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: like Jim Harball is such a big star that he's

127
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: taking a lot of pressure off these players, like he's

128
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: putting all the pressure on his shoulder, and he loves it.

129
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: And I think these guys are following him, and I

130
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: think it will lead to them playing maybe a little

131
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: bit more freer here in twenty.

132
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: Twenty four, I hope.

133
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: So, you know, building on that and what you were saying,

134
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: think about Derwin James and that the caliber of star

135
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: that he is, and he's one of the biggest players

136
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: that Oakley has signed to an endorsement deal. He's been

137
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: one of the faces of the NFL when he was

138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: an All pros rookie year and won a playoff game

139
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: is rookie year and certainly injuries have derailed his stardom

140
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: a little bit. But he was asked today about coach

141
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: Harbaugh and the one thing that stood out was him saying,

142
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 3: when he walks in the room, you feel it because

143
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: when you when he walks in the room, everybody knows

144
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: he's in the room. Everybody sits up, and I don't.

145
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: I should have the actual transcript of it so I

146
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: can get it right, because if I.

147
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: He said he's the greatest leader I've ever been around, Like, yeah,

148
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: he did say that.

149
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: Here it is.

150
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: When he walks in, he lights he lights up the room.

151
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: Everybody is full attention, no matter what you're doing or

152
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: what you've been doing. He gets your attention because it

153
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: means something to him that's different than a football player

154
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: paying his respects to his new head coach. He's he's

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: a great leader. We love having him here. It's been

156
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: great so far. That's different. Especially Durwin's not the most

157
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: He's not He's he doesn't really I don't know. He

158
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: doesn't really detail things. A lot his his answers tend

159
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: to be a little bit shorter. He's a little laconic

160
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: with his answers. But so they're typically these two sentenced answers.

161
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: But he that stood out to me was that that particular,

162
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: that particular statement, he gets your attention.

163
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: It means something to him.

164
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we want.

165
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: To get into notebook, so I could have my notes,

166
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: but I can't find it.

167
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: Where's where's the notebook?

168
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: Man, disaster? I know I had.

169
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: I had the notebook out at camp today. Man, I'm

170
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: all off schedule.

171
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: I know you have the notebook.

173
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 2: I got it.

174
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: I heard the questions. He gave some great questions, Justin

175
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: and Derwin.

176
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: And you didn't like me asking him if he's going

177
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 3: to be running the ball. He was not into that me. Yeah, you,

178
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean Greg Greg Roman coached Andrew Luck in college,

179
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: Colin Kaepernick, Alex Smith, Lamar Jackson.

180
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm asking you.

181
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: You know he's running the He was like, he's a

182
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: step ahead of you. Money's he knows he's gonna run

183
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: the ball. He's not gonna tell you. He's not gonna

184
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: tell anybody. You had a great question to him too

185
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: about the offense and just the illusion of the run

186
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: with Greg Glilran, and I do think that that's something

187
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: Greg Rohman has not had a quarterback like Justin Herbert

188
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: at the pro level, Like you know, Kylie Kaeperick was

189
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, but Justin's armed the way he processes things,

190
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: the illusion of the run. Having a quarterback like Justin

191
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Man that could be special.

192
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: And I believe him. I believe the answer that he

193
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: gave in. I don't know if it was to that

194
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: question or it might have been the one before it,

195
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: but it was a series. And you can watch the

196
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: videos on Chargers dot com. They do a great job

197
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: of getting those things up there right away so you

198
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: can see. I think it's important to see their facial reactions,

199
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 3: the smiles at some of the questions, and the emotion

200
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: that that goes into what they're saying is supposed to.

201
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: Just reading the transcript of the clips on Twitter from

202
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: the beat writers, they're posting those little quips. But he said, look,

203
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: I might throw it fifty times one game in fifteen

204
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 3: the next and I don't care as long as we win.

205
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: And I believe he means that sincerely. And I also

206
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: believe that could happen because I saw that happen, you know.

207
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: I saw that with Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman at Stanford,

208
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: and we've seen it in San Francisco. We haven't seen

209
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: it as much in Baltimore with John Harbaugh and Greg Roman.

210
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: And I think that's part and parcel because of the quarterback.

211
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: I think Lamar's legs are just so dangerous, and he

212
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: is so dynamic as a runner, and he's really a

213
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: better running quarterback than he is a throwing quarterback. So

214
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: play to the strengths. And he's good enough to make

215
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: sure he doesn't get hurt running the ball, So why

216
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: not lean on that. But I think that's I will

217
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: not be surprised one bit if that's how this plays out.

218
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: Is if there are games where Justin slinging it all

219
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: over the yard and there are games when he's you know,

220
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: handing off a whole lot. And that's what it's all about. Balance,

221
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: keeping the defense guessing, not being able for them to know,

222
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: not allowing them to get comfortable and going out in

223
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: winning games.

224
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: It was good to see Justin at the podium. He

225
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: looked kind of re energized and happy to be in

226
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: this new era of Charges football with with coach Harball

227
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: and they've been going for the last nine weeks. He

228
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: spoke for I have it here in twenty six minutes.

229
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: What was the what was the main takeaways from you that.

230
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: He spoke for twenty six minutes? Looking I kept looking good.

231
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: I kept looking at my left like are you gonna

232
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: get him? Like you're gonna all right?

233
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: He seemed. I guess he's fine. Let's keep going, let's

234
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: keep rolling. Yeah, he seemed fine.

235
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: He was because he has not spoke to us all

236
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: all pre you know, all ot as. This was the

237
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: only time and it was the very last day. So

238
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 3: there's more to get to because there's more that we've seen, right,

239
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: We've we've been able to take in a lot more.

240
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: We've heard from every coordinator, position, coach strength, coach Harbaugh

241
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: a few times, multiple players, rookies, like the golf tournament

242
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: where we got media availability, Like, we've heard so much

243
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: and we've seen so much that you know, I tipped

244
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: my cap to him that that he was able to

245
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 3: give us that amount of time and give us very thoughtful,

246
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: elongated answers. So my takeaways, Gosh, I don't even know

247
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: where to start. I think it's well, he just looks

248
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: so much more comfortable. He looks so much more comfortable. Chris, Yes,

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: he really does. He normally in his previous media sessions,

250
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: he's always been very polite and kind and good with

251
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: his answers. But there's this sense you get that he

252
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: just wants to get out of there, just like, Hey, man,

253
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: I like playing football. I want to play football. I

254
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: want to hang out with my guys. The media part

255
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: of this isn't necessarily something I enjoy and it felt

256
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 3: like he enjoyed it. He enjoyed talking about his teammates.

257
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 3: He enjoyed talking about Shane Day being back. He enjoyed

258
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: talking about the collaboration of the coaches and this collaborative effort.

259
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: In building this offense.

260
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 3: And he especially, it appeared, enjoyed talking a lot about

261
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh. He really enjoyed that.

262
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he he was talking about Zach Bryan concerts.

263
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah.

264
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: We had to go all the way back to Keenan

265
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: and Mike because we have not heard from Justin since

266
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Keenan was traded and Mike was released, So you know,

267
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: he talked about, you know, two of the best to

268
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: do it not with the team anymore. But what I

269
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: thought was was actually refreshing too, was the fact that

270
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: the wide receivers are new, the tight ends are new,

271
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: and he would say, normally you would think that this

272
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: is a big adjustment, but you know, we do. You

273
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: have guys like Hayden Hurst and Disley, who I know

274
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned, and it sounds like McConkey. He's got a

275
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: long way to go to be Keenan Allen, but he

276
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: could fill kind of that Keenan Allen role. Justin called

277
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: him a four or five year vet. I thought, Listen,

278
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: he complimented all of his teammates, but the fact that

279
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: he said, I want to try to get quitting the

280
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: ball as much as possible this year, I thought that

281
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: was something. And I think that their relationship is blossomed

282
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: in Quintin's second.

283
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: Year when the pads, when the pads come on, that's

284
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: all going to sort itself out. You know that that

285
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: will all sort itself out. And I do think the

286
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 3: wide receiver, we've talked about it repeatedly that that room

287
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: is going to be an interesting one of how they

288
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: decide it shakes out, and because there is some depth

289
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: there now and there are some decisions to be made

290
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: there now, Quentin's not going anywhere. Quinn's going to be

291
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: part of that room. Lad McConkie's obviously going to be

292
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: part of that room. Josh Palmer's obviously going to be

293
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: part of that room. And I think after that, DJ

294
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: Shark's going to have to prove that he's going to

295
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: stick around. And you know, the way the deal was structured,

296
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: I'd be very surprised if he didn't. I think he

297
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: feels a need that they that they desperately you know

298
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: that he feels something that they desperately need, a veteran

299
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: that can play acts and get up. We've talked about it, press,

300
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: the four to three speed, all of that, and then

301
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: I think after that, you know, we try to figure

302
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: it out, how is this thing going to get put together?

303
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: So McConkie hearing the way Coach Harbaugh talked about him,

304
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: the way Greg Roman talked about him, and then the

305
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: fact that Justin described him as a four or five

306
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: year vet and the way that he understands and how

307
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: he's already digested the playbook, and what he's doing out

308
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: there suggests there's going to be you know what, you

309
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: have trust in five year vets. You don't have trust

310
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: in rookies. You know, you want them to prove themselves.

311
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: If you view lad McConkie as a five year vet,

312
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: then that means you trust him because that's that's how

313
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: long Justin's been in the league. So yeah, that's it's

314
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: what we're talking about. Yeah, it's also important because we're

315
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: in the we're in a bit of the silly season

316
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: for the media with the NFL, it's the most popular

317
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: product in America, so they're always looking for angles and

318
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: new topics and how can we stay relevant when we're

319
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: not going to have any games for another three months.

320
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: So there's all these rankings that are coming out and

321
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: drafts and what if we redrafted the twenty twenty draft,

322
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: and what let's do our quarterback rankings, and you know,

323
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: Chris Sims just did that and he always does a

324
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: great job with the rankings. And I think Justin has

325
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: never made excuses, but please do not, and he doesn't

326
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: need any. I'm not trying to cape for him or

327
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: defend him, but it was brought up today. You're talking

328
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: about a guy came in with Shane Steichen broke every

329
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: rookie passing record. Guy's gone the very next year. The

330
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: person they replaced him with could not have run a

331
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: more different or had a different offensive philosophy. Shane was

332
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: bombs away, run when you have a chance, use your athletic.

333
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: Lombardi was get it out as soon as you see

334
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: that opening, let's go. It was Drew Brees. I mean

335
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: he tried to make Justin Herbert Drew Brees for two years,

336
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: and then after that you had Kellen Moore that just

337
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: never had a chance. It just never had never worked.

338
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: So when you're going through your quarterbacks and then you're

339
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 3: ranking them, yeah, Patrick Mahomes is incredible. He is incredible.

340
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: He very well could end up being the greatest quarterback

341
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: in the history of the NFL. He has been with

342
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 3: arguably the greatest offensive play caller since Bill Walsh in

343
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: the history of the league. His entire career. He sat

344
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: for a year to learn the offense, and he has

345
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 3: now been in the offense for six years. It's completely

346
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: it's apples and oranges.

347
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: It just is. That's the reality.

348
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow has been with Zach Taylor his entire career,

349
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: the same offense his entire career. So it's just something

350
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 3: to keep in mind that he's been able to overcome

351
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: all of this and still be, you know, statistically one

352
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 3: of the five best quarterbacks in the league even with

353
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: all of that, with all of that adversity and all

354
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: of that change, and all of the injuries to Mike

355
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 3: Williams and Keenan and losing Hunter Henry and having a

356
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 3: new number one tight end.

357
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: We brought that up today.

358
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: Every single year it's I can't who was after Hunter Henry,

359
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 3: the longtime saint Jared Cook, Jared Cook, from Hunter Henry

360
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: to Jared Cook to Jared to Donald Parham to Jerald Ever, Like,

361
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 3: this guy has not had a chance to find that continuity.

362
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: And I'm hoping and he was asked that, you know,

363
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: I assume you're hoping.

364
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: That this is the last one.

365
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: He's like, look, it'd be nice, Sure would be nice

366
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: if Greg Roman was the last one for a while.

367
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

368
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: Greg Robin when he was biked up raving about justin

369
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: how quickly he's picked things up and just the photographic

370
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: memory and you know, the the I think the word

371
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: of the offseason has been details. But what's been cool

372
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: with the last couple of days is just the coats

373
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: of paint, right the four coats of paint that have

374
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: been put on the offense and installing it and getting

375
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: more familiar with it each time there's been an install

376
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: and Justin Justin En I think Coach Roman both said

377
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: essentially like we feel really good about the offense where

378
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: it's at right now, and the fact that they are

379
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: doing football right now. Not all thirty two camps are

380
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: doing football right now. Money Khalil brought up the jersey

381
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: thing yesterday, which I thought was a really great point

382
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: and something that that I think really can get fans

383
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: thinking too, like those jerseys feel different. They're they're a

384
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: little bit tighter, like you got to kiss you tighter,

385
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: you know. And the fact that he's wearing that you're

386
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: wearing him during OTAs in mini camp. It's it's the

387
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: littlest things. Joey Bosta talked about the little thing about

388
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: the locker, cleaning out your locker, how you do anythings,

389
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: how you do everything, So those are these little things

390
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: you pick up throughout this offseason. Again, I think Charger

391
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: fans they don't want to be fooled and and be like, Okay,

392
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: you know what, We've seen this movie before, but it's

393
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: just different. It feels different with a guy like Jim

394
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Harball and you could tell that he has a play,

395
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: He is a plan for Justin Herbert. One of the

396
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: things that he talked about too, was just like the

397
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: leaders of the team. It seems like he's been just

398
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: singling out for the most part, Justin and Darwin, and

399
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: he'll praise other guys, but like follow Justin on offense

400
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: everything Darwin does. Do that like he's kind of like

401
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: kind of paring down what this is all about. Like,

402
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm the head coach. This is the guy who wears

403
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: the gold jersey. The backup quarterbacks don't wear the gold jersey.

404
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: It's rule and do everything Darwin does. And I think

405
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool.

406
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that those guys, they they show themselves

407
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: through this process. And he got into that and it

408
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 3: was funny. He said, you know, I had He said,

409
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: I had someone come up to me and say, hey, coach.

410
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: He SAI, all right, if I wear a hooded sweashirt

411
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: under my jersey, and I said, just Darwin wear a

412
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: hooded sweatshirt under his jersey. Yes, that was the end

413
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: of that conversation, but he made the point of this

414
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 3: isn't that, this is do as I do.

415
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: He said, that's how you find leaders. It's do as

416
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: I do.

417
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: And I want you to do what Derwin does and

418
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: I want you to do what Justin Herbert does. And

419
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: that's that's who you're that's who you'll follow. And then

420
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 3: he went on the list. You know how important all

421
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: these He just can't help himself. He loves being around

422
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: these guys. He's talking about Scott Mattlocke as as a leader,

423
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 3: a second year guy that could barely get into the

424
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: rotation last year. But talked about a moment on the

425
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: field after it was wet and Matt Locke was out

426
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: there patting it dry because that's he felt himself slip

427
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: and he wanted to try to get it dry for

428
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: the other guys to go through their drill. And that's

429
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 3: the sign of a lead. Like things that he recognizes

430
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 3: that he'll pick up on. That that's he's always watching.

431
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: He's and he says he ends. He mentioned that he

432
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 3: ends practice early some days and he wants to watch. Okay,

433
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: practices ended ten minutes early, what's what's everybody doing? And

434
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: sure enough, they're still doing drill. And I saw today

435
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: today was what's called an opportunity practice.

436
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: So ones don't have to go.

437
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: It's the back end of the roster are going through

438
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: drill or going through the seven on sevens and the

439
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: eleven on eleven's and that's and so Justin was just

440
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: kind of hanging out with the receivers and it was

441
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: fun to watch him talk to them about their routes

442
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: and desanjre Lal and kind of get through what he

443
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: was seeing. And Shane Day was there and it was

444
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 3: fun to watch that communication that here's your quarterback coach,

445
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 3: here's your wide receiver coach, here's your quarterback. All these

446
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 3: receivers and they're just kind of doing a little bit

447
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: of walk through and then they'll go full speed and

448
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: then they'll have more of a conversation and there's this Okay,

449
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: let's get everybody involved and let's maximize it. So even

450
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 3: though none of them had to be out there, coach

451
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: gave them the option. You want to go in lift, lift,

452
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: what however you want to approach today is up to you.

453
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: It's an opportunity practice. And every last one of them

454
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: took the opportunity, and sure enough he blows it early

455
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: and they're out there for maybe forty five minutes something

456
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: like that. So he blows the whistle early, huddles them up.

457
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: Herbert delivers the addressed to the team, the final one

458
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: before they come back for training camp, and as they're

459
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: walking off, what am I watching? I'm watching Zion. It

460
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: drives me crazy that I don't have this darn book,

461
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: because they have.

462
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: There is this stop book. Man, I don't know I

463
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: got it.

464
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 3: I should actually stand up and go find it. Here

465
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: Phil for ten seconds, Chris, I think I know where go.

466
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: Go go, No, buddy, if you're listening to me, Jim

467
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: Harball when he said that, he said, okay, if I

468
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: in practice thirty minutes early, I want to see what

469
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: these guys do, and they're actually doing more than what

470
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: I would have asked them to do. They're doing more

471
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: than what I would have done during that thirty minute period.

472
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: Is kind of what you were alluding to with coach Harball.

473
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: That was just another nugget from him at today's presser.

474
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so here we go.

475
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: This is I'm glad that I was able to get

476
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: this because I want to make sure I get the

477
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: uh the name right.

478
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: So Willis Patrick. So they're done.

479
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: They blow it early, and Zion is, you know, working

480
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 3: on his movements and on his technique, and Willis Patrick

481
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 3: number sixty six comes over and Willis is a rookie

482
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: out of TCU, undrafted free agent out of TCU, and

483
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: he and Zion start talking and all these and they've

484
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 3: got food trucks lined up. They brought out all these

485
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: food trucks. It smells delicious. I'm beyond jealous. They've got

486
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 3: like a cye bulls and a taco truck and a

487
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 3: Burger truck for all the players, and I'm just like,

488
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: I want to pour my face into all of it.

489
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: And they're starting to pile out. Some of the guys

490
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: are going to get their lunch, and Willis and Zion

491
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: start having a conversation. And next thing you know, zion

492
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 3: Is is working on his technique on will and he's

493
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 3: and it's not.

494
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: Just like yeah, let me let me get a look. Yeah,

495
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: it's a no.

496
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's a five minute deal where he's showing

497
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: how he's too far open and how a swipe is

498
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: gonna beat him and then he's showing out where his

499
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 3: feet should be. And this is gone for five minutes.

500
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 3: And I think that's what Coach Harbaugh's talking about, is

501
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: these guys are in it for each other and they

502
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: go above and beyond. And then when you watch them

503
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: come off and all of their helmets are perfectly placed

504
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: where they're supposed to be, they're taking off their practice jerseys,

505
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 3: folding them up and putting them into the laundry basket.

506
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: And people may think that's dumb and that it's the

507
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: whole Tom Coughlin, if you're two minutes early, you're five

508
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: minutes late kind of thing. But guy won two Super Bowls, yea,

509
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: you know the guy that there is something too that

510
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: I firmly believe it. There is nothing that I and Outlook,

511
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: you can call me a cranky old man that yells

512
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 3: at clouds, but there is nothing I dislike more than

513
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 3: not picking up after yourself as a grown man. The

514
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: idea that you would just leave plates and cups and

515
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: trash behind, knowing that there's fifty three of you and

516
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 3: four of the workers to pick up. Yeah, pick up

517
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: after yourself. Have some respect, have some self respect and decency.

518
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: And I think That's what coach Harbaugh has explained, is that,

519
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: And that was what Derwin got into that these little details,

520
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: or that's what Joey got into yesterday, where you may

521
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: think it's nothing, but they think it's something. And if

522
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 3: picking up my socks and making sure my locker is

523
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 3: set a certain way means I am not going to

524
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: be one inch off size and get a flag thrown

525
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 3: and ruin a play, then let's go. Then so be it,

526
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: and let's go. And I am a firm believer the

527
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: old broken windows theory of times Square when Bratton was

528
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 3: trying to clean up New York City. I do think

529
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 3: there is something to that.

530
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: First of all, Willis Patrick, I mean Patrick, Willis Patrick, Harball,

531
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: this guy's got to make the team. He's got to

532
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: make practice quite at least.

533
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: Right right, exactly exactly.

534
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: It was a cool moment, though Joey was like, it

535
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: was like stand up comedy hour Man.

536
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 2: Yes, it was.

537
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: It was hilarious. Somebody somebody asked him about Jesse Minzer

538
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: and he went on for like a few minutes about

539
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: on the defensive, his D line coach.

540
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, and then he couldn't recover.

541
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: He talks really fast, and I, you know, I'm just

542
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: like what what? And then he's like, hold on. I

543
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: was described as somebody else with somebody else.

544
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's the best. But you know that's I.

545
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 3: That was I thought a very telling moment and a

546
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: special moment. And that's what football. Football is sacrifice. Football

547
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: is unlike any other sport because there is a self

548
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: sacrifice aspect to it, where you give up yourself to

549
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: allow a teammate to succeed. It's an offensive lineman that

550
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: allows the pocket to hold up for the quarterback and

551
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: the wide receiver to connect on a touchdown pass and

552
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 3: steal all your glory. It's it's Joey Bosa getting double

553
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 3: team so on the opposite side of him, someone is

554
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: manned up and can beat their man and get the sack.

555
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 3: So to hear Joey and Khalil go back to back

556
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 3: and talk about their communication with each other. And this

557
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: goes back to something we talked about Chris with Keenan

558
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: Allen and I and I said, I make no bones

559
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 3: about it. Make all the money you can, take all

560
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: the money you can. I am never going to fault

561
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: you for that. But when we talked about it, we

562
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: brought up you can't have Khalil Mack coming off a

563
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: seventeen and a half sack season, take a pay cut

564
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: knowing that he is at the end of it and

565
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: every cent might be his last cent that he makes,

566
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: and then tell Keenan and yeah, we'll keep you around

567
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: for twenty one and a half. You just can't do it.

568
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: And Joey alluded to that when they said, you know,

569
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: how did you come to the decision to take the

570
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: pay cut. He's like, Khalil took the pay cut. It's

571
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: like that guy took the pay cut, and I want

572
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: to play with him again and I love playing with him.

573
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: So for me, it was an easy he said, it

574
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: was an easy decision that it took. It's like the

575
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: whole thing came together was it was easy. It's like

576
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: it was not a hard thing at all. And so

577
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: that speaks to that room that you have, that brotherhood,

578
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: that that sacrifice in that room, these two guys want

579
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: to see the others succeed more than themselves.

580
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: Joey's been through a lot too money, I mean the injuries.

581
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: He listed all the injuries that he's had over the

582
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and you know, being able to.

583
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: He said, I don't want to leave this place, and

584
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: you know it's the wrong time to leave because you

585
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: know things are on the up and up right with

586
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: coach Harball, and I just I feel good for Joey

587
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: and I hope he can stay healthy because if he's healthy,

588
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: we saw him a couple of years ago just how

589
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: dominant he was, and he and Khalil have never been

590
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: able to have a full season together. And I know

591
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: that that was one of the things Joey talked about

592
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: last year, was wanting to run it back with Khalil. Well,

593
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 1: this time they get to run it back together. But

594
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: there's also peace of mind in the room that you

595
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: have a guy like Touley in year two. And Joey said,

596
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: I guess the ultimate compliment is I haven't seen much

597
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: change him in it at all, because he was so

598
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: good his rookie year. And to bring in a grizzled

599
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: vet like bud Dupree, you know you have four guys

600
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: in that room where they can take that breath and

601
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: not miss a beat later in the third or fourth

602
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: quarter for a play because bud Dupree's in the room

603
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: or Tuley's in the room, were Morgan Foxes in the room.

604
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: So that's definitely the strength of the defense. And you know,

605
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: one of the other things that Khalil said that I

606
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: thought was really funny was talking about Ben Herbert and

607
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: you know how he thinks Ben. It's great. He goes

608
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: but like, I'm not scared of you. Yeah, that's pretty good.

609
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny.

610
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: Was it Joey or Khalil that? And it's what we were

611
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: all thinking. And so Khalil talked about taking the pay

612
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 3: cut and he mentioned that for those of you that

613
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 3: didn't see it, you should. It's it's a quick twenty minutes.

614
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 3: It goes by so fast.

615
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: All of them are great this week.

616
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: They really are. They're really good pressers. Highly recommend going

617
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 3: to Chargers dot com and listening to him. But he

618
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: said had the conversation with coach Harbad and said, I

619
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: want to come I want to win. I'll come back

620
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: because I like these guys. I think we can win.

621
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: I believe in this team. I believe in this group.

622
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: And he talked about the conversation that they had. I

623
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: think it was Khalil who said it. But the bud

624
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: Dupree signing, we haven't seen a signing like that, Chris's

625
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: that's not the guy that gets signed in the second

626
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 3: wave of free agency in the last six seven years,

627
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: So this is different. And I think that was It

628
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: sounded like that was an AHA moment to both those guys.

629
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: They were like, we signed bud Duprie. Yeah. Yeah.

630
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: I think it was Joey who said it because he

631
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: played with Nick up and writer. I can't remember, no, he.

632
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: I think Joey did mention it, though he basically something

633
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: about Nick and then he mentioned bud Dupree.

634
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: I think yes, it was like that, Wait a minute,

635
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: we signed bud Dupree, Like that's That's sort of what

636
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: Khalil was talking about when he mentioned Coach said, we

637
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 3: have this, this, and this, and I feel good about that.

638
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: But if we can get this, this and this, or

639
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: if this player can make this jump and now we

640
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 3: have this, then yes, I believe we can win. And

641
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: so it shows how honest Harbaugh is. We're not there yet,

642
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: but I believe in what we're doing in the direction

643
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: we're going in, and some things are going to have

644
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: to work out and break the right way, but I

645
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 3: believe they can and if they do, we got a

646
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: good shot at it so the fact you got four

647
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: guys and you hopefully have an opportunity, and Jesse Minner

648
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: mentioned that to rotate these guys and keep them fresh,

649
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: and that was, you know, another thing that we discussed.

650
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: It used to drive me that crap crazy. Is in

651
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: those games where they're blowouts either way, these guys are

652
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: still out there and it's like, come on, man, get

653
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 3: them some rest. Get these guys some rest and work.

654
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, Chris, one of my takeaways

655
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 3: is we're sort of talking a lot about the presser

656
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: because there's not a whole lot going on the field.

657
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: There's some and we'll get into it.

658
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we can maybe even start getting into it

659
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: here because the people can go listen to the pressers.

660
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: They can't let me just quickly go through. No I'm

661
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: getting I'm all over the place. So now I can't

662
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: remember where I was the on the field. Where was

663
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 3: I was talking Khalil Dupre and oh just watching dayon

664
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: Henley out there. It's like team won five games. How

665
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 3: is this guy not playing the last six games of

666
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: the season.

667
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: How is he not?

668
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: How is it that Eric Kendricks, who you know has

669
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: no future on this team? Is why is and Kenneth

670
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: Murray you didn't pick up his fifty year option. You

671
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: know he has no future on this team. That the

672
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 3: writing is on the wall for both of these. You've

673
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: got a first year player that's gotten zero reps and

674
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: watching him on that practice field, it's like, Okay, that's

675
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: what a linebacker looks like in twenty twenty four. That

676
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: looks like someone thirty one other teams in the league

677
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: would love to get their mits on right now. The

678
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 3: way he moves, the way he tracks, the way he

679
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 3: tracks down, he covers, he fills gaps, and it's just

680
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: it's frustrating to know that it was sitting right there.

681
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 2: And the guys in front.

682
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: Of him were not playing, did not play well, and

683
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: that it could have been him and Drew trankwill last

684
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: year playing linebacker. That that that's what it should have.

685
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: Been, Buddy. Before we transition back to the field, because

686
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: these I want to talk more about Henley and everything

687
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: that you saw in the field. The last thing about

688
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: Khalil Presser, they asked him Assistory, like, why would you

689
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: come back? Why do you think this team's close? He

690
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: won five games last year. He's like when you played

691
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: the game. It's different. You know how close we were,

692
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: like the two minute drills at the end of games,

693
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: the losses that the inexplicable losses. Frankly knowing that you

694
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback, knowing that the coach has won

695
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: at every level, like he has confidence in the guys

696
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: that are on the defense that he's played with, but

697
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: he also realizes that like they really weren't a five

698
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: win team talent wise, especially the guys who have come back.

699
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: And then couple that with with who's been added to

700
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: this roster. And then finally he revealed his nickname Smoke

701
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: Show because of the drills on on the field where

702
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: he's literally smoking everybody on the offensive line.

703
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 2: I thought that was cool. Yeah to me, that look,

704
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: we saw it.

705
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: We said it all the time as team managed to

706
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: snatch defeat from the hands of victory more than anybody else,

707
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: and so much of it was just dumb busted coverages

708
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: and let downs and not recognizing, Hey, Vic, you have

709
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 3: eaten Vic Fangio up this whole game. You don't think

710
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 3: he's going to be bringing a blitz not here at

711
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: the end of this adult Like, you don't think he's

712
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: gonna sell out and run zero, even though he never does,

713
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 3: of course he is. DJ said it before the first

714
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: snap on first down in that Dolphins game. There were

715
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: just so many of those Wait a minute, you're up

716
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 3: for and you got Jah Taylor outside the numbers, one

717
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: on one with no safety help on Tyreek Hill.

718
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: That's what we're doing there.

719
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 3: And I think that's what Khalil's speaking to is there

720
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: are so many this team gave up explosives, which is

721
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: exactly what the defense was supposed to prevent.

722
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: Right.

723
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: It's like, Hey, the one thing we don't do is

724
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 3: give up explosives. We're gonna put this umbrella in a

725
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: shell and you can't get outside of it. You're gonna

726
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 3: have the methodically work your way down the field, which

727
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 3: is exactly what it didn't do. And then you had

728
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: Joey echo that sentiment by saying, because he was asked

729
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 3: about what Khalil said about wanting to win and come

730
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 3: back and feel like this team could do it, he

731
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: was asked that same question, Hey, Khalil said this, Joey,

732
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 3: what do you And Joey's answer was, yeah, I agree

733
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, And I feel like coaching is that

734
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: last piece that we now have and so it's it's

735
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 3: not a direct shot and and you should never do

736
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 3: that on the way out. You know, those guys are

737
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 3: trying their hardest. They did their best, just didn't work

738
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 3: and there were some frustrations involved, but it's clear they

739
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: feel much different about this staff. I'll do this real quick,

740
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: Chris before just because of some of the things I

741
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 3: want to make sure I share with the people in

742
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 3: case they don't want to go through the twenty minute pressers.

743
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 3: I thought this was really cool and this is something

744
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: you can apply to your life. If football coaches have

745
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 3: a million of these, but Harball has more than most people.

746
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 3: He was asked about what guy should do on the

747
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 3: six weeks off and he said three things. Family, self, team,

748
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: and it was a great illustration. If you're mad enough

749
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 3: to take care of your family, and then you're responsible

750
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: enough to take care of your body, you're going to

751
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 3: take care.

752
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 2: Of the team.

753
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: That's so if we can get you to know I

754
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: want you to do this in your your lives away

755
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 3: from the football field, I know you're going to be good.

756
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: And that goes back to the details thing. Right, If

757
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: I can get you on this path of everything you

758
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 3: do in your life. Then I got no worries about

759
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: how it's going to work kind of the football field,

760
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: because you're you're set, you're on the right you're on

761
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: the right path. He said it took him one and

762
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: a half days to realize Dirwin was Derwin. He said,

763
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 3: I was one practice and one half of practice in

764
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: to just say yes, more, please, more of that. That's

765
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 3: the guy. That's what we're doing.

766
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: He yeah, that.

767
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 3: We already talked about the leadership, and then he singled

768
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 3: out Matt Lock when he talked about leaders and he

769
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 3: mentioned again his ted there every day. He said, hey,

770
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 3: Matt Locke is a their everyday guy. He said, that's

771
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 3: you want to know where Scott Macclock's going to be

772
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 3: exactly where you expect him because he's there every day.

773
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 3: And so that's because that's another guy. Scott Matlock was

774
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 3: healthy all last year. You go back and watch Scott

775
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: matt loock Boise tape. That dude was a terror. And

776
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 3: you had attrition along the defensive line on the interior

777
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 3: defense lot you cut Sebastian Joseph day and this guy

778
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: can't get out there for reps when you're a five

779
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: win team. So we just can't get some game reps going.

780
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 3: It's just so I'm excited that some of these players

781
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: that we were excited about Chris watching them in preseason

782
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 3: and watching them in training camp, but they are getting

783
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: opportunities and that this coaching staff is like, hey man,

784
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 3: these are good players. We're excited about Scott Matlock. We're

785
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: excited about Dyone Henley. I love I love hearing that.

786
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

787
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: I think it just goes to show how how tough

788
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: it was last year, Like the wheels were off early

789
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: and it didn't seem like guys were enjoying the journey

790
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: last year. And I think it's going to be different

791
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: this year. Another name that was brought up multiple times

792
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: by coach Harball, and I think Coach Roman too, is

793
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Trey Pipkins as a car. Yeah, and I'm excited to

794
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 1: see what that looks like at the end of July.

795
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: I think that's for me, that's a confidence thing and

796
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 3: it's a thank you thing. Why they keep bringing them up. Hey, thanks,

797
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: you know, thank you for trying this. We appreciate it.

798
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 3: Be upset. You play tackle your whole life. Now we're

799
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 3: trying to kick you inside the guard. You could be

800
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: It's a I think there's one sacrifice again sacrifice, thank

801
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: you for making it. Two we really do think you

802
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 3: can do it. And three we need you to be

803
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 3: able to do it. We need this to work. You're

804
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 3: You're the guy from what we've seen so far, You're

805
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 3: the guy that we really need to really get this

806
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 3: thing rolling. So let's let's give you all the confidence

807
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: in the world that that you can make it work.

808
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

809
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 3: The other guy that got mentioned, and I saw it

810
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 3: today because he had a beautiful pass break up again today,

811
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 3: but yesterday was his day. Tarhid still put on a

812
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: show yesterday, intercepted Herbert once and should have had two.

813
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 3: Damn near had two. And we talked about him. When

814
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 3: we say, hey, let's go through some of the guys

815
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 3: in the draft that that you're excited about, Tarib flashes. Man,

816
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 3: he flashes, I am I Am not going to be

817
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: surprised when he's this. He's the starting nickel. I he

818
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 3: just you can see it. There's you can see that

819
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 3: he sees it. The way he moves, he knows where

820
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 3: the guy's going before the guy goes there. He's got this,

821
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 3: He's got that innate sense. And he got name checked

822
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: by Derwin today, he got excited. He's like, oh, young

823
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 3: guy's tar he like, he got excited when he talked

824
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: about tar Heeb Still. That dude's going to be a baller.

825
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 3: He's going to play. That's that's and that's one of

826
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 3: the bright spots of all the rookies. You know, because

827
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: there's no pads, it's hard to get a feel for

828
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 3: alt outside of just how he looks standing there.

829
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: Right.

830
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: Lad McConkie's been exceptional running routes. Junior unfortunately has been

831
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 3: banged up so has not been out there a boy

832
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 3: bee has not really had an opportunity to do a

833
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 3: whole lot, and he's already been described as a project.

834
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: But of those two fifth rounders, tar Heeb still is

835
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 3: really flashing, really flashing. And then in terms of those

836
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 3: seventh round receivers that it's going to be very hard

837
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 3: for them. It's gonna be very it'll be very hard

838
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 3: for them to crack and and get into this thing.

839
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: And and look, I think when you're draft, when when

840
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 3: you're drafted in the seventh round, those guys can probably

841
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 3: sneak through to the practice squad.

842
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: I would.

843
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: I can't imagine a team unless they really flash in

844
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 3: training camp in the preseason. Then we do this every

845
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 3: year for wide receivers, right, you gotta.

846
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: Put Michael Bandy on the roster. He's gonna get swept up.

847
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 2: It's a it's a wide receiver league. And think about

848
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 2: how much that guy lit up the preseason. No, he's

849
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: gonna he's gonna make it through. He's gonna make it practically.

850
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 3: There's a reason why Brennan Rice was there in the

851
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 3: seventh round and Cornelius Johnson was there in the seventh round,

852
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 3: and they'll probably make it through to the practice squad.

853
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: So that's that's what I would would say, is you

854
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 3: know kind of how I I walk away from that

855
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 3: the guy. But the other thing I want to mention

856
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: from Derwin that was was really interesting. Two things. One

857
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: Popper brought up a great question about you know, we

858
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 3: heard last year this we're gonna use some move them

859
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 3: all over the place and became overwhelming and they did

860
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 3: too much of it, and and it took away from

861
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 3: what Derwin's great at and just was a negative. But

862
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 3: yesterday Jesse Minner's like, he's so good up high, he's

863
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 3: so great coming off the edge, he can play in

864
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: the slot, He's a great butte and it's like, oh no,

865
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 3: here we go again. So it's great to have him today.

866
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 3: Clarify he said, it's he goes. It's different. It's like

867
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 3: it's he goes. Trust me, it's different, he said. And

868
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: what my interpretation was. And I even I asked the

869
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: follow up to Popper's questions. I wanted to because it's

870
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 3: the way that I interpreted he said it. I said,

871
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 3: is it more that you're going to be moved around

872
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: but not in the game. It's going to be specific

873
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: to the opponent, Like, depending on what the opponent is

874
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: is how they're going to.

875
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: Use you that week. And he said, that's exactly it.

876
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: So like I thought about Week one, Chris, and I'm like,

877
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: he is Week one, Derwin. Just go welcome brock Bauers

878
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 3: to the league. Go just go over there. And once

879
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: you welcome him to the league, let let let him

880
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: know what the NFL. And he's puffing his chest out

881
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 3: about how the SEC is, you know, best college football league,

882
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 3: and you know, it feels like he's got a lot

883
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 3: of what the NFL could be based on playing in

884
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 3: the SEC.

885
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 2: Go ahead on over there and just shadow him for

886
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: a little while.

887
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: Assignment.

888
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead and let him know what the NFL is.

889
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 3: And I think that could have lasting effects. Right now,

890
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 3: you've planted the seeds of doubt. You've humiliated, you know.

891
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 3: And do I think that'll happen.

892
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: I don't know.

893
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 3: Brock Bowers might eat him up. He might be that guy.

894
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 3: He might be that good and the best tight end

895
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 3: prospect we've seen in ten years. That could be the case.

896
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: I hope not, but I'd like to see.

897
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: It, you know.

898
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: That's that's kind of what so. I was happy to

899
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 3: hear that. That's sort of the way he described it too.

900
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, yeah, that's so. It's going to be

901
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 3: individual week, is how So shadow Kelsey against the Chiefs.

902
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 3: We're going to play up high against this team that

903
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 3: likes to throw it deep, and we want you as

904
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: our last, you know, line of defense. So that's I

905
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 3: think more encouraging about Derwin.

906
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

907
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: Well, especially too with with the interior of the defensive line.

908
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen Joey move around.

909
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: You know.

910
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: I remember a couple of years ago when when Derwin

911
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 1: and Khalil were lined up on the same side.

912
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 2: We went against the Raiders at home, right.

913
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: And that's another way to deploy him is as an

914
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,479
Speaker 1: edge rusher. I know that that's their strength in that room,

915
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: but I mean that's another way where Durwin can shine.

916
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: And I just like seeing Derwin. I'd like see all

917
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: these guys. They're happy like they are. They are really

918
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: big times, really energized man. And it's it's just a

919
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: complete one eighty from what we saw doors towards the

920
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: middle of last year when everybody kind of knew what

921
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: it was going to be. You were out there today

922
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: and you said you mentioned tarhef Still coach mentioned ALOHI too.

923
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: Like AlOH he seems like the perfect guy for coach

924
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: harball system. He's detail oriented, he knows where he's supposed

925
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: to be at all times. But the guys like Christian

926
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: Fulton or Henley, guys who we may see this year

927
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: on the field a little bit more. What were your takeaways?

928
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just add one more thing of what Derwin

929
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 3: said because you mentioned it right, So Coach Harbad name

930
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 3: check Aloe and Drwin is. I think they're the best

931
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 3: safety tannem in the league. That's what I expected them.

932
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 3: But Derwin was asked about Tony Jefferson, and you know,

933
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: coming from the Baltimore system and how he knows it

934
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 3: and having him around, and he said something very insightful,

935
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 3: and I don't think it was meant to be a dig,

936
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 3: but I think we're all asking kay is AJ Finley.

937
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: Or J T.

938
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 3: Wood's going to raise their hand? You got to have

939
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 3: that third safety. And Darwin said, I actually wrote it down, said,

940
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 3: I hope Tony Jefferson sticks around because that's what's going

941
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 3: to free me up to move all over the place.

942
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 3: So that's what's important to remember. For Darwin to be

943
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: able to do all of what they want him to do,

944
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 3: they need to make sure they have a third safety

945
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 3: they can play up high in a too high shell

946
00:46:55,120 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 3: with in quarters with Alohi, in order for Drwin to

947
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 3: be a linebacker, to play at linebacker, to play at edge,

948
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 3: to play the slot, to be the nickel, to shadow

949
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 3: a tight end. So that's the one thing I would

950
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 3: keep an eye on Chris over these six weeks is

951
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 3: that safety market, because it's just.

952
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: A Simms doing. Where's Justin Simmons at this point?

953
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe he's waiting for a number. Maybe he's waiting

954
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 3: for a team that wants to see whether or not

955
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 3: they can find that safety raise its hand that believes

956
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: they're a Super Bowl contender, and then he can hold

957
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: out for more money. That's possible that he just hasn't

958
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 3: had his number yet. But there are a number of

959
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 3: safeties that are available, and I do think there's just

960
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 3: hearing Derwin say that about Tony Jefferson, who did not

961
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 3: play football last year, like that leads me to believe

962
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 3: that that's that's the one position that this team's going

963
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 3: to attack in the next six weeks.

964
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: It goes back to your point about twenty minutes ago

965
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: when we talked about Bud Dupree, that that didn't happen

966
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot before, and Bud being available a few weeks ago.

967
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, who's to say that another veteran, maybe not

968
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: necessarily justin Simmons, but possibly during training camp gets added

969
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: to this roster. And those are the types of pieces

970
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: that weren't necessarily there when these guys were deciding whether

971
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: or not they're going to be Chargers.

972
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, I'm going to best available.

973
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 3: I'm going to the safeties right now, Chris, So we

974
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 3: still justin Oh, yeah, Eddie Jackson is still out there?

975
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 1: How old Eddie Jackson?

976
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: Right now he how old is he? He's old, Yeah,

977
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 3: he's I mean, these are these guys are older, you know.

978
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 3: Kean O'Neil is old, Sean Divi, Gison's old or old friend,

979
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 3: Adrian Phillips, Tracy Walker, Jamal Adams box safety. He's still

980
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 3: out there. So yeah, there's there there's a there's enough

981
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 3: players out there.

982
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: He's only thirty. Eddie Jackson, he may be old for

983
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: his safety, but he is only thirty. Yeah, you know, maybe.

984
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's Look, I do think one of those guys

985
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 3: is gonna I think they're gonna sign a safety and

986
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 3: there's still could be more guys that end up hitting

987
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 3: the market, and but but I think they're gonna want

988
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 3: to find one before training camp because they're You're gonna

989
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 3: want to have them know they need to get their

990
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 3: nose in the playbook between now and the start of

991
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 3: training camp. They they so that to me is something

992
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 3: it's not a post training camp thing. You're that that

993
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 3: this this defense is complicated, and you're gonna want their

994
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: nose in the playbook between now and the start of

995
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 3: training camp so they can do the best to master

996
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 3: it and then when training camp comes around, hopefully they're

997
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: as up to speed as possible and they can maybe

998
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 3: catch up after the first week. So that would be

999
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 3: the one thing. Just reading the tea leaves that I

1000
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 3: feel like they got to go out and uh and

1001
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 3: get I think we got everything on justin Uh what

1002
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 3: else did I have here?

1003
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 2: Coaching stuff?

1004
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he mentioned Mark Trustman's name twice, who we've talked

1005
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 3: about how impressive we think he is, and clearly he

1006
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 3: and Mark are hitting it off. That's not surprised, they're surprising.

1007
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 3: They're both super cerebral guys. And Mark's and you know,

1008
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 3: an offensive innovator in this league in the CFL and

1009
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 3: college football and his former quarterbacks coach. So those the

1010
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 3: fact that those two are gonna they're gonna hit it off.

1011
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: And somebody asked if some a fan asked if we

1012
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 1: could get Mark Trustman on the podcast.

1013
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: I'd love to get Mark Trustman on the podcast. So

1014
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 2: as long as coach is fine with it.

1015
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 3: I think he's it's a fun it's a fun and

1016
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 3: suit wat I don't even know if it's really fun.

1017
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 3: He's a very serious guy, but he's a thoughtful guy.

1018
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 3: And it's just those football lifers that have those circuitous

1019
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 3: paths on their resumes. Are always fun to talk to.

1020
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 3: Gus was a blast man talking to Gus Bradley and

1021
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: he was the DC loves. There are just certain guys

1022
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 3: that tell great football stories, and there's none better than Gus.

1023
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 3: I missed the heck out of them sitting in the

1024
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 3: meal room and just for hours listening to him tell stories.

1025
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 3: And Trustman's not the same style of guy as Gus,

1026
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 3: but he's he's got a million stories and he loves

1027
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 3: telling them and it's gonna be a lot of fun.

1028
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 3: So yeah, we gotta definitely gonna do that. But that's

1029
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 3: one thing that Justin brought up was how impressive this

1030
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,959
Speaker 3: coaching staff is. He mentioned Sanjay Law obviously, Shane Day.

1031
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 3: He mar mentioned Mark Tressman and all these guys and

1032
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 3: what an incredible staff they've put together. We talked about,

1033
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 3: you know, I don't think we talked about the tight ends.

1034
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 3: I think you scratched the surface on that.

1035
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, well you asked about Disley and uh in

1036
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: Hurst and I think Justin seems to be really locked

1037
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: in with those guys. He also referenced par Him and

1038
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: Stone Smart too. The fact that those guys are back,

1039
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: he's familiar with him, and it kind of forms a

1040
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: new look tight ends.

1041
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,479
Speaker 3: I was trying to pay Will Disley a compliment because

1042
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 3: of what coach Bischoff said that that you know, there's

1043
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 3: only three tight ends, maybe three tight ends in the

1044
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 3: league that can block the sea gap, and Will Disley

1045
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 3: is one of them, and he might be the best.

1046
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 3: And Herbert was very quick to point out, and I

1047
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 3: agree with him. He's like, he's not just a blocker.

1048
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 3: Will could catch the ball and and then he mentioned,

1049
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 3: by the way Hayden can just catch the ball, Hayden

1050
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 3: can block. I do believe they have two full service

1051
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 3: tight ends and that that room may see the biggest

1052
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 3: jump of any room on the team save linebacker, because

1053
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 3: I believe in the linebacker room and I believe that

1054
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 3: it was sorely lacking last year, but that the tight

1055
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 3: end room is going to make a big jump. Just

1056
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 3: Hayden Hurst put on a show in OTAs and in

1057
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 3: mini camp. He really flecks the muscle out there and

1058
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 3: showing yes, don't let's not forget guys. I've got a

1059
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 3: seven hundred yard seven touchdown season on my resume, and

1060
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 3: I fully believe with Justin Herbert, I can get right

1061
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 3: back to it money.

1062
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: How much were we screaming about the tight end and

1063
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: not having a blocking tight end the last couple of years.

1064
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: Trey McKitty was supposed to be that guy, didn't didn't

1065
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: work out. And you know, if you don't have the

1066
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: personnel to run the football it had the appropriate tight

1067
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: ends to run the football, you're not going to be

1068
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: able to run the football right away. Getting Disley and

1069
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: getting Hurst, that was like one of the first checkpoints

1070
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: on the list is make sure that the tight end

1071
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: room has guys who can catch the ball but also

1072
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: can can block for a punishing running game.

1073
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and credit to our friend Daniel Popper. I remember

1074
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: reading this column Weekend, every every every column, this team

1075
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 3: needs a blocking tight end and it's not sexy, but

1076
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 3: sure enough, it crushed him. It absolutely crushed them. Last

1077
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 3: year they could not get anything going in the run

1078
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 3: game because they did not have a tight end that

1079
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 3: could block. And now you got one that can really block.

1080
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 3: And I think you're going to see some six offensive

1081
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 3: lineman sets and some six offensive linemen and two tight

1082
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 3: end sets. You're going to see a lot of physicality

1083
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 3: out there. And JK was going through drills today that

1084
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 3: is Oh, that's the we can't all be you know,

1085
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 3: we can't fart rainbows and gold dust all the time.

1086
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 3: It does sound like Gus Edwards has has an injury

1087
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: that's dogging him. That's a little more serious than than

1088
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 3: we had come to understand. So hardball got a little

1089
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 3: little tight when he was talking about it, and he

1090
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I think I think he'll be ready

1091
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 3: by training camp. So that's that's a bit of a

1092
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 3: concern that and that's why you didn't see him out

1093
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 3: there at OTAs, I'm guessing because he's dealing with something

1094
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 3: that they're trying to figure out.

1095
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: Well, let's end on this, because I know the pod

1096
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: that you do with Low Deal. People are giving you

1097
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: grief about Kamadie Vidal's name.

1098
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 2: What is it? It's Videl, it's Videll, it's Dell, it

1099
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: is it is using myself.

1100
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: Now because it's ever heard of so many different plays,

1101
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: so not by you, by just different people.

1102
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 3: I will do you the favor because I had Look,

1103
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 3: I mean, this is my job. I mean I'm the

1104
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 3: play by play guy, so I have to do it.

1105
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 3: But I did it to the point where I was like, okay,

1106
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 3: is this is this someone who's a big Troy Trojan fan,

1107
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 3: and Ed's I saw your promo with Ed. Ed just

1108
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 3: won't let it go with Ed, so I tried to

1109
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 3: explain him. I said, listen, this is what happens when

1110
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 3: you call a game. You get handed game notes and

1111
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 3: they phonetically tell you somebody whose name you may not

1112
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 3: understand how you're supposed to pronounce it.

1113
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 2: So here we go.

1114
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 3: Let's take the camera off here, Chris real quick.

1115
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: This is great.

1116
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 2: Oh it's gonna be backwards though, but no, it's good.

1117
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 2: Is it good? See it right there? All right?

1126
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 3: I'm waiting for this thing to end so I could

1127
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 3: pop it open. It's been a long day.

1128
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: You should have popped it open at the thirty minute mark.

1129
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 2: Dude, yeah, I probably could have. Hey, it should have.

1130
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: So what you what you're saying is, you know, if

1131
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: if Gus is not quite ready and JK maybe not

1132
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: quite ready, come Ody Videll get ready.

1133
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 3: You know, Isaiah Spiller isah ljoh Dotson has swollen by

1134
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 3: the way.

1135
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 2: He was putting on a show.

1136
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 3: Friend Ben from NFL, the great NFL photographer Ben Lebenberg,

1137
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: was out there because they had a bunch of new

1138
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 3: lenses and they were using practice to work on these

1139
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 3: lenses they're going to start using for games. And Elijah

1140
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 3: was getting his Lee Haney on man his flex wheeler,

1141
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 3: and he was like, all I thought he might have

1142
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 3: gone inside to the locker room and got a bunch

1143
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 3: of baby oil. He was all out there flex and

1144
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 3: for him, and I was like, dude, Elijah is freaking stacked,

1145
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 3: So you know that could be. And I think that's

1146
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 3: the other thing is like, it's so hard. Remember how

1147
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 3: good he looked Chris in the preseason last year and

1148
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 3: in training camp last year, and this offensive line was

1149
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 3: just beat up. It couldn't run blocked. So I don't

1150
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 3: think we haven't really got an honest assessment of what

1151
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 3: he might be able to do behind a solid offensive line.

1152
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 3: Because that dude has some explosiveness to him too. That's

1153
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 3: gonna be a fun competition that running back room as well.

1154
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: God, I can't wait for trade Kim. We six, we'll

1155
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: find content. I know it's gonna get a little slow,

1156
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: but uh, we'll find Guess we'll just drag or we'll

1157
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: just do pods with with h glasses of bread and

1158
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: maybe a beer or two.

1159
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: No, that's exactly, or a beer three. That's what you say, exactly,

1160
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,640
