00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: All right, this is Derwin James and you listen to

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the Charges Podcast Network. All right, guys, welcome into a

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: post Super Bowl edition of Chargers Weekly, the twenty nineteen

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: season officially in the books Kansas City Chiefs of the

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: World Champs. I'm joined by Eric Williams of ESPN, and Eric,

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: I know you were down in Miami, man, how was it?

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Vibe was awesome. Yeah, there are people all over the

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: place and it's cool kind of to be in a

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: place like South Beach in the Super Bowl because you

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: get that kind of the bigness of the game. I

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: was walking with our boy Fernando, who covers the team

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: as well, and we saw Floyd Mayweather ride Bias on

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: a bike and everybody's like, hey, it's Floyd ben Weather.

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl week. Yeah, you know, you just start seeing

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: those people and you know, we saw Beckham, so you

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: just kind of see those those bigger than larger than

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: life people and players and it kind of lets you

18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: know the bigness of the game. Yeah, two years is

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: going to be here, so that that snapshot you saw

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Miami gonna be puting Los Angeles. Looking forward to that.

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an awesome event. Yeah, the

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: game awesome too, thirty one twenty Chiefs. I was just

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: thinking watching that game, all right, this is the team

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers, they're gonna have to figure out. Yeah, you know,

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: this team isn't going away. They're in the division. Everybody's

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: looking at the Chiefs next year, but the Chargers even

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: more so being that you got to see him twice,

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: no doubt. And the interesting thing was to me was

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: watching San Francisco's defense and their scheme because they run

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: a similar scheme to the Chargers, and how they defended Mahomes.

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: They did a great job for yeah, ten points with

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: maybe seven minutes left, and they did a lot of

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: the same things that the Chargers have done in the

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: past against the Chiefs, you know, make them throw the

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: ball short and then rally to the football and really

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: kind of eliminate those explosive plays and don't give them

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: anything deep, you know, to see if they could run

38
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit and really try to force

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes to make plays from within the pocket, and for

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: a majority of the game that they were very successful

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: in doing that. The problem is Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes,

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: and I kind of he's unscripted is very difficult to defend.

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: He's Russell Wilson on steroids. And I say that because

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: he's a bigger, more athletic version of Russell. So when

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: he gets out in the pocket, he has such a

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: big arm, the whole field is available to him. He's

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: really strong as a runners, he's really tough to get

48
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: to bring down, and he's very accurate. So yeah, those

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: offscript plays again, as a defense, you really can't prepare

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: for those, And it just seems like more times than not,

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: he was able to make a play when they needed

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: him to make a play, and the Chiefs didn't lose.

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I think they started their win streak in Mexico City,

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: is that right? I guess the Chargers and I don't

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: think they lost another game after that night all mynded

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: night football. I just look at the personnel, and I

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: really do. I think the Chargers have a lot of

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: pieces that match up nicely with the Chiefs. But you

59
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: have to think about not only the Chiefs, but the Broncos,

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders. How do you further build your roster to

61
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: win these division games? Because surprisingly, the Chargers didn't win

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: a game in the AFC West List. Yeah, I think

63
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: the first thing is speed. I think you have to

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: get faster on offense and defense. Obviously, on offense you

65
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: need to be able to stretch the field and create

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: explosive plays so it's easier to score. And then you

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: have to be able to have a diversity of plays

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: you could run in the red zone, because that's kind

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: of where they really struggled as to get in the

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: ends on a regular basis. So that's that's I'll say

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: that's one A. One B is the quarterback situation. You

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: have to figure that out long term, you know, whether

73
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: it's through free agency or the draft. And even if

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: you do bring Philip Rivers back, you're gonna want to

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: have a young person behind him that you know is

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: going to be the future because that person is going

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: to have to play against Patrick Mahomes twice a year

78
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: and figure out how to beat that team because that's

79
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: obviously the team to beat ANSC for the next decade.

80
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to have a quarterback that has

81
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: the ability to I don't want to say match play

82
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: for play, but gives you an opportunity so that your

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: your team can put points on the board because you're

84
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna not to score. I mean we've seen that, right. Yes,

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: they scored thirty one, but all those points came at

86
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: the end of the game. So at some point you're

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: gonna have to you're not the match. Mahoe struggled for

88
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: a majority of the game too, but he had to

89
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: go win it. Yeah, right, And when you have those

90
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: pieces you mentioned the speed the Tyreek Hills of the world,

91
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: I think the I don't want to say he's a

92
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey stopper, but I think Darwin James is a

93
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: nice matchup for a guy like Kelsey. But um, it's

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: about defending that Chief's offense and then also, like you said,

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: getting more speed on offense kind of matching them because

96
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go with toe for toe with

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: these guys, not only you know, head to head, but

98
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: also maybe racing for that AFC Wes crown. And not

99
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: only on offense and defense, but special teams. I thought

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: the Chief special teams really played at a high level.

101
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: It just you know, special teams coach too. Yeah. Great.

102
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: Dave Taub obviously he's been in the running for head

103
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: coaching jobs, you know, in the past, but they made

104
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco March the length of the field really kind

105
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: of bottled them up in the return game, and again

106
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: that that speed kind of comes to play and special

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: teams as well, both in the return game and then

108
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: in coverage and getting guys down and making tackles in space.

109
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: February is a month of speculation, you know, where we

110
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: haven't even hit the combine free agencies upon us. We

111
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen, but we do know some

112
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: things and the coaching changes and some of the coaching

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: staff has been solidified for the Chargers, starting with Shane

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Stike and coming back as the OC. I'm interested to

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: see what Shane does having a full offseason to prepare

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: it actually be the guy as opposed having to come

117
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: in mid season where and not really having that that

118
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: quarter back coach and having the support that I think

119
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: he's going to have this off season. Yeah, I think

120
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: we'll now get an opportunity because he has a full

121
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: offseason to kind of see what the true identity of

122
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: Shane Stike in offense looks like, because he's gonna be

123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: able to kind of implement it from you know, the

124
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: start of off season work in April and what his

125
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: vision is in terms of what he believes are the

126
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: bread and butter plays of staples of his offense. So

127
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: that's going to be interesting to see how that develops.

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: And a lot of that's going to depend on personnel too,

129
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: because I have a feeling that Shane's gonna tailor his

130
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: offense based on what personnel is available. And you know,

131
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: obviously Keenan and Austin I would assume are going to

132
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: be big parts of that. On her Henry if he

133
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: comes back in free agency, would obviously be another piece

134
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: of that. Mike Williams is gonna be back. We'll see

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: what happens with Melvin Gordon and at the quarterback position.

136
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: But I'm interested to see kind of what his influences are.

137
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he came up under Norv Turner initially

138
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: when when Norv was with the Chargers. Ken Wizen Hunts

139
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: probably gonna have a little bit influence Mike McCoy, m

140
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, you know, I mean Coach Coach Lynn too,

141
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: Coach Lynn Coast office obviously, Coach Winn is gonna have

142
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: a big big part of that as well. The West

143
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: Coast offense, and maybe some of the zone read stuff,

144
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: and and and maybe we'll see some influences there as well.

145
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: All Right, James Campin coming in as the offensive line coach. Um,

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: that's a big move. Pat Meyer going to Caroline. Yeah,

147
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a huge move because you get a

148
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: veteran guy that had a lot of success in Green Bay.

149
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: Our guy for the ESPN that covers the Packers. Rod

150
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Demoski spoke very highly of him, says he's a guy

151
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: that as a good guy, players are gonna like him.

152
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: But he's obviously very skilled and respected in terms of

153
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: what he knows and the old line, and so it'll

154
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how he influences young guys like

155
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Trey Pipkins, uh Tevy, Trent, Scott Feeney, you know, Forrest

156
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Lamp coming back from injury, and then how he kind

157
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: of messes those guys with older guys like Pouncey and

158
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: Oh Coom and I you know, Scott Scott Quisinberry certainly

159
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: played solid when he was in there. He play some pounds,

160
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: he's well, So he's another guy that's gonna be in

161
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: the mix. Um. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see the

162
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: kind of style they implement, you know, are they gonna

163
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: be a zone team? In terms of the run game.

164
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be a gap team or are they

165
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: going to be a mixture of both. Um, it'll be

166
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: interest to see what's his his evaluation and the personnel

167
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: and how that changes, how those five five guys are

168
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: gonna look up front based on the guys coming back

169
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: and then the guys available in the drafting free agency. Again,

170
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: we don't have much for you, right, it's it's fifth.

171
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: We don't know yet, we don't know what it's gonna

172
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: look like the front, So got months to go up front.

173
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: And then also some changes, same guys in the organization,

174
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: but moving to different roles. Alfredo Robert's gonna be the

175
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: tight ends coach. He's coached that position, played the four

176
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: played the position. Mark Ridgeley moving up being the running

177
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: backs coach. He's been in this building for a long time.

178
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: And then Rip Shard goes to a senior assistant role.

179
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: So some of the same pieces just in different places. Yeah,

180
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: and Mark's coach running backs before previously when when Ali

181
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: was the Wilson was the running backs coach, So he

182
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: has experience with that group and and and working with

183
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: that group. Um, and so he should be fine. Kind

184
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: of sliding in there. And then you know, obviously Anthony

185
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: spends a lot of time working with the running backs

186
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: as well because he's a former running back, former running

187
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: back coach, so has some influence with that group. It'll

188
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they use Rip, uh, you know,

189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: because he can move all over the place. He has

190
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: experienced on a lot of different position groups. Perhaps he's

191
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: a guy that that helped works with the quarterbacks because

192
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: he's done that in the past, has that that experience

193
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: in his past, and if you're gonna draft a young guy,

194
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: it probably would be good to have somebody with a

195
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: lot of experience like Rip working with that group on

196
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: a on a daily basis. So maybe that's something that

197
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: we see, uh, you know, depending on whether they bring

198
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: in a quarterbacks coach or not. Yeah, then you see

199
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Edison Lynch going to assistant DB's coach. Chris Harris goes

200
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: to Washington to take the DB's coach role with the Redskins. Uh. Yeah,

201
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: And it's been interesting because that position has been kind

202
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: of a springboard for for guys to move on to

203
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: other positions. I forget that the guy who was here previously,

204
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: but I think he went to the Colts in order

205
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: to be the dB coach there. And then Addison, who

206
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people speak highly ter break guy and

207
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: has a lot of energy too. Now he'll he'll come

208
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: in and take over as the assistant DV coach, working

209
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: with coach Miles. And then Miles's son, Ryan Miles, who

210
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: was here previously, is now going to be a quality

211
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: control out coacha believe for the defense. Yeah, so those

212
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: are the announcements as of now. Obviously still need to

213
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: fill the quarterbacks coach role, and I'm sure that'll come

214
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: sooner than later. Let's move to something that you wrote

215
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: about the twenty nineteen rookie draft class. Drew Trank will

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: obviously was the headliner, had a really good season. I

217
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: could see him as a foundational piece as a linebacker

218
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: for this team for the next few years. There's certain

219
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: guys that we just didn't get to see a lot

220
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: of zero Addelie, Jerry Tillery. You want to see his development.

221
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: I think those guys what they do this offseason, especially

222
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: you consider the fact that Jerry didn't have an off

223
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: season in this program. Almost liken it to Mike Williams

224
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: his rookie years. That's a great comparison because it's it's

225
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: very similar. Because of the injury issue, you didn't really

226
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: get to see him at his best until the end

227
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: of the year, where he really started to look like

228
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: he was comfortable in the scheme and what he was

229
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: being asked to do. And in terms of his strength too.

230
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: He had to think he's coming off of having shoulder

231
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: surgery and so he didn't have a chance to train

232
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: like everybody else did during the off season because he's

233
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: basically trying to get healthy. So I think this offseason

234
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: will be huge for Artillery because now he gets a

235
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: full off season to train for football and not have

236
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: to worry about recovering from an injury. He gets a

237
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: chance to kind of learn the scheme intimately and what

238
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: he's being asked to do. And I think because of

239
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: all that, he should be a better player in his

240
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: second year. And then with Nas, it's just kind of

241
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: the same thing. I mean, you know, he injured that

242
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: hamstring in Pro Day and it just never got better

243
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: and it ended up being worse than maybe originally thought

244
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: because it was a hamstring terror and he tried to

245
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: play through it, tried to tough it out. Um maybe

246
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: got a bad rap a little bit as a guy

247
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: that with you know, injury prone. This is the first

248
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: time I think he's been injured. I don't think he

249
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: missed a game at Delaware. Um. So it's a guy

250
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: that that's been pretty tough and has played through things.

251
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: And the thing I like about nas is we know

252
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: he can make plays. I mean, we saw it him

253
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: the short sample size again, thought he's gonna have like

254
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: five picks over the place. Was it was amazing his

255
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: play speed. And again I know it was against backups

256
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: and guys that maybe didn't end up playing the league,

257
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: but he certainly stood out in that short amount of

258
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: time that we got to see. And so I'm interested

259
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: if you can get fully healthy and learn that the

260
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: scheme and kind of figure out a role in that defense.

261
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: To me, he's a perfect example of the type of

262
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: player that you need to beat a team like the

263
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs led by Mahomes because he has speed, he has

264
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: closing speed, he can make tackles in space, he can

265
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: make plays in space, and he's gonna be the kind

266
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: of guy that you need in the middle of the

267
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: field to tackle a guy like Tyreek Hill or maybe

268
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: go and corral interception and take it the other other way,

269
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: make kind of an impact play against a team like that.

270
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I think he's built to play against a team like that.

271
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: And all we talked about after he was drafted was

272
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: Durwin James and Nazier Adelie. They didn't get to share

273
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: the field together at all now one play because Darwin

274
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: was hurt, and then Nas got put on ir later

275
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: in the year. So I think one of the silver

276
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: linings though, is the fact that we got to see

277
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: Raycheon Jenkins. He played some good football and he played

278
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: almost every snap this year, and you got to see

279
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: him developing, him kind of coming to his own as

280
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: a guy that's a legitimate person that can play free safety.

281
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: So now you have a free safety and a strong safety.

282
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Where does Nas fit in when that group? You know,

283
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: is he going to be a nickel slot defender? Is

284
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: he had third safety on the field? Can he play corner?

285
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: He's played corner before. He certainly has a skill set

286
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: to do it. We'll see where he ends up. Now

287
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: that the playoffs are over, and you know, you saw

288
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: teams like the Packers go to the NFC Championship game,

289
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the Titans go to the AFC Championship game, knowing what

290
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: you know about those teams and just having some time

291
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: to let the twenty nineteen seasons settle in. In terms

292
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: of what the Chargers did, what do you think they

293
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: can improve improve upon to get back to that team

294
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: that was winning double digit games. I think the number

295
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: one thing is obvious is taking care of the football

296
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: and taking the football away. Yeah. I mean it was

297
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: such a big disparity in terms of the turnovers and

298
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: had such an effect on games weekend and week out.

299
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: I think that has to be a point of emphasis

300
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: for Anthony Lynn going into the offseason. How do you

301
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: rectify that? So that over differential turnoound differential was huge,

302
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: it was it was tied for the worst in the league.

303
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: I think they had the lowest turnovers forced in the league.

304
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: So they didn't take the ball away and then they

305
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: didn't take care of the football, and when you end up,

306
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: I think it was two and nine in one score games. Obviously,

307
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: turnovers are going to have a factor largely in that So, UM,

308
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: taking care of the football, forcing turnovers is going to

309
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: be a big point of emphasis going in the next year. UM.

310
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: I think along with that, UM, you know, just kind

311
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: of solidifying the offensive line is going to be important

312
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: for to have an offense that can be consistent, and

313
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how they go about that.

314
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's fetching guys like Pouncy and

315
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Okoon coming back healthy and kind of being the guys

316
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: they were two years ago, or if it's going out

317
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: and drafting younger guys, or if it's it's you know,

318
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: you have some money in free agency. Maybe it's going

319
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: out and spending some money on proven, experienced offensive lineman

320
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: that can come in and help solidify that group. But um,

321
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, a guy that I covered a lot in

322
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: this league, Brandon Meban, always told me all line, D

323
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: line quarterback, that's where the game is won and lost

324
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: in this league. You have to have the guys up

325
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: front to kind of control the line of scrimmage on

326
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: both sides of the football, and then you have to

327
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: have the quarterback that can that can make the plays.

328
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: So we'll see if they can kind of, you know,

329
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: rectify things on the offensive line and improve things on

330
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the defensive line so they can be stronger on both

331
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: sides of the football up front. And it goes with

332
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: the article that you wrote about the draft class, Trey

333
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: Pipkins was a third round pick. He was a third

334
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: round pick for a reason, and he knew it was

335
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: going to take some time. But you want to see

336
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: that progression from your one to year two. And at

337
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: least he got some valuable snaps this past season he did,

338
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: which was huge. You know, he got to get out

339
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: in the field. He's kind of thrown in the fire.

340
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes maybe that's the best way to do it.

341
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, I mean you learn right in one way

342
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: or the other. And sometimes he looked fine. Other times

343
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: you look like whoa. You know, he needs work, so

344
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: we'll see how he can improve. One guy I liked

345
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: I wish I would have got to see more of

346
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: was Cortez Broughton. You know, he caught mono and they

347
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: end up putting on the non football injury list, But

348
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: the small amount of time he was in there, he

349
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: looked like he could be an effective interior pass rusher.

350
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how he improves from from

351
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: year one to year two. So those are kind of

352
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: two guys I think that flashed a little bit of potential,

353
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: and now you want to see how they continue to grow.

354
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: And they're they're year too you know, keep it with

355
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: a theme of those undrafted free agents to Roderick Teamer,

356
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: another guy who was a de facto part of that

357
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: rookie class, albeit he wasn't drafted, but he got some

358
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: valuable reps as well. And it just goes to having

359
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: as many guys in that secondary as possible that you

360
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: can mix in and rotate that can help slow teams

361
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: like the Chief Stone. Yeah, you're gonna need numbers. It's

362
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: it's you're gonna need more than the four guys back there.

363
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: And I think Teamer is a good example that Jalen

364
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: Watkins was another guy that that came in and filled

365
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: in nicely when Adrian Phillips would hurt. So, yeah, you

366
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: need more than four. Obviously, you want to have good depth,

367
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: and you want to continue to kind of build that

368
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: depth because you know that the injuries are coming the draft.

369
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: What are you looking at in terms of position groups

370
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: that that you're going to have your eye on when

371
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: you go to the combine in a few weeks. There

372
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: are certain positions that are absolutely loaded. I know, wide

373
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: receiver just going to the Senior Bowl. Wide receiver is

374
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: you could get a first round wide receiver in the

375
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: third round. I think this year offensive line is a

376
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: group you hear about, and obviously the quarterbacks. Yeah, I

377
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: mean I think he had to start with the quarterbacks first.

378
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: And you saw the guy up close. The guy I'm

379
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: interested to see throw the football to combine is Justin

380
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: Herbert out of Oregon. Obviously did well a senior Bowl.

381
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: Has a unique skill set. You know, at his size

382
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: six six two thirty, the ball seems to jump out

383
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: of his hand. He probably get speak to that more

384
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: than I can be getting a good week. Really smart guy,

385
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: but but can move. I mean it looks like he

386
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: runs four or five for six. I'm never to see

387
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: what he runs. I think he's pretty fast. Um. I

388
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: just think he's the guy who's going to continue to

389
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: move up. Um. You know from talking to people, Um,

390
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: you know that that do this for a living. Um.

391
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: He wasn't really allowed to show his full arsenal of

392
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: what he can do in Oregon's offense because I think

393
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: they kind of played it a little bit close to

394
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: the vest in terms of, you know, not letting him

395
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: open it up. So I think there's more there than

396
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: maybe people realize, because you weren't really allowed to see

397
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: everything that he didn't run a whole lot until at

398
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: the end. You know, you watched him in the in

399
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: the rose Ball and he broke off those runs. You're like,

400
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: I didn't know he could do that. So I just

401
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: think that he has a unique skill set. Obviously you

402
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: know that he's not the perfect player, but I think

403
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: he would be a good fit for what the Chargers

404
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: are looking for in a in a first round quarterback

405
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: that could come in and be a leader of this

406
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: franchise for the next decade. That's when good scouting comes

407
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: into play too, because I was just reading about Patrick Mahomes.

408
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: He didn't come from a winning program and you had

409
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: to really scout and do your work to realize that

410
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: this guy was going to be very special. And obviously

411
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs saw something in Patrick Mahomes that made them

412
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: move up to get a guy that they thought was

413
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: going to be a franchise guy, which he has become.

414
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: It was a pretty good decision decision. That's a pretty

415
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: good decision. When I was at the Senior Bowl, Eric,

416
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: I saw you at SOFI Stadium. What's the update would

417
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: you see? Would you gather give fans a little bit

418
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: of insight? Yeah, about eighty percent complete. We were able

419
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: to walk around the facility. Uh, both in the lower

420
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: levels in the top levels. See the oculus which is

421
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: still on the ground. They're going to raise that up

422
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: in the spring. It is supposed to be ready July

423
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: twenty fifth for the first event, which is a Taylor

424
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: Swift content to be there. You can see Taylor back stage. Man,

425
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: I got my passes, bro. I think the one thing

426
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: just being there, I'm struck by um. Obviously the largeness

427
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: of it. Um, but still because even though it's it's

428
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna be huge, there's almost a little bit of intimacy

429
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: if you can have that on a on a stadium

430
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: that big, because of the ways that the seating is,

431
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like how they've built the stadiums.

432
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: It goes out on the lower half and then it

433
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: goes up, so if you're up high, you're still you're

434
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: still kind of closer to the action than maybe you

435
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: would normally be in a you know, a traditional stadium

436
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: that was built in the fifties or sixties. I'm excited

437
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: to explore it. Yeah, there's gonna be so many bells

438
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: and whistles, you're gonna have to go a handful of

439
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: times to see everything. It's kind of like when I

440
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: go back to Cowboys Stadium eighteen te Stadium, I always

441
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: see something new that I didn't notice, you know, previously,

442
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: and I've been there a handful of times. I think

443
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be a similar kind of experience it

444
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: so far, I'm looking forward to to see in it

445
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: once it's completed. This will be the official welcoming of

446
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: football in Los Angeles. You know, we've we've been at

447
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: the Coliseum in Dignity Hell Sports Park where you talk

448
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: about the Rams and Chargers. This is gonna be it now,

449
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: and this is going to be a place where I

450
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: think a lot of folks in LA are going to

451
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: be excited to come check out. Oh, no doubt. I

452
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: think it's going to be, you know, if not the

453
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: best facility in the league, certainly one of the best,

454
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a great place to watch football.

455
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: A rare in studio appearance in the offseason from Eric
