And 61 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 5: so it's been generally pretty RESTful the past three days 62 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 5: and very relaxing and so good time to be able 63 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 5: to just charge my batteries after doing that gauntlet of 64 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 5: a production. 65 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 4: So it's been fun but tiring. 66 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: Good good to hear, and we'll get into it. So 67 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 3: when did you guys know you were going to do 68 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: this again after last year's success? Was it pretty early on, 69 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: like yeah, we got to do this, or to just 70 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: you get enough material after a while where you thought, okay, 71 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: we really do have to do this At some point. 72 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. 73 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 5: Selfishly like all last year, I was like, okay, if 74 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 5: we do a sequel, like, what are the things that 75 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 5: we're gonna have to do? What are some things that 76 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 5: we learned from last time that we'll want to take 77 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 5: into this time. That process was always kind of running 78 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 5: in the back of my head. But to answer your 79 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 5: question about like, I want to say, a month and 80 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 5: a half ago, we were pretty certain that we committed 81 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 5: to doing it again. Before that, we spent a couple 82 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 5: of weeks really just trying to you know, turn over 83 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 5: every rock and see if there was any other ideas 84 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 5: we think we're worth pursuing. And that's always that's just 85 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 5: like the process that we always have in this department, 86 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 5: And it really doesn't matter you know what, uh what 87 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 5: project it specifically is. I think we're always very open 88 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 5: and we like to have everybody give input before we 89 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 5: you know, devote a lot of resources to something. And 90 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 5: so yeah, so i'd say about a month and a 91 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 5: half was when we decided that we were going to 92 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: do it again. Thankfully, I had already like mentally prepared 93 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 5: for what kind of things we would want to do 94 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 5: the second time around. 95 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure you were kind of just chopping in 96 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: the bit with a bunch of ideas. So, you know, 97 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: I want to kind of dive into the process here, 98 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 2: because the Social team obviously tweeted that screenshot of like 99 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 2: the whole the whole board with all the sticky notes. 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 2: You know, what what kind of processes is there in 101 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: terms of like whittling and down, Like did you guys 102 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: have like a top five and then narrow it down 103 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: to like a top three? Or was this like, hey, 104 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: we have like two really good ideas, but let's let's 105 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: lean all into the anime. 106 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 5: I think what it was is like we definitely did 107 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 5: like start very wide first, like a like a wide 108 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 5: cone first, and then kind of narrowed ideas down. But 109 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 5: really like we did that as a means to just 110 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 5: kind of get ideas going, to get the brain kind 111 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 5: of turning, and then if there were some ideas that 112 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 5: we felt were that there was more to them, you know, 113 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 5: we'd let whoever came up with that idea kind of 114 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 5: give more spiel or give more projection of like what 115 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 5: that idea could look like. 116 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 3: Already. 117 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 5: Unfortunately, you know, I kind of had an unhe head start, 118 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 5: you know, thinking all throughout the year of like exactly 119 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 5: what we would be doing, or at least having a 120 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 5: rough idea of what we would be doing. So, you know, 121 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 5: it just so happened through our process that Anime Part 122 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 5: two was what we ended up deciding to go with. 123 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 5: But it we will meet, you know, once or twice 124 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 5: a week, just during the off season before the draft. 125 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 5: It was a periodical thing that David Bretto, uh, one 126 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 5: of our senior producers, kind of oversaw and helped facilitate. 127 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 4: So yeah, it does that answer your question? 128 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: No, yeah, I definitely did. You know. 129 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: I've heard from people at like Pixar, like they've done interviews, right, 130 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: and it's like, you know, a lot of people have 131 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: wondered like, oh, like what was the deal with like 132 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: Incredibles one and two, like the gap being so big, 133 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: and one of the producers there was saying that it 134 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: takes them like so long to do these shots. So 135 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: I'm just curious, Like you look at that screenshot of 136 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: like Times Square or like you can look at the 137 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: screenshot of one of any of these stills, right, like 138 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: how long does it take you to get one of 139 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: those shots like complete? 140 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question. 141 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 5: It depends on like the scope of like what the 142 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 5: prompt is right, which the prompt would start with the 143 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 5: white writer's room and who have and as we all 144 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 5: collectively decide, like, Okay, this is the joke that we're 145 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 5: going with, this is the scene we're going with. That's 146 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 5: kind of the starting point. So it really depends on 147 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 5: how vast that prompt is. But for the most part, 148 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 5: it's about like a day to a day and a 149 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 5: half to two days. Some of the bad ones were 150 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 5: like three days to be able to like render all 151 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: of those things out.

We're gonna take this into some 491 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 2: trench Matt, some corner receiver matchups, some running back, linebacker matchups, 492 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: all that good stuff. So I'm curious to see where 493 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: Tyler ends up here, but really excited about this. I 494 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 2: know people who know me know I'm probably gonna spend 495 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 2: most of my time talking about trenches tonight. 496 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes. 497 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 2: But Tyler, what's the number one player matchup you are 498 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: most excited about on the Chargers schedule? 499 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 3: Ooh, the number one player matchup? If I'm going individual now, 500 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: it's not this simple, right, It's not like one guy's 501 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 3: always on one guy. It's not that simple. But I'm 502 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 3: looking at Tyreek Hill versus Michael Davis in Week one, 503 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: if you want to extrapolate that and say Tyreek Kill 504 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 3: and Jalen Waddle versus Michael Davis and a Sante Siamo junior. Fine, 505 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: but overall that's what I'm looking at because we need 506 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 3: to see this defense repeat what they did last year 507 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 3: against the Dolphins. Staley had a great scheme. Everyone is 508 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 3: playing fantastic. This is really the game where I think 509 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 3: a lot of fans noticed Alohi Gilman right off the 510 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: bat breaking up that pass. So I really need to 511 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 3: see these two corners. I'm assuming here that jac Jackson 512 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 3: is not healthy. Yes, I'm just assuming, but we need 513 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 3: to see these two corners go out and have a 514 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: great game, and in particular Michael Davis versus Tyreek Hill. 515 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 3: Michael Davis was fantastic last year, particularly against the Dolphins, 516 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 3: and it just took the random gopher down the sideline 517 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 3: that tripped him for Tyreek Hill to get his big touchdown. Otherwise, 518 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 3: Michael Davis locked it down that whole game and it 519 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 3: was a really, really big game for him. He needs 520 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: to have an excellent game if this is going to work. 521 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 3: The last time we saw the Chargers when they had 522 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 3: Michael Davis, it was great, and then they lost him, 523 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 3: and then they lost Michael Davis is a big part 524 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 3: of this defense, and so that matchup, while it isn't 525 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 3: always the same one guy versus the other guy, I 526 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 3: think Michael Davis versus Tyree Hill is a big one. 527 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: And if you look at in particular, if you just 528 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 3: look at the scheme overall, and Michael Davis is a 529 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 3: big part of this scheme. Tua toungue I Looa has 530 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 3: struggled historically. Granted, it's only five games against the stalely 531 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 3: Fangio Tree. So if you look at his EPA pri 532 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 3: play against every other team that's not one of those 533 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 3: Fangio Tree disciples, or just against Fangio himself, his EPA 534 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 3: per play is zero point one two seven. In terms 535 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 3: of EPA per dropback is that zero point one two 536 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 3: seven is actually point zero zero one higher than Herbert 537 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 3: versus everybody else at zero point one two six. That 538 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 3: zero point one two seven drops all the way to 539 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 3: zero point zero zero one when Tua is facing Saley 540 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: Fangio kind of disciples. Granted it's only five games, not 541 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: a big sample size, but the point is Michael Davis 542 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 3: is a big part of this scheme. The scheme has 543 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 3: shown to work really really well against someone like Tuatunga 544 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: Bai Loa, and so Michael Davis versus Tyreek Hill is 545 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 3: probably the most fun matchup for me and arguably the 546 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 3: most important of the year for making a scheme work 547 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 3: against a quarterback who isn't good against this scheme. 548 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of common misconceptions out there that 549 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: happen on Twitter. Obviously shocker who knew that. But one 550 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: of them is that you know that Justin Herbert struggles 551 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: against the Vicvangio tree and more so than maybe others, 552 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 2: and you know, the numbers just don't back that up, 553 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: whereas Tua and obviously some other quarterbacks. I mean, this 554 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 2: Vicvangier tree is all over the league at this point 555 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: do struggle versus the Vicvangio tree. So we'll see how J. C. 556 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: Jackson factors into that equation. You know, it's all positive 557 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: on the JC Jackson front. But Michael Davis was their 558 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: best cornerback last year on the Chargers, and he was 559 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: somebody who was top five in the league in forcing 560 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: completion percentage rate in the back half of the season, 561 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: and he was playing his best football of his career 562 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: because just like you could tell the comfort zone that 563 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 2: he was in in this kind of defense, and so 564 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: he also has a lot of positive history against Tyreek 565 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 2: Hill and players of that kind of speed profile. So 566 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 2: I imagine mc McDaniel and Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddel 567 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 2: are going to be very motivated to prove that. You know, 568 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: last year was maybe a bit of an aberration against 569 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: the Chargers, that it was just kind of a bad 570 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: day at the office. But you know, Tyreek Hill versus 571 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: Michael Davis, I think is a very juicy matchup for sure. 572 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: All Right, so I mentioned trench play, this is definitely 573 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: the first one to go. 574 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: We're talking. 575 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 2: In schedule release day two, a certain Raiders edge rusher 576 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: had some issues with the Chargers taking a shot at 577 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: him and the team via the pop Tart comparison. That 578 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: is one mister Max Crosby. So Max Crosby, after he 579 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 2: saw the pop Tart video, tweeted out something saying, you're 580 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: basically along the lines of like this is all I need, 581 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 2: Like this is this is a lot of motivation for me. 582 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: Whatever. 583 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: And you know, Max Rosby has had some good moments 584 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: against the Chargers for sure. He's averaging basically a round 585 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 2: eight pressures per game against the Chargers in Week one 586 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: last year had a ton of run stops, was fantastic 587 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: in that regard. But the one thing he's never really 588 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 2: done in the three matchups that have been possible is 589 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: go up against Rashawn Slater. There have been basically three 590 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 2: or four times per game where he'll go up against 591 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: Rashawn Slater for a few snaps here and there, and 592 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: then he'll just go back to the other side. So 593 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 2: call this a challenge if we will, maybe for Max Crosby, 594 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: instead of lining up against the right side, go against 595 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 2: the all pro left tackle man, go up against the 596 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: Rashawn Slater. I would love to see that matchup happen 597 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 2: more often, you know, not to say that I'm not 598 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: excited about the Trey Pippic inside of that thing, because 599 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: I do think that Trey as well has taken some 600 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: big steps. And he did not play in the second 601 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: game last year because he was injured dealing with the 602 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: MCLs brain So Trey has really come into his own 603 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: obviously at the talent end of last season. 604 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: He'll be healthier presumably this year. 605 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 2: So I'm saying Max Crosby versus whatever charges offensive tackle, 606 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: but I want some of that with Rashawn Slater smoke 607 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 2: if I'm Max Crosby after. 608 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 3: That video, Wow, I can't believe for this to be 609 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 3: cropped out after he has twelve treasures. I can't wait 610 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 3: to see you on the Raiders podcast network, Sorr. I mean, listen, 611 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 3: if you're gonna have faith in any it's Rashawn Slater. 612 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 3: But you know, we'll see where things end up. I 613 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: certainly wouldn't be calling out Max Crosby because I've seen 614 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 3: him do quite a bit of damage against the Chargers. Sure, unfortunately, 615 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 3: but hey, you know, you have a lot of faith 616 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 3: in Rashawn Slater. He's growing a beard now, which I 617 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 3: think makes him an instant all pro I believe, So yeah, 618 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 3: I'm I'm all for it. Really, any matchup on this 619 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 3: schedule will be fun. I want to see Rashawn Slater 620 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: out there period, like as is. If we're talking about 621 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 3: more trenches stuff, I think Chargers versus like the Dallas 622 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: Cowboys offensive line or excuse me, defensive line would love 623 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 3: to see that. So yeah, Rashawn Slater versus anyone would 624 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 3: be a fun matchup. 625 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 626 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: Max Rosby is a fantastic player, certainly one of the 627 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: top five pass rushers in the league. A ton of 628 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 2: respect for what he does as as a down to 629 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 2: down player. I just want to see him go up 630 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: against Shawn Man like I just I want some more 631 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: of best on best, and that's something I really respect 632 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 2: from Micah Parsons. You mentioned the Cowboys. Micah Parsons is 633 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: very deliberate again in going up against elite left tackles, 634 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: like he was very deliberate against going against Tred Williams 635 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: and the playoffs and stuff like that. So that could 636 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: have been maybe choice number one is Parsons versus Slater 637 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: some draft class matchup, but I had to talk about 638 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: Max Crosby because he apparently took some issues with the 639 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: Pop Tart reference. 640 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 3: Lovely Yeah, Chargers offensive line versus Cowboys defensive line. I 641 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 3: was looking it up and that Cowboys defensive front. In 642 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 3: terms of Parsons Smith, excuse me, Smith just got drafted Parsons, 643 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 3: Lawrence Williams, Odigezua, and Hankasa Thanks. That group generated two 644 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 3: hundred two pressures in twenty eight sacks last season, and 645 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: then they added Mazzie Smith in the first round, who 646 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 3: you loved. I really liked, so not really like a 647 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 3: pass rusher. But still adding to a stack defensive line 648 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 3: versus the Charges offensive line in general, that's arguably their 649 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 3: best unit overall. I would say that outside of just 650 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 3: you know, quarterback being Justin Herbert, that's probably their best 651 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: unit in terms of the guys that they have and 652 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 3: the floor and the ceiling. So that's gonna be a 653 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 3: huge matchup. My next visual one though again it's not 654 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 3: this simple, but it's going to be Eric Kendricks versus 655 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry. And you could really see Eric Kendricks versus 656 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 3: any other running back on the schedule. But this is 657 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 3: the one. We'll figure out pretty early on if the 658 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 3: Chargers made the right decision by having Kendricks instead of 659 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: Drew Tranquill and to some extent, over someone like Kaiser White. 660 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: They now have Eric Kendricks. They've had good linebacker play, 661 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 3: but the Chargers really want to get great linebacker play, 662 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: and throughout his career, Kendricks has had great linebacker play. 663 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 3: Brandon Saley thinks that he is a great linebacker, one 664 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: of the best linebackers in the league. That's why they 665 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 3: signed him, That's why he's got a two year deal, 666 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: and that's why he is the starter on this defense 667 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 3: right now, and you'll find out pretty early on if 668 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 3: Kendricks is it. I'm not saying that this game decides 669 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 3: everything for the rest of the season, but I want 670 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 3: to know if this decision to go with Kendricks paid off, 671 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 3: and specifically, are they making plays whereas Kendricks making plays 672 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 3: closer to the line of sage, even behind the line 673 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 3: of scrimmage? Is he better against the run in the 674 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 3: way that Drew Trankwill maybe was not as much now 675 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: that Drew Draankle was a bad player. In fact, I 676 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 3: think he's a really good player who did a lot 677 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 3: of great things for the Chargers, but the one thing 678 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 3: they wanted to upgrade was that run defense, working downhill, 679 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 3: getting clip plays closer to the line of scrimmage. And 680 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 3: that's why he brought an Eric Kendricks so early on. 681 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 3: Eric Kendricks versus teen Titan Cyborg Derrick Henry, that's a 682 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 3: matchup that I'm really looking forward to, and that's early 683 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 3: in the season. 684 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the run defense was a topic of 685 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: conversation today at the press conferences with Sebastian, Joseph Day 686 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 2: and Derek Hansley, And you know, we'll see right away 687 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 2: if the Chargers are going to be able to fix 688 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 2: that that solution. So I was just looking right now 689 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: if there was any like previous history to go off 690 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 2: of with Kendricks versus Derrick Henry. 691 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: There is. 692 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 2: I see one game in twenty twenty. Do you want 693 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: me to tell you the numbers on that one? 694 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to say that, while I was sure, 695 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 3: while I keep looking, Yeah, So twenty twenty, Derek Henry 696 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: had twenty six carries for one hundred nineteen yards and 697 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 3: two touchdowns in that game. Eric Hendricks had six tackles 698 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 3: under pressure of that game. So Derek Henley Henry definitely 699 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: had his way. But again, it's it's it's really the 700 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 3: whole defense, right, sayan Kendricks versus Henry is not accounting 701 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 3: for so many things. And even the last time the 702 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 3: Chargers played Henry, it was really about spashing Joseph Day, 703 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 3: Brandon Fojoco and the defensive line. So again, it's not 704 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 3: that simple. But that's really the first one we're going 705 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 3: to see if this run defense is improved because of 706 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 3: the play of their linebacker. 707 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, one hundred percent. 708 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 2: I just wanted to see if there was a ton 709 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 2: of history there or not and obviously NFC North, AFC South, 710 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: there's probably not a ton of you know, crossover there. 711 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 2: But you know, everything that everybody is talking about with 712 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 2: Eric Hendricks is obviously first and foremost, like the run defense, 713 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: like how established he has been, his leadership, you know, 714 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: his ability as as that play caller on defense. So 715 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 2: you know last year they did such a good job 716 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 2: against Derek Henry obviously, like you mentioned, because of the 717 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 2: defensive line, which allowed guys like Kenneth Murray and Trew 718 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 2: Trenkle to go and really focus in on that. Obviously, 719 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 2: Drwin played a wait to Durren play in that game. No, 720 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 2: he was out. 721 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: Now, I can't remember. That was after the Colts game. 722 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty two was a long time ago. 723 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 3: Yeah it was, It was such a long time ago. 724 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: But no, I think that's a spot on one. 725 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 2: I think Eric Kendricks versus a number of these running 726 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 2: backs would be a good one there. Talking about the Vikings. 727 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 2: My other one here is going to be. 728 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 3: J. C. Jackson versus Justin Jefferson. 729 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 2: This is probably one of the number one reasons why 730 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: the Chargers went out and got j. C. 731 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: Jackson. 732 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 2: And again we'll see about his health, right, but they 733 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 2: wanted to go out and get a guy who could 734 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 2: truly shadow number one receivers, and turns out they might 735 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 2: have two of those guys now with Michael Davis. So 736 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 2: this is gonna be a big opportunity for j C. 737 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 2: Jacks to prove that he's healthy, that he's himself, that 738 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 2: he can go out and go up against guys like this. 739 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: And I know that there's some you know, revisionist history 740 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,959 Speaker 2: when it comes to j C. Jackson's play against DK 741 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 2: Metcalf in particularly if you really watched that game before 742 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 2: j C. Jackson got hurt, he went after DK Metcalf 743 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: and had some really good reps at a pass breakup 744 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 2: and was in position to get an interception before he 745 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 2: ultimately got injured against Marquise Goodwin. 746 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: So j C. 747 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 2: Jackson against Justin Jefferson, he's one of the best, if 748 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: not the best, wide receivers in the league. 749 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: Obviously, the last. 750 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 2: Time Justin Jefferson played against the Chargers, it did not 751 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 2: go very well. Michael Davis left injured in that game. 752 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 2: I believe there were some other injuries as well. This 753 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: was back in twenty twenty one, and Justin Jefferson had 754 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 2: nine catches for one hundred and forty three yards, Like 755 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 2: there just was no stopping him that day. But now 756 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: the Chargers theoretically should be much more well equipped to 757 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 2: handle a player like Justin Jefferson. Maybe you don't even 758 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 2: need to do the whole shadow thing because you have 759 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 2: Michael Davis and j C. 760 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: Jackson. 761 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 2: There's also the added layer here of the Vikings getting 762 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 2: Jordan Addison in the draft. 763 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: They traded for T. J. 764 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 2: Hawkinson last year, So in twenty twenty one, it was 765 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,479 Speaker 2: really just Jefferson and Thieling and it's still like didn't 766 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 2: really matter. So the way that the Chargers go about 767 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 2: matching up with elite receivers I think is super key 768 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 2: to the season in general. But this theoretically, with this 769 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 2: matchup with the Vikings theoretically should be right about when 770 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 2: jac Jackson is really kind of rounding into form, and 771 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 2: so I think the schedule here with the Vikings might 772 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 2: indicate an opportunity for j. C. Jackson to go out 773 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 2: and shadow Justin Jefferson and get back to his former self. 774 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, what a game to try to get back to 775 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 3: your former self after a horrific injury. Here's Justin Jefferson 776 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 3: good luck. I'll have to root for j C. Jackson 777 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 3: while Justin Jefferson is on my fantasy team, So conflict 778 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 3: of interest there for sure. But you're definitely more optimistic 779 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 3: about j C. Jackson's health then. I don't want to 780 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 3: say that more optimistic than I am, but going against 781 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 3: Jefferson in week three, that is pretty optimistic. 782 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, he himself is saying that he wants 783 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 2: to be one hundred percent by the start of the season. 784 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 2: I still am like my preference with JC, like I 785 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 2: said on our show, is that maybe you give him 786 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 2: the first few weeks. 787 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 1: And then after the bye he comes back. 788 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 2: But you know, if he's one hundred percent healthy by 789 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 2: the start of the season, we'll be able to tell 790 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 2: in week three. So I'm still kind of cautiously optimistic 791 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 2: here with jac selth have you been through that same 792 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 2: injury myself? 793 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: But this is this would be the. 794 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 2: First test, like, this would be the first indication of 795 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 2: us being able to find out really where jac is 796 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 2: at with his health and with his confidence level as well. 797 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I'll flip it to my last matchup, 798 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 3: another wide receiver versus corner matchup again, not as simple 799 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 3: as this, but I have to go Quentin Johnson versus 800 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 3: Lagarious sneed Trent McDuffie in some order. We don't really 801 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 3: know exactly where Johnston's going to play, so I'm not 802 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 3: going to assign him one corner just yet. If it's 803 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 3: more in the slot, then it will be sneat. If 804 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 3: it's more outside, maybe it's McDuffie, some combination, whatever. But 805 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 3: the Chargers got Johnston. Yes, to be better on offense, 806 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 3: Y has to win the Super Bowl, all those things, 807 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 3: but really, outside of winning the Super Bowl, the number 808 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 3: one thing is to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Once 809 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: would be good, Twice would be best, maybe three times 810 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, who knows. But they got to beat 811 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs and they need more offense, and 812 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 3: that's why they went and got him. They do not 813 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 3: have someone or they did not have someone like Johnson 814 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 3: last year when they played the Chiefs, no matter who 815 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 3: was healthy, not healthy, whatever, there was nobody on the 816 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 3: team like Quinton Johnston. And so he's going to have 817 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 3: to be big. And I think, you know, getting acclimated 818 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 3: to the NFL, working through things at the beginning of 819 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 3: the season, all good but at some point, you know, 820 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 3: midway through the season and then very late, at the 821 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 3: very last game of the season, Quentin Johnson's going to 822 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 3: be out there and maybe they're fighting for a postseason spot, 823 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 3: maybe they're fighting for the AFC West, who knows, maybe 824 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 3: they're fighting for the number one seed. Let's say I'm 825 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 3: not optimistic for the Chargers. Johnson needs to be that guy. 826 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 3: You know, when Mike Williams in one play on Sunday 827 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 3: Night Football or whatever it was, Mike Williams great play, 828 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 3: got hurt and they really didn't have a whole lot 829 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 3: to go off of with Keenan kind of being you know, 830 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 3: halfway in, halfway out. They need that other guy. They 831 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 3: need Quinton Johnson. They need him to be an explosive guy, 832 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 3: a stabilizing force in the room, you name it. So 833 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 3: that game in particular, not because I think that's the 834 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 3: greatest corner versus receiver matchup on the schedule. It's not, 835 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 3: but it's arguably one of the most important because they 836 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 3: need to beat the Chiefs and they have not beaten 837 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 3: the Chiefs. Therefore, Quentin Johnson needs to step up so 838 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 3: they can beat the Chiefs. 839 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's a good one, and I think that 840 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 2: also will give us, you know, a good indication of 841 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 2: where he is at, because that Chiefs secondary is really 842 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 2: good as well. So how they go about attacking that 843 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 2: chief secondary with Quinton Johnson is in general, is going 844 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 2: to be a very interesting story line here. So how 845 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 2: they create those mismatches with Kellen Moore is gonna be fascinating. 846 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 2: Last one here for me, I'm gonna go with Keenan 847 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 2: Allen versus JayR Alexander again, a matchup that we don't 848 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 2: necessarily see. 849 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: A ton of. 850 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 2: I don't remember if JayR played in the last Packers 851 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 2: Chargers matchup. I want to say that might have been 852 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 2: his rookie season at best, you know that being back 853 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 2: at at stub Hub back in twenty nineteen. So Alexander 854 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 2: one of the best corners in the NFL, and really 855 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 2: the cornerback group in general for the Packers is probably 856 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 2: their best position group. Maybe offensive tackle if David Baktiaris 857 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 2: is able to get healthy, maybe the edge rusher group 858 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 2: if for Shuan Gary can get healthy. But cornerback wise, 859 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 2: they're pretty stacked man with JayR, with Eric Stokes and 860 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 2: Rasull Douglas as well. So Alexander is their number one guy. 861 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 2: He travels into the slot. He's not somebody that's like 862 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 2: exclusively an outside corner. So Jaire versus Keenan Allen I 863 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 2: think is gonna be a ton of fun to watch 864 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 2: because that's that's the top dog, and the top dog. 865 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 2: We don't really see a ton of truly elite corners 866 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 2: follow Keenan into the slot. You know that doesn't You 867 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 2: know a lot of guys these days are are you know, 868 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 2: kind of more pigeonholed into being an outside in the 869 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: slot guy. But JayR will go into the slot against 870 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 2: Keenan Allen. And obviously there's the Brandon Staley versus Oh 871 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 2: my gosh, I'm totally blanking on his name right now. 872 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 2: He was the Charges linebacker coach for like a day 873 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 2: and then the Packers swiped him. 874 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: Joe Barry. 875 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 2: Joe Berry is their defensive coordinator, so there's some familiarity 876 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 2: there in terms of scheme obviously from Joe Berry's days 877 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 2: with the Rams. But Jay Alexander turns back from his 878 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 2: injury last year. It plays at an all pro level. Again, 879 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 2: like I said, one of the better cornerbacks in the league. 880 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 2: So just just a matchup with that we don't really 881 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 2: see a lot and a just battle that we don't 882 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 2: see a lot, Like I mentioned with Keenan Allen playing 883 00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 2: so much in the slot, doesn't get a lot of 884 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 2: elite cornerback attention anymore. 885 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be a fun one. I think the Chargers 886 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 3: receivers have a pretty good history against the Packers. Again, 887 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 3: none that that matters. We're talking, they don't play every year, 888 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 3: but you know, Keenan Allen had that like fourteen catch, 889 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty something yard game against the Packers 890 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen, Mike Williams had his first hundred yard 891 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 3: game against the Packers, and I think it was Shane 892 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 3: Stige's first game as offensive coordinator if I'm not mistaken. 893 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 3: Whole different topic for another time. But yeah, I'm very 894 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 3: excited abut watching box right there. Yeah, not gonna talk 895 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 3: about that one right now. Yeah, so I'm very excited 896 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 3: about that one for sure. I actually didn't even consider 897 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 3: that matchup, but that's a really good one because the 898 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 3: Packers do have a good secondary. 899 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 900 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 2: I had another one that I wanted to talk about, 901 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,839 Speaker 2: but it's another Chargers Chiefs one, So I wasn't too 902 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 2: sure if I want rapid fire, so rapid fire, we'll 903 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 2: talk about it. But Jyr Alexander did play in the 904 00:42:53,160 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen matchup against the Chargers, so that day, let 905 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 2: me see, he gave up four catches for one hundred 906 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 2: and twenty nine yards on five targets. I assumed that 907 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 2: was to keen it out, So maybe a little bit 908 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 2: of a revenge game for Jig. 909 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: Alexander as well. 910 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 2: One of the ones that I'm definitely interested in in 911 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 2: general is Joey Bosa going back up against the wall 912 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 2: of Jawan Taylor, because I think that was obviously not 913 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 2: a great experience for Joey. You know, there was definitely 914 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 2: some frustration from Jowan Taylor maybe getting some false start 915 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 2: advantages that that should not have been happening, some holding advantages. 916 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 3: As well as obviously Joey and his injury. 917 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,800 Speaker 2: So I think Joey is always highly motivated against the Chiefs. 918 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 2: He always plays well against the Chiefs, but I think 919 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 2: this year, with Jawan Taylor going back at right tackle 920 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,760 Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, I think there's gonna be some extra 921 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 2: juice in that matchup. 922 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 3: Ooh, I completely forgot about that one because when you 923 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 3: as soon as you mentioned, I'm like, well, he's on 924 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 3: the Jaguars, but no, that's right, he's on the Chiefs. Now, 925 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 3: that's an intriguing storyline. Shoot, I wish I thought of 926 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 3: that one. I was thinking, like Khalil Macbers, Pine Sewel, 927 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 3: that's just more for my enjoyment than anything else. But yeah, 928 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 3: Joey Bussen versus Jawan Taylor and the kind of little 929 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 3: extra stuff in there that's fun. 930 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, you look at these right tackles that the Chargers 931 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 2: are playing this year. There's a lot of good ones, 932 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 2: including Piney Jawan Taylor obviously, so it should be a 933 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 2: lot of fun. This is a great schedule, man, Like, 934 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 2: there's so many juicy individual matchups that we could have 935 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 2: gotten to. Any other ones that you wanted to shout 936 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 2: out really quickly. 937 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 3: Here Zion Johnson versus Chris Jones. That worked out well 938 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 3: the first game, maybe not as great the second game, 939 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 3: although I believe he was hurt. Zion Johnson's making that switch, 940 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 3: and I want to see him in a new offense 941 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 3: that suits him in between two all pros in his 942 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 3: second year at his quote unquote natural spot playing against 943 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 3: one of the best defensive tackles in the lead. 944 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris Jones, I think kind of became that. Well, 945 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 2: what happens if Aaron Jones missus time guy. You know, 946 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 2: everybody kind of looked at him as as kind of 947 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 2: the best cheer guy. Zion versus Quinn Williams, I think 948 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,399 Speaker 2: is an interesting one too, because, like like you mentioned, 949 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 2: the same kind of conversation, Quinn Williams one of the 950 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 2: better guys in the league. Zion shouldn't be more comfortable 951 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 2: on the left side as well as coming into year two. 952 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,800 Speaker 2: So he played really well in moments against these top guys. 953 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 2: Definitely had some struggles. I remember Jeffrey Simmons got him 954 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 2: on a rep one time, Chris Jones as well, like 955 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 2: you mentioned, But you know, there's enough good signs there 956 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 2: to make me excited about those matchups with the intier 957 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 2: players this year. M So, no pressure anything, guys, just 958 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 2: you know, justin Jefferson, Quinn Williams. Max Crosby highlighted on 959 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 2: the show today. 960 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 3: Yeah you'll be fine. 961 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,399 Speaker 1: You got this.
