Speaker 2: here as always joined by the voice of the Chargers

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: Matt Muddy Smith. Money. When you saw the navies in action,

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: those were different navies. Those were much different navies, and

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: the Chargers showed out at them.

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Just yeah, you know, to set the scene last two

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: you know from Sunday Charger Power. They win that game

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: and people feel a lot better about how it looked.

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Just the field was beautiful, the end zones, the corners,

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: all of the signage the way like the to the

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: Charger in game staff just tip of the cap and

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: they did not cut any corners. All of the presentation

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: on the video boards were all in sync, you know

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: last night, and the navies, the navies were beautiful, they

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: looked great, The field looked great. And on top of

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: all that, all of the production was like nineteen nineties

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: early two thousands Nintendo with the eight bit sound effects

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: and the way it looked in the corners. They just

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: did a really great job of not just saying yeah,

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw on some uniforms that remind you of

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: the early two thousands and the midnight No, we're gonna

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: go all out, and so a big congratulations to them.

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: It looked great. They do it better than anybody else

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And I'm stoked the Bolts, you know,

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: the football players could put an effort that got people

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: really excited about not just how they looked, but how

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: they played.

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chris, it was a supercharging look.

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: Man.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: It was growing up watching Junior Seau and LT and

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: Nate Tron means that's a throwback for you, right. That

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 5: brought me back to my childhood. That all blue with

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 5: the dark blue helmet.

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: It was legit. It was a legit change the pace.

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 5: I always thought that, you know, the Chargers had the

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 5: best uniforms in the NFL, But when they broke out

42
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 5: these this summer and gave us a sneak peak, but

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 5: to see them live in action under the lights on primetime,

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit jealous.

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: I didn't get to wear those.

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: I told you body after the game, I said, there's

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: no way you guys were going to lose in these uniforms.

48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: It would have been criminal to lose in the navies.

49
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: And hey, you know, Rodney Harrison gets seductive to the

50
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: Chargers Hall of Fame. They scored thirty seven points for

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: Rodney right in offensive performance where they didn't punt the

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: football and guys. As a leaping off point, I just

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: want to go to this one play that the Chargers

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: second play from scrimmage on offense. It's second and thirteen.

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: I believe from the fourteen what looks like a pick

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: six going the other way and an early Vikings lead

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: gets overturned, and from that moment on, Justin Herbert brushes

58
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: that pass off, drives all the way down the field

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: of Ronde Gatson. They've unlocked something with him, will get

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: into a Rondez. But Buddy, I feel like that play

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: really just changed the complexion of the entire game. It

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: could have been a very different game at the start.

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: Well, I think you can just go back to Sunday, right,

64
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, the Chargers are down seven to nothing. The

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: Colts had just driven it the length of the field

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: and here they are Shia midfield on fourth and two

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: and they go for it and they think they get

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: a stuff and everybody's celebrating, and now the Chargers are

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: going to get at midfield, try to tie this game

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: up and sort of answer this Colts juggernaut with a

71
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: score of their own, and instead, instant replay overturns it.

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: The Colts come back out, they score another touchdown, and

73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, it just was this deflating moment. I think

74
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. It was a great call by Brian Flores.

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Nobody blitzes more from off the ball, you know he'll

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: bring you know, that was Metellus that came and man,

77
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: he timed it up perfectly. I thought it was an

78
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: off side. He timed it up so well. Hit Herbert

79
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: as he throws. Isaiah Rodgers, who's had an for the

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: ball season, comes up with it and it's a pick six,

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: and it's you know, when you think about what the

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Chargers have been going through three of the last four weeks,

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: losing games, needing that crazy win in Miami to not

84
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: make it four in a row, and you're just kind

85
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: of wondering, how was that going to set the tone

86
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: for this thing?

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: Now?

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: And then you have it overturned, and I think coach

89
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: Harbaugh put it perfectly. You know, some guys had shrink

90
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: in that moment, be like, Okay, I gotta take care

91
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: of the ball, and what the heck was I thinking?

92
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: And I almost put it. Instead, Herbert just starts unleashing

93
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: man and just carved him up the rest of the

94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: way down the field, perfect passing the ball, and I

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: posted a reel on my Instagram of him on that

96
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: second in goal after come on, he got stuffed at

97
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: first and goal from the eight man. It might have

98
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: been the best play of the game, and it'll go

99
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: in the box score as a two yard carry, as

100
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: a two yard scramble, but it was going from second

101
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: and goal from the ten to third and goal from

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: the twenty when Grenard came off that edge unblocked and

103
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Herbert escaped him split two other defenders, made it third

104
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: and goal from the eight, and that led to that

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to a Roddie. So I think it was

106
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: that play in conjunction with that whole first drive. Just

107
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: felt like that really set the tone.

108
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, money, just before you chime in the next The

109
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: next play after that was a seventeen yard reception to

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: Keenan that set it off there. I think it was

111
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: thirteen and again.

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just a tale of momentum when you

113
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: look at it, when you've seen the pick six first

114
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 5: of all, that that just took the energy out of

115
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 5: the stadium right when you talked about it, and you know,

116
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: mentioning the turnovers that Herbert has had in the last

117
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: couple of weeks, you've seen it go for a score

118
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: and you're just like.

119
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: Oh, man, here we go.

120
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: And then the call gets overturned rightfully, So the ball

121
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 5: did touch the ground while he was trying to get

122
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 5: up and make a play on the ball. Excuse me,

123
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 5: get up to score and get a pick six. But

124
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 5: it was just the momentum switch. After that, you said

125
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: the seventeen yard completion, Chris, and that just changed the

126
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: whole momentum. And from that play on, the Chargers had

127
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 5: the game by the horns and it didn't look close

128
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: at all all evening long.

129
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: Guys, the way the offense looks and you don't have

130
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: a more Hampton. Kimani steps up. It was tough sledding

131
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: at first for him, but he got better as the

132
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: game went on. One hundred and seventeen yards and a touchdown.

133
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: They have unlocked something with Ironde. Now. I mean we

134
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: saw him kind of come on after that fumble in

135
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: Miami and rebound in South Beach, and then what he

136
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: did on Sunday was remarkable and just now it's becoming

137
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: something for this offense. And the fact that I don't

138
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: think Quentin was targeted in this game. He saw Ladd

139
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: heat up. I think it's encouraging money that you can

140
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: really change up your game plan on a week to

141
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: week basis and you really don't know who's going to

142
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: get the football. But really, at the head of it,

143
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: you mentioned Justin like that two yard rush, like you said,

144
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: it's not going to show up at the box score,

145
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: but the way that he even with his legs too, money,

146
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: Like he really kind of unleashed his legs against the

147
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: Vikings as well.

148
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'll just kind of start with with

149
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: a Ronde, you know, as a jumping off point. I

150
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: was thinking about it when Greg Roman had his first

151
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: press conference and he said, can you imagine Justin Herbert

152
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: with a running game? And I've been saying it since

153
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: his rookie year. Can you imagine Justin Herbert with an

154
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: elite pass catching tight end just because we saw it.

155
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: We saw how important Hunter Henry was to what he

156
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: was doing. You know, Mike and Keenan got all the attention,

157
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and rightfully so. But you could see when chips were down,

158
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: how he used Hunter in the red zone in third

159
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: down plays, just utilizing the middle of the field, having

160
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: that athletic tight end. Just that's a connection with Herbert.

161
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: There's something about that particular position. I think you just

162
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: look at how we elevated the game of Jared Cook,

163
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: of Gerald Effort, whomever it was. He made them better

164
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: than what they were coming in. And now you know,

165
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: credit to Joe Ortiz and Chad Alexander and that whole

166
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: staff whomever was scouting Arondez to find this incredibly. You know,

167
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: DJ put it best on the broadcast. He's like, it's

168
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: like looking in it's it's not an insult, it's a compliment.

169
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: It's like you just feel like you're looking at a

170
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: big slot. Yet he's two hundred and almost fifty pounds

171
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: now you know, with all the weight that he's put on,

172
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: and man, it's a weapon for him. And I'll tell

173
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: you you go back to the this game was a

174
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: little bit more. Yeah, Ronde's wiggling and getting open and stuff.

175
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Still dug out a couple catches. But man, you go

176
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: back to that Colts game. He's got that catch on

177
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: the right sideline. He is fully extended snatching that ball

178
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: out of the air. He's got one that he catches

179
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: behind his back. He's got another one that he's getting

180
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: going to the ground like this. Dude's got some hands now. Man,

181
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: it's not just I'm running seams and I'm open, Come

182
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: hit me. Man, he has got some hands on him

183
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: to make some great plays. And I just cannot wait

184
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: to see how this whole season develops as he continues

185
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: to stat games and get better and better.

186
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, tight ends of quarterbacks best friend, we know that

187
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 5: to be true. But my biggest thing with him is

188
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 5: he was a former wide receiver and you can see

189
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: that in his route run. You can see that in

190
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 5: his ability to attack the leverage of a dB and

191
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: set him up knowing where he's going right. So I

192
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: just think him being the former wide receiver he is

193
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 5: at six five, two fifty five. We had him on

194
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 5: the podcast a few weeks ago, and I remember talking

195
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: when we were talking about the size of his hands.

196
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 5: How his hands was like triple size of mind. Right,

197
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 5: and he's just a mitche mass for defenses, and a

198
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: lot of times defense when you're defensive coordinators, they want

199
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 5: quarterbacks to throw the ball in lane one and laye

200
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: nine that's on the outside. Those are the toughest throws

201
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: for a quarterback to make that the furthest throws. But

202
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 5: when you have a tight end, a guy that can

203
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 5: stretch the field money you said it. Those making those

204
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 5: throws down the middle of the field, that's like taking

205
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 5: Kenny from a baby. For Justin right and their connection

206
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 5: and their their continuity is going to just continue to

207
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: grow with reps and experience. And tip your hat to

208
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: joy Tis once again. Finding a late round guy, a

209
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 5: guy who fits their system, not just going for someone

210
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 5: who you know, the mock draft boys say you should

211
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 5: go for because he ran a certain forty, but a

212
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 5: guy who fits their system, knowing what they like, knowing

213
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 5: what they need at that position. Going out and finding them,

214
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 5: you got to tip your hat to the front office

215
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: once again.

216
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: Right, a little fire to him too, got that that

217
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: fifteen yard pinal of the end zone. But I think

218
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 2: a way you kind of liked that you.

219
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, I didn't know what that was about. I

220
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: was trying.

221
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 5: I was trying to see if maybe the DV was

222
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: talking smack to him maybe prior to those plays.

223
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't see what.

224
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: Hey, you know what I'm all for, dude, take hey,

225
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 5: bring the Jews right. It's a it's a penalty, but

226
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: it doesn't harm us. You'd like to see that confidence

227
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 5: from the young book man. He's he's showing up and

228
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 5: he's showing out.

229
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: It looked less good. It's it's just real quick. It's

230
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: it's him and Tyler Warren. You know, when you think

231
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: about and look, Harrold Fannin's had a really great start

232
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: to his career, and you know, he's had some issues

233
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: with quarterbacking and offense as a hole in Cleveland. I

234
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: think he's going to be great. But when you think

235
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: about all the tight ends that we got excited about

236
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: in this draft class, and look, I'll be honest, we

237
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: barely brought up a ronde against it like he was

238
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: because we were kind of thinking in that second third round,

239
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: like hey, is it Ferguson, is it fan In? Like

240
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: which one of these guys can you go nab? Because

241
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: it's certainly the way the the room was lined up

242
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: in terms of how much money was in there and

243
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: what was needed with you know, it just lined up

244
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: that they were going to draft a tight end. And

245
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: I think at this point, if you're Joe Ortiz, just

246
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: trade well, keep your first round picks, but trade everything

247
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: else and just get fifth round picks. Man, just get

248
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of fifths Man Tarheb and cam Hart and

249
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: now Aronde Gadsden. Man, It's it's incredible what they're pulling out.

250
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's truly Tyler, Warren and Ronde

251
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: at this point in terms. I mean, the guy broke

252
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: a record from nineteen sixty one the most you know,

253
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: receiving yards by a rookie tight end.

254
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: Since Ditka with Gates in the building.

255
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's you know, last week against their

256
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Colts, it was Mark bavaro Is who

257
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: you're being mentioned with, and Antonio Gates and now you're

258
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: being mentioned with, you know, one of the five greatest

259
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: tight ends in the history of football. And Mike Ditka,

260
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's crazy what he's putting together and

261
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: it's impressive. He's helping his quarterback out. He's making himself

262
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: available on some of those scramble runs and recognizing how

263
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: to how to adjust and how to same with and

264
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: I know you'll get to it. I don't want to

265
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: keep blabbering here, but same with Tray Harris Man. These kids,

266
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: the young guys, you know, recognizing Justin's in trouble. He's

267
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: rolling out to the riot. It's not there on the flat.

268
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: Let me help my quarterback out. I'm gonna break my

269
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: guy off here. I see him coming back to my

270
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: laugh Now, I'm gonna I'm gonna, you know, juke my

271
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: guy and get open and make myself available. And these

272
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: are rookies, you know, his fifth round pick, this a

273
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: second round pick, and they're out there making all these plays.

274
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 4: Man.

275
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Either the fact that Gates was in the building

276
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: last night too, givid Rodney his jacket like he he

277
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: reminded me of Gates a little bit with the Navy on.

278
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's like, all right, this is this feels

279
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: like it just feels right that that quarterback tight end combination.

280
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: Coach Harball mentioned I think on the lad touchdown that

281
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: they were doubling a Rondez on that. So just the

282
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: respect of a rookie. And yeah, you know, speaking speaking

283
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: a lad like a slow start to the year, we

284
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: have seen him come on in a big way the

285
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: last three weeks. And uh, this is the lab Ofcaukey

286
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: that I think everybody was envisioning week one on as

287
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: being kind of the dominant wide receiver one and he

288
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: was targeted ten times. Again, I found it. I found

289
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: it just interesting that Quintin wasn't targeted at all despite

290
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: being out there. And it just I think it goes

291
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: to show you that, uh, just the arsolo weapons money

292
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: that they have this year. If you look back exactly

293
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: a year ago middle of the year to what they

294
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: have around Justin right now from a pass catching perspective, it's.

295
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: Night and day.

296
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Julia, I'll let you take it. Like to me,

297
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: it just just reminiscent of what we saw Justin's rookie year, right.

298
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: Just doesn't matter who it is. If you're open, I'm

299
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: just gonna throw it to you. You know, whoever's open

300
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: is gonna get the ball. That's t Billy, if that's

301
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: Jalen gut And if that's Keenan Allen, if that's Mike Williams,

302
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: that's Hunter Henry just doesn't matter. And I think you

303
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: saw that in that game last night. They're blitzing. You

304
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: know that forty one point six percent blitz rate from

305
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: this the second most in the NFL. We know about

306
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: Brian Flores. He's gonna bring five and then he's gonna

307
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: bring six and it's gonna happen on Rundown's Gonnapp pass

308
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: and Herbert was just cutting him up. Let's find the

309
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: open man, Let's find him quick or I'm scrambling around

310
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: and whoever's gonna run the scramble drove, drill rip me,

311
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: I'll find him. And I think that's just essentially what

312
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: it was all night.

313
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you mentioned Lad Chris and so much of

314
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 5: last success comes out of the slot, and it was

315
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 5: so impressive that I think that touchdown was he was out,

316
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 5: he was on.

317
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: The outside right, and we talked about it.

318
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he reached that twenty miles almost twenty

319
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: one miles per hours, So he has the speed to take.

320
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 3: The top off. Yeah, and a lot of people like

321
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: to like to bunch him in the slot. So he's

322
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: a quick guy. No, he's fast. He can play in

323
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: the outside.

324
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 5: He can And that was again, so cool to the

325
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 5: former first round cornerback that he took the top off

326
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 5: and electrified the building with on that touchdown pass. But yeah, money,

327
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 5: you're you're on fire today, dude, just touching all the

328
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: points on. You know how Justin and has been blitzed

329
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: so many times and we know Flora's defense is gonna

330
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 5: blitz and you know the offensive line troubles and they've

331
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: probably seen that right in the film study was like,

332
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 5: we're going to bring the house and make these guys

333
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 5: pass off and make these guys overly communicating. And I

334
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: thought the offensive line did really good job of that.

335
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 5: Justin using that stiff arm, which has been a beast

336
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: of a attribute.

337
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: For him this year.

338
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 5: I mean, he's breaking ankles, he's lowering his shoulder to

339
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 5: get a first down, he's extending the ball over the

340
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: first down marker.

341
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: He really played like the quarterback we know Justin can be.

342
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: And his receivers.

343
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 5: We talked about it, right, We talked about maybe maybe

344
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 5: the beginning of this year, we said this is group

345
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 5: minus the running backs. And now if you had the

346
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 5: running backs, that's a different story. This is the most

347
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 5: weapons that Justin Herbert has had in his whole career

348
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: and there's only one ball, right and QJ didn't get targeted,

349
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 5: but there's only one ball and at the end of

350
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: the day, a win matters, and that's what the Chargers

351
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 5: came out with.

352
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm jumping real quick, Chris, because I was. I had

353
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: it on my board yesterday, so I wanted to pull

354
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: the note up. You mentioned out wide and this came

355
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: from our friends at NFL Pro when I was prepping

356
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: for the game. So I'm not off the camera. I

357
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: didn't realize that, but I'm trying to read it because

358
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: it's a very small fund it's on my board. So

359
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: lad last year slot alignment sixty five percent of his snaps.

360
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: This season he is out wide thirty four percent, So

361
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: that's a bump of about five percent. And on top

362
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: of that more efficient wide eleven to fourteen targets. This

363
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: is before yesterday, one hundred and ninety four plus forty

364
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: two yards over expected in the slot minus forty four

365
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: receiving yards over expected. So and I think a big

366
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: part of that too, Jalil, when I went and watched

367
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: the game before Chris, the Eagle game. Remember this is

368
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: a team that was lost lost in the passing game. Right,

369
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: you heard a AJ brownsman belly aching all season. Jalen

370
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Hurts isn't getting his guys the ball. And what did

371
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: you see in that game? You saw Aj and DeVante

372
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: out wide and they were roasting those dudes. And so

373
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: I think g Row probably saw and watched that. And yeah,

374
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: Couda's you know, I think at Kuda was the third

375
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. If I remember right that Herbert

376
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: went six. I believe he was right.

377
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 4: Wasn't he the third pick of that so the same

378
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: draft class?

379
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so that was a little Georgia versus

380
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: Ohio State, little Elmo Roasta, and I mean Lad busted

381
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: him up right off. He just got a shake on

382
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: his release and it was over. And as soon as

383
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: he saw that, Herbert saw that, bang see you later, man,

384
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: and Larry.

385
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 4: Bird stopped.

386
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: And then Ashake.

387
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly finished it with the Joe Walt Fortnight dance,

388
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, but he.

389
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: Just to piggyback off the kind of the blitz rate

390
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: in the Vikings and Floras and Herbert another staff from

391
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: NFL pro uh justin Herbert finished thirteen or fifteen for

392
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: a Bucks sixty two and two touchdowns and a pick

393
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: against the Vikings Blitz, his fourth most yards against the

394
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: Blitz in his career. The last time Herbert faced the

395
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: Vikings thirty two of thirty eight for three oh one

396
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 2: and three touchdowns against the Blitz. So I go back

397
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: to that. I remember seeing some of the stats and

398
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: key I think Keenan had like eighteen catches that game

399
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: or something ridiculous. And that was unfortunately game that might

400
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: got hurt. But you remember how desperate they needed that

401
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: win in Minnesota a few years ago, and just how

402
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: good Justin was against the Blitz and before he to

403
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: the defense. Just really touch on the running game a

404
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: little bit, because I thought Jared Patterson gave some valuable

405
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: carries in the first quarter, got three or four yards

406
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: of pop, just kept moving in a little bit. But Keimani,

407
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: I was just so impressed with. We saw him in

408
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 2: preseason Julio and we you know, I remember, I think

409
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: it was the New Orleans game where it was like, man,

410
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 2: Kimani looks good, and he looked good in the Hall

411
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 2: of Fame game too. Just to get the opportunity to

412
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 2: get out there. The last thing we expected was to

413
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 2: have naj and Omarian both down in Week eight and

414
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: money to see what Kimani was able to accomplish in

415
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 2: Miami and to keep it rolling. It was a tough

416
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: game for everybody against the Colts, but four days later

417
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: to be able to really contribute in the running game,

418
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: to compliment Justin, I thought he was awesome.

419
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, they couldn't run the ball against the Colts.

420
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: They were down twenty four to three, you know, so

421
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: it just became a we're gonna huck this thing around

422
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: and see if we can make up some ground. But

423
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: I think, look, shame on all of us, me included,

424
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: because here we are twenty minutes into the pod.

425
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, seventy six, let's talk about seventy six.

426
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we guess what you know, why lads out

427
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: there and why Justin scrambling around and why Rondez Gadsten

428
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: is catching all of his targets with it. Yeah, you

429
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: want to talk about a force multiplier? You Like, you

430
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: cannot have a more drastic difference in what we saw

431
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: out there last night than what we'd seen after Joe

432
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: Walt left the game against New York.

433
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 4: Like, it's just it's if.

434
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: You have if you if you were still holding on

435
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: man if you were still hanging on to that, we

436
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: should have taken Malik Neighbors thread. Just that's all you needed.

437
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: It's right there, man, everything he is dusting dudes on

438
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: those runs. I mean that that touchdown run or maybe

439
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't a touchdown was till it was obviously was

440
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: till the life, but it was in the red zone

441
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: I think. And man, he lifted and moved that dude

442
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: five yards and it just it changes everything. They're running

443
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: twenty two. Tucker, Fiscus and Ronde are both over there

444
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: with Bobby Hart and you've just got Alt on Alt

445
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: Island like, yeah, whatever, man, follow me, let's go have

446
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: some fun. And it was such a different deal, Julil, Yeah.

447
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 5: It was. And he made the whole offensive line better,

448
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 5: like just the communication, the confidence with Herbert knowing that

449
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 5: his blind size protected, Herbert looked just a lot more

450
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 5: comfortable in the pocket, right, and he was able to

451
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 5: go through his reach. He was able to go through

452
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 5: his progression. And then we talked about Keimani Vadell. Right, Hey,

453
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 5: we were I was on the podcast maybe three weeks

454
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 5: ago saying are we going to give the ball twenty

455
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 5: five times a combine? So shame on me, Chris, right,

456
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: because two two hundred yard games. This is somebody that

457
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: you got to respect. The guy that waited his turn

458
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 5: was behind two big time backs in front of him

459
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 5: who probably thought he would never see the day a light, right,

460
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 5: But it shows his professionalism, It shows the craft he's

461
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 5: been working on. His pass protection was amazing, his blocking

462
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 5: downfield was amazing, and then he ran behind his pads

463
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 5: And that's what I really liked about him and Patterson.

464
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 5: Very low center gravity guys. I would love to see

465
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 5: what the yackle yards were because after contact, they were driving,

466
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 5: drive and driving, and the marks of a good running

467
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 5: back is falling forward. But yeah, money Joe Alt was

468
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 5: the difference maker. The offense looked very, very complete, assertive

469
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: aggressive with aught back in the game. I seen him

470
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: get rolled up on that same angle that was taped up,

471
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: and that looked nasty.

472
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: He popped right back up.

473
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he popped right back up.

474
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 5: And that just exemplifies the toughness that he brings, and

475
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 5: he brings that to the whole offensive line of the

476
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 5: offense in general.

477
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, most of the offensive line.

478
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, if that's what he looks like in his first

479
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: game back, then I can only imagine what next week

480
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: against Tennessee and thereafter is gonna look like. Man to

481
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: make such an indelible impact on the game, you can't

482
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: say enough. And when you flip into defense, I think

483
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: another guy in that same vein.

484
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: Real quick, Chris, I just want to point.

485
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: I want to say this real quick because you mentioned

486
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: it Jalil, and I think it. It was the theme

487
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: the violence, you know, of the post game and fighting

488
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: through stuff. I just want to acknowledge Bobby Hart. You know,

489
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: Bobby took a shot early in that game too, his

490
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: knee got kind of buckled and it was right below

491
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: us where he spent the whole defensive series kind of

492
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: trying to walk something out and with no Jamari Sawyer

493
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: with Trey then wanting to keep him on ice, you know,

494
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: tip of the cap to Bobby. And I ain't gonna

495
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: lie since we're all shaming ourselves when they sign him.

496
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, we're doing, Bobby Art, this is what

497
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: we're doing. And he's been good man. Bobby's been like

498
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: what do we always say, just don't be a net negative?

499
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: Can you be a net neutral on the offensive line?

500
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: And I think he's been above the line. Of net neutral.

501
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, they're giving him a lot of help, and

502
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: that's what the return of ault does. But he had

503
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: a play where he got that knee knocked inside and

504
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: you could see him limping around. And the very next

505
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: play was the one where Justin was flushed and he

506
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: got tagged. I don't know if you remember it was

507
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: right sideline. It should have been a flag. I mean,

508
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: he got absolutely drilled, and freaking Bobby hart Man forgot

509
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: about his knee. He gets into a full sprint over

510
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: onto that Viking sideline and starts shoving some dudes and

511
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: getting to his quarterback. So along with all playing through it,

512
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: Man shout out to Bobby hart for certainly it looked

513
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: like he was dealing with something and knew how important

514
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: he was to that game and stayed in there.

515
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, their battle tested. Coach Harbough mentioned across

516
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: the offensive line, the last thing you want is to

517
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: go through like nine ten offensive linemen. But the fact

518
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 2: that Deculus has been in it and Bobby hart has

519
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: been in it now for a little bit during a

520
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: tough time, I think it leads you to believe that

521
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: maybe when it does get tough again, because it inevitably will.

522
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: So you know, we saw Mackay leave the game. We'll

523
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: learn more about what happened with him by the foster

524
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: Serell came in and did a nice job too. Had

525
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: to have guys that you're not expecting to do much

526
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: as a starter to then come in and start when

527
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: it gets tough in week fifteen, sixteen seventeen, you know

528
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: who you can count on. So yeah, good, good on you.

529
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: Money for mention to Bobby Hart. Listen, he hadn't started

530
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: a games Is twenty twenty one, hadn't been in games

531
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: Is twenty twenty two, so I think it was natural

532
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 2: for every to be like, Okay, is this gonna work out?

533
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 2: But maybe maybe the time off maybe it helps.

534
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: You know, time off.

535
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: There definitely some time off, and I think there's a

536
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: reason why he hadn't started a game since twenty twenty one.

537
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: You know, look, he had had a rough go, but again,

538
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: Nick Hardwick, Mike Devlin, Greg Roman, Jim Harbaugh, credit them man,

539
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: Joe alt Zion, all these dudes bos that are helping

540
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: him out was well, and most importantly, Tucker Fisk, you

541
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: know who pretty much was was riding in his hip

542
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: pocket the whole time, and Tucker had a great game,

543
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: I mean great game, played fantastic football. So I know

544
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: we got to get to the defense. I don't want

545
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: to leave them out because that was really the most

546
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: important part of this whole thing.

547
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: Without that, we.

548
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 5: Got to get you a Tucker Fish jersey money next episode,

549
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 5: a Tucker Fish, a.

550
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: Royal, A royal Tucker Fish.

551
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: Look.

552
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: Man, he he doesn't get any credit because although he

553
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: was open on that one play, man, it should have

554
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: been a quick throw to Tucker just held on to

555
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: it a little too long. I was like, oh, Tucker

556
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: Fish touchdown, and unfortunately Herb didn't see him before the

557
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: in the pocket collapsed right away. It was like a

558
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: six man blitz and it just didn't happen. But he's

559
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: just you know what I think with with Tucker when

560
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: you're what like, it was funny on that one Kamani

561
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: run on the second and eleven where he got to

562
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: the one yard line and it was supposed to be

563
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: a counter and Tucker executed it so perfectly. Man, you know,

564
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: was in motion, he whips seals this guy and he

565
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: looks back and he's like, where'd he go? And to

566
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: Comani's credit, he's like whatever, dude, I gonna an art

567
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: decided to crash, So I'm just gonna take this nine

568
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: yards over here.

569
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,080

578
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: at a crossroad Sunday. I mean it really was. I

579
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: mean the cold score on six of their first seven

580
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: possessions did not look like the jesse mentor defense that

581
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: we've seen for the first season and a half in

582
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 2: the Hardball administration. Right, So, a short week talking to

583
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: Touley and a Dafe in the locker room, just Khalil

584
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: Mack in his leadership and just kind of him, I guess,

585
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: in a lack of a better term, just kind of

586
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: down the wall like this is unacceptable. It's time to

587
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: get back to playing football the way we know how

588
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 2: and man they got after Carson Wentz to started with that,

589
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: and I think just the uptick in Max snaps and

590
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: just I think getting that bad taste out of your mouth,

591
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: Like Carson Wentz didn't have a chance. And you know

592
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 2: they you got guys like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Edison

593
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: on the outside. They didn't give Carson a chance to

594
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: even have a play develop. Right, we were talking about

595
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: before the podcast, guys like felt bad for Carson Wentz

596
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: in the second half. He was getting destroyed in that game.

597
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: You little it destroyed And and that's the telle of

598
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 5: the story. That's the story of the game. The trenches

599
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 5: on the offensive side and the defensive side just dominated

600
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 5: created a new line of scrimmages played in their backfield.

601
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 5: Carson Wentzon have time that he had no time to

602
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 5: let plays develop. I mean he was he was he

603
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 5: was looking at the rush. She wasn't even looking at

604
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 5: the routes going downfield. And rightfully so, every time it

605
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 5: came to a commercial break or they showed a replay,

606
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 5: he's Grimerson holding his shoulder. He's just contemplating life out there.

607
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 5: And the Chargers did a really good job of imposing

608
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 5: their will on him physically often early and often. And

609
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 5: the thing about it that was so impressive to me,

610
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 5: Durren James wasn't in that game, right, he was out

611
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: early on with an ankle.

612
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 3: He's a heartbeat of that team.

613
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 5: But just like Joe aut coming back having cleared back

614
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 5: the back for the second week, playing more snaps, they

615
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 5: have to slide the protection to him. So guys get

616
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 5: their one on ones and then you start to have

617
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 5: your one on one matchups, and when you have the

618
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 5: one to one matchups, then you can bring pressure in

619
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 5: these guys. Listen, the defense showed up and they looked

620
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 5: like the defense that we've known, like you said, Chris

621
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 5: for the last year and a half.

622
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know just again force multiplier, right,

623
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. You think about some of those run stops.

624
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I just got to I've had I got

625
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: so many windows open. That's why I keep looking the

626
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: other way. So, but you're talking about eleven carries for

627
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: thirty four yards, you know, I mean, and how about

628
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason four carries for three yards and two of

629
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: those were Xavier Scott in garbage time. So let's take

630
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: the two away for sixteen and you're essentially talking about

631
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: nine carries for eighteen yards in this game. That's that's

632
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: what they did to Aaron Jones say, look for people

633
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: that are saying, wow, you know you got Darra saw

634
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: out and Brian O'Neil are out.

635
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: Okay, who you talking to?

636
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: Talking to the Chargers who've been playing with Bobby Hart

637
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: and Austin Deculus and all of the fans that have

638
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: been upset have been saying, you know, what a disaster

639
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: it is, And well, yeah, that's what you're supposed to do.

640
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: That's what it's supposed to look like. When you got

641
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: Walter Rousse and Blake Brundle Brandell out there at tackle

642
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: and you got you know, Michael Jurgens in its center, like,

643
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: that's what it should look like. You should be able

644
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: to dominate. And I think for you know, for for Khalil,

645
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: you heard what the tone was all week long, man,

646
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's again, it's like, all right, this

647
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: guy's in his whatever it is, twelfth season, he's got

648
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: a freaking dislocated elbow, and he said, you're gonna have

649
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: to drag my freaking body off the field. It's time

650
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: we get right this week, and if you don't think

651
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: everybody on that defense is going to get in line

652
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: behind that, and and then on top of that, it's

653
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: not just saying it, it's doing it right. I mean,

654
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: you saw how he set the edge, you know, the

655
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: way he's just and and just opened up those run

656
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: fits for Denzel. That one hit he made when he

657
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: bounced off the dude he came back to make the tackle.

658
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean it could have been a loss of like

659
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: three or four, but it was just such it was

660
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: so funny.

661
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: Man.

662
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: He just sets the edge and here comes Paraman flying

663
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: in like he always does, and it's just like wow,

664
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, and just bodies everywhere. I was like, there

665
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: we go, Like that's what it's supposed to look like,

666
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm just cracking up up there. I'm like,

667
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm laughing again on defense.

668
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 4: This is fun.

669
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

670
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 5: DP having been DP back is just you see the difference, right,

671
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 5: you see the flow of down. He'll play from the

672
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 5: from the linebacker position, and that's what he does. I mean,

673
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call DP after this and tell him he's

674
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 5: to catch that pick.

675
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: He's out there.

676
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: Looking at that right looking like it.

677
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 5: I Mean, that's my guy, but he brings such a

678
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 5: different edge, such a different personality to the defense. And

679
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 5: when he's out, you can see it. He's back and

680
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 5: he allows day On to play freely. Right, he's playing downhill,

681
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 5: He's knocking guys off in the backfield. It just looked

682
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 5: like a really, really good, aggressive style defensive game that

683
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 5: the Chargers played.

684
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: You know, having all three of those guys to include

685
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 2: Troy died, just to have that trio at linebacker healthy

686
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: is a welcome sight. How About how about Tully making

687
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: a tackle with like that arm whipped? You remember that.

688
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: It was the stretch played going to the right and

689
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 5: Tully set the edge and the guy cut back and

690
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 5: he turned back with his left hand.

691
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: I was like, be.

692
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: Careful with your elbow, and he turned back with his

693
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 5: left hand and like smacked him in the head and

694
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: just stopped him like.

695
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: In his tracks. I'm surprised.

696
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 5: I'm not surprised you've seen it, but I thought I

697
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 5: was one of the only ones who caught that.

698
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, that's a heck of.

699
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: A play, Tully.

700
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: Sorry, Chris Tully another six pressures right, and coming into

701
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: that game, he was eighteen percent pressure rate, career high.

702
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: What do you have in this one? His pressure rate

703
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: in this game was way higher than that. Okay, so

704
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: there he goes pressu rate twenty seven point three percent

705
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: pressure rate. So you're talking about twenty two pass rushes

706
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: and on a quarter of those, basically on six of

707
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: those he's getting a pressure, you know, six of his

708
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven. And you just go down the line, Khalil

709
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: Mack twenty eight point six percent pressure rate. Where's oh way,

710
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: what did o Way have? Oh wait? Twenty percent pressure rate?

711
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: Those are just gargantuan to put that in perspective. This

712
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: year for the season, tu les at seventeen point six

713
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: and that's a career high and it's top ten in

714
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. So like, that's that's what we're talking about,

715
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, going twenty seven point three percent, and what

716
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: they were able to do with pressures and make and look,

717
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz he just he wasn't seeing it.

718
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 4: Man.

719
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: He was holding out of the ball forever and it

720
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: just he didn't He looked like, get me, he looked.

721
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: Like he was in the eleventh round with Canelo in

722
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: the second half. Like that's I felt bad for.

723
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 5: Him or Mike Tyson in the nineties he was not

724
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 5: trying to be out there at all. And that's listen,

725
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: the Chargers did what they had to do right, and

726
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 5: that's it's it's a it's a it's the NFL.

727
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 3: And you impose your will on your opponent.

728
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 5: And they smelt blood early and they didn't let their

729
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 5: foot off the gas and you got to win the

730
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 5: games that you're supposed to win, and they went up

731
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: there and did in a really good fashion.

732
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: And then like that's the thing like for the people

733
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: that are saying, oh well, Vikings, no tap, Like this

734
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: is a team that's been competitive, you know coming in,

735
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: This is this is a defense that I'm trying to

736
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: I want to pull it up and I'm doing this

737
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: far too much and making people wait while I'm trying

738
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: to get this thing going. But just like quickly to

739
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: point out and like when I was saying it, I

740
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: was like, man, why are they making us look so easy?

741
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: The third downs? They were four for four on that

742
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: opening drive like for the game. So like coming in,

743
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings are the Vikings defense is second against third downs,

744
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: only allowed thirty percent of third downs to be converted.

745
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: Fourth in the red zone forty seven percent. Coming in,

746
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: Chargers first in red zone TD percentage. Bang Dang Dang

747
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: Dang got them all, all of them except for the

748
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: ones you know where they had the penalties. But are

749
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: the Yeah, No, I think they got all. I think

750
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: I believe they had every Yeah, every single.

751
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: Red zone trips was on point.

752
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: And that's the number four red zone D, the number

753
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: two third down D and on third down we know,

754
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: like I said, I think they I don't know if

755
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: you have that box up because I went to the

756
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 1: Vikings page. But look, this is a team, like we said,

757
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: they could have beat the Eagles if Hawkinson holds onto

758
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: that ball. They beat the Browns, they lose to the

759
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: Steelers late twenty four to twenty one. They hammered the

760
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: Bengals forty eight to ten. Uh, they beat the Bears late. Like,

761
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: this is not a team that's getting blown out week

762
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: in and week out. It's one of the top defenses

763
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: across the board. I mean, top ten in points allowed,

764
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: eight in yards allowed, seventh against the pass, eighth against

765
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: uh scrimmage yards. You know, they got what sixteen sacks

766
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: on the season, eight forced fumbles. Right, that's a good unit.

767
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: That g and Herbert and that whole offense carved up

768
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: last night.

769
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: Made him look extraordinary.

770
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: Guys, two players. I want to mention on defense, just

771
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: to kind of hark you back to our point about

772
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: Joe and some of his picks. Like, you know, we

773
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 2: heard so much about Justin a boyd be this offseason

774
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 2: and the weight that he's put on and parasacks yesterday.

775
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: He's played a bunch and has played really well. And

776
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: you mentioned Darwin going out Jalil a big spot. When

777
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 2: you trade a Lowhi Gilman, you do r J. Mickens

778
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 2: was going to get some run. I think Tony left

779
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: this game for a little bit with a hamstring. But

780
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: to see Mickens get make a big play late in

781
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: the game as a safety, what did you see from

782
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 2: number twenty seven?

783
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 5: Just playing fast, playing fast? Looks like the game is

784
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 5: slowing down for him. I thought they would give him well,

785
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 5: we knew that wasn't a funer recovery for a touchdown,

786
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 5: but I love his effort. But just seeing him play fast.

787
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 5: We liked him throughout preseason. Really good tackler. He's communicating

788
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 5: back there. I'm watching the game. I'm watching. I'm watching

789
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 5: different from a fan. I'm watching, like, Hey, who's communicating

790
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 5: what are they saying?

791
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 3: What are they checking?

792
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 5: And he did a really good job back there, and

793
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 5: then to get his hands on the ball in a

794
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 5: primetime game and force a turnover, A really really good

795
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 5: job for the rookie who they have high hopes on.

796
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 5: Who me you Chris Money we talked about and raved

797
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 5: about in the preseason, and it's it's awesome to see

798
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 5: his hard work be exemplified and displayed on national TV.

799
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just quickly Chris go to a boy bee.

800
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: He watched the game on Sunday, and that was a

801
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: rough go, you know, And I'm sure he'd tell you

802
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: the same thing as a rough go for Justin in

803
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: that one. For whatever reason, it just wasn't lining up

804
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: for him. A lot of those runs were kind of

805
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: going right past him and stuff. And so to me,

806
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: I bring that up because I think you want to

807
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: talk about how the defense felt about that performance, how

808
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: they wanted to get rid of that thing and make

809
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: sure that's not who they are, that's not what we do.

810
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: And just to see him come out and perform, I mean,

811
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about a one hundred and eighty degrees difference

812
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: like there could not you watch a boyg Bee film

813
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: from Sunday and you watch a BOYG B film from

814
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: Thursday and they're like, that's not the same guy. There's

815
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: no there's no way. We were talking about it before

816
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: the game and I was having a conversation with someone

817
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: and they brought up Khalil Mack. They were like, man, Khalil,

818
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: I just I don't think I've ever saw it. I

819
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's okay. I don't I wonder what's going on?

820
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: Is he coming back too soon? And we talked about

821
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: how you can't read the numbers on the on the

822
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: jersey and I was like, I don't. I don't remember that.

823
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't remember watching that. I felt like Khaleili barely played,

824
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: but what I saw he was okay. And I was like,

825
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: I will say, though, you know ninety two was and

826
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: he's like, oh wait a minute, it was ninety two,

827
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: not fifty two.

828
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: And so you mentioned you had some you had some

829
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: number issues on Sunday, right, I.

830
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: Need I need new numbers. If you're going to keep

831
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: those things next year, you better put a thicker navy

832
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: border around those white numbers, because white on yellow is

833
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: no Winno Blancouyema Rio Bueno so but but I but again,

834
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not sounding too negative, but because to

835
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: me it's positive. It's like, hey, man, you had your

836
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: worst game of the year and then you bounce back

837
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: and you get two sacks in this game, and you're

838
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: in the backfield constantly and you're helping, you know, crush

839
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: those run lanes. So kudos to a boy bee for

840
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: bouncing back in a big way. I was talking to

841
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Neil last night and he was talking about film

842
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: sessions and I can't remember who this guy's name was,

843
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: Coach Straw. I think he said it was who it was.

844
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: He's like, man, I want to choke him out some

845
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: of those times. Man, he just look at me and

846
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: he'd be like, what are you doing here? You want

847
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: to apologize to LT because I would have been a touchdown.

848
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: You don't miss that. But I goes, you know a

849
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: boy be must have had. He goes watching justin out there.

850
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: He goes, I bet a boy be had one of

851
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: them sessions, man, where he was like, all right, I

852
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: can't choke you'll Mike Elston, but I'll show you. I'm

853
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna get out there and I'm gonna make sure I

854
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: make it. You know, I'm gonna make it right on

855
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: the field so I don't have to go through this again.

856
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 2: You know that's really just credit.

857
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you got it.

858
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say. We talked adjusted in the

859
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: locker room Sunday and to his credit, man, you know

860
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: you face the music. Uh, he said, bad performance all around.

861
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 2: We flush it, We move on. We got four more days.

862
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: And I think, kind of to a man it there

863
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: was nothing better than to play. I think on a

864
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: Thursday night. When you play like that on a Sunday, right,

865
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: and now you have a mini buy, you have the

866
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans coming up. Guys who are nicked up or

867
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: banged up have an extra few days to get ready

868
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: for that game. But that's that's funny, Jalil.

869
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 4: I want to give me your film story. Give it

870
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 4: to me.

871
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 5: Oh no, I've had I've had some of those. But

872
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 5: it's just more so like as the player, you you

873
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 5: just kind of.

874
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: Shit strenk in your chest.

875
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 5: You know those players are coming up that you you

876
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 5: watched over and over the night the night after the game,

877
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 5: or on the play home they're playing right home, and

878
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 5: you said it, Chris is just you can't wait to

879
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 5: get that taste out of your mouth, whether it's going

880
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 5: off to practice and having a good practice and having

881
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 5: good recks, because truly, as a player, your confidence comes

882
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 5: from practice, comes from preparation. And I'm pretty sure that

883
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 5: a boy we had a really good practice in the

884
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 5: films excuse me a week in the film room, and

885
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 5: he went out there on the grass and he did

886
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 5: the same thing and it showed up for him on Sunday.

887
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 5: But those film sessions are real, they're humbling. But it's

888
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 5: a competitive, competitive business, and you got to know that

889
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 5: the constructive criticism is coming good or bad, and you

890
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 5: got to take it with the grain of salt, and

891
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 5: you got to go out there and compete.

892
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: You can't soak too longer somebody else will be wearing

893
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 3: your jersey.

894
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but buddy, you know we've seen we've seen the

895
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 2: flashes from Justin throughout the year, and the fact that

896
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 2: we didn't see him at all last year, Like I

897
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: almost I almost feel like this is his rookie year

898
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 2: in a sense, right, Like you know, it's like you're developing,

899
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: you put on all this weight, and you know, you

900
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 2: see the flashes and I think you're going to have

901
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 2: some of that mixed bagh when you're kind of putting

902
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 2: NFL game tape together.

903
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I think you can make a case that

904
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: it's you know, I mean, look, Houston was bad, but

905
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: Houston was just bad the playoff game. On one side

906
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: of the ball. The offense just you know, the defense

907
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: played great in the first half, Like they're creating turnovers,

908
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: they're setting their offense up, They've got you know, CJ.

909
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: Stroud pinned deep and this fluke play happens, and they've

910
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: been on the field the entire freaking half and it

911
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: just kind of unraveled on them. But like, I just

912
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: think from you know, the Colts game could have been

913
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: one of the low points since Coach has been since

914
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: Coach has been here now for a year plus, and

915
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: I think last night was, if not the high, I

916
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: think it might have been the best game they've played.

917
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: I really believe that, Like, just in terms of executing

918
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: a game plan and taking advantage of what's put in

919
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: front of you. You can think about like forty to

920
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: three against New England and all that stuff last year,

921
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: But I just to me, the way how efficient they

922
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: were just seemed like every play that was supposed to

923
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: be made was made. Every coverage that was supposed to

924
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: be there was there. Like set in the edge was there,

925
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: plug and run, you know, the runfits were there. Like

926
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: everything was just was right, you know, and and when

927
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: you look at it, it's like, yeah, I mean there

928
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: was a point in the game when the Chargers had

929
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: twenty first downs and the Vikings had run twenty four plays.

930
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: There was that that moment existed in this game. That

931
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: is like how good the offense and defense were connected

932
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: together in this one because you look at at you know,

933
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: because of how it just sort of ended and the

934
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: way they were, you know, when they were up all

935
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: those twenty one points, they just kind of started handing

936
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: it off and just let's you know, we can just

937
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: punt and you know, hand this ball off run These

938
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: three minutes punt were fine, just get out of here.

939
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: Nobody else gets hurt. But so it's a little bit

940
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: out of whack. But you're talking about forty minutes to

941
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of possession, Like the leading tackler.

942
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: Was saint juiced with three tackles, right, because it's a

943
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: lot of it's just they didn't run a lot of plays.

944
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's like it was in every in

945
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: every phase. I mean you're talking about six yards per

946
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: play to three and a half. I mean the Vikings

947
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: had one more drive than the Chargers ten to nine,

948
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: and it's four hundred and nineteen to one hundred and

949
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: sixty four yards, and forty of those were on that

950
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: last drive. Like it's it was crazy, how how dominant

951
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: and complete a performance they put together. And right when

952
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: you got your mini buy, it's gonna be a nice

953
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: ten days. And then you're coming back against Tennessee. You know,

954
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: you get all this time off before you hit the road,

955
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: and you're gonna take on a Titans team that you

956
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: know is undernew leadership, and Mike McCoy has a first

957
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: number one overall pick that's searching for it. And so

958
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: I think it's could not have lined up better. You know,

959
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: flush that indie game in four days, and now we

960
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: got ten days to get healthy and to feel good

961
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: about this next little chunk of games, you know, with

962
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: with Tennessee Steelers and how that whole thing. And by

963
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: the way, this is our first time of back to

964
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: back home games, Like that's how crazy this schedule has

965
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: been the first one was in Brazil. Then you're in Vegas,

966
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: then you're home to Denver, then you're in Miami or

967
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: what Yeah, then you're home to the or then you're

968
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: in New York, then you're home, then you're back in

969
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, to wash it like it was just a mess.

970
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: So kind of get this nice chunk of time to

971
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: get healthy, get your mind right, and prep for this

972
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: push as you make your way to the buy in

973
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,000

988
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: the Titans next week, a mini buy, and I just

989
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 2: I look at the next four or five games, Juli.

990
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: You have the Titans, then you come home for Sunday

991
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 2: Night Football against the Steelers. Then you go back east

992
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 2: and take on the Jags. You know, we talk about

993
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 2: wildcard implications, especially with the Steelers and the Jags. Then

994
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: you have a buy and come back for the Raiders.

995
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: So you're five to three at this point critical month

996
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: before that buye uh, and you have your mini buy.

997
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 2: So you got Tennessee Pittsburgh, Jags, Raiders. You gotta win

998
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: at least three of those.

999
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to win at least through those, Chris,

1000
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 5: when you look at those and that's those games, that's

1001
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 5: what it looks like it should be, if not for

1002
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 5: at least three, Pittsburgh being the toughest opponent that they

1003
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 5: will fail over this face over this next month. But

1004
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 5: that with that being said, you know, like I know,

1005
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 5: you can't go out there and say, you know what,

1006
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 5: this team doesn't look good or they haven't won a

1007
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 5: game whatever, interim head coach and they have a rookie quarterback.

1008
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 5: If we just played the Dolphins and had a barn

1009
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 5: burner down there, right, So, and they're not doing too well.

1010
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 3: So every game in the NFL is very vital, is

1011
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 3: very pivotable.

1012
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 5: You have to go out there and prepare mentally, physically

1013
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 5: like it's the super Bowl. And it's very cliche. Everyone

1014
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 5: says the next game is the most important game because

1015
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 5: it's the next game, but it is right. You can't

1016
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 5: look down the road, you can't look past Tennessee and look, hey,

1017
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 5: we got Aaron Rodgers and the boys coming in town.

1018
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 5: You got to go to Tennessee and you got to

1019
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 5: take care business, just like they did last night against Minnesota, right,

1020
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 5: took care of business. A team that they are better than,

1021
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 5: they show that they were better than. And they need

1022
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 5: to do that over this course of the next month

1023
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 5: with these opponents that they're going to be facing.

1024
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 3: But they got to be feeling good going into a minute.

1025
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 5: By you get to prepare extra, you get to get

1026
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 5: your body back, you get to get like a little

1027
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 5: mental break, you know.

1028
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 3: From the from the monotonous of you know, the season.

1029
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 5: So I think they're in a really really good position

1030
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 5: and if they continue to do what they do as

1031
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 5: we know, they can we'll look up in a month

1032
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 5: and we'll be happy with the results.

1033
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: I think it's just, you know, it would have been

1034
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: nice to have a three in one month. I think

1035
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: if Joe Walt doesn't get hurt, they knock off the

1036
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: Giants and it's a three and one month maybe and

1037
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: you feel pretty good about where you're at. You know,

1038
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: your three and one second quarter, I should say, you know,

1039
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: or it's a four to oh first and maybe a

1040
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: two and two, you know, sort of, I don't know what.

1041
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 4: The hell I'm saying.

1042
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 2: I take five and with everything that's happened, though, you

1043
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 2: take five and three.

1044
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: Right now, right, I guess that's what I'm saying. Like

1045
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: when you think about the injuries and losing Slater before

1046
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: the season, and then losing Alt in week four, losing

1047
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack in week two, you know, losing Amari and

1048
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: Hampton in week five, and like, and here you are

1049
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: five and three, and if you just I believe, if

1050
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: you just replicate this first half of five and three,

1051
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: you're ten and six. So maybe you're eleven and six

1052
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: or maybe you're ten and seven, and you punch your

1053
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: ticket to the tournament. And to me, like when I

1054
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: look at it and I say, Okay, where can we

1055
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 1: find five more wins in here? I feel like you can.

1056
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable saying that. And it's and it's very

1057
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: similar to the Dodgers, right you think about can we

1058
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: just keep our head above water? We know what we know,

1059
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: where we want to be and how we want to

1060
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: be when we get to that point. And that's what

1061
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm looking at with this team. You know, when you

1062
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: get to the final few weeks of the season and

1063
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: you get to the tournament. Alt's going to be healthy,

1064
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: Marian Hampton's going to be back, Like all of these

1065
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be healthy, and so like that's or

1066
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you never know. In football, it's completely different

1067
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: than baseball. But the point being, like these dudes are

1068
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: coming back. You know all of these guys. Alt is

1069
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: now back, Trey Pipkin's gonna be back. You know, he

1070
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: played a couple snaps out there. Now you're gonna get

1071
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: your tackles back. You know you're going to get I

1072
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: don't know, I can't project what if Makai Beckton's gonna

1073
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: be healthy or not. I don't know game to game,

1074
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: but having Amari and Hampton out there like, you know,

1075
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: Derwin said it's a low ankle. You know, Shannon reported

1076
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: from down on the sideline that he was just kind

1077
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 1: of telling his guys, I'm fine. I'm good, man, I'm good.

1078
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 1: So like all that stuff is going to be in line.

1079
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully Dane feels better, kind of like the

1080
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: Mookie thing. Right, he was sick in Japan. He's got

1081
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: this weird four months if it's just not right and

1082
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: then bang it happens. I think same thing with Dayan, Right,

1083
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: he loses all this weight, he's got this weird thing

1084
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: going on, and he'll be back. And like, I just

1085
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: feel like, that's what they gotta do. You can you

1086
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: replicate five and three and everyone's healthy, and we know

1087
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: what it looked like, man, because it looked like three

1088
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 1: and oh against the Chiefs Broncos Raiders at the start

1089
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: of the season. You know, that's what it looked like.

1090
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: And I just feel like, can you get to that

1091
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: point where these guys are healthy enough? Because I feel

1092
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: good about sending this team healthy out on the field

1093
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: with anyone in the league.

1094
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 3: For sure, especially how Harber's playing on him.

1095
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Jalil. I look at the next four games

1096
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 2: and the fact that they're AFC opponents. You already four

1097
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 2: in one the AFC. Like you could look at the

1098
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: playoff standings right now and just the bottom half of

1099
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: the AFC is really really bad right now, Like the

1100
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 2: teams that have are already eliminated for playoff contention to

1101
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: have the Titans, the Steelers, the Jags, and the Raiders.

1102
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: You're already for one in the AFC. I mean, what

1103
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 2: an opportunity for the month of November to you know,

1104
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 2: maybe get to potentially eight and one in the conference.

1105
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 2: You have tie breakers over everybody if you don't win

1106
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 2: the division. So I do look at November. You know,

1107
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 2: we always talking about December football and how how it

1108
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: gets real, but like I mean November for this team

1109
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 2: with kind of where they are in the pecking gord

1110
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:45,720
Speaker 2: in the AFC, I think it's huge.

1111
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's big because you'll get to December and you'll

1112
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 5: look back and be like, man, only if we.

1113
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 3: Could have should have wader in November.

1114
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 5: Right, So, like, just going off the same theme of

1115
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 5: this game is important because it's the next one and

1116
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 5: they all matter. We obviously know that December is when

1117
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 5: you got to be playing your best football and doing

1118
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 5: the coaching internship with Harball. He would always talk about

1119
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 5: a plane in a runway and just says, hey, we

1120
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 5: want to be on the runway right now. We want

1121
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 5: to be on the runway, and then we'll slowly start

1122
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 5: to slowly start to get our nose in the air,

1123
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 5: and then we'll take off at the right time. And

1124
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 5: that's exactly what money is talking about, right, taking off

1125
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 5: at the right time when guys get back healthy, right

1126
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 5: when we get those guys who are very very important

1127
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 5: pieces of this team back out on the field, will

1128
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 5: be about the right time.

1129
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 3: But you have to keep your head water, you have

1130
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 3: to thread water, and you have to.

1131
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 5: Take care of these next four games in this month,

1132
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 5: which are very very doable if they go about it

1133
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 5: the right way, if they go about it professionally and

1134
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 5: they keep their head steadying down and continue to grind.

1135
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 5: I think we'll look up at the beginning of the

1136
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 5: December like, hey, we had a really good month in November.

1137
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 3: Let's continue to get it cracking.

1138
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 4: Man.

1139
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: I think, you know, can you get it to look

1140
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: like it did against the Vikings against the Titans. You know,

1141
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 1: a team that's got one win, and that one win

1142
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: came thanks to just some wacky stuff happening in that

1143
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: Arizona game. Otherwise they so thank you Arizona. So it's

1144
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: not a winless team but for letting them get that

1145
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: one win. But I think that's you know, number one,

1146
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: Can you can you dominate a team that has been

1147
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: dominated regularly this season? Get some guys some rest because

1148
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: you got Pittsburgh. Man, I know they they lost that

1149
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: game that Cincinnati and they're four and two now and

1150
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: they've had some weird games the one they should have

1151
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: probably lost to the Jets, but it was handed to

1152
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: them kind of thing. But we know what that defense is, man.

1153
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: That defense will punch you in the mouth. So I

1154
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: think if you can get if you can get up

1155
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: big on telegas. Instead of just kind of looking at

1156
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: that chunk of of you know, the Tennessee Pittsburgh Jacksonville

1157
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 1: by Raiders sort of thing, I kind of look at

1158
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: it as those those two there, you know, can you

1159
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: can you get to Tennessee? Can you get out of

1160
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: there without Jeffrey Simmons wrecking the game on the interior

1161
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: of that line and getting in Herbert's lap too often

1162
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: because he can he can put a beating on you

1163
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 1: as well. So and can you get a big lead

1164
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: and try to get some guys, you know, a couple

1165
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: reps off, a series or two off if you can,

1166
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: if you can dominate that game like it did on

1167
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Vikings and prep for you know,

1168
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: a Steelers defense, that's no joke, man, I know that.

1169
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: I know Joe Flacco, you know, had a heck of

1170
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: a game and it was fun to watch, for sure.

1171
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 4: But I think.

1172
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: It's it's still that's still man her big and Watt

1173
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: and Highsmith like that thing is nasty.

1174
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 4: Man. They can do some damage.

1175
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 2: Was Jamar Chase targeted seventy three times in that game?

1176
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 4: Was it?

1177
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 2: I think it was. I literally generally think it was

1178
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:30,760
Speaker 2: twenty three times.

1179
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 4: He was targeted.

1180
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 2: Wild man play the hits, yeah, no doubt.

1181
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

1182
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: The Chargers not overlook the today. The Charge already lost

1183
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 2: to a rookie quarterback on the road this year. Yeah,

1184
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 2: it's already happened, right, So that week four is all

1185
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 2: you have to do. Put fire that tape up and

1186
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: get motivated for the Tennessee Titans. Because listen, Kim Ward

1187
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 2: number one overall pick, it has not looked good. I

1188
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 2: don't know how they won that Cardinals game. But those

1189
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: are the types of games you have to you have

1190
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 2: to take care of and not kind of look at

1191
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh, take keep your eye on the prize in Tennessee.

1192
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: And like you said, Money, the Steelers, you got those

1193
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: edge rushers, Aaron Rodgers play really good this year. You

1194
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 2: know he's he's having a really good year and have

1195
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 2: weapons on the outside you're don't have to account for.

1196
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 2: But like where this team is at, you take five

1197
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: and three, especially with three of those five wins coming

1198
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: in the division, the other one coming in the AFC,

1199
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: and to withstand the injuries, Like you look around the

1200
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 2: NFL guys, man, like everybody's injured, the Niners, the Ravens,

1201
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 2: the command everybody's really really beat up. And the Chargers

1202
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: are in that conversation, is one of the more beat

1203
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: up teams in the league. But Money, to your point,

1204
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna slowly start to get these guys back. We've

1205
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 2: already started to see it with Khalil and Joe and

1206
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 2: Denzel getting a Marion back. In seeing what Kimani has done,

1207
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 2: I think Kimani has showed that he can maybe kind

1208
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 2: of be the the one a to Marion when he

1209
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: when he returns, and who knows what Joe Ortiz may

1210
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 2: do in the next few weeks with the trade.

1211
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and I'll just out finished with this, Chris,

1212
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: because even before Tennessee, you know, let's go Marcus Mariota,

1213
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: Let's go Cowboys. You know, how about them cowboys. Get

1214
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: them cowboys to beat up on Patrick Mahomes and the

1215
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs or I'm sorry, on the Broncos. It's Mariota versus

1216
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. It's the Commanders, Commander's Chiefs, Cowboys Broncos. Hey, look, man,

1217
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 1: that Cowboys offense is no joke. That thing is no joke.

1218
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: Defense he can, but but offense can put on you.

1219
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: And I think we saw, you know, if they can

1220
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: get it going against this Broncos defense, we've seen the

1221
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: Broncos offense is still kind of searching. So let's let's

1222
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: go Cowboys, Let's go Commanders, and uh, let's get the

1223
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: Chargers back on top of that AFC west Man with

1224
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: a win already in their pocket.

1225
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 3: How about Russell Wilson, He's like, I'm tired of it.

1226
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 3: I'm tired of it. I love it.

1227
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: You ain't gonna bait me Chris, I know what you know,

1228
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: you know what you're doing. Get me take a shot

1229
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: at Sean Payton. I've already done it too many times.

1230
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: That's right, let's ridet let.

1231
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: There is not there's not a side to pick in

1232
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,439
