1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Late fifteen to ten touched up. What's up? Guys, Welcome

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly, as always,

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: joined by Matt money Smith. We're going to be out

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: at training camp next week in person, so Money, this

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: is our last one over the computer, I guess for

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: maybe the foreseeable future, which is a good thing.

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: How dare you that may not be the case the

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: way Jim Harbi is this thing running for people that

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: have paid attention. Some of his practices are at nine am,

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: some of his practices are at five pm.

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: We got to conform, We got to conform Money.

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: Well, unfortunately, the Petros and Money Show conforms for nobody,

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: not even you, Coach Harbaugh, and obviously you have some

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: CBS duties as well. But hopefully the way it lays

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: out between a Wednesday or a Thursday, or maybe even

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: a Tuesday or Friday, however we do it, we certainly

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: want to be out there and I know for the people. Yeah,

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: so this works out perfectly. We're going to be out

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: there next Wednesday, Chris, and that practice is open to

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: the public, so we'll be able to see a lot

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 2: of the fans. Those that got the tickets limited tickets

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: that were available. Can't wait to see all of you

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: and kick this thing off and get ready for the

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four campaign.

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Can't wait for it. We got a lot of questions

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: money that will dive into, but let's just go quickly

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: back to last week and just the interview with Ben

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Herbert Man. We got a lot of love from that episode.

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: Any of the takeaways from that now that you had

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: a week to kind of digest it, it was a

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: fascinating conversation.

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's great. He's great, And I've said it before.

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: I think it speaks to the confidence that coach Harbaugh

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: has in himself that he's totally fine with his assistance

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: taking part in the media. He actually prefers they do

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: it more than him. So that's great for us because

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: there are a lot of fascinating that the NFL is

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: a fascinating place, and coaches have stories and experiences that

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: we love to share selfishly, you know, have them share

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 2: with us, but also for you the people listening. So

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: that is not going to be the last assistant coach

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: or part of the staff, I should say, that's not

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: going to be the last part of the staff that

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: you hear from on the Chargers Weekly podcast. We've already

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: kind of put out some feelers for a couple other

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: guys that we think would be great interviews and great

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: to share insight and stories with you, So keep an

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: eye out and an ear out for that if you're

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: watching on youtubeer listening on the podcast, certainly there'll be

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: more of that coming. And that's really cool because there

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: are head coaches that do not want their coordinators and

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: their assistants talking. They're just not comfortable with what might

53
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: come out of their mouth. And coach our boys totally

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: fine with any of his guys talking, so that's great

55
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: for us.

56
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: We've heard from almost everybody throughout the off season, so

57
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: to get those those deeper conversations into training camp is

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: going to be fun. And I was at the Bolt

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday, a couple of days after we were just

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: for the open house and to see the fans reaction

61
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: to it was really fun just to go through the

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: I think it was about a ten to fifteen minutes

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: tour for fans. They got to go through the locker room,

64
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: see the weight room, and it kind of leads to

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: our first question money from from less.

66
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: Q and A Today, I'll just yeah, Q and a today.

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: Let's go.

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get right to it. If you were a

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: player on the Chargers money, what part of the new

70
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: facility would you be most excited for?

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think probably the locker room, right, That's where

72
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna spend your most time. It's beautiful locker room,

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: big old, big old locker stalls, cool little common area

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: with couches and ping pong tables and TVs and video games.

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: That's their sanctuary. That is where they go and no

76
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: one else is allowed to go in there unless it

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: is a designated time where you're allowed to go in there. So,

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: you know, compared to what they had last year, you know,

79
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: with the way that the locker you know, the last

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: I should say, seven years at the temporary facility, compared

81
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: to now, I would assume that. And also just the

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: large cafeteria. That was one of the serious limitations. It

83
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: wasn't the quality of food, it was that there was

84
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: really no cafeteria. There was no place to congregate. And

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: when you look at the new calf there's a ton

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: of common areas, whether it's inside if it's too hot

87
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: outside outside they got that really cool turf you know

88
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: for the walk through practices. They got balconies, so I

89
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: think it's more of all the things. Yeah, that's what's

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: the most right. So it's a player's game, so that's

91
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: the most important thing. And it's great to see them

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: get upgrades and get a ton of space to be

93
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: comfortable and bond and create some chemistry with one another.

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, all great spaces. I think the bolt entirely just

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: it feels like a home anyway. It's like every part

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: of it is comfortable. I was. I would say the

97
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: weight room just to give a different answer, because it's gigantic.

98
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: That's where you get better and if you have a

99
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: space that is impeccable, and it just it lends to

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: wanting to get better every day, the fact that this

101
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: is your home, Like you get that into our outdoor space.

102
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: You got Coach Herbert in there. So the weight room too,

103
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean compared to the weight room and coach to basis,

104
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the size of it is, it's unbelievable, right.

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: And i'd add look selfishly, well not selfishly, just personally,

106
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: I should say. We brought this up with with Coach

107
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: Herb the pool man. Get those guys in the pool,

108
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: reduce the load on their joints and get them in

109
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: the pool and get them working. They got an Olympic

110
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: length two lane pool. And by the way, not only

111
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: is it for working out, but Josh told us that. Yeah,

112
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, we're gonna I don't know if it's

113
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: a trigger, if it's a big green egg, if it's

114
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: a Weber Genesis or what they're going to wheel out there.

115
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: He's like, Yeah, we have a fire pit out here.

116
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna have barbecues. And it's also if the players

117
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: want they just say, let's go and we'll we'll be

118
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: out here for them, you know. If they just want

119
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: to kind of put their feet in the pool and

120
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: fire up the fire pit and have a little barbecue

121
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 2: and stuff out here, that's that's also going to be

122
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: available to them. So that's cool little area there. But

123
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: I you know me, I'm a big believer in the water,

124
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: and I think it goes a long way. If you know,

125
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of facilities out there that have

126
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: that type of pool available to them. If you can

127
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: start getting these guys in the water and feeling comfortable,

128
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: you know, moving back and forth, I think that goes

129
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: a long way and builds a completely different type of

130
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: muscle and strength that a lot of guys don't have,

131
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: most people don't have.

132
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to wrap my head around Coach Rubert

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: saying that he kicks it in the cold plunge ten

134
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes. It's just weird timing, Buddy. I did

135
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: it for the first time the week before the interview,

136
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: and I couldn't It was a minute.

137
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: It's like a minute.

138
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: I was like, this is not going to happen.

139
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: This is a second. Yeah, I've said it the first time.

140
00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: First time.

141
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, my buddy Rob runs Santa Barbara Ice Bath Company.

142
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: So as I've put the videos up on Instagram, I've

143
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: been up to his place. He's got one at his house.

144
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: I'll hop in there. And thirty nine is just a

145
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: different deal. If you work your way down to that,

146
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: that's the thing. People that drop your right into thirty nine.

147
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: It's not fair. You know, hop into a forty five

148
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: or something like that, and you can get through it,

149
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: like he says, you numb out and you can kind

150
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: of settle in. But yeah, fifteen minutes is just lunacy.

151
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: It's lunacy. It's great.

152
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: This is from Griffin. A lot of the talk about

153
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: Jesse Mitter sounds a lot like to talk about Brandon

154
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Stanley twenty twenty one, a new age defense, the next

155
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: great defensive mind other than coach hardball being head coach.

156
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: Why should we believe in Jesse Mitter to turn around

157
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: the defense? Well, I would start with this Griffin. Proof

158
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: is in the pudding from what he did in Michigan.

159
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: And this is a guy who not only has coached

160
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: in college, but he coached for the Ravens. He was

161
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: a secondary coach, so he knows this system. And I

162
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: think that's enough set. I mean, you look at you

163
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: look at what the Ravens have been able to do

164
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: over the last couple of decades, and just the hallmark

165
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: has been defense. He comes from that system. What he

166
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: did at Michigan was unbelievable with guys who are three

167
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: four star guys. You know you're not You're not getting

168
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: a ton of the five star guys coming to Michigan.

169
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: So uh, I think the x's and o's in catering

170
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: to the personnel. Obviously all this remains to be seen,

171
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: but you know, I think Jesse Mitter's resume is is

172
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: pretty darn impressive. Money.

173
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's it's even comparable, no offense to

174
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: to coach Sale. I'm not trying to take a shot

175
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: at him. He coordinated a defense for one year. You know,

176
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: he was the coordinate and he coordinated a defense with

177
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: the best defensive player we've seen in the NFL in

178
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: the last twenty years at the center of it, and

179
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: a defense that was stacked that that the you know,

180
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: that Rams defense. It wasn't just Aaron Donald, but it

181
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: was Leonard Floyd and I want to saint Jayleen Ram

182
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: was on that. So you know, and again it was

183
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: one year. And the last thing I want this to

184
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: sound like is taking a shot at coach Staley. It's not.

185
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: But prior to that, you know, it was Vic Fangio's

186
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: defense in Denver. He didn't have to call it, he

187
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: didn't have to set it, he didn't have to you know,

188
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: make the rules for it. He was coaching outside linebackers Chicago.

189
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: He's coaching linebackers. You know, it's a different deal for

190
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: Jesse Minner. And I was trying to That's why for

191
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: those that are watching YouTube, I'm not not paying attention.

192
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: I was just trying to find the history and for

193
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: some reason, our lads won't let me go back. But

194
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: with coach min Or, I think it's important to point out, Yeah,

195
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: he did it with Quitty Pay, and he did it

196
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: with Aiden Hutchinson. But last year he had nothing on

197
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: that defensive line. So and they won a national championship

198
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: and they were the best defense, you know, one of

199
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: the three best defenses in college football. So he's done

200
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: it both ways. He's done it with Blue Chippers and

201
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 2: he's helped make it Aiden the the number two pick

202
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: should have been the number one pick in the draft.

203
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: And he's had David Achabo, and he's had Quity Pay,

204
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: and he's had these guys. Go and Mazzie who went

205
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: to that I think he was interior line. That was

206
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: two years ago maybe, So he's had these guys and

207
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: that's to me, what's encouraging is when he's got dudes,

208
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: the dudes flash and they they play to an all

209
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: American level. When he doesn't have dudes, the the you know,

210
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: the collective raises up and plays well. So to me,

211
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: that's adaptability. Whatever he has. You know, I think about

212
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: Coach Staley had Khalil Mack in his prime, had Rokwan Smith.

213
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: You know, these are in these again, this a Vic

214
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: Fangio defense in in Chicago. In Denver, you're talking about

215
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: the best secondary in football, had a defensive line that

216
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: had Von Miller and like so. And then he gets

217
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: to the Rams and it's Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd

218
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: and Jalen Ramsey and the list goes on and on,

219
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: and so he comes to Los Angeles and he and

220
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: Tom to you know, he tells Tom, I need these

221
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: guys and he gives them a lift to these guys

222
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: that he needs to get the defense right, and they

223
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: just a weren't the right guys and b the defense

224
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: was never right. So for me, that's what's most encouraging

225
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: about coach Minter is whatever he's been presented with, it

226
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: excels the whole can be greater than the sum of

227
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: the parts, or the individuals can excel and raise the

228
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: collective with their dominant individual performance. And it'll be interesting

229
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: to see, you know, how that applies here with individuals

230
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: like Derwin James and Joey bosen Khalil Mack and at

231
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: the same time needing that collective as well to be

232
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: lifted up because of some of the holes and some

233
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: of the new faces that he's going to try to

234
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: plug in and get to win.

235
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: The word adaptability you just said is the thing that

236
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: I think I gravitate towards because last year he did

237
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: have he didn't have guys on the edge, but he

238
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: made it work with the guys on the interior. Like

239
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Mason Graham from Servite here locally right, he was He

240
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: was the best player at the Rose Bowl. He made

241
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: the biggest play in the game at the end. Chris Jenkins,

242
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: who you know, was an early round pick this year,

243
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: so he realized what the strength of the Michigan team

244
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: was last year. And we've been talking about this for

245
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of months. When you bring Joey and

246
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: Khalil back and you had Bud Dupree and you see

247
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: what Tuley did his rookie year, Like, we know what

248
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: the strength of this Chargers defense is going to be.

249
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be getting after the passer, making life

250
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: a little bit easier for the secondary. And I'm very

251
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: bullish on what or what he does with these guys.

252
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: I've been seeing these these videos of Darwin James working out,

253
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: and you know, you see it every year, but it

254
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: just gets you hyped. Man, He's a beast he's a

255
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: different He's just a different dude. And if if Jesse

256
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: can can maximize Derwin's potential back there, have him maybe

257
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: do a little bit less, take a little bit less

258
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: off his plate, and like you said, matchup specific roles

259
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: throughout the year where you're not doing a million different things.

260
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 2: And you know, you mentioned Mason Graham and that's what

261
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: I was just doing, digging because I was like, I'm

262
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: pretty sure and he's twenty years old. Last year, Yeah,

263
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: he's a he was a three star, maybe a two star.

264
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: Like that's the thing to like the fact. And I

265
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: don't I keep putting all of these qualifiers in and

266
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't mean to, but I just want to make

267
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: sure that people understand I'm not this isn't a shot.

268
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: The amount of Michigan players that made their way to

269
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: the NFL and the draft is crazy. Like when you

270
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: just look at them individually, they're measureable money early. That's

271
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like to put those guys in the

272
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: league that early is it's impressive. It speaks to development.

273
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: And there's a number of players on this defense that

274
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: he's got to develop, right, You've got to develop Tarhee. Still,

275
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: you've got to develop John Taylor. You've got to develop

276
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: j T. Woods develop, continued to develop Daone, Henley developed

277
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: Scott Matt Locke. These are young guys, and Mason Graham

278
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 2: went to survite his dream school was UCLA. Couldn't even

279
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: get an offer from Chip Kelly yet Coach Harbaugh and

280
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: Mentor are like, that's our guy, go get on over Yeah,

281
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: and ends up, you know, as a national champion, like

282
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: you said, dominating Alabama and the Rose Bowl, and that's

283
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: that's what he can do. So yeah, I want to

284
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: answer that question. But no that I don't think there

285
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: is any comparison between Minor and Staley, and.

286
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: He's already got a hit start on developing Junior Colson,

287
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: who were expecting a lot out of come up at

288
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Yeah, this is from the guys, the

289
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: guiltiest charged. Who is one player that would present the

290
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: biggest swing for the Charger season in your eyes, can

291
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: be a positive swing or a negative swing in the

292
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: win loss column. One player.

293
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: Oh man, there's a million.

294
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: It's a good question.

295
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: A lot is you get you want to start, let

296
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: me kind of get my head or that way you

297
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: can maybe take one of the options away from me.

298
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: If you know someone, if you already have it figured out,

299
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: who you.

300
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Got, I'll say Trey Pipkins. I think if Trey Pipkins

301
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: can excel at right guard, and you know the confidence

302
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: that I think Jim Harball and and Greg Roman have

303
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: shown in him early, if he can solidify that right

304
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: guard spot and let Joe Alt just be the stalwart

305
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: on the right side, then you're talking about a line

306
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: that can do exactly what they're gonna set out to do,

307
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: run the football, protect justin Herbert. So I think that

308
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: right guard spot, I think Zion is gonna have a

309
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: good year. I think Bradley Boseman's a veteran who who

310
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: has done this before, who's familiar with what Greg Roman

311
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: wants to do. But that right guard spot just the

312
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: depth of the offensive line, because you're gonna have to

313
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: have depth throughout a seventeen game season to be successful.

314
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: So if Trey Pipkins can play really well at right guard,

315
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: then I think think this offensive lie is gonna be

316
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: a really good shape and it's going to kind of

317
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: set things up for this offense.

318
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: That's my guy. Yeah, you could have picked anybody on

319
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: that offensive line not named Rashaun Slater right, because Zion

320
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: needs a bounce back here. Bozeman has been has been

321
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: really good and run blocking has been pretty suspect and

322
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: pass blocking So.

323
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Because it's a completely different position.

324
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: For me, yeah, I think it's like I said, you

325
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: can take any of those. Trey I think leads the

326
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: way though you're spot on. You're gonna have to throw

327
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: the ball, so you can. I got no problem picking

328
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: Josh Palmer as can you step into that number one role.

329
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: We've seen you do it on a game to game basis.

330
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: Can you do it through the course of the season

331
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: and stay healthy so we can have a balanced offense.

332
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: I think we'll Disley, believe it or not, could be

333
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: the guy that you could mention because of the just

334
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: the lack of ability to block at the tight end

335
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: position has destroyed plays snap in and snap out where

336
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: you need to run a four minute drill and the

337
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: Chargers couldn't and they would just see wins turned the

338
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: losses repeatedly. He's won. So after working through all of that,

339
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with a big name. It's Joey Bosa.

340
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 2: If you can give Jesse Minner a if you can

341
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: get hit, if Joey Bosa is Joey the one that

342
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: we know he can be where he can he can

343
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: be the best all around defensive lineman in the league.

344
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: And that's what he's capable of. The way he plays

345
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: the run, the way he attacks the pass. And now

346
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: you've got to double team him on every single snap

347
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: and you've got Bud Dupree and Tuley and Khalil Mack.

348
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: To me, that changes everything for the defense. If he

349
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: returns to his dominant self, That's what I'm talking about.

350
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 2: If he's playing fifteen of the seventeen games and he

351
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: is playing it at the level we believe he can,

352
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 2: you know he is capable with the level that we

353
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: know he can play at, that to me changes everything.

354
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: It changes everything. So that's that's probably the one. I

355
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: just have faith in, justin Herbert and coach Harbaugh and

356
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: Greg Roman and that triumph for it. I have faith

357
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: in that that they're going to have an identity. It

358
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: may not look like what we're used to seeing it

359
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: look like, but I just have faith that they're going

360
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: to figure it out. It's one thing that Harbaugh's always

361
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: been great at. It's just winning. It's not he knows

362
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: how to attack an opponent and win, and so whatever

363
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: it's got to look like is what it's going to

364
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: look like. And Herbert said it in his presser, right,

365
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: I might throw it fifty times one week, I might

366
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: throw it fifteen the next and he to me, that

367
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: was him alluding to seeing it sort of how I'm

368
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: describing it as well, Like, I believe in these guys, man,

369
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: they're going to come up with a game plan that

370
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: we're going to go into that Raider game week one,

371
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: and in Week two against the Panthers, it may look

372
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: completely different, but I've got full faith that it's the

373
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 2: right plan and we're gonna execute it and we're gonna

374
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: win games. So to me, I'm gonna go defensive side

375
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: of the ball and Joey.

376
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: That's the right call, that's the better call, because because

377
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: Joey's impact throughout the course of a seventeen game season,

378
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: we just haven't seen it. And when we do see it, man, it's,

379
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, change the effect. Just the fact that Khalil

380
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: has played every game the last couple of years and

381
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Joey. It's been a it's been tough,

382
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: it's been tough to digest, but if Joey can play

383
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: like you said fifteen games, man, it changes everything.

384
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: It makes a second and you're running Joey tu Lee,

385
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 2: pick a player, Poona or Matt Locke or Morgan and

386
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: Khalil or Bud Dupree. That's your front and Joey's dominating.

387
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, I mean, come on.

388
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: The offensive line is the one thing that that Harball

389
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: has preached and said, Hey, it's five guys, it's a unit.

390
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: And I just I do wonder what Pipkins can be

391
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: right guard. It could be really it could be really

392
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: successful for him, you know, and if he's somewhere else

393
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: next year making a lot of money, is a right guard?

394
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: Great?

395
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: If hopefully he's here, but you still have Sawyer, you

396
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: still have McFadden. So they do have to develop the

397
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: depth behind this O line and seeing Pipkins out there

398
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: with the ones as guard is going to be one

399
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: of the fun storylines coming into into camp here. Let's see.

400
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: This is from Joseph. Hey, guys, love the weekly content.

401
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: You guys are great. Question I'm debating on taking the

402
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 1: over on Herbert's line for season passing touchdowns twenty one

403
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: and a half. What do you think it's going to

404
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: look like thanks for bolt up. Well, we're we're not

405
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: going to give a gambling advice. But what do you

406
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: think justin.

407
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: You're just asking me? How many touchdowns do I think

408
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: Herbert's gonna throw this year? Yeah, twenty two seems low.

409
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: I'll say that, twenty two seems low.

410
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna throw. I think he's gonna throw

411
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: a lot more than people are expecting. Money.

412
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking of who's you know, Chark's gonna get

413
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: a couple, You're gonna get a couple, take the top off.

414
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: The's got the arm Herbert's got, and the play action

415
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: is going to work if we believe in the run game,

416
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: play action is gonna work. And when play action works,

417
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: and you've got a stutter step, and you've got McConkey

418
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: with four three speed and Chart with four to three speed,

419
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: and we know Josh Palmer's been able to get those

420
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: explosives as well. To me, there's there's a handful of

421
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: those out there this year. With the running backs having

422
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: a power back that can that can score from the

423
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: how many times do we see this team get stuffed

424
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 2: at the goal line and have to settle for field goals?

425
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: Or turn the ball over on downs and that's another

426
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: five there, you know, and that then sets up play

427
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: action on the goal line. You know, if you don't

428
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: get in because you have to honor that run, you're

429
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: playing one on one on all these receivers. And now

430
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: that's kind of where Quinton can excel in that slot

431
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: where you're just doing those quick slants and he's got

432
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: such a big body that you can really use him

433
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: as a as a red zone threat. You mentioned the

434
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: tight ends twenty one and a half. Those guys are

435
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: just so damn Smart's the reason why those buildings are

436
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 2: so big. But I'd be really surprised if Herbert ended

437
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four with twenty one passes. Here's here's an

438
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: interesting one's let's do this to help our guy out.

439
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: Let's let's do this. We appreciate the question, Joseph, so

440
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: think about Let's think about the Ravens and their issue

441
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: with wide receiver. They've not and they are a running

442
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: they're a run first offense. Here are Lamar Jackson's touchdown

443
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: totals the first full year as a starter thirty six,

444
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty six, twenty twenty one, twenty two, we

445
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: only played twelve games. Each of those seasons had sixteen

446
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: and seventeen, and last year had twenty four. This guy

447
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: that runs a lot does not throw a lot and

448
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: you are talking about a wide receiver challenged. Can we

449
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: find a number one? Who do we have out here?

450
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 2: Is it was Sead Bateman? Is it? Hollywood Brown? Is it?

451
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: And? How many years was Roman the oc during that?

452
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Was it all but two?

453
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: He left? I think he just left? Right? Was it

454
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: two years ago?

455
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: This manke? Yeah? Because it was Bunkin's first year, right?

456
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: This past year?

457
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: This year was Todd Monkin's first year. Yeah, So so

458
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: there you go. Yeah, Now last year was Monkin's first year.

459
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: So that was all Greg Roman. So there's your answer.

460
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: If you think, if you think the weapons that Herbert

461
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: has combined with Herbert himself as a passer can do

462
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: what Lamar Jackson is capable of doing in terms of

463
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: throwing touchdown asses, then that to me is your answer.

464
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: From Damage Inc.

465
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: But I don't support placing wagers on these sort of things.

466
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: This is just us kicking it around. I'll leave it.

467
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: We're just yeah, we're just talking about Justin and his

468
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: touchdown capability under Jim Harball yet.

469
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 2: Say pact with your friend by all means, go ahead.

470
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: That's more my speed six action.

471
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: Huh well six pack, nothing wrong with that. Do you

472
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: think youj can live up to his first round selection

473
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: if he's used the right way by the coaching staff.

474
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: I think a lack of confidence was his biggest problem.

475
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: And Harball is probably the best coach you can have.

476
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: To rebuild that couple of slants to the house in

477
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: preseason and he'll be fine. Money. What do you think?

478
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: I think it's up to him. I think it's up

479
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: to him. The Chargers were not the only team that

480
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: we're willing to take Quentin in the first round. And

481
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't just lip service from Joe Ortiz when he

482
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: said they were going to take him. They were going

483
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: to take them. If the Chargers had taken Zay Flowers,

484
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: they were going to take Quinn. So there were a

485
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 2: bunch of other teams that had a first round grade

486
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: on q It's up to him. He's he's got to

487
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: figure it out, and he's got the physical tools. He's

488
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 2: just got to get the concentration, the confidence he's got

489
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: put in the work and if he's willing to do

490
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: all that the talents, the physical attributes are there, so

491
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: and I do think that he needs to be used

492
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: a specific way. I don't think there's a lot of

493
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: development that has to go into him being an X receiver.

494
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: You just saw too many, too many problems with him

495
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: tracking the ball over his shoulder, being comfortable adjusting his

496
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 2: body for fifty to fifty balls, working his way through contact.

497
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: All of that stuff were All of those things were

498
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: negatives last year that he really struggled with. So you

499
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: put in the work and he can still overcome those.

500
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, the question frames it perfectly used the right way.

501
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: A couple of slants to the house. That's you can

502
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: get Lad mcconkeye and and djhark and and and Josh

503
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: to to start firing his his solid weapons that that

504
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: teams have to honor single covered in the slot, quick hitter,

505
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: use that speed and that you know that that that

506
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: breakaway from your from a linebacker a safety from inside. Yeah, Nicole,

507
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 2: go get it. That's up.

508
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of fans saw that Justin Herbert

509
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: had a softball charity target up in Oregon. I guess

510
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: he beat his brother in the home run derby final,

511
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: which was awesome, but it's great. What's what's cool to

512
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: see this time of year is the past catcher is

513
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: up there supporting, and Will Disley was up there, Joshua

514
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: Palmer was up there, Quinton was up there, Fojoka was

515
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: up there. I'm sure I'm missing a couple other guys. Uh,

516
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: But to see the camaraderie. Ladd was up there. H.

517
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: To see that camaraderie in the chemistry that's kind of

518
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: being built that extends beyond the bolt right going up

519
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: to Eugene to play quarterbacks softball.

520
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: Target right, you're a wide receiver. You need targets. Better

521
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: do whatever the quarterback wants you to do.

522
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: Better get up there.

523
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 2: Better get up there and get your targets. Man. Uh.

524
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of wide receivers, this is from Jason Delgado Chargers

525
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: fans online. Seam obsessed with acquiring Brandon Nayuk. I think

526
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: we have a good wide receiver depth as is. It

527
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: would cost too much and we want to be a

528
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: run heavy team. Anyways, what are your thoughts?

529
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: I think he's a perfect fit. He's a physical receiver,

530
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: he is a he is a one. He's a top

531
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: five receiver in this league. Man. He can take the

532
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: top off, he can take quick hitters, he fights through contacts,

533
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: he run blocks his ass off. He is Yeah, yeah,

534
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: he's He's definitely somebody that I would certainly be interested

535
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: in acquiring. No out about it. Whether or not the

536
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: forty nine ers actually want to trade him that I

537
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: don't know that I can't speak to. Remember they went

538
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: through this with Debo, where Debo was going to be traded.

539
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: Debo wasn't happy with his contract situation. The forty nine

540
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: Ers told everybody else, we're not trading them, and ultimately,

541
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 2: when the season started, Debo was a forty nine Er.

542
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: So I won't be surprised and the least to see

543
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: that be the case for Ayuk. It seems weird that

544
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: they would move on from him when they can keep

545
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: him around and you know, cut Debo after this year

546
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: and save all of that money. So selfishly, yeah, I'd

547
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: love to see Ayuk be a Charger. I just I

548
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: can't envision the forty nine ers wanting to move on

549
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 2: from him. He's way too good of a receiver.

550
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: All right, money, let's keep it rolling. This is from Jonathan.

551
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: Do you guys think the Chargers should have another player

552
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: handle kickoff duties rather than Dicker, kind of like what

553
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs may do with Reid kicking instead of butt

554
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: cursons the new kickoff format, they see an increase in

555
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: kickers having to tackle the returner. Would love to hear

556
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: what you guys think. It's an interesting question to a

557
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: new wrinkle in the league this year. Money.

558
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, I don't. I don't remember what Butcker what his

559
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: build is like. Dicker's pretty thick though he's he's got

560
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: a strong trunk, like he's a big dude, like he's

561
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: he's bigger than JK. Jk's taller, but he's on a

562
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: much more slender frame. So to me, I would be

563
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: more comfortable with especially with those long levers that JK has.

564
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: That's usually just you're asking for it if you get

565
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: caught up in a wash or something like that. So

566
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: I think Dicker makes more sense from that front. I

567
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: don't again, I don't know what the measurable what the

568
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: measurables are for for Butcker versus whoever their punter is

569
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: going to be this year. But yeah, to me, that's

570
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: and look, I got faith in Ficken. Dicker ain't gonna

571
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: have to make any of those tackles. I'll get it covered, right.

572
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: So that's the thing you don't want. You don't care

573
00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: to making tackles.

574
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: Man, No, you don't want him in the mix there,

575
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: especially for as valuable as Dicker has been to his team,

576
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: and he's the best, one of the best kickers in

577
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: all the NFL. So you know that that'll be another

578
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: wrinkle to the year where it'll it'll win and lose

579
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: games in the league.

580
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: Man, early and early, it will especially early.

581
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see here, Emmanuel, how do you see the

582
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver room now that OTAs in mandatory mini camp

583
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: are done? So what are you looking for? I guess

584
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: on the twenty fourth money when we get out there

585
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: and the kind of the order of the receivers.

586
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: I think it's the same to me. The only thing

587
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: that changes is if Brennan Rice and or Cornelius Johnson

588
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: raised their hand. I think, as it stands right now,

589
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: it's it's five, and it's the five that you would expect.

590
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 2: It's Josh Palmer, Quinton Johnston, Lad McConkey, DJ Shark, Darius Davis.

591
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: That's your wide receiver room coming out of training camp.

592
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: If Brennan Rice or Cornelius Johnson raise their hand, and

593
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: I won't be surprised if they do, especially Brennan considering

594
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: his production in college. Then it'll be six. But to me,

595
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: that's where it stands, and those two will have opportunities

596
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: to prove they belong on a fifty three man roster

597
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: and not a practice squad to start the season, and

598
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: I expect them to take full advantage of it, and

599
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: like I said, will not be the least bit surprised

600
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: if they make it coming out of camp. But I

601
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: think that's what it sits right now.

602
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, And that's the beauty of these training camp practices,

603
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: the joint practices in the games. Of course, somebody like

604
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: Cornelius or Brandon Rice, they're gonna have a big opportunity

605
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: in the second half of games to show that they

606
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: belong in the NFL and they belong on this roster.

607
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: So you can't take as much from otias and mandatory

608
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: of benyicamp. This is where we're really going to see

609
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: where Brendan Rice is development wise as a pro as

610
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: a seventh round rookie.

611
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: Wide receiver.

612
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: From Andrew Loyer. Money, if you guys got to take

613
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: a hypothetical swing at a cornerback who is still available

614
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: in the market. Who would you guys pick? Easy one

615
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: for me is I would just I throw a step

616
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: on Gilmore Vett in that secondary just to show that, hey,

617
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: we have somebody who's been there, done that. You know,

618
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: he may not be what he once was, but to

619
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: have depth and a guy who's kind of been through

620
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: big games and has done it at the highest level

621
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: for a long time in the NFL, Gilmour would be

622
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: a guy that I could see. Okay, that fits, that

623
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: makes sense.

624
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: Good care. Zavin Howard had a rough go last year,

625
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: so Eli Apple has been truly hit her big miss

626
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: his whole career. So Gilmour is the only one. But

627
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: I think they got what they got and it's going

628
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: to be camp battle. It's going to be crossing your

629
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: fingers that Tariv still is ready to go as a rookie,

630
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: that Assante and Christian Christian Fulton can stay healthy, and

631
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: that Asante can play up to the level we know

632
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: he's capable of. We know what a great ball Hawkey is.

633
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: But I think it's just the actual more consistent cover

634
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: capabilities that the Chargers have been looking for from him

635
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: down in, down out because he's definitely a producer when

636
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: it comes to know he's definitely not ball production. We

637
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: know that he's damn good at that, and I think

638
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 2: it's just becoming a complete corner that will send him

639
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: into that elite corner category.

640
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: Jason Sprinkle Senior, what is the expectations for the running

641
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: back room? Are we talking a thousand yard rusher or

642
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: a combo of several with over six to eight hundred.

643
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: It's a great question, Jason, and I really think it

644
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: depends on the health of JK. Dobbins. Right, JK Dobbins

645
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: is healthy at the beginning of the year, and he

646
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: shows that he can carry the ball from fifteen to

647
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: twenty times a game and have no problems that I

648
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: could easily see JK Dobbins going over a thousand yards

649
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: if they want to ease him into the year and

650
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is performing and Bedell's performing and Spiller's performing,

651
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: then I could see that that committee like situation in

652
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: the back where you know, guys have big games and

653
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: it depends on the matchup and who's back there. But

654
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think you would agree, buddy. If JK.

655
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: Dobbins is healthy, like he could be another one of

656
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: those X factors that could kind of flip a season.

657
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: You just again, if you just go through the Ravens

658
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: with coach Dave Ball, I mean Justice Hilton. This is

659
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: twenty two to sixty, Gus four thirty, JK five twenty,

660
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: Kenyon Drake for eighty, and you can point to injuries.

661
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to twenty twenty one. You got Latavius

662
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: Murray five hundred, Tyson Williams two hundred, Devonte Freeman five

663
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: seventy six. So that's what the history has been with

664
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 2: with Greg Roman. Now, you know, let's do this because

665
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: remember he was coach harbaughs OC in San Francisco in

666
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: two thousand and Let's see, where's the first year. I

667
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: think it was twenty twelve if I remember right, was

668
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: the first twenty eleven was the first year. So let's

669
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: go to twenty eleven when they had Frank Gore and

670
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: see what they did with a bell cow. So Frank

671
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 2: Gore twelve hundred, Kendall Hunter four hundred and seventy. So

672
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: it speaks to what you're you mentioned. If Jk's healthy

673
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: and can be a bell cow, they're comfortable with a

674
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: bell cow. I don't think you bringing Gus and JK

675
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: to have Gus just get goal line only or mop

676
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: up kind of, or you know, and come Onie bydel

677
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: to get third down. I think it's more of the committee.

678
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: I think you're probably looking at more of six fifty

679
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 2: seven fifty four fifty is kind of what we're talking that.

680
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: That's the way I would because you don't want to

681
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 2: overwork the guys less you know he's really healthy and

682
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna get it. Just seems weird to give a

683
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 2: guy twenty carries a game that's coming off in Achilles

684
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: and coming off a knee. I think you have to.

685
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: Work up to that, right, I think you'd have to

686
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 1: work up to that. I think the especially the first

687
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: quarter of the season you got the Raiders, Panthers, Steelers,

688
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: and Chiefs, I would lean towards the thought of more

689
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: of a committee that first quarter of the season.

690
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: Look to me, this is a fantasy question. I would

691
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: not be investing in any high picks in any of

692
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 2: the Chargers running backs. There's just too much unknown there.

693
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: I have no problem taking a flyer and maybe the

694
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 2: double digit rounds or you know, seventh eighth rounds something

695
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: like that. It's like RB forty five, just because you

696
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: don't know. Do I think any of them could end

697
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: up top twenty running backs? Yeah? For sure. I just

698
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know how it's it's gonna work

699
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: itself out.

700
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: We got a question about Ben Herbert after the pod

701
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: from Blue Blitz. Are the players doing workouts that Ben

702
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: Herbert wants or what their trainers want? And I think

703
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: Coach Herbert kind of answer this with with regards to

704
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: like the especially the veterans, like he's he has the

705
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: highest respect for what they do in the off season.

706
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: His job is just to help maximize their potential. So

707
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: I think once there in the building, Yeah, I mean.

708
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: You're on his schedule in the building.

709
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly exactly. So I don't know I have anything

710
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: else to add to.

711
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 2: They may not know, you know that that may be

712
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 2: the question, like, hey, are when how does this work?

713
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: If guys have their own trainers, are they on their

714
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: own program? No, once the season starts, you're on Ben

715
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: Herbert's program. That's the program that you are on. It's

716
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: the off season and things like that that they he

717
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: was speaking to that, oh, they're with their own guys.

718
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: Joey works out with his brother, they have their own

719
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 2: personal trainer. Obviously, they typically come to camp in incredible shape,

720
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: so that's more of what he was alluding to. But

721
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: during the season, you're on the Chargers workout program.

722
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: Mayor of Boltsville. Another running back question, do you guys

723
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: think the running back room is set for the season?

724
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: Can fans expect to see Spiller earn any more playing

725
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: time this season? I think that's up to Isaiah and

726
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: and I do think it's complete unless there's some sort

727
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: of of injury that would require them to bring somebody

728
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: else in, right, I think they're going to roll with

729
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: these four.

730
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 2: Well, I think they have. I think there's a possibility

731
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 2: that because they didn't draft Spiller, he's got very little

732
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 2: production on his resume. They did not sign Elijah Dotson,

733
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 2: he's left over from last year. They did draft Kamanie

734
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: by Deell. He's in there. So that's three so to me,

735
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: the fourth sure, there could be a wildcard in there

736
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: at the fourth one, depending on who gets cut from

737
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: other teams running back, so a wild position. A lot

738
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: of it is what flavor do you like, what back

739
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 2: do you want, and if there's somebody else out there

740
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: that loses a spot to somebody else. Because a team's

741
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: got really good running back depth, I could see them

742
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: go scoop that player up at the end of training

743
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 2: camp and plug him in at that number four spot.

744
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: But one, two, three to mere sets, I'd be very

745
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: surprised if it wasn't Edwards Dobbins Vydell.

746
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: From a hustin Gerbert. That's interesting. And then it's his

747
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: woge So it's basically this guy's avatar is justin Herbert

748
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: with with Woes's face, very similar to the Petrison money photoshops.

749
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: You know it's the photoshop man. He does a great

750
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: with he does a great step.

751
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: He may have been responsible for this. Which player taking

752
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: a step forward this season most elevates this team ceiling.

753
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: That's a great question. What do you think money?

754
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: Hmm, boy, I'll give you one each side. One Josh Palmer,

755
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 2: can you can you get him? Is he a number

756
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 2: one receiver? Can you show himself to be a number

757
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 2: one receiver? Because now you've got a run heavy offense

758
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: with a one that can crush you if you commit

759
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 2: too many resources to the run. And two I'll go

760
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: Dan Henley, he's going to be the starter. So and

761
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 2: I and I've got a lot of belief in him.

762
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: I think he can be an exceptional player. I think

763
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 2: he has built and looks and plays like the modern

764
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: day linebacker. He is fast, he can cover, but he

765
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 2: packs a punch. And when you can get that sort

766
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: of size and that sort of thump with that level

767
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: of athleticism, you can do a lot of damage at

768
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 2: that level of the defense.

769
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: So I'll stay wide receiver and I'll say Quentin because

770
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: if Quentin can just elevate his play from last year,

771
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: just you know, I would say, let's say he gets

772
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: like five or six touchdowns this year. You drafted Lad McConkie.

773
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned Joshua Palmer, We talked about the tight ends.

774
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: If Quentin can kind of play up to that first

775
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: round billing more than he did his rookie year, then

776
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: I think the offense is going to be in pretty

777
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: good shape. And I think defensively, if Touley can take

778
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: a step towards being like this dominant, like we start

779
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: talking about him more as like, hey, he's a top

780
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: ten edge rusher. To your point with Joey like just

781
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: imagine what this foursome on the edge can look like.

782
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: And Morgan Fox like those are Those are the two

783
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: players that I think you know and they and they

784
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: come from last year's rookie class, right the first and

785
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: second round picks. If those guys could take I think

786
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: a sizeable step, and there's sophomore seasons, than this team

787
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: could be knocking on the door man. Like I always

788
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: say the Chiefs, the Chiefs are right for a for

789
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: a knockoff. I don't know when it's gonna be. I

790
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be this year. I don't

791
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna be next year.

792
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: I hope it's at some point, but I hope it's

793
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: not gonna be easy.

794
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: A couple more nuthouse. I'm still not sold on the secondary.

795
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: I feel like in the league, corner or great third

796
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: safety is not only wanted, but necessary for the team.

797
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: Do you think they'll add anybody also backup center? What

798
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: do you think?

799
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: Man center? I think is a fair question that I

800
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: was very surprised they didn't drop the center to develop

801
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: behind Bradley Boseman, But maybe that's just the level of

802
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: confidence they have. He goes down and you're talking about

803
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: Brendan Himss who was at Tackling College. They tried to

804
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 2: work him as a swing and that didn't work, so

805
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 2: then they made him a center. Jordan McFadden, who's played okay,

806
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 2: is very small, so he could be a center. So yes,

807
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: I think center is a is something that they'll be

808
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 2: on the lookout for. For sure. Corner there's we went

809
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: through it. There's nobody out there, so it's got to develop.

810
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: Dean Leonard, John Taylor, Tari've still cam Hart. Those guys

811
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 2: are going to have to develop and you're gonna have

812
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: to do a good job of coaching them up and

813
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 2: trying to get them ready for the season.

814
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: And that third safety they signed it Tony Jefferson. He

815
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: may be the third safety. And are we going to

816
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: see j T. Woods take the leaf that we were

817
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: hoping we will see?

818
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: I hope so that'll be.

819
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: That'll be I think evident the first couple of weeks

820
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: of camp kind of where he's playing and how he's

821
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: playing throughout the practices. Leo Smith money, what it's your

822
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: your favorite uniform combination? Man, We've talked about this. I

823
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: know it's not the Navies.

824
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: No, I'm not a Navy guy. I like the Royals.

825
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 2: I love the Royals, So that's my favorite that's just

826
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 2: my age. That's my sweet spot. It's the the Dan

827
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 2: Fouts Chuck Munsey Royals from the early eighties. They usually

828
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: wear them once a year, and I just love that

829
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 2: shade of blue with the gold, so the royal top,

830
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: the gold pants, the white helmet with the number on it.

831
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: That's that's it for me.

832
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: For me, it's just the powder blues. I mean, it's

833
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: it's boring. It's boring, but it's the best.

834
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: But is it powder blue with gold or is it

835
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: powder blue with white?

836
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: Powder blue with whites?

837
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 2: Say that's much, that's different. A lot of people like

838
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: the powder blue with gold. So there you go.

839
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, powder blue with white. It's a pooring answer. I

840
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: should say. The uniform is the best in the league.

841
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: But the Royals, the Royals are for me. Yeah, listen,

842
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: I'm not hating on the Navies.

843
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 2: But no, I am your It's fine, just fine. It's

844
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: just whatever, you know. But the players love them. It's

845
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: their favorite. That's what's so funny. Players absolutely love the Navies.

846
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: I would love to I would love to see the

847
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: uh just for one game that the Navy helmet, like

848
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Navies, you know what I mean, Like

849
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: the standard.

850
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just never liked that shade. It doesn't work.

851
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: That's doesn't work for me. No, no offense to Natron

852
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 2: means business and Stan humphreyes and that and that crew

853
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: from ninety four, but just not my thing. Man. I

854
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 2: need to go back a decade and get me the Royals.

855
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: Thank you for all your questions, guys. If we didn't

856
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: get to all of them, it's some of them. I

857
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 1: think we're duplicates, but we appreciate it every time. Uh

858
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: we ask you guys, deliver buddy. Let's just end on this.

859
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? First day of camp next week.

860
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be excited. Somebody did ask what the setup

861
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: is going to be? Like, Uh, I think we were

862
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: looking at the field. It's if you're looking at the

863
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: field from the facility. I think on the left hand

864
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: side is where grand stands.

865
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: Grandstands, yep, yeah, And I think those were end zones, right,

866
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: So you're you're behind one end zone looking at three

867
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 2: practice fields from your left to right or right to left,

868
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 2: wherever you might be, you know, tilted in your head.

869
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 2: That's how they were. They were building them when we

870
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: were there. So that's what I think you'll end up happening.

871
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: What do you want to see first first day of practice?

872
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: What are you looking for?

873
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: Cloud cover? That's what I'll be looking for. I vibe degrees.

874
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: We have a little bit more that that cover.

875
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: I think at the bowlt I hope, So I certainly hope.

876
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 2: So that's that's my only That's the only thing I

877
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: want to see is elsa gundo cloud cover and a

878
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 2: light trafficked four oh five. That's that. There you go.

879
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for the for the selfish answer, but I'm

880
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,959
Speaker 2: a selfish person. So cloud cover and light traffic, that's

881
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: what I'll be looking for. And just not not to patronize,

882
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 2: but sincerely, I always love seeing the people. So I'll

883
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: be excited to get out there and walk through the

884
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: grand stands and say hi to everybody. Again, it's always

885
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: a blast.

886
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: Goes by so quick, man. This I feel like we

887
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: were just a camp out there in one hundred and

888
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: five degree heat with no shade, doing chargers weekly after breakfast.

889
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: Right and we're back. We'll probably be able to book

890
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: some some players, some members of the coaching staff throughout

891
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: trading camp. So this is kind of the the the

892
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: episode before we get to do all that fun stuff

893
