1
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Welcome into Chargers Weekly as always, joined

2
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: by Matt money Smith and we're taping this right after

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Tom Telesco's end of season press conference, and Money let's

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: just get right to the most important question you asked

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: about his quarter zip is if his quarter zip was

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: a size smaller than it should have been. And then

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: he followed up with a great question about maybe was

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: it better to do this a couple of weeks later,

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: and Tom reference this is one of the worst or

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: toughest professional losses of his career that Week eighteen game

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: against Raiders. Yeah, he opened the press conference by pointing

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: out that, you know, he apologized for not being able

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: to do it right away, but that it was probably good.

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: So he wasn't just focused on Week eighteen and yet

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: was able to kind of speak to the season as

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: a whole um. Which is why I just kind of backtracked,

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: because you know, I just always find it interesting, you

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: know that the professionals and players and coaches move on

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: to the you know, out of the next play out

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: of the next game, you know, but don't go two

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: weeks ahead, just the next one, you know, next place.

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: It's always funny kind of the cliches that gets spit

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: out and whether or not if it really kind of

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: holds and when you have a final game like that,

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: and the way Tom answered the question, I think you

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: could tell that no, he has not passed it. And

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: I suspect a lot of players aren't, you know. And

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: he pointed out what made it so tough that it's

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: the very last game and it goes to overtime, and

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: it's the very last play and there are zeros on

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: the clock when your season comes to an end, and

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: that play also could have ended with your season not

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: coming to an end. And that's what makes it so

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: tough that it just it ends so abruptly and all

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know. And he talked about the momentum,

36
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: and I agree with I don't think that's just you know,

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: trying to paint a picture of positivity. I have felt

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: it different in this market. There is excitement about the

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: way the Chargers play football, about the development of Justin Herbert,

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: about the return of Derwin James, and it's exciting brand

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: of football. And you know, I think we talked about

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: this either last week or it was after the Chiefs game.

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, you want to reward the people in LA

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: you know now that they're starting to come around, and like,

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: all right, you know what I'm feeling this. My kids

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: are into it. They're wearing you know, my son or

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: my daughter's wearing a justin Herbert Jersey. Let's go to

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: a Charger game. You want it to pay off. And

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: I got a little bit of that from Tom that man,

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: it really would have been nice to reward the fans,

51
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: the people that are coming around to the Chargers here

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with a birth in the playoffs. And

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: I think he touched on something else that we talked about, Chris,

54
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: and that's I thought this team was good enough. You know,

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: I thought, just get in and I liked the matchups,

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: and you know, I think they got a shot. Now.

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know, but Buffalo was going to look like

58
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: the buzz saw that they looked like against the Patriots,

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: because that's where they would have been. But I think

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: I can certainly echo his sentiment about kind of why

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: it was that that last game is clearly still stuck

62
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: with him two weeks later. Yeah, well, a couple of

63
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: things there too, because you know, if you have a

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: crushing loss like that in Week nine, you got week ten, right,

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: you got week eleven, when you have it in week eighteen,

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: you got nothing but the offseason and you can't wait

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: to get back on the field for twenty twenty two.

68
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: So that's one thing. And you mentioned just wanting to

69
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: reward the fans. Tom said, you know, obviously the number

70
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: one priorities to win a championship, but that one a

71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: is an entertaining brand of football, which they certainly did

72
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: this year. And let's just kick it off with the

73
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: identity of the team. You know, he led by just

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: saying he loves what Brandon Saley's doing, what he's built

75
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: in just one year. And he says, basically, we have

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: a clear vision of who we are, how we're gonna

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: play football, and that's not going to change in twenty

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: twenty two. Money, And that was something we talked about

79
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: after the Chiefs game. You know that whatever your position

80
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: may be on the decision making going forward on fourth

81
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: and goal, skipping a twenty eight yard field goal, leaving

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: points on the field, going into overtime and losing, and

83
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't like that, that's that. Then

84
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: you don't like the way they did it against Cleveland

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: or against Pittsburgh or against Kansas City and Arrowhead. And

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: I think that's what Tom was alluding to is I'm

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: not going to litigate the fourth and one and a

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: half from the eighteen, you know, I'm not gonna What

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about is this is our identity.

90
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: This is the way that this coaching staff and this

91
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: head coach wants to play football. And I support that

92
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. So I think that's and look, I

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: think that's the way you have to address it, because

94
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine, Look, those conversations are never going to

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: be public. If he doesn't like going forward on fourth

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: and eighteen against the Raiders, you know in the third quarter,

97
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: he's not going to tell us that, you know. But

98
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: I think the more important part, and whether or not

99
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: you want to hear him give you that answer, I don't.

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: I don't really care. If you were to ask me,

101
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I would think he probably wasn't crazy about it. But

102
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: I think the more important point is I like the

103
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: way we play football. I like the approach that Brandon

104
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: Staley takes, and I'm going to back that one hundred percent.

105
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: You know, if that means you have to take a

106
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: couple of these in order to get a couple of these,

107
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: then I'm okay with it. And I think that's kind

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: of the point he was making, is it's not about

109
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: that one play. It's about the philosophy as a whole,

110
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: and the front office and the coaching staff seemed to

111
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: be in step for that. When asked about the defense,

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: I found it interesting he said he may have overestimated

113
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: how good they were going to be on defense, and

114
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: I think there's a myriad of factors within that for

115
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: why he thought that. And he also thought that the

116
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: offense was going to be behind the defense, and it

117
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: ended up being kind of the opposite, where you know,

118
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: they're setting team records and justin Herbert's breaking every imaginable

119
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: quarterback record the franchise has ever seen. So I did

120
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: find that interesting that he he thought that defense may

121
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: carry this team in twenty twenty one and is actually

122
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: the opposite. Yeah, it's you know, And as he was

123
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: saying that, I started kind of doing inventory, you know,

124
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: and my brain, this tiny little brain I have, and

125
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, okay, well, why why would he think that?

126
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, you know, Chenna had a good year,

127
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, Joey Bosa had a Pro Bowl year. Justin

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: Jones went down and the line wasn't the same in

129
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: his absence. Kaiser White had an exceptional year. I think

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: we I think most Charger fans would be really upset

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: if he wouldn't resigned, considering kind of what he's turned into,

132
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: almost the prototypical linebacker with size, speed, ability, athleticism. You know,

133
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Drew Trank will had a really good year. You know.

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: I think really where they were let down was just

135
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: one spot and that's corner, and it's part of attrition,

136
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: and I think it was part performance. And you know,

137
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: if you were to ask me, look, it's got you

138
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: gotta have it on all levels. And you know, it's

139
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: just like the right tackle position right that we saw

140
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: against the Raiders and all, if you got one week spot,

141
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: they'll find it and they will exploit it until you

142
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: got a solution. And I think that's kind of what

143
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: my you know, I think the run defense, and he

144
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: alluded to this. He didn't say it specifically, but he

145
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: pointed out when he was asked about the run defense,

146
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: He's like, look, it's an eleven man approach. It's not

147
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: just that line. And I think that's to me that's

148
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: kind of what he was speaking to. And he addressed

149
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray and what was a disappointing year for Kenneth

150
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: and how they hope he can bounce back. He pointed

151
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: to a really bad ankle injury, and you got the

152
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: sense maybe Kenneth had a rougher goal with COVID than

153
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: some of the other players. He sort of touched on

154
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: that a little bit, but I think that's what he's

155
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: alluding to, is run fills and specifically, I think a

156
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: lot of it's tackling and I think we talked about

157
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: this after the Raiders game. I feel like we did

158
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: it with Asante. You know, Asante had a great year

159
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: by rookie standards, but I think it's asking a lot

160
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: for someone of his size to be an outside corner

161
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: that is responsible for run defense as well, and I

162
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: think that showed up at times. And to me, that's

163
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: kind of what what he was alluding to. And I'm

164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: mashing a bunch of different questions together, you know, and

165
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: kind of what you brought up with that one question

166
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: of what he said, he's take an ownership and even

167
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: used the word blame a little bit for what he

168
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: thought was the pieces that he thought were there to

169
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: play defense. And then I guess if I were to

170
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: assess that that's probably you know, if I had to

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: point to one spot, I think it's the interior of

172
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: the line, specifically depth. I think Jerry Tillery was a

173
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: bit of a liability against the run. And he pointed

174
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: to so many things they like about Jerry Tillery and

175
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: so why length pass rush ability to get after? He

176
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: plays with a nice, nasty motor, but certainly he's got

177
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: to sort out some run issues. And I think the

178
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: second the secondary specifically in that run defense, you know,

179
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: and their fills and their tackling ability was a bit

180
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: of an issue. And you know, in the same breath

181
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: of talking about Tillery, he referenced Taisier and year four

182
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: and kind of the leap that he's taken. And by

183
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: being so complimentary of Jerry, I think they still believe

184
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: that Jerry has another level to get to, especially in

185
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: this defense. And say, with Michael Davis, I mean, he

186
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: talked about how Milo and Gus really coached up Michael

187
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Davis as a developmental player in twenty seventeen and then

188
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Mike's got to learn a whole

189
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: new system. So I think there's some growing pains with

190
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: some of the existing pieces they have. And you mentioned Asante,

191
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like you're right, like, by by rookie standards,

192
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: he had a pretty good year, you're hoping and year two,

193
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: coupled with using that free agency as a tool and

194
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: those eleven draft picks as you can continue to bolster

195
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: that secondary along with some other key pieces that may

196
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: fit what Brandon Staley and company like to do best.

197
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: To me, that's going to be the interesting one because look,

198
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: there's there's pretty much there's a few positions that rarely

199
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: find their way to free agents. See if you've got

200
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: really good players, and it's offensive tackles, defensive edge players

201
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: and corners you know, and and those you know, and

202
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: obviously quarterbacks. But those those positions, when you get them,

203
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: you keep them. You know. It's why you know number

204
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: ones are getting traded or twos are getting you know,

205
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: number twos are getting traded for Darious Slay. It's like

206
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: two ones are going for Jalen Rams. It's why you

207
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: see teams part with considerable draft capital to take on

208
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: an elite player at that position or spend and in

209
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: an ordinate amount of money to load up at that position,

210
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: and that's you know, I guess that's where the one

211
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: issue is is where do you find it? You know,

212
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: what's what's available. There aren't a lot of teams Like

213
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: remember when somehow Fuller ends up going to the Broncos

214
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: and you're like, my god of all the places and

215
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: they ended up needing it, you know, because you've got

216
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: to have depth there because guys go down, they're smaller guys,

217
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: they're asked to tackle bigger guys typically, So you know,

218
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be interesting to see because

219
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: the way if you look at now that some mock

220
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: drafts are coming out, and you know, as I've been

221
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: kind of getting ready to do my prep, I'm calling

222
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: the NFLPA game. I'm going to the Combine. So I've

223
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: been digging into this for the last like five weeks.

224
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: A week from Saturday, yeah, January twenty ninth, it will

225
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: be on NFL Network, So I'll be on the call

226
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: out there at the Rose Bowl for that one. But

227
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: as I'm digging in, Look, there's some really good corners.

228
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see it. Pick seventeen. What's there?

229
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Because it's a deep offensive tackle class. I think that

230
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: lines up where you have a couple of those big,

231
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: meaty interior defensive lineman that should probably be there. You're

232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: probably gonna have a couple athletic linebackers if you're starting

233
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: to think about how am I going to put this

234
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: money puzzle together? And there's you know, the corners. I

235
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: think there's premium in the corners. I mean Stingley's gonna

236
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: go on the top five, but I think once you

237
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: get beyond that, I don't I don't know how that's

238
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: going to shake out, you know. So it's gonna be

239
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: interesting to see how he attacks that position because I

240
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: don't think they're any question that they they're gonna have

241
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: to add players, you know, probably with high draft capital

242
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: and free agency to that group. Yeah, number seventeen overall

243
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: in the first and then obviously you kind of see

244
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: the depth of the class, and we'll learn more about

245
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: it as the offseason goes on. It's funny with these

246
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: press conferences, we don't really hear much about Justin Herbert

247
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: or Sean Slater. I think Popper and the first Justin

248
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Herbert question like an hour in because you know what

249
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: you have in Justin Herbert in Reshaud Slater, Right. So

250
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: it's like you're you're getting questions about Mike Williams and

251
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Durwin James and some of these free agents. Tom said

252
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna kind of wait till it's time to make

253
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: those decisions. But I think it's safe to say we

254
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: know how he feels about Durwin James, and hey, he

255
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: referenced just the way Mike Williams played late in that

256
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Raiders game and just the effort that he had quarter

257
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: and overtime. And you know, it would be nice to

258
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: see Mike Beck in Powder Blue if they can make

259
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: that work, you know, I mean, Brandon Sailey got emotional

260
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: talking about it. You know, the effort that that Mike

261
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: put out there. Problem there, of course, is it's a

262
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: lot of money to tie up in that position. You know,

263
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: Keenan makes a lot of money, and I think that's

264
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: where you're going to have to figure it out. I

265
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: think if there is a player that's going to get

266
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: the franchise tag, it's gonna be Mike. I think that's

267
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: the one. It's still a big number, but it's not

268
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: a it's not a long term deal. You have to invest.

269
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: You can go one more year. You know, it's probably

270
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: I think around seventeen million bucks. I think they just

271
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: got an additional nine carryover, so they're going to have

272
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: close to eighty million bucks in free agent dollars. So

273
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: I think, just I think that's a to me, that's

274
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: the most realistic of it. You know, I of of

275
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: the options letting him go, signing him to a long

276
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: term deal, or it's franchise him, you know, and and

277
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: give it one more year and make sure this is

278
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: what we this is what we need, this is is what

279
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: we want, you know what I mean. So I think,

280
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: and look, let's not forget Chargers wide receiver group had

281
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: more drops than any wide receivers in the league. So

282
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: I think, by no means is that group beyond reproach

283
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: as good as they were, you know, as ridiculous as

284
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: the numbers were, the fact that too, Yeah, I mean,

285
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: they had more drops than any other group in the league.

286
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: So I think you do have to do some self

287
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: scouting and make sure a look, we love these guys.

288
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: I said, that's a bad stat. You do not want

289
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: that stat on your resume. So that's gonna be an

290
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: interesting one. I'm with you, though, I think it's clear

291
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: that that Herbert trusts Mike implicitly in those downfield throws

292
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: and that's when he takes the shots. That's where he

293
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: wants to go, and that is such an important element

294
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: of this offense. So it's gonna be. It's gonna be.

295
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I think, I think Mike's gonna get offers. I believe

296
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: that that there's gonna be some stuff out there, which

297
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: is why I think the franchise is probably what makes

298
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: sense there. Yeah, I think this season was so telling

299
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: them from Mike because he really did become a more

300
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: complete wide receiver under Joe Lombardi and Staley in this scheme,

301
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: and um, that's something that Staley referenced back back in

302
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: his time in Denver, saying like, hey, when we when

303
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: we scouted you, you were like a jumpall guy. You're

304
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: a deep go guy. And now he's been able to

305
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: do a variety of things. And you see the trust

306
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: that Justin has in him. Um yeah, you almost put

307
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: it on par with Keenan and the way that that

308
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Herbert trusted Keenan. Really from the beginning. You started to

309
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: see that chemistry developed with Mike so much more in

310
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So um. And then then you throw

311
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: in the fact that Josh Palmer kind of came on

312
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year two. So do you

313
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: envision Palmer taking that next step? Right? I think that's

314
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: the big question Chrish. Yeah, because Josh he's gonna be good.

315
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: Josh is gonna be a really good player. So I

316
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: think that's you know, that's kind of what you got

317
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: to figure out. You know, can we plug Josh into

318
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: that role? You know, can can we plug him into

319
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: one of the outside spots and still feel like the

320
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: drop off isn't significant enough that our offense takes a

321
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: huge hit, and in the process we save seventeen million

322
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: dollars to go spend on a right tackle, on a corner,

323
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: on an outside corner, on a defensive tackle, you know what,

324
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: what on a guard, whatever you may need, you know

325
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. So I think that's that's Look, that's

326
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: why I don't envy Ed and Tom and all these

327
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: guys that got to figure this out. It's not just

328
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: the player evaluation, but it's trying to get the financial

329
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: pieces to fit. But so, like to me, like, haven't

330
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: so they've got eighty million dollars. The reason why they

331
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: have eighty million dollars to spend or whatever the number is.

332
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: I can't it's between seventy and eighty. I think it's

333
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: what I saw on sport trek Um. It's because Justin

334
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: Herbert's on his rookie deal. Yeah, So like that's that's why.

335
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of it. It's like, man,

336
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: this was year two and we only got three more

337
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: of these, you know, with before that that number is

338
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: gonna triple or whatever. Who knows what the number is

339
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: going to be by then, but I think that's yeah,

340
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: that's why. You know, when that blank when that blank

341
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: check shows up, you've got to be able to fill

342
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: in around. And that's kind of where I'm trying to

343
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: figure out how Mike fits in. Like you know, okay,

344
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: well you can pay your wide receiver because quarterbacks at

345
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: this number, so you can actually get away with it.

346
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: You give him a seventeen and a half and keep

347
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: Josh is incredible. Three. When you're giving those guys a breather,

348
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: he immediately becomes a one or two and either Keenan

349
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: or Micro off the field. So that's that's gonna be

350
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: a tricky one, no doubt. Yeah, And I think you

351
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: said this a few weeks ago too, Like, yes, the

352
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: Chargers have the second most cav space in the league,

353
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: but you got Irwin James, you got all these guys

354
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: on defense that we talked about that I would envision

355
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: you want to get at least a couple of them

356
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: back that Saley is high on. You know, you Chen

357
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: as another guy who played his best game against the

358
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: Raiders in Week eighteen. And then you got to be

359
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: selective in free agency and then maybe add some dudes

360
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 1: on special teams through the draft and just continue to

361
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: develop what you have. Was there anything else that Tom

362
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: said money that she found interesting or worth mentioning. Yeah,

363
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm looking at my notes here. I

364
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: thought that it was interesting that he pointed out, you know,

365
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: it's a in the offseason, we got to focus on

366
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: the entire team. It's not you know a lot of

367
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: people are thinking, you know, they signed Corey Lindsley last year,

368
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: they signed a Bushie, They signed Matt Filer that took

369
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: care of the line, you know, and they drafted Josh Palmer,

370
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: they drafted Rashaan Slater. I think his point was, Hey,

371
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we're just gonna spend all this money

372
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: on the defense, and we're going to draft all defense

373
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: because of what we did last year. He kind of

374
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: pointed out, Yeah, the numbers are great, but you know,

375
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: the offense is still going to need attention. We're still

376
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: going to have to do things on offense and we're

377
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: going to have to address offense. And I think that

378
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: speaks to you know, what has historically been tom'smo on

379
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: the draft, and that's taken the best player available, regardless

380
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: of position. So I think, look, if it's an offensive

381
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: tackle that's there at seventeen, it's number one on their board,

382
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: and there's a pretty good sized gap between that tackle

383
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: that's sitting there and the d tackle or the corner.

384
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: I think they'll take the right tackle, especially after what

385
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: they just saw in Week eighteen and eleven pressures in

386
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter by Max Crosby, So you know, I

387
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: think that's I thought that was interesting, like because it

388
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: almost felt like, you know, in Brandon's presser, he pointed out, Hey, look,

389
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: we wanted to make sure Justin Herbert was right. You know,

390
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: that guy can't have a regression in this year, so

391
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, bring in Lindsley, make sure Mike comes back.

392
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: Pick up that fifth year option. You know, let's do

393
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: everything we can to make sure he's his arrow is

394
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: pointed up and he does not take a step back

395
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: in the year two. Makes total sense. And then he

396
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, now we got to focus on

397
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: defense and we've got to find you know, so I

398
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: think it was almost a no doubt we got to

399
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: focus on defense. But let's not get complacent. You know,

400
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: a team could come out there and throw an incredible

401
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 1: amount of money at Mike and we might have an

402
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: issue and you've got a retool and you've got to

403
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: figure that all out. And I think a great example

404
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: of what you just said is the reason they drafted

405
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: Brendan Hymas, right, and guys like Trey McKitty. They didn't

406
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: draft them for twenty twenty one. And those are two

407
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: guys specifically that I think are going to have a

408
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: bigger impact on the offense. Maybe Hymus is a starter

409
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. I don't know, but maybe they

410
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: like him enough at that point. But you're right, you're

411
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: you're not drafting in in one year for that specific year.

412
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: Necessarily sometimes it is to help, but you know, you

413
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: don't get you don't get all pro reshawnse Slater every year,

414
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying, right, I think it's um It

415
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: is actually one of the I don't It is one

416
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: of the things I would have liked to have seen

417
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: this year, you know, because it's as much as and

418
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: I'm not a practice so I don't know what it

419
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: looks like in practice, but what it probably tells you

420
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: is it didn't look great. But look when they had

421
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: to plug in Storm for an entire game, he played fine.

422
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. When they had to plug in Tray for Storm.

423
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: When Storm was out and they had to play Pipkins

424
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: for an entire game, played great. Yeah, you know, I

425
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: would have liked to see more, just to take inventory, like, hey,

426
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: can Tray be the guy? You know? I would have

427
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: liked to have alternated those two maybe and at least

428
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: rotate him, just to see if Tray could be the guy.

429
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: I would have liked to see himas a little bit

430
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: like if you think his arms aren't long enough and

431
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna fit as a guard, you know,

432
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: I would have liked to have seen him a little

433
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: bit out there, because I thought he looked really good

434
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: in the preseason. I thought he looked better than blog

435
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: at right tackle in the preseason, so like, but it's

436
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: the preseason, so I just I feel like because they

437
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: were so competitive, and Tom said it repeatedly, because they

438
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: were competing for the division, you know, in mid December,

439
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: that prevented the idea of development. It's, hey, we got

440
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: to put our best guys out there for every single

441
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: snap there are in all these one score games. You

442
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: can't afford to do that. And that's one of the

443
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: unfortunately the missed opportunities from this season because they were

444
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: competitive until the final play of the final game in

445
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: overtime with an extra ten minutes, and that's you know

446
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: what's just sort of miss out on when you have

447
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: those situations. So Thomas presser was over an hour. I

448
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: suggest you guys listen to it. I mean, we're just

449
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of supplementing, giving our thoughts on what we heard.

450
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: But it also kind of signals the end of the

451
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season and a little bit of a

452
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: break here as we get ready for the draft and money.

453
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned the PA game that you're gonna be calling,

454
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a little bit of a hiatus

455
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: on the charges weekly this next month, be back the

456
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: week of the combine. So I'm not sure if I'm

457
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna be an indie. I know you will, and we'll

458
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: have reports from the combine and pick this thing up.

459
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,480
