Speaker 1: We've got Chargers receiver and the legendary than the son
Speaker 1: of legendary Jerry Rice. Brendan Rice is joining us a
Speaker 1: bit later to talk about Rashawn Slater's injury today and
Speaker 1: the Chargers offense. But first, O, Joe, Anthony Richardson was injured.
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson was injured on the coach second drive. He
Speaker 1: dislocated the pinky on his throwing hand. Hey, we can't
Speaker 1: show this because it's NFL property, right huh Oh.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm saying the play that happened. O. Jo. Hey,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the play.
Speaker 3: Yes, somebody blew assignment. I could I could have. Hey
Speaker 3: tell me not the titan went out right? Isn't the
Speaker 3: running backspore to pick muppet not go to the flat?
Speaker 1: Both of them pre released. O, Choe is hot. Everybody
Speaker 1: seemed to run the right route.
Speaker 3: Know what it was?
Speaker 2: Except him? Oh so the most remember Joe.
Speaker 1: You remember Justin Fields his rookie year, got his helmet
Speaker 1: take it off?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he missed it right, the hot read It's.
Speaker 1: Two people seemingly ran hot. Just think about where the
Speaker 1: line went. The line went that way to the left. Yes,
Speaker 1: the tight end hooks up, the back runs a flat.
Speaker 3: Okay, So okay, okay, okay, So I thought for me.
Speaker 1: Somebody, look, I hope I pray it wasn't him, because
Speaker 1: in your third year, it can't happen on Joe.
Speaker 3: You got to be able to see that. But this
Speaker 3: is what I thought. I thought the tight end went
Speaker 3: on this route, right. Yeah. I thought the running back
Speaker 3: was supposed to step up and pick up the end
Speaker 3: coming up since this, since the line slid to the left,
Speaker 3: that's what I thought. The income and I thought the
Speaker 3: back of gonna pick up from where the tight end left.
Speaker 3: So I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope it wasn't his fault.
Speaker 1: We might not ever know, but the a lot of
Speaker 1: people Jeff Schwartz said, this is day one empty protect
Speaker 1: an install BAMA for Richardson.
Speaker 2: He didn't see it. Kurt Warner an early.
Speaker 1: Pre Sison example of having pressure playing old line sliding
Speaker 1: to the left, quarterback responsible for the linebacker on the right.
Speaker 1: He comes ot correctly squeezed further Guy way hot Ar
Speaker 1: has to see this and dish to the running back
Speaker 1: or the tight end right away.
Speaker 2: Daniel Day one installed, Damn damn.
Speaker 1: When I saw it, I was like, I show, I show.
Speaker 1: Hope they blew this and not him, right, That's what
Speaker 1: I said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you got you gotta you gotta be able
Speaker 3: to see that. You gotta you gotta be able to
Speaker 3: see it. Obviously, obviously, when the quarterback comes to the line,
Speaker 3: you point to the mic. Anything outside of the mic.
Speaker 3: If more comes to the line, slide to the left
Speaker 3: and more comes and you can block boom, you gotta
Speaker 3: know you how got it? You got you got to
Speaker 3: You gotta be able to see it.
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 1: I hope the tight end or the running back blew that.
Speaker 1: I really do, O Joe, I really do.
Speaker 3: If anything, it wouldn't be the tight end. Actually, I'm
Speaker 3: I'm assuming maybe.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be somebody other than Richardson's. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he's a quarterback that is really day one empty
Speaker 1: protection because the line goes one way, so anything that
Speaker 1: comes off that side, now I get it. Now, if
Speaker 1: you got if you got if you slide the line
Speaker 1: one way, and he was like, okay, tight end, you
Speaker 1: hot back. But but if that's the case, Ojo, why
Speaker 1: would it tight Here's the why. This is why it
Speaker 1: makes me think it's Richison. If the tight end think
Speaker 1: the back is gonna pick him up, he wouldn't need
Speaker 1: to be hot. You're only hot if nobody's coming if
Speaker 1: nobody's there to block it.
Speaker 3: Okay, see, I didn't even know.
Speaker 1: It turns around. If he thinks the backs there, he's
Speaker 1: not hot because I got somebody. It would take two
Speaker 1: to make him hot. One doesn't make you hot because
Speaker 1: you got a blocker, right. That's what makes me think.
Speaker 1: Now I could be wrong, but.
Speaker 3: We played. Actually, if the quarterback points to the mic
Speaker 3: is too outside of the mic, that would make you.
Speaker 2: Huh, one guy came right.
Speaker 3: If the line is slide to the left, outside.
Speaker 1: Line slides to the left, it takes one. If why
Speaker 1: if the tight end thinks the back is going to
Speaker 1: take that guy, why would he run a hot route?
Speaker 3: I didn't even know he ran hot. I thought he
Speaker 3: went into his route. So you could be right, You
Speaker 3: could be right. I just saw the play at it.
Speaker 2: He only ran five yards.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's a stick which would which would
Speaker 1: be you know the equivalent of a hot rap. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's a built in hot right bill inside of just
Speaker 1: But my thing is is that and that's what made
Speaker 1: me think line goals here. Okay, if two come, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're hot. But only one came. So if the back
Speaker 1: was supposed to pick him up, the tight end wouldn't
Speaker 1: run hot. But like I said, the back could have
Speaker 1: blown aside it the black the back theoretically, Oh Joe could.
Speaker 2: Have that could have been his responsibility.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm afraid we won't ever know because nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: throw nobody under under the bus.
Speaker 3: Listen, even though nobody's gonna throw anybody under the bus,
Speaker 3: now you know you're gonna have unless you're gonna have
Speaker 3: punits that can gonna replay this tomorrow on TV on
Speaker 3: all football platforms, and they're gonna talk about it on
Speaker 3: Who's at Fault? Yeah, Now, just based on what I saw,
Speaker 3: I was thinking. I thought the tight end just went
Speaker 3: into his route, and I was thinking maybe the running
Speaker 3: back is supposed to step up and take on the end,
Speaker 3: which rarely happens because that's a complete mismatch. But you
Speaker 3: do sometimes get mismatches like that, depending on which way
Speaker 3: the line slides.
Speaker 1: Oh see, what they did is that they kind of
Speaker 1: ride a crossbuck right, the tackle squeezed down. Right, you
Speaker 1: take the most dangerous, you take head up, if you
Speaker 1: take inside, head up, most dangerous, man, I'm gonna turn
Speaker 1: the farthest guy. I'm gonna let him run the furthest
Speaker 1: distance because I know a guy that's in the gap,
Speaker 1: he has the shortest distance. I see the guy coming,
Speaker 1: he has a shorter distance than the guy that's outside
Speaker 1: of the tackle, that's coming from distance. So as I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it, they brought to mado. Ain't the I
Speaker 1: don't know if this the tight end, but all I
Speaker 1: know is he takes like three steps and get his
Speaker 1: head around the back.
Speaker 3: That's hot rock. That's hot rock, that's hot on.
Speaker 2: And and the back and the back, and the back
Speaker 2: goes to the flat. Look.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that one of those other guys, and I
Speaker 1: don't mean to put this on them, but this is
Speaker 1: a horrible look. If Richardson missed this, Oh Joe a
Speaker 1: third year guy and this is day one protection, This
Speaker 1: is not a good look. This is a downright awful,
Speaker 1: horrible look for a guy that's in his third year
Speaker 1: and he's supposed to be the guy that's gonna take
Speaker 1: you to where you want to go.
Speaker 2: You can't miss that.
Speaker 3: No, you can't you And listen you saw with Chase
Speaker 3: Daniels tweeted, right, that is one installed because when you install,
Speaker 3: you always install the hots for every single play, every
Speaker 3: every play has an install because at any point that
Speaker 3: they do blitz defensively, they're always at an advantage because
Speaker 3: you can only block so many people.
Speaker 1: You can only block so many the other guy can block.
Speaker 1: And Richardson blocked him with his chest. That ain't what
Speaker 1: you want, though. You don't want your quarterback to be
Speaker 1: a blocker. Because he got the ball Ojo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean you look at the guy in the slot. He
Speaker 1: takes three steps and he gets his head around. You
Speaker 1: see the bat. The back doesn't even make it. The
Speaker 1: back tries to avoid it. He didn't try to touch it.
Speaker 2: No, So he's getting in the flat damn man.
Speaker 1: But here's the and and the thing is Ojo. He's
Speaker 1: looking so I don't know, man, I don't know. This
Speaker 1: is just a bad look. If he's the one that
Speaker 1: that that that goof this.
Speaker 3: I hope not. I'm hoping it's the ladder. I'm hoping
Speaker 3: I'm right, you know, for for his sake.
Speaker 2: Yes, I do too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a question. I have no no knowledge
Speaker 3: of the extended injuries or how long it takes to
Speaker 3: recover this located finger. How long we're looking at.
Speaker 1: It all depends do they have to I mean, look,
Speaker 1: he can't throw it without a pinky.
Speaker 2: You haven't seen somebody throw it three fingers. I mean
Speaker 2: four fingers.
Speaker 3: Pinky is very very pinky is very important.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the that's the one that How you gonna
Speaker 1: hold it?
Speaker 3: Hey man, where is the ac? It's freezing in here?
Speaker 3: Hold on?
Speaker 1: This is this is this is a bad look chat
Speaker 1: I just like I said, and and I'm saying this
Speaker 1: because as a quarterback, you cannot miss this. So maybe
Speaker 1: the maybe the slot receiver, which is they say that
Speaker 1: he's a tight end. I don't know. Uh, that's what
Speaker 1: a Kirk Kirk Warner said, he's a tight end. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Kurt. I'm gonna take Kurt Warred for it.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what they had him listed as, but he
Speaker 1: was he was in an up position ojo. So so
Speaker 1: basically the slot he takes three steps, he turns around,
Speaker 1: he gets his head around. Yeah, look at the back.
Speaker 1: The back is be lining for the flat.
Speaker 3: So you have two options to go with and get
Speaker 3: the ball at your hands.
Speaker 1: You should go to the back because if you look
Speaker 1: at it, the safety chiefs down.
Speaker 2: He takes that guy.
Speaker 3: Right now, So you should go to the flat right
Speaker 3: right away. Yeah, damn. And then not only do you
Speaker 3: make the mistake, making the mistake and not seeing the
Speaker 3: hot now you hurt. I could see if it was
Speaker 3: a sacking. Okay, look we get we get to come back.
Speaker 3: You've seen it on film obviously in your third year,
Speaker 3: so you should be used to that. Look, they're not
Speaker 3: they're not doing nothing. Everything is vanilla. It's the preseason.
Speaker 2: That is nothing exotic.
Speaker 3: Everything is vanilla. So you should be able to see
Speaker 3: it ahead of time. And I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping. I'm hoping. We're gonna We're gonna know tomorrow though,
Speaker 3: because they gonna break it down. Everybody's gonna break it down. Yes, God,
Speaker 3: that's crazy, man.
Speaker 2: And the thing is old shoulder injuries.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's hurt. He missed thirteen games as a rookie.
Speaker 1: He missed another four last year due to an injury.
Speaker 1: That's seventeen games and thirty four, so he's missed half.
Speaker 1: He's missed half the snaps in his career. They said
Speaker 1: thirty four games seventeen and seventeen. He's missed seventeen, so
Speaker 1: he's missed fifty.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, so he hasn't had a full season
Speaker 3: yet even No, I remember his shoulder last year?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 3: Last year he dislocated his shoulder.
Speaker 1: Us the shoulder he dislocated as a rookie. Okay, and
Speaker 1: so but he it reinjured it if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: damn man.
Speaker 3: And this is the year, this is to make a
Speaker 3: break a year, especially being in a quarterback competition with
Speaker 3: Dave Jones. Well, hell, Dan Jones looking no goddamn better,
Speaker 3: no disrespect. He didn't look no better. He didn't look
Speaker 3: too promising. Oh this is the quarterback of the future, Joe.
Speaker 3: But you got to realize he was also bitched. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: for coming out the game. Coming out that's right.
Speaker 2: So he's missed more than half.
Speaker 3: What's next?
Speaker 4: Huh?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, he gotta he's got to figure
Speaker 2: this out of Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn.
Speaker 1: But I mean when you take a guy that's a
Speaker 1: and everybody said he's a project. He has phenomenal God,
Speaker 1: he has gifts, yes, size, his strength, he has a
Speaker 1: nice art, he has an unbelievable arm, crazy to refine
Speaker 1: the touch.
Speaker 2: But he's a project. He's a project, Graham.
Speaker 4: And.
Speaker 1: This is this is not a good look, I mean
Speaker 1: the first game of the season or second d.
Speaker 2: And you injured.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could imagine, especially as a quarterback on you
Speaker 3: already know I.
Speaker 1: Might mess up, but I ain't messing up something that's
Speaker 1: gonna get me hurt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you know how much they have to
Speaker 3: deal with too, Yes, how much is on their plate
Speaker 3: coming to the line, you know, knowing what everybody's doing,
Speaker 3: being able to point out. I mean, it's so much.
Speaker 3: Remember when I told you sometimes that I go in
Speaker 3: the huddle and I know how much Carson has to
Speaker 3: deal with and I want the ball, And instead of
Speaker 3: bothering them or saying something verbally, I'll just tap his
Speaker 3: hip just to put it in his mind, just let
Speaker 3: him know. And then once I get out there, I'll
Speaker 3: still won't say anything, but let him know. Listen, I
Speaker 3: know you got a lot to go through. You got
Speaker 3: to reason to make you got to make it call
Speaker 3: and do your points. Talk to the office of line,
Speaker 3: just to let you know I'm there, just so yeah, subconsciously.
Speaker 1: That's the middle of the regular season. This is the
Speaker 1: first game of preseason. Ain't nobody running, ain't nobody, ain't
Speaker 1: nobody putting anything on tape?
Speaker 2: They want to run. This is this is day one?
Speaker 2: They won? Yeah? Yeah, obviously yeah, And I'm like, damn
Speaker 2: this all we got?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Cover one, cover three, you might get a look.
Speaker 1: I ain't doing nothing exotic at all. I ain't doing
Speaker 1: no two man, I might run, I ain't clouding it.
Speaker 1: I ain't doing I ain't banjoing no coverage. I ain't
Speaker 1: doing none of that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I just like I said, oh Joe, and and I
Speaker 1: hate to put this on the running back or the
Speaker 1: tight end, but it would be better if you guys
Speaker 1: goofed this than him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn, man, I was I was looking forward. I
Speaker 3: was looking forward to to him competing, you know for
Speaker 3: that position.
Speaker 2: You go miss time?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they they probably went back in and
Speaker 1: the question is what's his pain tolerance?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. That's a good one. Well obviously you could
Speaker 3: you could take you could take these.
Speaker 1: Two no as a quarterback and throw the ball. That's
Speaker 1: his throwing hand. He ain't catching no passes, he ain't
Speaker 1: rushing no passes.
Speaker 2: You're a quarterback. You ever seen a quarterback take two
Speaker 2: fingers together?
Speaker 3: Only throwing hand throwing hand? No, there you go, and
Speaker 3: you saw his finger it was sideways.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I've had it. I did my my
Speaker 1: ring finger like that and then I had to take
Speaker 1: two of them together. But I'm catching the ball. I'm
Speaker 1: not throwing the ball right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Damn man, damn.
Speaker 1: And his accuracy is is is challenged when all when
Speaker 1: five fingers are perfect. Come on, I'm just being I'm
Speaker 1: just being truthful, oh Joe, And so I mean, oh
Speaker 1: jo man, you look you know, when when aren't going well,
Speaker 1: you need to be You need to be Everything needs
Speaker 1: to be right.
Speaker 2: Your body needs to feel right. I mean it's already
Speaker 2: a challenge.
Speaker 1: Because you know, O Joe, when you injured and you
Speaker 1: don't have that, you just don't feel like, oh bro,
Speaker 1: it's hard to get open, it's hard to cover people,
Speaker 1: it's hard to complete peak complete passes. Now imagine that
Speaker 1: you're knicked. It's just it's not a good look. I'm
Speaker 1: and I'm not. I hate to be labor it, but
Speaker 1: like I said, I just hope and like I said,
Speaker 1: they can break it down. And Kurt said what he said,
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel said what he said. The gentleman said what
Speaker 1: he said. But it looked like to me the quarterback
Speaker 1: blew it. But I'm hoping somebody else did. Maybe the
Speaker 1: offense is Linder should have held off a little longer.
Speaker 1: I got to try to put it on somebody. Ojo
Speaker 1: he did, he he gapped it. Who eased it down?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this guy run the fathers I'm making.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like on pump Protection. You make the
Speaker 1: guy that's the father's the way run the featheres to
Speaker 1: block the punt. I don't want to give anybody inside
Speaker 1: because they're closer to the punter.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: That's tough, man, that's tough. That's a that's a that's
Speaker 3: you don't want to start the season off like that.
Speaker 1: No, you don't want to get injured.
Speaker 3: Yeah at all.
Speaker 1: That's the last thing you did. You're trying to because
Speaker 1: you're not gonna play a whole lot, o Joe. You're
Speaker 1: gonna play ten snaps, maybe fifteen snaps.
Speaker 2: Damn. But I get nicked on ten to fifteen.
Speaker 3: Snaps, That's crazy.
Speaker 2: I think we've we've hit out enough for Yoe. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase made the best of their
Speaker 1: first preseason game of the season. Joe Burrow nine of ten,
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three yards, two touchdowns, chase four
Speaker 1: catchers seventy seven yards a tubod you saw it.
Speaker 3: Listen, Joe look good. Outside of that Aaron pass the
Speaker 3: T Higgins. That was a little high. But that's fine,
Speaker 3: that's fine. Is I will take. I will take what
Speaker 3: I just saw today. If we can do that next
Speaker 3: if we can do that next week as well. Get
Speaker 3: acclimated to the speed of the game. Get yourself ready,
Speaker 3: get in rhythm, because I don't care how much you
Speaker 3: practice the team going against yourself. When you play on
Speaker 3: game day, it is completely different. Let's be ahead of
Speaker 3: the curve this time this season. Okay, we done got
Speaker 3: our feet wet. We know what to expect, we know
Speaker 3: what it's going to be like. I understand Burrow. Okay,
Speaker 3: when I have to process a little bit faster, Okay,
Speaker 3: I got to get this ball out a little bit faster.
Speaker 3: I gotta anticipate a little bit better. It may be
Speaker 3: instead of having to do that and find all those
Speaker 3: things out and try to find that rhythm week one,
Speaker 3: when it's two goddamn late. No reason we should have
Speaker 3: lost to the Patriots last season Week one, as bad
Speaker 3: as they were collectively as a team. We shouldn't have
Speaker 3: to rely on anybody else towards the end of the
Speaker 3: season in December, relying on them to lose a game
Speaker 3: so we can make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you don't take care of your business.
Speaker 1: Now you're you're hoping and wishing somebody else do your
Speaker 1: job for you.
Speaker 3: We won't have that problem here. I guarantee you that
Speaker 3: we are one in eleven, one in eleven.
Speaker 1: I mean you like what you saw a little bit
Speaker 1: of time there and that I just want to he hey,
Speaker 1: I don't care. Look, I want to score, but I
Speaker 1: want us to be sharp. I don't want penalties. I
Speaker 1: don't want mistakes. I want us to go in there. Ay,
Speaker 1: we got ten plays, we got fifteen plays. I wanted
Speaker 1: those plays.
Speaker 3: To be creep clean, and they were Chris. They were Chris.
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, we digging down to the goal
Speaker 3: line had uh. It was it was under it was
Speaker 3: a tripping, it was a it was a low it
Speaker 3: was a low block, but he kind of fell, but
Speaker 3: he put the ref in the position with the ref
Speaker 3: had no choice but to call it because Mems was
Speaker 3: engaged with the d n or with the with the tackle.
Speaker 2: Actually, oh you call so he called a chop block.
Speaker 3: They called the chop block. But actually the guard fell
Speaker 3: and he went low and it looked like he put
Speaker 3: the ref in the back position. He didn't have a
Speaker 3: the call. We still scored on that possession, right, Quincy,
Speaker 3: He looked good. But of offense is the problem. Offense
Speaker 3: is the problem. We know we can score, we can know,
Speaker 3: we know we can put up points. Yeah, problem is
Speaker 3: on the deepen the side of the ball. Yeah, if
Speaker 3: we score thirty five, can we keep the other team
Speaker 3: from scoring thirty six and thirty seven?
Speaker 2: That's the y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'all scored, y'all scored fourteen, gave up seven, and then
Speaker 1: the second quarter you gave up seventeen more. Tanner McKee
Speaker 1: with twenty of twenty five, two fifty two and two touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Hey, Tanne McKee, Tane McKee, I heard you. I heard
Speaker 3: the grights about your offensive Madden rating. You look good tonight.
Speaker 3: You look very good tonight.
Speaker 2: Now not good? Well? Backups ain't complaining about no ratings.
Speaker 3: No, hey, they complained about the rating. If you look
Speaker 3: at my timeline, you probably don't look at the timeline.
Speaker 3: But chat, if you look at the timeline, you will
Speaker 3: see everyone talking about mckinne performing tonight and asking me
Speaker 3: to raise his rating based on what he's done in
Speaker 3: the preseason.
Speaker 2: And he's dead.
Speaker 3: He said in the clipping practice, Oh that's what my
Speaker 3: rating is. Okay, Well watch what I do on game day.
Speaker 3: And he went out there and actually showed out. He
Speaker 3: literally went out there and showed out tonight. It looked good.
Speaker 3: But I have a question. Do you credit what he
Speaker 3: did today against twos and threes and fours and other
Speaker 3: people trying to make the team as a reason to
Speaker 3: raise the rating.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, No, because guess what he's playing with
Speaker 1: twos and threes and fowards and he's going against twos
Speaker 1: and threes and fowards. Okay, So that that I mean
Speaker 1: if Lane Johnson wasn't in there, if my a Loot
Speaker 1: wasn't in there, if Jergens wasn't in there, and Dixon
Speaker 1: wasn't in there, if aj Brian and Davante and sat Quan.
Speaker 1: So what we're talking about here, did they play the night?
Speaker 1: Let me cook, Let me click on this and see
Speaker 1: what they got going on.
Speaker 3: That's that's a. That's a good question. That's a good
Speaker 3: question because I see all the people tweet me and
Speaker 3: I didn't know how to answer it. Is a player really?
Speaker 3: Is it really justifiable? And to raise someone's raising based
Speaker 3: on what they do in the preseason.
Speaker 1: No, I don't see I don't see none of the
Speaker 1: names that I that.
Speaker 2: I don't see a J. Brown.
Speaker 1: I don't see Davante, I don't see Saquan. I don't
Speaker 1: see Jalen Hurts. Right, So he's going against He looks
Speaker 1: like he's going against the competition that did did your
Speaker 1: starter to play?
Speaker 2: Hold on? Oh? Yo?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do realize your defensive starters played, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played. They played the first two series.
Speaker 2: And you happy with that? Oh?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'm just checking.
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: No, oh Man McKee twenty twenty five against your starters.
Speaker 3: I don't know, But I don't know about all that. Damn,
Speaker 3: don't don't do that.
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
Speaker 3: I don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he did get a touchdown on the field
Speaker 1: goal against your starters. He got ten points. That ain't
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, that's not Davonte, that's not a j and
Speaker 1: that's not that massive, that mammoth offensive line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are, we sure? Are we sure? It was
Speaker 3: our starters that were in once McKeen is McKean. I
Speaker 3: don't want to Butcher's last name McKeen, right, McKeith, Oh, McKeith. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't really pay attention to what
Speaker 3: we did defensively, who was in defensively. I just was
Speaker 3: more concerned and making sure we came out offensively, explosive, clean,
Speaker 3: and we were just at those first two series.
Speaker 1: Look, let's not tell, let's not make a mountain out
Speaker 1: of a mohill is the preseason.
Speaker 2: The preseason is.
Speaker 1: To get an opportunity for your guys to go on
Speaker 1: and bang on somebody, hit somebody that's not there, that's
Speaker 1: not their teammates.
Speaker 3: Pause pause, pause pause, Come on, tight though, man, but
Speaker 3: go ahead.
Speaker 1: It's an opportunity for you to tackle block someone that's
Speaker 1: not in your uniform. Yes, sir, that's not in your
Speaker 1: locker room that you're not going to go sit in
Speaker 1: and dine in the hall and sit next to and
Speaker 1: Kiki key with. This is your opportunity to do that,
Speaker 1: like what you're going to do in an actual game
Speaker 1: in the regular season.
Speaker 2: So this is the first chance.
Speaker 1: So you want to see how your guys handle that
Speaker 1: because they haven't done this before. Your rookie is a
Speaker 1: lot of some of your first year players had never
Speaker 1: done this before in a meaningful situation like this, OJO,
Speaker 1: So I.
Speaker 2: Want to see how they handle it.
Speaker 3: Mm HM.
Speaker 2: College is one thing.
Speaker 1: NFL is something entirely different, So I want to see
Speaker 1: did they have how did they handle the.
Speaker 3: Moment completely different? I think I think for the most part,
Speaker 3: based on what I saw defensively, obviously there are things
Speaker 3: that need to be fixed. You get back, you get
Speaker 3: back tomorrow, watch and watch film and see some things
Speaker 3: need to correct. You're playing one of the better teams,
Speaker 3: one of the better well coached teams, is that, which
Speaker 3: is why I think the second and third stringers for
Speaker 3: the Eagles looked as good as they did against our defense,
Speaker 3: and you got to tighten it up. As far as
Speaker 3: stuff that there's to build onto. Offensively, you continue to build.
Speaker 3: You continue to continue to build on what we did tonight.
Speaker 3: Now come the second game. I don't know who we
Speaker 3: played the second game in the preseason, but I'm hoping
Speaker 3: the starters again once again Joe and Chase and t
Speaker 3: and Zach a little bit more to get another two
Speaker 3: series three Yeah, bingo, get get get three series. You
Speaker 3: know if if, if you can, then the third game,
Speaker 3: everybody shut it down. Yeah, everybody shut it down and
Speaker 3: get ready for Week one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree, I agree with that approach.
Speaker 1: The thing is, oh, Choe, the reason, the reason why
Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything complex. I want to
Speaker 1: be simple because I want my guys to play fast.
Speaker 1: I don't want to thinking, bro we got this is.
Speaker 1: This is as simple as you're gonna get. This is
Speaker 1: steam rice, this is broccoli, This is grilled chicken. That's
Speaker 1: what this is. This is no seasoning, this is nothing special.
Speaker 1: This is no added time, no extra anything. I just
Speaker 1: want you guys to play fast. This is what we do.
Speaker 1: We're gonna call defenses that will allow you to play fast.
Speaker 1: We're gonna call an offense that's gonna allow you to
Speaker 1: play fast. I want to see you play fast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there'll be a time that. Okay, we're gonna add a
Speaker 1: little bit more now, o Joe, We're gonna ad a
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, you want a little season on
Speaker 1: this thing. I'm gonna give you a little seasoning. Yeah yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: now the third game, your starter is not gonna play. Okay, guys, see,
Speaker 1: I mean I like to me, oh Joe, I like
Speaker 1: that third game because we play four games. I like
Speaker 1: the third game because we treated it like a regular
Speaker 1: season game. And you come out at the half. What
Speaker 1: you do, because you come out at the half, you
Speaker 1: go right back in there. Hey, offense, there you are. Okay, defense, offense,
Speaker 1: be ready. Defense, you up first to get you in
Speaker 1: the mood of coming out of the game and coming
Speaker 1: out at halftime and having to go back into the game. Everything,
Speaker 1: that's it. Whatever we do in the preseason, O yoe.
Speaker 1: All this is doing is prepared us for the regular season.
Speaker 1: It's giving us a dress rehearsal for the regular season.
Speaker 1: You're gonna run, You're gonna run packages. We're gonna run
Speaker 1: a We want to look at, you know, short yardage.
Speaker 1: We want to look at our twelve personnel. We want
Speaker 1: to look at our eleven personnel. We want to look
Speaker 1: at our empty package. We want to look at our
Speaker 1: jumbo package. You want to look at gold line. We
Speaker 1: want to look at a lot of different things. And
Speaker 1: so we're gonna give us, give you an opportunity in
Speaker 1: the three games that you're gonna play. We want to
Speaker 1: try to put you through as many situations that's gonna
Speaker 1: come up in the regular.
Speaker 2: Season as we possibly can.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we just want to get it on film, Mojoe.
Speaker 1: We just want to get it on film. Nothing, nothing major,
Speaker 1: But I just want to see what it looks like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you and you know what's funny. You know
Speaker 3: that I also like about the preseason is it's football
Speaker 3: in its simplest form and its purest form. We line
Speaker 3: up and then just smashed mouth football.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: No, no, like you said, no seasoning, no creativity. We're
Speaker 3: not scheming for the Eagles, the Eagles, aren't. We just
Speaker 3: lining up and playing football. Can you get out there,
Speaker 3: make the blocks you need to make? Can you stop
Speaker 3: stop the court, stop the receivers. Can the receivers get open?
Speaker 3: Just just it's just normal football. Can you do that
Speaker 3: at a high level and consistently?
Speaker 2: That's all That's all I want to see, Ojo.
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence says he wants Travis Harder to play more offense.
Speaker 1: You say, selfishly, yeah, I if they want him on
Speaker 1: our offense more, I told him do you want to
Speaker 1: see you want to come catch touchdowns or do you
Speaker 1: want to maybe break up a pass or to a game.
Speaker 1: That's the decision you've got to make. Of course, as
Speaker 1: a quarterback.
Speaker 2: I hope he plays more offense.
Speaker 1: Travis was asked how difficult has this been to work
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. It's not hard at all,
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest. The first off day that we had,
Speaker 1: I came back and did both sides, and that's the
Speaker 1: thing that got me. That got to me. After that,
Speaker 1: I've been good. Travel will play both sides in Jacksonville's
Speaker 1: preseason game against the Steelers. That won't answer Davante's whether
Speaker 1: Doc playing got a high level be cause flow, like
Speaker 1: I said, he gonna have basic defense on when he's
Speaker 1: playing the corner, You're gonna have basic plays on our offense.
Speaker 1: But look, until we get to the regular season, oh Joe, right,
Speaker 1: And until he has to play both sides, Until he
Speaker 1: plays both sides of the ball, we're gonna be watching
Speaker 1: the level at which he plays. That's what we can take.
Speaker 1: I think you and I and a lot of people
Speaker 1: are agreeing agreeance. Yeah, he can play both sides, but
Speaker 1: what's the level of what you're gonna play at because
Speaker 1: football is about levels, especially when you're the number two
Speaker 1: are to pick in the draft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you know that. You know what I like them,
Speaker 3: what you like his confidence? Huh? The fact that he
Speaker 3: believes he can do it. That's where everything starts with
Speaker 3: in the beginning, anyway, the belief that I can do something,
Speaker 3: having the confidence that I can do it, and putting
Speaker 3: the work in to be able to do it. And
Speaker 3: then not only does he have the goddamn confidence, he
Speaker 3: also has a skill.
Speaker 1: Set, has the end he has the instincts to be
Speaker 1: able to pull it off on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3: Now you get a small sample size of that. Now
Speaker 3: you've done it in practice. Doing it in practice is
Speaker 3: one thing. Hell, you know what's coming half the time,
Speaker 3: you know it. They know what you're doing. But how
Speaker 3: you're gonna look in the preseason game you get a
Speaker 3: small symbol size. You're not scheming for anybody. You have
Speaker 3: joint practices. But again on game day, Chad, I don't
Speaker 3: know how to explain it to you. It's just different.
Speaker 3: It's just different. There's been some times in practice I
Speaker 3: feel like I'm running fast as hell, and I get
Speaker 3: in the game, and I'm moving, but it feels like
Speaker 3: I'm running in the sand, but I'm not. It just
Speaker 3: feels like I'm heavy. It just feel but you know,
Speaker 3: And I go back and I watch it and I
Speaker 3: go come to the side. I ask you, I say you,
Speaker 3: I don't know what's wrong, but it feels like I'm
Speaker 3: running slow. And he would look at me like, nah,
Speaker 3: it's not like it's not that you just don't feel
Speaker 3: like you do in practice because it's a game. The adrenaline,
Speaker 3: everything's moving. You know, you're playing fast. Okay, you sure? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm good. But it's different. So I'm excited to see
Speaker 3: not how he doesn't practice. Yeah, that's one thing. When
Speaker 3: do they play? When When do the Jaguars play?
Speaker 2: Saturday?
Speaker 3: Saturday?
Speaker 2: Saturday?
Speaker 3: Okay, hey, they played? You know, I might go, please
Speaker 3: have Mester Jacksonville. I might shoot down to the game.
Speaker 2: Where's the game? Man? Please?
Speaker 3: Please say it's in Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: It's in Jacksonville.
Speaker 3: Say less. Now, I got something to do. I got
Speaker 3: something to do. I could I could watch that right
Speaker 3: up and close in person. Okay, Ben, Hey, I'm excited. Man,
Speaker 3: that's gonna be nice.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, but it's it's it's gonna be He's gonna
Speaker 1: have to be locked in, yes, for the entire of
Speaker 1: the game, you know, a quarterback. I'm only locked in
Speaker 1: when i'm you know, I guess what, y'all. I ain't
Speaker 1: worried about what the defense do it. I ain't paying
Speaker 1: I'm not even paying attention to the defense, right, I
Speaker 1: got my responsibilities. He's never in a situation where he
Speaker 1: doesn't have responsibility.
Speaker 3: I think I think he's gonna be alright. Though, I
Speaker 3: think gonna be al right. I can't. I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: It's like I'm almost like a kid the night before Christmas,
Speaker 3: the excitement that football is here.
Speaker 2: That is happy.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm but then knowing, Okay, we got a dynamic player,
Speaker 3: an individual where everyone's doubting what he can do.
Speaker 1: You know, No, no, no, they're not what he can do.
Speaker 1: They doubting he can do it at the level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they know he could do it.
Speaker 3: So that's that's the part that makes me excited. That
Speaker 3: that that that has me excited. Let's see if he can.
Speaker 3: Let's see if he can. It's no different than the
Speaker 3: Canelo and Goddamn budd fight. That's coming up on again.
Speaker 3: Got me feeling like a little kid at Christmas. You
Speaker 3: understand how great Canelo is. We understand budd is going
Speaker 3: up two way classes against someone who is a slugger
Speaker 3: heavy he how's it gonna play out?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: What's up? What?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: Listen? Man, if I had your hands, I cut mine off.
Speaker 3: What that's about?
Speaker 2: It all right? Without it?
Speaker 1: For the Ado, he was a former seventh round draft
Speaker 1: pick out of the us USC. Played two season at USC,
Speaker 1: played two seasons at Colorado. The sun legendary, the all
Speaker 1: time great, the Goat receiver Jerry Rice Brandon. How you doing, man,
Speaker 1: I'm good boy, I'm good man. Thanks for coming on, bro.
Speaker 4: I appreciate you most congratulations you and your brother both
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame. Man, that's huge.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that, man, Appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Earlier this week, the quote was Rice is coming off
Speaker 1: his best practice in the Charges uniform. Sunday, he caught
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and eleven on eleven, Lance attempted another fade
Speaker 1: to Rice.
Speaker 2: Rice jumped over.
Speaker 1: The corner Leonard and made a contested catch for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: You admit that you understand that I'm in a battle.
Speaker 1: I mean they ain't a whole lot of receiver spots available.
Speaker 1: It might only be one, and it might be two
Speaker 1: or three guys vying for that one spot. What have
Speaker 1: What has been your mindset coming into camp and what's
Speaker 1: been your mindset once you got into camp.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I've chased competition my whole life. So being in
Speaker 4: a battle never, it's never something new to me, especially
Speaker 4: dealing with like it's always adversity. There's always another thing
Speaker 4: that's coming upon you, and it's just how you go
Speaker 4: ahead and tackling each and every day.
Speaker 3: Hey, I got a question for you young boys, the
Speaker 3: pressures of having to live up to the legacy of
Speaker 3: your father. How have you been able to deal with that?
Speaker 3: Obviously having a father that is known as one of
Speaker 3: the greatest, and the pressures of you most of the
Speaker 3: time people expecting you to be and follow in his
Speaker 3: footsteps and be just as great as he is. Has
Speaker 3: it been any type of pressure on you to kind
Speaker 3: of get out of the shadows of Dad and create
Speaker 3: your own own way in a sense.
Speaker 4: Pre privilege?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that I got to write that down.
Speaker 2: Hold, Oh shoot, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Put that in my notepad. Say it again. What was
Speaker 3: that what you said.
Speaker 4: Pressure is a privilege. Yeah, I got the last name.
Speaker 4: You know. Shoot, I've dealt with it my whole life.
Speaker 4: All I felt was pressure. All I dealt with was
Speaker 4: people commenting. And you know that's what it is when
Speaker 4: you're in the spotlight. Especially when my dad did. He
Speaker 4: was super humble about how he approached certain things, put
Speaker 4: the work in each and every day. You gotta respect that.
Speaker 4: But I'm my own person as well.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, if you could have
Speaker 1: a conversation with your Door, because we understand that his
Speaker 1: father is coach Pryme and there's always even though he
Speaker 1: didn't see the thing with you, the pressure is because
Speaker 1: you played the same position as your dad.
Speaker 2: Your Door didn't play the same position as his dad.
Speaker 2: But what advice would you give him?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I have no advice to give him. The Door
Speaker 4: got his head on straight. He knows how to go
Speaker 4: ahead and be that I would have to say that
Speaker 4: public figure in the media and how to go over
Speaker 4: ahead and handle certain things. The dude is awesome and
Speaker 4: it has been terrific ever since he was at Jackson
Speaker 4: State to Colorado man and how he carries himself and
Speaker 4: how that whole family is just structured. It's awesome to see.
Speaker 2: The news came out.
Speaker 1: I think it was official yesterday that Keenan Allen returned.
Speaker 1: He spent it, He spent all but one year there.
Speaker 1: He left last year, went to the Bears, had a
Speaker 1: phenomenal season. Now he's back, and you know, like damn
Speaker 1: it did bring it back for a reason. I mean,
Speaker 1: there ain't no sentimentality here that hey, they feel he
Speaker 1: can still play. But you but you understand. I'm sure
Speaker 1: your dad has told you that. You know, he got
Speaker 1: to where he got because of hard work, discipline, and dedication,
Speaker 1: and so you expect that, like I'm gonna come in,
Speaker 1: I'm competing for jobs. I understand that my last name.
Speaker 1: People are not gonna keep me on the team because
Speaker 1: of my last name, because he's not out here catching passes.
Speaker 4: Honestly, Yeah, man, like he already has just shown that
Speaker 4: he's that leader in the group. Off rip. You know,
Speaker 4: he's an old head. I'm giving him a little crap
Speaker 4: talking and everything. You know, both of y'all old heads too. Shoot,
Speaker 4: But just the way I've seen him go ahead and
Speaker 4: position himself and he's not coming in demanding anything of everybody.
Speaker 4: He's coming in, putting into work just like us. And
Speaker 4: I'm just watching his craft, the way he works and
Speaker 4: stuff like that, and it's something crazy, something that I
Speaker 4: haven't seen in like my whole career, my whole life anything.
Speaker 4: Even though yes my dad cool, I wasn't I wasn't
Speaker 4: of age yet, But like, just seeing that and see
Speaker 4: who he is just goes ahead and drives me to
Speaker 4: put myself in a position, handle myself in a correct role,
Speaker 4: put that work ethic in each and every day and
Speaker 4: let everything just let the dominos fall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one thing about when you put the work in,
Speaker 3: work in and this is just not this is life
Speaker 3: in general. No matter what people do, whether it be football,
Speaker 3: whether it be soccer, whether it be in the corporate world,
Speaker 3: when you put the work in the foosia labor, they
Speaker 3: always rise to the top. You always get paid dividends
Speaker 3: for the work you put in. And obviously we know
Speaker 3: you put in in all the work every time you
Speaker 3: step on that field in practice, whether it be the preseason,
Speaker 3: that's part of your resume. Yes, that's your resume. So
Speaker 3: when the opportunities do present themselves for you in LA,
Speaker 3: all you have to do is make the play. That's
Speaker 3: all they come down to. Can we count on brother
Speaker 3: rights to make the play when it's number is called,
Speaker 3: Whether we call your number five times, what do you
Speaker 3: call your number one time? Can you make that play?
Speaker 3: And once you take care of that part of your
Speaker 3: what your end of the bargain, there's nothing else you
Speaker 3: can say. May the chips ball where they make Brandon.
Speaker 1: Every time you step on the field, just remember you're
Speaker 1: auditioning for thirty one other teams. The Chargers are not
Speaker 1: the only one pay players. There are thirty one other
Speaker 1: teams that film. That's that's your that's your yo, yo,
Speaker 1: your your tape is your resume. Yes, and so you
Speaker 1: just make sure that every time you step on that field,
Speaker 1: you make sure you update that resume. They say you're
Speaker 1: supposed to update your resume now every six months, but
Speaker 1: in sports you get an opportunity to update it every day,
Speaker 1: every other day, once a week. You make sure that
Speaker 1: when you step on that field, you putting that resume
Speaker 1: out there for thirty one other team. Hey I'm the Chargers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got first change, you got first crack at this.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you first a first opportunity to buy this.
Speaker 2: But if you don't, Yes, sir, that's that's how.
Speaker 1: That's how you have to approach it every even when
Speaker 1: you year two, when you in year three, when you're
Speaker 1: in year four, it does not matter. Because all I
Speaker 1: want is if somebody get tired of me, I want
Speaker 1: somebody else want me.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm yeah, hold on, hold on, say say that
Speaker 3: again with somebody what I got. I gotta put it
Speaker 3: in my notes because they ain't got.
Speaker 2: But you got.
Speaker 1: Oh Joe, you know how it is someone doesn't want you.
Speaker 2: You want someone else to want you. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: oh Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. I like it.
Speaker 1: Hey, Brendon the big news out of training camp today,
Speaker 1: Rashaun Slater signed a massive contract. Offensive lineman rushed this
Speaker 1: for tell attendant. What was the mood of practice? I mean,
Speaker 1: because obviously you don't know the severity of it. You
Speaker 1: just know he goes down, he's in grimacing in pain,
Speaker 1: and if I'm not mistaken, I think I read they
Speaker 1: carded him off the field, But you don't know the
Speaker 1: severity of it. Now you know the severity of it,
Speaker 1: What was the move when it happened? What was the
Speaker 1: mood around the team?
Speaker 4: Around the team, everybody just kind of gasped, I would
Speaker 4: I just have to say immediately said a prayer for
Speaker 4: him after. You know, he's one of those guys that
Speaker 4: handle business off and on the field and carries himself
Speaker 4: in such a manner. Rashaun Slater just in the time
Speaker 4: being around him, he is nothing but being greatness. Honestly,
Speaker 4: he's great at everything he does. And shoot, the worst
Speaker 4: part about it is as a team, as a unit word,
Speaker 4: we're in the next man up mentality, even though that
Speaker 4: definitely is gonna hurt us, but we got to move
Speaker 4: on and push ourselves to the next episode. We can
Speaker 4: hopefully win the super Bowl this year.
Speaker 1: Look, you were there, you've been there for two years
Speaker 1: and you've seen Justin Herbert phenomenally talented athletic, but like people,
Speaker 1: the criticism that he gets is that big games and
Speaker 1: winning in the playoffs. What's the biggest misconception that's portrayed
Speaker 1: about Justin in the media that you can say straight like,
Speaker 1: it ain't like that.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I have no misconception and stay even at dress
Speaker 4: this dude literally had it came into the hall of
Speaker 4: the other day breaking us down. He's like, honestly, I
Speaker 4: have nothing to say to y'all, I'm tired of speaking.
Speaker 4: Let's just win this damn super Bowl like straight like
Speaker 4: that and the Dudey's phenomena. I kid you now, I've
Speaker 4: seen him make some crazy throws, but I've never seen
Speaker 4: somebody like this in my life. Just the way he
Speaker 4: carries himself and everything. Yeah, yeah, y'all gonna see y'all
Speaker 4: just prepare yourselves.
Speaker 3: Hey, I got a question. The fact that you play
Speaker 3: receiver son to the grateful receiver of all time, but
Speaker 3: when it comes to studying the craft, the artistry, when
Speaker 3: it comes to route running today, who would be your
Speaker 3: top five receivers in today's game? And whose film do
Speaker 3: you watch and try to steal bits and pieces from them?
Speaker 4: Okay, number one, I'm dead when we go on Julio.
Speaker 4: I watched Julio like crazy. That's a good one, Yeah
Speaker 4: for sure, just from my archetype and everything my body right,
Speaker 4: and the way he's able to break down, get in
Speaker 4: and out of routes. It's beautiful him. Calvin Ridley, Oh
Speaker 4: of course I watch you, big dogs. Yeah, just so
Speaker 4: we know it would be like a twenty pound difference.
Speaker 3: Waitt, I'm too, I'm too twenty right now, right now,
Speaker 3: when you played when I played out of like one sevente.
Speaker 4: Exact, yeah, gave me three so far, A J Brown
Speaker 4: for sure, crazy and my last one I would have
Speaker 4: to go to Brandon ayuk Ooh that's a one.
Speaker 3: When it comes to your style of play, are you?
Speaker 3: Are you one that enjoys and welcomes contact like a
Speaker 3: like a Julio and and the AJ Brown Like if
Speaker 3: somebody touched me, the play is over. Like I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not getting off. I'm just saying, all
Speaker 3: you one that can play through contact and it is comfortable,
Speaker 3: allowing hands to be put on you, being able to
Speaker 3: put you know, pulling tug and do stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Of course. Of course, shoot, context is my friend.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm bigger in the weight room, benchmore.
Speaker 4: I do all that type of stuff a little bit differently,
Speaker 4: So I want to go against certain corners. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: my friend. But of course, no receiver like being touched now.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, And and for me that was that was
Speaker 3: my weakness. I know what my weaknesses were. Contested catches.
Speaker 3: Don't do it. I'm gonna lose every time, which is
Speaker 3: why I had no choice but to create the type
Speaker 3: of separation I did when I played because I suck
Speaker 3: at contested catches fifty fifty balls, Dude, I can't do it.
Speaker 3: I suck at fifty fifty balls. Now everything else I'm
Speaker 3: good at. But my coach is understanding my weaknesses. Never
Speaker 3: put me in those positions to what I was exposed. Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: that's though. That's dope. Here though, that's dope. That's dope.
Speaker 2: Brendan.
Speaker 1: Did you find obviously Jerry being your dad and everybody
Speaker 1: knows what he means and meant to the league and
Speaker 1: how great he.
Speaker 2: Was, did he put pressure on you or did you
Speaker 2: want to play?
Speaker 1: Did you just want to play football and just happened
Speaker 1: to gravitate towards that position.
Speaker 4: Well, to be honest, off, rip, Me and my pops
Speaker 4: didn't have the best relationship growing up. Okay, so football
Speaker 4: was my gateway. It was my out and that and
Speaker 4: Christ himself man like the way, I just went ahead
Speaker 4: and developed into the game and took it as just
Speaker 4: my It was my escape from reality. And even though
Speaker 4: we yes I'm playing the same position, everything felt as
Speaker 4: though I was getting closer to him by playing the
Speaker 4: game of football. And then I went ahead and put
Speaker 4: so much work into my craft and studying the game
Speaker 4: and everything like that that all I wanted to do
Speaker 4: was get better, get better, get better, and hopefully, I
Speaker 4: don't know if there is one, be the first father
Speaker 4: son due on the and a hall of fame just
Speaker 4: like yo, man, shoot hopefully.
Speaker 2: H U s C big ten. You like the chances
Speaker 2: this year? Come on now, come on, man, come on,
Speaker 2: we we bleed that. Come on, fight on bad, y'all.
Speaker 1: They do too best fighting on though, Brandon, last couple
Speaker 1: of years, y'all have been fighting on. Y'all been trying
Speaker 1: to fight them off.
Speaker 4: You know, they always knock you when you're down. Man,
Speaker 4: It's okay, It's okay.
Speaker 3: Should yeah, hey, you know you know what I want.
Speaker 3: I want to ask about Lad McConkie's lad. I called
Speaker 3: him Ladarius. I'm at yeah, I'm called you Darius McConkie.
Speaker 3: Is he is he as good as advertised based on
Speaker 3: what we see on Sundays?
Speaker 4: He's better, He's better the things that y'all see on
Speaker 4: sun Days or just a glimpse of his greatness and
Speaker 4: what he is put into the game. I saw this
Speaker 4: dude go over here justin through a beautiful ball on
Speaker 4: just a you know, a deep cross and he did
Speaker 4: a late hands between two defenders and it was nasty.
Speaker 4: Man from his route, running his technique. How he carries
Speaker 4: himself each and every day. Yeah, he des only saw
Speaker 4: a glimpse.
Speaker 2: He's special.
Speaker 1: Well, Brendan, thanks for stopping by giving us a few
Speaker 1: moments of your time. Best of luck, stay healthy. Hey
Speaker 1: remember thirty one others to watch it.
Speaker 3: Watch hey, don't forget man, come come hot, Let you
Speaker 3: boy a minute receiver wide receiver workshop next year.
Speaker 4: Man, Man, I'm trying to get him work in sooner
Speaker 4: than that. I'm seeing you some tape over soon.
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, send it to me. I listen.
Speaker 3: I've had a lot of a lot of players. I
Speaker 3: don't want to say no name because I got in
Speaker 3: trouble last year. DeVonta Adams sent me some one on
Speaker 3: one film and I was so excited he got in.
Speaker 3: He got in trouble. Oh shoot, I was like, why
Speaker 3: you posing? But man, send me some stuff.
Speaker 4: Man, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 2: A best of Luke Man, stay healthy. Thank you all right, bro,
Speaker 2: appreciate you.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Oh, Joe Roma Doomsay has an incredibly high ceiling for
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. ESPN Jeremy Fowler reported Roma Doomsay told me
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams can literally be the best quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 1: O Joe, can you see Caleb making that big.
Speaker 2: Of a jump?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? I can see him making that big of a
Speaker 3: jump simply because of the person that's calling the plates.
Speaker 3: I can see him making that kind of jump simply
Speaker 3: because of the person that's calling the plays. Ben Johnson
Speaker 3: is phenomenal. If you see what's able to do with
Speaker 3: Jared Golf right and the tools that Jared Golf had
Speaker 3: at his disposal, how can I get the best version
Speaker 3: of Jered Golf? You understand what he has around him
Speaker 3: and how to put the players in position to their strengths,
Speaker 3: and you go from there. He can do the same
Speaker 3: thing with Kayler william because Kayleb Williams has all the tools.
Speaker 3: We saw the magic at usc y limps of what
Speaker 3: he can do with the Bears last year. Now he
Speaker 3: got DJ Moore, You got a Doomsday? You got Comet?
Speaker 3: Did I say that right?
Speaker 2: Cole Comet?
Speaker 3: You got Comet, Man, They're gonna be all right. He
Speaker 3: knows what Kayleb was great at He knows his strengths,
Speaker 3: he understands that, and you just make the play calls.
Speaker 3: With the creativity that he adds to the offense. That's
Speaker 3: why Room was able to say what he did about
Speaker 3: Kayleb being one of the best in the game of
Speaker 3: to day.
Speaker 1: Packer's offensive coordinator Adam Stenovich was asked last week if
Speaker 1: he liked Jordan Love to run a little bit more. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Stella Bitch said bluntly, I think it's a huge weapon,
Speaker 1: and Jordan has that ability to make some big plays
Speaker 1: down the field. We encourage that for sure. Loved ranked
Speaker 1: thirtieth in quarterback rushing the TEA today. Love said he's
Speaker 1: going to run more this season. I think every game
Speaker 1: that there's a couple of options or instances where I
Speaker 1: could have took off and run.
Speaker 2: You look back and you're like, man, I could have
Speaker 2: took off and run. Excuse me.
Speaker 1: A little bit is just understanding what the defense is doing,
Speaker 1: what coverage we're getting, how the d line might be
Speaker 1: playing some of those games where they start twisting and
Speaker 1: doing different things, Understanding where holes in the pocket might
Speaker 1: be and have the opportunity to step up and eskate
Speaker 1: and then just understanding that maybe sometimes maybe not go
Speaker 1: back to the checkdown right now, maybe take an extra
Speaker 1: second to final lane, get out there and create an
Speaker 1: opportunity with your legs. So I think half and half
Speaker 1: with the injury and then some understanding of where those
Speaker 1: times are to take off and use your legs.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 3: I like it, it's cool. But there's a reason why
Speaker 3: he was thirty in the NFL and rushing on, yeah,
Speaker 3: was the reason. Have you seen that Effan's receiving core
Speaker 3: over there reading Hickson watching and hold on, hold on
Speaker 3: now now, Golden, I mean, man, listen, there's really no
Speaker 3: reason to run because there's so many viable options when
Speaker 3: you're throwing the goddamn ball. There's a reason he was
Speaker 3: thirty in rushing last year. Can't he do it in
Speaker 3: certain situations? Being add is a dual threat. He can
Speaker 3: run these not the slowest, you know, slowest quarterback in
Speaker 3: the league. Yes, he can do it when he needs be.
Speaker 3: He's a dual threat in the sense, but when you
Speaker 3: had that kind of weaponry around you, there's no need
Speaker 3: to have to run, you don't. They gotta goyd by
Speaker 3: one team an underrated young receiving corps. Right, run for
Speaker 3: run for what when you got all that?
Speaker 1: But you want to, you know, keep them mind this
Speaker 1: because you know o ya, I set my defense, but
Speaker 1: I know you're not gonna run. I'll play certain coverages
Speaker 1: I want I want every I want you to. I
Speaker 1: want you to. You have to worry about that. You
Speaker 1: see what happened when Patrick Mahomes started taking off. Now
Speaker 1: they couldn't defense it anymore. Now he'll take it. He
Speaker 1: don't want to run, but I tell you what, he'll jump.
Speaker 2: Through the cra right.
Speaker 1: Just have that ability. Look, we're not asking you to
Speaker 1: be Lamar. You don't need to be Lamar. You don't
Speaker 1: need to be josh Allen. You don't need to be
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. But there are times there are times.
Speaker 3: Who just sprinkle it in a little bit, sprinkling it
Speaker 3: in there that the partially Parson.
Speaker 1: That's that is all you have to do, just enough
Speaker 1: to have so the defensive coordinators say, hey, we need
Speaker 1: to close that off. Well, if I'm thinking about closing
Speaker 1: that off, I'm not just thinking pinning my ears back,
Speaker 1: thinking about getting to the quarterback, because now I have
Speaker 1: to rush with a little bit more respect. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: you want those d livelars because they're respect you.
Speaker 2: They come get you.
Speaker 3: Hey, ears pinned back.
Speaker 1: See, you just can't just you just can't willing they
Speaker 1: just go back there.
Speaker 2: Oh I better knock Lamar's head off.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, oh oh oh.
Speaker 1: I better tell Josh up. Okay, you mess right and
Speaker 1: run past him if you want to. And he jump
Speaker 1: out the wind on you.
Speaker 3: You be mad. You won't catch him to like ten
Speaker 3: fifteen yards down the field exactly.
Speaker 2: So I think that's a situation. I mean that's what
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 1: He said, Look, I just got to understand the coverage
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Okay, they twist somebody vacate, and our
Speaker 1: offensive line do a great job of picking it up
Speaker 1: and pushing somebody past. There's an escape, hatch, I might
Speaker 1: as well take it. Yeah, sure it might come open,
Speaker 1: but let me go and get this easy team right now.
Speaker 1: We come back to it. Yeah, now, because the coach,
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell him, Son, you can't do that. You
Speaker 1: can't get out your lane, you can't get pushed, you
Speaker 1: can't get washed that far down, you can't get that
Speaker 1: far up field. Now he's thinking about a whole lot
Speaker 1: of other things as opposed to just come.
Speaker 2: In and get me right.
Speaker 1: He who hesitators beat time, whether you play offense or defense.
Speaker 1: As an offensive player, I'm trying to make the defense hesitate.
Speaker 1: As a defensive player, I'm trying to make the offensive
Speaker 1: player hesitate. Well, if I can just go out there
Speaker 1: with no hesitation on Joe.
Speaker 3: Woo right, listen, he'll have those opportunities if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3: They go from open a lot to the opening, they
Speaker 3: run spread a lot. He's in the gun a lot.
Speaker 3: Obviously he is under center. If I if I have
Speaker 3: the statistics or the percentage in which they go from
Speaker 3: the gun, I think it's more than being under center.
Speaker 3: I think on third down would be we'll probably be
Speaker 3: most of the times where he would be able to
Speaker 3: be a dual threat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, Yes, Yes.
Speaker 3: The first thing he canna do is they gonna play man,
Speaker 3: unless they want to bless him, They're gonna play man,
Speaker 3: and everybody gonna have a back turn and you'll be
Speaker 3: able to use your legs, and that that would be
Speaker 3: advantageous for him. In adding that arsenal being a dual
Speaker 3: threat and just running a little bit more.
Speaker 2: And plus they don't expect it. Mm hmm. I mean
Speaker 2: on third down, thirdy like, I gotta play it, I
Speaker 2: got I can't. I just can't.
Speaker 1: Arbitrailer willy nilly, because Lamar gonna get that, Josh Allen
Speaker 1: gonna get that. Tellen HR's gonna get that. They're not
Speaker 1: looking at Jordan Love as one of those one of
Speaker 1: those door threat quarterbacks. So he has the element of surprise.
Speaker 3: You know who has it too? Speaking of quarterbacks, that
Speaker 3: is not even a surprise anymore, especially off of what
Speaker 3: he did last year. Jamee Dais.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but see Harry O. Joe the Man, Oh Joe
Speaker 1: the Man wasn't the Heidsman Trophy. You know, he got wheels.
Speaker 1: He ain't got no.
Speaker 2: Element of surprise. He ain't got an element surprise.
Speaker 1: You trying to make him beat you from the pocket,
Speaker 1: and then you say, you know what if he beat
Speaker 1: me from the pocket, Oh Joe, he can run for
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. I mean it's like, you know, guys
Speaker 1: like Lamar and guys like Josh Allen, they can run
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards. Jane Danieus can run for one
Speaker 1: hundred yards. You just can't just like, oh yeah, he
Speaker 1: can beat you with his legs.
Speaker 2: The thing is is like.
Speaker 1: When Brady used to have the ball off on thirty one,
Speaker 1: you clap, I'd rather running back have the ball than
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I don't giving damn who the running back is.
Speaker 1: That's Tom Brady Peyton manning hand the ball off like
Speaker 1: thank you Jesus. So Jane Daniels with the ball up
Speaker 1: on his arm, No, I want to I'd rather you
Speaker 1: throw it right.
Speaker 2: Who gonna tackle it in the open field? O joke?
Speaker 2: Good luck getting him down? Now?
Speaker 1: Hit them, hit them, broke the line of scrimmage. And
Speaker 1: you think the first guy to see him gonna get him.
Speaker 3: Down because it's always gonna be someone on the second
Speaker 3: level and they are not good in open space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the second level. Try to hope I got an
Speaker 1: anger so I can push him out of bounds. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be in the middle of field with him.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be between the numbers with him.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. And he got a two, he got a
Speaker 2: two way go mm hmm. I'm good, right, I'm good.
Speaker 3: When Whendam Broncos played, That's what I don't want to
Speaker 3: know when when y'all.
Speaker 2: Play all I know we made the playoff last year? Y'all?
Speaker 2: Who playoffs?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think if.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't know nothing something, you wouldn't know nothing about.
Speaker 3: Last year made y'all made the playoff last year, Right,
Speaker 3: but then you end up in the same play You
Speaker 3: ended up in Cancun with us just a week later.
Speaker 2: Right, we got an extra check. We made more money, y'all.
Speaker 1: Did you know a little playoff check that you know
Speaker 1: that hey, oh Joe got to keep it for about
Speaker 1: a month or two.
Speaker 2: The more playoff check they.
Speaker 3: Hit, Yeah, they nice, they nice. So hold on, are
Speaker 3: you saying are you suggesting? Are you suggesting based off
Speaker 3: what you saw the small sample side that you saw
Speaker 3: from my Bengals to night? You really think that the
Speaker 3: Broncos is gonna be better than us offensively? Oh?
Speaker 2: Joe?
Speaker 1: I saw what about you think based off that sample size?
Speaker 1: I saw your defense, y'all gonna be better defensively?
Speaker 3: I mean, from based on what I saw what I
Speaker 3: saw tonight, we can put.
Speaker 2: Up forty a game. Huh.
Speaker 3: I think we can put up forty a game based on.
Speaker 2: Give up forty three.
Speaker 1: Let's see how saw you put up I saw Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow throw for four hundred and lose. I saw it
Speaker 1: throw for three seventy and lose. I saw you score
Speaker 1: thirty eight and give up forty one. I saw you
Speaker 1: give up score thirty four and give up thirty five.
Speaker 1: So what you're talking about? So what you're saying.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a new year, right you talking about
Speaker 3: what we did last year?
Speaker 1: You know if it's still say, okay, tell me the
Speaker 1: improvements that you made defensively. Your best defensive player has
Speaker 1: yet to get on the field.
Speaker 3: Oh, here'll be there, he'll he'll be he'll be there,
Speaker 3: he'll be there. But we're gonna be better than y'all.
Speaker 3: I can tell you. I can listen. I can tell
Speaker 3: you that right now. And I hope I hope when
Speaker 3: the Broncos do play, I hope bo Nickson in the offense.
Speaker 3: I hope they get out there for a full quarter two.
Speaker 3: I hope they do.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about what we do. See there you go,
Speaker 1: you worried about us. I'm just I'm listening. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just We're just talking football, that's all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. All I know is that our defense
Speaker 2: is better than y'alls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, now I can give that. Now, listen, I
Speaker 3: can give that. I'm a man, I can be a man.
Speaker 3: I can be really about myself and living reality. Your
Speaker 3: defense is better than ours, it is.
Speaker 2: That ain't saying much. That's like saying water wet.
Speaker 3: That's not necessarily, that's not necessary. There's no need to
Speaker 3: take a shot at my team.
Speaker 2: Like that shot at your team. I just tell the truth.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm saying the Broncos defense is better than
Speaker 1: the Bengals, Like okay, shan and like, wow, you really
Speaker 1: went on a limb on that one.
Speaker 3: Okay, but our offense is is twenty times better than yours.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far. But your office is better. Yes,
Speaker 1: your quarterback is better than ours. Your receiver there better
Speaker 1: than ours offensive line.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You can go either way. Yeah yeah, but do we.
Speaker 1: Play Ballace is out and that's why the game was
Speaker 1: so close last year because it balances out because our defense.
Speaker 2: And that was a rookie. Bo Nick's not gonna make
Speaker 2: those mistakes that he made last year.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, we don't play all this year? I'm assuming right.
Speaker 2: No, I think we do again. I think so mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. You want to put someone in that game or.
Speaker 1: Know until you put fifty in our hundred in my pocket.
Speaker 1: I don't want to bet you no more. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I'm about to stop talking to you.
