00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 2: Podcast Network. My name is Stephen and I am the

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: host as always, and have a very special episode planned

Speaker 2: gonna be a really nerdy, coach heavy episode. So we

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: thought who better to come back on the show than

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: mister Sean Said, who joined us to talk about Kellen

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: Moore earlier in the off season. Sean, thanks so much

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 2: for taking the time again, man, How you doing.

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: I'm doing awesome.

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 4: I appreciate it so much once again, and wow, we

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 4: don't have to look at training camp clips. We don't

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 4: have to, you know, see who's in the best shape

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 4: of our life. We don't have to break down any

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 4: more preseason film. We have made it and it feels

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: it feels absolutely incredible.

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 5: It does feel absolutely incredible.

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: I cannot wait for I mean, we're two days away

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: from an NFL game being played, and a few short

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: days after that for the Chargers and the Dolphins game

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: being played as well. Joining us as always is my

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: guy Tyler. Tyler, what's up man? How you doing? Great man.

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 6: Our first episode on this Chargers channel was before the draft,

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 6: and everything's.

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 5: Really awesome in the draft and yay.

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 6: Then it was just summer and we had eighteen episodes

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 6: of just like stuff in the middle of summer. And

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 6: again you're like, everyone's in the best shape of their lives.

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 6: It's amazing how good in shape. All these guys are

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 6: the best shape of their lives. But now we'll see

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 6: what kind of shape they're in. Football is here. I'll

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 6: be there on Sunday.

35
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 5: I'm stoked.

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cannot wait for this game. It's a game

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: where I think if you study film and you are

38
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: into schematics and you are into data, this is kind

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: of your super Bowl and it's in. It's happening in

40
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: week one and I cannot wait to dive into it

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: with Tyler and Sean before we get started. As always,

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: Tyler and I are fans of the team first and foremost,

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: just like you guys are are very fortunate to have

44
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: this platform, but the opinions that we express on this

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: show and every week on this show are not always

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: reflective of.

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: The Charters organization.

48
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Like I said, very grateful to be here and happy

49
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: to kick off week one with Sean before we really

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: dive in here with Sean, I think it's important to

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: really kind of set the stage of why this coaching

52
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: battle is so important heading into week one and the

53
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 2: kind of tone that it can set for the rest

54
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: of the season. You know, if you look at the

55
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: kind of metas that are around the NFL these days,

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: it's a lot of vic Vangio disciples, and it's a

57
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: lot of Kyle Shanahan disciples, and these two coaches, Brandon

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: Staey and Mike McDaniel, have really kind of taken their

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: own twists off of their background. So Sean, I want

60
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: to start with you, how have you seen Brandon skate

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: Brandon stay take the vic Vangio defense and maybe molded

62
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: into his own vision over the past few seasons as

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: the Rams defense of coordinator and of course the Chargers

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: head coach.

65
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: I think I just think Brandon Staley is an exceptional,

66
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: exceptional defensive game planner.

67
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: I really really do.

68
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: I like his philosophies of defense, particularly the way that

69
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: he approaches pass coverage, and I think some of his

70
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: blitz designs are really really good. I like the way

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: that he's gotten the Chargers DBS to match routes. I

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 4: think they have a really deep thir downbag, and they

73
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 4: forced quarterbacks to play after the snap. In today's NFL,

74
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: you can't. You cannot just sit back in one coverage

75
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 4: alignment all day. Quarterbacks have gotten way too good at

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: processing board before the snap, and offensive coordinators they just

77
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: understand how to break the rules of coverage better than ever.

78
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: And Staley's pass defense, right, they end up in the

79
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: top ten last year. I think that's for a reason,

80
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: and I think that's certainly had at least designed to

81
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: thank in part. But I do know that a lot

82
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: of Chargers fans, you know, there is criticism for Brandon

83
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: Staley's defense, particularly in the run game. I think that's

84
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: it's a difficult problem for all defenses, right. I think

85
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: defense as a whole is an allocation problem.

86
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Right.

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: You could line up eleven players in the box and say,

88
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: you know what, we're going to stop every single run.

89
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: But then the team's just going to pass the ball.

90
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: And Staley's made it clear on the field that his

91
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: emas is designed to stop that explosive pass. But the

92
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: problem comes up when instead of those plays, you're seeing

93
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: explosive runs. And I don't think that's something that Staley

94
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: shies away from. You know, he said it in press

95
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: conferences that they need to do a better job. And

96
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: the question is going to be this year obviously, you know,

97
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: how are the Chargers going to be able to do that?

98
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone's like, well, you know, stop stopping these or

99
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 6: stop letting the explosive runs happen. Of course, like Brendessili

100
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 6: does not want those to happen. He invites to run

101
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 6: more so than the pass, of course, but he doesn't

102
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 6: want them to run. He wants them to run for

103
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 6: zero yards or negative yards if possible. This Dolphins game,

104
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 6: and you and tedj talked about this on I believe

105
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 6: it's stats and what is it stats in film? What's

106
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 6: it called stats in scheme?

107
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: There?

108
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 6: Does that that that particular episode pretty.

109
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: Much that's in film? Yeah, pretty close.

110
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 6: Excellent And you call this like the highest watchability game

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 6: of Week one.

112
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 5: There's so much going on here.

113
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 6: You watched last year's game and this was like the

114
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 6: game that a lot of guys, different guys point to.

115
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 6: Ted Winn had an article come out before the playoff

116
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 6: game against the Jaguars, like Brandon Staley is an elite schemer,

117
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 6: he's an elite defensive play caller. It's a fantastic scheme

118
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 6: and he's elite. He's he's a genius nuts sort of thing.

119
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 6: How do you get the Chargers? And I guess this

120
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 6: is the million dollar question. How does Brandon Staley get

121
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 6: the Chargers in this defense to consistently do this? There

122
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 6: are some defenses or teams across years, across years, or

123
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 6: even it's the entire season where you just know, oh man,

124
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 6: we're going to struggle against this team because their defense

125
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 6: is just historically or has been for several years.

126
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: A really really good defense.

127
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 6: Brandon Staley in this defense has shown again in this

128
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 6: Dolphins game the previous Dolphins game that they're so good

129
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 6: at doing so many things and can execute at such

130
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 6: a high level. How do you get them to do

131
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 6: that across an entire season? What is the next step

132
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 6: Brandon Staley might have.

133
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: To take this year?

134
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

135
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: You know, on a year to year basis, defense it's

136
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: so much more fragile than offense, right, I think if

137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: you track it out, you know, I don't pretend to

138
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: the stats guy first, but if you look at it

139
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: from year to year, your offense is more likely to

140
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: have kind of a similar high end result if they

141
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 4: did the previous year, and the kind of opposite. And

142
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: on the defense event, right, coverage is a fragile thing

143
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: where you know it's really just inches or the typical

144
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: ball that can lead to an interception, which is such

145
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: a huge swing. And I really think defenses they are

146
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: helped by being you know, you're in the same system

147
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: year after year.

148
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Right.

149
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: I think there were early hiccups with the Chargers in

150
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: that first year and the defense system, it's not the

151
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: easiest to learn, right. Part of it is that we

152
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: need to get you know, Staley's personnel in there. That

153
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: is a really big thing where it's a safety that

154
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: you have to learn how to watch, how routes express

155
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: it in a bit of a different way. And seems

156
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: like every year, right, Chargers get a little bit of

157
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 4: bad luck with injuries, but you know, coming in this year,

158
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: let's keep all those edge guys healthy. I think that

159
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: is such a big difference in the run game, whether

160
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 4: it's something you have your kind of random TfL that

161
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 4: you weren't expecting because mosta just beats it gam I

162
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: think that's something that's so possible against the Dolphins and

163
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 4: it's hopefully possible a week tweak. I think figuring out

164
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: that nickel spot right, whether it's weeked on a week

165
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 4: to week basis, you know, we want someone who's more

166
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: active in the run fit, someone who can really attack

167
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 4: that the ball in the backfield and make those sorts

168
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: of plays, or maybe it's you know, certain downs we're

169
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: going to get more of a pass coverage player. I

170
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: spent a lot of time just watching the explosive runs

171
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 4: that the Chargers let up last season to see.

172
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: Okay, well, how do you troubleshoot this?

173
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: Right?

174
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: I think that a lot of times people at the

175
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: start where at least in good positions, right, because one

176
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: thing would be awful. That's the starting point. Are we

177
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: just like lined up totally awful?

178
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: Right?

179
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: I think later in the season there was just better

180
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 4: intier defensive line play, and I think run defense, unfortunately,

181
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: it's a really cascading effect where if your interior guys

182
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: are getting beat a little bit, it makes the linebacker's

183
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: life harder because then the offensive lineman can climb the linebackers.

184
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: Now a linebacker has to fight off a person, and

185
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: there were a lot of runs where it just ended

186
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: up with an incredibly athletic running back in space with

187
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: full steam at a defensive back. But towards the back

188
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 4: half of the season, I do think, you know, especially

189
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: and Joseph Day, I think he played a lot better

190
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: that interior defensive line they had Steely as creative and that,

191
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: like you said, Stealely doesn't want to let up these runs, right,

192
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 4: He's not asking and telling the offense, Hey.

193
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: You guys, just run all over as much as you can.

194
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Right.

195
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: So against the forty nine ers, against the Titans, they

196
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: had different fronts where they have two defensive linemen really

197
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: clogging the kind of the a gaps both sides of

198
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 4: the center, and that makes the center's life harder. It

199
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: they have the ability just to blitz into different fronts.

200
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: So even if you don't have a certain type of personnel,

201
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: Britton Staley has shown just a cool ability to say, look,

202
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: we don't have you know, Vince wolferk in at the nose,

203
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: but we can you know, send a linebacker there and

204
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: mess with the offensive line in different ways. So, you know,

205
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: consistency is going to be the question. And it may

206
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: just be that I like to see the good new people,

207
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: but I think Stalely has so much good to him,

208
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: and I hope that they can build off that back

209
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: half of last year going into this year.

210
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioning the defensive tack room. I think that's

211
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: a super important point that we have tried to emphasize

212
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: on our show across a few episodes, whether it was

213
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, the draft conversations where certain draft analysts wanted

214
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: the Chargers to draft Siaka Ika in the first round

215
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: or like Mazzie Smith and their first and it's like, no, no, no, Like,

216
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: defensive tackle is not the problem you guys, Like the

217
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: defensive line was was solid last year. Of course I

218
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: would love to have a young guy like a Quinn

219
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: Williams or Chris Jones or whatever, but the Chargers have

220
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 2: solid pieces up front and where they got into trouble

221
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: last year was that edge rusher spot opposite of Khalil Mack.

222
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: And then you mentioned the secondary pieces as well.

223
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: So you know, we'll we'll tackle this from a personnel

224
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: standpoint on our own channel later this week. But Sean,

225
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: in your opinion, like, how do how does Brandon Staley

226
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: maybe overcompensate for some you know, subpar personnel that you've

227
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: seen in the last couple of years.

228
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well the Dolphins game was I think one of

229
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: the best examples where he I think he really really

230
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 4: got his players bought in on a game plan, right.

231
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 4: So the Dolphins example, I just keep I keep that

232
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 4: one in mind. I feel like over so many whether

233
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: it's a flaw or whether it's a bad result for

234
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: the Chargers in any sort of way. And I think

235
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: that he can simplify things when he needs to, where

236
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 4: his system of figuring out Okay, well the second receiver

237
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: is releasing a certain way after this many steps, Now

238
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: I need to pass my guy off of somewhere else.

239
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 4: Against Miami, he made that a lot simpler, right by

240
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: playing heavy man coverage in different ways. So I do

241
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 4: think that really has a good ability to figure out

242
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: all right.

243
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: Well these are the pieces I have left.

244
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: And you know, defense, it's not always about what you

245
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: want to do a lot of times it's about what

246
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: you have to do. So I'm hoping the injury bug

247
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: doesn't hit you guys the same way that it always

248
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: has because obviously you have Derwin James. Hopefully he's healthier

249
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 4: for a full season. And you know, we talk a

250
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: lot about positional versatility on the defensive ends. Sometimes it

251
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 4: helps when that person is really good at one thing.

252
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: But Derwin James is good at a lot of things,

253
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: and hopefully he can help erase some things up front.

254
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: And I'm happy to see Eric Hendricks and I watched

255
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: him a lot with the Vikings last year. I think

256
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: he still has juice left in him. So the ability

257
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: to bring in guys, you know, continue the system again

258
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 4: another year, just get that by in again and again

259
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: and again. And it seems like, you know, people emerge

260
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: for the charges, right, you got new cornerbacks coming in

261
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: year after year that you just hopefully see more success

262
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: from them.

263
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

264
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 6: Really curious, and we'll dive into in various scene. Really

265
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 6: curious if Brandon Steely has for this offense against the Dolphins.

266
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 6: I think he cranked up his stunt rate by about

267
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 6: five percent compared to the rest of the games throughout

268
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 6: that season. So we'll see what he's got. Does he

269
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 6: have to do that this game? I don't know, because

270
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 6: now he's got all his guys back.

271
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

272
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: So, like Tyler said, let's let's dive into this matchup

273
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: into the nitty gritty of these coaching schematics. Obviously, I

274
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: feel like most people were kind of surprised that the

275
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 2: Dolphins hired Mike McDaniel. You know what, he hadn't been

276
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: with you know, an elevated you know title.

277
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: In San Francisco for very long.

278
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Of course, he had followed Kyle Shanahan for quite some

279
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: time and was kind of known around the NFL as

280
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: this run game guru that was working with Kyle Shanahan.

281
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: And then he gets to Miami and they're not really

282
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: running the football a whole lot. Sean, what did you

283
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: kind of see from his first step as a play

284
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: caller as a head coach down there in Miami last week?

285
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: The Dolphins were just one of the most exciting offenses

286
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: to watch last year, especially when they're full of healthy

287
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 4: under Mike McDaniel. And as you said, you know, he

288
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 4: comes from that Shanahan tree. He did a great job

289
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: of taking the roots of that offense, which you know,

290
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 4: a lot of it is a credit in the run game.

291
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: And like you said, you know, I think he had

292
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: a really high pass rate over expectation because he just

293
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: super charged the whole entire thing with Tyreek Hill and

294
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: Jayleen Wattle while forming it around his quarterback strength. So

295
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: same way, I think that Staley has a good job

296
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: defensive game planning. I think mcdaniell understands these are the

297
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 4: pieces that I have, and this is how I make

298
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 4: the most of him. And he did that by making

299
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 4: it attract me for teams, right, they used that kind

300
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: of fast motion at the snap to get into stacks

301
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 4: at full speed. It scared defensive backs off, it opened

302
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 4: up space underneath, and they were even able to get

303
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: to some of the more classic Shanahan play action concept

304
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: from shotgun instead of under center, which has been really

305
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 4: really hard for teams. When Tua played in rhythm, he

306
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 4: played really really well. Teams backed off Hill and Waddle

307
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 4: as they probably should, right, I wouldn't want Tyreek Hill

308
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: running full speed at me. I think that the Dolphins

309
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: were happy to take advantage of that underneath space. But

310
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: the problem that defense is that presented to a lot

311
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 4: of offenses where you stay in those two high shells

312
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 4: and you wait as long as possible to get out

313
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: of that and show your rotation. The Dolphins solved that

314
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: with speed and aggression their creative motion. It forced teams

315
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: to back out of the press or, it made them

316
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 4: show their rotation a lot earlier, and it put the

317
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: Dolphins into a place where they could play pre snap

318
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: where two a good point and shoot a lot of

319
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: times where he'd go to his first read and didn't

320
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: have to worry as much about processing after the snat.

321
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 6: I feel bad for Tua because there's this he comes

322
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 6: into the league and he's not Herbert and he's not Burrough,

323
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 6: so automatically that's very tough for him in the comparisons.

324
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 6: And then there's a situation where that maybe the team

325
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 6: doesn't want him, so he has a couple of rough seasons.

326
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 6: Then finally he has a really good season. Mike McDowall

327
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 6: comes in and he puts up great numbers, the numbers

328
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 6: that you'd want from your franchise quarterback when he was healthy,

329
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 6: and all think is labeled is now is like, well,

330
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 6: it was the system. It was the scheme that did

331
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 6: it for him. So it's more like you can't win

332
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 6: either way.

333
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 5: What did you see?

334
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 6: I don't know how much Dolphins you've watched the last

335
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 6: few years, but like, what have you seen has to

336
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 6: himself legitimately improved how he plays from let's say the

337
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 6: previous year to last year or is it really just

338
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 6: the scheme did everything for him.

339
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that question is so tough because it's so hard

340
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: to pull apart, right, how can we pull apart the scheme?

341
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: How can we pull apart the quarterback? And just thinking well,

342
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: how many quarterbacks would succeed in the system. It maybe

343
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: that a lot would. But also you know the way

344
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: that Tua takes a snap and gun and snaps his

345
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 4: head one way and is able to get the ball

346
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: out with such anticipation so quickly. There are a lot

347
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: of strength that Tua has. Now, of course, you know

348
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: I would agree and that you said that, yeah, Tua

349
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: is not justin Herbert, because a lot of quarterbacks aren't

350
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: justin Herbert. He is incredibly unique and you guys are

351
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: incredibly lucky to be rooting for him every single week.

352
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: So I do think that Mike McDaniel understood. Okay, you know,

353
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 4: maybe Tua does have some limitations, but Tua still was

354
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: more than happy to drive the ball down the field.

355
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: He just did it in rhythm.

356
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: He did a little bit quicker than I think some

357
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: other people would do.

358
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: So I like Tua. I think this is really the.

359
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: Year where we can maybe decide defenses have seen a

360
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: little bit more from them. The Chargers put out sort

361
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: of a blueprint, but just a fantastically played game, and

362
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: you know, Ken twas start to hit some of those

363
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: outbreakers or can you start to play to his second

364
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 4: and third read in different ways where I'm optimistic for

365
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 4: TUA because particularly because I think so highly of Mike McDaniel,

366
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 4: But I'm sure Chargers fans are gonna want to see

367
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 4: something different on Sunday.

368
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, just hearkening back to that matchup last

369
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: season and also to the forty nine Ers game that

370
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: they had where the forty nine Ers really crushed them.

371
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: Obviously a little different. You have Fred Warner, you have

372
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa. The Chargers didn't have those guys healthy. Again

373
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: the Chargers, Bosa was already out injured. You know, the

374
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: defensive line was pretty banged up at that point. So

375
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: you look at how the forty nine Ers went about

376
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: that game, and everybody leading up to the theme was like,

377
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: well the Chargers don't have Fred Warner, Like how are

378
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: they going to do this? So revisiting that game, you

379
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: know what, what did you really see from how the

380
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: Chargers approached blitzing that that passing attack and kind of

381
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: staying away from the track meet.

382
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that the game plan versus the Dolphins was just

383
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 4: so fantastic, and I'm glad that you bought off the

384
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers game because it was so different than

385
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: that game where you make a great point Fred Warner

386
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: is he's just one of one, right, Not every team

387
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: has that kind of player. The forty nine Ers were

388
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: able to erase that intermediate middle of the field with

389
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 4: linebacker death, and that's something that's hard to do because

390
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 4: has said not everyone has Fred Warner. But Staley wanted

391
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: to avoid that track meat. Instead of backing off soft zones,

392
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: he pressed the Dolphins, which it's easy to say now,

393
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: oh yeah, like they pressed him, But that was really

394
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: revolutionary at the time because I don't think anyone really

395
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: thought of that. I don't think it made sense on

396
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: a chalkboard to say we are going to press this

397
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: incredibly fast receiver where there can be results like that

398
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 4: one long touchdown that there was just on that vertical ball,

399
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 4: but you know, not surprised to pay sometimes. I think

400
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: the Chargers did a great job of getting the Dolphins

401
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 4: into third and long and they just had a deep, deep,

402
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: third and long package. Whether it's different coverages while you

403
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 4: have different guys dropping out. You know, they did a

404
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 4: great shot with those safeties robbing down, taking away that

405
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: intermediate middle of the field. But the disruption aspect of

406
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: it was so so cool to see, whether it's pressing

407
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: on the backside of a route so to a can't

408
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: just snap his head around in play action and get

409
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 4: that throw. But then also as much as I love

410
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 4: to talk about scheme and x's and o's, you know,

411
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 4: those players played out of their minds. Some of the

412
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: DV players were awesome. I think how many times snap

413
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 4: after snap you're covering wattle and hill at full speed

414
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: is so difficult getting your hands on balls that I

415
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: think other teams weren't able to do. So a beautiful

416
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: combination of game plan execution, let's disrupt this and it

417
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 4: is absolutely something that I'm sure Mike McDaniel and tour

418
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 4: you know, they're watching over and over and seeing how

419
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 4: did they do this to us?

420
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 3: What do we do to get better against?

421
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, just going back to it the game and just

422
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 6: the numbers. I was looking at the third downs that

423
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 6: they faced and I was surprised that, you know, nine

424
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 6: out of eleven of the third downs they faced were

425
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 6: third and long and that's really a credit to what

426
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 6: they were able to do, yes against the past, but

427
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 6: also against the run. Now that they stop for the run,

428
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 6: I think they still ran for four yards to carry,

429
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 6: but they were able to limit what the Dolphins could

430
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 6: do on early downs to get into those third and

431
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 6: long situations. The Dolphins didn't face a third and shorts

432
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 6: like a minute and a half left in the fourth quarter.

433
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 6: So it'll be interesting to see what the Chargers can

434
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 6: do this game, because, like you said, scheme drawed up

435
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 6: whatever you want.

436
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 5: The players just flat out executed. I mean they were undermanned.

437
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 5: It should have been worse.

438
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 6: I think Steven and I both predicted a loss that

439
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 6: game because of the injuries. But these guys play played

440
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 6: out of their minds. So I really hope those guys

441
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 6: can do that again this week.

442
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

443
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: I think my biggest curiosity for you know, outside of

444
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: the scheme, is how does a Sante Samuel Junior in

445
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: the slot kind of factor in how this game unfolds,

446
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: because if you go back and watch that game, it

447
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: was a lot of Michael Davis on Tyreek Hill and

448
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: it was a lot of kind of you know, shadowing

449
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: the middle of Drew Trank one, Well, just hear Taylor

450
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: on Jayson Wattle and Asante just kind of roamed a

451
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: little bit and was able to make plays in the

452
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: coverage area. Now, theoretically like he's going to be the

453
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: one matching up with Jalen Wattle and maybe a J. C. Jackson.

454
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: We'll see what his status unfolds like this week. But Sean,

455
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: what would you kind of estimate You know, we'll talk

456
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: about adjustments here in a second, but like the idea

457
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: of a Santee in the slot, how do you think

458
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: that manifest manifests itself this week?

459
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's going to depend on what Miami

460
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 4: comes out with, right. I think that if you have

461
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 4: someone who's more of a past defender, where I think

462
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 4: Asana Samuel is very good in coverage. If the Dolphins say, hey,

463
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: we bought in Braxton Barrios, maybe we want to get

464
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 4: into more eleven personnel where it's just one running back

465
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: and one tight end and three receivers instead of how

466
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 4: they usually had it with two running backs, a tight

467
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 4: end and then just those two receivers. So it's going

468
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: to depend a little bit on does Miami see their

469
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: solution as hey, we need to get the ball out

470
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: quick or we need to get these checkdowns and kind

471
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: of run those over and over. Do we need to

472
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 4: get into our kind of our RPO game in different

473
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 4: ways where we have a run going one way and

474
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 4: maybe a bubble going the other way. So I think

475
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: it's something that Stale. He's gonna have to be pretty

476
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: fluid with it, whether it's Samuel is doing a great

477
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 4: job in the run game, he's not doing a great

478
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 4: job in the run game. Because I do think the

479
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: first answer that the Dolphins should toward move towards is

480
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 4: finding different ways to run the ball.

481
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is the one I really want to get

482
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 6: into in just a sec. Because you mentioned right after

483
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 6: the Chargers game and from that Bill's game on the

484
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 6: Dolphins just figured out how to run the football, and

485
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 6: I was curious, Okay, did they actually improve, you know,

486
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 6: is there any kind of adjustment there?

487
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 5: And I don't know what happened.

488
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 6: I'll let you speak on that, but the Dolphins went

489
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 6: from like twenty second and epa pri play rushing the

490
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 6: football to fifth just in after the Chargers game, like

491
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 6: they figured something out. And I'm really curious how they

492
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 6: test the Chargers this game, because you know, we talked

493
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 6: about Michael Davis and Tiger Kill and Jill and Waddle

494
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 6: and all that, but the Dolphins theoretically could just go

495
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 6: out and test the Chargers run game. Okay, Sante Samuel

496
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 6: Junior is now your starter in the slot. Yeah, I

497
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 6: think that that's a smart way to do it. And

498
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 6: it felt really interesting.

499
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 4: You know, you turn the bills film on that literal

500
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 4: next game first clip outside Zone Lee, Right, So it's

501
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: not to me. Maybe it's more that McDaniel said, Hey,

502
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: I have these absolute studs in Hill and Waddle. We

503
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: can run them downfield all day and I imagine know

504
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 4: if you have those shiny toys, sometimes it's annoying to

505
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 4: put them down and you know, play with something else.

506
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 4: So to get back into that run game where that

507
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 4: is I think something that McDaniel is so so good at.

508
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 4: So he just has an embarrassment of riches between this

509
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: really incredibly incredibly designed, an incredibly executed passing game and

510
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 4: a run game that I do think that we'll talk

511
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 4: about gap scheme in a little bit and the different

512
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 4: ways I think they will use it this year. But

513
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 4: it wasn't that they Yeah, they didn't change things overnight.

514
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: I would say against the Bills, for example, but it's

515
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: more of a commitment to things that were already in

516
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 4: their system that McDaniel.

517
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: Is so used to.

518
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 4: It's just I think offensive play callers probably are by

519
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 4: nature a little bit impatient, right, I would want to

520
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 4: throw a touchdown first down every single time. I think

521
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 4: McDaniel's sometimes had that approach, and where we always know

522
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 4: that passing is going to be more efficient than running,

523
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 4: sometimes taking that easy run is the right decision.

524
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the efficiency. It's it's gonna be really curious.

525
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: Seth Waller talked about this on Menachims podcast that early

526
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: down passing efficiency was like the lowest it's been in

527
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: like eight to ten years. I can't remember the exact

528
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: stat there, but passing efficiency is starting to come down

529
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: on early downs. It's still more efficient than running the

530
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: football according to EPA for play, But you know, both

531
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: of these offenses have talked so much about running the

532
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: football and being able to marry the run game in

533
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: the pass game. It's been the theme of the offseason

534
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: for both of these teams. From like a schematic standpoint,

535
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: to me, like the key to the Dolphins rushing attack

536
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 2: is probably Alec Ingold like, I think what he's able

537
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: to do for them is pretty similar to what the

538
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: forty nine ers have in uscheck. I don't think Ingold

539
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: is nearly the receiver that you check is.

540
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: But when the.

541
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: Chart, when the Dolphins get into that twenty one personnel

542
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: alec Ingle gives them a ton of options. I'm curious

543
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: to see how that you know expresses itself this week.

544
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

545
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: I think having a fullback that ken block is a

546
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 4: rarity in the NFL now, and it opens up your

547
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 4: run game in so many different ways. I think a

548
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: lot of the outside run outside zone runs are able

549
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: to be successful because if the defense adds a player

550
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 4: to the box, the offense can put that fullback there

551
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 4: and they're using their angles in different sorts of ways.

552
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: It's more of we can solve the problems of the

553
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: defense presents us in different ways. So we can have

554
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: our maybe our right tackle working at a different angle,

555
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: or a wide receiver on the outside kind of crack

556
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 4: blocking instead of sending our guard to kind of climb

557
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: to that person. So having a fullback is such a

558
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 4: thrilled it.

559
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: Is so fun to watch. I think we need to

560
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 3: be more into.

561
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 4: The run game and I'm gonna, you know, pound my

562
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: fist on the table all year for gap scheme runs,

563
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 4: particularly because it makes life so hard on defense. And

564
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: when defenses continue to as daily does, and I think

565
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 4: rightfully does, devote more resources to stopping the pass, you've

566
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 4: got to be able to get them off balance right balance.

567
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: In the NFL, it's not about passing the ball fifty

568
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 4: percent of the time and running the ball fifty percent

569
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 4: of the time, but it's if the defense is giving

570
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 4: us a favorable look, are we able to take advantage

571
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: of that.

572
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: It is very.

573
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 6: Difficult to find a full block. The Chargers just cut

574
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 6: theirs there is now on the Steelers practice squad, so

575
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 6: it's very difficult to find a really, really good blocking one.

576
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 6: Talk about that gap scheme, man, because I know you've

577
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 6: been excited to talk to talk about it on stats

578
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 6: end scheme. I got at this time you talked about

579
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 6: how it's not that everyone's shifting all the way back

580
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 6: towards gap right and from this outside zone and whatnot.

581
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 6: But there is kind of a retooling or remolding I guess,

582
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 6: of how the run game might go for some coordinator.

583
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 6: So talk about how the Dolphins might bring that to

584
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 6: this game and then why that would be so effective,

585
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 6: maybe in particular against the Chargers.

586
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: When we talk about gap schemer runs, we have power, counter,

587
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: trap and wham. You know, there's a lot of the

588
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 4: run that we'll see from the Lions, for example on

589
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 4: Thursday on opening Day, they can feel a little bit

590
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 4: more I think aggressive than a zone run. It's more downhill,

591
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 4: it's kind of more at you where for example the Chargers,

592
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 4: I think they'll be running more duo, which that's also

593
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 4: a more of a vertical attacking play, and a lot

594
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: of defenses now they're i think designed and defensive lineman.

595
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 4: They're playing their technique in a way to shut down

596
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: zone runs and zone run.

597
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: The NFL is a zone running leak.

598
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: It's maybe not always, but I think for the next

599
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 4: few years it has for the last while where inside

600
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: zone and outside zone those are the most common runs

601
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 4: and defenses. They are happier to play with lighter boxes,

602
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: you know, they have those two high coverages and they

603
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: want to kind of maybe string that ball out. They

604
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 4: want to get it to kind of it's called rolling

605
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 4: off the table where you can have a safety coming

606
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 4: down and clean that up. But that's a lot harder

607
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: when you have you know, your left tackle or Trent

608
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: Williams with the Niners does a great job. They're washing

609
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: down the whole entire front of the line. You have

610
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 4: that fullback kicking out the edge, and then the running

611
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 4: back is just able to get vertical. It's a different

612
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 4: skill set for a running back where when you're running

613
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: it's really hard. You're reading one gap at a time.

614
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 4: It's it's fuel based, it's timing based. You're not always right.

615
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: It's difficult, and in gap scheme, it's a lot of

616
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 4: times it's take the ball and run this to the

617
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: gap that we've assigned and get downhill right. It's a

618
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: more aggressive style of run that if your linebackers are

619
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 4: kind of rocking back or they're playing off the defensive tackles,

620
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: a lot of that doesn't matter when the defensive line

621
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 4: is are the offensive line is able to push the

622
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 4: d line vertical with those doubles, they don't have to

623
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 4: finesse in the same sort of way. And then there's

624
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: a question of are you going to load the box

625
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: then on defense, and now you've put the defense into

626
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 4: such a bind where we're not sure if we can

627
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: play the run with our light box, but they're running

628
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 4: over us for five yards to carry, So now we

629
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: have to get into something else that's gonna change.

630
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 2: Getting to that point about gap schemes, I think we're

631
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: seeing that come to fruition with the Chargers here in

632
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: Los Angeles too, where you know Killen Moore. If you

633
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: go back a couple of years ago to the Cowboys,

634
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: they were one of the league leaders in outside zone.

635
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: But with the Chargers, it's been a lot of aggressive

636
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: downhill concepts, a lot of duo, a lot of counter,

637
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: a lot of trap. And we talked to Joshua Kelly

638
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: about this a few weeks ago, and the running backs

639
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 2: are so excited about the changes because it just makes

640
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: things so much easier for them. So I think you're

641
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: going to watch the film of this game after Sunday,

642
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: Sean and be really really happy about the amount of

643
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: gap concepts that you're seeing.

644
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: I think on both sides for these teams.

645
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 4: That's really exciting to hear. I think that that is

646
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 4: exciting for the Chargers offensive line particularly. I think that

647
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: that offensive line unit is going to be so so good.

648
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: And I know maybe we're talking about the Dolphins offense,

649
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: but have to take a second to think about those

650
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: guys getting healthy, getting together, being aggressive in how they

651
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 4: attack defensive fronts, and it's going to be so fun

652
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 4: because the Dolphins defensive front is really, really, really good,

653
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: and being spoiled in Week one is just it's just

654
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: it's almost too rich. Right. We're not even used to

655
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: watching these full play games back to back to back

656
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: and thinking, oh, man, I want to watch the Dolphins offense.

657
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: I want to watch the Chargers offense. Just just be

658
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 4: incredibly excited for Sunday.

659
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited, man, I'll be there. Hopefully there's a win.

660
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 6: I'd love to drive home after a win and go

661
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 6: to work after a win. You've talked a couple of

662
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 6: times so far about these outbreaking routes and how the

663
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 6: Dolphins might lean into those more and how two maybe

664
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 6: needs to be better at those. Talk about why they

665
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 6: would lean into that more and how that takes advantage

666
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 6: of how the Chargers DB's played last time.

667
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 4: So the way that DB's were playing were on a

668
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 4: lot of the times when there was a stack release

669
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: and it was kind of a switch where receivers would

670
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 4: kind of cross each other. They would stay playing low

671
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: so closer to the line of scrimmage and then inside

672
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: closer to the ball. And McDaniel I think he noticed

673
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: that because they did run those outbreaking concepts at least

674
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: two times. I think where you see on film there

675
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: was one example where two ended up scrambling and had

676
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 4: a really nice scramble. But that route is open, and

677
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 4: it is open because the defense cannot take away everything, right,

678
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: No defense is able to take away every single angle.

679
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: A lot of times in Pascar, for example, you know

680
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 4: you're playing leverage.

681
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: You can't.

682
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 4: You're playing leverage hopefully to help in some sort of way. Right,

683
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: So a lot of times you'll play outside leverage because

684
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: you know you have and you're funneling them inside. But

685
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 4: Staley had the DB's do a really good job of

686
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: saying to a beat us on these outbreaking routes. And

687
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: I don't think the Dolphins were comfortable taking that, they

688
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: were comfortable calling it. But it is I think to

689
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 4: his benefit that he got to watch that tape last year,

690
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 4: he got to go through it, he got to think

691
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 4: about it for that long. So now coming back here

692
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: on Sunday, I'm absolutely gonna anticipate them at least calling

693
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 4: those deep outbreaking routes once, It'll be interesting to see

694
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 4: are the Chargers going to say, you know what, if

695
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 4: you can beat us with that, after we've taken care

696
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: of all these different things, you know, hats off to you, right,

697
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 4: We'll try and disguise you in a different way. We'll

698
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: play at around with leverages. But those outbreaking routes, especially

699
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 4: at the deeper level, where you're being threatened with hill

700
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: and waddles, verticality in so many different ways, that's what

701
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: was open base, just how the defense was playing them.

702
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 4: So I'm sure Staley knows that, right, he understood that,

703
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 4: and he said beat us this way and they didn't.

704
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 4: So maybe that, you know, if the Dolphins can manage

705
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 4: getting themselves into third and four way more often, this

706
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: isn't an issue in any sort of way. But for

707
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: the Dolphins during the year, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm

708
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 4: sure teams across the league were one studying the Dolphins

709
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 4: because what can we steal from them? What can we

710
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 4: learn from them? But then also, well, are you able

711
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: to hit that sort of concept, those kinds of routes

712
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: where you know, it looked like maybe you weren't as

713
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 4: comfortable doing it, And two has arm strength to make

714
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 4: those throws he really does for those specific throws he does.

715
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: So it's just a question of are they Charges going

716
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 4: to present that same sort of look, are we going

717
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 4: to force you to make the same sort of throw,

718
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 4: and can you make it right at the end of

719
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: the day, can you execute on what is being designed?

720
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is just the cat and mouse

721
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: of this coaching matchup is so interesting to me because

722
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: of what you've kind of outlined today for us. So

723
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: you think that the Dolphins are going to be countering

724
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: one way, Maybe they're going to be doing the same

725
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: kind of thing. I don't know, but what we know

726
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 2: about the Chargers is that they're gonna be healthier this

727
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: time around than they were against the Dolphins previously. So

728
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: taking into consideration what you think the Dolphins might be changing,

729
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: what you yourself might need to change, how do you

730
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: balance that if you're Brandon Staley of hey, let's do

731
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: what we know and what we trust versus let's maybe

732
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 2: be a little bit proactive against the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon.

733
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 4: I think that Staley is gonna have to continue to

734
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: be really flexible with his run fronts, and I'm glad

735
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: that they got games in against the Titans last year.

736
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 4: They got a game in last year versus forty nine ers,

737
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 4: and I wanted to make sure I watch those because

738
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: the question to me was, well, is Staley just sitting

739
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 4: back in one thing? You know, is he inviting the

740
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: defense to run constantly into the same exact looks?

741
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: And he wasn't.

742
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 4: Right, So he's more than comfortable getting heavier in the

743
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 4: box against certain teams and against certain looks. I think

744
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna be. It's sometimes tough just to line up

745
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 4: against the Dolphins because if they're in their two running

746
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: back one time end and then Hill and Waddle, if

747
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: they're in that personnel and can get to all of

748
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: these different things, that makes life so hard. But I

749
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: do think whether it's blitzing into different fronts where you're

750
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 4: kind of you're building a different front instead of lining

751
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 4: up in it, that's one way to do it. I

752
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 4: think that having those hard, hard edges with bos End

753
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 4: Mac is going to make a difference in the run game.

754
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 4: And then you know, I'm hoping for a lot from

755
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 4: Eric Hendricks, right. I know he's he's happy to be

756
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: back in his hometown in La So it's gonna be

757
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 4: a combination of we need to be versatile on the

758
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: defensive front, and that might mean hey, we have to

759
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 4: play man coverage again. But you know, the charges showed

760
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 4: they were comfortable doing that. So then it's you know,

761
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: it's football so beautiful because it's counter counter, counter, counter,

762
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 4: counter counter. We're just throwing punches back and forth. Whether

763
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 4: if the defense is comfortable, you know, now we have

764
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: to get into heavier boxes. Now the offense says, well,

765
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: that's going to open up more space for the receivers.

766
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: So I do want to focus on think of those

767
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 4: early downs. Are the Charges getting in different fronts against

768
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: the Dolphins run game? Are the Dolphins saying, you know what, well,

769
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 4: three chances of getting ten yards through the air and

770
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 4: seeing you know that back and forth and push and pull.

771
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: I think Mike McDaniel does a good job at the

772
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 4: start of the second half. You know, they'll have their

773
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: sometimes they'll just repeat plays or they'll have kind of

774
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: scripted their home openers, so we'll see what those adjustments

775
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 4: are in that in that short twelve minute halftime.

776
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is.

777
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 6: I'm very curious to see what they do here and

778
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 6: how they adjust or change or don't.

779
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I totally get even why you wouldn't.

780
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 6: I feel like Brandon Staley could go find a Sofi

781
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 6: stadium hot dog and sit in the seats with us

782
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 6: because he's got his all pro back and then his

783
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 6: other all pro back and the guy who paid eight

784
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 6: million dollars to play on the D line for and

785
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 6: the other guy who paid ten million dollars to play

786
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 6: on the D line four. Like, there was so much

787
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 6: missing that last game that I feel like Staley could

788
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 6: just run the same thing again and they'd be Okay.

789
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: What are the interesting.

790
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 6: Changes though, and we'll see how much it does change things.

791
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 6: Is that Joey Buzza has talked about gaining I think

792
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 6: it was like twenty something pounds or whatever it was

793
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 6: over the offseason. Morgan Fox last year talked about how

794
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 6: over the course of the season, when he had more

795
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 6: of a defined role, he naturally kind of look ut

796
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 6: the holidays, he said, gained weight. So like with Joey

797
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 6: Bosa gaining twenty something pounds or whatever, like, how does

798
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 6: that help? I know it's like to play the run,

799
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 6: of course, but in your eyes, why would that be

800
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 6: able to help them this game or really any game?

801
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 6: Throughout the season.

802
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: My hope with Joey Bosa is that he is able

803
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 4: to return to a top level as a pass rusher,

804
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 4: because that's where you know, if you're a defensive end

805
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 4: and you bring real, real pass rushing juice that Bosa

806
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 4: has in and that is the top end of it,

807
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 4: and that's that kind of tail end that you're hopefully buying.

808
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 4: I do think if you're stouter there, it makes it

809
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 4: easier to deal with those big tackles.

810
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 3: And you know, we see TJ.

811
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 4: Watt a lot of times he'll just throw a tight

812
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 4: end away and it feels like for the top end

813
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 4: defensive ends, it I think that they're insulted when the

814
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 4: offense kind of just has a tight end on them.

815
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: And I'm hoping to see we see it more often

816
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 4: this year where Bosa is just just dumping people and

817
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 4: able to get into the backfield and stop him for

818
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 4: zero or minus one. He absolutely has that ability. He's

819
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 4: shown it for sure. I think that I hope that weight,

820
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: you know, whether it helps him keep them healthy, whether

821
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: it's something that you know that solidifies him in his

822
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: core area. But I do think, you know, being able

823
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: to knock back those tackles a little bit because he

824
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 4: has so much lower body strength. So I think that

825
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 4: all of it combined, it's just is it hopefully better,

826
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 4: right Mike. I hope he doesn't lose any speed off

827
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: the edge. I don't think he will. I think just

828
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: being able to be healthy and being able to get

829
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 4: into his full routine is going to be able to

830
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 4: just let him jolt off the edge. And you know,

831
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 4: if it's sometimes where he flies up the field so

832
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 4: far that the running game gets in there, hopefully that's

833
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 4: balanced out by any sort of sacks. Because you know,

834
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 4: we can make predictions, we can think about it. What

835
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 4: if the Charges defensive line just washes the defensive the

836
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 4: Dolphins offensive line, the game's just over at that point.

837
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 4: It almost it doesn't matter how much scheme we want

838
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 4: to talk about, or how much, you know, how much

839
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: high love Mike McDaniel and what he puts out. If

840
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 4: you can't block those guys, you cannot get to what

841
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 4: you want to get to, and you're going to have

842
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 4: a really long day. So I know you guys are

843
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 4: really hoping for that, and throughout the season, I think

844
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: that's something that certainly we hope to see from Bosa.

845
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, yeah, you know, Tyler and I did

846
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: our NFL prediction show this past Saturday on our own channel,

847
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: and my big thing with the Dolphins is, like, all

848
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 2: of this is great. I do think that Mike McDaniel

849
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: is an above average play caller, but I don't know

850
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 2: how much I trust what they have along the offensive line.

851
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: Toront Armstet is already injured and he's potentially inactive in

852
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: this game. We'll see how that one kind of progresses

853
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: through this week. But to me, like this, this is

854
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: really going to come down to that matchup of how

855
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: the Chargers are able to get after Toua, get him

856
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 2: off of his spots, and I think that's really going

857
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 2: to be how the Chargers potentially win this game. Is

858
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: a big day from Joey Boson, Morgan Fox, Khalil Mack,

859
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: Sebastian Joseph Day against the run, because I think that's

860
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: their big advantage in this matchup, is the defensive line

861
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: versus the Dolphins offensive line.

862
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 4: And you obviously hope you know you have a supernova quarterback,

863
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 4: right the Chargers, it seems like they're built to play

864
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 4: with the lead and to close that lead. Right, I

865
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 4: think they're great in pass coverage. I think the numbers

866
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 4: show it out and the film shows it out just

867
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: beautifully with how dbs take care of routes, So you know,

868
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 4: whether it's something getting an early lead, you know, I

869
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 4: hope Kellen Moore's foot is on the gas pedal the

870
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 4: whole game, but particularly early right. I think that Chargers

871
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 4: fans have seen it that when you have a quarterback

872
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 4: like that, it can just blow the ceiling off of defenses.

873
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 4: And obviously you're hoping the new weapons on the offensive

874
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 4: side allow that pass rush to get more into it.

875
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 4: Whether it's hey, the Dolphins have to take more pass snaps,

876
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 4: We're going to get more chances with both end mac

877
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: with their hands in the ground.

878
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 3: That's going to hopefully lead to more sacks for the Chargers.

879
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 6: So how did the Dolphins manage to be a good

880
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 6: and consistent offense last year? Because the offensive line has

881
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 6: not been good When two has been the quarterback, it's

882
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 6: been a bit rough, and last year I wouldn't say

883
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 6: they were great either, and leading into this year, the

884
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 6: offensive line is.

885
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 5: Almost the same as it was last year. So how

886
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 5: did the Dolphins?

887
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 6: How did Mike McDaniel manage to get a good offense,

888
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 6: if not almost offense out of what they had given

889
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 6: their offensive line woes.

890
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 4: I think that the Dolphins did a good job manipulating

891
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: defenses in different ways. Whether it's that motion coming across

892
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 4: the field where the defensive end is unblocked, so in

893
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 4: that situation, you know, that is obviously dangerous for TUA.

894
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 4: But when you have that kind of quick inbreaker, they

895
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 4: would run it where they have someone running too the flat,

896
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: they'd have someone running a kind of a post, but

897
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 4: it would be like a glance kind of a short

898
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 4: in breaking a slant and a wheel behind it where

899
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: defenders would be unblocked. So you know, if you can't

900
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 4: block them, just don't sometimes, right, I think Dolphins did

901
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 4: a really really good job of that. But they also

902
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 4: were not bailed out. But they were able to rely

903
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 4: on Hill and Waddle in so many different ways, and

904
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: McDaniel had creative waste again to play action. I really

905
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 4: thought it was so cool the way they got into

906
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 4: their play action game from the gun. I think it

907
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 4: made their offensive lines life a little easier. They whether

908
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 4: a lot of times things. You know, we think of

909
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 4: Tom Brady where our guard's pulling in play action they had.

910
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 4: They did a good job where on the back side

911
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 4: of a concept where if we think about the goals

912
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 4: versus the Niners that I think it was maybe Hassan

913
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 4: Redick where he's on a tie end, he can just

914
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 4: dump him in play action where the Dolphins, they'll have

915
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 4: a guy on the backside peel instead, so it'll be

916
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 4: that backside guard kind of hinging and turning. So now

917
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 4: we have a guard on that player instead. So Mike

918
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 4: mc daniel is is incredible, and he is very very smart,

919
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 4: and he's very good at this. So and part of

920
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: that is shown as you said, you know, how did

921
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 4: they figure this out?

922
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: They were able to.

923
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 4: So whether it's through players, you know, stepping up a

924
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 4: little bit, but a lot of times, you know, the

925
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 4: assignments were made easier because I think McDaniel understood, well,

926
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 4: we maybe have a shortcoming here or shortcoming there, so

927
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 4: we need to make sure we're playing on time, we're

928
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 4: playing in rhythm. We can get to our first read

929
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 4: fairly quick, take advantage of that speed. And Staley saw

930
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: that and said, no, thank you and change it up for.

931
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love to hear that.

932
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: So again, like I said earlier, this coaching matchup to

933
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 2: me is so so exciting and not just this you

934
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 2: know matchup, right, you got Vic van Jie versus Kellen

935
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 2: Moore on the opposite side, which time and I dive

936
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: into a lot on our show on Thursday, Sean, this

937
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: has been great man.

938
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: We really appreciate your time.

939
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: We'll get you out of here with one more thing

940
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 2: and that is a final score prediction Chargers Dolphins.

941
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: What you got for us? All right?

942
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 4: So I don't love making predictions, but you know how

943
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 4: much I care about you guys, So I am you

944
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 4: know I come on this podcast.

945
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 3: You guys are so nice to me.

946
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 4: The Chargers are always great to me, and I'm going

947
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: to predict the Dolphins win. I got twenty eight to

948
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 4: twenty four. I think that McDaniel gets to punch back.

949
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: I just know that they have been in their dark

950
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 4: room watching over and over showing to a Hey, we

951
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 4: need to be able to hit these sorts of concepts.

952
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 4: I think they bought in new threats.

953
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: On offense.

954
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 4: They have Devin h and they're going to be more

955
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 4: than happy to attack running the ball, and it's going

956
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 4: to be on the Charges to adjust that. At the

957
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 4: same time, the Chargers obviously have. They have so many

958
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 4: paths to victory here. Right, the offensive line is going

959
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 4: to come back strong. We're gonna hopefully see Herbert continue

960
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 4: to take that next, next next step. Steve, I know

961
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 4: you like the defensive line from what you saw camp.

962
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 4: The defensive line they can just overmatch the Dolphins, right

963
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: and again, if Posa and Mac are just getting after it,

964
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 4: it does not matter what the counter punches are, because

965
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 4: you know, everyone has a plan until you get punch

966
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 4: in the mouth, and the charge of defensive line can

967
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 4: do that to you.

968
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 3: They can overwhelm you.

969
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 4: But with all that said, I think that Mike McDaniel

970
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 4: gets to punch back on this one. I have them

971
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 4: twenty eight twenty four. But I am more than happy

972
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 4: to be wrong. I am more than happy to get

973
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 4: get added in the in the replies and the comments

974
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 4: or whatever. I'm hoping that I'm wrong, and obviously hopefully

975
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 4: everyone goes out to sofa and has a good time.

976
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, negative engagement is still engagement, So I

977
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 6: appreciate all the extra comments you just got for our video.

978
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 6: I don't know who's still watching forty minutes in, but

979
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 6: I'm sure they have something to say, we will still

980
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 6: invite you back at some point, but if you know,

981
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 6: if you're right, then I guess we can invite you back.

982
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, this has been awesome. Hopefully you

Speaker 3: Just cannot believe this is week one.

990
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: This is like I can't overstate how big that the

991
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: Sales defensive game plan like shocked the whole entire film

992
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 4: world last year and it was so exciting, And you know,

993
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 4: I would have loved for this to be like Week twelve,

994
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 4: whether it's both, these teams just get so many reps

995
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 4: and reps and reps to figure these things out. But

996
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 4: we are truly spoiled and it's gonna be a pleasure.

997
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 3: I hope that. I just hope it's a great game

998
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: more than anything.
