1
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: All right, it's a Sunday night and the LA Chargers

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: just hired the seventeenth coach enfranchise history, Brandon Staley coming

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: to Coast to Mesa. What better person to bring on

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: than by buddy Eric Williams, who covered the Charges for

5
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: a number of years. It just so happens to be

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: covering the Rams now. E what's up, buddy? How you doing.

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm doing good, Chris. Good to see you and thanks

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: for having me. I appreciate it. I missed you on

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: the beat writers round tables. I'll tell you that I

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: know out there to kind of liven things up and

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: to give paper odd times I missed that. Yeah, absolutely well. Hey,

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: first reaction Brandon Staley, the new head coach of the Chargers. Yeah,

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: A little bit surprised, just with all the speculation and

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: all the things going around. It's not like we're gonna

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: be dable at least that was kind of the front

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: runner that you heard nationally. But just having been around

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, you know, for the better part of the

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: last five months and watching him, I wasn't surprised when

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: when you were able to talk to him. He's very charismatic.

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: He commands a room presidential and turns his presence, So

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: I think he kind of checks the box and turns

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: of that that head coaching CEO that you're looking for.

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: And then X's and os. I mean, number one ranked

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: defense in the league this year and only his first

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: year and being a defensive coordinator, So I think that's

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: very impressive. Um. I think one of the things that

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: stands out to me is the versatility of the defense

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: and ability to get the most out of the best players.

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: When you talk to Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald moving

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: them around the formation, and when you you watch those two,

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: I can't help but thinking about Joey Bosa and Durham

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: James and how he'll be able to move those two

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: chess pieces to get the most out of them defensively.

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: So the one question mark, you know what's gonna happen

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: on offense. You know who's going to come into the

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. That's obviously very important because you have Justin Herbert,

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: who I think is gonna emerge to be a top

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: ten but just the top five quarterback when you look

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: at the skill set and when he was able to

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: accomplish his rookie year. Who's going to be doing that

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: on the offensive side, because they kind of consider Brandon

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: Staley kind of the defensive Sean McVay at least, you know,

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: kind of the person that does what he does a defense,

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: what Sean was able to do on offense. And so

45
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: that's going to be important for um, for Tom clesco

46
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: and the spanis town Maid attempt to make sure they

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: have that figured out. Eric. This is a meteoric rise

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: too for a guy who just a few years ago,

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, you're the the outside linebackers coach for the

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Bears to go to the Broncos. Then you team up

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: with Sean McVay. Sean McVeigh. It seems like he saw

52
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: something in Staley that he probably sees in himself. This

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: kind of young, up and coming just kind of mad

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: scientist on the defensive end. Is that kind of what

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: you gathered watching the Rams this year? No, I think

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: that's definitely fair. Like you said, mad scientists willing to

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: kind of think outside the box and be innovative and creative,

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: a lot of energy. You know, still pretty young, thirty

59
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: eight years old, and like you said, me New York rise,

60
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think five years ago he was a

61
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator at Division three John Carroll, and of course

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Tom telesco played at John Carroll, so there's a connection there,

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: and obviously John had known about Brandon kind of coming

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: up the ranks. The other thing to think about is

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Mike Shula is an outside linebackers coach with the Rams

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: coach with the Chargers previously, as did Joe Barry, who

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: coaches linebackers with the Rams. So those are two potential

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: coaches that maybe could move over and be a defensive

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: coordinator with the Chargers, depending on how things shake out.

70
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: So we'll get to the offense. But when you do

71
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: look at the defense, you mentioned the two big pieces

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, Darwin James also though, Kenneth Murray, and you know,

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: it depends on what happens at the safety position with Ray,

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Shawn Jenkins and free agency. But there's there's some pieces

75
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: across the line. You chenn Innosue another guy um And

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: when I look at the Rams defense, independent of Donald

77
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: and Ramsey, he really got the most out of the

78
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: other guys around those two superstars. Yeah, I think with Murray,

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: this defense is really built for a guy like Murray

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: to make a lot of plays because he's gonna be

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: able to run sideline the sideline and generally that that

82
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: inside linebacker in this defense is making the most tackles.

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: So I would imagine it's gonna be a's gonna be

84
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: a boost for Murray in terms of his ability to

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: make plays. Another person to think about is Leonard Floyd.

86
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, had a career season for the Rams ten

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: and a half sacks. A lot of that had to

88
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: do with playing the Aaron donalad But Leonard's a free agent.

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: So so maybe you go out to somebody like that

90
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: that you already know is going to work in this defense,

91
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: and you bring him over here Adam, with Bosa, Murray, Derham, James,

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: that defense starts to look even better than it's been

93
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: in bats. So we are taping this, you know, minutes

94
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: after this was announced. So in terms of a staff,

95
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: we don't know what's gonna happen. You know, by the

96
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: time you listen to this tomorrow, maybe some things have

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: shaken out a little bit. But but offensively, obviously Stanley

98
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: had to have come in there with a plan for

99
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: justin Herbert, him going into his second year with all

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: of those talented pieces around him. So I think regardless,

101
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna step into a situation where he's got a

102
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: lot of pieces on defense. But you see what Justin

103
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Herbert did, and you know you have Keenan Allen locked in.

104
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: You know you have Mike Williams, you have Austin Eckler.

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: I think obviously retold the offensive line a little bit,

106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: but Stanley's gonna have a lot to work with on offense.

107
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what happens and who he

108
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: puts on that staff offensively. Yeah, And like I said,

109
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: at this time, it's really hard to say who's it

110
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: gonna be, but I would say this, it's probably gonna

111
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: be a college Shanahan or Sean McVay style offense. And

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of the trend right now when you look

113
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: across the league and offenses that are having a lot

114
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: of success. La Fleur in Green Bay obviously has had

115
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: a lot of success in that similar type offense where

116
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: you have a lot of pre stop motion and fly

117
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: sweeps and those kind of things a play action and

118
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: I think that kind of fits justin skill set because

119
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: he can obviously grow on the move, he can run,

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: and he's good in play actions. So I would expect

121
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: then offensive person that they bring in to have that

122
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: background that that Kyle Shanahan, Sean mcbay's background to pair

123
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: with what Brandon does on defense. Eric, you mentioned the

124
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: presence and the presidential like aura about him when he

125
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: steps into a room. What was it like for the

126
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: players on on his defense, specifically guys like Jalen Ramsey

127
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald. I imagine, you know, you have a

128
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: guy who comes in here first year as a defensive coordinator,

129
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: but he had to have committed respect like that. Yeah,

130
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey called him the best defensive coordinator he's ever had,

131
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: and he played or Wade Phillips, who obviously is one

132
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: of the most respected defensive coordinators you know, in NFL history,

133
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: So that says a lot about the impact that he

134
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: was able to make in the year. Aaron Donald similar

135
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: comments about the detailed nature way he approaches things, and

136
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: I think also his willing to be able to change

137
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: things and and and and put players in their best position.

138
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: I know Jalen Ramsey had always wanted to move around

139
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more. He'd always kind of been that

140
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: shutdown corner. We're just going to put you on this

141
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: half of the field. But Brandon was willing to put

142
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: him inside in the slot a little bit to take

143
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: more advantage of his playmaking ability, particularly when he faced

144
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: a team that didn't have a top tier receiver where

145
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: he needed to just say Jay and Gold lineup and

146
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: guard that guy and to kind of keep his interest.

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald probably played the most a defensive end that

148
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: he has in his career, so they're able to take

149
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: advantage of his ability to rush off the edge and

150
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: not just keep him inside. So I think those the

151
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: willingness to think outside of the box is a is

152
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: a good trade for Brad and I think a positive

153
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: trade for him as he moves into this head coaching position.

154
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: One of the things I was mentioned was the Chargers

155
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: wanting to be innovative and find a leader. Right. You know,

156
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: when Tom tell Uska talks about the trades for a

157
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: head coach, he leads with leader. And I think sometimes

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: you look at Justin Herbert, You're, all right, maybe they're

159
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: gonna go offensive minded type guy. But but it's clear

160
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: they wanted a guy who's going to be the CEO

161
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: of the team. So what does this say about just

162
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, we are in a league

163
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: now where you know, you would think, all right, get

164
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the offensive minded guy, but you look at some of

165
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: the success that guys like John Harball, a special teams coach,

166
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: has had having the talented offense, but also bringing a

167
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: guy who has that CEO mentality but also can really

168
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: put that defense together. Because I tell you what, if

169
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense has a top five ranked unit to

170
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: go with that offense, they're going places that Pete Carroll

171
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: had a little bit of success in Seattle, and he's

172
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. So yeah, pretty good people you can

173
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: lean on. Go Okay, that's it's worked there, Maybe you

174
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: can work work with the Chargers. I think the other

175
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: thing that that maybe doesn't get talked about enough is

176
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: that head coach and that GM need to be aligned

177
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: philosophically in terms of how they look at the team,

178
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: how they're going to trap, and then how they're going

179
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: to develop. And I think they had that with Anthony

180
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Lynn in the past. I think you know less Goo

181
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: Anthony had a good working relationship just having covered them

182
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: and then obviously things you know, didn't go the way

183
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: that they want them to go last year and they

184
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: move on. But I think that's an important piece when

185
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: you bring in a new head coach, and that's perhaps

186
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: why Brandon got the nod is Telesco just felt that

187
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: there is a there was an alignment and there the

188
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: way that they've they viewed football and the way that

189
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: they viewed this team specifically. I don't think Eric covering

190
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: Staneley this year and knowing the Chargers the way you do,

191
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: what are going to be the first a few items

192
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: you think Staley's checklist to get Discharger's team back to

193
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: the postseason, back into contention. Yeah, that's a good question.

194
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna, you know, have to look take

195
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: a comprehensive look at the roster and see what players

196
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, fit what he wants to do on offense

197
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: and defense, and then really kind of get those leaders

198
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: together and have those guys kind of echoing, you know,

199
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: what he feels like the foundational things are that are

200
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: important to his regime as he moves forward. You got

201
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: to get buying from the leadership for those players first.

202
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Once you do that and established like you know, a

203
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: rapport with those guys, and then you can get down

204
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of the nuts and bolts of coaching the team.

205
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: So I think it's really kind of just building those

206
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: relationships early on, which is hard to do, you know,

207
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: COVID and everything, because you can't go out and have

208
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: lunch with guys, you know, because of everything that's happening

209
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: right now. I think that makes it harder. Um. I

210
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: think once they get on the grass though, UM, I

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: think that's where you'll really see the buying because that's

212
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: where you you'll you'll see his command as a coach

213
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: is really on the field and being precise in detailed

214
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: with the specific things that he wants to see accomplished

215
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: on offensive defense. And then also be interesting to see

216
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: how they approach things in free agency in the draft,

217
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: and again that's going to be about building a good

218
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: relationship with Talasco and the ownership. I think Jalen Ramsey

219
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: and Drwin James have had a conversation or two about

220
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley. I would say more than a couple of conversations.

221
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, you already saw on social media. Derwin's pretty excited.

222
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: He should be excited because I really believe that. You know,

223
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: when you look at Durwin and Jalen, they're really kind

224
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: of the same body type and they move very similar.

225
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously Jaalen plays corner and Durwin play safety.

226
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: But I think one of the things that you're going

227
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: to see is Durwin move around the formation a lot

228
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: and really just take advantage of his huge skill set

229
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: in terms of what he can do defensively. So yeah,

230
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: if you're Durrwin, you have to be excited and hopefully

231
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: you can get healthy and get back on the field. Yeah,

232
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: Derwin healthy is positionless, you put them anywhere. You know it.

233
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: Just watching the Chiefs today too, it gets you excited

234
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: about Chiefs Chargers in twenty twenty one. Now knowing that

235
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley is a head coach, Jarwin and Travis Kelsey

236
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: and obviously we know Mahomes and Herbert. That chess match

237
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: between Andy Reid and Brandon stalele it's gonna be fun

238
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: of the Ac West And that's not not really I

239
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: thought about. But yeah, I mean, you hire a defensive

240
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: guy because you're gonna have to stop after mckahomes and

241
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and that holding offense. You have to figure

242
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: out ways to slow those guys down and do better

243
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: to bring in than the guy that engineered the number

244
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: one ranked defense. So makes sense. Eric Williams my first

245
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: phone call after Brandon Staley was hired as the head

246
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: coach of the Chargers. Bid always appreciate your time. You

247
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: go from Rams the Lakers. So no rest for you,

248
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: my friend. No, just keep grinding. I'm enjoying it. Love

249
00:12:52,800 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: it man. Thanks so much, Thanks Chris, appreciate him out
