1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Only fifteen to ten touched up Sucker. What's up? Guys,

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: welcome into a schedule release edition of Chargers Weekly. Pay

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: them this a day late because we wanted to make

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: sure that schedule came out so we could break it

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: down as always, joined by Matt Money Smith Money. It's

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: always a big day on the calendar. We always know

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the who, but the one and the where is important.

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: The videos that come out the anime release Part two

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: did not disappoint. We could start in a number of directions.

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: You want to start there? Sure, Sure, I look, I'm

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. We don't need to say it. We're biased.

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: It's the best digital and social media team in the NFL.

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: They outdo themselves regularly, whether it's all in through digital

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: and the YouTube stuff they put together, the breakdowns, the

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: people they bring in to host those you know, that content,

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: and the social media team and everything that goes into

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: the anime. We'll still be finding Easter eggs and that

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: thing for the next three weeks. Some of my favorites

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: wildly underrated. I thought was Week one and just Mike

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: McDaniel being accused of vapin you know, and having all

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: the vape cloud. I think was one that perhaps snuck

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: by a handful of people. As someone who's been in

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: football as long as I have to see miniche Meda,

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: I'm the missing mister for the Jets was exceptional. So

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: there's let's see if I'm just going through.

26
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: So we two Week two it looked very like, just

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: all right, Derek Hennery, your robot on the right of

28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: him is is an old banana in the mao in

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: a can of mao. For will levels, that was great.

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: The next level, of course, was week fifteen Raiders loss

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: of seventy two million bucks for Garoppolo. You click the

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: It's they did great. They did really.

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: You know the fact that it's not redeemable for a

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: wedding invite.

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've read oh that's so great,

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: so great, And that they started it out with some

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: self deprecation I think set the tone of hey, we

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: can make fun of ourselves as well with the twenty

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: seven zero ticket that they stepped on.

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: So well done.

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: Of all the other ones, and I didn't see all

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: of them, but I kind of tried to watch all

46
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: the other teams videos until I got bored, and I

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: got bored pretty quickly with most of them. The only

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: one that gave the Chargers a run for its money

49
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: was Tennessee's. So you did not check out the Titans

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: schedule release that. I don't ever want to take the

51
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: crown from the Chargers because of all the greatness that

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: goes into it, But well done, Tennessee. That was as

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: good as anyone we've seen in a while. If you

54
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: have not seen that, make sure you go seek it

55
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: out and watch. They went down to Broadway, which is

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: the main drag in Nashville where all the bars are,

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: and just got a bunch of drunk people, showed them

58
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: the logos the mascots of the teams, asking them what

59
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: team they were playing. So make sure you seek that out.

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: It's great. That was great. I forgot what they did.

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Lightning McQueen I think was the Chargers Lightning McQueen cars,

62
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Lightning McQueen's who the Chargers were. It's a pretty great.

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh god, all right, let's get into this schedule and

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, let's just go game by game, because you know,

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: I'm looking at each game and we again we knew

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the opponents, But I think what a way to start

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Week one, right, Herbert two Staley, Fangio, Ronaldo Hill. It's

68
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: a it's kind of a rematch of that that Sunday

69
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: night game last year, Dolphins Chargers kicking it off in

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: so far money.

71
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Look, we know Vic Fangio is nothing against Brandon Staley,

72
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 2: but you know Vick was his guy, so he's arguably

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: the brightest defensive mind in the NFL. We know how

74
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: tough those Broncos games were, no matter who was on

75
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: the roster. Every time the Chargers went to playing when

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: Fangio was the coach, it was a nightmare. And I

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: dug in a little bit, you open up. It's so

78
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: there's two sides to that, right. Mike McDaniels sort of

79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: called the running game genius the special sauce to Kyle

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: Shanahan's offense when he was in San Francisco. We know

81
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: how good he is with the run, So I'll start there.

82
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Week one. You're still waiting for Austin Johnson to get healthy,

83
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: Tito Abonia to get healthy. You didn't really get any

84
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: reinforcements for the interior of that line in free agency

85
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: or the draft. So you're talking about going up against

86
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: one of the best run game coordinators and run game

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: play callers in the league without full health, because we

88
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: don't know, and maybe those guys will be ready, But

89
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: that's a concern. Two Fangio and what he has been

90
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: able to do no matter who his opponent is. I

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: dug in. In twenty twenty one, Kellen Moore and the

92
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: Cowboys faced Vic Fangio and the Broncos with the number

93
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: one offense in the NFL. They had won six games

94
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 2: straight and at the eight minute mark of the fourth

95
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: quarter they were losing thirty to zero. So just to

96
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: kind of put that in perspective, and what Vic Fangio

97
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: was able to do to Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliot

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: and Tony Pollard And although Mariy Cooper all those guys

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: with Kellen Moore callin plays, he's really good. He is

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: really really good. So it is a tough way to

101
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: start the season. Having said that Miami was a buzzsaw

102
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: offensively last year, coming into that Sunday night football game,

103
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley had a brilliant game plan pressing those receivers,

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: pushing his guys up a little bit to the middle

105
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: of that field and taking away what had been working

106
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: so well for them and to it just couldn't overcome it.

107
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: The the offense stalled out big time. And and that's

108
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: a tip of the cap to Staley for coming up

109
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: and because remember after that, everybody emulated what Staley did

110
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: moving forward, and that was how they tried to thwart

111
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 2: that offensive attack of Jalen Waddle and and Tyreek Hillen.

112
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: Just to put a button on it. The I don't

113
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: know what the corner situation is gonna look like, is it.

114
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be just here in the slot. Is

115
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: it gonna be j. T. Woods being asked to do

116
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: a lot up high? That's a lot for week one.

117
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: If it's gonna be those two second years, second year

118
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: players because J. C.

119
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: Jackson also was not ready yet.

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: You know, going into into that context, it's a it's

121
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: a tough way to start.

122
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: It is. And you know, as far as Kellen Moore's

123
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: offense is concerned, is it gonna be hot out the gates?

124
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Is it gonna take a few weeks? Right? It kind

125
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: of gets you get your legs under you and understand

126
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: the playbook and understand what they're doing. So it's it's

127
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: a fascinating matchup in an AFC that's absolutely loaded, a

128
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: game that you may need down the stretch in terms

129
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: of tyber Baker situations based on what Miami does this year.

130
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: You know, you know, we got sixteen more to go,

131
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: but obviously Dolphins at home, that's a great way to

132
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: start the season for the Chargers. Make a statement. Weeks

133
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: two and three, money you go on the road, We're

134
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: going to Nashville. Where was that barbecue place we went

135
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: to in Nashville that had the band Martin's Martin's, So

136
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put in the reservation for Martin's after the

137
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: podcast Nashville. Is it gonna be Will Levis starting? Is

138
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: it gonna be Ryan Tannehill starting? It seems like Tennessee

139
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: is is closer to rebuild than contender at this point.

140
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: First road test for the Chargers. Time to get your

141
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: first road win of the year.

142
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: So I would say, instead of kind of going game

143
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: by game just because we've known our opponents the whole time,

144
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a perfect time to sort of zoom

145
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: out and go big picture because you just said it.

146
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: Back to back road games, right, Chargers. The schedule makers

147
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: could not have done the Chargers more favors. You can't

148
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: control the opponents. The opponents are what they are. It's

149
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: tough schedule. It's a really tough schedule. But when you

150
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: look at the way this schedule lays out, here's a

151
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: couple of things that jump out to me and I

152
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: took a ton of notes, so the strength of schedule.

153
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: Understand this, when you look at strength of schedule, we're

154
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: going to be the AFC West and the AFC East

155
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: are going to have the toughest schedules because one look

156
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: at the participants in each of those divisions, Chiefs, Broncos, Raiders, Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins, Bills, Jets.

157
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: Those are eight good teams. Those are eight really good teams.

158
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: You can make a case for any of those eight

159
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: teams to make the postseason. The Raiders maybe come to

160
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: mine or the Broncos because of how poorly it went,

161
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: but Sean Payton's in there. They still have an absolutely

162
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: dominant d If they can get that offensive right, we

163
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: know how good that team could be. Raiders lost a

164
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: ton of close games last year, and personally, I think

165
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: they upgraded at quarterback, and a lot of that was

166
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: quarterback driven as to how they were coming up short

167
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: late in those games. When you talk about the AFC East, again,

168
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: easy to make a case right for any of those

169
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: four teams. Jets with that defense, Bills are one of

170
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: the best teams in football, the Dolphins made the playoffs

171
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: last year, and the Patriots are the Patriots. So strength

172
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: of schedule. Understand, you're going to see the AFC West

173
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: and the AFC East because they also play each other.

174
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: So you're talking about ten of seventeen games for the

175
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: teams in the AFC West to be against, six against

176
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: each other and four against the AFC. Same thing for

177
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: the AFC East. Right, you've got six against each other,

178
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: four against the AFC West. So strength the schedule is tough.

179
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Nothing you can do about that. But what you can

180
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: look at is, in fact, the Chargers only have one

181
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: back to back road trip. That's it. You've got the

182
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: Giants with two three game road trips back to back

183
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: to back. Think about the Chargers only happened one and

184
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: it's right at the start of the year when you

185
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: hope health is at a premium, So that is a

186
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: After those two back to backs Raiders at home, then

187
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: the bye. Look at the schedule, home away, home away,

188
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: home away, home away, home away, home away home, they

189
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: alternate every week. Yeah, that's a huge advantage, an absolutely

190
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: huge advantage. And when you look at the rest of

191
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: the division, Chris, the Chargers have that one back to

192
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: back roadie, the Broncos, the Raiders, and the Chiefs, they

193
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: all have three back to back road game situations. So

194
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 2: that's a big net advantage for the Bolts.

195
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point. And you know, again, Hope

196
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: health is that are premium in September, and it's two

197
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: teams that did. Frankly, the Chargers could beat and should be.

198
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, I think Minnesota maybe a little bit tougher

199
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: than Tennessee. It's September. You got an Eric Kendricks reunion,

200
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: you got a Ryan Ficken reunion early in September. But listen,

201
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: we'll go through, you know, different chunks of the schedule.

202
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: If we worked backwards to money and I said this

203
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: last time I was looking at the schedule. After Thanksgiving

204
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: is when the season starts with the Chargers, they could

205
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: be five and five going into that game against the Ravens.

206
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: You have the Ravens on Sunday night, then you got

207
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: to go to New England, and then you have four

208
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: of your six division games to close the year Broncos, Raiders,

209
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Broncos Chiefs, with the Bills sandwiched in between there. Yeah,

210
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean those are all teams that you're going to

211
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: be competing with for either a division title or a

212
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: wildcard spot. So you could be four and six, five

213
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: and five, six and four, whatever. The season doesn't really

214
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: start until after Thanksgiving, and you got to hope, you know,

215
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: and this is where you know, we don't know, Hopefully

216
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: you're healthy, you're playing your best ball. That Kellen Moore

217
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: offense is humming in December and January. But I just

218
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: found it interesting because you know, sometimes teams have their

219
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: divisional opponents up in September and October when maybe you're

220
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: not the team that you're going to be in December

221
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: and January. So I think it's a great opportunity for

222
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers if they're going to ascend throughout the year

223
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: with a new offense and some of some new players

224
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: and some rookies that may contribute, to have those division

225
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: games at the back half of the year. That was

226
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: the one thing that stood out to me. You don't

227
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: have like Chiefs, Raiders, Broncos to start the season. You're

228
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: going to get those teams late.

229
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: So think about last year. They clinched in Week sixteen

230
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: at Indianapolis day after Christmas. So when you look at

231
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: week sixteen, you're coming off you get the mini buys.

232
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: So that's the hell.

233
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: We can get into little bit of that stuff because

234
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: I dug into the rest and who's coming off of

235
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: buy or the Chargers coming off of buy, who's got

236
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: more rest going into that game, who's traveling further? All

237
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff we can touch upon. But since

238
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: you brought that up, I think that's the toughest stretch

239
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: of the season sixteen seventeen eighteen. Now, I know Charger

240
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: fans don't want to hear it, but the Chiefs have

241
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: owned this division. Chiefs have owned the best record in

242
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: the conference or very close to it, seemingly year in

243
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: and year out. Right, So you get the Chiefs in

244
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: Week eighteen. If you're not in contention for the division

245
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: at that point, like you said, say they're coming in

246
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: fighting for that wildcard, Well, now you might be taking

247
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: a Chiefs team on that's resting everybody, and that's a

248
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: benefit for you and nothing against the Chargers, but this

249
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: is just recent and the last five years that we're

250
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: talking about that the Chiefs have dominated the AFC. So

251
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: just looking at it realistically, that's a benefit. I would

252
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: rather have the Chiefs in Week eighteen than in Week fourteen, fifteen,

253
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: or sixteen, So that's a plus. But when you're talking

254
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: about Buffalo on Saturday night at Denver, we know how

255
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: good that defense is. They lost to them in Week

256
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: eighteen and they needed overtime and an incredible special teams

257
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: play to beat them at home last year. That defense

258
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 2: is good. So that's week seven that you cannot lose

259
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: that game because then you got Kansas City. If you're

260
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: fighting for the division, that's a really top There's a

261
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: number of tough stretches in I look at you mentioned Baltimore.

262
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: Baltimore having to go to New England again, Denver's an

263
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: issue that's a bit of a tough and plus you

264
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: know just Detroit having to go to Green Bay. I

265
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: think weatherwise they caught a break. You got to go

266
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: to New England first week of first week of December

267
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: and then Denver. Cold has never really bothered me. I

268
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: don't feel like it bothers the guys either, But that

269
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: East Coast cold is a different level cold. So when

270
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: you're talking about New England first week of December, that

271
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: can be a little bit tough. January's a little rough

272
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: in Denver too, that could end up being cold, so

273
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: you get a little bit of cold weather in there

274
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: as well. It's a rough. It's a rough close to

275
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: the season. That Buffalo game, just since we're already on it,

276
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: to bring it up. The Buffalo game, the Chargers get

277
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: a mini by because Buffalo will be on a short week.

278
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: The Chargers are coming off the Thursday night football game

279
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: against the Raiders, so the Bills are playing on Sunday.

280
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: The Chargers are playing all the way back on Thursday,

281
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: so you're talking about extra rest versus short rest for Buffalo.

282
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: So that's a bit of an advantage. And they're at home,

283
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: so Buffalo's the road team having just played on Sunday,

284
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: the Chargers of the home team, having played the past

285
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: Thursday night. So you get that ten days of rest

286
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: going into what could be a slobber knocker against one

287
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: of the best teams in the league. Slide advantage Chargers there.

288
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: Just remember last year though, exactly a year ago, We're

289
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: looking at the schedule and we said, oh my god,

290
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football against Sean McVay and the Rams. Wow,

291
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: Monday Night football against the Colts team that we thought

292
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: was going to be a contender. Jeff Saturday was the

293
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: head coach on Monday Night Football, and the Rams are

294
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: way out of content change. All we can do is

295
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: all we can always is.

296
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: All we can do is take the information we have

297
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: right now exactly exactly. We can just project based on

298
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: what we see right now. And let's not forget Chargers

299
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: lost pretty much their entire defense. They lost their high

300
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: priced corner, they lost their entire interior defensive line. Joey

301
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: Bosa was out for eleven games. They lost their left tackle.

302
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: Like the Chargers were part of that as well. They

303
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: just happened to overcome it. Then put it this like

304
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: the one thing to look at if you want to

305
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: go down this road. DraftKings has the Chargers favored in

306
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: twelve of seventeen games.

307
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: That's good.

308
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: So that's good. Yeah, they think they're gonna win twelve

309
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: of seventeen. They think they've got them at twelve and

310
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: five in terms of how the line's set up right now.

311
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: We know that'll change based on performance, could get better,

312
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: could get worse, But at least going into it with

313
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: this schedule, I feel pretty good about how it lays out,

314
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: just in terms of travel. Fact that they don't have

315
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: with all of these East Coast with all of these

316
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: Midwest and East Coast games, Green Bay, Minnesota, Tennessee, New England,

317
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: New York, like, it could have been gnarly. It could

318
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: have been a gnarly schedule based on a lot of

319
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: those trips and the fact that they are alternating every

320
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: other week, and even the one that we have a

321
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: back to back, Minnesota's two and a half hour flight,

322
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: that's nothing. That's one of the shorter trips that you're

323
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 2: gonna make. Tennessee's not bad. Tennessee's three hours to get there,

324
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: you know, three and a half four to get home.

325
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: So that's another easy one. And that's the only back

326
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: to back. So that really helped the way to schedule

327
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: laid out.

328
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean New England is the furthest trip. Before

329
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: that you host the Ravens, and then after that you

330
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: host the Broncos, and then you have a Thursday night

331
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders. That's a you know I can

332
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: get talk about a win. Yeah, I mean, come on, like,

333
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a full week of practice California. It

334
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: takes longer than to get to Vegas.

335
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: Right, So remember what they always talk about being a

336
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: road team on Thursday, and at football, you lose it.

337
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: You lose a day of practice because you have to

338
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: travel on Wednesday. Not the case here. You're gonna get

339
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: a full day of practice in because you have to

340
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: be in town eighteen hours before kick.

341
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: So kick is at five o'clock.

342
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: You don't have to be in Vegas until ten o'clock

343
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: if you want, you can get there that late and

344
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: get a full day of practice, have a regular you

345
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: can have the exact same practice week that the Raiders have,

346
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: save that forty minute flight and a bus ride to

347
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: a hotel.

348
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Muddy. That's last year we were on the bus to

349
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: the hotel longer than we were in the air, right,

350
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: That's like how quick it is? So right, So that's

351
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: a huge win. The fact that you have a road

352
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night football game and it's the shortest trip you

353
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: could possibly take, save if you played the Rams at home.

354
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: But it's the shortest trip you can take. And so

355
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: there is no that the home team has such a

356
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: big advantage over the road team on Thursday at football

357
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: because they get an extra day of practice. They don't

358
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: have to take that Wednesday to trial, Monday's recovery day,

359
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday install Wednesday practice.

360
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: Well, now you get that as a road team. You know,

361
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: the road team normally would not get that. Maybe they

362
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: have to condense a little bit and they don't have

363
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: to do that. They will be on the exact same

364
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: schedule as the Raiders. So that's a huge advantage considering

365
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: you had a road Thursday night football game for it

366
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: to be in Las Vegas.

367
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: The buye came into me last year. Yeah, this is

368
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: not that's the one negative. Yeah, I mean it's it's early.

369
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 1: It's week five, but the earliest it can be, it's

370
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: earliest it can be. But you know what, the first

371
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: four games, right, Miami, Tennessee, Minnesota and the Raiders, wouldn't

372
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: it be awesome for the charge you get like three

373
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: and one reset and play the rest of the schedule.

374
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned that you're gonna get mini buys that you know,

375
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: the mini buy from Thursday night football to the following

376
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: the way that the schedule lays out as you beautifully outlined.

377
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like it's gonna be a tough

378
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: road to hoe without a bye coming in like week

379
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: nine or week ten. So I think that's the one

380
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: advantage that's like, all right, we're gonna give you the

381
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: buye in week five, but we're not gonna make you

382
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: go back to back road road trips, and especially in December.

383
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: I think it lays out nicely if you told me

384
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: that's the trade off. The bye stinks. There's I'm not

385
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 2: going to try to put lipstick on that pig. It's

386
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 2: a it's a crappy buye. You don't want to buy

387
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: in week five. It's just so early. Last year they

388
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 2: had one. They had it right in the middle. That's

389
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: what you want, man, right in the middle. Get that

390
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: week refresh, get some guys healthy that got banged up.

391
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: But I will trade this schedule for that bye too

392
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: early any day of the week. The fact that you

393
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: are alternating home after that buye, that you are alternating

394
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 2: home and away games all the way through the Thursday,

395
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: and at football against the Raiders, you get set the Chargers,

396
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 2: we've been traveling on Christmas or We've been gone on

397
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: Christmas three years in a row. Now they give you

398
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 2: the twenty third. So the guys get to spend time

399
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: at home or get to do something with their families

400
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day, on Sunday or on Monday, I should say,

401
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: you know, Christmas Eve on Sunday. We play on Saturday

402
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: night at home. So that's nice for the staff, for

403
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: the coaches, the coaches who have families, for the players

404
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: that have young kids to have been gone these last

405
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: three years. Indianapolis, Houston, Houston, that's nice. I'm happy to

406
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: see that the league perhaps recognized what the last three

407
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: years have been like.

408
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: And I think that's emotionally. It's late in the year.

409
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: You're looking for little victories, right, So that to me

410
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: is that's that's something that can make you feel good.

411
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: Put a little pep in your step, you know what.

412
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: We're going into a game at Denver. We just played

413
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: the Bills, and I get to spend Christmas, even Christmas

414
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: Day with my family, well all these other guys. We

415
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: got three games on Christmas Day, We got a full

416
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: slate on Sunday, Christmas Eve, and we got to play

417
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: on Saturday with Pittsburgh and Cincinnati on the twenty third, and.

418
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: We get those two days.

419
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: That's to me, that's an emotional lift that when you're

420
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: that late in the season, you're absolutely beat to hell.

421
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: I think that's that's something that it's tiny, but at

422
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 2: the same time, I know what it felt like, at

423
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: least for me, and I felt like you could you

424
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: could feel it in snack and in catering in Houston

425
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: and Indianapolis these last few years. Like, man, it's it's

426
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: Christmas Day and I'm sitting in a hotel ballroom eating

427
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: steak and fish and having a smoothie maid and there's

428
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: the omelet bar, and it's just it's the same. It's

429
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: a rinse repeat, and I think it's a little depressing,

430
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: just to be fully honest. So to have that this year,

431
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: I think it's a big that's great. It's a great

432
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: way to have the schedule having laid out that way

433
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,560

Speaker 1: money we talked about that week five. By coming out

452
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: of that is Cowboys Chargers on Monday Night football, Kellen

453
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Moore gets to face his former squad. And you know

454
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: this is about as marquee as it gets. You get

455
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: the Cowboys coming to Sofi Stadium. And again, if we're

456
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna go any silver lining with the buy, you get

457
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: two weeks or to prepare for your first nationally televised game.

458
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: It's big advantage teams coming off of buy versus teams

459
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: that aren't big advantage and they get it. They're coming

460
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: off the buy. The Cowboys are coming off Sunday night

461
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: football for Monday night football, so they get full rest

462
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: even though they play late on Sunday. Slid advantage chargers,

463
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: no doubt about that. You mentioned six primetime game before

464
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: you took the break there, Chris. That's I know that

465
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: the spanos Is and Tom aren't going to want to

466
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 2: hear this, but why do you think we got six

467
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: primetime games. That's why that guy's gonna make the amount

468
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: of money he's gonna make, and he's worth every cent.

469
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: When you talk about being in a group with the

470
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen, the Kansas City Chiefs and

471
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and America's team, the Dallas Cowboys, and you're

472
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: the only one in that group, You're the only other

473
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: one in that small group, guess what you got yourself?

474
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 2: A superstar quarterback that everybody wants to watch play football.

475
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: He plays an exciting brand of football. Everybody knows that

476
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: no lead either way is safe, and they always play

477
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: exciting games in primetime, and that's that's why the amount

478
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: of money that that is worth to have. You know,

479
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: we were talking I'm going to out you Greg before

480
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: we started this, and he's it's funny when you're a fan,

481
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: you look at those primetime games and you're like, this

482
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: is awesome. When you're inside, it's like the suck because

483
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: you're sitting around all day waiting to play. It's always

484
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 2: when you're on the road for the primetime you know

485
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna leave, We're gonna leave New York City somewhere

486
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: around one am, two am New York time. We're gonna

487
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: land in La somewhere around three thirty four AM from

488
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: that Monday night er, and you got a Tuesday workday

489
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: the next day. It's not ideal, it's rough, but the

490
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: fans love it, so you are talking about Premium. Four

491
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: of those six are at home. We only have two

492
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 2: road games in primetime, Thursday night in Vegas and Monday

493
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: night in New York. Everything else Saturday night against Buffalo,

494
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football with the Cowboys, Sunday Night Football with

495
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: the Bears. These are Marquee National Fan Base games. Baltimore

496
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football, Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert. That's for

497
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: the Charger. You you mean to tell me that place

498
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be packed with football fans. Every one of

499
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: those four home games of the nine we have are

500
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: going to be packed with people. It is gonna be

501
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: juice to the nines. And thank you number ten, because man,

502
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: that's that's how you get into group with the Bills,

503
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and the Cowboys. Is the most primetime games

504
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three.

505
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: The next four games out of the bye. Baby, you

506
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: know what, maybe the bid did come at the right

507
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: time money, because you got you got Cowboys, Chargers, Then

508
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: you got a short week. You gotta go to Arrowhead

509
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: and that's the that's the lone day game of the

510
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: next four and that's probably the most marquee Mames Herbert

511
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead. Then you got Bears, Chargers and then Chargers

512
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: Jets Monday Night football. So again a little bit of

513
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: a disadvantage that you gotta go to Arrowhead on a

514
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: short week.

515
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: A short week and they have a mini bye. By

516
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: the way, they're coming off Thursday Night football, so it's

517
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: a double whamming. So Chiefs git ten days, Chargers coming

518
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: off Monday night football and traveling. That's if we're just

519
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: talking about the advantages, there's one of the disadvantages and

520
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: hiccups in the schedule.

521
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: So okay, so we got we got Chargers, Cowboys, Charge Chiefs, Bears,

522
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: Chargers and Chargers Jets, And you know you were talking

523
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: about the AFC East and the AFC West. Listen, the

524
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: Bears are gonna take a leap this year. I don't

525
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: know how big of a leap, but Justin Field's I

526
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: think proved last year that he's got some juice and

527
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: we'll see where that goes with guys like DJ Moore

528
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: and Clay Pool and trying to build that offense. So

529
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at some of these NFC North

530
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: teams and last year you're like, oh man, NFC North

531
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: maybe down a little bit. Lions are opening the season

532
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. You got the Lions at home going

533
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. I don't care if it' Zara Rodgers Geordan.

534
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you go into Lambeau. Lambo is not gonna

535
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: be the easiest place to get a win. We talked

536
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: about the Bears Vikings early in the season going to Minnesota,

537
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: so we knew how tough this schedule was gonna be.

538
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: I think the way it lays out to your point earlier,

539
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: it does work out for the Chargers. But some of

540
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: these games that you like look at in May and

541
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, Charger should get that one. They should.

542
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: But you know, everybody's got a squad this year, and

543
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a little bit more difficult

544
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: when we talk about teams like the Lions and Bears,

545
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: teams that maybe last year and the year before, you're like,

546
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: oh man, those are those are wins. So I'll I'll

547
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: disagree with you a little bit. On the Bears.

548
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna stink. Just I to me, they're

549
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: they're in like the middle of a two or a three. Now, look,

550
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: you can say that and I'll be completely wrong. But

551
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: when I look at that offensive line still needs a

552
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: lot of work. The getting DJ Moore, I don't know

553
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 2: what Chase claypool is, you know, giving them an opportunity

554
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: to redo that trade. There's no question they don't give

555
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: up a second for Chase clay But I'll believe it

556
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: when I see it. With Justin Fields, I'll believe it

557
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: when I see it. Just there there were a lot

558
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: of issues throwing the ball and again didn't have the weapons.

559
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: Terrible offensive line. Are they going to be better in

560
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: there is Cody white Hair and Tevin Jenkins and these

561
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: young guys Darnell right at right tackle, are they going

562
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: to be better in front of him? We know the

563
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: threat he.

564
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: Is using his feet. They didn't do that.

565
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: It's not a good defense. It's not a good defense.

566
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: So that's one that the Chargers should be able to

567
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: I would love to see them get a big lead

568
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: in that game. And on the Sunday night football going

569
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: into a trip to New York City to take on

570
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: a gnarly Jets team, I'd love to see them be

571
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: able to get some rest in that game. It's asking

572
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: a lot. There are very few blowouts in the NFL.

573
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: Typically the games are tight. But of all the opponents

574
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: they have next year, that's the worst one to me

575
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: that they are, on paper, the worst team that the

576
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: Chargers will face next year. And look, they have the

577
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: number one overall pick in the draft. Yeah, they were

578
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 2: the worst team in the NFL in twenty twenty two.

579
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: So it's not like I'm sticking my neck out and

580
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: saying that they're gonna play five of the top seven

581
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: DVOA defenses Football Outsiders dot Com from twenty twenty two Dallas,

582
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: New England, Buffalo, the Jets, Baltimore five of the top

583
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: seven defenses in the league. They're gonna play five of

584
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: the top six offenses in the league, the Chiefs twice.

585
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: So Chiefs, Chiefs, Buffalo, Detroit, Miami. I bring that up

586
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: now because it speaks to your point about the Lions

587
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: and people that might see the Lions on the schedule

588
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: and say that's the Lions. Let's I forget that team

589
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: close strong, that team was a sniff away from making

590
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and they booted Aaron Rodgers and the Packers

591
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: from the playoffs when they had nothing to play for.

592
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: Because so that's that, I think something to to your point.

593
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: It's when you you can't base everything on the year before.

594
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: Green Bay still has a really good defense. That defense

595
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: probably the best defense, it's probably the best defense in

596
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: the in the NFC North. And you're playing in green

597
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 2: Bay outdoors mid November shouldn't be too cold, but it's

598
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: sure is heck is gonna be Southern California. So yes,

599
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: each opponent presents a challenge and Detroit. We know, man,

600
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: they can put it on you offensively. That is a

601
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 2: really good offensive team. They have invested heavily on their lines.

602
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: It's one of the probably it's gonna be one of

603
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: the best offensive lines. They see Taylor Decker, ragnow vay

604
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: Tai Sewel that it's gonna be in it and we

605
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: know they love to run the ball.

606
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: He'll be back for that one too. I think he

607
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: misses the first six games. Oh, that's right, you have

608
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: to deal with James and Williams.

609
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're talking about the and not to mentioned,

610
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: it's a physical It's a physical offense. They want to

611
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: run the heck out of the ball. It's why they

612
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: drafted Jamier Gibbs and signed David Montgomery. So it's it's

613
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: a it's an offense that can beat you up a

614
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: little bit.

615
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: When we look at the draft, and we talked about

616
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: this when Quentin Johnson was drafted. Uh, I think Zay

617
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: Flowers and Jordan Addison. You know, this is just the

618
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: kind of the storyline part of the season. We're gonna

619
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: see Zay Flowers so close, that's a great call. We're

620
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna see Jordan Addison early against the Vikings. So to

621
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: those those wide receivers that were drafted right after Quintin, Uh,

622
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: they'll they'll get a chance to to go toe to

623
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: toe against the Chargers. Uh, let's see here, we got

624
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: Bears Bears. Actually, the Bears have four primetime games this year.

625
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: Money, like justin Fields was exciting last year running all

626
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: over the place.

627
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: But I'd be very surprised.

628
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: Let me see, I have not taken a look at

629
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: when those primetime games are up there. So there's Thursday,

630
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: then the Chargers. Then yeah, that that Monday night football

631
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: against or actually, no, that's not let's see that. Yeah,

632
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: it is that Monday night football game against Minnesota week twelve.

633
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised if that stayed there. So that's

634
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: just my projection. Football can flex.

635
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: They can flex this exactly. They can flex this year.

636
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: So that would not that that would that one would

637
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: surprise me if that's not one of the first flexes

638
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: of the season.

639
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: So I kind of win here and we can just

640
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: kind of close the podcast on this is just this

641
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: back half of the year when you have the Ravens

642
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: coming to town. Then you have to go face Bill

643
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: Belichick in the Patriots. Mac Jones and then four of

644
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: the last five are in the division and the other

645
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: one is the Bills. I mean, we touched on it

646
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: at the top, money, but like, that's not an easy

647
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: way to close. But I'll tell you what, if the

648
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: Chargers can be ascending, Like that's quite the momentum shift

649
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: going into January. If you can take care of a

650
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: lot of those games and make yourself or at least

651
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: put yourself in a position to win the division or

652
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: get one of those wildcard spots.

653
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: We said at the top, it's a tough it's a

654
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: tough schedule. So Miami's tough going to Tennessee. We know

655
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 2: how tough they are defensively. Remember what McCurry did last

656
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: year and how tight that game was and needed a

657
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 2: game winning field goal. So Minnesota had the best record.

658
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: I think. Did they end up with the best record

659
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: in the NFC?

660
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: I feel like they did, and I know they lost

661
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: in the playoffs to the Giants, right, but oh no,

662
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 2: they had the second best record too, Philadelphia. But I

663
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: mean you're talking about a team that won twelve games

664
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: last year, thirteen and whatever it was. So Minnesota's a

665
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: very good team. I'm interested to see if Dalvin Cook's

666
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: going to be on that team. Sounds like they were

667
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: at an impass and there's some people saying they may

668
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: just cut them. So that would be a huge win

669
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: for the Chargers not having a deal with Dalvin Cook.

670
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: We know Justin Jefferson's in the conversation is the best

671
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: receiver and the league. Kirk cousins been wildly underrated. Kevin

672
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: O'Connell's a great play caller, So that's going to be

673
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: a tough game. We talked about the Raiders. You know,

674
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: those games were tight last year, so there's I'm trying

675
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: to think of there's anything else. I dug up the

676
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 2: who are the Raiders? Who are the Raiders this year?

677
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: Money? Like you know, we talked abou all the quarterbacks

678
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: in this division. Garoppolo was not one of the quarter quarterbacks.

679
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: How good is Tyree Wilson? Is he?

680
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 2: Is he over his Liz Frank injury? And is he

681
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: going to be opposite Max Crosby in a three man

682
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: rotation with Chandler Jones. That's going to go a long

683
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: way when you've got to contend when you can't double

684
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: both those guys. If Tyree Wilson's as good as people say,

685
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: he is, there are people out there talking about him

686
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 2: and Miles Garrett just his length and his explosion things

687
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: like that. So that's yeah, So that's a big one.

688
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: Is he going to be ready to go? And if

689
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: he is, there were some people that had questions about

690
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: taking place up.

691
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: Whatever.

692
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: Guy's a nightmare. So you still have to deal with

693
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: Devontae Adams. We know they built it a lot like

694
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: the Patriots where they got rid of Darren Waller and

695
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 2: brought in Michael Mayer. We know that most tight ends

696
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: don't really make an impact rookie seasons for whatever reason,

697
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: so that that part doesn't work. But when you're talking

698
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: about Jacobe Meyers, Hunter, Renfro, Devonte Adams, that's built a

699
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: lot like Josh McDaniels has put his stamp on this team,

700
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: it is it has now built a lot like what

701
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 2: he was doing with the Patriots. Even brought in Yakob

702
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: Johnson at full back. You know, you got Josh Jacobs,

703
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: who's an absolute hammer. He's got Garoppolo who knows the system.

704
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: Haven't been with him for a few years. So the

705
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: one the one thing about the Raiders the O line.

706
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: They did not draft OH line, which was really surprising.

707
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: They needed o Ligneman and they drafted none. So that's

708
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: early in the season. Joey's healthy Week four, Toy Polo

709
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: two was a little bit more comfortable. Thirty two year

710
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: old Khalil Max is still feeling pretty good, so that's

711
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: an advantage there. But that to me, it'll come down

712
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 2: to how good is Tyree Wilson, because we know Max

713
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 2: Crosby's been nothing short of an absolute, complete and total nightmare,

714
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: or the Chargers since he came into the league, and.

715
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: Then the Patriots. We've listed all those quarterbacks in the division.

716
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: Mac Jones is one of them either, but again they're

717
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: coached by Bill Belichick, and you go onto these coast

718
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: I think Bill's gonna have them in the conversation for

719
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: a playoff spot. Again, I look at guys like Mike

720
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: Tomlin with Kenny Pickett and Bill Belichick with Mac Jones.

721
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: You don't have the top tier quarterback in the division,

722
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: but you could coach and those are the types of

723
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: teams that I think the Chargers will be competing with

724
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: for a playoff spot. And it's sometimes it's not just

725
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: a quarterback. If the quarterback like Jimmy Garoppolo or mac

726
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: Jones can keep you in games, and you could win

727
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: it with your defense, like you said with Tyree Wilson

728
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: and Max Crosby, or with the Patriots are packing Bill

729
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: O'Brien's a new offensive coordinator there. Those are just the

730
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: teams that you have to be a little wary of.

731
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: They may not have the eight plus quarterback, but they

732
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of other things. They lost to Mac

733
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: Jones's rookie year at home two years ago. You could

734
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: make a case them out of the playoffs, the missed

735
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: payoffs by one game. They lost to Matt Jones his

736
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: rookie year. Bill Belichick destroyed Herbert forty five to zero

737
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty his rookie season, So we know that

738
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: Bill can be a headache, an absolute headache for And

739
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: let's not forget what her and I bring that up,

740
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: because Herbert had an incredible rookie season.

741
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 2: It was the only hiccup on the whole schedule. Everything

742
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: else was, Yeah, this guy is the next great quarterback

743
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: and he's going to be in the conversation.

744
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: It's the greatest of his era.

745
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 2: And Bill Belichick beat him forty five to nothing with

746
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: Cam Newton out there, So that's how good he is,

747
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 2: and you're going Foxborough's a weird place to play out

748
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 2: there on the sticks. You're on your bus. It's a

749
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: long commute because you can't stay in Foxborough. So whether

750
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: you stay in Boston or in Providence, you're talking about

751
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: an hour drive by bus to get the Foxborough, which sucks.

752
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: It's a one lane road. You feel like you're in

753
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: Salem and there's which trials happen in somewhere two hundred

754
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: eat outside your bus. It's just a creepy place. And

755
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you make a right next

756
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 2: to like some weird looking house and you're at Foxborough

757
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: and you're just it's eerie. It's I hate that place,

758
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: and I'm sure players do too. And it's the first

759
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: week of December, so there's not gonna be any leaves

760
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: on the it's gonna be it's gonna be snow, it's

761
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 2: gonna be cold, it's gonna be overcast, it's gonna be

762
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 2: Creepy's that's a tough one.

763
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: You pretty much just described that divisional game in twenty eighteen,

764
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Yeah, you know, it was the coldest. It

765
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: was the coldest game. I think i've been a part

766
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: of Yeah, it's it was. It was a nightmare.

767
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: So they've got let's see what else do I have left?

768
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: Two short road weeks at Kansas City up Monday night football,

769
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: at the Raiders Thursday night football, four games of less

770
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 2: rest than their opponent Minnesota, they're coming off of Mini

771
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: buy with Thursday night football. They got a handful of those.

772
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: They got kind of hosed on those. Kansas City coming

773
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 2: off Thursday night football. Detroit is on a short week

774
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: coming off They're actually Detroit's coming off of bye, and

775
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 2: the Chargers are coming off of Monday night football that stinks.

776
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 2: And Baltimore coming off many buy a Thursday at football,

777
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: So that's a negative. They got four of those that

778
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: they've got to overcome where they've got considerably less rest

779
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 2: than their opponent.

780
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: So you know, hey, man, they will have earned it.

781
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: They try to make it fair for everybody. They will

782
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: have earned it if they make the playoffs this year,

783
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: if they somehow can dethrone the Chiefs. I mean, this

784
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: is a this is a beast of a schedule, especially

785
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: down the stretch.

786
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 2: But so I tell you, Chris homer Road, you're a

787
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: fan homer Road, you get to pick a game of

788
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: the seventeen Homer Road all expenses paid, all that sort

789
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: of stuff, or you don't even have to travel. I've

790
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: discovered teleportation, so oh my god, the riggers of travel

791
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: aren't even involved. Do you just snap your fingers and

792
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: you're there? What game do you want to go to?

793
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: Dude?

794
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: There's like or is it at home? Could be one

795
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: of the home games? We got four prime time games

796
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: at home?

797
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is like the one place I

798
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: have not been that it's like it's almost like a

799
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: bucketless place as Lambeau. But the game is in. It

800
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: doesn't have the bigness of some of these, not as

801
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: much sizzle as some of the others. So I'll take

802
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: that out of it. I will say I will say Monday,

803
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: November six in New York because justin Herbert in the

804
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: Big Apple against Aarah Rodgers. I think that that's going

805
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: to be fantastic. You know, I think that would be

806
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: And you don't get that every year, right, you can

807
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: easily say Mahomes versus Herbert and going to Arrowhead or

808
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: Vegas Cowboys. They charged played the Cowboys a couple of

809
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: years ago. I think this is a unique opportunity for

810
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert to face Aaron Rodgers, maybe for the last

811
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: time in his career.

812
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 2: Up In, so I would say, Chargers Jets, what about you,

813
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: It's a great one. I'm gonna go Buffalo at home

814
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: on Saturday. To me, that's I believe both of these

815
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: teams are gonna be in the thick of it. It's

816
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 2: week sixteen. Holiday vibes, Josh, it's the It's December twenty third.

817
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: It's an early Christmas present, you know, son, daughter, We're

818
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: going to the game Saturday night, and we're still gonna

819
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: be at Grandma's for Christmas Eve, and you're still gonna

820
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: wake up Christmas morning and open all your Star Wars figures.

821
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: That Saturday night Buffalo, I just I feel like the

822
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: stakes are gonna be so high, much like Monday Night.

823
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: I would want the standalone game, knowing that the eyes

824
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: of the football nation are upon me and the game

825
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 2: that I'm watching. So it's it's one of the primetime games,

826
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: no doubt. And it's gonna be the first game ever

827
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 2: broadcast on Peacock as we continue to move towards streaming

828
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: and away from over the air broadcasts, So they're going

829
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 2: to pull out all the stops to try to make

830
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 2: this a real spectacle.

831
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: And I think it's a potential playoff preview.

832
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's a potential AFC championship game, potential divisional game,

833
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 2: potential wildcard game. And that's a really good Buffalo team,

834
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 2: and it's a really good Chargers team, and it's late

835
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 2: in the season.

836
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: So give me all that.

837
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look, if you told me, if you guaranteed

838
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 2: me that it's for the division Week eighteen at home

839
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: against the Chiefs, now.

840
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: That it's a no.

841
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 2: It's obviously a no brainer. Sunday night football. It's another

842
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: playoff game. Yeah right, they'll end up making that the

843
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: Remember they always do that with one game, right, So

844
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: that's what that game would become. It would become the

845
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: standalone Sunday night football game for the AFC West. If

846
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: you told me that that's what that game means, then yeah,

847
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: that's the no brainer. But I'll take Buffalo.

848
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: I like it. I like Buffalo, and you know you

849
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: can't go wrong. I mean, like the the home fans

850
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: be spoiled this year. You got you got a Chicago Bear.

851
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: You know, when a team like Chicago, like a big

852
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: market team comes in and it's a big game. It

853
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: just it feels like a big game Baltimore with with

854
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, a team you're gonna be competing with for

855
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: a division. Uh. You know we talked about Chargers Jets

856
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: on the road. Uh, I think Cowboys Chargers on Monday

857
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: Night football, Joe and Troy coming to so far Kellen

858
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: Moore versus Mike McCarthy. It's is Tony Polly gonna run

859
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: the ball forty five times? Is justin gonna throw it

860
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: sixty five times? You know what's gonna what's gonna happen

861
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: against against the Cowboys And then you know some of

862
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: these some of these games in the afternoon. Man, like

863
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: you said, like the Lions are opening the NFL season

864
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: at arrow hit. That's what they think of the Detroit

865
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: Lions this year. You know, so this is this is

866
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: a fun schedule. There's been a fun podcast, uh kind

867
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: of breaking it down. And it's always fun to look

868
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: back at, you know, what you thought in May versus

869
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: what happens with with injuries and teams get off to

870
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: a slow start and maybe making changes. You know, the

871
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: season always takes on a life of its own. But

872
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: it's fun to talk about. The NFL has remarkably made

873
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: this one of the biggest off season dates on the calendar. Man,

874
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: you know the opponents.

875
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: It's it's weird you already know the opponents, but the

876
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: way a lot does war If you're not familiar and

877
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 2: you're on social media, be sure to follow Warren Sharp.

878
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: He does a great job, Warren Sharp. And I think

879
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 2: is it Brian Burns? Is the name of the guy

880
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: at ESPN. I want to say that does a lot

881
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 2: of schedule and logistical Let me just type it in

882
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: to make sure I give credit where credit is?

883
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: Do? I feel like it's Brian Burns? Is his name?

884
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: Darn it?

885
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 2: He's at ESPN, But he and Warren Sharp do a

886
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: great job of breaking all this sort.

887
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: Of stuff down. Maybe it's not Brian burn Is it

888
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: Bruce whatever? Sorry, my great apologies. Hold on, Greg's here?

889
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: Who is it? Brian Burke? There? You go? See.

890
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: I probably didn't say Brian Burke because he was the

891
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: former general manager of the Anaheim Ducks. So is it

892
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:13,439
Speaker 2: Brian Burke?

893
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: Is that who it is? I see now I feel terrible.

894
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing about podcasts. Yeah, okay, it's uh.

895
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: I think it's Brian Burke ESPN. Yep, it is. But

896
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: the first Brian Burke, Okay, thank you ch for me

897
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,960

Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, there you go. Yeah Brian, that's

900
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: why I was. I couldn't get the Burke thing right.

901
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: But he's great to follow. Warren Sharp is great to follow.

902
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: They do things they They've got years and years of

903
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: data they break down to say, oh, back to back

904
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: road games, three in a row, road games. These are

905
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 2: the winning percentages that more rest than your opponent. These

906
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 2: are the winning percentages home prime time versus road prime time.

907
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 2: They break all of that down. So go through their timelines,

908
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: dig into those things because it's really cool. And if

909
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: you haven't seen it yet, if you're listening to this podcast,

910
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 2: obviously you saw it. But keep hitting pause and keep

911
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 2: picking up all those Easter eggs. Green Bay in the Darkness,

912
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 2: that was great, The little light in the light that

913
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 2: the lighter to get out of the darkness, New England,

914
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: The Spygate stuff with Bill Belichick watching overheads of all

915
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: the practices in the NFL stadium's phenomenal, so good, trying

916
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 2: to think we already talked about the Raiders called Sean

917
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 2: Payton taking Russell Wilson's office back.

918
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: Love that you gotta pause it because that's where all

919
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: the easter eggs are, you know, hundred percent like the darkness,

920
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: the darkness retreat when when the light comes on, there's

921
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of like all kinds of post notes on

922
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: the stuff in the background. Oh, I forget that. I

923
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: wanted to mention this too. J C. Jackson said, it's

924
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: a revenge game for me. I'm excited to go back

925
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: and pick mac Jones off and show them why they

926
00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: should have never let me go. So there we go.

927
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: JC calling his shot against against the Patriots in December,

928
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,759

931
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: And the only thing I can think of as to

932
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 2: why the Chargers didn't take a corner is because JC

933
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 2: is well on his way to be ready for Week one.

934
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,600
