1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: As a league.

2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Fifteen to ten touchdown Chargers, What's Up?

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 3: Everybody?

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 4: Welcome into a training camp edition of Chargers Weekly Joint

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 4: Practices with the New Orleans Saints Stay one of the books,

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 4: as always, joined by Matt Mudy Smith. Interviews with Gerald

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 4: Everett and Sebastian Joseph Day coming up. But Buddy, you

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 4: and I decided to stay on the offensive side of

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 4: the field today. I thought the one on one period

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 4: charges receivers were catching everything. It's again, it's hard to

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 4: glean and as somebody who's not a coach or a scout,

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 4: you don't know exactly what they're trying to do. But

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 4: everybody said good first day of work, especially on offense.

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so typically we probably had I thought about it,

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: should have split it up so you could have watched

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: the offense. I watched the defense, and we can kind

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: of recap everything here. But you know, that's normally what

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: I'll do is I'll stay on one field the first

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: day and go to the other field the next day.

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: So tomorrow ended up watching the defense. But in talking

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: to some folks, the defense had a great day. Derwin

22
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: had a pick, said they really kind of matched up

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: really well. Perhaps even you know, got the better of

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: the Saints' offense. I think you could maybe say that

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: as well. On the Chargers side, I think the Saints

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: defense maybe was slightly ahead, especially in the eleven on

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: elevens the red zone, had a real tough time punching

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: that thing in in the red zone.

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: He had a drop in the end zone. It was like,

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: what you say, nine times out of ten, he catch.

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Ten times out of ten, you know, in a game situation.

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: So they actually, you know, were able to get that opportunity.

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: Moved the ball pretty well. I thought the Ones moved

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well in the in the move the

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: ball period of elevens. I thought the protection was good.

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Just felt like, and look, it's it's one of the

37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: better secondaries, right You're talking about Marcus Latimore and Bradley

38
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: Roby and Marcus May's out there at a safety like

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: and it's a really good secondary. And I think those

40
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: were some battles out there in the in the eleven

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: out of Eleven's one thing I really took away though,

42
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: that to me is more important than anything else that

43
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: was going on out there, just because of what a

44
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: great camp he was having. Is Josh Palmer got got

45
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: some big ones, you know, Josh Palmer hack on the field,

46
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. So he's on the field, He's

47
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: not just trying to make his way back. He picked

48
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: up exactly where he left off, had some really good reps.

49
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: And uh, and that's all right going through We're gonna

50
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: talk to you in a minute anyway, so you might

51
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: as well. You might as well just kind of make yourself,

52
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: make yourself comfortable. Uh, Bastion going behind the camera. We'll

53
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: get to him in a in a little bit. But

54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: that's that to me was probably uh. And also to

55
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: have high Tower out there, you know, John high Tower

56
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: has had a really good camp, both of them, you know,

57
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: out there moving around like they have been all camp long.

58
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: I thought was very encouraging. Sam goes for the offensive line,

59
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, Trey Pickens kind of been sort of is

60
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: he in? Is he out? Is he? You know, Rashaan

61
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: was out with the illness. I thought the protection was

62
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: was really good. That's that's probably what I'm most excited about. Chris,

63
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: just watching the the game on Sunday and how well

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Zion and Jamari played with their reps in there, just

65
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: what the running game looked like. With them, the holes

66
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: they were blown open, and to see it again here today,

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: like that's it's very exciting. You know what that old

68
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: line is going to look like.

69
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: First of all, by the time you watch this or

70
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: listen to this, you probably have already seen the clip

71
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: of Keenan Allen's one handed catch great Bradley Roby. I

72
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: mean Keenan said a camp for the age. I mean

73
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: he looks he looks to me like he's in his

74
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: fifth year. You know, he's looked fantastic. Money mentioned Joshua Palmer,

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: who who left practice last week, and you know you're

76
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: you're always concerned when you see a player of his

77
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: caliber leaf practice, But to see him out here and

78
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: I'll echo Money, just what Palmer was able to do today,

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: I think you take great comfort in knowing that you

80
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: can go four deep, no problem with wide receiver. High

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: Tower was a guy we were looking forward to seeing

82
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: last week who did not play. That is gonna get

83
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 4: good work this week and then hopefully play on Sunday.

84
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: So be another guy. And how about the guys we

85
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: talked to on Chargers Weekly last week. Darius Davis gets.

86
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: His touchdowns will happen on site and then.

87
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: And then Isaiah gets a seventy one yard touchdown called back,

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: but he was he was averaging five point two yards

89
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 4: a clip. I think, like you said, the running game

90
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: was the was the best surprise, pleasant surprise I think

91
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 4: of the weekend.

92
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: No doubt. I mean, you know, Joshua Kelly averaged six

93
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: plus yards per carry. I think Isaiah Spiller was just

94
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: under that. And that's without the seventy one yard run

95
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: that would have put him at like fifteen yards per carry.

96
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: And then of course the star of the game if

97
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: he holding.

98
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: Call me like, I don't know, it doesn't it gets

99
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: caught sometimes, it doesn't get called sometimes.

100
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: And I'm you know, Jordan McFadden. You know it's in

101
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: the jersey and it's a tug right in the hole

102
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: where he's running through what I but what I would

103
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: say is I think Isaiah gets through that anyway. It

104
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: didn't look like you wouldn't wear them up. I have

105
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: been an art tackle that slows him down a little bit.

106
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: But you know what what you take away from that

107
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: is breakaway speed. Right, So he's at the second level

108
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: of the defense. He's slightly ahead of the secondary player.

109
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: It was a safety. I can't remember I think it

110
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: was a safety that was trying to run and he's

111
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: running away from him. So like that's the takeaway. It's like, okay,

112
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: so now we know, I say, Spill's got breakaway speed.

113
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: You know, he's running away, he's building a gap between

114
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: him and the safety and making his way seventy one

115
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: yards into the end zone. He's not getting caught from behind.

116
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: That's what was great about that rep that you can

117
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: take away. Elijah Dotson obviously was the star of the game.

118
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: I mean, the hitt in that corner and the burst

119
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: was just incredible, not to mention the first touchdown where

120
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: he just freaking trucks Torrents. Yeah, he's and look, we

121
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: talked we've talked about him, and you can see it

122
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: out here, and that's what's great when you can see

123
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, just think about some of the players that

124
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: we've talked about that have impressed us. Scott Malock had

125
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: a monster game. Like he looked like, Okay, he's not

126
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: just gonna make the roster. Obviously he's gonna make it.

127
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: He's a draft Well I guess not all six round

128
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: picks make it, but like that dude's gonna be in

129
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the rotation and Austin Johnson was out here today, which

130
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: was I had no idea. We'll talk to Sebastian about that,

131
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: but I had no idea he was gonna be back

132
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: in past today when he's taking reps and he's doing

133
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven's and the whole, you know, the whole deal.

134
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: So that was beautiful. But like Mattlock's gonna play man.

135
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: That dude wrecked shop against by the way, against starters,

136
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: so it's tu Ley, it's Rumph and it's and it's

137
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: Matt Lock on the interior. Ram started their own line,

138
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: like that's their starting, no line because they needed to

139
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: get reps with those guys with Vila, who's their sucond

140
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: round pick with Aleric. They're trying to figure out what

141
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: their combos are gonna be. So you know, I don't

142
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: think no Boom or Havenstein were out there, but I

143
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: don't think they were. They might have been point being

144
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Interior was there. That's their starting you know, brass and

145
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: those dudes were out there and Matlocke was wrecking shop.

146
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: So that's encouraging. I know I'm not going in reverse there, Chris,

147
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: but like I think, you know, takeaways bread and butter Right.

148
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: We talked about this with Asia Spiller. Hey, do you

149
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, every run game kind of needs

150
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: that play that you feel good about it? He was like, oh, yeah,

151
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: we got it, and so I think you saw that right.

152
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: They were able to run through the tackles, They were

153
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: decisive the patients, you know Spiller to kind of let

154
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: that hole open up and then he's threw it like

155
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: it was. It was a lot of fun to watch.

156
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: Well, that was the missing link last year. And you know,

157
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: we've talked about how the offense really head to cater

158
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: to the personnel last year and how Austin was just

159
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: getting dunk and dunk and hundred and twenty seven targets.

160
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: If the running game looks like that, Alstin's not going

161
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: to see hundred and twenty seven targets. He's going to

162
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: be fresh throughout the season and you're gonna have I mean,

163
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a heck of a battle the

164
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: next couple of games. Money between Kelly and Spiller and Dotson.

165
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: You know, they they wave Larry Rowntree because.

166
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Obviously obviously Dotson out played them.

167
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, so in some of the off like when I

168
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: say that's it's hard to gleak. You don't know what

169
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: they're working on out here, right, you don't know what

170
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: they're working on against the Saints. So you know, I

171
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: thought that some of the some of the offense today

172
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 4: was a little bit slow. You saw some bright spots,

173
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: But that running game on Sunday is what I'm looking

174
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: forward to seeing in the game.

175
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Well, and if Elijah Dotson has another day like he

176
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: did this past Saturday, you know, it's I don't think

177
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: there's any way they get rid of Joshua Kelly or

178
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: Isaiah Spiller. So I think the conversation becomes four, how

179
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: do we how do we make room for four running backs?

180
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, there are not a lot of teams that

181
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: do that, And so I think that's where you start

182
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: to ask, you know, the question. The nice thing, you know,

183
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: one of the one of the interesting things is going

184
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: to be you know, we saw with Darius and you know,

185
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: you asked him, you put it on him, you made

186
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: him call a shot, and you know the eighty one

187
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: yards that speed is crazy, that's legit. What did Buddy

188
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: said or what did you say? It's real and it's

189
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: spectacular exactly, and it is and so that's the question, like, hey,

190
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: is it. Can we can we get away with having

191
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: him be that? And now maybe you don't, you know,

192
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: you save a spot because Darius is gonna get maybe

193
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: some more offensive snaps. Can you figure out a way

194
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: to make that work to take the top off. But

195
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what when you're trying to put

196
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: fifty three together. You know, if he has another day

197
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: like that, he ain't hiding on the practice squad. You know,

198
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: team's gonna come get him. And and so you know

199
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: when we talked to him, we talked to him after

200
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: the game, DJ and I did, and you know, he

201
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: mentioned he was very realistic about it. He's like, I

202
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do. He's like, I

203
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: got to up my spec team reps. You know, he

204
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: goes that's so he knows because there's a lot of

205
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: really good special teams players on this team, you know

206
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Aim and you know hol of our Hormath, Like these

207
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: dudes play legit special teams and that's important when you're

208
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: putting together your fifty three. So I think he knows. Okay,

209
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: if I got a legit shot to make it, I

210
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: got a I'm gonna have to make it there as well,

211
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: and so I think that's something that's worth watching as well.

212
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: When you're keeping an eye on the game is kickoff

213
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: and punt return and then you know cover you know,

214
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: is he out there and what's he doing.

215
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: So last week we talked to a pair of young

216
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: guys that made a difference in the game and Isaiah

217
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 4: Spiller Darius Davis. Today, figure we talked to a pair

218
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: of starters that you know, this is where they're getting

219
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: that work. Sebastian Joseph day in a little bit. But

220
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 4: for all the talk of all these weapons on offense,

221
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: I feel like sometimes this guy gets lost to the shuffle.

222
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: Gerald Everett all right, guys, as promised tight end. Gerald

223
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: Everett joined us day one of joint practices with the Saints. Gerald,

224
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: we always hear for the starters, this is the most

225
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: important time of camp. But what was Day one?

226
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: Like? Day one was cool?

227
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 5: You know, obviously the sun was sunning, but you know

228
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 5: we have a tip yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it was

229
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 5: it was a blast. You know, we came out, got

230
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 5: some good work and you know they came out physical,

231
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 5: so did we, and energy was pretty high today.

232
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see how tomorrow and face off.

233
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: You always Chris said it. You know, everybody talks about

234
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: how valuable these reps are, How close is it to game?

235
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: What is it about joint practices, particularly what you're going

236
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: through that makes this a big part of training camp?

237
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, joint practices gives you the element of

238
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: practicing someone other than your own team. But New Orleans

239
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 5: being a great organization, always had great players, and my

240
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 5: from my perspective, offensive offensive player. They've always had a

241
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: great defense and you know, players like Cam Jordan, Marcus Lattimore.

242
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 5: I mean, they're gonna come out and they're going to

243
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: play and give you a real game, game like feel

244
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 5: and scenario. So you know, it felt good coming out

245
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: scrimmaging against those guys and you know, popping the pass

246
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 5: against other other people than our town team.

247
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: You know, Joe, we've talked so much about this wide

248
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: receiving core. It's deservedly so, right with Mike and Keenan

249
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 4: and what Josh did last year and Quinton coming in,

250
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: But what about year old ever in this offense? You know,

251
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: I think about maybe your best game as a Charger

252
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: was that playoff game. Just kind of building on that success.

253
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you know that actually was probably my best

254
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 5: performance of last season. I think, you know, it came

255
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 5: at the right time in the playoffs, and that's how

256
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 5: you kind of want to end the season. You know,

257
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 5: we didn't want to end it that way and the loss,

258
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: but you know, from my own perspective, I definitely felt

259
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 5: like I was hitting my peak right at the right

260
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 5: time and it's going to go home, So I mean,

261
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 5: you know, what more can you ask for?

262
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: Is that weird for you to have played your best

263
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: game in a game that ends that way and everybody's

264
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: kind of feeling the way they are on the plane

265
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: on the way home, but you actually had a really

266
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: good game.

267
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, the good performance doesn't really

268
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 5: mean much if the team does isn't victorious. But yeah,

269
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 5: as far as the season goes, you know, I had

270
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 5: I had a pretty decent season, but the playoff playoff

271
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 5: game definitely was the epitome of my season. And you know,

272
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 5: on the right home, it was very depressing and the

273
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: energy was very low on the plane, but you know,

274
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 5: I had some good clips and something to kind of

275
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 5: carry on to the next season, to the offseason, and

276
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 5: it felt pretty good.

277
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: How much, you know, we always hear it doesn't carry

278
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: over the next season momentum and all that, Yeah, start

279
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: over again. But how much do you think that played

280
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: into maybe the tight end room staying the way it did.

281
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of talk about, oh, you know,

282
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: Kellen Morre's coming over, You're gonna bring someone with him.

283
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: It's a great tight end draft there in a drafts

284
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: on and they were really clearly Tom Telluska was comfortable

285
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: with what was in that room. How big of a

286
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: part of it do you think it was? Kind of

287
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: what you guys were able to do as you closed

288
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: out last season.

289
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 5: I just think, you know, the practice reps translates to

290
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 5: game performance, and you know, I was starting to really

291
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: heat up toward the end of the season, the Denver game,

292
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 5: the Jacksonville game obviously, and you know.

293
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: The Rams game.

294
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 5: So just you know, trying to put together better and

295
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 5: better performances being a complete player and even better teammate.

296
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 5: You know, I appreciate, you know, Tom and the rest

297
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: of the guys upstairs for believing in me. But you know,

298
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 5: that's the game, that's the nation of the game. You know,

299
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: if someone comes in through the draft through free agency,

300
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 5: you know they still have to compete, and even though

301
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 5: they didn't draft anyone, you know, he still got to compete.

302
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 3: So either way it goes, it's competition.

303
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,479
Speaker 4: This offense changes though, with Kellen Moore as the controls.

304
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: How different is it from you compared to last season?

305
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: And did you watch Dulton Schultz for instance, and what

306
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 4: he did in that offense last year and kind of

307
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: see how that may translate to maybe some of the

308
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 4: things you may do.

309
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: But Dalton and I are too completely different players.

310
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 5: I think you know, he was extremely successful in the

311
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 5: Dallas offense in Dallas, Texas. So you know the parts

312
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 5: we have here on offense with Mike and Keenan, Yeah,

313
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 5: we have different components. So you know, I looked at

314
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 5: the tape and the concepts they did schematically and it

315
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 5: was some good work. It was just you know, you

316
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 5: come over here, we have a total new equation and

317
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: you just have to see how all the fitting parts

318
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 5: go together.

319
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: Well, you can say, too, you're an athlete. You're not

320
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: a tight end or a wide receiver. You're an athlete.

321
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: That's how you probably yourself on playing. Is it an

322
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 4: offense where you can see yourself in a lot of

323
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: different spots making and.

324
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: Impacts for sure. For sure.

325
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 5: I mean since I've been in the league, going back

326
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: to twenty seventeen, you know, the Rams had me playing

327
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 5: all over the field, outside, inside, in line, the backfield,

328
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 5: ball carrier, blocker, receiver.

329
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, nothing against Dalton, you just

330
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 3: I haven't seen them do much of that.

331
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 5: And you know, I think when Ke came over, you know,

332
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 5: he's watched a bunch of our tape and you know

333
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 5: from the screen game and from the jet sweeps. It's just,

334
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 5: you know, things that we'll be able to do that

335
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: Dallas didn't do last year or the years prior.

336
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: Cheryl, give us an idea because you know you're here,

337
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: we're and I bring it up. I don't know how

338
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: close you pay attention to college football, but you know,

339
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Brock Bauers, Georgia's guy's a total freak uniforn He's going

340
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: to be a top five pick. I heard that about

341
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts and TJ. Hocketts, And you go through the

342
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: list and these guys to get drafted really high, it

343
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: just seems like it takes tight ends a minute. Is there?

344
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: You got drafted high? You know the Rams drafted two

345
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: tight ends. You and Higby together. But is there something

346
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: about kind of that transition from college to the pros

347
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: that it takes tight ends a minute to kind of

348
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: get settled in and figure things out.

349
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: Well, Tyler, he got drafted a year before I did,

350
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 5: so he came in the year prior previous. But yeah,

351
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 5: as far as the tight end position, it's you know,

352
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: you have to be a complete player from all faster

353
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 5: of the game, even special teams. Fortunately, you know, I

354
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: don't play spucch of teams anymore happened than that in

355
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 5: a couple of years, but fortunately fortunately you know, Yeah,

356
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 5: but as a tight end, you know, you have to

357
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: really profertra craft and there out running and the past

358
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 5: game and the run game and the blocking techniques with

359
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: the old line and just being coachable above all else.

360
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 5: And you know everyone has talent in the NFL. It's

361
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 5: just you know, how well can you be coached? You know,

362
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 5: how how well can you come to work every day

363
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 5: consistently and be the same guy. You know, no matter

364
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 5: what's going on outside of the building or in your

365
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 5: personal life, you still have to come to work with

366
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 5: the same attitude, positivity.

367
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: You know, we talked about how just context matters when

368
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: you talk about this offense. Last year, Justin had the

369
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: broken rib, Carlins your Week's seventeen, hurt his shoulder at

370
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 4: the end, a lot of injuries, your left tackles out here,

371
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: and Micro Knight in the lineup for a large stretch

372
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 4: of the season right right, you guys couldn't really get

373
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: down field. Jalen Guitton was hurt, you know, so you

374
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: guys really had to kind of cater to what you had.

375
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: When you see Justin healthy and doing what he's doing

376
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: in this office, just like early impressions of him into

377
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: controls with a healthy.

378
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: Roster, he's a sight to see, you know, obviously a

379
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 5: new contract in hand, but he's you know, he's rested

380
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 5: up and healed up, and he battled and battled last

381
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: year through injury and through the ups and downs. But

382
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 5: I can't say enough about Justin's a great guy off

383
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 5: the field, great performer on the field, and you know,

384
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: I think all the success that he's having, it's just

385
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: well deserved.

386
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: In terms of I know Chris kind of brought it up,

387
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: but what's different about the offense. You know, you mentioned

388
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Kellen kind of watched a lot of what you're doing.

389
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean you had a great season last year, is

390
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: you just asked me to do a lot of the

391
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: same stuff.

392
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 5: What's changed about the offense? I would say just our

393
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 5: level of connectivity. We have a much much tighter knitted

394
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: group this year. I think we spend a lot more

395
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: time together off the field and meetings. You know, it's

396
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: not obviously in the NFL is a very serious business

397
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 5: and we're pro so outside of that. You know, we're

398
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 5: actually boys, and last year, you know, we're kind of

399
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: we're just playing together, you know, and really trying to

400
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 5: find that chemistry and that camaraderie.

401
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: But any reason why you think?

402
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 5: I think with it being a new group, and with

403
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: any new job going into a new or foreign environment,

404
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: you know, you try to find your fit. You try

405
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 5: to find the level of comfort, comfortable or to be comfortable,

406
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: and you know last year was kind of hard to

407
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 5: find that being so fresh. But you know, having the

408
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 5: second year in the same group, being together for the

409
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 5: most part, you know, I think that really translates and

410
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 5: correlates to the success that we've been having in camp

411
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 5: and the success will have this season.

412
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: Do you feel that overroll, like from a culture perspective,

413
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: even the guys on defense, Like you know, Bash wasn't here.

414
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: That was his first year last year, right, some of

415
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 4: these guys that Staley's brought in on both sides of

416
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 4: the ball, I think you're seeing like baby steps nine

417
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 4: or eight to ten and seven to hopefully a Super

418
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 4: Bowl run this year. How does the locker room feel

419
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 4: different right now in comparison a year ago today?

420
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: The energy?

421
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 5: You know, I would point at the energy just when

422
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 5: I first came in. You know, the defense obviously had

423
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 5: more of a tighter group because they had been together

424
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 5: for so long. And obviously, you know, players come and go,

425
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: coaches come and go, but you know, they had a

426
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 5: good foundation on defense, and obviously Brandon being a defensive

427
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 5: coordinator minded head coach, you know, he's trying to keep

428
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 5: these guys together. But offensively, you know, it's a new

429
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 5: group and guys are coming from other teams, and as

430
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: you saw, Nas retired last year, so you know, other

431
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: than that, I don't think many defensive players left. So

432
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 5: just our group coming together for that set year and

433
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 5: really just having you know, that respect and just knowing

434
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 5: what to expect from each other.

435
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: You mentioned, you know, trying to improve every year, you know,

436
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: a year upon year and stacking those What about the

437
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: run game this year, you know, really struggle last year

438
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: looked darn good in preseason game one. How does that

439
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: feel and how does that change what's asked of you?

440
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: Well, you know that's that's that's credit to coach Foster.

441
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 5: You know the running backs, you know, hitting their holes

442
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: and making their reads and just trusting what they see.

443
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 5: You know, obviously we had some top performers in the

444
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: running back room last week. And you know the young guys,

445
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 5: I can't say enough about him to come to work

446
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: and you know they're solid and trustworthy and just to

447
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 5: keep building off.

448
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: Of that day by day as camp progress.

449
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: This last thing for me just the room right with

450
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: with with Donald healthy and Trey. Any of these young

451
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 4: guys cult your eye too, whether they're in the game

452
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 4: we're on practice.

453
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 5: Field Stone smart for sure, just you know, making a

454
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 5: transition quarterback to tight end, you know he's he's taking

455
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 5: it like a sponge and really just you know, honing

456
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 5: in on physicality and the technique. And you know, I

457
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 5: remember when I first came into the tight end position

458
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 5: and just trying to learn the ways, the ins and outs,

459
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 5: you know what worked and what didn't work. And you know,

460
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 5: to see him specifically just come to work with the

461
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 5: same attitude and the mentality that he has, you know,

462
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: as it makes me as the leader of the room.

463
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: It makes me excited.

464
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 5: And you know, I can't say enough about him, but Donald,

465
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 5: you know, getting him back from injury and seeing him

466
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 5: start to roll really and seeing him come, you know,

467
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 5: get me or you know I come get him and

468
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 5: practice or in scrimmage. You know, we have high expectations

469
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 5: for the entire room, not just myself for him, but

470
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 5: from the coaching standard too. You know, we want to

471
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: just have a super Bowl mentality, super Bowl standard, and

472
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 5: we're trying to chase that super Bowl and have a

473
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 5: good run this year.

474
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Last thing. Then Gerald just fun to watch from where

475
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: we sit, you know, high above in the preseason game,

476
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: to see the eruption for Elijah, the eruption for CJ. Koye.

477
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: What is it? You know, I do you feel like

478
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: there's you guys have a job or responsibility as veterans

479
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: on that sideline that you guys actually do have something

480
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: that you need to accomplish in those games that you're

481
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: not playing for.

482
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 5: Sure, responsibility, But I think you know, it has to

483
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 5: be genuine, it has to be real. You know, to

484
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: see CJ come out and you know ball and toward

485
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 5: the end of the game get that sack, you know

486
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 5: it was triumph. And you know Elijah turned the corner

487
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 5: for not one but two touchdowns. I think, you know,

488
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 5: that's just triumph, you know, just seeing him find success

489
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: in a new environment. Obviously we're all fighting for a

490
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: job and position on the roster, but you know, this

491
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 5: is our lives and our livelihoods.

492
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: So you know, to see those.

493
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: Guys come out and ball in their debut was amazing. Really,

494
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 5: so you know what you saw on the sideline was

495
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 5: just every bit of just feeling proud and you know

496
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 5: the connectivity that I.

497
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: Mentioned before we talked about the Chargers explosive offense. Don't

498
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 4: forget about number seven. We want to get to Miami Dolphins. Joe,

499
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 4: we appreciate your time.

500
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 3: Thank you, guys, I appreciate it.

501
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 4: He's number fifty one in your program now. Sebastian Joseph

502
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 4: Day joins a serial Chargers weekly. Sebacily, it's always hard

503
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: to catch up with both fields. We were on this

504
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 4: field today. Tell me what happened on your field.

505
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 5: A lot of guys flying around, a lot of good communication,

506
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 5: a lot of positive plays, but there's still so much

507
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 5: room to improve, you know. It's it's crazy if you

508
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 5: compare last year this time when we had our joint

509
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: practice at this time, night and day. Definitely, but and

510
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 5: the scary things. I feel like there's still so much

511
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 5: more weakend. I just think, you know, a lot of

512
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 5: guys are comfortable. I think you know, and it's not

513
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 5: been saying a lot. It's a lot of the media.

514
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: You know, it's one thing to get it to get

515
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 5: you know, when you get a bunch of new guys

516
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 5: coming on the team, it's one thing to get those

517
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 5: guys on the team.

518
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 3: There's no thing to be a team, right.

519
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 5: I feel like football is such a is such a

520
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 5: team sport that people need to play with each other

521
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 5: to know how each other think, right, Like D line

522
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 5: for example, D line needs D line need those reps,

523
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 5: need those reps over and over and over again. To

524
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 5: know how I passed rush, how Morgan passed rushes with Khalil,

525
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 5: or how I passed rush with Joey, or me knowing

526
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 5: how Joey likes to do certain things.

527
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, and the same thing on

528
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: the back end.

529
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 5: It's about communication and feel you know, Derwin communicating to

530
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 5: the other safety in the corners and Eric, you know,

531
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 5: communicating with K nine and the safeties. It really is,

532
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 5: it's all it's It really is about reps more, reps

533
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 5: more more. I'm together is getting comfortable, And I think

534
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 5: that's what it is. I think a lot of guys

535
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 5: are comfortable. Guys like K nine are super comfortable. Guys

536
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 5: like j T. Woods are getting super coupable, Guys like

537
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 5: A low He are getting super comfortable. Guys like you know, Joey.

538
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 5: Joey missed half a season. He's back, you know, he's

539
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 5: just picking up where he left off. So I just think,

540
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 5: you know, that's why I think there's so much more

541
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 5: that we could improve on, even though we're doing a

542
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 5: good job so far. And I know it's kind of

543
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 5: a long winded answer, but.

544
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: It's a great She asked, a short question, get the

545
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: long answers. A long question, get a short answer.

546
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 4: It's a great because it also shows like the difference

547
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 4: between last year and this year too, Like like for you,

548
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: how how different does it feels? Just like an overall

549
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 4: leader because you were brought in to really kind of

550
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 4: change the culture on this defense.

551
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: You knew it.

552
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: We saw your impact both as a leader and as

553
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 4: a player.

554
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 5: How is it different, you know, I would just say, well,

555
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: first off, they're multiple leaders here, you know, of course,

556
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 5: you know, and I think even the transaction of bringing

557
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 5: Eric here's helped tremendously.

558
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 3: I think.

559
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 5: To answer your question, Rome wasn't built in the day,

560
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 5: and it's about those little wins, you know, It's about

561
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 5: getting to know one another, It's about hanging out more.

562
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 5: And I don't really don't know how to answer that.

563
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 5: I just think it's a cultural thing. It's just showing

564
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 5: true It's just showing true love for your brother, you know,

565
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 5: like riding for your brother. She's getting to know him,

566
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 5: getting to know him outside of the facility, getting to

567
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: know him his family and meeting his family, meeting his kids,

568
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: and talking to him about life that beyond football. And

569
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 5: I think those are the things that ultimately bring people

570
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: closer together as a team. You know. I think a

571
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: lot of people look at it as oh, you know,

572
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 5: we got this player, this player, this player, we should

573
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 5: be good. But ultimately it never works that way, man,

574
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 5: It never works that way. And I know from example,

575
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 5: cause I've been around it. You know, twenty eighteen, we

576
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 5: had nothing but superstars. In my previous employment with the

577
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Rams, we had DOMINKINSU, Marcus Peters, Talib Aaron Donald,

578
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 5: Michael brock All first round is right, But we didn't

579
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 5: win the super Bowl, right because it wasn't that It

580
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 5: wasn't that cohes like.

581
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. We were a good team.

582
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 5: We were were talented, very most talented team all that

583
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: field by far. But you know, when it came down

584
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 5: to that connectiveness, when had it come down to the

585
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 5: end and and you know, winning that winning that game,

586
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 5: that big game, we weren't able to get connected and

587
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: do it.

588
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: So I know, I don't know.

589
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 5: I guess my experiences kind of have seen it both sides,

590
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: us winning and us not winning and what the difference was,

591
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 5: because honestly, if I keep it a buck in twenty twenty,

592
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 5: I don't think we were as talented as we were then.

593
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 5: You know, we had what you know, our two very

594
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 5: highly superstars were probably Jaalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald, but

595
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 5: then what else? So then it was you know, the

596
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: it was guys that got out the mud guys like me,

597
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 5: Blake round picks, Darius Williams, undrafted free agent, you know,

598
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 5: and we were able to go and do what we did.

599
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: So yeah again, sorry along with your question what we

600
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: want to.

601
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: Know, if that makes sense, we had a nice surprise today,

602
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: probably not for you guys, but.

603
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: You know, oh man, my boy, yeah, oh man, it's

604
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: it's so good seeing that.

605
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: Man.

606
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 5: I mean, you see a guy like that, you know, vetted,

607
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 5: you know, put in the work, you know, grinding through it.

608
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 5: The way he got hurt, horrible, hate to see it

609
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 5: and see the way he's battled through adversity to come back. Man,

610
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 5: it's just a testament to his character, a testament to

611
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: who he is as a person, just to be able

612
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 5: to battle through that.

613
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 3: And come back.

614
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 5: Like my man broke his femur toward you know, something

615
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 5: in his knee, like bro Like I don't think y'all understand.

616
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 5: Like this guy went through hell and back then he

617
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 5: had they had to get fixed up again, you know,

618
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,520

Speaker 3: I love y'all, none but love.

693
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 5: But they think we robots, you know, they don't think that.

694
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 5: They don't understand that we're human beings as well. You know,

695
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 5: we got emotions, you know, they got they got amazing stories.

696
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 5: Like for example, I love telling the story Coach Stanley,

697
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 5: like what he went through. And I'm not just saying this,

698
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 5: so I'm not saying this is just you know, just

699
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 5: sa but his story is really amazing, like went through

700
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 5: had cancer, beat it and became a head coach, came

701
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 5: to you know, started his way from from Juco D

702
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 5: three then you know, position coach, then us getting the

703
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 5: number one then with the Rams number one defense and

704
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 5: now here you know, like why that happened while battling cancer,

705
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 5: Like you know how motivating that is for people to

706
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 5: hear stuff like that, seeing that Joey Boso loves guitar,

707
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 5: loves playing the guitar and he's just a regular do

708
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 5: like everyone else.

709
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: Like I think what I love about that.

710
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 5: Because it gets to put it gets to put the

711
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: fans in perspective of the players that hey, man, like, yeah,

712
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: these guys are normal guys as well, and they got

713
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 5: you know, they got emotions, they got feelings that they

714
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 5: went through a lot of things to get to where

715
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 5: they're at, and it could be motivating for them.

716
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: You know, they could use as a motivation as well

717
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: as they could.

718
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: It's the path, that's what it is. That's what's different

719
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: about you guys, is it's the pads and there's there's

720
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: a disconnect. Whereas basketball, baseball, you see it kind of hockey.

721
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: They got helmets the states there behind glass, there's just

722
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: a it's a little bit.

723
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: Different helmets though.

724
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: Well it's like it's like this exactly exactly they would prefer.

725
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: They're so freaking crazy crazy this Now this has gone

726
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: off the rails, but you know, and we don't want

727
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: to keep it too long.

728
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: No, that's fine.

729
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever had I was in I used to

730
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: travel a lot for work and in Jersey, I remember

731
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: someone took me to get this meat roll. It was

732
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: like a pork roll.

733
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: This is a debate.

734
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Is a debate, okay, port right, So what the hell

735
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: is this is the grocery looking thing I've ever seen.

736
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: It's the best thing of It was really good, so

737
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 4: good every summer we had house in LBI.

738
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: There you go, Jersey.

739
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,440

740
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: you this right now. I get disappointed every time I'm

741
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 5: out here and they say you want to get a

742
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 5: breakfast sanwich. I'm like, no, I don't want one, because

743
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: it's not a breakfast sandwich. Y'all get these big, these

744
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: big meaty these big meaty buns and this little tiny

745
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 5: piece of I don't know what it is, sausage and

746
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 5: the eggs.

747
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: It's not interested. I'm sorry. Listen, y'all.

748
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 5: Y'all want some good breakfast sandwiches, some good Perswami sandwiches.

749
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 5: Give me some Italian, some good Italian sandwiches. Go to

750
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 5: the East Coast, Jersey, New York, Philly. Listen, y'all get

751
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 5: the best sandwiches, the best delis.

752
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: There is a difference, though, what you can't get out there,

753
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: which I think, for me personally better than a breakfast sandwich.

754
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: Breakfast burrito California. Yes, we got breakfast.

755
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: I got that. Y'all got.

756
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: All that, and I guess that's a question. You want sandwich,

757
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: want to burrito.

758
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: Sandwich all day?

759
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: I'll take it because because again again, something about that practice.

760
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: Sound listen.

761
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 5: East Coasters just know the combination of like meat to

762
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 5: egg to that whole it figured out, but it just

763
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 5: figured out.

764
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 3: It's the perfect. It's perfect, and it's just immaculate. I

765
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: don't know what to say. I don't know.

766
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: Get you in a good mood.

767
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 4: Last one for me, you talk about just humanizing players. Man,

768
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: The CJ A Corey story is amazing. I actually I

769
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 4: interviewed him before the game, not having any idea that

770
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 4: that was gonna happen. You called that moment.

771
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: It was incredible.

772
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 5: It was.

773
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: It was one of the team job I've seen because

774
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: of the emotion you and everybody else showed on the sideline.

775
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 5: Listen, man, that story is amazing. I remember when we

776
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 5: brought CJ. And Coach told me, Hey, we're gonna have

777
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 5: a guy in he's never played football before.

778
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: I said, what said? He never played football?

779
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 5: He told me about the program, and because we had

780
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 5: someone like that in my previous employment, so I was like,

781
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 5: oh my god. But like D Line is different. You know,

782
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 5: he was an old lineman. D line is different, Like

783
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 5: it's very physical, very fast. You know, everything happens really fast.

784
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 5: And CJ man, his growth from that first OTA when

785
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 5: he came in with the rookies to now is astonishing.

786
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: I mean he's learning so fast. He's uh, he's coming

787
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 5: out of his shell. He is a grinder. I come here,

788
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 5: I try, I prod myself on, trying to be here

789
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 5: first and get warmed up with my hands and everything

790
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 5: with coach tm MoU and Corey, and he's there with

791
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 5: me every day with Corey legit, working at it, grinding

792
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 5: it out. And seeing a guy like that coming, you know,

793
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 5: that far away from his family, being that far away,

794
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 5: think about that Cross, You got no family, nobody, and

795
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 5: he's here just trying to make a name for himself

796
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 5: and make his family proud. I mean, couldn't have happened

797
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 5: to a better person. He's if you talk to him,

798
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 5: as kind of soul man like and he's just so humble,

799
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 5: so much humility. He just wants to get better. So,

800
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 5: you know, kudos to CJ. But it's so funny because

801
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,360

00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,120

Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta do what. You gotta practice it, practice,

807
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,040

Speaker 5: a sack. So we kept saying that he don't get one.

810
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 5: He said, but don't forget your sack dance. Don't forget

811
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,839

Speaker 5: it like it just happened, like you know, and it happened.

813
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 5: The moment happened, and it was just great man. And

814
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 5: again he didn't even know it was a sack anyway.
