1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Chris Avery with you on a brand

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: new episode of Chargers Weekly. We were off last week

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: on vacation. Back at IT training camp just a couple

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: of weeks away, and listen. We've talked at nauseam about

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: MIDI camp and predictions for the upcoming season. I always

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: like to spend this time before camp talking about the Chargers'

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: rivals in the AFC West and joined me now Desha

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: read of the Athletic covers the Raiders does an awesome

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: job coming right off of vacation to Shah, I appreciate it, man.

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: Oh, no problem, man, I have to get back into

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: the workflows. It's a good way to start the week.

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: Well.

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what I was just telling you offline,

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: The Raiders made so many off season moves. I don't

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: even really know where to begin. So I'll throw it

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: to you. Just what do you think was the most

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: notable all season move and then we can kind of

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: get into everything. Yeah.

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: I think in terms of their acquisitions, Yannak and Gotway

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: stands out. Obviously, the defense as a whole was a

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: disaster for the Raiders last year, but one of their

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: primary issues was was generating the past rush and you know,

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: he's been one of the more prolific pass rushers in

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: the league the last few years. And they got him

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: on a two year deal at a number that I

27
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: feel like people thought was a little bit lower than

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: he might have gotten out on the open market. And so,

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: you know, as we've seen with the Raiders in recent years,

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: some of their big free agency agency signings haven't worked out.

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: And so this kind of signal changed your approach of

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: a you know, two year deal instead of maybe you know,

33
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: a three or four year deal or less of a

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: financial commitment, but still bringing in a player that could

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: potentially make a big impact. And so I think that

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: you know, not only for the impact that could have

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: on the field, but kind of you know, vision change.

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: It kind of signaled a little bit in terms of

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: how their approaching free agency was probably the most notable acquisition.

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: You know, I'm kind of cheating a little bit, But

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: on the flip side, I think, you know, you can't

42
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: talk about it without you know, them pretty much reconstructing

43
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: the offensive line with some some moves that were expected,

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: you know, given you know, Trent Brown not really playing

45
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: much his two years with the team. You know, I

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: don't think it's surprised anybody for them to trade him

47
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: and move off from his salary. Probably the same for

48
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: Gabe Jackson, even though he was a good player. You know,

49
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: almost ten million dollars for a guard in this league.

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: That's pretty steep. You have to be playing at a

51
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: you know, almost an all pro level. And while he

52
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: was good, he wasn't great, and so that made sense

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: to move on. But you know, even still to this day,

54
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: the Rodney Hudson trade, sending him to the Cardinals, I

55
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: think that shocked me and about everybody else, especially considering

56
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: his backup Andrew James is only played one game in

57
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: his career so far. So I would say, you know,

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: the two biggest stories for them are the addition of

59
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: Yannick and then you know, what does the offensive line

60
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: look like now after all those subtractions and pretty much

61
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: blowing up that unit when it was you know, one

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: of the biggest strengths in their team. And so those

63
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: are probably my two biggest takeaways coming out of this offseason.

64
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I think that's what struck me the most is that

65
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, they were strong offensively and they had a

66
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: really good offensive line. You have the weapons I'm and

67
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: back ye had Kenyan Drake to the backfield. But the

68
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: question mark with the offensive line. You get Leatherwood in

69
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: the first round. How do you envision the chemistry and

70
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: just that unit looking especially early in the year.

71
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna be some growing pains, you know what I mean.

72
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: I mean Andre James this is his first time really

73
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: being a starter in his career. So while he's not

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: a rookie, it's almost like a rookie season in the

75
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: sense that he has to build that chemistry and the

76
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: camaraderie with the offensive line, you know, Richie and Cognito.

77
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: Even though he's a veteran. You know, he only played

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: you know, about a game and a quarter last year

79
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: due to injuries, So he's gonna have to get back

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: into it, you know, not just physically, but working out

81
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: with these new guys that he's playing alongside of. He's

82
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: going to be sandwiching between Andrew James and Alex Luggerwood

83
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: on that on the right side in all likelihood, and

84
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: so uh, you know, I think across the line, you know,

85
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: they have some familiar faces. Obviously, Colpin Miller got the

86
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: big extension of offseason in terms of play he's probably

87
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: gon to be the leader of the group, while you know,

88
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: Incognito is the vocal leader of the group. And we

89
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: have to see how these young, unproven guys come along.

90
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's not unheard for guys to you know,

91
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: the first year starting to kind of take the league

92
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: by storm, but more often than not, there's some dumps

93
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: along the way. And so, you know, I mean, especially

94
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: you know when with a team like the Raiders that

95
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 2: are you know, figuring to be in the playoff hunt.

96
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: You know, if your offensive line is struggling to start

97
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: the season, that could you know, potentially you know, cost

98
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: you a playoff shot. And so they're gonna have to

99
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: jail pretty quickly. And that's where I think this year

100
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: with the preseason games, returning those three games that will

101
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: have I think that's gonna be a huge lift to

102
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: them for them to actually, you know, even though it's

103
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: not you know, regulation games, getting some loud game actions

104
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: so they can start to build on that camaraderie a

105
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: little bit and maybe get a little bit more familiar

106
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: with one another before the game starts. The count.

107
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: You know, another move that may have raised some eyebrows

108
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: was just bringing Kenyon Drake in and pairing him with Jacobs,

109
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: and there's very few teams in this league who have

110
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: a bellcal running back that you're going to give the

111
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: ball thirty times to. What was that kind of the

112
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: approach saying, hey, let's keep both guys fresh, let's use

113
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: them in the passing game and have more of a

114
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: dynamic running game to to kind of add to the

115
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: other weapons on the outside.

116
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: I believe so because you know, even though Josh Jacobs

117
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: has been one of the most productive backs in the

118
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: league in his first two seasons, we saw both years

119
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: towards down the stretch he got banged up there. You know,

120
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: first year it was a shoulder. Last year he had

121
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: various injuries, you know, lower leg injuries, and we kind

122
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: of saw those carries and touches in general start to

123
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: catch up to him a little bit, even though he

124
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: was still productive. And obviously you know your running backs

125
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: always going to take a pound him. But you know,

126
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: if you can extend that career is as much as

127
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: you can and avoid injuries, you should take every step

128
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: you can to get there. And while Devonte Looker was

129
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: a good backup running back for them last year, you know,

130
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: after he got poached by the Giants. They needed another

131
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: answer there, somebody who could actually they felt comfortable giving

132
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: those early down touches to somebody they can give Jacobs

133
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: a breather, but not have a you know, such a

134
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: steep drop off when it comes to the level of

135
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: a player that you're getting and h you know, Kenyan Drake,

136
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: he's just starting running back in this league, and you know,

137
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: I think you know pretty clearly it'll be the best

138
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: backup running back in the league, you know, in this role. Uh,

139
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: you know that the price did surprise me a little bit,

140
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: you know, the eleven million dollar guarantee overall, considering some

141
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: of the needs that they had elsewhere, like exipth offense

142
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: was really good last year, and so you think, you know,

143
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna spend eleven million, it should probably be on

144
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. But you know, has

145
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: less to do with Kenyan Drake as a player, because

146
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: I think he's a really good player, and more to

147
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: do with, you know, allocation of your resources. But just

148
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: having that one two punch of you know, being able

149
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: to keep Jacobs fresh while still having a really good

150
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: back out there. And then also I think Drake, you know,

151
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: is further along at this point in his career as

152
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: a receiver than Jacobs is, So you know, even have

153
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 2: them both on the field and maybe Drake running around

154
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: and John Jacobs in the backfield kind of third defensive

155
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: all defenses off, so it kind of you know, they're

156
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: they're running game. You know, they ran the ball a

157
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: lot last year and they picked up some yardage, but

158
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: it wasn't as efficient as it was the year before.

159
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: And so I think the hope is that, you know,

160
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: giving Jacobs some more rests and then also having a

161
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: different look taken throw out there can help their their

162
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: running game get back to being, you know, one of

163
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: the more efficient attacks in the league.

164
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: Then sean Henry Ruggs a couple of drafts to go

165
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: the first receiver off the board. And for Chargers fans

166
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: who they have not watched the Raiders as closely as

167
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: those two games last year against the Vegas Raiders, twenty

168
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: six catches on forty three targets. Was he just not

169
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: targeted enough or were all of his targets down the field.

170
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: What do you think Henry Ruggs needs to do to

171
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: improve upon his rookie season.

172
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of both on him

173
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: and not get enough targets. You know, with him, his

174
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: biggest I don't want to say issue. The thing needs

175
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: to improve on right now is creating separation. And sounds

176
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: weird for a guy that runs a four to two,

177
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: but you know, even if you're fast, you know, those

178
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: corners can jam you up if you're route running and

179
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: your releases aren't smooth, and so both getting off the

180
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and downfield or even intermediate, you know,

181
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: with his route running, he has to be able to

182
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: create separation so that you know, Derek Carr feels comfortable

183
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: that he's not about to throw interception if he throws

184
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: his ball up there. You know, especially with rugs, it

185
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: be different if he was, you know, some kind of

186
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: six to three, big body guy that's just trusted even

187
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: if there's no separation, he's going to go up and

188
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: get it. He's about five to eleven six foot and

189
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: so it might make you know, even though he has

190
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: the verticality get there and make those jump balls, it

191
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: makes you a little bit more hesitant as a quarterback,

192
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: especially in your first year together, to kind of take

193
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: those shots. And so he has to improve as a

194
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: route runner. And then also they do need to get

195
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: them the ball more often on those shorts to intermediate routes,

196
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: so it's kind of quick hitting a little bit easier,

197
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: so they can get the ball in his hands and

198
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: create create some things out there in space. I think

199
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: he you know, a lot of games he had, you know,

200
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: three targets, four targets. That's not enough when you make

201
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: a guy, you know, the first receiver off the board,

202
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: especially considering, you know, while they had Nelson ack or

203
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: having a nice season last year, the wide receiver wasn't

204
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: necessarily their strength offensively, and so you got to get

205
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 2: that guy the ball and see what he can do.

206
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,599
Speaker 2: And so I think his dual side that you know,

207
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 2: he has to get stronger, he has become a better

208
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: route runner, but they also need to throwing the ball

209
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: more often.

210
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Man the quarterbacks in this division, we know about Patrick Mahomes,

211
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert obviously coming off offensive Rookie the year campaign.

212
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, though his numbers have always been really really

213
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: solid forty one hundred yards this year, twenty seven touchdowns,

214
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: just nine picks. How did the Raiders look at Derek

215
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: Carr not only this year but in the future, and

216
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: do they see him as that guy that can compete

217
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: with the Mahomes and Herbert once he gets a few

218
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: more years under his belt, or is he on a

219
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of a tighter least based on what Marcus Mariota

220
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: may have done at the end of the year, because

221
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: Mariota came in I remember in that Chargers game of

222
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Week fifteen, played pretty well. What do the Raiders think

223
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: of Derek Carr in his future in Vegas?

224
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any question about Derek Carr being

225
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: a good quarterback at this point in his career. I

226
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: think he's proven that. And there's also no question about

227
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: his role as a starter. You know, they like Mariota

228
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: that he's not not pushing Car and you know some

229
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: kind of injury happens again where Carr goes down like

230
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: he did in that Chargers game. You know, Car is

231
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: essentially going into you know, he has another year after

232
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: this year. But you know, typically with quarterbacks, they never

233
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: let you, you know, play into that last year unless

234
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: you're about to be out of here. And so I

235
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: think the question for the Raiders is not is Derek

236
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: Carter gole quarterback? They know that already is can he

237
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: be the guy to get you you over the hump

238
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: and get you into the playoffs. You know, he's done

239
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: it for them months before, even though he didn't get

240
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: to play in that playoff game. Can he do it again?

241
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: You know, you're not always going to have ideal circumstances

242
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: as a quarterback. You know, you can look at his

243
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: offensive line this year and say, oh, well, you know

244
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: lost Hutson. You know, we lost Gabe Jackson. We're not

245
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: having Trim Brown anymore, you know, the rob receivers. Maybe

246
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: if Henrubs doesn't take another step forward, you can kind of,

247
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: you know, bring inside a bit and make excuses. Their

248
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: thing is, you know, even if it's not perfect, we

249
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 2: need you to be able to get us there, you know,

250
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: in terms of the playoffs, and you know, we haven't

251
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: seen that since twenty sixteen, and so I think that's

252
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: a big question with him. And if he's not able

253
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: to show that, you know here in his next year,

254
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: you know, we can maybe see some change in the

255
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: off season coming up. Obviously, it's not all on him,

256
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: I knew. I think that's a little bit outside when

257
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: it comes to playoff quarterbacks making the playoffs. Obviously, if

258
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: your defense is thirty second in the league, and you know,

259
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 2: scoring again, then you're probably not going to make the playoffs. Right, So,

260
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: you know, he had a great season last year outside

261
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: of the turnovers. I think that's the biggest place where

262
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: he needs to improve on season. But the big thing

263
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: about what car this year? I mean, he always has

264
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: the numbers. I always say pretty consistently, is can you

265
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: get those wins? Can you show up when in those

266
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: those tight games when it gets late and they need

267
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: you to make a play. You know, the Raiders see

268
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: enough of that out of him this season. You know,

269
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: I've see the extension getting done. But if they fall

270
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: short again or even take a step back from last year,

271
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: then I think it could get a little bit interesting

272
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: going into the off season.

273
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: It shot, it's a great segue into the defense. A

274
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: guy the Charges fans thought very well, Gus Bradley, and

275
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: not only Gus, but but Ron Milis in the secondary

276
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: and Richard Smith at the linebackers coach. Why was Gus

277
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: the right guy to turn this Raiders defense around? And

278
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: do you think they did enough this offseason? And getting

279
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: a guy like in Docway, getting a guy like Travon

280
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: Merrick in that secondary one of the things, and I

281
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: think all these guys are excellent coaches. One of the

282
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: things that was tough for Gus the last couple of

283
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: years with the Chargers was not having Derwin James and

284
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: being ready to have a package for Derwin James and

285
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: training camp and for him to get injured unfortunately right

286
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: before the season started. They did some special things in

287
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Do you think that they have the personnel

288
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: to kind of make that jump in twenty twenty one.

289
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's you know, anytime that there's you know,

290
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: a coaching change, you know, with them firing Paul gun

291
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: Thro last year, it kind of shifts to where, you know,

292
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: all the blame gets gets loaded onto them for how

293
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: the defense performed. Obviously that's not the case. You know,

294
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: there are big personnel issues at all three levels of

295
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: the defense last year that contributed to their struggles. No

296
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: matter what you know, scheme or calls that were being made,

297
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: but a big issue with them, especially with them having

298
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 2: the younger defenses. His scheme was just so complex and

299
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: layered and multiple that guys were doing a little bit

300
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 2: too much thinking and out of reacting and playing out there,

301
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: and Gus coming in with this cover three scheme. You know,

302
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: he mixes it up a little bit, but he's mostly

303
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: in that cover three nickel sticks to what he knows

304
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: rushing four. Uh, you know, the principles are pretty i

305
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: won't say easy, but easier to learn and remember than

306
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: the last system on a lot of guys to kind

307
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 2: of be a little bit more free out there and

308
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: make more plays, you know, in theory. You know, we'll

309
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: have to see, you know, how the execution comes down

310
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: with that. Uh, the person that isn't wildly different than

311
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 2: it was a year before. Particularly, you know, some of

312
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: the young core guys like Cleveland, Pharreal, Max Frosby, Trayvon Mullen,

313
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: Damon Arnd Jopp and the Models guys are back. You know,

314
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: it's a lot of familiar faces, Corey Littleton and Nicko

315
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: Waikowski at linebacker as well coming back. But they made

316
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: those more subtle tweaks, you know. Obviously, you know, getting

317
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: Yannick and Gockway is a big splash. But outside of that,

318
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: you know, they've they switched around the interior their defensive

319
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: defensive line a little bit. Brought in quint Quentin Jefferson

320
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: from the Bills, and Solomon Thomas from the forty nine ers,

321
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: you know. And so it's uh, but the biggest next

322
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 2: biggest move I would say out outside of bringing in

323
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: in Gocway, was was drafted Trayvon Morrick safety out of

324
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: TCU kind of be that free safety, played that middle

325
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: of the fiel role, that kind of Derwin James role.

326
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's gonna be Darwin James, you're one,

327
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 2: but kind of, you know, filling that same kind of

328
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: role for him in his defense. And so, you know,

329
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: they have a lot of young guys upside that we

330
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: don't really know what they are yet, who they are yet,

331
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 2: or how they'll look in this new scheme, and so

332
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: it's kind of tough to say until we see it

333
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: out there on the field. You know, Gus can bring

334
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: in have the best scheme in the world, but unless

335
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: we see some improvement from those guys a lot of

336
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: familiar faces from the last couple of years, in their

337
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: defense is struggled. Unless those guys improve individually, they're not

338
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: going to be that much better, you know. And you know,

339
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: it's not like this group needs to go from not

340
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: asking Dust. I mean, they would love to go to

341
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: you know, the top five defense in the league, but

342
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: really they need to be league average and they probably

343
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: make the playoffs last last year, so they just need

344
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: to see some kind of steady improvement and that's something

345
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: that they never really saw with gun Through and so

346
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: we'll see if Gus is able to put that off.

347
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: Sean, how do you view the Chargers this upcoming season?

348
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Obviously the Raiders the Charges have played a lot of

349
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: close games over the years. Last year, that overtime game

350
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: of Week fifteen, the game I believe it was in

351
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Week nine up and so far came down to the

352
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: last play. How do you view the Chargers with Justin

353
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: Herbert in year two, they beeped up their offensive line.

354
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: They've always had the skilled position players. It's really been

355
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: about injuries to kind of key guys and in opportune times.

356
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: But it's a tough division and it looks like the

357
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Bolter are set up at least at the quarterback position.

358
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we all think they have a star

359
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: in Justin Herbert down there, and so no questions that quarterback.

360
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: But I think the Chargers is one of the teams

361
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: where you find yourself a lot of years looking at

362
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: the rosters it's the playoff team. And then you know,

363
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: like you said, somebody gets injured or they lose you know,

364
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: ten close games it seems like in the season and

365
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: they miss out, and so I think they'll be right

366
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: there in it. They're always gonna be a tough out,

367
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: especially you know, their matches with the Raiders pretty much.

368
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: Always expect those games to be close. Like you said,

369
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: last year, you know, both of those games went down

370
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: to the wire. But I think this division is gonna

371
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: be really close this year. I think the Chiefs are

372
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: still the clear front runner, uh you know, assuming health,

373
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: of course, but I think it's gonna be a three

374
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: way battle for that second spot. I mean another Broncos

375
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: still have questions at quarterback, but you know, especially with

376
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: von Miller coming back, and you know, assuming that they're healthy,

377
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: their defense should be fearsome again again. And you know

378
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: they have some young up and coming offensive talent obviously.

379
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: You know, the Raiders, if their defense can improve, you know,

380
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: they show flashes of maybe being able to come into

381
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: a playoff team last year. And I think the Chargers

382
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: are right there with them, and so, you know, I

383
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: don't think there's a lot separating those teams. I would say,

384
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: you know, I think the Chargers they may be the

385
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: most balanced of those remaining three outside of the Chiefs.

386
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of, really, you know, a battle

387
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: of attrition at that point and who comes when it

388
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: comes down to execution, know who who's able to come out,

389
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: especially if those games are tight again in the end.

390
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: So you know, I don't think there's going to be

391
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: any team in this division really that's lagging behind the

392
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: others this year.

393
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: A final thing for you, I look forward to seeing

394
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: your Week four pretty early butterdet football up in Los

395
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: Angeles Allegiance Stadium. I think it's Week eighteen the Charges

396
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: of Raiders close out the twenty twenty one season. For

397
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: fans who have not been able to experience that stadium,

398
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: what was it like. I know that you know, no

399
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: fans were there last year, and that's one of the

400
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: things with so far. I'm interested to see how the

401
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: atmosphere changes, and it's like almost watching the glorified scrimmage

402
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: when there's no fans in the stands. But but give

403
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: us a little preview of what to expect at Allegian

404
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: Stadium in Vegas.

405
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: Ye, first off, it sounds weird as hell here in

406
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: week eighteen, that's gonna take right.

407
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: I I had to do it a double take what

408
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: I said it, just like, did I get that right? Yeah?

409
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: It's cool, man, especially when I drove past it last

410
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: night coming home, when it's when it's lit up at night,

411
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: it kind of looks like a big spaceship almost. I know,

412
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: we hear that comparison a lot, but you know, it

413
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: looks really dope on the outside and go inside it,

414
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: you know, Like I said, it was a little bit

415
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: weird last year with being empty and no fans being

416
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: in there, but it's just really sleek, futuristic. They had

417
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 2: a huge torch owner and now Davis of course at

418
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: one of the end zones. You know, I'm just excited

419
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: to see that thing rocking with fans, man. I think

420
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: you know, obviously the the Raiders are new to Vegas,

421
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 2: but you know a lot of their fans are going

422
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: to be commuting from you La and the Bay. But

423
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: I think this year, especially with it be in the

424
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: first year, they're going to be fans traveling, you know,

425
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: from all these teams coming to see their team playing

426
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: this new stadium. And so I know tickets are up

427
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: there right now. Hopefully they come down about week eighteen,

428
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: but worth coming out and checking out the new stadium

429
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: and hopefully seeing a great game.

430
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: Well, this show is hard to believe, man, I think

431
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: it's just over two months. I'll see you in Los

432
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: Ange list for Monday night football. Football is getting closer

433
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: and closer. You do great work for the Athletic, Man,

434
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: What do you have going up on the site these

435
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks? Listen, I say it all the time.

436
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: It's we talked about the Chargers and what they got

437
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: going on, but you have to know your opponents. You

438
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: have to know what's going on on the AFC West

439
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: as we get into trading camp and beyond. Yeah.

440
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: Right now, we have a position preview series that we're

441
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: been rolling out over the last few weeks over at

442
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: the Athletic on the Raiders, kind of position by position,

443
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: going down and looking at who they lost, who they

444
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 2: brought in, who's projected to star, who might get cut,

445
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: you know, analysis of you know who may perform, who's

446
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: on the hot seat, you know who struggled, and so

447
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: it's pretty much, you know, we're almost done with it.

448
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: We have two more coming out this week and then

449
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: another one next week and then we'll be over with.

450
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: And so the Chargers fans come out and you know,

451
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: just our you know, we're not the Raiders, we're not

452
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: experts or anything like that, but uh, you know, they

453
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: come out and check out the roster position by position

454
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: and see with the Charges that be going up against

455
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: this year.

456
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: There we go to Sean Rebt. I really appreciate your time.
