1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: The atmosphere is amazing. It feels like everybody's clothes like 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: it's just a warm, filling us back to the basis, 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: the fans are even more stoke than we are, so 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: so when you come out hand and see them so hype, 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: it's like I have no choice but to leave. On 6 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: the live flow. That was Melvin Ingram after the team's 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: joint practice with the Rams at StubHub Center, the new 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: home of the Los Angeles Chargers. Everybody, Chris Harry with 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: you on the Chargers Training Camp podcast. Today, I sit 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: down with Beto Duran, the new team reporter and host 11 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: of Chargers Talk on m five seventy. But first I 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: spoke to Chargers dot COM's Ricky Henny to recap Saturday's 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: practice from stub Hub Center. Because it's really good. I thought, 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: football standpoint, we got a lot of work to do, 15 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: which is to be expected. We have, we have plenty 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: of time to get that done. But I thought, from 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: an atmosphere standpoint, a lot so many fans out here, 18 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: and what I think this place can turn into can 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: be a real, real awesome atmosphere for this season. All right, 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers after Saturday's joint practice with the Rams as 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: StubHub Center. Now please to bring in the managing editor 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: of Chargers dot Com, Ricky Heney. And Ricky will get 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: to what we saw on the field in a second, 24 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: but I want to start with the buzzword from Saturday 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: night that everybody was using, and that was atmosphere. It 26 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: was the players, the coaches, the fans, the reporters just 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: raving about this atmosphere at StubHub Center. What did guys 28 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: say to you after practice about playing in their new home. Well, 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: I mean it was pretty incredible. I mean, to have 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: that kind of atmosphere. There's that word again, and Retyrolle 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: Williams saying, you know I had that this zac same 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: kind of feel when I played at Montana. You know, 33 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: he never thought he'd have it in the NFL, but 34 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: they'd love it, especially the defensive guys didn't know that 35 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: once they get on a roll, the way the fans 36 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: are so on top of you, it's got to get 37 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: so loud. Joey Bose was like, look, we kind of 38 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: tune to out because we were our practice, but we know, 39 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, we need a third down stop and you're 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: in the red zone when you need the energy from 41 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: the fans. This is the kind of venue that they 42 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: kind of crave. And honestly, one of my favorite lines 43 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: from a fan who said, you know, I had I 44 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: hoped when I bought my tickets because I figured it 45 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: would be a really unique situation for my kids, you know, 46 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: my son to be able to be this closet to 47 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: the action. But I mean this was beyond what we 48 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: could have expected to be this close to real life 49 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: NFL players. It actually felt like a preseason game already. 50 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: You know, the fans were fans were there. It was 51 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: open to season seat holders and waitless members. But the music, 52 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: the DJ, just the concessions were rocking. It really did 53 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: feel like a game atmosphere, even though it's just the 54 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: joint practice against the Rams. Oh absolutely. I mean we 55 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: had the brand new I think they're called the Thunderbolts, 56 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: and you know those big video boards. I remember Joe 57 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: Barksville was walking out and I asked him, you know 58 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: what you think he just stops and these points of 59 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: the video screen. He's like, that's cool, that's pretty sweet. 60 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's a huge video screen and the fans 61 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: are gonna love. I mean, look, it was a practice 62 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: of course there's a little extra competition you have two 63 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: different teams going against each other. But and the fans 64 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: enjoyed watching the action. But I really think, you know, 65 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: just as entertaining to them was seeing this new home 66 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: for the first time. And it was a great rehearsal 67 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: for the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks. But Ricky 68 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: on the field, yeah, but you know, go ahead, I 69 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: think still fit the best. Though he's started to cut 70 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: you off. But you know, they started out slow and 71 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: he was not happy. But that's to be expected, you know, 72 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: you need, if it was all perfect, he would have 73 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: been worried. And you know, you kind of saw the 74 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: charters start out a little bit slow, but then they 75 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: were confident, then they got their feet under them. But 76 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: like you're saying, it was a drest rehearsal for the 77 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: first preseason game, which I think is going to be 78 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: insane against the Seahawks on Sunday, I was just going 79 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: to get into what we saw on the field. You 80 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: certainly saw flashes of what this offense and defense can 81 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: become in twenty seventeen. But like you said, Rivers said 82 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: this after practice, if everything was perfect at this point, 83 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: it would be a little bit concerning, right. I mean, 84 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: we're still very early in camp, a long way to 85 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: go on both sides of the ball. I know you 86 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: had eyes on the offense for a majority of the practice. 87 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: What stood out to you when looking at really the 88 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: offense and the defense. I think three things. I think 89 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: as a whole. I'm talking about the offense right now. 90 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: I thought the run game was pretty strong. He saw 91 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: a couple of nice runs by Melvin along the outside, 92 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: the nice holes being brought. I thought Sean mcbrat had 93 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: a real nice block on a Melvin Gordon run, opened 94 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: up a huge hole. Saw Barksdale and Wiggins worked together 95 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: to open up another hole, and Melvine did well. Andre 96 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: Williams friends Olivers looked really, really strong. And then two 97 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: individual players where I thought were really strong were Jeff Cumberlin, 98 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: who's had an outstanding start to camp. He'd say he's 99 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: back about twenty pounds lighter than he was when he 100 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: actually signed his contract in April, and he has some 101 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: great speed for a tight end. And obviously he missed 102 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: all of last year with his achilles injury, but he 103 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: is someone when you add him into what Antonio Page 104 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry can do. Those are three pretty dynamic 105 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: weapons in the pass game. From a tight end and 106 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: then at wide out. I mean, Tyrol Williams is picking 107 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: up where he left off that size speed combination. He's 108 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: making tremendous catches. He's someone who I mean, I know 109 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: he kind of came out of the blue last year. 110 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: He's not gonna take anybody by surprise, but I think 111 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: he'll do just fine. Ricky. All of those wide receivers 112 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: have an outstanding camp. Keenan Allen looks. You know, we've 113 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: talked about him coming back from the AC Tyrell Williams, 114 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: like you said, picked up where he left off in 115 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: the Travis Benjamin having an outstanding camp as well. I 116 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: think on the defensive side of the ball, Joey Bosa, 117 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: I saw you tweet about Melvin Ingram, how he was 118 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: coming off the edge like a monster. Oh yeah, he's 119 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: just a beast. I mean those two guys together, I mean, 120 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: those might be two of the best bookkens in the NFL. 121 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: And then in the NFL you need to get to 122 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: the pastor the Chargers have two guys who can do it. 123 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: And you know, Gus Bradley's system has shown when you 124 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: have guys like that up front, they could be one 125 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: of the best in the NFL. Now I'm not saying 126 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna be, but they had that potential. Now they 127 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: actually have to do it. It was also a special 128 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: night for the organization. The team practices in their new 129 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: home for the first time, and then twenty four hundred 130 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: miles easton Canton at the same time, lt is giving 131 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: an all time Hall of Fame speech. I think Jim 132 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: Trotter said on Twitter that a Hall official told him 133 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: it was the best speech he's heard in forty one years. 134 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: And I know, you run the bus with the team 135 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: while they're watching the replay of the practice, and it 136 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: sounded like these guys were just mesmerized. It looks funny 137 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, guys like they're so into practice, 138 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: so singularly focused, and then you know their phones are 139 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: on they're like, oh wait, that was Elsie that you know. 140 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, like they were so into practice. Yes, they 141 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: knew Elsie was going in that night, and they were 142 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: all excited about it, especially guys like Melton Gordon and 143 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: obviously Philip Rivers. Then is watching them. You know, there's 144 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: some of the videos they watched, they watched the Lorenzo 145 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: Neal presentation. They watched Elsie speech itself, especially that last 146 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: six minute quota about when he talked about you know, 147 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: America and his story and it was powerful, like they 148 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: were parts of the bus that were literally just silent 149 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: watching it, and it was pretty special to see. Yeah, 150 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: what a great night. I mean, I'm excited for this 151 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: upcoming week as well because the Charges are gonna get 152 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: another crack at the Rams in our vine. And then 153 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: again we talked about the preseason opener at StubHub on Sunday. 154 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Do you think there's a little bit more anticipation now 155 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: the second week in camp, knowing that you get cracks 156 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: two different opponents coming up this week? Probably? I mean 157 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: that's a very good way of putting it. I mean 158 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: I think this is usually where like the quote unquote 159 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: dog days start picking up, right, you know, the two 160 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: more weeks to go. You just had the newness of 161 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: the first week, but having a second chance at the 162 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: Rams where I just know the Charges are start fashions 163 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: and they hit h this past Saturday to show that, 164 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, they gets the scene where they left off there, 165 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: so you have that on Wednesday in a different you 166 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: know at the Rams, so it's a different practice, feel 167 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: the different feel itself. And then you know they have 168 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: Thursday off to rest up a little bit. They had 169 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: a light walk through on Sunday, so that'll be the 170 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: first rest day. And then you know, it's it's the 171 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: first It's it's a new error, right, It's Anthony Lean, 172 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: it's the Chargers in LA. It's Stubbub, it's against the Seahawks, 173 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: with a lot of connections there with Gus Bradley obviously 174 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: having coached there in the past and Brandon Mebane. But 175 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: it's exciting. So I think having the Rams on Wednesday 176 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: and then having the Seahawks on Sunday, I mean, it's 177 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: a really great way to really kick off this live 178 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: game atmosphere. You know, there's only so much you can 179 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: take from some of these joint practices, the non context 180 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: of seven on sevens. You pick up some things, you know, 181 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: like I said, Joey Bosa a nice strip sack, Melvin 182 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: Ingraham looked good. You name some of these offensive guys 183 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: that look like they had some nice flashes. But Sunday 184 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: is the real deal in terms of getting on the 185 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: field full pads and I think we're gonna learn a 186 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: little bit more about this football team. Maybe not the 187 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: starters in week one of the preseasons, but some of 188 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: these backups. That's a great point because we don't know 189 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: how Anthony Lind's gonna want to do it. You know, 190 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: how many reps are the ones, the two, the three 191 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: is gonna get. But this is the first time for 192 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: Chargers fans to see what kind of a head coaches 193 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: ant Lin gonna be like on game day. If he'd 194 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: be he's gonna be one of those guys that like, 195 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: is a you know, you know in guy's faces or 196 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: is he going to be someone who's more laid back, 197 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: what kind of approach is he gonna take the challenges? 198 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: And it's what's he gonna be like? And then obviously 199 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: Wiz has an offensive Chargers fans know, and yes there 200 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: are some tweaks to it, but it's a defense the 201 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: side of the ball. I think fans are really gonna 202 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: want to pay that to two the first time to 203 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: see Gus Brads four three at work. And while who 204 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: knows how many reps each player is gonna get, you're 205 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: gonna get a feel to see how this new look 206 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: squad is and that's that's pretty exciting, to be honest. Yeah, 207 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: this is when position battles tighten up and we really 208 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: see this fifty three man roster really coming to fruition. 209 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: So I'm excited to head to Coach the Mason for 210 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: a week two of training camp and I'll see there, Ricky. 211 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: He's he headed the managing editor of Chargers dot com. 212 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: You can follow him on Twitter at Chargers r Henny, 213 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: and I will see you, assume I manula.

What does 225 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: that mean to you personally? Man? It's crazy. Football left 226 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: me when I was in junior high and for a 227 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: long time, not that I was a bitter fan. I 228 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: was just like, okay, it's not here, out of side, 229 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: out of mind. There's always the talks of could they 230 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: come back, and it was like, okay, when they do, 231 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: they don't get sided. Now to actually see the NFL 232 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: and the circus around it and what is involved with it, 233 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: and the ceremony, the how huge these dudes are. I've 234 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: covered USC in UCLA and yeah they're big, but the 235 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: pro level is completely different. And to see them playing 236 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: here in Carson. It's a place where I kind of 237 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,599 Speaker 1: went to school at Domingus Hills Stubpub, been here for 238 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Galaxy games and all these other different events. But it's 239 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: crazy to think that there's gonna be NFL in the 240 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: stadium and it's just gonna be a good vibe. It's 241 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: fun so Charges fans as though we're actually taping this 242 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: at Stubbubs. Yeah, during the Rams and Chargers first joint practice, 243 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: and I love this vibe. Man, there is not a 244 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: bad seat in the house. I okay, when they said 245 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna play here, you know. Of course, a lot 246 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: of people were making little jokes about it. Oh it's small, 247 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: but this could be a huge advantage to them. If 248 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: you get the crowd rocking and you get everybody behind you, 249 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: This place does get loud. I've been here for international 250 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: soccer games where you do get it. You feel it 251 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: like everybody's on top of you. There is no bad 252 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: seat at all. We were talking about it like the 253 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: top deck would be a premium seat anywhere else in 254 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: the NFL. That's like the best club level. Oh yeah yeah, 255 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: and the signage around it everything, And no, we're not 256 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: selling this because we're working with the Chargers. It has 257 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. I walked in and I'm like, whoa. 258 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: This reminded me of like opening day a baseball where 259 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: you're like, you want to get the early because you 260 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: want to see what it's all about. And you see 261 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: the signa, you see the lightning bolts all over the place, 262 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: and the fact that they added those extra seats on 263 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: the broom underneath the scoreboard. That's huge. It just looks cool, 264 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: and the concessions are rocking already with this. You know, 265 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: the first preseason game is not till next Sunday, but 266 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: this already feels like a game atmosphere. Yeah. Yeah, that's 267 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: another thing. It's obviously the staff here at Level Up Center. 268 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: They've done a lot of different events, and we were 269 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: talking to a friend of mine who works here. It's like, 270 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, they have high school games here, they have 271 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: the college uh pro what's that? The college All American 272 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: game here, so they know what it's like to handle football. 273 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: But it's more of their staff how to deal with 274 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: thirty plus thousand fans that are gonna be here. So 275 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: it's good. It's a good environment. And also the fact 276 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: that you see people with a smile on their face. 277 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: That's what gets me. And like I've been reporting this 278 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: business the sixteen years and when you go to work 279 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: every single day and you love it for yourself, but 280 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: when you still see the fans and little kids, a 281 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: dad holding the son with a jersey on, and like 282 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: that is what I wish I would have had as 283 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: a kid. But now, without a doubt, I'm bringing my kid. 284 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: Well actually I can' because I'm gonna be working. I'm 285 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: gonna make sure I'm gonna make sure my kid comes 286 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: with somebody who could bring him But that's another thing. 287 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: My son is twelve. He's in that age of he 288 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: has a team. He likes the Seahawks because Pete Carroll's NSC. 289 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: That's his deal. But I even asked him, like, what 290 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: about this the Chargers. He's like, yeah, well you're working 291 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: with them. I want to go. And it's those are 292 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: the fans that they're getting, the kids who are still impressionable, 293 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: and that's what you want to do, build the next 294 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: generation of fans. It really hit me on Sunday, day 295 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: one of camp, with five thousand fans came out the 296 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: coast of Mesa. It was unbelievable. And you've been there 297 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: all long for your first week on the job. What 298 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: was your takeaway from that first week? And custom I 299 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: wasn't there for day one.

There's no 307 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: shade and you see the people in the crowd owen 308 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: and owing over a player going over the middle for 309 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: ten yards and it's like, yeah, the hardcore fans are 310 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: showing up. You also have the people who just want 311 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: to see what's going on, and you're having thousands of 312 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: people having experienced and they're up close and where the 313 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: media ten is at. I was sitting there on Friday 314 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: and you had some fans saying, yeah, we drove from Oregon. 315 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: I heard another person drove in from Arizona. They're going 316 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: to Disneyland. That's what they all say they were doing. 317 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: But they decided to pop in and it was cool 318 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: with the axis for it and like nothing. I've never 319 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: been around it. I've never seen it. I've always gone 320 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: as a reporter, whether the Raiders were an OX start 321 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: or when I would go down to sat Naga with 322 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: the Charger were there. It's a different vibe. But this 323 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: is just I mean, they've done everything right and like, 324 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: once again, we're not chill for the team right here. 325 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: They've done everything right in the first week, better on 326 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: the field.

And I was asking you this because 329 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: you've been around the team, You've done a lot of 330 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: stuff in the NFL, and I'm without that. I'm giving 331 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: it out there. I'm new to the end of film. 332 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: I did stuff with the Rams last season behind the 333 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: scenes on the broadcast, but were I'm involved covering the team. 334 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm excited for it every single night. Once I got 335 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: the job a couple weeks ago, I was reading up 336 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: and down, Okay who went to TCU? Like LT Okay, 337 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we know the Philip Rivers, we know the 338 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon's, but I want to know the ins and outs, 339 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: who the kickers that's gonna be going up against Lambeau. 340 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: I'm all that stuff. I just love reading about these 341 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: things and the stuff in practice. But what I've stood 342 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: up stood out to me this week. And maybe it's 343 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: because I've also had ACL surgery. Not that I'm an 344 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: lee athlete, but Keenan Allen last year, I were watching 345 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: that game and I was like, oh, dude, he's bawling 346 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: the first quarter, then blows out his knee, and I 347 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: know how hard it is. For somebody to rehab. Just 348 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: in general, I can't even demagine what it's like for 349 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: a world class athlete to rehab, have your entire season 350 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: taken away from you, watch your team go on, and 351 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: then try to get back and contribute. And this week 352 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: I've been pressed by Keenan Allen because he seems like 353 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: he's a leader. In the drills. He's always the first 354 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: one to go with Philip Rivers. He's also the guy 355 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: telling the rookies, which you could do here and there. 356 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: You see him talking to Mike Williams, and that's being 357 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: done away from the cameras. It's done on the spar 358 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: field at ten o'clock, and when you could easily run 359 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: through the drills and run through the motions because hey, 360 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm established here, I'm so and so will do is 361 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: none of that. I like the way Allen is working 362 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: this week because he's a leader. Melvin Gordon looks like 363 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: he's upset at the world when he's coming out of 364 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: the backfield, like he has a lot to prove. I 365 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: like that. And then the secondary there are some barking 366 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: going on back there and I'm not gonna name one name, 367 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: but let's just say all the DPS and I were 368 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: saying it next to each other when Philip was going 369 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: back and forth with the secondary and that's just that's 370 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: because they were in the red zone. It was like, oh, 371 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: love it. That is what camp is all about. And 372 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: this is mind you, this is day three. We have 373 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: a long way to go, but you can already sense 374 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: that football is here when you see that back and 375 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: forth and that it's just so fun to watch. And 376 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: it's also I've been around long enough covering f cuc 377 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: LA or whether it's the Dodgers or the Lakers. When 378 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: you go in through a camp and there's not games 379 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: that matter, you have guys that go through motions and 380 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: when you've been on teams that are bad or teams 381 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: that allow that cultural I give coach Lynn a lot 382 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: of credit. He is no nonsense because when you're gonna 383 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: ask Coach Lynn the question, you better come correct. It 384 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: reminds me of some of the other NBA coaches where 385 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna school you. If you ask U talk about 386 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: or who you make that talk about Davis, don't say 387 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: talk about it. You've been ask some damn question, and 388 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: don't ever ask a question just for the sake of 389 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: asking the question like ask him something of importance, because 390 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: Coach Lynn is not wasting his time with anything. And 391 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: I like that. And you can already tell when you 392 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: talk to some of the players he's leading by example. 393 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: Did you see me the the other day when he grab 394 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: one of the running back by the face? Malf I 395 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: saw him on Thursday with every single position group and 396 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: how he was so hands on. And again, this is 397 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: a guy who comes from the school of Bill Walsh, 398 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: of Mike Shanahan, of Bill parcels Rex Ryan, so he 399 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: has that experience. He was a well respected assistant. We 400 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: all know that. And everything I've heard to this point 401 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: from his first day as being the head coach is 402 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: that this guy has impressed everybody. Well I saw him. 403 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: Was it unn data? But was it Friday? So the 404 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: Chargers have two practice fields and I was going on 405 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: the far side while I was watching the receivers and 406 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: their quarterbacks. Who at it? But that's the also side 407 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: where they put the players on the pup list. And 408 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: he's over there talking to the strength and conditioning coaches 409 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: and they're setting up cones out there for some of 410 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: the players to come work out, and Coach Slynn is 411 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: out there. I remember talking one of the interns. I'm like, wait, 412 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: why is the coach out here talking without the strength 413 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: and conditioning guys. That's the attention to details. It turns 414 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: out that he was having the strength and conditioning guys 415 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: inform him of what they were doing with the guys 416 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: back and forth. Now not that he's over like he's 417 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: making sure everything's involved, or he's like making sure that 418 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: it's his way or nobody's way. It just seemed like 419 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: he was listening to them and he wanted to know. 420 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: There's a lot of organizations, are a a lot of coaches 421 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: in all sports where they're so hands off, where they're 422 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: let's just say, I'll to lunch on a lot of things. 423 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: But when you're paying attention to the smallest minute detail, 424 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: that says a lot about you as a leader. It 425 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: definitely does. And today, you know, like I said, we're 426 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: taking this on a Saturday. This team actually has a 427 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: chance to hit somebody else with the RAM. And the 428 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: Chargers are also going to be in Irvine next Wednesday 429 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: at training camp. What are you looking to see this 430 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: second week of camp?

We've seen him with a 433 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: couple of players. They're gone. You're gonna eventually start getting 434 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: ready for game situations. You're gonna have to trim the roster. 435 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: You're gonna have guys who they might be following asleep 436 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: out the next day.
