1
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Hey guys, what is up?

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Guiltyest Charge Podcast, presented by the Chargers

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Podcast Network. My name is Steven and I am the

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: host as always, and joining me today is my guy Tyler.

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Tyler, what some man? How are you doing this evening?

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm doing it fantastic. And I just realized today that

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 3: I am seeing Metallica at Sofi Stadium this weekend. A

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: bucket list item for me. So even if the game's

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: not great, the concert is gonna be awesome.

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Metallica.

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Our guy Argin went to see them in New York

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. I'm very jealous. I would

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: love to go see Metallica. You know, Metallica was super

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 2: big when my oldest brother was growing up. I think

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: I've said this before, but my first CD was a

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: Green Day CD. My second one was a Metallica CD

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: my brother got me or my birthday. And you know,

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: the the return of Metallica courtesy of Stranger Things has

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: been really really strong, I think, and it's been fun

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: to see.

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been awesome. It's a bucket list thing for me.

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: I wanted to do the one hundred thousand people in

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: Germany sort of concert, but SOFI Studio not bad.

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, not bad at all.

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: All right, So we have a busy show playing for

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: you guys, of course, as we always do. We're gonna

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: have some final takeaways from the Chargers preseason game against

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: the Saints, and then we're gonna kind of look ahead

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: to this upcoming weekend against the forty nine Ers that'll

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: be happening on Friday night. So we kind of wanted

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: to make some adjustments from our show last week, where

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: last week was really heavy on the takeaways from the

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: previous game. Today we're gonna do a little bit more

34
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: stuff on the future, you know, upcoming matchup with the

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: forty nine ers in terms of things we want to

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: see change, things we want to see improve, and some

37
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: other stuff like that. So I'm excited to dive in today.

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, going to be all and hopefully the game's good.

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Friday night at seven o'clock. Don't love that, but

40
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: you know, it is what it is. That being said

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: before we get started. Of course, Tyler and I are

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: fans of the team, just like you guys listening. We're

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: very fortunate to have this platform and we're very grateful

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: for it. But the opinions that we express on this

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: show and every show that we do for the Chargers

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Channel are not always reflective of the opinions of the

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: Chargers organization themselves. At the end of the day, we

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: are independent content creators and we're very happy to be

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 2: here and express these opinions that we have on tonight's show.

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: All right, Tyler, let's dive in here again. We'll do

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: kind of one big takeaway each of us. We'll do

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: hand out some game balls like we did last week

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: to Darius Davis and Andrew Farmers. So I'm curious to

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: see who the choices are this week. But you know,

55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: we've had some time to reflect, look at the data,

56
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 2: look at the film, Tyler, what is your biggest takeaway

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: from the Chargers in Saints preseason game?

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: It was very different to find a true takeaway for

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: that game because there wasn't a side of the ball

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: that was, you know, particularly dominant or particularly bad, And

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: there wasn't a player that had an overwhelmingly positive or

62
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: overwhelmingly negative day. And even the players that you might

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: think you know didn't have such a great day, they

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: had a great game the previous game. So is it

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: really a takeaway to pick apart their game after just

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: having a really good game, and yes I'm kind of

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: talking about East and Stick there. What stood out to

68
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: me then after watching everything all the way through and

69
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: I kind of quote unquote blame Jordan McFadden here on

70
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: this one. What stood out was the resilience of young

71
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: first and second year players on this team, whether that's

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: between last game to this game or within the game itself.

73
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: And I'll start with Jordan McFadden, who you know. I

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: don't think he had a bad debut by any means

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: against the Rams, but it wasn't a great game from him.

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: After watching things back through and watching the film in

77
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: the All twenty two, Jordan McFadden had a really really

78
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: solid outing. I was pleasantly surprised. I can't tell from

79
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: the broadcast angle, but you'll be able to watch him

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: again and kind of focus on him and some of

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: the interior play. He had a really really good game.

82
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: So his bounce back from first game to this game

83
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: was fantastic. Quentin Johnston did not have a great first debut,

84
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: but then they put him back in the game and

85
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: they gave him that last shot, great touchdown, and there

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: was bounce back just within that game, and what do

87
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: you see. What would the difference have been if they

88
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: didn't let him do that at the end of that

89
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: first game. I don't know. Maybe he wouldn't be very

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 3: confident in this game. You can't quantify this, and he

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: had thirty something yards or whatever, but you could tell

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: there was just more confidence in the way he was playing,

93
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 3: attacking the football. Obviously he caught every pass. The resilience

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 3: that he showed was fantastic. Darius Davis muffs a punt

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: early in this game after having a great first week,

96
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: but then Ah muffs a punt this game. That's very

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: defeating and it could get to him instead. On their

98
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: final scoring drive, he has three catches, two of them

99
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: on third down, and they were not easy. They were

100
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: very clutch third down catches on that final drive and

101
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: they scored partially because of him. Dayon Henley J. T.

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: Woods could have had a better start to the game.

103
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: I think there's some plays that they would like to

104
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: have back, but they performed so well after that that

105
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: we're not talking about the mistakes that they had made.

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 3: We're talking about good games from these guys. You know,

107
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: whether it's tackles, passes, broken up sacks, etc. Stops. Both

108
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: those guys recovered from maybe not a great start to

109
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: the game, but they really started to find themselves and rebound.

110
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: And so to me, there was no amazing standout play

111
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: or player or whatever from the game, but I really

112
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: appreciated the way that each of these guys battled as

113
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 3: very young players, and it just shows that, look, these

114
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: guys are going to have to play at some point.

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: A lot of these guys are going to have to play,

116
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: but most of them are our depth guys or the

117
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: second guy or the third guy or whatever. They're going

118
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: to have to play. And to see that they went

119
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: out there and had some mistakes, took their lumps, whatever,

120
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: but fought back. I think that's really the takeaway for

121
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: me is the resilience of these very very young players.

122
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: They're going to have to play. You know, maybe they

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: won't play a ton to start, but guys get hurt,

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: they're going to have to play. And seeing these guys

125
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: rebound from the last game to this game or within

126
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: this game was fantastic. And there were many first and

127
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: second year players who had like just have been great.

128
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: Zion Johnson is awesome, but he's just he's just been really, really,

129
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: really good in these last couple of games. I love

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: seeing these guys bounce back and really speak to their

131
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: character and I love their resilience.

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the way that you put that. And

133
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: you know, Jordan mcfannan to me, was definitely a standout

134
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: after watching the tape, and like you mentioned, you can

135
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: kind of get a sense for the run game and

136
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: you can always tell when like the pocket is not

137
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: super firm upfront, but it's really difficult to gauge how

138
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: a guard or a center is really playing without being

139
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: able to watch that end zone view. And Jordan mcfannon

140
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: I thought was outstanding. I mean he allowed zero pressures

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: on Pro Football Focus, which sometimes can be misleading. You know,

142
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: there's yes, there's sometimes where PFF pressure or not pressure

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: can kind of go the other way. And you know,

144
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: they do have their statistic which is like, even if

145
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: you don't give up zero pressures, like, it doesn't mean

146
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: you're always winning your reps. But I thought Jordan mcfaannen

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: won a lot of his reps and there were several

148
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: times where he got isolated against Brian Brazi, who was

149
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: a you know borderline first round pick for the Saints,

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: very talented pass rusher, you know, defensive tackle type. Malcolm

151
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Roach is a quality defensive tackle who's going to play

152
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: a lot for them. He got isolated against him. There

153
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: were some really high level cutoff blocks in the run

154
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: game that I saw from Jordan McFadden. I was very,

155
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: very pleased with the way that he played last week.

156
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: You know, they're obviously the two holding penalties, just some

157
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: things that I think needed to be cleaned up with

158
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: his hand technique. But I thought the way that he

159
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: responded this week was fantastic. And you know, I still

160
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: think that his best long term position is at guard.

161
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens in terms of some future flexibility

162
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: down the road of his.

163
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Or Jamari Saliers or something like that.

164
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: But for the Chargers to have him rounding into shape

165
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: heading into the season, and we talked about Zach Bailey

166
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: last week, you know, this team has two really quality

167
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: backup guards that they can kind of have confidence in

168
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: heading into the season. And that's with two great starters

169
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, Zion Johnson, Jamuriy Slier, Zion Man. He's

170
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: he's just kind of on a different planet in the preseason,

171
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: like it is what you expect, right for a guy

172
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: of his pedigree and the way that he played last season.

173
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: He's been dominant in his snaps. It's only been I

174
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: think twenty seven is the total number something like that

175
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: through two preseason games, but super clean. Just like dominant

176
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: in the run game. We're seeing him them use him

177
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: more as a polar in the run game and it's

178
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: just fantastic to watch. So I had a similar thought

179
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: process of how to approach this show because I wanted

180
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: to highlight some of the twenty twenty two draft class

181
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: outside of Zion and Jamari, who were starters last year,

182
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: were heavy contributors. But we've really seen Isaiah Spiller take

183
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: very positive steps in this preseason.

184
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, he had the one big run which.

185
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: Really showed off the kind of balance and patience that

186
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: we saw at Texas A and M.

187
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: He's really coming into his own right now. JT.

188
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: Woods, who you just mentioned, has had some really good

189
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: moments in the preseason, you know, outside of the penalty,

190
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: I think he's been pretty solid so far. And then

191
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: Dean Leonard I think has been fantastic. He's really taken

192
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: a pretty sizable step forward in his development this summer

193
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: in general. He had a pass breakup that was really

194
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: like high level stuff today or not today, excuse me,

195
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday. And it's a play that we've seen a

196
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: Sante Samuel Junior do quite a bit where he's kind

197
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: of in that border line flat, you know, deep whole

198
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: shot kind of area, and Dean Leonard just booked it

199
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: and ran and leaped and got his hand on a

200
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: football and had a really nice pass breakup. He had

201
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: a couple of run stops. He's really active in that regard.

202
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: I really appreciate the way that he's playing the run

203
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: right now. So you mentioning the twenty twenty one class

204
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: and some of these other guys, like I think the

205
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two class is really starting to take shape

206
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: right now in a very positive way for the Chargers.

207
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you brought up Dean Leonard. He was

208
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: so close to being the game ball guy for me.

209
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: I almost feel like I could give him like an

210
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 3: off season ball because of how he's performed throughout the

211
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: entire offseason. It hasn't been like one specific game where

212
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: he has like, oh five pass breakers or something like

213
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: he did in training camp. That one day. But he's

214
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: been so good and just seeing him play the run,

215
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: play the pass, pass breakups, great on special teams. I

216
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: said at the last time we talked about this game,

217
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: I think Dean Leonard is the player. I've been the

218
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: most wrong about the about face that he's done. Now.

219
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: He hasn't played meaningful regular season snaps. It's not like

220
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: he's out there and he's going against Justin Jefferson in

221
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 3: Week two or whatever or week three. Excuse me, it's

222
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: not like that's happened yet. But what he's done with

223
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: almost no experience in college actually playing legitimate college football

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: to basically like four days into camp last year where

225
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: he was knocking everything down. What they've done, Derek Ansley,

226
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: Brandon Stalely, all these guys, what they've done with him

227
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 3: is incredible. His development's awesome. I can't wait to see

228
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: where he goes from here.

229
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely.

230
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: I think my biggest takeaway from this performance, though, which

231
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: I'll dive into here, is the way that tu Lee

232
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: twe Polow two played against mostly Trevor Penning.

233
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I saw him flip sides very much

234
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: at all.

235
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: Trevor Penning, a first round pick, pedigree kind of guy

236
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: who didn't play a ton as a rookie but got

237
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: to play, you know, down the back half of their season.

238
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: And played well.

239
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: And Thorn, who's one of the biggest offensive line gurus

240
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: in the in on social media, is pretty high on

241
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: Trevor Penning. Obviously, he's another duke and Manny Weather guy.

242
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: So Trevor Penning has some legitimate like chops Tom and

243
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: there was there was a really great battle between those

244
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: two in their limited action. I would have loved to

245
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: see some extended drives happen, just to see that matchup

246
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: really come to fruition.

247
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: But you know, two Ley got him on.

248
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 2: The run stuff on the run stuff obviously, which was

249
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: a fantastic rep Tooley had another pressure as well, and

250
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: there was another time where Trevor got him on the

251
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: ground on a.

252
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: Kind of a too.

253
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: He tried to turn the corner on him. But overall,

254
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: like the early returns on two Lee, twee p below

255
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: to have been so positive and I was pretty high

256
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: on him. I felt like heading into this, heading into

257
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: training camp, but he's really exceeded my expectations and I

258
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: think the way that he can defend the run is

259
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: really going to elevate his floor and give the charters

260
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: an edge three situation that we haven't really seen so

261
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: far under Brandon Stay. And I think just the effort

262
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: and the motor that he always plays with is such

263
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: a great standout. But I think it's more than just

264
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: like he's playing hard, like he's really setting the edge

265
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: at the proper times. He's being aggressive after tackles for

266
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: loss at the proper times. He got Trevor Penning on

267
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: a cross chop this week, So it's just like the

268
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 2: refinement is really coming along at at a higher pace

269
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: than I would have thought. And I think he can

270
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: be a really disruptive factor for the Chargers this year.

271
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: And I'm really excited to see what Brandon Stay can

272
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: do with you know, kind of like the NASCAR packages

273
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 2: with Morgan Fox, Truley, Joey Bosa and Klue Mac and

274
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: I think you can really just pin their ears back

275
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: and cause havoc and so, like I mentioned, the early

276
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: returns for Tully have exceeding my expectations, and I think

277
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: like the comfort level right now with him being an

278
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: instant impact factor, have really grown throughout the preseason and

279
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: trained camp, and I think that you know his ability

280
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: is is just going to continue to get better and better.

281
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: And he talked about this after the game with Eric Smith,

282
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: where he's just always trying to learn. You know, he'll

283
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: come off to the sideline and ask Joey Bosa Khalil

284
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: Mack like, hey, like, what did you see from this?

285
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: What did you see from that? What do you see

286
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: from the offensive tackle? Like it just he's absorbing so

287
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: much knowledge from the edge room and he gets to

288
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: go up against Rashawn Slater and practice every day like

289
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: and Trey Pipkins for sure. Yeah, And it's just like

290
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: a wealth of knowledge that he can absorb. And I've

291
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: been so happy with how he played. And you know,

292
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: if you hadn't taken your takeaway the way that you

293
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: did that, you know, the twenty twenty two draft class

294
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: would have been my thing. But had to bring up

295
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: Tuley in the way that he played after here in

296
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: your takeaway there.

297
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been awesome. I jockey between him and Quinton

298
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: Johnson as the best rookie performer so far. One guy

299
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: gets a lot more views and hype, and that's easier

300
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: to see what he can do. But seeing to a

301
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: play really from like a couple of practices to the

302
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: scrimmage and now again we keep singing his praises. He's

303
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: way more developed. And you never really know, like you

304
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: never really know where these guys are going to go,

305
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: like someone like I'm just throwing this out, like Gregory Russo,

306
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: these guys have a lot of talent. These guys can

307
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: do maybe a lot of things, and you see, maybe

308
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: they could do these things, but can you refine them

309
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: into doing like a couple of things well enough where

310
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: they can contribute early on? And I'm sorry, I don't

311
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: know what Greg Russo stats were his rookie year, but

312
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: truly they came out and said, I figure it was

313
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: if there was Tom Tolesco or Brandon Staley. They said,

314
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: we didn't take any projects. We took guys that are

315
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: gonna are gonna play right now and they're going to

316
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: contribute meaningfully. Doesn't mean they have to start, but they're

317
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: going to contribute. But with Tuley, again, we just didn't know.

318
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: We saw him do so many things at USC and

319
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: he's twenty freaking years He's still twenty years old. We've

320
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: been talking about him for months. He's still twenty. It's

321
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: not even September yet he's gonna turn twenty one in September.

322
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: I believe they said no projects and so, but we

323
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 3: weren't really sure. And he's on everything. He's done more

324
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: than any of us would have guessed. I think you

325
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: very much so liked him watching him. I didn't wat

326
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: him till after the draft. After watching him, all the

327
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: potential was there, but what does it turned into in

328
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: the NFL? And based on the way he battled against

329
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: Trevor Penning, it can't help but feel really, really good.

330
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: And there are so many moments where you can tell,

331
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: like in a year when he starts to develop a

332
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: bit more and learn a bit more and work with

333
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: these guys and play in the NFL, the almost will

334
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: turn into legit plays that he's making like he's very

335
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: very close on a few plays. Yes, Trevor Penning would

336
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: recover very well. He's got a year on him. He's

337
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: very athletic, obviously, works with Duke many Weather. You get

338
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: two in another year of just working against guys like

339
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: that and again against Shawn Slater, Trey Pipkins. He's going

340
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: to be something. He's honestly going to be fantastic. I'm

341
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: very excited about him.

342
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's, you know, the age thing.

343
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure some people are tired of hearing about it,

344
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: but you know, most most pass rushers in the league,

345
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: like unless you're like a legit like top ten guy,

346
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 2: most pass rushers peak at like twenty five. And for

347
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: the way that Tuley is playing right now as a

348
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: twenty year old, Like, really, this guy is the limit

349
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: for him. You know, again, he's in such a great situation.

350
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to be the edge one, Like he's

351
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: not gonna be required to be a three down player

352
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: right now. Like he gets to learn from two of

353
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: the best edge rushers in the game right now.

354
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: He's got a great position coach, and gif Smith.

355
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: Likes there's no pressure on Tuley for him to like

356
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: be an instant impact player. But I think that's the case. Like,

357
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: I think he's truly going to be one for this

358
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: team this year.

359
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the ripple effect is you know, Joey buss

360
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 3: A klil Mack. I think they played like almost ninety

361
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: percent of the snaps the first two games last year.

362
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 3: They didn't really have an official edge three that they

363
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: really felt like they could rely on. And sure, like

364
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: maybe there's some unproven nature, to Tuley and to Chris Rump,

365
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 3: even heading to Chris Rum's year three, But like, how

366
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: much better do you feel as Joey, as Khalil, as

367
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: Brandon Staley knowing you can help these guys and keep

368
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: them healthy and keep the rotation going and the longevity

369
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 3: might be there now For Joey Bosa, who's like, he's

370
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 3: not gone next year unless they trade him. The contract

371
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: really indicates that he's going to be here, and what

372
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: he's struggled with, and even you know, Brandon Thorn, I

373
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: read his recent breakdown of Joey. You know, these offensive

374
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 3: tackles consistently list him as a top five guy, but

375
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: he just can't stay out there all the time because

376
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: by the time the season ends, he's just very worn down.

377
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: Now you can put Tully out there, now, you can

378
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: put Chris Rum out there, and you don't have to

379
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: play these guys ninety percent of the snaps. I'd love

380
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: if they did. They're awesome, they're all pro guys, but

381
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: you don't have to. And so I think Joey Khalil,

382
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: Brandon Seale, these guy's got to be feeling so good

383
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 3: seeing this twenty year old and Chris Rum for that matter,

384
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: develop and take steps in training camp this year.

385
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

386
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: I think that's very very well said. Wrapping up that conversation,

387
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: All right, Tyler, let's get to our game ball segment here.

388
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: Who do you want to highlight as the game ball

389
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: of the week for you?

390
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: I am going to give it to Gerrod Clark, who

391
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: now leads all into your defensive lineman for the NFL,

392
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: not just rookies, all into your defensive linemen in run

393
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: stops and he's fourth in run stop rate at twenty

394
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: five percent. He also had another two pressures this game too,

395
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: And I always feel like he's close to getting a

396
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: sack and always the guy that helps the other guy

397
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: get the play. Sometimes when it's a sack, but he

398
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: doesn't make the play, He's always helping other guys make plays.

399
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: He's a guy who's exceeded my expectations even though he

400
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: was our number one undrafted free agent most likely to

401
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: make the team. Part of that was because of the

402
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: circumstances related to the position group and the injuries. We

403
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: didn't know with Austin Johnson, with Otito Agbonia, how these

404
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: guys would hold up, you know, would they get any better?

405
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 3: We didn't know, but I think JIROD Clark over the

406
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: last two weeks and really this game as well, has

407
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: shown that he belongs on the roster. Will that happen,

408
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: we'll see. There's so many guys jocking for different spots,

409
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: but at the very least he's earned the right to

410
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: be there. And whereas the Chargers have kind of always

411
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: had a nose tackle who could be very good against

412
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 3: the run, but maybe not offer you much beyond on that,

413
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: And we'll see what Jerad Clark. There's a lot more

414
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 3: games to be played, or one more game do you play,

415
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: but a lot of football in his career to be played.

416
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: The two pressures in this game are very very strong

417
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: indicators that there is something else there for Jerrod Clark

418
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: beyond just being the run stopping guy, Like they do

419
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: need some guys who can rush the passer too. You

420
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 3: can't just make the team necessarily on just the one

421
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: thing you do really well and maybe that's it. You

422
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: got to do at least one more thing. And Jerrod

423
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 3: Clark having these pressures is fantastic. So not who I

424
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: would have expected after this game. I certainly could have

425
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: gone with a couple of players, particularly on defense. But

426
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: I think Girod Clark was awesome in this game.

427
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned just his overall disruption. I think has

428
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: really improved over the last really since we saw the scrimmage.

429
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: You know, I thought he had a really good scrimmage.

430
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: He was pretty solid last week. He was really good

431
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: this pass Sunday. I think as well. In my opinion,

432
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: there were just a couple of times where he truly

433
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: was like a line of scrimmage setter, and that's something

434
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: that obviously braindon Vojoko did really well for this team

435
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: last year, and of like the guys who are really

436
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: playing in the preseason, he's really the only one that

437
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: can truly be a line of scrimmage setter. That's his

438
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 2: role obviously, and I think he executes that well. But

439
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: the pass rush has been a very pleasant surprise. So

440
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: I'm glad you highlighted him. I don't know how his

441
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: chances are of making the roster at this point. Austin

442
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: Johnson obviously coming back off the pup list has made

443
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: that a little bit more difficult. But you know, we

444
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: really haven't gotten any updates on Otito, and so there's

445
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: really no true like backup nose tackle behind Sebastian, Joseph Day,

446
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: and Gerard is that guy, so still kind of up

447
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 2: in the air, but the Austin Johnson thing does kind.

448
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Of change things there.

449
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely does. All right, who's your game ball

450
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: of the day?

451
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: My game ball again kind of a surprise based off

452
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: of what kind of our expectations were for him.

453
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with J. T. Woods for this one.

454
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 2: I think that you know, there was the bad angle

455
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: on the screen, but outside of that, I thought he

456
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: was really really solid. We saw him have two pass

457
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: breakups or at least two, like, you know, two times

458
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: where he got his hands on the football. Obviously, he

459
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: saved a big play over the middle to the tight

460
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: end Kroll, I think his name is where he really

461
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: like timed that ball perfectly. And you know, Dan Founce

462
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: was highlighting on the broadcast that so many of these

463
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: dbs were just like right in the right spot at

464
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 2: the right.

465
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: Time when it came to their hand usage.

466
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: That really does feel like an emphasis that Derek Ansley

467
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: has brought to the team this year, and I think

468
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 2: we're seeing that come to fruition with J. T.

469
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Woods.

470
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: I think that I would love, like we've said before.

471
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: I would love to see him get some like deep

472
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: center field targets just to see what his range can do.

473
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: But his athleticism really shows up in a lot of

474
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: key moments. You know, his two tackles that I thought

475
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: were legit run stops, I think you see that speed

476
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: and that burst you know, off the line really flash.

477
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: And you know a lot of people have these learned

478
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: about him as a tackler, and you know his miss tackle.

479
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Ray was pretty high in college, but you.

480
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: Know, you and I always felt like it wasn't an

481
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: issue of like instincts, It wasn't an issue of recognition.

482
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: It was just kind of like tackling technique. And I

483
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 2: think we've seen him really improve in that regard. You know,

484
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: he's really wrapping up and closing at a really high

485
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: level right now. So just for the improvements that we've

486
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: seen from him from last year to now, I think J. T.

487
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: Woods is deserving candidate here. And I thought he played

488
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: pretty well on Sunday, and he did against the Rams

489
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 2: as well.

490
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great call there. We've watched it, you know,

491
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: from the stands on the sideline at the scrimmage. These games,

492
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: he was kind of safety three by default right heading

493
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 3: into this season, and there was really no battle there.

494
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: By default, he was safety three. But at this point,

495
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: now having watched almost the entire offseason and almost through

496
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: the entire preseason, he's earned the right to be And

497
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: I feel significantly better about him now than I did

498
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: at the end of last season, where he had thirty

499
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: defensive snaps or whatever it was. Yes, plenty of things

500
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: to improve upon. Yes he has to play in an

501
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 3: actual NFL regular season game and play multiple games, but

502
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: I feel so much better about him. And there was

503
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: that particular play, I think it was the drive ender

504
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 3: on third down, kind of in the red zone where

505
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: it wasn't like a whole lot to it. You know,

506
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: he read the play, but he runs into the receiver

507
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: who's trying to block him, recovers, gets past him, and

508
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: then chases the ball carrier down whoever it was, to

509
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: the sideline and gets him out of bounds. And maybe

510
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: another player would have gotten there too, But you're seeing

511
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: like the instincts and the physicality and the will and

512
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 3: the drive, and of course after that he takes off

513
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 3: his helmet. He's like, yeah, he's super pumped, you know.

514
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 3: After the pass breakup I didn't see this live, but

515
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: rewatching the game, you know, he breaks up that pass

516
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: over the middle and then just like spikes the ball

517
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: into the ground, which you know, watch out for the penalties,

518
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: watch out for the penalties, but like let him have it,

519
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: let him do that. During the preseason, Yeah, he's feeling confident.

520
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 3: He's feeling really good. He's starting to, you understand the

521
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 3: game a bit better. He's everything's kind of slowing down

522
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 3: for him. He's feeling confident against the run, against the pass,

523
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: against screens, he's in on plays, he's playing with physicality.

524
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 3: He looks good and he's he's acting very confident and

525
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 3: it's showing. It's just translating from practice to preseason. Things

526
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: are looking really good for him. Is it perfect? No,

527
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: But the steps he's taken are tremendous. So again twenty

528
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: twenty two class, twenty twenty three class, a lot of

529
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 3: guys were really excited about.

530
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

531
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: The comfort level for him is is definitely increasing. You know,

532
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: I think the physicality he's played with in the preseason

533
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: has been a surprise, not just like from a tackling standpoint,

534
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: but you mentioned like that going up against that receiver

535
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: who's trying to block him. You know, he took out

536
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: some He took on a pulling guard one time, I

537
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: think as well. So the physicality has been a really nice,

538
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: pleasant surprise to watch. All right, let's get to this

539
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers preview a little bit for me. I'm

540
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: gonna say, like, the one thing I want to see

541
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: change differently is the way that Kellen Moore gets the

542
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 2: offense into a rhythm early on in the game. I

543
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: felt like watching that game back, there was just kind

544
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 2: of a and understandably there was a lot going on

545
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: outside of the game that day, but just like the

546
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: way that the offense came out, I wasn't in love

547
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: with the way that the game was called to start out.

548
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: And again this is preseason. I'm definitely not knocking Kellen

549
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 2: Moore by any means, sorry as I hit my computer there,

550
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: but I think, just like the way that the offense

551
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: came out, I would really want to see that improved.

552
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: And I think against the Rams there was just such

553
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: an intentionality with the way that they ran the football,

554
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: with the way that they got east and stick in

555
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: a rhythm, and we really didn't see that against the Saints.

556
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: It felt like they were trying to do too much

557
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 2: at certain times. It felt like they were trying to

558
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: kind of experiment with other calls that they didn't run

559
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 2: last week. And not to say that you don't want

560
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: to like practice these new things, but I just would

561
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: like to see Killen Moore come out, be more intentional

562
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: with the run game, be more intentional, give Easton Stick

563
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: some easy looks, get him in a rhythm to you know,

564
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: allow them to really kind of workshop things throughout the

565
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: rest of the game. It just it just felt like

566
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: there was not a great plan hending into this game,

567
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: and I would like to see that rectified heading into

568
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers game this week.

569
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you and I are almost on the same wavelength

570
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: there because I felt the same way. I'm just specifically

571
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: talking about the way that they use their tight ends,

572
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: and partially is just because you need to get Easton

573
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: Stick or Max Dugan if he plays comfortable and working early.

574
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: And it always it always feels like what do you

575
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: do with every rookie, right, every rookie quarterback, every young quarterback,

576
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: You get the tight ends involved.

577
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 1: Right.

578
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: Tight ends are the quarterback's best friend unless you're keening out.

579
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: And then of course you're their best friend. But for

580
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: the most part, you know you want those tight ends involved.

581
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: And it really over the last two games, we haven't

582
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: seen them, particularly the Trey mcckitty and Donald Parham get

583
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: involved in not necessarily intentionally. Now, there was a play

584
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: that could have been a touchdown, so I guess there

585
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: was some involvement and that opportunity was missed. But still

586
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 3: I feel like you could go back to these guys

587
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: I do. I don't know if the Chargers need to

588
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: answer this question. It's more just for me and for us.

589
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: I am very curious what kind of the plan is

590
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: for these guys. What can they do because Gerald Everett

591
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: is at minimum probably gone next year, and maybe he

592
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: misses a couple of games this season. Whatever, you're gonna

593
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: have to rely on these guys at some point, and

594
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: we just really haven't seen them do much with the

595
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: tight ends so far. And after watching Easton stick like

596
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: first game looked fantastic, second game, things are a bit

597
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: of a mess and we'll see how long he plays

598
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: this game. But to get him maybe a bit more

599
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: calm down but in a rhythm, how do you involve

600
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: these tight ends in the passing game and then another

601
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: extension of that, can these tight ends in the run

602
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: game or blocking in the passing game? I guess, can

603
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: they perform a bit better than they have particularly in

604
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 3: the run game. Now, this isn't necessarily all on the

605
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: tight ends. Obviously, you have two tackles, like your interior

606
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: is better because you have your actual two of your

607
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: starters there, and your tackles are not your starters. There's

608
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: no Zion Johnson prospect playing left tackle right tackle right now.

609
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: But they should not be more efficient running up the middle.

610
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: And yet throughout the preseason so far, granted hasn't been

611
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: a ton. When Josh mckelly and Isaiah Spiller run up

612
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: the middle, they have thirteen carries for seventy eight yards,

613
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: so six yards per carry. Rushing outside, it's just eleven

614
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: carries for thirty nine yards. You should not be twice

615
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: as effective running in the middle then you are outside.

616
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: Now again, I get it, you have Zion Johnson tomorrow

617
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 3: Sallier will collapse a good backup better, and I get that,

618
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: but you have to find some efficiency there. And it's

619
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: not all the tight ends, but I do need to

620
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: see the tight ends do a bit more to help

621
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: that outside those outside runs work because they felt very

622
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: downhill and kind of up the middle of the first game.

623
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: But they tried to go more outside this game and

624
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: it was not pretty. So if you're going to try that,

625
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: hopefully the Titans can contribute more. Or or because what

626
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: we've heard from Joshua Kelly and Kellen Moore's press conferences

627
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 3: and the coaches, or do you just stick with what

628
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: you're good at and like they've been saying, we're going

629
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 3: to do things that we're good at and not the

630
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 3: things we're not so good at. And granted that changes

631
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: with Shawn and Trey, but in the preseason do they

632
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: then just go back to a different rushing game. So

633
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: I'm kind of on the same wavelength with you, like,

634
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: how do they start this game? How do they get

635
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 3: east and stick? And this offense kind of just going

636
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 3: and flowing throughout the game?

637
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I think, you know, calling plays in the

638
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: preseason is is such a different bag than calling plays

639
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: for Justin Herbert, Likecker that's very simple, right, but you

640
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: know with Justin Herbert you're able to call a lot

641
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: of different things and he doesn't need to like come

642
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: out and get into a rhythm and give him some

643
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: gimmeis and and you know, establish his confidence. You know,

644
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen doesn't need that, Mike Williams doesn't need that.

645
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: But like, this offense is a very young offense that

646
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: we're seeing in the preseason, and you know, I don't

647
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: think we'll see Zion and Jamari play this this game.

648
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: You know, the third preseason game last year was even

649
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: less you know, starting caliber players in the previous two.

650
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: So that's kind of how Brandon Staty is operated. So

651
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: this is gonna be the full backup offensive line. You know,

652
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: we'll see about Quenton Johnson. I still think he probably plays.

653
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: But it's not like Easton sick Is is going to

654
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: come in with a bunch of starters and just have

655
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: like all this confidence. Like I think just the rhythm

656
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: aspect and the confidence aspect just needs to be addressed

657
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: heading into this this matchup, Like I give him some

658
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: easy throws, give the guys some yards after catch opportunities,

659
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: because the skill sets are all there. You know, John

660
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: high Towers good after the catch, when the Johnson's obviously

661
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: good after the catch, Donald Param's good after the catch.

662
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 2: You know, the running backs are good after contact at

663
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: this point which you know, Isaiah Spiller's improvement from week

664
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: one to week two of the preseason I think should

665
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: be noted well as well. But I think just like

666
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 2: be more intentional to get the offense into a rhythm,

667
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: and then as the confidence improves, then you can start

668
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: trying these other kind of concepts and calls that that

669
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: you are hoping to work on for kind of like

670
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: the first team in the future. So I just three

671
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: three and outs to start the game. Was pretty disappointing

672
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: to watch on film because it's like you're trying to

673
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 2: get these very valuable reps in these games, and I

674
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: just didn't love the intentionality that they came out with

675
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: last week.

676
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm also curious, we'll see how much he plays.

677
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: But I'm curious what they'll do with Quinton Johnson because

678
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: it felt like rewatching this like the first game, he

679
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 3: was very clearly the focal point, and not just in targets,

680
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: but like, okay, here's a screen, here's a shallow crosser,

681
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: like we're gonna let you do what you do, see

682
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: what you got, and of course he worked vertically this game.

683
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: It felt like, yes, he did get the targets, but

684
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: they kind of just used it more as the true

685
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 3: X receiver type, and they tried to also find ways

686
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 3: to just and I understand why free like John high

687
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: Tower a couple of times, and it felt like maybe

688
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: it was a bit more forced to those guys. So

689
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: I'm very curious if they lean in to Quentin Johnson

690
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: a bit more and really get him ready for week one, Like, Okay,

691
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: we tried some things out. Let's get easton stick back

692
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 3: on track or Max dug and if he starts or

693
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 3: whatever happens and gets you involved early in a way

694
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 3: that we did in week one. That granted, the results

695
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: weren't so good for Quentin Johnston necessarily, but you could

696
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: tell there was a different way they were getting involved

697
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: that game versus this past one.

698
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Tyler, What kind of changes are you

699
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: looking for from a defensive perspective against the forty nine ers?

700
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,239
Speaker 3: Ooh, good question. What changes am I looking forward to?

701
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 3: Is Derek Ansley still able to call plays? Is he

702
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: still out there as the guy who's I don't know

703
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: what the situation there is.

704
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's been very involved. I can

705
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: see him on the sidelines doing stuff. I don't know

706
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: if he's calling him plays, though, I would.

707
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 3: Love to see a shake up in the defensive line

708
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 3: rotation and just to see what some of these guys know.

709
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: They've kind of done this, but I want to see what.

710
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: I feel like we know what we have from some

711
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: of these edg rushers and from some of the I

712
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 3: think Chris Centen is making it. I think they've have

713
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: made that clear at this point based on the snaps

714
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 3: that he's had throughout training camp, that he's making it.

715
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 3: So i'd love to see some of these edge rushers,

716
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: some of these dtackles get a bit more involved that way.

717
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 3: I don't know how much I'd have to check. I'd

718
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: have to bug like Argent for this for example, like

719
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 3: how many stunts they're running and whatnot. Doesn't feel like

720
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: as much as maybe they'd love to in the regular season,

721
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: but of course that's it's the preseason. So maybe the

722
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: way that they utilize these guys and just changing up

723
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: the rotation just a little bit, and I think they

724
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: will by default because it's Game three.

725
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

726
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: I think Chris Hinton is really the only guy who

727
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 2: didn't play as much in the second half. I think

728
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: he still played a little bit, but second half was

729
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 2: pretty pretty clearly like GIROD Clark, cjcoy.

730
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: Let's get them some snaps.

731
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: Let's rotate in David Moa and Chris Hinton when when necessary.

732
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 2: But you know, I would like to see Terrence Lane

733
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: get involved a little bit more. We haven't heard from

734
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: him in a little bit. He's kind of like that

735
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: practice squad pass rushing defensive tackle. I think we haven't

736
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: really seen much from him, So I think that's an

737
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: interesting one. The Chargers did sign Tae Crowder today, a

738
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: linebacker previously of the Giants, and somebody else the Steelers.

739
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: There we go.

740
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: Had to think of that real quick. So the linebacker

741
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: rotation I think is going to be curious this week. Amen,

742
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: and Nick Neeman, we're both back of practice today, I believe,

743
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 2: so they should be healthy. So I'm curious to see

744
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: how that one goes as well, and just like how

745
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 2: the the lolling backer rotation can kind of work out

746
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 2: this week.

747
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Amen, They said Nick was just held out

748
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 3: because he was held out, but Amon was the guy

749
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: that was held up because of a bit of a

750
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: precaution there with injury.

751
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: Well, I think Nick was like planned to be like

752
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: I think he was injured like he didn't practice against

753
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: the Saints, and so that was kind of that whole thing.

754
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: Aimon must have had something pop up, like between the

755
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: second practice and the actual game, and so they just

756
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: rolled with Dyon and Blake Lynch and.

757
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: Mckel michael.

758
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: I can't remember how you say it, but yeah, Jones

759
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: the kid from Syracuse, and then Lynch obviously got injured.

760
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: So now they have to take Crowder. So we'll see

761
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 2: kind of what happens in the linebacker spot. I thought

762
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: Daane played really well on saturd on Sunday against the

763
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: Saints too, for what it's worth.

764
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. He was almost my game ball day

765
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 3: on It was fantastic. I forget exactly where he ended up.

766
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: I think it was like six tackles and five of

767
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: them were stops. Great game from him. Let's see it again.

768
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Tyler, anything else that you want to

769
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: see change this week change.

770
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: Not necessarily, It's more just questions that would need answering,

771
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 3: which is just some of the guys that are fighting

772
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 3: for that last spot.

773
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

774
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: I think if you specifically on offense, if you want

775
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 2: to highlight this, like I think you're talking about one

776
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: spot for Keeland Oss, John hight Tower, Stone Smart, and

777
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: Elijah Dotson, and I think there's different arguments for each

778
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 2: of them to make that spot.

779
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: What do you make of that group heading into the

780
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: last preseason game.

781
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the four I was thinking of. It's it's

782
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 3: going to just take one of them to force the

783
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: hand of the team. I think they've done whatever they've

784
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 3: done in practice. I think high Tower and Doss are

785
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: probably in terms of production in practice, probably your two

786
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: leads there. But Doss has made it quite a battle,

787
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 3: So as far as this team goes, I still think

788
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 3: that High Tower would make it over Dos. So I'm

789
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 3: really just looking for, really specifically Elijah Dotson and whether

790
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 3: he can force their hand, because they very clearly indicated

791
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 3: there's a spot open for you if you force it.

792
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 3: We do not have Larry Roundtree in front of you anymore.

793
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 3: Tyler Husman has been hurt, so there's no competitionally behind you.

794
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 3: That spot is yours, like there's a vacant spot there. Now,

795
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 3: it might go to a tight end, it might go

796
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: to a receiver, but it is yours, and he's done

797
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 3: a lot so far to earn that spot, so I

798
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: still think it goes to a receiver, especially with Jaillen

799
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: Guiten's injury, and I think that kind of breaks the

800
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 3: tie if there's any ties right now that I think

801
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 3: it go to a receiver. But I think Dowson can

802
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 3: really force his team's hand by having you know, I

803
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: think Austin Eckler kind of had it wrapped up the

804
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 3: first couple of games for him, but it was really

805
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 3: that final game that he played many many years ago

806
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: that made the team go Okay, we have to keep him.

807
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: And I think Elijahdawson's going to need that game, whether

808
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 3: it's receiving, rushing, catching the football, returning some kickoff returns, whatever,

809
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 3: He's going to have to have that kind of game.

810
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

811
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: I like I said on our show, I really liked

812
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: the way that he ran the football on Sunday night.

813
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: I thought that he was aggressive and physical. Obviously he

814
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: didn't get to get kind of any really big explosive runs,

815
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: but you know, those two catches that he dropped, unfortunately,

816
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: would have been some some nice games for that offense.

817
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 2: But you know, it's a learning process for sure.

818
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: You know.

819
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: Like I think if you had asked me this question

820
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: like two weeks ago, I would have said it's not

821
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 2: even a question as John high Tower. You know, he

822
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 2: was so explosive and productive over the first few weeks

823
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: of training camp. Then he had his injury and you know,

824
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: we didn't hear a ton of him against the Saints

825
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: in the practice, and then you know, I thought he

826
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 2: was open a few times, you know, watching the film back,

827
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: but it wasn't like he was, you know, super consistent

828
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: against the Saints. You know, had the two fallse star penalties.

829
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: There were a couple of times where I thought that

830
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: he ran the rout, ran the wrong route. So maybe

831
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: that was just his his first game back, jitter's kind

832
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: of thing. But kilan Asso has just been a really

833
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: steady presence for this team and specifically for East and Stick,

834
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: Like I think he's kind of stick security blanket in

835
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: a way, in a similar fashion of how Keenan is

836
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: for Justin. But Keilan is just always in the right spot,

837
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: I feel like, and he's having some really good moments.

838
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: He's working as a gunner on.

839
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: The Punk team as well, So it's just kind of

840
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 2: a matter of like pick your flavor right, Like, I

841
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: think you can make an argument for Stone Smart being

842
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: like this really intriguing tight end prospect who's only played

843
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 2: the position really for two years, you know, being a

844
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: former college quarterback. But can you really justify keeping four

845
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: tight ends? You know, Elijah dottson the same kind of thing,

846
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: like intriguing prospect, But do you really want four running

847
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: backs again, you know?

848
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: Or do you want six receivers? Which receiver do you want?

849
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: Maybe the guy who's more explosive versus the guy who's

850
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: maybe been more consistent.

851
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: So I agree with you.

852
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: I think somebody one of these four needs to have

853
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 2: like a breakout performance and that's how they're going to

854
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: earn a spot, because right now I think it's just

855
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: way too muddy of a picture between this group.

856
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I even think there's a point where they could

857
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 3: just find another defender to add to this team and

858
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: not keep a sixth receiver or a fourth height end

859
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 3: or a fourth running back. Maybe that's Mullen on special teams.

860
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: Maybe they need to find a spot from Mark Web

861
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: because he has been performing well, he's just been hurt.

862
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: Maybe it's another linebacker who knows like I think, or

863
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: Drug Clark, let's keep him, Let's keep seventy tackles because

864
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 3: we can't or Cjakoye. You know, like these, I do

865
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 3: think the defenders have maybe earned it a bit more.

866
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 3: I think they've been more consistent, have been awesome in camp,

867
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 3: so I think they could also just see all four

868
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: guys and go, yeah, I'd rather give Jay Rodgers c

869
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 3: j Okoye for another few years than you know, force

870
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: myself to have to hold on to Elijah Dowson.

871
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: Man seven defensive tackles, though I don't I don't know

872
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: about that one.

873
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: Let Jay Rodgers have it. He's, you know, let him

874
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 3: have it, let him have it.

875
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 2: He's he's officially in Ryan Ficken territory where he can

876
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: just have whatever he wants.

877
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 3: Then absolutely, and you know, maybe he'll play one of

878
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: the wings that kick off return too, like Brandon did

879
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 3: that one.

880
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: There you go.

881
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: You know you mentioned Tailan Mull and a light and

882
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: Mark Web I think that room needs to be sorted

883
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: out a little bit as well. I think we know

884
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: there's the five corners that we feel good about, obviously

885
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: J C. Michael Davis, Assanti Simon Junior, Jesseer Taylor, and

886
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: Dean Leonard.

887
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: We know that there's at.

888
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: Least four safeties that are gonna make it you know,

889
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: depending on how Mark Webb's injury is, he's.

890
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: Probably that fifth guy. But that that's kind of still

891
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: up in the air.

892
00:41:59,000 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 3: You know.

893
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 2: You mentioned Taiwan mull Cam Brown's had some good moments,

894
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: the undrafted free agent from Ohio State. So that's that's

895
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 2: a group that needs to be sorted out as well

896
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: heading into the last preseason game. And you know, obviously

897
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: special teams is going to be really crucial there too.

898
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever happens, it'll happen. I hope everyone does well,

899
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 3: and we will react to it next week.

900
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: Yes, that is right, That is right.

901
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: So next week at this time, we'll be officially reacting

902
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: to the Chargers and roster cuts. As a reminder, it

903
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: is an initial fifty three. You know, there's always some

904
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: movement that happens after cutdown day. Hoping anybody who does

905
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: get cut ends up, you know, on their feet and

906
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 2: lands in a good situation. If it's with the Chargers

907
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: practice squad, obviously great. If it's elsewhere, we wishid nothing

908
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 2: but the best in those other spots as well.

909
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

910
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 3: Soon we're almost there.

911
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: Soon, almost there, almost to the regular season. You guys.

912
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 2: We have college football back on Saturday. You know, and

913
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: we have one final preseason game and then it's almost

914
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: too Week one and can't wait.

915
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be there too, but we'll talk about that.

916
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 3: I can't wait, Like when Sharli comes back on, We're

917
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: talking about Staley versus McDaniel. That's gonna be awesome. I'm

918
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 3: excited we're so close to the regular season. Yeah, this

919
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: week one matchup is fantastic. I think the schedule makers

920
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 3: did a great job giving the Chargers a really nice

921
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: home opener, So I'm.

922
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: Excited to get to that point.

923
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 2: All right, that's gonna do it for us today, guys,
