1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: This is Michael Badgeley and you're listening to the Chargers 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: Podcast Network. All right, guys, welcome to a special home 3 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: edition of Chargers Weekly with Haley ol Wood and the 4 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: voice of the Chargers Matt Money Smith Money, How you doing, buddy. 5 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: I believe now you're supposed to call me cousin Matt. 6 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: It's cousin there. According according to the Zoom, it's cousin Matt. Yeah, 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: that's my cousin Jeff, who lives in Houston. We're very 8 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: tight knit group, my maternal side of the family. So 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: as all this was hidden and we were chatting a 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: little bit on a text thread, my cousin Jeff decided 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: we should all get together on a Saturday and maybe 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: have a toast and spend about an hour or two 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: hours together with all the cousins that are scattered across 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: the country. So I would, and I'm not tech technologically 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: savvy enough to change it. Someone happened because it popped 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: up it said Haley is joined the Zoom and then 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 1: it says cousin Matt has has joined the Zoom. So 18 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad that have cousin I like him, Glad to 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: have cousin that there's worse things to be than a 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: right Yeah, exactly. Money. The last three weeks, Bolts have 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: been busy in free agency. You bring over Chris Harris Junior, 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl champion, Trey Turner, five time Pro Bowler, 23 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: Brian Bulaga, steady right tackle, Lindvall Joseph. A lot of 24 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: moves to solidify this roster in twenty twenty. Yeah, interesting moves, um, 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, and I think if we're trying to read 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: the tea leaves, you know, you bring in instead of 27 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: spending money on a left tackle, after you trade your 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: left tackle, you're bringing a right tackle and you're bringing 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: a right guard, and you got an all Pro center 30 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: in my folency's healthy, and what you got a really 31 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: good right side, I mean, probably the best right side 32 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: of an offensive line in all of football. And that 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: doesn't heck of a job protecting a left handed quarterback. So, 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, I think if everything falls perhaps the right 35 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: way in the draft, I guess that's kind of the 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: way I look at that. A little bit of war, 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: you know. I think the alternate way to read the 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: Bologus signing is maybe there's some confidence in Trey Pitkins that, 39 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, last year was that red shirt year, and 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: he's ready to take over it that left tackle, and 41 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I guess I'll figure out that guard situation between you know, 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: Dan Feenie if he has to place in center, or 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: maybe Quest play center if Pouncey's not ready to go, 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: And you know what was probably the one group that 45 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: took the most incoming and had the most issues last 46 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: year becomes one of the strength. So I guess I'll 47 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: start there with you know, the Bologus signing, which I 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: do think was was the biggest of all the free 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: agent signings that they made well, and I think to 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: kind of just piggyback off of that, Tom talasco at 51 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: the combine and said reinforcing the offensive line that that's 52 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: a priority this whole off season, and I think it's 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: sort of even started with going back to bringing in 54 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: James campin to now run that unit. And it just 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: makes sense when you bring in a guy like Bologo, 56 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: who has the familiarity with him even in this sort 57 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: of unfamiliar time and off season that we're currently in, 58 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: that that's just a benefit right off the bat, right, Yeah, Haley, 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: And I mean you I saw you you had a 60 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: conversation with him as well, so you can certainly speak 61 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: to that, you know, at least having someone and look 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: offensive line when you when you talk to people around 63 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: football and coaches, and I'm sure a lot of the 64 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: people watch and know this, but it's it's regularly described 65 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: as that glove. You know, it's five fingers on a glove, 66 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: and if they are not in sync, one person isn't 67 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: in sync and it can all fall apart. And when 68 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: you have a new offensive line coach, you know, but 69 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: you regularly here, especially in college, where head coaches really 70 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: have more control over their staff over the entire operation 71 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: than in the NFL where they kind of let their 72 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: position coaches do sort of what they do and they're 73 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: describe more as a CEO role. I mean, the one 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: thing you hear about college football is there's one guy 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: you can't mess with, and that's the offensive line coach. 76 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: And if you have a good one, you will spend 77 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: big money to keep him. So yeah, i'd a great 78 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: point by you that maybe Camping wont it's someone with 79 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: some familiarity with how he wants to coach and run 80 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: offensive line. And that also goes into Anthony Lynn throughout 81 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: this offseason kind of speak into the idea that you 82 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: may want to start running the ball a little differently. 83 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: We you know, may see the chargership talking scheme that, 84 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: of course he was part of in Denver the won 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: two Super Bowls. He switched it over to defense Bunny 86 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: Chris Harris Junior, he has some familiarity with with coach Milo, 87 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: his first defensive backs coach in the NFL. I look 88 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: at this secondary. Now it's crowded, but it's stacked, right, Yeah, 89 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: Casey Hayward, you got Derwin James, you could play everywhere, 90 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: ray Sean Jenkins, you had Chris Harris Junior probably playing 91 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: the slack, but can play anywhere as well. And then, 92 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: by the way, Nazier Avonie, we keep talking about that 93 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: fourth preseason game last year where he was all over 94 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: the field. If he can make some inroads this year, 95 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: get on the field. You got a dangerous secondary in 96 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: an AFC West where you gotta beat the Chiefs first 97 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: and foremost. Yeah, no question, and that'll be that'll be 98 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: interesting because we know, you know the coaches and I 99 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: think we've had this conversation before Chris about about ray Sean, 100 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: and we know the coaching staff seems to like him 101 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: quite a bit. But I think if that's an open competition, 102 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: at that free safety, free safety becausition, and you know, 103 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: I just think back to the draft and when when 104 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: Aderlee was sitting there, you know, listening to not just 105 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, Daniel Jeremiah who does the games with us, 106 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: before he knew the Chargers were going to take him, 107 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: when a lot of people thought he might be a 108 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: back end of the first round selection, the perfect compliment 109 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: that Derwin James just being that open field roam or 110 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 1: someone who really tracks the ball well, who can break 111 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: and close and create those turnovers. It'll be interesting because 112 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: ray Sean, you know, according to coaches, has kind of 113 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: done everything that they've asked him, lose weight, move positions, 114 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: and you want to reward a guy when when he 115 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: does that. But I think if it is an open competition, 116 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: maybe some of those instincts angles and being able to 117 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: break and sort of read situations, I think maybe do 118 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: favor Aderlee. So it'll be interesting to see how that 119 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: plays out. I think the one name you left dot, 120 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: which is a name that I think a lot of 121 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: the casual fans have mentioned with the news that Chris 122 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: Harris shared that he was sold as being a slot corner. Well, 123 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: what does that mean for Desmond King doesn't had a 124 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: rough goo last year? He really did, and I think 125 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: that's why makes sense that when they play a lot 126 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: of that time, that he could fill that Adrian Phillips 127 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: role perfectly, and that might be a better fit when 128 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: you have someone like Chris Harris on your team overall money. 129 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: When you look at these free agent signings, this is 130 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: a team that I think every team every year when 131 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: free agency starts. I mentioned this on the Beat Writers 132 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: Pod last week. It's like, what are the Chargers going 133 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: to do? And they really did seem to fortify a 134 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: lot of different positions, But what do you sort of 135 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: make of what they did and then how they can 136 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: supplement in the draft? Yeah, you know, the Joseph signing, 137 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,119 Speaker 1: I think signals that that maybe Tillery didn't come along 138 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: quite as much as they had hoped. You know, I 139 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: think you feel like you have one of those those 140 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: positions build with Justin Jones. Obviously, you know what you 141 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: got on the ends, and I think they're looking to 142 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: make what could be you know, argued and obviously you 143 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: have San Francisco Buto with the Forest Buckner out of there. 144 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: I think it then puts it back up for grabs. 145 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: You know, the best defensive line in football, and I 146 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: think the idea that you can have someone that not 147 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: only can occupy one two blockers, but but also get 148 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of push, you know, is what Jose 149 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: has been able to do his entire career for Ingram. 150 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: You don't feel like there's a substantial drop off when 151 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Isaac Rochell gets in there. I mean, it really is 152 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: a heck of a defensive line. I think that was 153 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: maybe the one question mark. So you feel that slap 154 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: corner was an issue for them last year. You feel 155 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: that the offensive line was an issue. You mentioned that earlier. Ale. 156 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: You feel that and this is a team that feels 157 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: like we can compete, you know, we can compete for 158 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: a division title. Injuries got us last year. Setting that 159 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 1: up to now, you know, kind of answer your question 160 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: after that long setup about what do you do now 161 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: moving forward? All quarterbacks clearly the question. You know, Tarad 162 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: is obviously a solid player, a player that's pretty much 163 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: just been a five hundred quarterback his career. A lot 164 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: of tight games, doesn't make a lot of mistakes. If 165 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: you have a dominant defense, and you get out there 166 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: and win, and instead of losing all nine of your 167 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: one score games, you win half of those, or you 168 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: win three quarters of those, and you're buying yourself, you 169 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: know what a ten wins spot. But I'd be very, 170 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: very surprised if if you didn't hear a quarterback come 171 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: off the board with that first pick, whether it be 172 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: at number six, whether they move up, maybe they like, 173 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, somebody else, And I shouldn't say the first 174 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: pick is. I think Tom Tolesco has always showed us 175 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: he's the best player available, you know, GM, He's just 176 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: always done that. Whatever the number one guy is on 177 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: his board, it seems like that's the player that they take. 178 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: Quarterback can change that, and you know, dramatically. So I 179 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: don't think they would reach at six. If let's say 180 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks are gone by the time they pick, I 181 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: don't know if they reach for that fourth one at 182 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: number six. Maybe that's a situation where you see them, 183 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, draft and Isaiah Simmons, who would be just 184 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: something to behold on the same field as Derwin James 185 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: and posts an Ingram or you know, a dominant left tackle, 186 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: you know, like a Beckton or a Wills whichever, or 187 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: Thomas which everyone. You know they may have a top 188 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: their draft board, so it'll I think what the free 189 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: agent moves do, it puts them in a position where 190 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: they don't feel like, oh, we've got to fill a hole, 191 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: and this is the best player in this particular group 192 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: of players that we have a need for money. You 193 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: just mentioned so many guys that are possibilities at number 194 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: six overall. Another guy Jeffrey Akuta, and just just imagine this. Right, 195 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: we're in the AFC West, You're playing the Kansas City 196 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs twice a year. They are clearly the team to be. 197 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: If you rolled out a secondary with Casey Hayward on 198 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: one side, Jeffrey A. Couta on the other, Nazier Adderlee, 199 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: Desmond King, Durwin James, you could play everywhere. Could that 200 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: be a potential blueprint to just put together the best 201 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: secondary possible? And then maybe you draft a quarterback or 202 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: you move up in the first round with your second 203 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: round pick to get a quarterback. Who knows. Yeah, I 204 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: think it's a great point, and I think if A 205 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: Couta is there, I have no question that that would 206 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: be an intriguing option. No question about it and you know, 207 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: of course, what do you always hear that, you know, 208 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: the front and back of the defense when it's connected 209 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: in one hand, is truly washing the other. And you've 210 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: got to bosa ingram pass rush my goodness, and then 211 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: you have that kind of secondary that's how you slow 212 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: you know, a passing attack. That is it is piloted 213 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: by Pat Malomes, so that would make perfect sense. And 214 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: then as you mentioned that, there are a lot of 215 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: and I know you do it on chargers dot Com 216 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: quite a bit. There's a lot of mock drafts that 217 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: not a lot, but you know, there's I think enough 218 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: buzz that show the Chargers maybe trading back into that 219 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: first round to get Jordan Love where he decide because 220 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: kind of once you get past you know, sort of 221 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: the Chargers at six or even because it's a short 222 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: term deal, the Panthers at seven. You know, by all accounts, 223 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: everything I've heard is that the Jags are sold on 224 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: Minshew and they are going to move forward with him 225 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: as their starter. You really don't have, you know, a 226 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: lot there. Maybe the Raiders. There's been some buzz about 227 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: the Raiders and Jordan Love and they've got two first 228 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: round picks, even with the signing of Marcus Mariota, and 229 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: they already you know, I guess the the incumbent, if 230 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: you want to describe him as that. I think that 231 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: deal for Mariota suggests that's an open competition if they're 232 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: a car But I think that then you know, brings 233 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: in the possibility of it loves the guy that slides. 234 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: Do you trade back into the first round or do 235 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: you await in that second round and with or pick, 236 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: because it's a high second round pick, are you comfortable 237 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: with someone like Jalen hurts Um, which I think is 238 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: a very intriguing option, especially with all we've heard from 239 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: from Anthony land about how much he likes having a 240 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: quarterback with some mobility. I was gonna say that second 241 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: round pick is so interesting because this team hasn't picked 242 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: this high since twenty sixteen when they took Bosa with 243 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: a third overall pick and then drafted Hunter Henry in 244 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: the second round. And you think those are such two 245 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: prime players for this team that the value of having 246 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: that high second pick is really beneficial. Yeah, no question, 247 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: because it's like a first you know, when you when 248 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: you get into that top forty, you kind of feel like, 249 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: especially if it's a deep draft that or a deep 250 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: position group that you may have, I need them. Um, 251 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, I think when you look at second quarterbacks 252 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: are tough, right because you can, you know, you can 253 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: make your case for guys like if there's just not 254 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: enough of them, like Russell Wilson you know, who is 255 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: drafted in a third round or Nick Foles who won 256 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and a Super Bowl MVP as a 257 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: third round pick. Obviously we all know the story of 258 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: the hundred ninety nine pick, Tom Brady. Andy Dalton has 259 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: been a viable starter rights as a second rounder, Derek 260 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: Carr a solid player as a second rounder. But typically 261 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks are the ones that are drafted high, 262 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: like you know, in those first fifteen to twenty picks 263 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: is where you're going to find, you know, a pro 264 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: bowl caliber, franchise potential quarterback. It's just history has proven that. 265 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: And and I think with Philip Rivers haven't moved on 266 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor at thirty one years old, who has a 267 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: number of starts and I think a body of work 268 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: he can feel pretty good about projecting what he is. 269 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: I think you look at you look at that situation 270 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: and it just seems to line up if that players 271 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: there and look for me, I'm a college football fan. 272 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: I watched college football on Saturday as I used to 273 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: call college football for five six years, grew up watching it. 274 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: I love too, I mean I freaking love that guy 275 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: and love watching him play football. Loved the suddenness, the 276 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: burst to be just a electricity that he possesses at 277 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: that position. Um is something that you don't see often, 278 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: and you know, maybe out of their control. You know 279 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: that the Redskins may take in it too, and there's 280 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it. Um. It may cost 281 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, that second pick a third pick one next 282 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: year if they want to jump up to get him. Um. 283 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: But but that's in this draft. To me, that is 284 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: you know a lot of people say Chase Young is 285 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: the best player in the draft, and I understand why 286 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: people are excited about Joe Burrow. But man, I just 287 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: love the way to a place football. Um, and we're 288 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: it enough for those injuries. I have no question he'd 289 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: be the number one overball pick money outside of two. Uh, 290 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: you're locked into this stuff as well as anybody with 291 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: with Lance and Bucky and DJ, who are a few 292 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: of your your favorite players in this draft that don't 293 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: have to be first round. There's maybe some guys that 294 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: you're intrigued by that you wouldn't mind seeing in powder blue. Yeah, 295 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot. You know, we talked about this 296 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: right after the combine Chris and Haley, and I think 297 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: you know there there is depth at the wide receiver position. 298 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: You could see Michael Pittman being there in the second 299 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: round as as someone although I think that's probably not 300 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: necessarily the type of receiver they'd be looking for. They'd 301 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: probably be looking for someone with more speed or rager 302 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: I know who had a bad combine and probably caused 303 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: him to slip a little bit. But man, if you 304 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: watched any any TCU football, that dude is unbelievable. Mims 305 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: from Baylor that that group is exciting. Um, there's going 306 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: to be value there. I mean, you could find a 307 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: Labisco Channel may be available in the high third where 308 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: they're picking, just trying because there's so much talent, and 309 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, our colleague Daniel Jeremiah says it best. You know, 310 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a basketball team when it comes to 311 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: your receiver group and you need the center that can 312 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: post up you know, and you need you need a 313 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: small hole d the swing who can kind of do 314 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. And you need that point 315 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: guard um that can be shifting and get himself open 316 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: with the bonus hand. You just think about all those 317 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: different things, and you know the Chargers can use some 318 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: speed um and someone to take the top off of 319 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: a defense. I know they just signed Jenny's and I 320 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: think that's it is a great signing for them because 321 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: of the kick return potential there and I think, you know, 322 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: a competition that needs to be had at that position, 323 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: so wide receiver I look at. I think you gotta 324 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: look at running back right with Melvin Gordon moving on 325 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: as much as is it looked great with Jackson and 326 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: Neckler as a tandem back there. I think the injury, 327 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, concerns with Jackson suggests that that you ought 328 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: to look at running back Darrington out of Evans, out 329 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: of out of Appy State. I love just selfishly because 330 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm a PAC twelve guys Zach Moss and Josh Kelly. 331 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: I think you're talking about two guys, two hammers that 332 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: you could get in the later rounds. That's awfully exciting 333 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: as well, and just because you said, you know, it 334 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be first rounders, but look, if the 335 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: quarterback thing doesn't work out, I'll say it again, the 336 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: idea of Isaiah Simmons flying around on that defense is uh. 337 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: You know you mentioned a COUD. I think as excited 338 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: as you get Chris about a COUD, I feel that 339 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: way about Isaiah Simmons. You know, it just kind of 340 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: having post to, you know, at Simmons and James as 341 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: you can talk about the three levels and the ability 342 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: of just that speed and that talent. He's a bigger 343 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: Derwin James Bunny. He is. Yeah, I think that's I 344 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: think that's kind of what you hear about about Simmons 345 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: is that here is and that's That's the one thing 346 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: about Darwin that maybe people don't recognize is one of 347 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: the things that makes him so special is how big 348 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: he is. So not only is he this supreme athlete, 349 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: but he is a big, strong safety. When you see 350 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: him on the field, towers over other guys. And you 351 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: don't need a lot to tower at that position, but 352 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, you're talking about an extra couple inches and 353 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: extra ten fifteen twenty pounds and that's Isaiah Simmons. You know, 354 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to the linebacker position, He's not big. 355 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean he's not Denzel Pairman yoked, but his length, 356 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: his height and his ability to cover gets You know, 357 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: when you think about what Derwin, I just think about 358 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: how effective the Chargers have been against Travis Kelsey with 359 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: Derwin on the field. Well, now you free up Derwin 360 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: because you can put Onzaiah Simmons on that guy. And 361 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: when you're talking about winning your division and tight ends 362 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: and the fact that the Broncos got no offense the 363 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: draft last year, they went out and sign Nick Venette 364 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: was a very good all around tight end. I mean, 365 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: you've got to play to win your division. Look at 366 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: Darren Waller for the Raiders, you know. I mean that's 367 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: kind of what I think about with with Simmons. There 368 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: is just how good he would be in the modern 369 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 1: NFL where the athletic um just kind of tight end 370 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: has really taken over. And you saw it in the 371 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, right you saw it with with 372 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: with with George Kittle, and and you saw it um 373 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: you know, kind of throughout the entire season. You know, 374 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: with with the career of Grandkowski and what he was 375 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: able to do with the Patriot. So Travis Kelsey, you know, 376 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: again the other side of that Super Bowl and the 377 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: winning side of the Super Bowl. So I think that's 378 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: kind of where that whole Simmons thing sort of fits in. 379 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: And you know when you mentioned Akuda and the idea 380 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: of trying to slow down Sammy Watkins Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey, 381 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: you got to have those tools in your toolbox for 382 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley to go out and win a division. You're 383 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: excited for this virtual draft here money coming up in 384 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. You know, I'll be honest, Hey, 385 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm anxious to see how they're doing. Yeah, I 386 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: think I think it's you know, I think we're going 387 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,239 Speaker 1: to find out, like the next week whether or not 388 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: this is going to look like a traditional draft or 389 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, because you know, I look 390 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: at the NFL network. Our control rooms are closed. The 391 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: only shows that that we are doing, you know, for 392 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: governor newsms, you know, California Protocol and Mayor dar City 393 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: in the City of La you can't have people in 394 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: a control room. They're just it's it's a small room 395 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: and they're too close to one another, and and you know, 396 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: I get kudos to to Mike Mariano and Mark Wizzell 397 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: and and everybody over there for doing what they're doing, UM, 398 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: because it's it's gonna be tough to pull off in 399 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: light of what kind of the not I don't want 400 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: to get down this road because I don't know what 401 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I'm just following the news. But in 402 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: light of what the projections are it's going to look like, 403 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: UM in the next two to three weeks to kind 404 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: of have the you know, to have Roger Goodell either 405 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: at those NFL offices, which are beautiful, um and to 406 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: some degree ornate, or in his home conducting the draft 407 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: when everything's going on in New York that's projected to 408 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: be going on in New York. We certainly hope that's 409 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: not the case, UM, and they're able to flatten this 410 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: thing out and get a handle on it. UM. But 411 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know, I wouldn't be opposed to to, 412 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, having it'd be, like you said, a virtual 413 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: social media draft, and it's just, you know, the big 414 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: production is gone. The ten talking heads at a table 415 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: sitting two feet apart from one another, is gone, and 416 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: it becomes a Twitter or an Instagram event and and 417 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: that's it, you know, and you have analysts maybe doing 418 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: their own thing on Instagram live or or on a 419 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: ZAM call, and that's just what's broadcast. I don't think 420 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: anyone would would feel like they were cheated. Um, if 421 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: if it didn't have all the bells and whistles and 422 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: the character generators on the bottom of the screen and 423 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: instead you just kind of had to follow along on 424 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: a website and a tracker that way, or on Twitter, 425 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't like. I wouldn't feel like I 426 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: was cheated at all. And I think everybody would totally 427 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: understand if that's the way this thing ended up happened 428 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: to be run. Yeah, that's any more important things? Oh sorry, 429 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: go Chris. No. I just think that there's so many 430 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: more important things going on in our world, in our 431 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: country right now. And uh, if if the draft is online, 432 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: like it's a fantasy draft, great, you know, if it's yea, 433 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: if it's done from somebody's house, fine, you know, that's 434 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: that's almost kind of secondary. You know, football is in 435 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Haley and I have talked about it like free agency 436 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: was a nice respite I think for for fans and 437 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: and just to to kind of get away from from 438 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: everything and enjoy your your team's editions and however they 439 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: do it fine, right, yeah, no question. Um. And I'll 440 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: make this guy, Haley, I know you wanted to say something, 441 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: but I'll just make this super quick. Like I'm not 442 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: saying don't through the draft. I think it's imperative. I think, 443 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: you know, we know sports is the most one of 444 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: the most important commodities this country has to offer, um. 445 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: And it's probably our number one product. It's consumed um 446 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: And I think we recognize that now. And I do 447 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: think for people that are at home, uh in or 448 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: depressed and you know, or trying to get through this 449 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: without watching the news every day all day. UM, I know, 450 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: I you know, I have to take a break. You know, 451 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: I'm not an anxious guy. I'm not someone who gets 452 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: freaked out really by anything. And it's been tough for me, 453 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, just kind of constantly the garage of bad 454 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: news that that we see and trying to figure out 455 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: where that where that light of positivity is, you know, 456 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: and when it might be coming. I think it's great 457 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: that the NFL can do some business and provide some 458 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: content without putting anybody in danger. Um. So again, I 459 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: think you do it, but you do it responsibly. I 460 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: was just going to make the joke. Whatever happens, just 461 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: make sure DJ is six feet apart. Yeah, well he'll be. 462 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: He'll be in a you know, if it happens, just 463 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: because I do kind of know some of the what's 464 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: being kicked aroun it from his house. He will do 465 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: it from his house. Rich will do it from his house. 466 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: It would just be a split screen of those guys 467 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: communicating with one another from their own home offices. Um. 468 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: And that's the NFL network. Yeah, that would that's what 469 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: the NFL network Draft will look like if if it 470 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: is broadcast. So um, you know, I can't speak to 471 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: what what ESPN is is thinking about doing or how 472 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: they would do it, but you know, I'm fine, and 473 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: I think all football fans would be totally fine with 474 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: without all the fancy sets and the Madonna mikes and 475 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: and the thousand dollars suits and makeup and hair and 476 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: all that. Um, and just get excited about about some 477 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: college football players that have busted their tails, you know, 478 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: realizing their dreams and making it to the NFL. If 479 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: that means it's you know, a two sentence tweet, um, 480 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, from from someone at the league, up from 481 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport or Adam Scheckter or whom, or Roger Goodell 482 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: who has twitter feed or whomever. I think that would 483 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: be pretty cool. Actually, yeah, these are unprecedented times, and 484 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens over the NICT couple 485 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: of weeks. But you know, in the meantime we'll be 486 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: doing these zoom calls with cousin Matt hopefully. Yeah, it's 487 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: it's a boy later later in April, Bunny stupid looking 488 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: giant fan in the background.
