1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: It has a late fifteen to ten touched up suck.

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: Everybody will come into a week zero edition of a

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Charger's Weekly Money and I back on the virtual setup

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: after a fun four or five weeks of camp money,

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: getting to sit down with players and learn how their

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 2: off season was.

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: Checking on a training camp, and we're about a week

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: away from a getting real.

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: We are, you know, big day yesterday.

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 4: Obviously you get to know a handful of these players,

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 4: and they obviously have dreams and goals, and sadly you

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: can't keep all ninety. It gets trend to fifty three.

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 4: We're waiting, you know, as we record this right now,

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: the practice squad has not been set, at least I

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 4: don't think it has. I haven't seen anything. You know,

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 4: players are still clearing waivers and all that. But you know,

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 4: you're talking about instead of ninety when the practice squad

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: has set sixty nine guys, and it's it's always a

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 4: bummer because there's some that really flash and get excited

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: about their potential. Now there's other great stories that I

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: know we're going to get into when it comes to

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: the fifty three, and those are wonderful, But yeah, it's

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 4: always just kind of a.

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's not a sad day.

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 4: You know, there's still opportunities for these guys to continue

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 4: to grow and get, you know, and realize and reach

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 4: their goals. At the same time, there's some players that

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: did not make the cut that you're like, man, that's

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: that's close. Was that had to be super close and

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: you're hopeful that they can latch on somewhere else. So

31
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: I know that'll probably be the center of this conversation

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 4: today on the pod. I know, we got a lot

33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 4: of questions to get to get to so even though

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: it's an off week as we get ready for Miami

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 4: on the tenth, I think there's still you know, a lot.

36
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 4: It was an exciting training camp, it was an exciting preseason.

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: It was a lot of questions, specifically about the roster.

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: Obviously some Miami questions will sprinkle in. We'll really get

39
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: into Miami next week. But this is like the human

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: side of football here over the last two weeks, you know,

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: the third preseason game, I think everybody wants it to

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: just get over with as quickly as possible. No injuries.

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: But you know, for like you said, money, the back

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: half of the roster. That's their super Bowl. I mean,

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: that's their last chance to make an oppression for either

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 3: the Chargers or the thirty one other teams in the NFL.

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: And a lot of these NFL dreams are over. Now

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: you know, these guys and I can get picked up.

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: You know, maybe they'll get picked up on a practice squad.

50
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: There's obviously a number of guys who we thought were

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: close who will be on the Chargers practice squad inevitably,

52
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: but so many questions related to the fifty three. Let's

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: just dive in. I thought that this was one of

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: the main topics going into to cut down day. This

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: is from Rico the sports Guy. Now, what is your

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: guys thoughts on the Chargers going with five wide receivers

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: and four running backs and what is the potential upside

58
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: of Dotson on this roster. I'll go quickly and let

59
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: you just pick it up money. I thought Dotson earned

60
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: a spot with how he played in the first and

61
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: third game. He gives you some special teams versatility as

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: a kick return or maybe to spell Darius Davis or

63
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: a backup for him, and I thought he earned the job.

64
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: And when you see the one to four I think

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: with Keenan, Mike, Joshua, and Quinton, knowing that Jalen Geiton

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 3: will be back week five. I don't know if it

67
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: made a ton of sense to bring on a six

68
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 3: wide receiver, especially because, hey, you called that third game

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: in San Francisco Santa Clara. They couldn't even get the

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: ball down the field, so you couldn't even really evaluate

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: Doss or High Tower. And my guess is, what are

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: both of those guys would be on the practice squad?

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: Sure, I think I would imagine they'd like both of

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: them on the practice squad. And if I had to guess,

75
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: it's possible that they just maybe didn't show enough that

76
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: that DAWs Or High Tower did not show enough to

77
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: make them a sixth receiver. A lot of it remembers also,

78
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: you know, sort of projecting if we put Dawson High

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: Tower on the practice squad, are they going to get claim?

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: You know, if we put them on waivers, are the

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: gonna get claim? But Dotson on waivers? Is he going

82
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: to get claimed? And my guess is they probably came

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: to the consensus if we put if we cut daw

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: if we cut Dots, and he's getting picked up.

85
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: So say goodbye to him. So I think that's part

86
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: of it. One two.

87
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: You know, even though last year wide receiver was a serious,

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: you know, a position of serious attrition with Keenan and

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: Mike barely planning, it was one one hundred and thirty

90
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 4: eight snaps together all season long, with Jalen Geiten going

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: down with the ACL. Certainly having Michael Bandy play in

92
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: a wild card playoff game is not ideal. So let's

93
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: just shove that aside and say, typically running back is

94
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: a position.

95
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: Of attrition, and it was last year.

96
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: You know, it was you had Austin Eckler missed a

97
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: couple games, you had Joshua Kelly miss pretty healthy chunk

98
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 4: of games. Larry Roundtree was activated for a couple of days,

99
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: for a couple of weeks, I should say. So they

100
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: probably look at that, and so let's protect ourselves. The

101
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 4: running game is super important to Kellen Moore, so let's

102
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: make sure that we've got that position covered. We want

103
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: to marry this running game to our passing game. We

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: know we've got Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and Josh

105
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 4: Palmer and now Quentin Johnson. You mentioned that, so let's

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: just stack that running back room. And remember this is

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: just the initial fifty three. It could change, but to me,

108
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: it was if we keep two quarterbacks, we now have

109
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: a luxury. We now have a number to play with it.

110
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: Maybe we didn't think was going to be there, And

111
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: you put it best, Chris Elijah earned that spot. He

112
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: earned it with week one, He earned it in practice.

113
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 4: He earned it by improving his special teams even the

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: limited number of carries he had in San Francisco, you

115
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: could see that juice. And I'm not saying that that

116
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: Eckler and Joshua Kelly and Spiller don't have it, but

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 4: it looks different. Dotson's juice looks different when he gets

118
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: in that open field, when he finds that crease. There

119
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 4: is something that's different about him, and I think that's

120
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: why they chose to keep him on instead of DAWs

121
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: or Hi Tar And look, that could change, could change

122
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 4: by the time you listen to this podcast. It's possible

123
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: that there's a wide receiver out there that fits exactly

124
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 4: what they were looking for, somebody that can block, somebody

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: that can be a special team's ace, maybe a gunner,

126
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 4: and Dotson won't be on the roster. It'll be he'll

127
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: be on the practice squad. So it's I just don't

128
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: think Doss and High Tower provided Tom Telesco, Brandon Staley

129
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 4: and their staffs with exactly what they were looking for

130
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: in order to make them that sixth wide receiver agreed.

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: Popper broke down the fifty three men roster. I think

132
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: he spoke to Telesco yesterday and said that Dotson earned it.

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: He can catch the wall out of the backfield, pass

134
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: protection and the missing link to that offense other than

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: just the personnel and the injuries. Last year, money was

136
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: the running game. The running game is going to look

137
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: different this year. I'm really excited to see whether it's Kelly,

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: Spiller or Dotson spell Austin throughout the course of this season.

139
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: Chew the clock when you have to. You know, Joshua's run,

140
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: that's seventy five yard run. You know you've you've been

141
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: on Joshua Kelly's bandwagon for a long time, and you know,

142
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: so have I. When he's healthy. Joshua has really put

143
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: himself in a nice position to be that that second

144
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: running back to Austin, and I think Spiller is right

145
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: behind him. And then the potential of dots and so.

146
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: No doubt, I think, And that's ultimately that's what for

147
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 4: people that we're trying to figure out the fifty three

148
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: and who's going to make it and who isn't.

149
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: Ideally why she.

150
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: Is an active on game day, he's he is an

151
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 4: insurance policy, like that's Keelands and or I should say

152
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: kilnd Doss or John Hi Tower. Don't have any targets

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: through fifteen weeks or seventeen, you know, maybe they have

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: a couple they get activated for one week or something like.

155
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: That's the thing to remember is we are talking about

156
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: depth here. How do we feel about the depth of

157
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: the running back room, the wide receiver room, the tight

158
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: end room, the safety room, and on and on, And

159
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: that's sort of what we're we're getting after with these

160
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 4: slots forty eight through fifty three.

161
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 3: Bottom line, Quentin Johnson, right now, your first round pick

162
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: is your wide receiver four. Darius Davis, who was also

163
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: on special teams and then showed you the jet sweep ability,

164
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: the ability to give vertical he's your wide receiver five

165
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: right now with Jalen Guiden on the pup. Hopefully Slater

166
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: to come back week five, so that position looks good money.

167
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: Let's keep on rolling. This is from Ahmed. Why did

168
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: the Chargers not keep Clark? With how injured our d

169
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: line has been. We've talked a lot. I think about

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 3: Scott Matlock and his ability throughout preseason and training camp

171
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: as a six round pick and earning his spot. Getting

172
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: Austin Johnson back. Tito Ebonia is another guy that they

173
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: expect to get back, hopefully Week five. So I think

174
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: the defensive line rotation is pretty much set. I think

175
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 3: we had a pretty good idea of what it was

176
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: going to look like.

177
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: So that's yeah. Look, I think that.

178
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: And Nick Neeman, augmang Bamega and Neeman have solidified themselves

179
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: as not just good, but exceptional special teamers. So you're

180
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: carrying five linebackers, Am and Neeman, Henley, Murray Kendrick. So

181
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: you've got to start working the math here. You've got

182
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: all of that, and then when you look at the

183
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: interior line, Morgan Fox, Sebastian, Joseph Day, Nick Williams, Austin Johnson,

184
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: they're in Matt Locke like they're all in.

185
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: They are.

186
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: So you're talking about one spot and Gerrod Clark and

187
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: Christopher Hinton were probably the two guys that they were

188
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: looking at for that one spot. And I think that's

189
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: sort of what it probably came down to, which one

190
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: And that's a coaches thing, which which one fits best

191
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: with what you want to do, Which one fits with

192
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 4: what you know we think we need. And this it's

193
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: we said this last week. Every year, this happens every year,

194
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, there's an interior lineman that I get

195
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: smitten with. And if it's Braydon Fojoko, if it's Forrest Merril, like,

196
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: it just happens because it's an important position and their

197
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: difference makers, and this team has struggled to stop the run.

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 4: So when you see that flash in the preseason, you're like, Okay,

199
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: well maybe this is a solution. Maybe this is what

200
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 4: we're talking about. But it's important to remember preseason, you're going,

201
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: for the most part, up against opponents twos and threes

202
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 4: and even further down the depth chart. In practice. Every

203
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: day they're going up against some really good players, and

204
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: the coaches have an opportunity to evaluate practice, which we

205
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 4: typically don't. And so that's sort of something to always

206
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 4: keep in mind that we don't know how Hinton performed

207
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: versus Clark in practice and all those reps that we

208
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 4: didn't see, and also just how he fits in perhaps

209
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: a little bit better than as I'm just kind of

210
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 4: pulling up the the measurables. So he is six four

211
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: three ten, He's a much longer, younger player than Clark is,

212
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: so I think it's important to kind of remember that

213
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: as well.

214
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: Let's keep these rolling. This is from Steven Gillard. How

215
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: do you guys feel about Stick being the only quarterback

216
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: on the roster. Is there a quarterback that was cut

217
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: you think would be a better fit as Herbert's backup?

218
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 3: So no, Max Duggan. Max Duggan hopefully will get back

219
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: to the practice squad. I you know, your mind kind

220
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: of wanders a little bit when you see someone like

221
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: Will Greer out there, who I think got picked up

222
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: by the Bengals in their practice squad. The relationship with

223
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: Kellen Moore and nuss Meyer, and I think Nusts had

224
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: him in college too, if I'm not mistaken. So that

225
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: was a name that I saw out there. I'm like, oh,

226
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: that could make sense as somebody to add your quarterback room.

227
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: You know's Easton's preseason I think was a little incomplete.

228
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: Obviously started really well in that that first preseason game,

229
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: had some trouble in Week two, and you know he's

230
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 3: got the wheels. I don't know, what do you think

231
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: about just having two guys in your quarterback room right now?

232
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 4: It was a celebration for me. I have no interest

233
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: in the Chargers carrying a third quarterback and not using

234
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 4: that roster spot on a depth piece that may come

235
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: into play. You get down to your third quarterback on

236
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 4: this team and you're in real trouble. We know how

237
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: important justin Herbert is to what this team wants to

238
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 4: accomplish this year in any year, and that's win a

239
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. And if he's not out there, it's gonna

240
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: be awfully hard to do that.

241
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: So the most.

242
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: Important role for me is not if Herbert goes down,

243
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: can the Chargers still win the Super Bowl? I think

244
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: we know the answer to that. It's gonna be damn

245
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: near impossible. It's gonna be very hard to do that.

246
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 4: So how does the second quarterback? How does the backup

247
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 4: quarterback support the starter? That is priority number one, two, three, four,

248
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 4: and five. And Easton is an incredibly smart individual. Incredibly

249
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: he see things. He sees things like this. Just watch

250
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: when Herbert goes to the sideline and you'll see he

251
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 4: in Easton huddling and going over that Microsoft surface tablet.

252
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: So that's number one too. I do think he showed enough.

253
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: I think there's things that he can do as a

254
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: backup with his athleticism, with his running ability, with Kellen

255
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 4: Morre's creativity that it's not gonna look like it does

256
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 4: with Herbert, but we can get by. We're gonna run

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: a lot of RPOs, we're gonna run a lot of

258
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 4: read option, and we're gonna try to lean on this

259
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: exception what we hope is in exceptional defense, special teams,

260
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: great running backs, and piece this thing together. Look, this

261
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: is gonna come out the wrong way. But whatever, Like,

262
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 4: to me, Chase Daniel was a waste. It was a

263
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: complete waste. If Joe Lombardi's not good enough to be

264
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: a coach and he needs a quarterback to somehow be

265
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: an intermediary between he and Justin Herbert, and every time

266
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: Chase gets on the field, you're like, what are we doing?

267
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 4: Like to me, that's get it. It's something that that coach.

268
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 4: Some coaches that's what they want. They want their backup

269
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 4: quarterback to be an extension of them. And I got

270
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: nothing against Chase. Guy made forty million bucks doing it.

271
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: Good for him, that's fine. But to me, no, like

272
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: we saw it in that one series, the Chase went in,

273
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: it was an abject failure. Was a complete disaster when

274
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: he had to go out there, you know, and I

275
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 4: just assumed they were gonna run it into the center

276
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: of the line a few times. Instead, Lombardi looked like

277
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: you wanted to flex a little bit and be like, oh,

278
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: you want to come at me for having Chase watch this?

279
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: The guy damn near through two interceptions and it was

280
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: just a disaster. So to me, yeah, Easton's I saw

281
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: some people asking about McCoy and I'm like, you don't

282
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: need a thirty seven year old guy out there in

283
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: your quarterback room.

284
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Keep Easton. He's plenty good. He's plenty good. He knows

285
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: this system.

286
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: Herbert loves him, very similar to Philip with Kellen Clemens. Yeah,

287
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: Phillip's gonna play. Phillip's gonna play every snap, and Kellen

288
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: is a smart quarterback, a great backup, someone who Philip

289
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: has in place trust in, and every time he comes

290
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 4: to that sideline, he wants to hear what Kellen saw

291
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 4: and maybe what he might have missed, and those two

292
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: work together really well. And so that's what I feel

293
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: like Herbert has with Easton Stick right now. And the

294
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: bonus is I would be confident that he could go

295
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 4: out there and win a quarter, that he could go

296
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: out there and win a week. If need be anything

297
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 4: more than that, you're fooling yourself.

298
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: So the number one priority, like you said, is the

299
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: relationship between QB one of the backup and Easton. Justin

300
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: are super tight and Easton super smart. And keep in

301
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: mind with the preseason performances, Easton is throwing to second, third,

302
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: and fourth stringers as well. Put Easton Stick behind that

303
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: offensive line right with Keenan and Mike on the outside

304
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: and Austin in the backfield and Palmer and you know,

305
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: Rashaun Slater blocking for you. It's gonna look different too.

306
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: I think the second thing with a backup quarterback, You're right,

307
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: if Justin has to miss like an extended period of time,

308
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: we know what that is.

309
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: But what are we doing?

310
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: But Ken Easton Stick, when you a month, can he

311
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: get you to two and two in a month? Can

312
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: he keep you afloat? If need be, And I think

313
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: the answer to that is yes, with Kellen Moore calling

314
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: the plays and with this personnel. Just keep in mind,

315
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: I think when we watch preseason and it looks ugly

316
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: like it looked ugly in Week two and Week three.

317
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: But also Easton didn't have Mike Williams or Keenan Allen

318
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: or all these receivers in that offensive line blocking for

319
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: the running game. So I do think that Easton deserves

320
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: an opportunity. You know, you always look at like different connections.

321
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: That's why I thought, hey, maybe Will Greer made sense

322
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: to bring in if they wanted to keep three and

323
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 3: perhaps let dug In go find something else. But I say,

324
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 3: you go with it, and we just you ride with

325
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert and expect that he's gonna play every snap

326
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: seventeen games.

327
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want I'm sorry, Chris. I didn't mean

328
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 4: to be distracted there, but I had to go back

329
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: and watch those two throws against San Francisco from Jase

330
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: Daniel and just say.

331
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: What what are we doing? Like? What are we doing?

332
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: So sorry?

333
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: I just wanted to make sure not not because if

334
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 4: I'm going to be a jerk and a little snarky

335
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 4: like that I just wanted to make sure that my

336
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: memory from last year served correct, And yes, I'm correct

337
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 4: in my assessment there. So ultimately, like if you ask,

338
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: if you ask a general manager, like you said, can

339
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: they can he go to and two if he's got

340
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 4: to play for a month, Basically what they want from

341
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 4: a performance standpoint, from their backup is ultimately, can you

342
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 4: win us a series? Like if something happens, if he

343
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 4: bangs his thumb, if something weird, helmet comes off, he

344
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: gets you know, they want to check him out. They

345
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: want to you know, the independent you know, evaluator wants

346
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 4: to check him out, concussion protocol kind of thing, and

347
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 4: he's going to get cleared. We know he's five, Like

348
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 4: can you can you win those snaps?

349
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: For us?

350
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 4: That's ultimately what they want and for them, the way

351
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 4: they process it is worst case scenario is we need

352
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: you for a week? Can you win a week? And

353
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: that's and that's why carrying three has always just been

354
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: weird to me. I've never agreed that it's something you

355
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 4: should do when you have a stud quarterback. So, just

356
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: to make a long answer longer, yeah, I'm totally fine

357
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: with them keeping one and I am all about Easton

358
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: Stick as Justin's backup.

359
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep this rolling here, let's see David

360
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: Thompson likelihood of AJ Finley actually being on the fifty

361
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: three when the season starts. I don't know if this

362
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: was a mild surprise to some people that AJ Finley

363
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 3: made the fifty three. You brought up a good point

364
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: about Hey, you know, Tom, in the department, they're always

365
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: scouring the other thirty one teams to see who gets cut,

366
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: who makes a practice squad. So as we tape this,

367
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: you know, I think AJ Finley earned his spot, Tom

368
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: said so via Poppers article. But you never know, like

369
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: at the end of this week, there may be another

370
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: safety or another defensive lineman or maybe an offensive lineman

371
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: that they like and takes the spot of one of

372
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: these guys who was on the bubble who made the

373
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: fifty three.

374
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: So the reason why it was surprising is it just

375
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 4: appeared as though Mark Webb had outplayed him. And we

376
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 4: know how much the coaching staff likes Mark Webb and

377
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 4: his versatility, and that that if you were going to

378
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 4: keep five safeties that he would end up being. We

379
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 4: knew Raheem Lane was going to make it because his

380
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: special teams has been so exceptional and he's actually played

381
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 4: all right when preston to rotational duty. But so that's

382
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 4: where I think the surprise element came in. So at

383
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: the same time, if I had to guess, you know,

384
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 4: Mark got hurt in the preseason again, you know, and

385
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 4: that's just unfortunately for web been the story of his

386
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: career is that he has really struggled to stay healthy.

387
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: And maybe that's why he's better parked on the practice

388
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: squad and you can use him for a week, and

389
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 4: you can use him for maybe two weeks if you

390
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: have to, but you don't have to put him on

391
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: the fifty three and try to count on him for seventeen.

392
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 4: I wonder how much of it has to do with

393
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: low and whether or not a Loie Gilman's not quite

394
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 4: fully one hundred percent, and they wanted to have a

395
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 4: little bit more depth at that position. If if there's

396
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 4: going to be an issue with those top you know,

397
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: it's three safeties that we're really talking about, it's low

398
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: it's J T.

399
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: Woods and Darwin obviously.

400
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: And so I wonder how much of that because of

401
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 4: the way the training camp and preseason ended for Lowie

402
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 4: Gilman comes into play and why they kept that extra position.

403
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 4: But we all know Brandon Staley likes defensive backs for

404
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 4: special teamers. They are his favorite special teamers. It's a

405
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: big reason why they took Dean Leonard and why they

406
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 4: took us here late in the draft last year. And

407
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: he mentioned that. I just that always stuck with me

408
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: when he when he his post draft presser, he talked about,

409
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 4: we're always going to take swings on defensive backs toward

410
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 4: the back end of the drafts or at some point

411
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 4: because of how valuable they are on special teams.

412
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: And we saw that last year.

413
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: They won them a game in overtime, did the combo

414
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: of Dean and Joss here against Denver. So to me,

415
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 4: that's the other part of it is Finley's got a

416
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 4: nose for the ball. We know that from his time

417
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: at Ole Miss had some coverage issues, had a little

418
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 4: bit of run support issues, but that's all stuff the

419
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 4: coaches can work out. And you certainly is a heck

420
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 4: of a high school football player and had those flashes

421
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: at Ole Miss, that's for sure.

422
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: So you're betting on the upside.

423
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: It's a little bit more of the ceiling versus the

424
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: floor and Finley versus Web. But that's another one. I'd

425
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: be really surprised that I don't anticipate him Dean on

426
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: the fifty three for all seventeen or eighteen weeks, including

427
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: the buy of the regular season.

428
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: The quarter situation. I think it's a testament to how

429
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: they drafted, with Jasir and Dean both making the team

430
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: in their second year. It's one thing to draft a

431
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: guy and then they contribute in the first year, But

432
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 3: to have a six and seventh round pick make the

433
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: team in their second year continuing to develop, I think

434
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: it's a good thing. Really, no surprises from the quarnerback standpoint.

435
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: Now money, this is from om run. What is the

436
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: most important difference you noticed in Kellen Moore's offense. I

437
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 3: felt it was the ability to adjust the game plan

438
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 3: to the player and the opponent. What do you think,

439
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: I'll just say the running game, because we haven't seen

440
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 3: a Kellen Moore offense week one when it actually counts,

441
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 3: but just the flashes of the running game. We talked

442
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 3: to Isaiah Spiller about the downhill runs, runs that suit

443
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: him best. We saw Joshua have success, dots that have success.

444
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: That was basically I think the missing link to last

445
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: year is not having a running game to rely upon

446
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: in the second half of games outside Austin Eckler and

447
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 3: I think that's going to change.

448
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: One hundred percent agree. Running game looked much better. DJ

449
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 4: and Dan Fouts said it in the game during the game,

450
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: how surprised they were that everything was north south and

451
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, here comes a stretch for

452
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 4: seventeen yards. So sure enough, he's not pulling out everything.

453
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 4: And to me, you haven't seen the biggest impact of

454
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: Kellen Moore. Now what perhaps if you're if you're a

455
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 4: weirdo and you consume everything, then you read the two articles,

456
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 4: one from Peter King and one from Lindsay Theory about

457
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: this whole pace in space and the meetings that they

458
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 4: had with Steve Kerr and the idea that Justin Herbert

459
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: is like Steph Curry and can we apply principles of

460
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 4: what created a dynasty up in San Francisco and Oakland

461
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: down here in Los Angeles. And much of that they

462
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 4: talked about was tempo, and that's something that we've talked about.

463
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 4: When Kellen was hired. That was always impressive about Dallas

464
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: as you did not know when they were going to

465
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 4: snap the ball, they did not always wait until three

466
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 4: seconds on the play clock, or when the play clock

467
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 4: was at zero. Sometimes they're snapping the ball at twenty

468
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 4: two seconds. Sometimes they're running with crazy tempo. Sometimes they'll

469
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 4: let it run all the way down to zero, so

470
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 4: you can't time your get off. But I think with

471
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: this roster, just the quotes, the way I interpret the

472
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 4: quotes from Kellen Moore in those interviews and from Brandon

473
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 4: Staley in those long form pieces from Peter and Lindsay,

474
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 4: sounds like this thing is gonna move, like it's really

475
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: gonna move, and they do not. They're gonna hit the

476
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: gas and it's gonna stay there. And that that our

477
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: PM line is gonna be on the red for stretches

478
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 4: of games because they think everybody. They've got a roster

479
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: full of very intelligent players and they can put a

480
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 4: lot on them. And they're talking about justin with a

481
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 4: couple of check with me's with maybe four or five plays,

482
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: you don't have to huddle. You got you know, choice

483
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: routes all over the place for Eckler, for Keenan, for Mike,

484
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: they're all it is. We talk about the Patriots defense

485
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: being an Amoba defense. To me, it's it's gonna be tempo,

486
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 4: it's gonna be Amiba, it's gonna be constantly changing, and

487
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: it's gonna keep That's the goal is to keep defenses

488
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: on their heels and take advantage of arguably the most

489
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: physically gifted quarterback in the league, combining with a guy

490
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 4: that won the academic Heisman and can process as quickly

491
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: as some of the best, and see if in fact

492
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: this you know, Justin Herbert can end up being the

493
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 4: best quarterback in the league by the time this season

494
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: is over.

495
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: He just look at the personnel entering a week well,

496
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 3: and at the wide receiver position specifically, and just what

497
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: an upgrade it is with Palmer a year wiser and

498
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: Quintin Johnson and Darius Davis, and we know about Keenan

499
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: to Mike. This next question is about the tight ends

500
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: from Bull Moose. With the richest free agency tight end

501
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: blocking class and tight end draft class in recent memory,

502
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: the Chargers chose to do nothing to upgrade the position

503
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: when it's really needed after last year? Why And it's

504
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 3: the crying emoji Listen, Gerald Everett, I think went healthy

505
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: and in the position that he's going to be in

506
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: not having to be the top two or three target.

507
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: That's gonna look different. I thought stone Smart was excellent

508
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: during the preseason and he made the team because of

509
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: his ability to came. He sprung a great block for

510
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: Joshua Kelly after the offensive line just from all of

511
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: the save defensive line. Uh. He also he also had

512
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 3: a nice block for Easton in the in the week

513
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: before Easton getting in the end zone. So I wouldn't

514
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: be as concerned about the blocking tight end thing right now.

515
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: I think that why there was so much concern last

516
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: year money is because Rashaun Slater went out. So they're like, Okay,

517
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: well we're gonna have to We're gonna have to protect

518
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 3: Justin and and try to form some semblance of a

519
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: running game without our all pro left tackle. Uh McKitty

520
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: is gonna have to be that that blocking tight end.

521
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: Hopefully stone Smart can contribute to that. But I think

522
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: it may be a little overblown based on the personnel

523
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: that's coming back healthy across the offensive line.

524
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: So first, the name of the person that asked the

525
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: question or the is what.

526
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: Bull moose at four five two?

527
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: Bull moose like b U L. L. Moose.

528
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 4: Yep, So it reminds me I have to acknowledge this

529
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: just in case. That's why his name is bull Moose.

530
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: When I was in high school college, when I was

531
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 4: twenty one, we used to play a game called bull

532
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 4: Moose and you would hold your right hand up and

533
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 4: they would say, hold your right hand up, make a fist,

534
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: Say bull moose, Say bull moose. All right, now you're in.

535
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: You can no longer drink with your right hand, and

536
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 4: you had to drink with your left hand. And if

537
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 4: anybody caught you taking a drink with your right hand,

538
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 4: they would say bull moose and you'd have to finish

539
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 4: whatever was in your cup. And it takes a while.

540
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 4: It would take a couple parties to kind of settle

541
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 4: in and you are just dusting glasses because you're right

542
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: handed for the most part. And now to this day,

543
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: here I am some thirty plus years later, and I

544
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 4: still drink with my left hand exclusively from you know,

545
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: when I was like fifteen, sixteen years old when I

546
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 4: got initiated to the bull Moose clan.

547
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: So thank you bull Moose forgiving me that beautiful money.

548
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask Bull Moose to

549
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: reply and confirm with that is why.

550
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: You say is your name Bull Moose? Because of the

551
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: drinking games.

552
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 3: This is a Chargers Dieharden busking magician.

553
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 4: So okay, let's find out as if Bull Moose is

554
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 4: related to the drinking game. In terms of the tight end,

555
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: I'll i'll disagree with you a little bit, Chris. I

556
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: do think they need a blocking tight end. I am

557
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 4: a little nervous about the blocking. I think we wanted

558
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 4: to see more from Trey. I know we hear that

559
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 4: Donald's getting better. I just haven't quite seen it. Gerald

560
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 4: Everett's not. He's just not gonna block. That's not what

561
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: he does. But he's exceptional at beating man coverage as

562
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 4: a tight end.

563
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: He just does.

564
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 4: He wins, and that's so important on third downs. I

565
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: don't think Gerald gets nearly the credit he deserves for

566
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 4: what he's able to do at that position.

567
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: He is so good.

568
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 4: If if you guard him with a single if you're

569
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 4: just man up single defender, he's gonna beat him. He's

570
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 4: gonna be open, and I think that is so valuable.

571
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 4: So let's not pretend like they don't have assets in

572
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 4: that tight end room. I'll second and echo exactly what

573
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: you said about Stone Smart. I knew he was gonna

574
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: make the team. I had no doubt in my mind

575
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: that he was gonna make the team. He is for

576
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: someone that played Remember this is someone that played quarterback

577
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: at Riverside City, won the MVP, won the championship, tried

578
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 4: to play quarterback at an FCS, go just didn't happen.

579
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: Converts to wide receiver, then all of a sudden becomes

580
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 4: a tight end. This is someone that's played tight end

581
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 4: for like two three years. He's just starting to figure

582
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 4: it out, and you just see how quickly it's coming

583
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: to him. He's an incredible athlete. He makes some ridiculous

584
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: catches and the thing that jumped out you mentioned the blocks.

585
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: The blocking was great in the San Francisco game. He

586
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 4: had a couple key ones. But more than that, what

587
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: I've seen and I think is important for his development

588
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: is the contact. He absorbs crazy shots like that guy

589
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 4: is getting blown up and that ball is not coming out.

590
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 4: He holds on to it. And that's what's gonna happen.

591
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 4: As a tight end. You're in the middle of the field,

592
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 4: You're gonna take some shots. Can you secure the football?

593
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: And pick up first down. So to me, Stone Smart,

594
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 4: he's he's the number two to me like Everett's one.

595
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: Stone Smart is. From what I've seen and just the development,

596
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: I feel like he is the second best tight end

597
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: on this roster and I'm looking forward to big things

598
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 4: from him. If there was a big tight end out

599
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: there that that would be a reliable tight end, not

600
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: just a block, but someone that can catch a few

601
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 4: passes as well, I'd be very surprised if the Chargers

602
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 4: didn't put in a claim and maybe swap out one

603
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 4: of those guys for that. They've got so many pass

604
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 4: catching weapons, they're so stacked in pass catchers. I do

605
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: think they need a little bit more of a thumper,

606
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: someone that can really clean clean somebody out.

607
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: Just the idea of putting a.

608
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 4: Badass blocking tight end next to, you know, next to

609
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: Slater who's got Zion on the inside, and Lindsley there

610
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 4: and just those four bodies coming at you as a wall,

611
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 4: like that's exciting to me. Or someone that's pulling and

612
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 4: you know, right before the snap, here's some big old

613
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 4: tight end in motion running towards Slater and now he's

614
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 4: cleaning somebody out. That's trying to creep up on the

615
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. I do think I think that that

616
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 4: they're missing that, just plain and simple. It has not

617
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: quite developed for any of you know, Donald Parhum, Trey McKitty,

618
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: have not developed that skill at an NFL level.

619
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: We go to one road game a year. We're going

620
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: to Lambau in November. As a bucket list. Any tips.

621
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: Did you have a bar? Did you have a bar

622
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: for Chad?

623
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 4: I wish I could remember the name of it. It's

624
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: a giant bar though you can't miss it. It's got

625
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 4: an outdoor patio. It's got an outdoor like area, not

626
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: a patio, it's a gigantic it's it's encircled by kind

627
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 4: of like one of those wooden plank fences, you.

628
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: Know what stopped which He's bringing four little kids and

629
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: a wife, so maybe maybe it's not the best place

630
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: for Chad to take.

631
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: The care we go.

632
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I stayed. I can't remember where I stayed. It was,

633
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 4: you know, kind of one of those family friendly breakfast

634
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: is free indoor pool, whole place smells like chlorine, kind

635
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: of joint whatever it was. I can't remember the name

636
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 4: of it now, But like I said, I called games

637
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 4: in Green Bay probably five six times when I was

638
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 4: doing national radio, and you can't beat it, just the

639
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 4: people are the best. Get there early, walk around. I've

640
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: talked about it. Watching people play Ultimate on the lawn

641
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: of a funeral home and in an ACDC cover band

642
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 4: on the front porch of a Catholic church. You just

643
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 4: you can't beat that, like it's hilarious. And so get

644
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 4: there early. Make sure and you know, by the way,

645
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 4: make sure you get the Lambeau early because they obviously

646
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: have the museum in there, so you want to make

647
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: sure you get there and take advantage of that as well.

648
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: You know, don't get there too close to the game.

649
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 4: Get there a couple hours early so you can really

650
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 4: a walk the whole neighborhoods, and b make sure you

651
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 4: get into Lambeau and check out the museum and everything there.

652
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: Which player are you each most upset about missing the

653
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 3: initial fifty three money? What do you think?

654
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 4: So let's see as I put together what I think

655
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: is going to be the practice squad.

656
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 3: So how about the Zach Bailey brendan heimis I.

657
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: Was surprising to me that's I thought Bailey outplayed him

658
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,719
Speaker 4: in the in the preseason. I thought Bailey had some

659
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 4: really good snaps. He's I can't imagine he doesn't get

660
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 4: claimed offensive lineman or it's such a premium at the

661
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 4: same time we say it, you know, you have Foster

662
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 4: Surrel that made it as the tackle, and you've got

663
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 4: positional versatility with McFadden Himus because he has the center flexibility,

664
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 4: I guess to have a third string center out there,

665
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 4: and he did play tackle at Nebraska, so I was surprised.

666
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 4: But again, you're talking about the ninth offensive lineman, So

667
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: hopefully it doesn't come to that. What I think, if

668
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: I had to pick one, it would probably Yeah, it'd

669
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 4: probably be it probably be Gerrod Clark. I just like

670
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: I really thought, again, I thought he had a lot

671
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 4: of those hockey assists, as.

672
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: I like to call him.

673
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 4: He's not getting the he's not getting credit necessarily for

674
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: the tackle or for the sack, but it's it's his

675
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 4: push and his collapsing the pocket that led to a

676
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 4: Koye sack, that led to Henley's sack that led to

677
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 4: toy Polotu sack. He was a big part of those

678
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 4: and for him to be a rookie to have, you know,

679
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 4: he's listed six three three thirty. I've joked about it.

680
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 4: He's three sixty. He's three fifty three sixty, and to

681
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 4: be able to move the way he does is impressive.

682
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 4: So that's one that that I thought maybe had a

683
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 4: shot to make it. I'm not upset about any of

684
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 4: these guys not making it. I thought Keelan DAWs had

685
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 4: a great training camp. He's got super sure hands, which

686
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 4: you love to see. You know, guy's gonna catch it

687
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: if you throw it in his direction. Terrell Bidam had

688
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 4: a really nice camp. The receiver out of sc to me,

689
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 4: the one name that I really wanted to make it

690
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 4: and we made it was no secret here, but it

691
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: was Elijah Dotson. I wanted to see him make it.

692
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 4: I wanted to see him rewarded for what was a

693
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: great camp. Not to mention it was somebody that we

694
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 4: kind of had tabbed early on as being excited about

695
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 4: so selfishly confirmation bias. Like to see him make it,

696
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: But I thought he was the one wild card of

697
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 4: all of them that really deserved it. So for me,

698
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 4: I'm super stoked on how the fifty three turned out.

699
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 3: Money two more This is from Karris Bowling. What are

700
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: your thoughts on how the Chargers defense can limit the Dolphins.

701
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 3: We're going to really dig into this next week, but

702
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: I would say, just fire up Sunday Night football last

703
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 3: year and that would be the blueprint.

704
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be similar. Keep him in front of you.

705
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 4: You know, you had Josh here in the slot on

706
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: Wattle almost that whole game, and just jam him, disrupt

707
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 4: the timing, don't allow don't you know they They certainly

708
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 4: took Tua out of his comfort zone. And remember they

709
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 4: did it without Joey Bosa. So in this game, you're

710
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: gonna have Joey Bosa out there along with Khalil Mack.

711
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 4: It's I think it will look very similar to what

712
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 4: we saw last year, and that is you just can't

713
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 4: let him get behind you. It'll be a you're gonna

714
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 4: have to beat us with twelve play drives to score.

715
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: You know.

716
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 4: The only it was a fluke play that Tyreek Hills

717
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 4: scored on. Otherwise the offense had nothing going in that game.

718
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 4: You know, it was the fumble that was like a

719
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 4: fumble Rooski that he was able to just pull out

720
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 4: of the pile when no one was paying attention and

721
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 4: took all the way. But other than that, they did

722
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 4: a great job of keeping their linebackers a little bit

723
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 4: deeper and and just pressing guys on the line saying,

724
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: we're gonna knock off your rhythm and here's our second

725
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 4: wave of defense, and then we're gonna have another wave

726
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 4: of defense behind that, you know, our two shells or

727
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 4: our two our shell to safety, two shells safety high.

728
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 4: You know, that keeps another level of security in front

729
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: of him. And it worked exceptionally, worked to a t.

730
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 4: So I think it'll be very similar. Now. The question

731
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 4: will be does Mike McDaniel instead of trying to instead

732
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 4: of taking the cheese, which the charge has been very

733
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 4: fortunate in the past where you face teams that have

734
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 4: exceptional running games and for the coordinators that can't help themselves,

735
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 4: they just it's weird. They don't understand that you're going

736
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 4: to get credit for just running the ball. They're going

737
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 4: to say, hey, way to go. I think it was

738
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: Marty morning Wegg in Baltimore, if I remember right, I

739
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 4: think he was the OC when he you know, you

740
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 4: had I can't remember if it was God. I think

741
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 4: it was Gus Edwards at that point, and Lamar Jackson

742
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 4: and he comes out throwing the football all over the

743
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: place in that wild card game and it's like, is

744
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 4: he really going to do this? And it held through

745
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 4: like the whole game, and they just were trying to

746
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 4: show that Lamar Jackson can throw the football and we're

747
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 4: not just a running team. And that happened last year

748
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: in Miami, like they were running the football really well.

749
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel was like, no, we're gonna throw it all

750
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 4: over the yard and thank you appreciate it.

751
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 3: So I think it was a shocking part of that game.

752
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: Money did did? Did they win? Run? Because the Chargers

753
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 3: run defense was vulnerable too, and I thought that that

754
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 3: would be a way to get going on the road, right,

755
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 3: run the football.

756
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think the I think the Miami offense

757
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: will look different this year than it did last year.

758
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: They're gonna try to attack with the run, but it's

759
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 4: gonna just the Chargers run defense is gonna be so

760
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 4: different because Joey's out there and because you do have

761
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 4: depth now on that interior defensive line. It looks like

762
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 4: Austin Johnson's gonna be ready to play. So you're gonna

763
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 4: have your starting front four of Bash and Johnson and

764
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 4: Bosa and Mack and behind him. Now you're gonna have

765
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 4: Eric Hendricks, You're gonna have throwing up on that line up.

766
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be it's gonna look different, is what

767
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 4: I should say that. I think Brandon Staley's scheme is

768
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: the same, but Mike mc daniels probably gonna run the

769
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: ball a lot more then.

770
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 3: The other wrinkle to that is Vic Fangio is a

771
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator. What does he have for Justin and killing.

772
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 4: He's always got something, always got something, So he's got something.

773
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 4: Some of the best in the business.

774
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: So you know, I think we'll end on this one.

775
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 3: This is an appropriate question to end on money from

776
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 3: a rich I think it's Rich Mollard. What do the

777
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: Chargers need to accomplish to qualify it as a successful season.

778
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 3: It's a good question.

779
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been asked this a lot and all the

780
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 4: interviews I've been doing leading up to the season, and

781
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 4: to me, look, Brandon Staley's not gonna want to hear it,

782
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: Norrith Tom t LESCo. But just the way they work

783
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 4: to their money this offseason, they expect to win the

784
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, or at least they expect to be incredibly

785
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 4: competitive in the playoffs, the playoffs or a crapshoot, you

786
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 4: just you gotta punch your ticket to the tournament. And

787
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: once you get in, you don't want to be embarrassed.

788
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 4: You want to play a tight game against a very

789
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 4: good team, give it your best and hopefully you win.

790
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 4: Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. That's to me as

791
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 4: a successful season. If you're in the tournament and if

792
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 4: you're playing an exceptional whatever team you face is going

793
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 4: to be really good, and if you you know, win

794
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 4: or lose, you play your best football. And sometimes you

795
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 4: just got to tip your cap to the other team

796
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 4: because they had a better day than you. But the

797
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 4: way the Spanos has moved money around and they didn't

798
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: cut anybody when we thought they were gonna cut Keenan Allen,

799
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 4: they might have to cut Khalil Mack that they might

800
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: you know that Mike Williams might get traded. Like think

801
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 4: of all the speculation we had prior to the summer

802
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 4: because we knew Justin Herbert was going to be getting

803
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 4: a quarter of a billion dollars and we're like, well,

804
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to remake this roster. There's gonna have

805
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 4: to be some sacrifice. And it's probably gonna be Keenan Allen. No,

806
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 4: they push that money to the next year, which signals

807
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 4: we think we can win this year. We're willing to

808
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 4: take one more crack at it. We've shoved all this Bosa,

809
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 4: Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, tens of millions of dollars into

810
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 4: next year when we'll have to pay that bill. But

811
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 4: for this year, we're keeping them together and we're going

812
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 4: to make a run at this. So it's it's the

813
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 4: whole thing, is what they're thinking to me. I measure

814
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 4: success by winning the division, or at least winning a

815
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 4: bus bunch of games in a very competitive division that

816
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 4: you end up maybe getting the number one wild card

817
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 4: because you're playing in the toughest division or have one

818
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 4: of the toughest teams in your division, that kind of thing,

819
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: and then acquitting yourself exceptionally in the postseason, win or lose.

820
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 3: I think a successful season would be to finally dethrone

821
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 3: the Chiefs in the AFC West because you got all

822
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 3: the guys to do it. You've been so close, and

823
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 3: at least getting to the divisional round or the AFC

824
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 3: Championship game. You look at this conference money, and we

825
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 3: talk about all the franchise quarterbacks. I think the Pittsburgh

826
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: Steelers in the New England Patriots going to make the

827
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 3: playoffs this year and they don't have the quarterbacks that

828
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 3: we're talking about. So do the math, you know, Josh Allen,

829
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes,

830
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert. Did I say Aaron Rodgers TUA. You know

831
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: that Dolphins team is expecting to make the puffs. It's

832
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 3: been a lot of disappointed teams in the ANFC this year.

833
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: Sean Payton and Russell Wilson think they're going to do it.

834
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: You know who knows what the Raiders are with Jimmy

835
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 3: Jimmy g wins games. I don't think the Raiders have

836
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 3: a great roster right now compared to the rest of

837
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: the AFC, But Jimmy g wins games.

838
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 4: I'll say that, like I hear that a lot, And

839
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 4: I say, Jimmy g wins games with the best supporting

840
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 4: roster in the league. Like, let's not forget that roster

841
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 4: without the quarterback is probably the best roster in the league.

842
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 4: When you're talking about offensive line receivers, running backs, defensive

843
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: line coach. So I know that Jimmy won with Kyle Shanahan,

844
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 4: but so did Rock Party, mister irrelevant, And if you

845
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 4: go back and watch the Rock Party film, it's okay,

846
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 4: it's it's okay, it's it's not what everybody's making it

847
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 4: out to be. So I don't have a lot of

848
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 4: faith in the Raiders, right, It's like, yeah, I don't

849
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 4: have it, but but I think everybody else, Yeah, everybody else.

850
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill, Trevor Lawrence.

851
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 4: You know, if it's a rough schedule, it's a rough Yeah,

852
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 4: it's not going to be a really rough schedule.

853
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: If you get to the divisional round in the AFC,

854
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 3: I think that's a heck of an accomplishment and something

855
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 3: to build on. Basically, you don't want to go backwards, right,

856
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: nine and eight stalies first year, ten and seven, get

857
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 3: to the playoffs a second. This needs to be an

858
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: AFC West Crown and or get to the divisional round

859
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 3: and make your presence felt in the AFC.

860
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 4: So, Chris, here's I just opened up my Twitter because

861
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 4: I just got peppered and I'm sure you saw it too,

862
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 4: with a handful of these. So let's see if we

863
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 4: can just clean them out real quick. Where's this one?

864
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: What positional group do you think could take the next

865
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 4: step and becoming elite? I'll answer these quickly. Linebacker. To me,

866
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 4: it's it's no question Eric Hendrick is going to have

867
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 4: an impact. I'm everything I hear from all the coaches

868
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 4: is that Canine is ready to take a big step,

869
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 4: and we know Dana Henley's going to be exceptional. So

870
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 4: to me, it's it's not even close. Position group needs

871
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 4: more depth. I think we talked about that already. You know,

872
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 4: maybe a blocking tight end would be nice. What type

873
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: of season is stay need to keep his job?

874
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: Success?

875
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 4: I thought I thought Brandon Staley's taken some incoming that

876
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 4: I don't think is warranted considering the injuries from last year,

877
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 4: in the fact they won ten games. Team was completely

878
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 4: destroyed by injuries, and he was able to win ten

879
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: games and be the number one Wild Cards. So the

880
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 4: idea that that he's on this crazy gauntlet run in

881
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 4: order to keep his job, I don't quite think is

882
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 4: is accurate. When a playoff game or more blah blah blah.

883
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 4: That's Zach Bailey. He was the best O line player

884
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 4: this offseason. Eh, let's not forget Zion and Jamari were

885
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 4: out there. So but at the same time, Handan I

886
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 4: would say, again, you're talking about the ninth alignement. Hopefully

887
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: you don't have to to see him at all. That's

888
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: the idea is your backup you know you have you

889
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 4: have Slyers your backup tackle, and then someone else comes

890
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 4: in to play guard, which McFadden I thought played very well.

891
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 4: I'm I have I have faith in McFadden as that

892
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 4: player that can potentially come in. So I would say,

893
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 4: you know that's that's that's all right by me. I

894
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 4: want you want to freak out over Himus versus Bailey, whatever,

895
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 4: that's do it. I thought Bailey was better too, but

896
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 4: it's not going to freak out over it.

897
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 3: And money, you know, things move quick. Schefter just tweeted

898
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 3: this Chargers claim. Linebacker Tanner muse on waivers from the Steelers.

899
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 3: This was a third round pick of the Raiders a

900
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: few years back, played with the Seahawks Steelers for camp

901
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 3: and now he's gonna be a Charger.

902
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 4: So uh yeah, that's the Chargers put into claim, which

903
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 4: means someone's out. You can't you can't make a claim

904
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 4: and then put that player on your practice squad that's

905
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 4: got to be on your active roster. And Muse comes

906
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 4: in as far and Albert Brier just posted all the

907
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 4: waiver claims and none of the Chargers players were claimed,

908
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 4: which means good news for now. They they'll they'll get

909
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 4: all those Zach Bailey'll make it to the practice squad.

910
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 4: Going back to that conversation we just had a second ago.

911
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: Both receivers, Keelan Dass, high Tower, all the things that

912
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 4: you know, J Clark, the players that were asked about

913
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 4: how could this guy not make it? Well, they all

914
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 4: made it. They're they're gonna be on the practice squad

915
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 4: and likely AJ Finley would be my guess we'll join

916
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 4: them in place of Tanner Muse.

917
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 3: So there you go. We went about an hour talking

918
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 3: about the fifty three men roster getting ready for week one.

919
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 3: I can't wait. Yeah, year seven of Chargers Weekly and

920
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 3: it hasn't been better the last couple of years having

921
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 3: money a part of this. So I can't wait for

922
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 3: another season with you man Dolphins on deck.

923
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,080
