I'm 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: Haley Ellwood and on behalf of Chris Harry and all 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: of us here at the Los Angeles Chargers. We just 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: wanted to start out by saying thank you to all 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: of those frontline workers for all that they are doing 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: and all the sacrifices that they are making during this 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: time to keep us and all of our communities safe 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: and functioning. And with that being said, you just watch 10 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: that video. It's so emotional, it's so touching. And as 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: you saw, some of those frontline workers helped us announce 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: our schedule and that's why we're here. That is why 13 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: we are coming to you live right now to chat 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: all things that are on the horizon for the Chargers 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: this season, and also the fact that this is the 16 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: inaugural season for the Bolts at SOFI Stadium. So, Chris, 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw to you. We got the schedule, We've 18 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: had a little time to we got it to check 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: it out, look it over, sort of what are your thoughts? Well, 20 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: let me just echo what you said. Video gives you chills, 21 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: and in order to fully enjoy football, we gotta take 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: care of each other. We gotta take care of our 23 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: friends and family, and we got to take care of 24 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: our health and our frontline workers. Bravo to you guys, 25 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: And I couldn't think of better people to introduce our 26 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: schedule and Hally, for me, it's a good looking schedule, Okay. 27 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: I look for a few things when you look at 28 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: a sixteen game schedule. Where's the buy the buys right 29 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: in the middle of the year and the team is 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: not on the road for more than two weeks at 31 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: a time, So I think that's great. But the number 32 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: one thing I look for, especially twenty twenty, is what 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: is the home opener at Sofi Stadium? Right it's against 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl champions in Week two, 35 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: and what would be a better win Sofi Stadium against 36 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: Skanfay Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and company. That's what I'm looking for, 37 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: and I'm excited to kick it off against an AFC 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: West Phone absolutely. I then kind of go to primetime 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: games where the Bolt's going to be playing in primetime, 40 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: and the first opportunity is Week five in New Orleans 41 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: against the Saints on Monday Night football, and then there's 42 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of weight there. But then we head 43 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: out to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders in 44 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: Week fifteen, which I believe is the final Thursday game 45 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty NFL season. So it's always kind 46 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: of cool, you know, this team gets to show off 47 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: those sweet new uniforms in primetime. The whole country is 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: going to be checking those out. And there are also 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: some kind of quirks with this schedule. I mean, only 50 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: one home game in the entire month of October, that 51 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: is Week six against the Jets. But otherwise it's a 52 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: pretty normal, if you will, sort of schedule, like you said, 53 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: to never have more than two road games back to 54 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: back at the time. That's pretty solid. And what I 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: love about it too, is you look at the back 56 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: half of the year. Right the whole month of December, 57 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers are on the West Coast, three home games 58 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: and then a Thursday night game in Vegas. That's a 59 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: quick trip back and forth. Then you get an extended 60 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: by there, so to be fresh and to be at 61 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: home towards the back half of the year when you 62 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: try to stack wins trying to get in the playoffs. 63 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I think that's huge too, And I know we have 64 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: some guests, but I just remind every by who's listening 65 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: that select single game tickets they're gonna be on sale 66 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: starting at six pm Pacific tonight, So go to Chargers 67 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: dot com for more information.

Mike and Ike themselves, 72 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Michael Badgeley and Isaac Rochelle. What's up, guys? How are you? 73 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of going in and out here on the internet. 74 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: I guess it's kind of it's kind of streaming and 75 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: it looks it looks good, looks good. Hey, who's I 76 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: think the Beast? Rochelle? Yeah, you know, not many people know, 77 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: but that actually is my uh it's my given birth 78 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: middle name, the Beast. So yeah, Isaac, the Beast, Rochelle, Badge. 79 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: You didn't give us, You didn't give us the nickname Broth. Yeah. 80 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: I didn't throw the money Badger in there because I've 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: you know what I've never heard anyone call Isaac that 82 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: I one Henry that's where. Oh yeah, he is the beast. 83 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: He is the beast. Guys. I thought we would do 84 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: this because coachlnd likes to break it up into quarters, right, 85 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: so let's just go into quarters here. Weeks one before 86 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: at Bengals home against the Chiefs, we talked about that 87 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: home against the Panthers, Matt Rules first game here in 88 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: LA and then at Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Your 89 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: reaction to the first four games, Guys, what do you think? Yeah, 90 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: I'll kick us off here. Uh, you know, I think 91 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: you look at those first four right, you got Joe 92 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Burrow going to the Bengals big prime time, you got 93 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champs for our home opener. You got 94 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: Matt Rule and Thatt you know, redone Carolina Panthers team, 95 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: and you got Tom Brady going to the Buccaneers. And 96 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: it's you talk about must see television. I think they're 97 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: gonna be all over the national schedule and all that. 98 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: So it's it's it's an exciting first first quarter of 99 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah. I couldn't agree with Badge more. I mean, 100 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: he's got he had a great answer, but it's like, yeah, 101 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,239 Speaker 1: can you Yeah, I hear you. Yeah, we got you guys, 102 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: We're good. But you talked about four weeks of our schedule. One, 103 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: we're gonna be tested, which I think is really good 104 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: for the team. We're talking about within the first two 105 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: weeks we're playing the Super Bowl champ um. And then 106 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: like bad said, we're gonna get to, you know, challenge 107 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: some of these new quarterbacks and new situations. Um. But again, 108 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good challenge for us. I think 109 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: it'll really set the stage for us to do well 110 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, having played some really 111 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: good teams early on. Yeah, you know what. I look 112 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: at the schedule too, and you guys have not played obviously, 113 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: it's so FI stadium. We know that. Have you played 114 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: in Tampa in Carolina even in college? No, I don't play. 115 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: I played in Carolina Stadium. I did for the ACC 116 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Championship when we played Clemson. We got smoked. But I've 117 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: played in that stadium. But no, I've never I've never 118 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: played at Tampa. Well, I mean, what a surprise, bad 119 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: talking about Miami losing games. I've never I've never played 120 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: the Bucks or the Panthers and I've never even been 121 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: to those stadiums, so that'll be that'll be pretty cool, 122 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: especially go go down to the Buccaneer Stadium. I guess 123 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: we won't be going to the Panthers stadium, but um, 124 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: that'll be cool to go down to Tampa game. I mean, 125 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: and let's not get it twisted, to go down there 126 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: with TV twelve down there, that'll be fun. Yeah, no doubt, 127 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, Panthers are coming to so far, so 128 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: it would just be be in Tampa. Weeks five to eight, 129 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: the second quarter of the season kicks off of the 130 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: band at the st Monday and Night football. You're coming 131 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: home for the Jets at the Dolphins and versus the Jaguars, 132 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: two teams that you guys played and beat last year. Isaac. 133 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, you said it, I'm juiced 134 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: up about just starting off that second quarter going to 135 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: the Saints. You know, like growing up into the Falcons territory, 136 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: the Saints Falcons game was always a big one and 137 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: I remember watching it always thinking how cool would be 138 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: to even go to a game at the stadium. Uh, 139 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: and then now to be able to play to be unreal. Yeah, 140 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: what do you think badge. You know, I think I look, 141 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: I look specifically at the date of that the Miami game, 142 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: that that's an away game, right, yeah, at Miami again. Uh. 143 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: You know you look at that date, October twenty fifth, 144 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be primetime weather. I think that's right as uh. 145 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's starting to look cool down. Uh. And 146 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: same thing with Jacksonville, but the cool one, like you said, 147 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 1: you brought it up, you stopped started with a Monday 148 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: night game in uh in New Orleans. The place is 149 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna be buzzing. It's gonna be and it's it's gonna 150 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: be one of those nationally Monday night everybody's watching. It's 151 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: gonna be a good one. Haley. He told me this offline. 152 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: Brady and Breeze, two Hall of Fame quarterbacks back to 153 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,559 Speaker 1: back weeks four or five. That's that stood out as well, 154 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: back to back back back road games. Yeah. I mean, 155 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: when you face quarterbacks like that, that certainly will stand 156 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: out bad. You mentioned that weather on October twenty fifth. 157 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Is weather an environment sort of one of the first 158 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: things you look at when the schedule comes out, like 159 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: are you in a dome? Is it going to be cold? 160 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: In December? Or January. What do you what do you 161 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of thinking when it first comes down. I mean, 162 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: you gotta think, you know, we're lucky enough we play 163 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: in southern California and there's you know, Southeast Florida teams. 164 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: But for the most part, when you're looking at later 165 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: in the day, later in the year games, if it's 166 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: not a home game, you gotta expect it's going to 167 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: be cold. But I think with those Florida teams, you 168 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: gotta make sure you don't get them too early or 169 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be so hot that you know, hydration 170 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: comes into play and it's something that they're totally used 171 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: to with the humidity and all that. So it's definitely 172 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: important to look at if there's a dome, if it's 173 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: gonna be outside, what you can think about with the 174 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: wind and all that kind of plays into it. But 175 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: you don't get a real feel until you're actually there. 176 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: All right, Week ten is the buy. I think the 177 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: desk great. It's right in the middle of the season 178 00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: and you guys aren't on the road for more than 179 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: two weeks at a time. Let's just buzz through this 180 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: third quarter of the year. Versus the Raiders at home 181 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: then at Broncos, which is going to be spicy this year, 182 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 1: especially at Bills and versus the Patriots. Um, that's a 183 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a a pivotal stretch for you guys, no doubt. Yeah. 184 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean I'm just to again start off with the 185 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: first game of Week three. I'm super excited to go 186 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: out to Vegas and play in their stadium. Oh wait, 187 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: that's a home game. I keep getting mixed up that 188 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: you're getting mixed up. But no that like you said, Chris, 189 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting because some of these teams have mixed 190 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: up their rosters a little bit. Um, and I think 191 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: both you know, the Raiders and the Broncos. Just talking 192 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: about people in our division, it'll be interesting to play them, 193 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: especially just to start off that that quarter three. Yeah, 194 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: I think. I think one that you guys is with 195 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: bye week being at Week ten, it's you know, you 196 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: can get on a couple of rolls with that ten 197 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: week span and then you get a nice one and 198 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: then you get to roll right into those last six 199 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: games of the year. So it's I think it's perfect 200 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: schedule you look at it. You go two back to 201 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: back with a bye week in between divisional games. And 202 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: then you go to AFC East teams with the Bills 203 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: and the Patriots, and you know, right now, you know 204 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: they're they're talking about how the Bills are the favorite 205 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: of the AFC East. So that one's intriguing, and it's 206 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: what that one's at Buffalo. It looks like, Yeah, which 207 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: is which is a great fan base, a tough place 208 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: to play in late November. But it could be a 209 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: little chilly, could be a little chilli. A couple of 210 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: years ago, Elliott, and it was not chill. It was 211 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: not high in September. Um the back half the last 212 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: four games. And I mentioned this at the top. Guys, 213 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: you're on the West Coast for the entire month of December, 214 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: which I think is huge. Um, you close it out 215 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: Falcons at Raiders Thursday night football versus the bron goes 216 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: and then simmer to the last year at Arrowhead to 217 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: close out the twenty twenty season. A great opportunity to 218 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: make a statement, especially with three divisional opponents to close 219 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, I mean, I'll tell you what, just 220 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: to start that quarter, I'm hyped to play the Falcons 221 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: because that's kind of my hometown team. But I think 222 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: you're right Chris, It's like, what better way to end 223 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: the season than playing against the Chiefs. I mean, it's like, 224 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: you want that game to be a huge game because 225 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: you want it to matter for where you're at in 226 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: the division. And it should because I mean we should 227 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: we should do well and they should do well. But 228 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just such a great way to end 229 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: the season playing against them. Yeah, you know, and it's 230 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: funny to see all the divisional games backloaded. And I've 231 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: heard that it might have been if they have to 232 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: compress the season, if there's a later start too. I 233 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: heard that's maybe why they were doing that. But the 234 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: biggest thing that I noticed, and you know, we already 235 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: kind of talked about it, but January third in Kansas City, 236 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: talk about it's a cold a little Yeah, there may 237 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: be precipitation there when you nail when you nail a 238 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: sixty five yarder to win it. That just going going 239 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: off of what Isaac's was saying. With the divisional games 240 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: being all backloaded, you know, there's a little extra emphasis. 241 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: You know, we take every game seriously, but there's a 242 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: little more extra extra emphasis and winning those divisional games 243 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: so you get three in a row to end the season. 244 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: You know that could you know, make or break it 245 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: right there. And you're talking about Chris, like you said, 246 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: with the bye week, uh in court in the third 247 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: quarter of the season, you're gonna have We're gonna have 248 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: such a good perspective of where we're at and what 249 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: we need to do going into the end of the season. 250 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: And like bat said, we're just lucky to have three 251 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: divisional games in a row. I mean, you're gonna be 252 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna be talking about it on December, you know, fourteenth, Like, 253 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: here's what we need to do to finish this season 254 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: out well and get where we want to go. And 255 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: one of those is Vegas. You get to talk about 256 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: Vegas right now. I can talk about Vegas. Yeah, I'm 257 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: duced to go out there. I mean, this is such 258 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: a cool time in the NFL because you know, there's 259 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: been a lot of changes. Like I mentioned earlier, you 260 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: talk about Tom Brady going to the Bucks. Nobody would 261 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: have guessed that would have happened a few years ago. 262 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: And then you talk about all the new stadiums that 263 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: are being built and kind of the changes. From that perspective, 264 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm juiced up to be able to be able to 265 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: go out to Vegas and play in that. I mean, 266 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a crazy environment.
