Speaker 1: of Chargers Weekly. The twenty nineteen regular season schedule was

00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: just released. The voice of the Chargers, Matt Money Smith's

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: gonna join me for immediate reaction. It's a slate that

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: includes four primetime games in several late season divisional matchups.

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: I'll also get Money's thoughts on the switch to the

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: Powder Blues and the twenty nineteen NFL Draft. All right,

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: it's just been released. It's like Christmas in April. Here

9
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers twenty nineteen schedule. Here to break it down

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: with me, the voice of the team, Matt money Smith

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: and Money. It's been a minute, brother, how are you.

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm well, I'm well. Yeah, it's been a little bit

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: of an off season. Although a little bit of football

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: in my off season. I rather there hadn't been any

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: football on my office season with him turned out. But yeah,

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: it's good to be back with you, man. It's good man.

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm excited to break the schedule down. But I think

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: like the second biggest news of the days the schedule

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: in your household, right because I just saw on Instagram

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: that your daughter signed a letter of intent with Dartmouth

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: to play lacrosse. Yeah, Today, April seventeenth is national signing

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: day for a lot of sports, and lacrosse is part

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: of that. So yeah, she very proud of her. She

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: worked very hard and actually walked away from one scholarship

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: that she had been locked into for a couple of

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: years because it just didn't feel right when she went

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: on her official and you know, that was something that

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: to almost advise against, you know, because there's not a

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: lot of those scholarships out there, especially that late in

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: the process, and it was very grave for her to

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: do and she was rewarded for it. Still had a

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: couple of tournaments left in Dartmouth. You know, it was

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: excited about bringing her in. So she's a smart girl.

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: She's worked really hard so to be able to me,

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, female sports when you're not going to be

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe playing professionally or in the Olympics, I

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: don't know if there's anything bigger better than the IVY League.

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: So I'm very very excited for her. And it's a

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: really good team. I think they're top ten right now,

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: or they might be thirteen I think in the nation

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: right now. Just a big win over Pen over the

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: weekend so sorry. I don't want to do too much. No,

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: it's good. The floor is yours, Papa today. Yes, very

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: very big day in the Smith household. She started playing

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: lacrosse when she was in eighth grade after a bad

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: gymnastics injury got her onto that sport and was able

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: to rally and figure it out and like I said,

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: you know, busted her tail. So for all of you

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: who is listening that there maybe parents or something, it

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: was it's a tough road. It's a it's a it's

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: a heck of a time commitment, traveling all over the country.

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a financial commitment. But if you've got kids

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: that want to chase that dream, man it is it

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: is a special day to see that smile on their

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: face and that emotion as the coaches kind of given

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: their speech about what kind of kid you have and

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: what they've meant to their high school program and how

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: proud they are they're going to be playing at the

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: next level. If it really was neat. So I cannot

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: expressing up in those dark times and the tough times,

61
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: because there's plenty of them, you know, many at times

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: crying in the car or flying to Baltimore or wherever

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: we were going where you know, you questioned it and man,

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: was it worth it? Worth it in you know, ten

65
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: one hundred times over. Big day for the household. Man,

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: shout out to Peyton. It's fantastic news. Ben. Let's get

67
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: into this thing money. I think the over arching teams here,

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: the thirty thousand foot view, if you will, four primetime

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: games they didn't have any to start the year. Last year,

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: seven of the first ten come against non playoff teams,

71
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: and then you look at the end of the schedule,

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: five of the last seven games come against AFC West opponents.

73
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: So November December gonna be huge for this team. You're

74
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: just your initial thoughts on his schedule. Well, yeah, I'll

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: tell you the first I guess just as a broadcaster.

76
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: The first thing that jumped out at me is NBC

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: must have really liked that Saturday night game against Baltimore

78
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: US to love the way it look the way it felt,

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: because we had heard when they had been playing in Carson,

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: you know they're at Dignity Hell Sportsplex as it is

81
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: called now, that it was going to logistically be taught

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: to do everything that they wanted to do on their broadcast. Well,

83
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: the NFL forced them to try it, and by getting

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: two Sunday nighters against Pittsburgh and Minnesota, I'm guessing and

85
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: I and you know, I watched that thing back on

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: TV and it looked great. And it is a cool venue.

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: It's a unique venue. So that's the first thing that

88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: jumped out of me. And you know what, I thought

89
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: that was the best crowd, best atmosphere, even with the

90
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: game being as flat as it was to start, I

91
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: thought it was electric in that place before takeoff any

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: other game over the two years that we've been calling

93
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: them there. So I'm excited to have two huge games

94
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: against you know, long time NFL franchises like the Stealers

95
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: and by teams on Sunday night. Let's get into this thing,

96
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: just game by game, you know, we can buzz through.

97
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Some of these have some fun storylines in Week one,

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, a playoff team last year. Andrew Luck, Philip Rivers,

99
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: the Darius Leonard Derwin James storyline, a lot of fun

100
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: stuff in this one. Well, to me, you know, more

101
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: than anything, you know, this is a This was a

102
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: matchup that a lot of people thought was going to

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: happen in the AFC Championship game, as crazy as it

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: sounds now looking back at you know how it ends

105
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Chargers in New England. But a lot of people thought

106
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers matched up well, thought they were going to

107
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: be the team to knock off the Paths and end

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: that dynasty, and that the Colts because of how balanced

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: they were the defense, they played, the running game, that

110
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: they had found that they were going to be able

111
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: to knock off the Chiefs. And obviously it didn't happen.

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Both the Chiefs and Patriots won. But I think this

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: is you know, it sounds stupid and we're just two

114
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: idiots talking about the players who got a pseudopy playing it,

115
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: But to me it's it's to some degree kind of

116
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: one of those measuring sick litmus test games. Okay, what

117
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: are we Is there momentum from last year? You know,

118
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: if you can put it on the Colts or you

119
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: can just get three. I think it's a tone, you

120
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: know right away, especially looking at the four, that you

121
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: know that you have a team that was one of

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: the final four in the AFC straight out the gate

123
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: at your place, and a team that has its eyes

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: down making it to the super Bowl after taking a

125
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: huge step last year. It's on the young grade they

126
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: put into the opposite and a lot of young guys

127
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: that they're going to be looking to take a step.

128
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: I think getting a win here. And I feel like

129
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: we have the same conversation last year about the Chiefs

130
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: and the Chargers and the opener and a gauge based

131
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: on what was on there on their schedule to gauge

132
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: and maybe set its home for the entire twenty nineteen campaign. Yeah, Bunny,

133
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: I look at the last two years too, and they

134
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: opened with the Broncos in Coach Len's first year on

135
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: the road, and then that Chiefs game. We talked up

136
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: that Chiefs game big time, saying that it's not a

137
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: must win, but it kind of is. I think this

138
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: is just it's so imperative to get out to a

139
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: fast start, and even last year going twelve and four,

140
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: you start one and two, you lose to Arrival. It

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: kind of took the air out until week two when

142
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: you go to Buffalo and win. So this is a

143
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: team that you may have to see again in the playoffs.

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: And again, I think the Frank Wright storyline is fun too,

145
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: because he knows Philip really well. Sirianni, the offensive coordinator

146
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: used to be with the Chargers, So not only are

147
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: there some some ties on the field, but also in

148
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, no question, And I think you know

149
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: those are ties, like you said, Nick Sirianniyoc Frank right,

150
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: former Roc. There's those connections. But I think just for

151
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: the fans, hey man, you got Andy Luck versus Phill Rivers. Yes,

152
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's awesome. This is a great way, what

153
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: a great way to start. You got Mali Cooker, you know,

154
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: roaming that backfield trying to trying to do what he

155
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: can against Philip Rivers. You got Drwin James, you know,

156
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: just with that freaking nose trying to sniff out Andy

157
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: Luck at the line of scrimmage. Like it's an awesome

158
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: football game to have to start the season and money.

159
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Derwin talked this week about not winning Rookie of the Year,

160
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: and he's very, very complimentary of Darius Leonard. But I'll

161
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: tell you what, in the back of his mind, he

162
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: probably wants to prove something in week one he got

163
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: he got a little slider in my opinion, Oh, no question.

164
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought, you know, I know, you know,

165
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: nobody at the Chargers will will say it but I

166
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: will I mean Darius Leonards, Kato June, you know, and

167
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: nothing against him. He played great. You have to make

168
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: the tackles. But that's the Colds defense. It's the same

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: Colds defense they ran when they had Teyton Manning there,

170
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: and they funnel all players to one side and expect

171
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: that player at that position to make the tackles. And

172
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: they're going to pile up Gaudi stats. But again, he's

173
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: got to make the place. I get it, and he's

174
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: a great player. He snatched the starting spot, he kept

175
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: the starting spot. But I do think it was a

176
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: stat award. I really do. I think if you're just

177
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: talking about straight impact on the field and you remove

178
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: the statistics from it, anybody that watches football can see

179
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: how Derwin James affects every single snap on defense and

180
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: is one of those players that the quarterback he's trying

181
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: to account for every single time he's about to drop back. Yeah.

182
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: So so Week one's gonna be fun. I'm looking forward

183
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: to and you Lug versus Philip Rivers. Week two. Nothing

184
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: new for the Chargers in the Eastern time zone at Detroit.

185
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: You're two under Matt Patricia. The lines were six and

186
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: ten last year and money. This is the first of

187
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: four games against the NFC North. Yeah, you know, Detroit's inside,

188
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: so when you got to go out to the NFC

189
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: and North for two of them, they caught a break.

190
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: I know, you'd get to that Chicago game a little

191
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: later when they decided to schedule them. So still I think,

192
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, it is the Eastern time zone, and they

193
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: do have a lot of those at Miami, at Jacksonville.

194
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: You know, Chicago is Central time, Tennessee's Central time. But

195
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: you know that's just the deal of being a West

196
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Coast team, right, you know you're gonna have to deal

197
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: with those again. I feel like it's on paper a

198
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: good matchup for them. A lot of noise coming out

199
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: of Detroit about the relationship between the players and Matt Patricia,

200
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: and you know whether or not there's some carry over

201
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: there or where the Lions figure themselves in this NFC

202
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: North mix, which is obviously very similar to the AFC West,

203
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: you have three teams. You could pick any one of

204
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: those three and feel pretty good about it. I mean,

205
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: obviously in the FC West, a lot of people picking

206
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: either the Charters are the chiefs, but between the Vikings,

207
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: the Bears and the Packers. You know, you're not going

208
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: to say boot anyone that says I think this. You

209
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: know blank team will win it. And the Lions are

210
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: trying to carve out, you know, a path to prove

211
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: everybody else wrong with their last place schedule and the

212
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: hopes that they can get back in to that mix.

213
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: So you know this is going to be a big

214
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: one for them. It's a home game, It's a statement game,

215
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: no question, but I will take You know, I love

216
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: this team on the road. I mean we saw the

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: year before, we specially saw it last year. And to

218
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: have a road opponent, to be a team that finished

219
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: in last place last season with a little bit of

220
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: change but not a whole lot, I think sets up

221
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: very well for the first trip, you know, away from

222
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles. Agreed, it's weird to look at Philip

223
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: Rivers against the Lions because he's only faced them three times.

224
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: He's two them one all time. They beat the Lions

225
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, So not an opponent you see every

226
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: day for the Chargers going back to LA in Week three,

227
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Houston and this is another fun woman. It's another playoff team.

228
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: You get Deshaun Watson versus Philip. I think the highlight

229
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: for me is DeAndre Hopkins and Keenan Allen on the

230
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: field together, two the best route runners, two the best

231
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: receivers in the game. Yeah, no question, And for me

232
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be And I don't know what the

233
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: offensive line is going to look like. We don't know

234
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: where they're going to draft. There's still some people out

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: there in free agency. We know how Tom's a less

236
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: go tend to operate a forest lamp. Going to be

237
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: on the interior of the line. Is Sam Peavy still

238
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: at right tackle? But you know, this was an offensive

239
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: line that was challenged and when you've got you know,

240
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: I know there's still some contract issues there and they're

241
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. But I'll just assume that

242
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney and JJ Watter are going to be back there,

243
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: and Whitney Merciless I think is still there. I remember, right, so,

244
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, a heck of a tests for that old

245
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: line and probably you know kind of that and look,

246
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: the culture good on the defensive line, but you know

247
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: they had some found money there, you know, and Marcus Hunting,

248
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: this will be a real This will give you a

249
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: very good idea of what the Chargers are looking at

250
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: in front of Philip Rivers, because I think a lot

251
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: of that was masked last year. A lot of the

252
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: challenges were masked by Rivers and his ability to, you know,

253
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: overcome a pass rush or create plays where other quarterbacks

254
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: simply would not be able to. So to have what

255
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: and Clowney and that front come to come to LA,

256
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: I think we'll quickly give us an idea of what

257
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: we're looking at with that group of five in front

258
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: of Philip. Yeah, this is no question the best pass

259
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: rush they're going to see during the first quarter of

260
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: the season. So the first four games we talk about

261
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Clowney and why And this is another what brother reunion money.

262
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: I JJ was hurt the last time the Texans played

263
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers, so Derek got to face his one brother

264
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh last year. I'll get to face JJ this time. Yeah,

265
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: he sure did. And it's it's a fun family, you know.

266
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: And I keep telling Derek, I don't know why it

267
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: doesn't go by DJ. I mean he got DJ, got

268
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Jje consistent, j oh Man, J Watt. Let's make it happen,

269
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: let's go So yeah, look, I'd love it I would

270
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: love to see a little play action, freaking go on,

271
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: cut him down, cut your brother down. We didn't see

272
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: We didn't really see that in the Pittsburgh game. You know.

273
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: I want to see that against the Texas. Yeah, we

274
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: did not, and darn it we should have. I'm I'm

275
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: in the boat with you, Chris. I want it. I

276
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: want some watt on wat action all right. Week four

277
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: Miami in September, which is always a kind of a

278
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: wildcard month when it comes to weather, um fits magic

279
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: in the mix. I look at a return for Mike Pouncey.

280
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: I know it's kind of a new administration there with

281
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: Brian Flores and company. But this is a team that

282
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: two years ago kind of put a wrench in the

283
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Chargers season in twenty seventeen, beating them nineteen seventeen, first

284
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: game in Los Angeles for the Chargers. Maybe a little

285
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: bit of revenge here a Week four money well, you know,

286
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: not a lot of the same players, obviously a lot

287
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: of turnovery team. Look, this is you just hope you

288
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: don't get bit by the old Fitz matching because you

289
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: know it's coming. You know there's gonna be one or

290
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: two games or Old Fitz magic. Let's it roll for

291
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: for five hundred yards and four touchdowns and the rest

292
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: are going to be you know, three take games and

293
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: they're going to go to some other quarterback. But it's

294
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: it is a team that looks as though they are

295
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: in transition. They are in rebuild, whatever you want to

296
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: call it. And you know, even you got you still

297
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: have to travel to the other side of the country.

298
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: There's obviously still a lot of challenges in doing that.

299
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: It's still a team that's got some solid players on defense.

300
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: But um, it's kind of what you know, before we

301
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: got this thing rolling, and I was, you know, you

302
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: and I were talking a little bit, and um, I

303
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: just liked the way the first five line ups, you know,

304
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: the first five line up well, and to me, this

305
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: is a game where no, you would hope based on

306
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: the personnel and you know, the way things look on paper,

307
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: which is stupid to look at, but I'll say it

308
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: anyway that you know, maybe maybe Tyrod Taylor gets a

309
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: quarter in in this game. I think would be nice. Um,

310
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, especially considering what you got following it up,

311
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's kind of you know, I

312
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: hate doing that because you have no idea what a

313
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: team is going to be. But you know, you start

314
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: your your AFC West schedule the following week, and we

315
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: know that Coach Lynn likes to play this this season

316
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: in quarters. He talks about coming out of a quarter

317
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: and to maybe have the ability to to hang a

318
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: three and one or even a four and oh on

319
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season. Um. That's a heck

320
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: of a way to set a tone. Um, and not

321
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: one that we've seen the charters be able to do

322
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: these last two years under Coach Lynn. Yeah, it'd be

323
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: important to stack some some ws here in the first

324
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: quarter of the season because Week five, as you said,

325
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: it's the dever Broncos, the first AFC West game for

326
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Again, this is a team with a lot

327
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: of new faces, including its head coach and quarterback. You

328
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: have Vic Fangio the new head coach, Joe Flacco going

329
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: to be under center, and this is a game money, right.

330
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: I look at when the Broncos came to Dignity Health

331
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: last year, Chargers of them a little bit of a

332
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: payback case. Keenom. I know he's not there anymore, but

333
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: it led that that last second drive to beat the

334
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: Chargers was it was. I looked it was a bad game.

335
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: It was a brutal game for the Chargers, and we

336
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: knew it in the moment that it happened. Set to

337
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: go up by I think it would have been three scores.

338
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: Philip rows that pick and now it's the game and

339
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: it just got away from him and that was a

340
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: huge loss. And you knew it in the moment, and

341
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I'm not saying it was a fluke.

342
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: I bring it up because that's what happened. Bradley and

343
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: Von Miller can do to you, and it can do

344
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: it to anybody. You know, It's not just Bill looked

345
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: at it a pass rush that can heat you up.

346
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: And again to me, like when I look at the

347
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: if it we talked about the quarters, and I guess, like,

348
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm bringing it up again. I think Coach

349
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: Lynn has just maybe pounded it into me here. But

350
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: you look at that second quarter. You know, I mentioned

351
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season and how favorable it

352
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: looks on paper. When you see that second quarter, Denver,

353
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at home, Titans Bears on the road. That's four

354
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: really good football teams. And you know at least that

355
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: you know I don't. For whatever we think of the

356
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: Broncos offense, we know what that defense is because it's

357
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: got von Miller and Bradley Shove upfront. So to me,

358
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: that's another one of those tone set or games. Hey,

359
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: it's the first game of our second quarter. We know

360
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers are coming in here, and man, are they

361
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna be pissed because of what happened last year and

362
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: the Chargers getting the first victory in Pittsburgh history, not Hinsfield,

363
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh history, when the team had at leaked a sixteen

364
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: point lead in the second half. I think, get that

365
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: comeback when the Steelers certainly will remember that they're a

366
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: very good team. So I think when in you know,

367
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: beating the Broncos, it's obviously important. Every game is important.

368
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: You know, they were twelve and four last year and

369
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: had to go on the road, you know, for a

370
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: wildcard game, So we know how important getting victories every

371
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: single week. You know how how important that is. But

372
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: just the way that the next three line up in

373
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: that second quarter, it's a big one. It's a little

374
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: harry in the second quarter. We'll slide right into the

375
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: first primetime game of the season for the Chargers against

376
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: the Steelers. It's that rematch and you said that the

377
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: NBC folks liked how that looked. They probably also liked

378
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: how that Steelers Chargers game looked last year. This is

379
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: a new look Steelers team. It's a it's a homecoming

380
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: for Juju. You got Big Ben versus Philip again, the

381
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: class of two thousand and four. And in a rematch

382
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: of that game, you said it thirty three thirty Badgley

383
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 1: hitting that game winning field goal. Yeah, and you know,

384
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: we don't know what we're going to know by then,

385
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: like what the Steelers look like about Antonio Brown and

386
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: how much attention he draws and how important he was

387
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: through that team. Now we already know what they look

388
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: like with a Levon val We saw it last year. Right,

389
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: you know what I think is going to be able

390
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: to be sorted out because like that, right, you're six

391
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: games into the season now now you kind of know,

392
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: you know what a team is. You know whether or

393
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: not that you know the Steelers are going to revolt

394
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: against Big Band if they were Antonio and Lebon and

395
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: you can't recover from this kind of thing, or if

396
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: that was a galvanizing moment, if that was, Hey, these

397
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: guys were me guys and we are we guys. By

398
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: then you're going to figure that out. And because I

399
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: don't know the answer, I cannot figure out what Pittsburgh

400
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: is going to be this season, because it certainly seems

401
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of barking about how they got

402
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: to stay together, how there's no outside noise. All of

403
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: that stuff leads me to believe, oh, yeah, there's issues,

404
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: because if there weren't, you wouldn't have all these people

405
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: trying to say there's no problem and we got to

406
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: stick together and all that sort of stuff. So it's

407
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: hard for me to kind of project what this is

408
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: going to look like, how couple of the game this

409
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: is going to be, because I don't know. Look, that

410
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: was a team that had more talent than maybe anybody

411
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: in the AFC last year and they didn't even make

412
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they completely fell apart. So it's just

413
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: kind of it's hard for me to figure out. I

414
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: think that's what I'm getting out of keeps saying the

415
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: same thing. It's hard for me to figure out, you know,

416
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: what the Steelers are until I see whether or not

417
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin can coach these guys up can get them

418
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: to move past you know, pro bowlers, multiple time Pro

419
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: bowlers leaving in the off season. Buddy, it's almost, as

420
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: we talk, it's almost silly to talk about some of

421
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: this stuff in April. It's so much fun, and I

422
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: know everybody enjoys it. But you know, just think of

423
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: the impact that Durwin made last year, and you Chenna

424
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: in that game against the Ravens, and Justin Jackson with

425
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: his performance against the Steelers last year. These guys were

426
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: rookies last year. And we sit here a week from

427
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: the draft. We don't know who the Charges are gonna draft.

428
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: We don't know the Stealers are going to draft. There

429
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: could be some guys that play a big role, especially

430
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: look at the track record of t Lescon company, that

431
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: could play a big role in some of these games.

432
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: And it's just it's funny for us to talk about

433
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: it now knowing that this roster's gonna look pretty different. Yeah,

434
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and that goes for all of the opponents

435
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: as well. Right, we don't we don't know what the

436
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: Bront Bront because I have a top ten pig, you know,

437
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: who knows who that player is going to be or

438
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: what that player can be. We know how you know,

439
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: deep this this draft is on the defensive lineu you know,

440
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: in the secondary and like you said, on the charger

441
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Yeah, I mean to LESCo, it's

442
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the best track records in all of football.

443
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when you talk about first rounders and

444
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do. Um and like you said,

445
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: the impact that Derwin James had last year. And I

446
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: think we're also forgetting the fact that Kaiser White got hurt,

447
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, and how good he looked. I mean, he

448
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: was a starter, you know, and he was an athletic

449
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: starter and was able to do things that Gus Bradley

450
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: wanted to do that he could no longer do with

451
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: that defense and once he went down. So no question,

452
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: and I mean, like you hit it on the head,

453
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: we're talking about it. It's fun to talk about because

454
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: it's our first look at how everything lays out as

455
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: you're trying to project what a record is and home

456
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: field advantage in the playoffs and all that, and it

457
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: can all get blown to heck in a half second.

458
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: We know that, but at the same time, we got it,

459
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: so why not kick it around And we're going to

460
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: do it again a week in what ten days after

461
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: they get their seven draft picks or however many they

462
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: manage to a mass and try to project how those

463
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: guys are going to contribute, right, no doubt, no doubt,

464
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Week seven at tennessee money. This is fun because it's

465
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: a rematch and we don't have to go to London

466
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: for it. It's twenty nineteen. It was twenty nineteen, and

467
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on these powder blue

468
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: uniforms because one of the more memorable moments for me

469
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: was that that ap two point conversion tip that won

470
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: the game for the Chargers in London. Just your reaction

471
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: to those unis be in the primary Now. Well, I

472
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: don't know if this will get me in trouble at all,

473
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: but anytime I was on the road and had the

474
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: ear of John Spanos, there was uniform talk. Maybe I'm

475
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm a big uniform guy, always have been. I always

476
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: think I have all the answers of who wears the

477
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: you know what the best combo would be for this team?

478
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: And um, it is some that I impressed upon John

479
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: Spanos that I would love to see happen, that I

480
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: would really like to see one of two things, and

481
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: that is the Powders or the late seventies early eighties

482
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: stan Fout Sarah Royals the blue of color. And I

483
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: did get the sense from John because it was their

484
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: original uniform in Los Angeles when the franchise first started here.

485
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: And one of the things I love about John there

486
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: are many things, but one that I really do because

487
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: he is very much like me. He's a uniform guy.

488
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: Is He said, if we do this, I'm going to

489
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: insist we do it with gold face masks. And I said,

490
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm in if you do it with gold face masks.

491
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm in for the Powders, and I will I will

492
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: abandon my Royals if you promise me. It's a gold

493
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: face mask. That's a cherry on top by and it

494
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: is you know what, So you say it's the cherry

495
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: on top. I say, it's the foundation on which the

496
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: house is built. You go. I love I love the

497
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: powder I love that color. M it is a unique

498
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: color as far as the powder Bay Bay light whatever

499
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: you know, however you want to describe the light blue,

500
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: the powder blue, but it is such a unique color.

501
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: But to me, to have a colored face mask in

502
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: the NFL is really special because when you look around,

503
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: ain't many um so to be able to pull off

504
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: a gold face mask, I think is really what separates it.

505
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: God it's so clean, and you know, I think of

506
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: under Anthony Lynne, they're four no when they when they

507
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: wear the powders, and I just I think of Thanksgiving,

508
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: the twenty eight six victory against the Cowboys. I think

509
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: of that. I think of that London game. I think

510
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: of the twenty one nothing shut out of the Broncos

511
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: shutting him out for the first time in twenty five years.

512
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: And there was another game too that I escased me

513
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: at this at this moment, but I just think of

514
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: winning right now over the last two years, wearing the

515
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: powder so at Tennessee. Yeah, what I what I said

516
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: to what I said to John, I said, hey, look,

517
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: you you've got the best uniform of the NFL. It's

518
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: the best one. It's no question. Go use it, you know,

519
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: put us to use. The only thing he didn't take.

520
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: I wanted the gold pans, which I guess is too much,

521
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, but hey, I like the disco, you know,

522
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: I mean, let's go, let's go disco gold baby. But

523
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: that was kind of my final point to him, I

524
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: was like, you have the best uniforms in the NFL.

525
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: There is nothing better. If you go with powder, why

526
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: not do it? So I am still all right to Tennessee.

527
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: At Tennessee Nashville, let's go. I love that city. I

528
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: have on my notes, great road trip city. That's one

529
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: of my that's one of my takeaways. Big fan. You're

530
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: going to be out there in a week for the draft,

531
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: I would assume, Um, so you'll be able to lay

532
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: the groundwork for Oh, I'm I'm gonna be with you

533
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: at the Santa Monica Peter Money. Yeah right, I'm not

534
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: going you are What am I thinking? We got a

535
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: Chargers draft party. I forgot about that. So yeah, Nashville

536
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: is a great time. Um, and it's a look what

537
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 1: did you say twenty to nineteen in London. You know

538
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: it's a tough team. They will bust you up. You

539
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: know they play sound, stout defense. Um. You know they

540
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: have the personality of their coach, Mike Rabell. He's a

541
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: great coach. Um, it's a tough team. They certainly found

542
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: something with Derrick Henry there toward the end of the

543
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: year where they started running rush shot all over people.

544
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't know where that was in the you know,

545
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, but Hack, we barely got any

546
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry shown to us when we were out there

547
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: following the game. So I think it'll be a little

548
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: bit of a different looking team and a lot more

549
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. And who knows if Marcus will be out

550
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: there or not, because the guy you know, has not

551
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: been able to stay healthy. When he is healthy, he's

552
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: a load to deal with when he is. Those legs.

553
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: We saw that out there in London. So I expect

554
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: it to be a very tough contest. Yeah, you know

555
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: this second quarter of the season. Denver, it's Denver. It's

556
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: always gonna be tough. It's an Acus game. Pittsburgh didn't

557
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Pittsburgh's gonna be tough. Tennessee barely missed

558
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Tennessee is gonna be tough. And in Week

559
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: eight at Chicago, I think my top takeaway here is

560
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: homecoming for money in Chicago October twenty seventh. Well, as

561
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: someone who spent seventeen years there, I came to LA

562
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: before I was even an adult for college because I

563
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: was young. But October is still pleasant for the most part. Now,

564
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: my old man just sent me a photo back at

565
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: the old Homestead of snow on the ground in April.

566
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: So who the heck knows what happens these days with

567
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: the weather patterns, But I think that's a big one

568
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: that you're not going to Chicago in the middle of

569
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: December with the Lake Effect and you're playing at night

570
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: and it's thirty degrees below zero, because man, that not fun.

571
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: So and remember last year Chargers never got hit with weather.

572
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: The coldest we had was the coldest that the team

573
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: had was in New England for that AFC Divisional Round

574
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: game and it wasn't even that cold. It was cold

575
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: that it wasn't freezing. So the fact that you get

576
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: to avoid that your December trips save the one to

577
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and that they have that last year too,

578
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: but your December trips are to Jacksonville in Kansas City,

579
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big win to miss that in Chicago.

580
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: Look the Bears, mister Trubisky's got to prove it to me, man,

581
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: you know you you roll in there with Bosa and

582
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram and let's see it. Let's let's see it.

583
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: I prove it to me. Prove it to the to

584
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: the world that you can win a game, because as

585
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: far as I could tell last year, Trubisky was still

586
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: for the most part in let's just not mess this up.

587
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Let the defense, you know, take care of business. All

588
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: I need you to do is stay out of the

589
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: way and we can get some victories. Yeah, to talk

590
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: about a pass rusher's dream here, you got Khalil, Mack

591
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: and Floyd on one side, you got Bosa and Ingram

592
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: and Nuosu on the other. And um, I had to

593
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: do a double take when I read this. The Chargers

594
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: haven't won in Chicago since the first time they played

595
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 1: the Bears October eighteenth, nineteen seventy. So we're talking forty

596
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: nine years. So that's that's h exercising some demons if

597
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: didn't get a win here. Yeah, and there have been

598
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: some really bad their team over the course of that time.

599
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Praying you would assume I mean, you know, I mean, obviously,

600
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: when it's not in your division, you know you're going

601
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: to rotate. You know, basically you're not going to travel

602
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: to Chicago but once every whatever it is, you know,

603
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: six years, So it's not like there's a ton of

604
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: opportunities there. But yeah, what a perfect time to excise

605
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: those demons and uh and and get a victory on

606
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: the road as a West Coast team and a cold

607
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: weather climate. Even though again right around Halloween, it won't

608
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: be too cold, I don't think, you know, typically at

609
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: that time still get a little bit of the least

610
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: change and I think by then, so it should be

611
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: a pleasant noon kick, a nice nooner. Yeah, I'm excited

612
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: about that in there in Chicago. I'm excited about that one.

613
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: Get to the Shy for the weekend, and then the

614
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Chargers got to turn around go back to LA And

615
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big one too. The Green

616
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: Bay Packers their third NFC North game of the year.

617
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: At this point, they're one and ten all time against

618
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: the Packers and Philip Rivers Aaron Rodgers. This will only

619
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: be the third time they've gone head to head here.

620
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: It should be a good one. It looks like it's

621
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: in that Romo nance window one twenty five cvs. Oh,

622
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: you gotta believe it. I mean, no question that'll be

623
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: a Romo nance game. I mean, you get Aaron Rodgers

624
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: and Philip Rivers on the field, you don't know how

625
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: many more times you're going to get that, because you

626
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: would assume moving forward. Now you're talking about either three

627
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: years from now and who knows if if you know,

628
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: or four years from now because they're an NFC team

629
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: four years from now and we don't know if Philip's

630
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: going to be the around four years from now. You know,

631
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: he wants to coach them high school football, so you know,

632
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: whenever he decides he's gonna want to do that. This

633
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: may be the last time we get these two guys

634
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: on the field, unless it's a super Bowl, So it'll

635
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: be special. It'll be another one of those special games.

636
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: And we had a couple of them last year, you know,

637
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: And I think anytime you get something like this, you

638
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: do want to make sure you pay attention because again,

639
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: we don't know if we'll ever get it again. Two

640
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks I've ever played the game. Again,

641
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the Packers are going to be without

642
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. It's been forever, you know, and it's so

643
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, is Flur more than just a guy who

644
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: carried Sean mcvay's bag, or you know, is he just

645
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: being hired on another guy's reputation. I do know this

646
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has not suffer fools. So if it goes bad,

647
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: it's going to go bad in a hurry. Yeah, it'll

648
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: go bad before week nine, I think at that point

649
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. And if it's going good, and you know

650
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: what a lot of the murmurs were that that you know,

651
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: McCarthy became disinterested and was calling the same place he

652
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: was calling ten years ago and they never adapted and

653
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: it drove Aaron Rodgers crazy. Well, then look out, because

654
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: that dude's the Kraken. And you know, if he has

655
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: been held back by the you know, incapability of a

656
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: head coach that did not adapt to a new NFL

657
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: and did not adjust play calling that any defender, a

658
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator can catch up to. We certainly know the

659
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: type of talent that Rogers possesses. He's the best thrower

660
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: I have ever seen in the history of football, and

661
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: he can tear you up in a hurry. So I

662
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 1: guess what I'm hoping for is coach La Fleur the jag,

663
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: just a guy, not some sort of bright offensive mind,

664
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: just going to really broaden Aaron Rodgers' ability to do

665
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: even more damage after this week Week nine, there's a

666
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: six week stretch, which is very similar to last year

667
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: where they're not back in Los Angeles for a football game.

668
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: They go Thursday night, Week ten at Oakland and this

669
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: is the first time they'll see the Raiders this year.

670
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: They'll see Antonio Brown, they'll see Tyrrell Williams and a

671
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: host of new players in Oakland and the Chargers since

672
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: moving back to LA their four now against the Raiders. Yeah,

673
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: and you know, again a team that we don't know

674
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: a lot about it. Oh my gosh. They did a

675
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: heck of a job in free agency, you know, getting

676
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: a left tackle that did a hell of a job

677
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: on Joey Bosa, on Melvin Ingram and the AFC championship

678
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: in the FFC Divisional game, and we know how leaky

679
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: Colton Miller was all season. It was the worst left

680
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: tackle in the game, you know, based on holding penalty, sacks, pressures,

681
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: hits allowed. So they get him off that left side,

682
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: move them to the right side. So I guess I

683
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: would say he was ever opposite him get after a

684
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: police because Trent Brown and see you to be able

685
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: to do a number on the other one. So you

686
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: got that. Obviously, Antonio Brown's a nightmare to deal with,

687
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: and they're pretty good on the interior of that line.

688
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Now is it a shootout? Are they going? You know?

689
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: What are those three first round picks look like? You know,

690
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: is it someone that can come in and can be

691
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: immediately like a Quinnin Williams and at Oliver Josh Allen

692
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: at that number one, you know, at that number four spot. Um?

693
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: What do the two picks in the twenties? You know,

694
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: provided that a safety in a corner? Is that a linebacker? Um? Is?

695
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: You know what? What? What are they gonna because you

696
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be all defense? It has to be

697
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: um they you know they what I think they had

698
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: fewer sacks than like three or four guys in the NFL. Yeah. Um,

699
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: So that's that's And whether or not you can do

700
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: that in the draft, I don't know, you know, I

701
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: mean it's we saw it with with both his rookie year.

702
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: We saw it last year with Bradley Chubb. It seems

703
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: like pass rushers can come in and make an immediate impact. Um.

704
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: We saw with Khalil Mack and Jadavan Clowney their their

705
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: rookie years. So you know it's it's it's gonna be

706
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: a completely different team than than we've seen up to

707
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: this point. So it's just kind of hard to project,

708
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, what to expect from that one. It is,

709
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: and you know, you look at free agency and you

710
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: know how a team like the Chargers use it, right, Thomas,

711
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: David Tyrod Taylor, come in, you take care of your

712
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: own and then you see how the Raiders are using it.

713
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: And granted, I know it's a rebuild, but they have

714
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: a completely new squad and I mean they are signing

715
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: guys left and right. I mean, I think it was

716
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: in the double digits in the month of March. So

717
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: it's just two teams in very different stages right now.

718
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: So you're right, it's hard to tell what the Oakland

719
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 1: Raiders gonna look like in week ten. All right, guys.

720
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: Before we get to the second half of the schedule,

721
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,240

730
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: You know, just kind of going back to your point

731
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: about free agency, I think, you know, just to touch

732
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: on that real quick. Yeah, I think I think two

733
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: extremes that I didn't expect. I thought the Chargers would

734
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: do more. I was surprised the Raiders did so much.

735
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: You know, it just it didn't surprise me a little bit.

736
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: And I thought that, you know, Mike Mayak and John

737
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: Drewden said something that was very telling, and that is,

738
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, the free agency can allow you to fill

739
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: some needs so you don't have to worry about him

740
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: in the draft. You can just take the best player available. Now,

741
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: we know they didn't feel all their needs because they

742
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: still have a ton of them on the defensive side

743
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: of the ball. But I do think, um, you know,

744
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what direction they go at

745
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: free safety. Um, if you look at the roster, it's

746
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, Jaalen Watkins, who missed the entire season with

747
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: a knee injury, and I guess ray Sean Jenkins see

748
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: whether or not he can play that spot, um that

749
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's entirely natural for him. And then

750
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: of course at linebacker, you know, just trying to find

751
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: some depth there. And the defensive tackle you get Thomas Davis.

752
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: He's he's older, but he's a heck of a player

753
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: if he can say healthy, no question about that. But

754
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: if the interior or that defensive line, and I don't

755
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: know if that's just you know, the idea that that

756
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: guys that you know are young and we're draft picks

757
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: last year, like Justin Jones, and if he's the one

758
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: that's going to make that that step, but you still

759
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: got a second defensive top we will have to figure

760
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: out there too, So it'll be interesting to see how

761
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: that all comes together. If they're just waiting out and

762
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: Dominicans soon here in free agency until the numbers write

763
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: for them. You know, we all know if you want

764
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: to do it, you can create cap space. It's not

765
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: hard to do. You convert to signing bonus, you're able

766
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: to pro rate that over the course of a couple

767
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: of years instead of a straight salary. So it's kind

768
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: of something I'm keeping an eye on. If that's what

769
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: Tom's doing here. You know, it's a great point to

770
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: see that. Yeah, just to hit that, you know, because

771
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great point that you made

772
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: in terms of how each team approached it in the

773
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: AFC West. Well, you know too, Money, you look at

774
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: the draft in defensive line obviously is the strength, and

775
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of veteran defensive linemen still out there,

776
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: so you just wonder how the dominoes are going to all,

777
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, seven days from now, in that first round,

778
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: and maybe that kind of sets the table for some

779
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: of these veterans it gets signed. You know, you guys

780
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: like Corey Legions are still out there, you know, guys

781
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: who can make an impact in twenty nineteen. So it's

782
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: your point about sad. Yeah, do your point about safety too.

783
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of I think starting quality safeties in

784
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: this draft, maybe at the end of the first going

785
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: into the second and third rounds. So maybe that's a

786
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: need for the you know, I was going to ask

787
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: you at the end, just you your thoughts. We just

788
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: get into it now if you want number twenty eight. Overall,

789
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 1: it's just it's interesting because when you have a team

790
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: like the Chargers, where you're pretty strong. We had a

791
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: lot of different positions. It truly is a best available

792
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: situation because you're at the mercy of twenty seven other teams. Yeah,

793
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's going to be somewhat

794
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: similar to last year, not as extreme because I don't

795
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: think you'll have one of those elite talents that can

796
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: slip you when four quarterbacks are taken. But you know,

797
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: we never assume that it's going to happen, right, We

798
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: always just figure, well, they're not gonna take Drew lock

799
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: or they're not gonna take Daniel Jones or man could

800
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: could Jared's didn't really sneak into the back end of

801
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: the first round. You know, that's but then it happens,

802
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, then it ends up happening. And that's how

803
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: you end up getting a linebacker that should have gone

804
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: in the in the late teens slipped you at twenty eight.

805
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: How you get a safety, like you said, or maybe

806
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: a corner, you know, maybe a greedy Williams slips all

807
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: the way to twenty eight and you're like, okay, well,

808
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 1: let's look at last year. Burrett was out. We rolled

809
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: with Trevor Williams, he was solid, he got hurt. Then

810
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: we got Michael Davis playing after Trevor Williams was healthy

811
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And is that is that something we're

812
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: good with going into twenty you know, nineteen, I don't know.

813
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: And so I think that's I think a lot of

814
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: it's going to revolve around those quarterbacks and and what

815
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: ends up slipping because you know, like you said, it's

816
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: a deep defensive tackle, defensive line class um. So if

817
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: you do want to go after someone like Lawrence, you know,

818
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: just that giant body, um that can that can eat

819
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: up space and help get some push into the pocket

820
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm passing down and think can help stuff to run that.

821
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, you don't see those guys a lot anymore

822
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: like we used to, or you know, as you said,

823
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: starting caliber safety. But I think even more than safety

824
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: corner just because of where the players are graded. I

825
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: think corner stands out to me a little more. If

826
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: Murphy's there, ready, Williams is there, as rock Yasine is there,

827
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: I think that's one where they might focus on a

828
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: little bit more. I wouldn't hate it. And you know

829
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: what I think too, When you have a pass rush

830
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: like the Chargers. You can never have enough good corners, right.

831
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen Desmond as a true nicol. DJ's

832
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: talked about him becoming a safety at some point in

833
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: his career. Who knows, but if you look, I have to, man,

834
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: I think that's and look in DJ obviously knows a

835
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: ton more than you and I do. So who that

836
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: are we to talk about it at may? Sure, the

837
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: nose for the Paul, the ability to diagnosed the angles

838
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: that he takes with the speed that he has been

839
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: clocked running. He's such a smart player to me, makes

840
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: so much sense to have him up there. But you know,

841
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: I understand. I brought it up the coach before. He

842
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: wasn't happy I did, but he made a great point.

843
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, he might be right, but man, that's

844
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: one of the best nickel corners in the league. I

845
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: don't want to take him away from there because now

846
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: what do I do at the nickel corner spot? So

847
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: you know, and you just said it. With the way

848
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: you know offenses are deployed nowadays, you gotta have that

849
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: nickel you have to or your toes. So I get it.

850
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: I get why it's a tough decision to make you

851
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: know another name. When I spoke to Matt Bowen at

852
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: at the combine, he predicted Derway like this was like

853
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: March first of twenty eighteen. He goes, all right, we're

854
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 1: doing this March first, but I'll just predict Irwin James

855
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: and the Chargers at seventeen overall. So I was like,

856
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: all right, man, if you do it again and you

857
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: predict it right, we'll get lottery tickets. He said. Julian

858
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: Love cornerback of Notre Dame to the Chargers at twenty

859
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: eight he said, maybe not first round potential yet, but

860
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: just waiting and see what happened. So I got my

861
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: own Julian Love as well. Money. Yeah. That's and look,

862
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: I think again people, because because defensive line is so flashy,

863
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: in corner really isn't. But we know how important it is.

864
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what's getting all the attention. And clearly,

865
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, you lose file on squares, a free agent,

866
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: legiance a free agent. You know. I think that's why

867
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: so many people are attaching that position. By the way,

868
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: let's not forget about the least sexy positioned in the draft.

869
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: Offensive line. You know, we know what what that offensive

870
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: line looked like last year and how it got away

871
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: from them there towards the end of the year, specifically

872
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: that Saturday night or against Baltimore. So you know, you

873
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: could see some talent slipped to them, and I think

874
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: that would be very hard for I wouldn't be surprised,

875
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: if you know. And that's the one thing, you know,

876
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: why does Tom Toiletsko do such a great job in

877
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: the draft, Because he doesn't ever draft for need. He

878
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: always takes the number one guy on his list. And

879
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: that's how you win drafts, you know, whomever it may be,

880
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: whatever position it may be. That's what they're doing, um,

881
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: you know. And it's how they got Mike Williams when

882
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: they already had Tyrell Williams who was coming off a

883
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: thousand yard season and Keenan Allen on the team. But

884
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: he's like that whatever, man like that good well. And

885
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: he also he's also said money, He's like, I don't

886
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what this team is gonna need in

887
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: three or four years, right, So it's like, you can't,

888
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: you can't. You're not drafting just for September twenty nineteen.

889
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: You're drafting for three four years down the line because

890
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: you got to you got a football team to worry about.

891
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: You just you're not like for us, I feel like

892
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: we're plugging holes in April and May and like, oh this,

893
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: well we needed this, so we're gonna draft this. It

894
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way, and it's never worked that way

895
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: for times like uh yeah, like a Cody Ford or

896
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: a Bradberry. If those guys slip, we'll surprise me at

897
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: all of that's what he does. Like whatever, man, you know,

898
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: we feel good about Forest Lamp coming back film, let's

899
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: plug in Ford. You can play tackle or you get

900
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: draft Bradberry, shift him over to you know, guard and

901
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: penalty is still your center and you're good like that

902
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: won't surprise me. And I think that's the bigness tough

903
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: about projecting the Chargers pick. That that's we don't know

904
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: what their vertical looks like. If they I don't even

905
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: know if Tom runs a vertical or not, But if

906
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: he runs a vertical one hundred or vertical one fifty

907
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, that's what they'll draft and

908
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: all because that's what they've done every year. Yep, well said,

909
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: and they've had a great track record of do it.

910
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 1: I think if you take out Melvin Ingram in twenty twelve,

911
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: who's a pro bowler. Talesco has drafted a an All

912
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: Pro or a pro bowler six straight years, six for six.

913
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 1: You know, Desmond King was the All Pro two years

914
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: ago coming out of the fifth round. So I mean

915
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: from rounds one to seven and an undrafted free agents. Uh,

916
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: Tom knows what he's still in. Bottom line, All right, money,

917
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just buzz through these because this

918
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: is the part of the schedule where the Chargers have

919
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: five divisional games over the last seven weeks. We just

920
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: talked about the Raiders, um Mexico City, the Chiefs. You know,

921
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: speaking of drafting good players, you gotta draft good players

922
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: because we know Patrick Mahomes is going to be a

923
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: thorn in the Charger side for a long time. Yeah,

924
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: and you know, interesting to see what they're going to

925
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: do on that defense. You know, no Houston, no Ford.

926
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: But now we're hearing some some rumors about them and

927
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: Frank Clark that they may be interested there and I

928
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: think that would be an upgrade and that would still

929
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: provide some some issues there. But you know, they got

930
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew back there. They let go of Barrett Berry,

931
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: that'll be a different look. I think the world of

932
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: Matthew would do so awesome, such a great playmaker. But

933
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 1: really the game comes down to Pat Mahomes and just

934
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: trying to get don't let that guy pacha Um. Don't

935
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: fall behind like they seen the fall behind the Chiefs,

936
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, every year, and then they managed to claw

937
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: back and then you know last year finally got over

938
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: that Hume. But man, you just cannot play that team

939
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: like that. They're too good. So I think, you know,

940
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: I think it's very similar to last year. You know,

941
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: this division's going to come down to these two teams.

942
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: And for the Chargers, they had it. You know, they

943
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: got that huge victory on Thursday night. They had a

944
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: chance to win that division and unfortunately it fell apart,

945
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: you know against Baltimore at home. So it's a huge

946
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: one to make sure you win your home game. Unfortunately,

947
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, their home game against you know, their

948
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: their chief rival, hard in the pun is going to

949
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: be you know, in another country. But them's the breaks,

950
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: and you know they'll just have to deal with it

951
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: and train and altitude. Man, I'll see in Colorado Springs. Yeah,

952
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 1: you know, those guys get winded and Andy Reid doesn't

953
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: feel like dragged his team to altitude to train to

954
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: get ready for it, and you can burn them out. Yeah,

955
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: and this is this is the game before the buying week.

956
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: Do you like the late by week twelve? I do?

957
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: You know what I do? I just you know I

958
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: don't like the early pie, that's for sure. So if

959
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 1: you tell me I can either get the early buy

960
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: or late by, give me the late by. Last year

961
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: was ideal. I smack in the middle of the seas

962
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: and you could not have asked for anything better. So

963
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's just kind of the way I look

964
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: at it. Is week seven or week eight, or you're

965
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to take the earlier time and I'll gladly

966
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: take it late to give these guys a breader Yeah,

967
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye week, think kind of get that,

968
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of get mini by too, right

969
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season with the Thursday nighter. Yeah,

970
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: you get that mini buy in there, and then a

971
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later you get your laid by. Yeah,

972
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: that's important to get that mini buy too. And I

973
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: know I realized that you have to sacrifice the Sunday

974
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: to Thursday too. I think it's Packers, then Raiders three

975
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: days later. But that mini buy in the middle of

976
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: the schedule is going to help. And coming out of

977
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: the bye you go to Denver. It didn't mean anything.

978
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, the Chargers won twenty three nine. Then Week

979
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: fourteen at Jacksonville a team. I don't know what to

980
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: make of the Jacksonville Jaguars money. I mean, if you

981
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 1: told me it was Jags Chargers going into twenty eighteen,

982
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: I beg, Oh, this is this is a game. Maybe

983
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: this is a primetime game. Yeah, now you know, well, look,

984
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: we don't know what Nick Foles is going to be.

985
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: Is Nick Foles an emergency quarterback that's good for three

986
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: or four weeks, or is Nick Foles someone you can

987
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: play a full season with? You know? Was it just

988
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: magic with Peterson and Foles and those two guys had

989
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: one of those rare coach QB relationships where they were

990
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: on the same wave length and were able to make

991
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: magic together. Don't know, you know, just do not know.

992
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: Because he thinks about how the season started for fulls

993
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: last year. It was a mess. Then he settled in

994
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: and had a strong finish so I'm not sure what

995
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: he's going to look like under a new coach, specifically Marone,

996
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: and what they're able to do together. Don't know if

997
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette's gonna, you know, wake up and mature a

998
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: little bit and be the runner that we saw for

999
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: the majority of his rookie year as opposed to a

1000
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: sophomore season where he was a mess and was a

1001
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: mess off the field as well, and seems to still

1002
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a mess off the field

1003
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: and as talented of a guy as he is. You know,

1004
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: we know what Tom Goplin's like. You don't put up

1005
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: with anybody's crap, So you know that'll be an interesting

1006
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: development to follow. The defense, we know how good it is,

1007
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 1: but no more Malie Jackson, Kalais Campbell's a year older.

1008
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: Like you said, I don't know, don't know, but all

1009
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: I know is I hate thinking about it because of

1010
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: how that played out in twenty seventeen and how big

1011
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: of a game that was that kept the Chargers out

1012
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: of the playoffs that year, when they picked off Lake

1013
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: Portals twice in the final five minutes and still managed

1014
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: to lose that game. And then last year we talked

1015
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: about earlier that that Denver game, just two games that

1016
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: the Charges could have been done one overall seat had

1017
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: they beaten the Broncos, and they would have snuck into

1018
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs over the Buffalo Bills, who they beat by

1019
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: thirty that year and and got in the wildcard twenty eighteen.

1020
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: So Week fifteen, Minnesota Chargers beat Kirk Cousins at Dignity

1021
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: Health Sports Park when he was a member of the

1022
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: Redskins two seasons before. In December, the second Sunday night

1023
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: football game for the Chargers, and it's the fourth that

1024
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: we currently know of because that Week sixteen game against

1025
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders that could potentially be an NFL Network prime

1026
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: time game perhaps, right, Vikings are nasty defensively, they are

1027
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: nasty wide receiver wise, might be the best duo in

1028
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: the league. It's certainly in the conversation team to deal with.

1029
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: And I think they're going to bounce back this year.

1030
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: I know it's Kirk takes a lot of incoming. I

1031
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: am glad that it's in primetimes, because it does seem

1032
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: like the bigger the stage, the worst he performs for

1033
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: whatever reason. So um, but I just I think that

1034
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: is such a good team top to bottom. And that's

1035
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough one. And let's see they

1036
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: were purple. It's late in the year, it's a primetime game.

1037
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: It very well made decide the fate of the Chargers,

1038
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: made the color not be as imposing and detrimental to

1039
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: their Super Bowl aspirations as it was this past season. Yes,

1040
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: good call, good call on that. Uh what we got here?

1041
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: Week sixteen versus Oakland talks about the Raiders we don't

1042
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: know yet and in Week seventeen. These are always interesting

1043
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 1: because it could mean absolutely nothing. I think the schedule

1044
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: makers mean everything. It could mean everything, and you know what,

1045
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: it could get flexed. I mean this is at Arrowhead

1046
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: December twenty ninth, ten AMS, a CBS game, But it

1047
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: could mean something that get flexed, right, and not get

1048
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: flexed because don't they played them all at the same time. Now,

1049
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 1: if they're so, I guess what you're saying, is it

1050
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: a good push back? But remember any game that has

1051
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: playoff implications, they want them all played at the exact

1052
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: same time. Now, you're right, I guess I'm thinking, like

1053
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: if it's like if it's like a winner take all

1054
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: like last year was like Tennessee, Indianapolis. It's like the

1055
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: winner gets into the playoffs or was it division something

1056
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: like that. But you're right, you're right, it probably wouldn't

1057
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: get flex because of that. Yeah, so they'll they'll keep

1058
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: those all the same. Yeah. I mean, look, you're going

1059
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: to Kansas City. It's going to be cold as all

1060
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: get out. It's the most hostile atmosphere that the Charger

1061
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: space in any given season. And I suspect, you know,

1062
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, barring unforeseen injury circumstances, these are the two

1063
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: best teams in the division. And I do think they're

1064
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: pretty darn even as we saw last year when they

1065
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: both finished with the twelve and four record and each

1066
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: of them won a game on the other's field. I

1067
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: don't know why I wouldn't think it's going to be

1068
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: the same. That's a good team that's well coached, has

1069
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: them ep of the league playing quarterback, and look, you know,

1070
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: that's that's what it comes down to. You got to

1071
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: go through them, and if that's what you got to

1072
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: do to win the division, then go do it, you know,

1073
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: and and have home field throughout the postseason and make

1074
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: your way to the super Bowl. But I love it.

1075
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it, and I love that the schedule

1076
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: makers did that. I would have much preferred that. Well,

1077
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: I guess you can because it's the international game, but

1078
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: you know that it not be in Tansas City at

1079
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: the end of December, because it seems like we always

1080
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City in December the last This will

1081
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 1: be the third year in a row where we go,

1082
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: and at least it's not a night game like we've

1083
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: got the last two years. Yeah, exactly. And you know,

1084
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: do you think that the fact that they won there

1085
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: gives them a little bit of confidence going into twenty

1086
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: nineteen because it was an eight or nine or row

1087
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: you lose to win in the fashion they did in

1088
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: December on that stage, I feel like it's got to

1089
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: give them a little confidence to know they can go

1090
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: anywhere and beat anybody. It's certainly nice to have gotten

1091
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: that monkey off their back, But obviously by the time

1092
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: they play that game, they will have fifteen games of

1093
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 1: momentum or lack thereof to lean on in that particular contest.

1094
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: But I do think you make a good point because

1095
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: they won't have to answer the question. You know, when

1096
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: they're sitting with Nance and Romo, they're not gonna have

1097
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: to be asked, well, it's nine in a row now

1098
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: that you have not one here, what do you got

1099
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: to do to get to you know, they don't have

1100
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: to answer it. It's hey, talk about a game for

1101
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: the Ages last year and it conjious positive thinking, you know,

1102
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: and positive memories, and that's I think that's a big

1103
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: deal for them because I know Philip hate and answering

1104
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: those questions, but you have to ask them, so to

1105
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: not have to deal with that, I think is certainly

1106
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: a positive. Schedule speculation with Matt money Smith on April seventeenth,

1107
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,800
