If you're not into the whole brevity thing, 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.600 here with a breakdown of all the moves teams in 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.240 the division made ahead of twenty twenty six. Don't worry. 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.240 This isn't ai as intelligent as it claims to be. 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.400 I guarantee it doesn't understand Lebowski. But we're not here 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.840 to talk about the dude. Denver, the reigning champs, Sean Payton, 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.920 Bownicks and a ferocious defense all back with the Penguin 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.960 added to their offense, so they don't expect to drop off. 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.160 Chargers feel like they have the d and if Justin 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.400 Herbert gets a full year with their starting tackles, new 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.800 OC Mike McDaniel could really work some magic. Patrick mahomes 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.760 back behind center for KC. Can they revert to dynasty 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.159 form and Vegas has to decide if number one overall 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.680 pick Fernando Mendoza is ready right away. If not, Captain 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:58.320 Kirk gets to guide them until he's ready. Football football, 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.200 Las Vegas Raiders three and fourteen and twenty twenty five got. 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.960 A practice with the art of being calm best. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.200 Too good enough for the first overall pick at least 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.520 and a new head coach. So let some light shine 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:14.840 on the black hole, won't you? 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:16.280 Yeah? Come on? 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:16.480 Man? 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:22.039 Who Pete Carroll Gino Smith experiment lasted one year? Done 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.440 that time, big boy yup Income's former Seattle o ce 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:34.959 Clint Kubiak, along with two new quarterbacks to choose from 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.120 the higher profile of the two, the number one overall 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.520 pick in the draft. Fernando Mendoza of. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.440 Watching NFL football on Sundays. So I watched a lot 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.840 of coach Kubiak, and then when I was drafted a 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.559 guy here, I was able to get the playbook. However, 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.760 going now to be in the facility and having access 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.240 to the film and seeing the application, seeing Kirk Cousins 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.200 do a back in Minnesota, seeing Sam Darnold do last 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.240 year in Seattle, see the application and what it's, how 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.400 it's supposed to be executed, and what it's done at 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.960 a high level, is really beneficial for my development. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.519 Don't you go pulling in JaMarcus now? If they want 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.320 to let him watch, they can also let Kirk captain 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.160 the ship. Do you like that? The Cousin signing has 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.840 lots of good years on paper to the end zone day, 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.120 but fel But hasn't ever taken his team to place 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.320 as other men have gone before, in this case, deep 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.200 into the playoffs. Cousins has just tied Johnny Unitas for 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.440 seventeenth all time in NFL history with his two hundred 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.639 and ninetieth career touchdown, past Kubiak, the second former Hawks 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.240 coach in a row to take over in Vegas thirty 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.440 plus years younger. So you're not going to see him 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.000 at the penny slots at one of those old school joints. 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.360 A great challenge, Yeah, there have been, There have been 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.600 plenty of other coaches, but but why not us? Why 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.800 not this staff? You know, why not this group of players? 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:53.640 So if you look at it, if you look at 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.079 it in a lens of you know, there's a history 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:57.840 of some you know, guys that are in and out 0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:58.600 of here pretty quick. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.160 I look at it. You know what, A great challenge 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.880 can't go anywhere? Butt up. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.000 Smith hands it to Jenny in the end zone, and 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.200 as a rock who might have him in. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.639 The end zone, their offense last in scoring and yards 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:11.560 per game, batt it. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.640 Into the secondary, picks up at the five. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:15.880 So the bar is low. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.480 Bit sacks another one. Fuck a collapsed man. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:27.960 He's coming down like most tavern level low Mendoza and 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.760 or cousins aren't trying to fill side show Bob's sized shoes. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.720 Other beautiful interception of Geno Smith. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.600 Gino led the NFL in interceptions with seventeen. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:39.720 Hopped up in the air intercepted. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.600 They better hope their line gives whoever is back there 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.200 more time than it gave Smith. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.680 Now he's rushed in down Ego. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.520 Vegas quarterbacks took sixty four sacks, most in the NFL. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.280 You know gets away and how he's sacked at twenty five. 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.080 Left tackle Colton Miller missed most of the year. Left 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.920 tackle Stone Forsyth fourteen sacks allowed. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.000 It comes Bonito and Benito's gott Gino and down Smith. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.920 Goes right tackle DJ Glaze should stick to scratching and 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.400 mixing if he's not gonna block. Better gave up twelve 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:11.280 and a half sacks. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.640 Man oh Man and Nick Benito get in their fast. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.200 This is why they spent big the land former Ravens 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.480 center Tyler Linderbaum. But Glaze returns and he needs to rebound. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.559 Miller hopefully rebounds from his injury. They also drafted guard 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.240 Trey Zoon in the third round, so they have some options. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.279 Hoping the new group can open up more lanes too. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.040 With today Come on maybe. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.560 Who Ashton Genty only averaged three point seven to carry. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.880 Ow's the show that Holy cow, he's a little bowling 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:43.320 ball bo. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.640 He was hit within a yard of the line of scrimmage. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.200 Does it on fifty four percent of his attempts, the 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.240 third highest rate among running backs with at least one 0:04:55.279 --> 0:05:01.520 hundred carries.

Eric Stokes the other. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.280 Eric Stokes, who has been sensational on the back end 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:41.920 of the defense. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.920 Corner Cayu Blue Kelly allowed four touchdowns, isn't coming back. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.880 He did pick off three passes. 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.640 I picked off of the forty five gordline. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.120 It's Kelly again. 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:58.160 They have Tarn Johnson now longtime bill, longtime stud nickel 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.360 corner Taron Johnson, one of the elite Nichols in the NFL. 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:03.600 Broke it up and. 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.319 They drafted corner Trade and Stukes in the second round. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.600 Someone that can play in the nickel, someone can play 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.760 as that high free safety, and some teams even thought 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:15.080 he could kick outside and play corner. He got hurt previously. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:16.839 That's why he's a six year player. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:17.520 In twenty twenty four. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.360 Missed the first four games, but man, when you watched him, 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:20.640 he was. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.439 Impressive because the versatility of ball skills safeties. Jeremy Chin 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.839 made up for his poor play versus the pass by 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.760 making over one hundred tackles. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.600 And right there to stop Harvey for a short losses. 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:32.640 Jeremy Chin. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.080 Safety Isaiah Paulamu allowed a team high five tds and 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.400 a right close to one twenty, but did make ninety 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:43.000 two tackles and picked off two passes. Change at kicker 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.839 Daniel Carlson had a rough go of it, missed five 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.680 of his twenty seven field goal tries, so they signed 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.520 Matt Gay missed six field goals for Washington. Started the 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.120 year with San Francisco, so not coming off a great 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.240 year either. This is what it all looks like on 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.800 paper on your screen. In this case, Stu and Johnson 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.000 the new guys in the dB room who are in 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.720 line to see significant snap counts. The rest of the 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.600 starters are returning raiders who have to come together Beatles 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.959 style to improve their play versus the past three new 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.760 starters expected with their front seven pay for Wilson off 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.320 the edge, Crawford part of the rotation as well. Walker 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.800 and Dean take over the inside linebacker jobs previously held 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.800 by White and Roberts, Cousins and Mendoza battling for the 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:32.800 right to replace Gino, Genti, Naylor, Beash, Tucker, Bowers, and Mayer. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.240 The guys that are expected to make plays and give 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.600 their o face a much needed boost. Raiders strength of 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.160 schedule based on their opponents twenty twenty six expected win 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.640 totals middle of the pack. The Jahwas who live out 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.720 in the desert, have the Raiders as a five to 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.320 six win team. What's an optimistic take on their season 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.439 with the schedule they face. Start off with a win 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.000 over Miami. Take the Saints and maybe the Chiefs aren't 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.679 really any better than they were last year. Beat them 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.040 on the strip. The Jets and their old quarterbacks seem beatable. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.280 Brown's not expected to be much better, so a win there. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.160 This is an optimistic view, So an upset over the 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.840 Chargers get Dubs versus Tennessee and Arizona for eight wins 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.720 under the new regime. That would provide hope that things 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.760 are headed in the right direction. The game preview guy 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.000 Roulette wheel went round and round and the little ball 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.880 landed on the south side of six wins. Not sure 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.319 that defense will be good enough to take pressure off 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.480 the offense, which should be better under Kubiak. But their 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:37.280 division opponents plus New England Buffalo, the Rams, Niners Seahawks, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.480 makes eleven games alone. They will play as underdogs. Denver 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.520 Broncos reigning AFC West champs after winning fourteen games in 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:46.440 twenty twenty five. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.400 The Mile High City is alive. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.600 Made it to the doorstep of the big Dance. Now 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.720 it's time to see if they're ready to make it in. 0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:01.120 Oh. We work war runners, we work barbners. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.800 Equipped with a defense plenty worthy of Orange Crush membership. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.120 Everything you've got right, I think you've got. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.720 Going on an offensive line harder to get past than 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.880 the wall around city Walk in South Park. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:16.800 Touch it is. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.920 Denver just needs the players behind that wall to put 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.080 up a few more points a game and they'd be 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.840 as super Bowl worthy as any team in the NFL. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.920 Not that they weren't. Last year. There was progress. Twenty 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.520 three points per game isn't terrible. 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.720 You talk about a clutch drive, But just like I said, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:38.960 we've seen it before. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.400 This year they were top ten good on third down 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:42.920 and in yards per game to. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:48.440 The corner of the Enzo pass to files Touchdow. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.800 Denver didn't the Mongolians tear that wall down fairly easily. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.120 I want a measurement. I want a measurement justice. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.480 No matter Sean Payton is allowing oc Davis Webb to 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.600 you know, be in oc and actually call the I 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.840 want to go forth, which my best fourth down call 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.680 is that bow Nicks's quarterback comes off a thirty TV campaign. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.040 Who's on the run past. That's the goal line talk 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.640 touchdown Denver, Cortland. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.840 Sutton twenty five with his arm twenty five plus both 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:15.960 years in the show's fall. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.160 He's got a white open receiver Harvey at the goal 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.920 line touchdown. 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.960 Denver, over two hundred and thirty one yards per game 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:22.760 last season. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.400 Mixed a deep drop, looks left, throws the ball.

The offense was good, but to be 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.680 great need to be more consistent. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.760 Both loads it up, floats on. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.600 He's got John from the touch. 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.720 Especially when you have a line like. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.200 Theirs, God keep them going. I can move off all day. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.640 Not one guy on their O line with four sacks. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:02.320 Allowed, most one towards the end, open receiver catch into 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.000 the hands out touchdown Denver. 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:05.520 That is Cartland Sutton. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.560 Their line only blamed for sixteen of the twenty three 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:09.920 sacks they took all the year. 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.000 Have to throw steps up, fires over the middle. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:16.200 Pat It's taught touchdown Denver if you was taken in 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.240 the NFL.

Okay, Well, 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.200 if we were looking at the screen on one of 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.560 those old stand up video games, d E. N would 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.919 be listed over and over again in the top ten 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.119 on the defensive side. 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:26.240 Steff Farms defender. 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.080 But he can't get away with an ass mixed in 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.639 there somewhere. I'm sure they don't give noble. 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.119 It doesn't matter, don't they'll get noble. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.680 They held teams to eighteen points per game, third fewest. 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.399 Takes ahead and ball knocked free and I done it. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:42.560 Let's go off. 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.840 A second on third down and yards per game. 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:49.640 Look at him diving in front. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.720 There's a reason why he was Defensive Player of the 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.760 Year last year that no. 0:19:55.840 --> 0:20:03.159 Team stingier in the red zone.

Allen and Benito Converge. 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.600 Hit the passer a whopping forty seven times as a 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:26.040 defensive end in a three four defense. I can't overstate 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:27.240 how beast that is. 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:31.920 And that's the second sack today by the Broncos. Zach 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:32.920 Allen gets this one. 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.720 He sealed the deal seven times. Comes off a first 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:37.200 team All Pro seventh year. 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.679 Stroud looking pocket collapsing. 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:40.879 He's in trouble and. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:41.560 I got him. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.920 They have four guys coming off seven plus sax seasons. 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.720 If it's what he's gonna be, sack now and treble 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:49.760 Pierre Lets, he's gonna be sack Ark, is gonna be 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.080 spyroun and grabbed at midfield. 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:56.760 That's five sacks. 0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:57.600 Love to the Bronco. 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.920 John Franklin Myers no longer in mix. Seven and a 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.159 half sacks from the inside last year. 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.680 A sack by John Franklin Myers. 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.720 Still loaded, though Jonathan Cooper eight plus sacks three years 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.360 in a row, tuned into the o Cho last year, 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.200 his fifth in the NFL. But Jonathan Cooper the first 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.639 one then to bring him down in the backfield once more. 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:20.080 And that will surely do it. 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.040 They had four other guys who racked the quarterback at 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:24.360 least four times. 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.160 Three l pro coost School at the White Jersey. 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.840 Second nose tackle Malcolm Roach in the pot with a 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:32.400 career high four to twelve games, two starts. 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:35.320 It's alsfect. 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.080 Andrea Tillman with four coming off the bench in his 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.280 second year after a five sacked rookie year. He's like 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:42.680 a really good sixth man. 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.920 In hoops Tilman and a loss of nine. 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:57.800 Even their corners shop Jaquan Millon four bags the dfense 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:05.360 along with two iron t's and a low seventies rate versus. 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.280 The pass, Oh baby, they con according to. 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.879 League corner Riley Moss a sub ninety rate, leading the 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:16.399 NFL with nineteen passes defensed in his third year of works. 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:17.600 The middle intercepted. 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.880 That's boss kind of buried the cornerback lead here. 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:24.960 May he loads it up home r ball down the 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:25.720 east sideline. 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:27.600 That is not for twenty years. 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:35.840 The pass or tan the second a low seventies rate, that's. 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:39.400 What I expect flu every day, not sometimes all the time. 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:43.120 Just another ho home stellar year from the human eraser. 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:46.280 Immediately not half his feet A big hit by passer. 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.800 Tan Zadei Baron allowed a triple digit rate to quarterbacks 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.080 as a rookie did come up with his first pick. 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:53.800 They think he's a star in waiting. 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:59.159 Rockos able to take it away with Jade Baron. 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.480 All three of their safeties tough on quarterbacks as well. 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.960 Talanoa Hufunga a hit in his first year in Orange, 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:09.280 over one hundred tackles while holding his targets to a 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.919 low eighties rate. Eleven passes knocked down and. 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:16.320 The way they go and Smith's gonna get sacked worst 0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:17.359 of all outcomes. 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.880 Brandon Jones not one touchdown allowed in his fourteen games 0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:22.400 play the low fifties rate. 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.399 It may bring five hit if he throws, deflected it 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.400 in intercepted, it gets picked off on the play. 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.200 Brandon Jones on the ricochet. 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.359 And Denver's defense the second hardest team to run on. 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:37.680 There were no weaknesses to try and take advantage of. 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:47.119 Alex Singleton back to his tackle monster ways one thirty 0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:49.879 five last year, one twenty plus and five of the 0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:50.680 last six. 0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.960 He's down for a loss, with Alex Singleton there to 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:54.520 make the play. 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:58.000 Justin Sternad played his way into a new contract four 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:03.880 and a half sacks, close to sixty tackle, getting more 0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:06.879 playing time due to green Law's absence, and they're happy 0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:10.399 with will Lutz's toe perfect on extra points twenty eight 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.480 to thirty two one field goal attempts. 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:15.000 And denverst over to the FC championship. 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:18.560 Did very little changed with that defense, no need for 0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.719 even a nip and a tuck secondary Hufunga and Jones 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:26.000 at safety, McMillan PS two, Moss Baron at corner, still 0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:30.360 Franklin Myers the only loss to the front seven Alan Jones, 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:34.000 Roach mucking it up on the inside, Cooper, Ellis, Bonito, 0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:38.760 Tellman off the edges, Sternod and Singleton handling inside linebacking duties. 0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:42.760 Waddle the one big change on offense. Didn't lose anyone though, 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:47.679 Joins Sutton, Franklin, Mems Bryant, Little Jordan Humphrey at wide receiver, 0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:51.280 the troutman Ingram Duo at tight end, still Dobbins and 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:55.040 Harvey at running back, Nicks at quarterback. Denver probably the 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.199 team that tinkered the least with its roster this offseason. 0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.520 They're twenty twenty six. I could strength the schedule isn't 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:02.640 overly hard either. 0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:03.560 That's when you. 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:07.640 Average their opponents expected win totals out. Here's who they play. 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.680 Let's play the ceiling game, adjusting them to a ten 0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:14.600 win type team. They beat Jacksonville at home, the Hawks 0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:18.400 since it's in Denver, Arizona down the Chiefs at home, 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:24.199 take Carolina, Vegas, Pittsburgh, Miami. The Jets clean Vegas up, 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.879 defeat Buffalo since it's a home game, and finish with 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:31.720 wins over New England and the Chargers. That's thirteen wins. 0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:34.240 And if you want to argue, they can sweep Kansas 0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:36.760 City and it's more like a fourteen win ceiling Who 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:39.480 could argue? I can't see great out of this bag, 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:42.359 but I see them getting to ten Doves. Defense is 0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.520 still elite and Penguins thrive in cold climates. 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.920 Right as the hell of an opportunity, the hell of opportunity. 0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:53.240 We are, Kansas City Chiefs twenty twenty five. Well, remember 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.800 that Citizen Kane song. I've seen better days. I've been 0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.680 the star of many plays. I've seen better days in 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:03.320 the bottom drops out. That was Chiefs football last season. 0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:06.480 I read more see you can tell it's AI because 0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:13.200 it mistook Citizen Kane and Citizen King Andy Reid. Patrick Mahomes, 0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:17.440 Welcome to Vince Lombardi, Bart Star nineteen sixty eight, Chuck 0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.560 nol Terry Bradshaw nineteen eighty. 0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:21.160 We're going We're right back on it. We're right back 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:21.399 on it. 0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:24.760 Somebody shot Jr. And your dynasty ended. 0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:26.920 And we're gonna stay aggressing. We're going to stay aggressing 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:27.240 the game. 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:29.480 Let's go twenty one points per game. 0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.359 The ball off of his hand, right hand and shoulder 0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.960 and into the arms of Andrew mccooba. 0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.280 Twentieth in yards per game over the air. That picked 0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.520 up like to be where to dart twenty second on 0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:41.520 third down. 0:27:41.560 --> 0:27:44.000 It's knocked out and and jump play. 0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.280 A far cry from what their offense was producing at 0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:55.960 its peak, Shouter, And it's been two straight years of 0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:57.680 subpar offensive output. 0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:01.520 So the Chiefs turn it over for a second consecutive possession. 0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:09.040 Patrick Mahomes twenty two touchdowns touchdowns, a career low, a 0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:10.200 sub ninety rate. 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.679 All night, dominate everything opportunity. 0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:17.639 Career low completed sixty two percent of his passes. Those 0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:23.879 fall to his second Guess what career low? His O 0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:26.680 line has a first team All Pro at center and 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:27.520 Creed Humphrey. 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.160 God, that's a good second half. 0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:31.320 How about a minute? 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:34.040 Cut it up man Josh Simmons looked solid as a 0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.080 rookie left tackle when healthy. 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:44.240 Touchdown He's dot was wild ten days running the football, but. 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:47.280 He was one of three starters that spent multiple games hurt. 0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:51.360 Casey gave up forty seven sacks. Mahomes took thirty four 0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:54.560 in his fourteen games, second most times he's been dumped 0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:55.520 in a single season. 0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.120 That will be sacked back at the eleven yard. 0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:02.160 They finally cut ties the laundry king right tackle Juwan 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:05.360 Taylor won't be lined up next to Mahomes anymore. The 0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:09.880 projected starting five All Chiefs last year. Jalen Moore expected 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:13.040 to replace Taylor at right tackle. He made six starts 0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:15.680 last season and gave up three and a half sacks, 0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:18.160 which was tied for the most on the team. Even 0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:20.840 though the rest of that group played roughly two hundred 0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:23.960 more snaps, none of them allowed Mahomes to get dropped 0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:27.920 four times. President of the SWIFTYE Fan Club, Travis Kelcey. 0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:30.160 We'll get up on some point over. 0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:31.880 Eight hundred and fifty yards find so on. 0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:34.920 W Outen Kelfy Travis Kelsey. 0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:37.200 Touchdown five tds. 0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:43.560 I know he's at the end of the road. 0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:47.040 More we got we all keep him doing it, though, and. 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:48.840 He's had much better years. 0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:52.720 Such the Chiefs all time touchdown Rucker. 0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:54.240 But not a lot of tight ends are good for 0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:55.760 those kind of digits. 0:29:55.520 --> 0:30:00.440 Three miles an hour New York Movie fifteen. 0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:03.400 Maybe give Rashi Rice a full year and he should 0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:06.320 be an eleven hundred plus yard double digit TD guy. 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:14.440 Touchdown five hundred seventy one yards. Really five tds in 0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:15.960 just eight games last year. 0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:19.520 Todd left side Rice angling touchdown. 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.520 Five hundred and thirty two yards for xavier' worthy. 0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:24.600 It's a block he gets one now two. 0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:27.120 Turning on the. 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.960 Speed, Taekwon Thornton, the deep threat over four hundred yards 0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:33.200 on just nineteen catches mass is. 0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:36.200 Todd Taekwon Thornton touchdown. 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.560 They go forth without Hollywood Brown gave him close to 0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.640 six hundred yards and five tds tot touchdown. Could we 0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.800 see a new and improved k C Rush attack? Biggest 0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:49.959 ad of the off season was signing Kenneth Walker off 0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:53.240 his Super Bowl MVP performance went for over one thousand 0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:56.200 yards during the regular season, nine hundred plus yards in 0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:57.440 three of his four years. 0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.440 By Kay is so good. He's got the stop start, 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:02.680 but his feet are always moving. 0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:06.160 He takes over the void left by Isaiah Pacheco Casey 0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:10.000 starter most games last year over four hundred yards under 0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:11.320 four yards per carry. 0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:14.640 So protect what the touchdown? 0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:18.560 So was Kareem Hunt, who's also gone. He led the 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.240 team with over six hundred yards and eight ds. 0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:24.800 Touchdown. It's a lucy. 0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:26.880 Offense in the end, has some spleaning to. 0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:29.000 Do good cut what what I'm here to go? 0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:32.640 And improving to do with Walker being the only new part. 0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:35.000 Why the gods to right by the way to get 0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:35.920 away chase. 0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:39.600 To their defense. The primary reason they stayed close in 0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:43.720 so many games, held teams to nineteen a game, the 0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:50.600 tenth fewest yards per game allowed d and eighth best 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:51.200 inside the. 0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.960 Twenty defense pitching a shutout here. 0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.520 The secondary was the strength held quarterbacks to an eighty 0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.960 nine rating, a nice low six to seven attempt That's 0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:03.360 a good thing in this case, fewer than two hundred 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.120 yards per game, giving up only eighteen passing touchdowns allowed. 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:11.400 That's top five good. They head into twenty twenty six 0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:14.320 without their top two to twenty twenty five corners, though 0:32:14.680 --> 0:32:18.520 corner Jalen Watson two sacks two interceptions didn't allow a 0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:19.920 single touchdown. 0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:22.640 That accepted by Jolen Watson. 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:25.360 And of course they traded Trent McDuffie to LA. 0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:29.600 This is a pick going the other way and it's McDuffie. 0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.920 Which is why they felt compelled to trade up in 0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:34.800 the first round to get corner. Monsieur Delaine. 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.080 I remember when you go back to when McDuffie was 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:37.560 coming out. 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:38.720 It's like he's a perfect player. 0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:41.360 He just doesn't have that rare size and length McDuffie. 0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.800 We know what he's become. I see some similarities here. 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:46.640 He is always in phase, very sticky in man coverage. 0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:49.440 You referenced this game against Clemson CD. You couldn't slip 0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:50.720 a piece of paper between. 0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:51.720 Him and the receivers in that game. 0:32:51.800 --> 0:32:52.360 He was out. 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:57.240 Stanley joins youngster Chris Rowland. Wallace eleven games, only two starts, 0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:57.880 but came up with. 0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.760 Pick that's intercepting nor A Moss. 0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:04.360 Cornerback Christian Fulton only played eight games, but a low 0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:06.400 eighties rate and six passes defense. 0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:09.400 Christian Fulton comes up from the secondary to knock them down. 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.440 Liked what they saw from corner Noel Williams. Only five 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.720 starts yet seven passes defensed in a mid seventies rate. 0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:16.880 Stroud in the middle. 0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:20.120 It is nearly and maybe intercepted. I'm thinking hit the 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:21.760 ground did hit the ground? Ain't complete. 0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.640 They also have a new safety in a lowhi Gilman 0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:28.920 nine passes knocked down ninety raps between Baltimore and LA 0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:29.520 last year. 0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:31.680 Hello Gilman and mc bill picked up. 0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:35.520 He takes Brian Cook's spot, gave them eighty five tackles, 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:37.120 though knocked down six passes. 0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.160 Nice job breaking it up by Cook. 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:42.960 Tamari Connor tackled one hundred and seventeen dudes, two of 0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:43.920 them quarterbacks. 0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:46.280 WS go the time, but look at this. 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.520 Connor comes up their backside. Did not get a ton 0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:53.120 of help from their front. Twenty second in sacks, nineteenth 0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:55.720 in pressure rate, and they blitzed more than your average 0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:56.840 bear right over. 0:33:56.760 --> 0:33:57.880 The defender's head. 0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:02.800 Oh my goodness, anybody Chris Jones eight up seven Pickinnick 0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:05.920 Baskets led the team in sacks and quarterback hits. 0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:08.799 Every game name every game mean much more. 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:12.160 George of the Jungle car loftis their only other threat. 0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.719 And na back at the seven yard line, so what 0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:15.320 is he going to do? 0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:18.680 The Smurf's next Carl loftis only six sacks, but twenty 0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:21.359 three quarterback hits isn't bad. But the rest of their 0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.839 front didn't do much sack wise, so they used their 0:34:24.920 --> 0:34:27.560 other first rounder on defensive tackle, Peter Woods. 0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:29.359 The quickness is what you're buying here. 0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:31.280 Some of the comparisons were to Byron Murphy. 0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:33.880 I think Byron Murphy's a little stronger, less stouter, but 0:34:34.040 --> 0:34:36.279 the similarity and that that quickness and they're ability to 0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:37.080 get up the field. 0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:38.640 He's got tons of range. 0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:41.399 And they dropped a second rounder on defensive end are 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:42.280 Mason Thomas. 0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.800 They get someone who can really be a fastball and 0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:49.279 fly off the edge and plays with unbelievable energy and tenacity. 0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:51.160 And our Mason Thomas coming. 0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:52.719 Off the edge, you see his ability. He can win 0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:55.200 up top or if you're going to overset him, he's 0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.440 going to be able to get right inside your shoulder 0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.880 and win on the short path to the quarterback. 0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:03.760 Defensive tackle Ashton Galotti returns one and a half sacks 0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:09.399 seventeen games, two starts. They hope all those guys hold 0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:12.000 the line against runners the way last year's group did. 0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:13.720 They held him to four a carry. 0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:16.520 Scrap his look suck. 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:21.120 Nick Bolton was everywhere. Six passes defense, ten tackles for 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:24.080 loss and over one hundred and fifty tackles. Watch If, 0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:27.759 known for his ability against the run, great instincts, gets 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:31.560 his hands under it. Drew Trankwell, a fellow triple digit 0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:34.360 tackle guy, ten behind the line of scrimmage. 0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:36.080 I love that Loos. 0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:38.120 They'll get a loss of two yards. 0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:41.879 Still rocking with Harrison, Butker at kicker not the best year, 0:35:42.040 --> 0:35:45.439 missed five field goals and four extra points. But there's 0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:49.520 ten ths God, So here's the look from above. Secondary 0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:52.560 will look quite a bit different Delayane from mcduffy. They 0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:56.160 brought in Cater Kohu too, who was hurt all last year, 0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:59.080 had a couple of good seasons for Miami. This will 0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:03.000 be his year. Five Williams should see more snaps, Gilman 0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:06.000 for Cook at safety. Couple changes to the front seven 0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:10.359 Carloftis Jones, the known commodities, Thomas and Woods, the two 0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.640 rookies they hope can shine right away. Bolton and Trank 0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:17.879 will returning as the starting middle linebackers and the offensive playmakers, 0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:22.280 Hunt Pacheco and Hollywood departing Walker the only new face 0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:25.480 expected to play a prominent role. They're basically banking on 0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:29.520 Mahomes Kelsey Worthy in Thornton to produce at a higher 0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:32.719 level than last year. What might the Walrus have up 0:36:32.760 --> 0:36:34.960 his sleeve for this year to give them a spark? 0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:38.680 Will the schedule help? They have the tenth easiest trek 0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:42.000 if you account for their opponents twenty twenty six expected 0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:45.360 win totals and with their own expectation being placed in 0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:48.560 the ten to eleven range, it tees up a solid ceiling. 0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:51.840 But when you look at their schedule it looks pretty daunting. 0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:55.040 Just know their expected strength of schedule is on the 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:59.400 easy side due to having Vegas twice, Miami, Arizona, and 0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:03.160 the Jet. Their first six opponents have over under marks 0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.040 below theirs. They play Seattle on the road, so give 0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:08.680 them a loss there. The second bout with Denver is 0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:11.760 a road tilt. Then it's the Jets, Falcons and Cards 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:15.880 before road games in Buffalo and La. Cincinnati's on the 0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:19.080 road too, Pats and forty nine Ers are at arrowhead 0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:22.160 at least still. That run from week twelve against the 0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:25.200 Bills to week seventeen, which is on the road versus 0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:28.359 the Chargers is quite the gauntlet. Had one of those 0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:31.760 mystics read the palms of my hands showed ten wins, 0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:34.879 which falls under their ten and a half over under mark, 0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:38.920 something about their complacency this offseason at wide receiver just 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:41.840 seemed odd. But maybe my hands were dirty when she 0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:42.600 checked him out. 0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:43.480 What's that a statement? 0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:43.600 Bro? 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:45.799 We got enough look around like always. 0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:47.719 Tell y'all happy tut a back full quarter, Bro, this 0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:49.600 was gonna be fun with all y'all. 0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:49.719 Bro. 0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:51.080 Okay love. 0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:54.160 La. 0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:57.680 Chargers eleven and six a year ago, another playoff showing 0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:01.399 another first round exit, but hope of bounds. If their 0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:04.960 pillars for protection can stay up all of twenty twenty six, 0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:07.160 they think they have a shot to play for the 0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:09.560 silver football in their home stadium. 0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:11.160 Believe in it? Do you believe? 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:15.120 This might be the first season preview we've ever started 0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:20.440 talking about hog Mally's aka Big Uglies aka O linemen, 0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:23.400 two of them specifically at the center of the conversation. 0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:27.200 At the center really of LA's twenty twenty six offensive outlook. 0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:31.279 Left tackle Rareshaun Slater missed all of twenty twenty five. 0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:35.480 Right tackle Joe all missed eleven games. The pair would 0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:37.719 have been in the debate for best tackled duo in 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:38.440 the NFL. 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:41.880 You gotta be good from run out from this moment. 0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:46.839 Right instead, Justin Herbert is knowledgeable about different grasses as 0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:52.759 Chiech and chong Rber dropped back. He's only one team 0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:57.680 allowed a higher pressure rate. LA's QBS planted sixty times that. 0:38:57.800 --> 0:38:59.799 He's knocked out at sacked five secs. 0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:03.759 Game on Herbert, six different guys gave up five and 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:04.720 a half sacks. 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:06.520 Hey, hey, downt a go. 0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:10.200 They had backups drop out her It was like watching 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:13.680 a techmobile game where the person playing defense guesses the 0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:14.319 right play. 0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:16.960 This is easily the worst game of his career. 0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:19.960 Their poor o line play really standing out in the 0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:22.759 red zone, where they were twenty ninth, which left them 0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:24.840 with a twenty one point per game average. 0:39:25.160 --> 0:39:28.000 We got a gay point. We got good point, brot 0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:29.560 we got a good point. 0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:31.440 Hey, we got good points right too. 0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.760 They grabbed a new guard in the draft, Jake Slaughter, 0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:37.880 second rounder, not sure if he's related to that sergeant 0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:39.839 guy or not. They let's set him as a guard. 0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:41.720 He was a center there at Florida. 0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:44.799 But they signed Tyler Biattish in free agency, so they're 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.000 gonna give him a whirl at guard. Remember Mike mc 0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:49.440 daniel's new offense there, new coordinator. 0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:51.359 They're gonna really value. 0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:53.640 Guys to see that last note, quick to the second level. 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:57.240 Getting out in space, you're gonna see very athletic offense 0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:00.239 applying for the Chargers, getting those two tackles back, and 0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:02.640 you've also got a fallback. You had an injury at center, 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:04.279 Slaughter can kick inside and do that. 0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:08.680 They also signed guard Cole Strange former Dolphin and got 0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:12.160 a badass at center. And Tyler was with Washington last year. 0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:14.040 You know that's not how you say it, but it's 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.960 how I say it. When you account for Slater and 0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:19.560 Alt's lack of playing time, it's like they have a 0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.560 brand new line for twenty twenty six. If they can 0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:25.440 hold the line better, they feel like all the needed 0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:26.480 pieces are in place. 0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:28.480 Makes a shot to the ends up for a copy 0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:30.319 touch stop. 0:40:31.600 --> 0:40:31.839 Shot. 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:35.640 Us Herbert received an MVP vote for his efforts while 0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:36.799 taking a beating. 0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:41.879 The expot touchedop t Andre Lefford Smith. 0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:45.080 My goodness made the Pro Bowl off twenty six TV passes, 0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:48.000 over two hundred and thirty yards per game. Taking a shot, 0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:53.440 there's McCarty cock touchtern, most TV passes he's had since 0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:53.960 year two. 0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:58.000 Half Half did the episode I'm Mariot. Half did it 0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:00.600 first receiving touchdown in his career. 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:03.440 Herbert used his legs to escape more than he had 0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:07.080 ever done before. Career high in rush attempts and yards 0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:09.400 two yards shy of five hundred. 0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:13.440 Exoy slides for a Quack touchdown. 0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.600 Herbert hoping he can hand off to Amarian Hampton more 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.440 often this year. The rookie only played nine games over 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.680 five hundred yards on four to four a pop when 0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:23.520 he played. 0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:27.880 Hampton in the Enzo touchdown, all. 0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:29.760 Of which led to more playing time. 0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:30.200 For Bye Dell. 0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:31.759 He's got to get to the quarter he does there 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:31.960 we go. 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:34.800 He gave him over six hundred yards for one a 0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:39.400 carry in his second year. His Hoots, Body Bada pass 0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:42.440 catching group. At the time of this writing, Keenan Allen 0:41:42.640 --> 0:41:45.160 wasn't on the roster. Led the team in receptions in 0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:49.799 twenty twenty five seven hundred and seventy seven yards shoes. 0:41:54.840 --> 0:41:57.680 All the looks he got led to fewer for McLevin 0:41:57.760 --> 0:42:00.560 and his second season, the hockey. 0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:06.120 Talk touched up shots, let's go, hey, what do you do? 0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:07.319 Stand sucked? 0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:07.520 Yup? 0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.480 Shucks fans yep. I was like, when you score, go's 0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:12.080 do rad the conk sock? 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:13.920 He't running over here? Look Dad, he's not here. 0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:15.680 I didn't know what you were doing. 0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:18.040 I'm just gonna celebrate right in front of me, and 0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:18.960 he's gonna running. 0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:21.600 Lad mcconkee still led the team with seven hundred and 0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:24.600 eighty nine yards. His Hawaiian id got him into the 0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:25.720 zone six times. 0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:28.560 You give him a one on one and he give 0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:30.760 the double troper wickl. 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.880 Quentin Johnston also over seven hundred yards in his year. 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.040 Three to the zo looking for fu. 0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:41.200 Oh Cue led the. 0:42:41.200 --> 0:42:44.760 Team with eight scores, eight tds, seven hundred plus yards 0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:45.840 back to back seasons. 0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:49.600 If throw to the end zone over the shoulder touched up. 0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:52.400 If Keenan doesn't come back, it should lead to a 0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:55.839 bigger role for Trey Harris started his NFL career off 0:42:55.880 --> 0:43:01.719 with thirty receptions and over three hundred yards shut and 0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:05.080 tight end to Ronde Gadson really shined after he got 0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:07.600 it going. He's looking to build off a six hundred 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:09.360 and sixty four yard rookie season. 0:43:09.640 --> 0:43:12.360 Oh Rod Day Gadston, And if you thought it was 0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:13.560 a fluke, think again. 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:16.680 If they can get another four points or so out 0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:20.040 of that group, their defense doesn't lose any ground. They're 0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:23.600 a serious contender. They held teams to twenty a game and. 0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:27.960 Ben set choose chump the round top. 0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:30.440 Five and yards per game allowed on third down and 0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:33.560 in the red zone top ten, and takeaways. 0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:36.160 Popped up off to your cart's hands into the arms 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:37.320 of day On Henley. 0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:41.239 Their strength. That secondary held quarterbacks to less than one 0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:42.880 hundred and eighty yards per game. 0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:46.000 Acept Day through his receiver, gets the. 0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:50.279 Rookie j nickets to a seventy five rating, lowest in 0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:50.920 the NFL. 0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:57.040 Are Sepday, big man. Oh, the ball is out and 0:43:57.160 --> 0:44:00.279 the ball is out again, and the charger's full on it. 0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:03.720 My goodness, it always starts with Derwin back there, James. 0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:07.400 Another gem of a season. Over ninety tackles, three iron t's, 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:11.600 no tds allowed, low fifties rate as a result, good. 0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:13.680 At the game. 0:44:13.840 --> 0:44:18.080 Girlish tarheb still is looking like CB one material a 0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:21.480 mid seventies rate in his second year. Six passes defensed, 0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:23.399 not a touchdown allowed. 0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:27.520 Deep for Deebo Samuel fighting against his man complete that. 0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:31.200 Dante Jackson comes off a nice year sub seventy rate 0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:37.680 team high twelve passes defensed in four picks. We cam 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:40.600 Hart the one key corner with a rough rating, but 0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:42.719 he got his hands on eleven passes ahead of his 0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:43.640 third year in the pro. 0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:49.719 Hearts down the middle and Tipton picked intercepted by cam Hart. 0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:52.560 Safety Elijah Molden gave up a rating close to one 0:44:52.640 --> 0:44:55.799 hundred over fifty tackles twelve games played. 0:44:55.719 --> 0:45:00.360 Rout over the middle, intercepting Holy Smoke. 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:04.160 Bucks safety Tony Jefferson with thirteen games played, they'd take 0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:07.000 more of the same. A low fifties rate four picks 0:45:07.000 --> 0:45:08.600 as Iero TD's given up and. 0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:13.040 Shot the game, lord I believable way to head this game. 0:45:13.320 --> 0:45:17.520 Their secondary working in unison with their front forty five sacks, 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:22.600 top ten good goes on Bondale's finest two ley two 0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:25.319 polo two trending the right way four and a half 0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:28.200 sacks rookie year eight and a half as a soft 0:45:28.440 --> 0:45:32.520 a team leading thirteen in his third year hunting quarterbacks. 0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:35.200 Stop kind of got cut back, hit and drop by two. 0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:39.120 Khalil Mack returns his sack total five and a half 0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:41.719 last year in twelve games, five and a half to 0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:44.799 eight four of the last five years. Still a pain 0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:47.040 for tackles to deal with. For sixty minutes. 0:45:47.080 --> 0:45:51.160 Her cup's Khalil Mack in the exode. He drops up safety. 0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:55.040 I'll raise your hands and put it together with Chargers got. 0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:58.000 Two points and they picked up a key Mesidor in 0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:01.480 the first round, So there are plenty at outside linebacker. 0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:03.400 You see the bend and close at the top of 0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:06.839 his rush. It's outstanding. The interior rush. 0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.799 They'll use him in this capacity with the Chargers two. 0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:11.720 He does some of that as well, and he whipped 0:46:11.760 --> 0:46:12.520 up on guards. 0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:14.680 A lot of his production came from inside. 0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:17.520 Justin a boygbe with a mini breakout in his year 0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:20.280 two six bags most of his snaps as a backup. 0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:23.560 This time it is Justin boyke b. 0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:26.440 Rest of the beef in the middle. We're there to 0:46:26.560 --> 0:46:31.839 clog things up. Dropping didn't quite do that well enough. 0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:34.120 In twenty twenty five, they'd like to play runners a 0:46:34.160 --> 0:46:36.840 little tougher this year, gave up four to three a carry. 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:38.799 He's got it, He's gone. Barkley going to the end. 0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:42.360 Zil replaced DeShawn Hand twenty nine tackles, one and a 0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:46.200 half sacks with Vet Dalvin Tomlinson. Same kind of numbers 0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:47.919 with Arizona in twenty twenty five. 0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:52.760 Burrow in trouble again and Burrow goes down. It's Dalvin Tomlinson. 0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:56.520 Jamari Caldwell got five starts as a rookie, thirty one 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:57.759 tackles and a sack. 0:46:58.040 --> 0:46:58.400 Smith. 0:46:58.840 --> 0:47:02.719 He'll be swarmed, no chance, as they brought the big man, 0:47:03.880 --> 0:47:05.959 Jamari Caldwell, the rookie from. 0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:10.360 Oregon behind them. Dayon Henley, their star second level linebacker 0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:13.280 two I INT's one hundred plus tackles for the second 0:47:13.360 --> 0:47:15.200 year in a row, career high three and a half 0:47:15.320 --> 0:47:17.279 sacks in his third season. 0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:22.080 Paroettes, and that's where he's taken down by Henley. 0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:26.439 He was paired with two Vets linebacker Denzel Perryman, fourth 0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:28.920 year in a row with twelve or fewer games played. 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:32.880 Troy Die saw extra snaps in Perryman's place, close to 0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:35.040 sixty tackles, five for a loss, and. 0:47:35.239 --> 0:47:38.600 Here goes Nicks chase by tie, you'll swat at the 0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:40.560 ball and minimal gain on the play. 0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:43.480 Dicker the kicker back to kick it. Cameron hit over 0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:46.080 ninety percent of his field goal tries, thirty four for 0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:47.440 thirty five on extra. 0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:51.560 Points kick and the kick is good. 0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.840 Here's how it all pencils out. Then the front seven 0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:58.760 isn't much different. Tomlinson in for mister Hand. Hopefully Spiccoli 0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:02.680 isn't bummed about that. Mesidor gives them four QB hunters, 0:48:03.040 --> 0:48:06.759 Mac Tooley and Bud Dupree all back, Henley, Parriman and 0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:10.839 die behind all of them. Secondary comes back intact. If 0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:14.840 it ain't broke, don't fix it. Jackson Hart still at corner, 0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:18.840 Molden and Jefferson at safety, James wherever he needs to be. 0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:23.160 Offensive playmakers also the same, Save Keenan all hoping to 0:48:23.200 --> 0:48:26.520 produce at higher levels with improved O line play. Trey 0:48:26.600 --> 0:48:30.680 Harris seeing more action with Allen's departure. Lads numbers probably 0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:34.040 go back up too, Herbs at quarterback, hopefully a full 0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:37.200 ship from a Marionette running back. LA heads into twenty 0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:40.680 twenty six with high expectation. Still a nine and a 0:48:40.760 --> 0:48:43.640 half over under is still a projection of more wins 0:48:43.719 --> 0:48:46.880 than losses. They do have a tough division if KC 0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:51.560 rebounds Chargers twenty twenty six projected strength to schedule is 0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:54.960 on the hard side twelfth most difficult when you average 0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:59.000 their opponents expected win totals for the upcoming season. Let's 0:48:59.040 --> 0:49:01.520 play with their slate and see what a conservative ceiling 0:49:01.640 --> 0:49:05.040 might be for them. Beat Arizona and Vegas to start. 0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:07.839 Take Denver at home and pull off a road wind 0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:12.080 over KC, the Texans at home, the Jets in New England, 0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.799 Tampa Bay, sweep Vegas. Let's go with a win at 0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:19.920 SOFAR over San Francisco, followed by wins over Miami and 0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:23.640 Kansas City to get to twelve wins. Look, knowing Herbert 0:49:23.719 --> 0:49:26.680 had a beer or two this summer means he's relaxed. 0:49:27.080 --> 0:49:29.920 Game preview guy likes to knock one back too. I 0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:32.880 just can't afford the kind he enjoys. But in my 0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:37.720 relaxed state, I'm seeing double digits. Man, I'm not a lightweight.
