1 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: What's up, guys? An emergency Chargers weekly a day early. 2 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: Haley and Harry here, twenty twenty one regular season schedule 3 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: is out. Haley, how are you doing? I am good 4 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: back Like we never left. We have a schedule. The 5 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season feel a little more real now. 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Have to say that. Absolutely. It's funny because we've known 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: the opponents forever. But once you start to put the 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: pieces in place, you can start talking to talk about 9 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: the matchups and everything as relates to the Chargers schedule. 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: So let's just start at the top. The Washington Football 11 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: team Week one the NFC East this year for the 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: Chargers and Haley, I look at this, the offensive rookie 13 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: of the year versus the defensive rookie of the year 14 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: Rashaud Slater. He's getting that Chase Young matchup in Week one, 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: and it's a really good defensive line, maybe the best 16 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: in football against this new look oh Live for the Bolts. 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: I think you tweeted it. This is a sneaky good 18 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: game in my opinion because of all the different storylines 19 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: that kind of go along with it. You mentioned them 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: up top defensive rikie of the year going up against 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: the offensive Verkie of the Year per ESPN Stats and Info. 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: That will be the fourth time that's ever happened in 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: a Week one season opener, which is pretty cool. And yeah, 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: I mean vershas later Chase Young one more. Could you 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: want you go back to that Northwestern Ohio State game. 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: It's a really really good game, I think, in a 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: really good test and obviously opening on the road, this 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: is a really interesting thing. Now, hello, twenty twenty one, 29 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: we likely will have fans in the stand, so getting 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: used to that feels weird to say. But for someone 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: like Justin Herbert, who went pretty much the majority of 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: last season without having to deal with a crowd, this 33 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: is a really good test exactly. And I love that 34 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned that because this will be his first Week 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: one game, so that first he actually opens a season, 36 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: which is kind of interesting. And Brandon Stanley his first 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: as a head coach. He was with the Rams last 38 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: year they went to FedEx Field and beat the Washington 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: football team pretty good, so he has some background and 40 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: some intel on the Washington football team. I keep saying 41 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: the Washington football like I have to say all three 42 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: all three words here as opposed to just Washington. But 43 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: but I'm excited for coach Stanley to to get back 44 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: there against a pretty good team in Washington. Absolutely, I 45 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: have to agree with that, and I think, like you said, 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: it's just there's a lot going on with that game, 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: but it's a pretty good one to kick off the 48 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: season for sure. That's right. So NFC East, the Chargers 49 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: beat the Washington football team thirty thirteen. In twenty seventeen, 50 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: we two the Dallas Cowboys come to town the season opener. 51 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: At so far for the Chargers, I mean we got 52 00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, so far America's team coming to LA. 53 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: I mean, what more could jazz for Haley? Yeah, that's 54 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: a pretty uh if. Week one's like a sneaky matchup. 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Week two, that's a pretty sexy matchup just because of 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and who they are obviously, and coming into 57 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: SOFI again Dak Prescott, he gets that contract extension. He's 58 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: coming off the season he had which you know was 59 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: derailed by injury, but he's coming back. You have Justin Herbert. 60 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: Now that's going to be a fun one. And you know, 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: I think to start off too with two NFC opponents 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: is really interesting in my opinion because obviously these are 63 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: teams that you don't know particularly well but are good tests. 64 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: But that should be that should be just a really, 65 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: really fun game. I think the energy it's Sofa is 66 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: going to be awesome. And we'll talk about it again. 67 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: The fans knock on wood, but having fans at Sofi 68 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: Stadium is going to just be That place is going 69 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: to be rocking rock in that week. Oh yeah, it's 70 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: gonna be electric two And you have to imagine Cowboys. 71 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: It could be in that window where a majority of 72 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the nation gets to see Sofi Stadium in charges of Cowboys. 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: That'd be fun. And I like the fact that there's 74 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: two NFC East games to start because then you get 75 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: into your division schedule in weeks three and four, and 76 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: you wanted it, you got it early. Just to Herbert 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Week three Q forty seven, Arrowheads Stadium, Barbecue 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: thirty nine, Q thirty nine. But let's let's say this, 79 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: hey seven, where the seven place joint. We're gonna open it. 80 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Week three in Kansas City. That 81 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: is a fantastic game because this team has played at 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City in the cold, I mean the last however 83 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: many years. You want to call it. And so to 84 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: get that game early at Arrowhead in September is going 85 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 1: to be awesome just from a weather standpoint, just from 86 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, not having to look later on in the 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: schedule building. We still got that one in you know, 88 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: late December, early January, but that's a you know, we 89 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: talk about testing this team, I mean starting off with 90 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, but defending AFC champions, not only 91 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: division chants, but defending AFC champions. That's a huge one too, 92 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: and that will be another huge crowd test as well. 93 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: This team has some you know, tough road games to 94 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: start well. Obviously you know we'll continue on, but before 95 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: they're by the three places that they hit on the 96 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: road are tough road environments. So it's going to be 97 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: really really interesting again for someone like Justin Herbert to 98 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: get acclimated to what that environment is really really like. 99 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: Though there were fans at Arrowhead, I believe in that 100 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: last game there were a few. Yeah, yeah, there were 101 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: a few in Week seventeen, but obviously Patrick Mahomes was 102 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: not under center. So this is like the first official 103 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: matchup between these two quarterbacks because Justin was kind of 104 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: thrust into action a Week two. We didn't even know 105 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: he was going to get the nod. So to have 106 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: these two young quarterbacks, this is going to be the 107 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: second matchup between these guys, and the second of so 108 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: many were anticipating over the next decade plus with these 109 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: two in the division. So Chargers, after having a tough 110 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: go of it in the division, they won their last 111 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: three in the AFC West last year, so they can 112 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: see if we can carry that over into twenty twenty one. 113 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: And speaking of the AFC West, Hailey Week four, first 114 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: primetime game, it's Sofi Stadium, Monday Night Football against the 115 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. Still that's a fun one though, I mean, 116 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: come on, like Monday Night football at Sofi Stadium. We'll also, 117 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: I know, we'll talk about all the primetime games this 118 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: team was dealt this year. But to have it at 119 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: home is going to be really really cool. Chargers fans 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: leave early, leave work early, get your note now, don't 121 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: go to sign it, don't go to work, get those 122 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: parking lots as early as possible. Exactly. I might leave now, 123 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: who knows, I might just leave now at this point. 124 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, but but that is that is just going 125 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: to be really really fun and I think I think 126 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: anytime this team was in primetime last year, you saw 127 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: what Justin Herbert was able to do on the national stage. 128 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: The nation saw what he was able to do on 129 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: the national stage, obviously the defending offensive rookie of the year, 130 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: and it was just fun. Like those games were just fun. 131 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: You think of the Saints game, you think of the 132 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Raiders game on Thursday Night Football towards the end of 133 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: the season. So the first one of a few this year. Yeah, 134 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: I remember justin Scream and I was in I was 135 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: in Thursday Night. That was a lot of fun. And 136 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: then also some familiar faces too, Haley, Casey, Hayward. Now 137 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: in Silver Black, you had Gus Bradley, coach Bilas, coach Smith, 138 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: so a few coaches that know this team very well 139 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: on vice versa. Yeah, it doesn't get better than a 140 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: primetime game in the division. So the first quarter of 141 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: the season, you know, we'll break this up into course, 142 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: you get two games in the NFC East, then two 143 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: games in the AFC West, and then you kick off 144 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: the second quarter the season with Cleveland Browns Week five, 145 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and company. This is a team that's really improved. 146 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: I think throughout this offseason. Build it off what they 147 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: did in the playoffs last year with a wildcard win. Yeah, 148 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I believe that was the first time they 149 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: made the playoffs, and I want to say eighteen seasons, 150 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: I think it was, and they certainly looked the part. 151 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: They added some pieces, like you said, So this is 152 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: another team that's going to come in here, and it's 153 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: going to be a pretty pretty good test. I'm actually 154 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: very excited just to see the quarterback play in this game, 155 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: just to see Baker Mayfield and Justin Herbert play, because 156 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: I think the last time the Chargers played the Browns 157 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: against Baker Mayfield Baker Mayfield, excuse me, was was right 158 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: before we went to London in twenty eighteen, and I 159 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: can't remember if that was his first official start. I 160 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: don't totally remember, but but it was his rookie it 161 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: was one of his first few for sure. It was 162 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: his rookie season, and I think, just as we've seen 163 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield has certainly come into his own. 164 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: So this will be a fun kind of gun slinging 165 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: sort of match up here. Yeah, you get two of 166 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: the best pass rushers in football and Miles Garrett and 167 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, so a lot of star power in this game. 168 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: Then Chargers got to go back east. This is the 169 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: second time they go back East in the first six 170 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. They go to Baltimore take on 171 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: the Ravens, and of course, Haley, we were there the 172 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: last time the Chargers were there, twenty three seventeen wildcard 173 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: win against those Ravens, a gay where they were ahead 174 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: pretty convincingly for three four arch of the game. Then 175 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: it got a little interesting. Yeah I got a little 176 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: dicey there at the end, but they did. They did 177 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: pull out that win. But this is sort of that 178 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: third road game. This is the third road game before 179 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: they hit the buy and then another just really really 180 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: good test in a hostile environment. We know what those 181 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: Ravens fans are capable of doing. But you know, we 182 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: talk about obviously winning in your division, but needing to 183 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: stack up wins in the conference as well, and so 184 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: being able to then have you know, it's like we're 185 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: when you look at this, and I printed it out 186 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: so I could really take a look at it. It's 187 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: stacked in divisions. You have the two NFC East, the 188 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: two AFC West and then the two AFC North right 189 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: then and there, so you're sort of chunking it out 190 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. But um, but that'll be a good 191 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: one too. And then we hit the buy in week 192 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: seven and this expanded season, I think we liked the 193 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: week seven by. No, we like the week seven by 194 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: So here's the thing I was thinking about this because 195 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I was thinking, man, when when you look at week seven, 196 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: you add a game a week this year, obviously it 197 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: gives the team a stretch of six, then a break, 198 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: and then you go eleven and I'm like, hmm, that's 199 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: kind of dicey. But last year, thanks to the surprise 200 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: by that this team was dull, the schedule arrangement, adaptability, adaptability, 201 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: they went five games and then eleven. So really, this 202 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: is nothing this team hasn't done before. So sure we'll 203 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: take We'll take the week seven. Yeah, it's a good point. 204 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: Week Week eighteen is still gonna take some getting used 205 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: to to say, but it's you know, I think it 206 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: comes at a good time, especially if you're going to 207 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: go East coast twice in six weeks. Take a little 208 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: bit of a breath, then you come back for the 209 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: New England Patriots so this game on a lot of 210 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: different levels. We know what happened last year. It's so 211 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: by stadium, very tough game for the Chargers. Also also 212 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: some familiar faces in Hunter Henry, Yeah, Adrian Phillips and 213 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: you talked about these these conference games, just stacking conference wins. 214 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: It's good to win all of them, right, you want 215 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: to win those games in the NFC East, But winning 216 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: in the conference is a big deal, and beating the 217 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: Patriots would be pretty sweet on Halloween. Absolutely, that will 218 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: be a fun one. I mean, I feel like I'm 219 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: saying this for every game, but dress up. I don't 220 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: know what I'll be. We'll figure this out. We got 221 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: some time, Yeah, some time, but um but yeah, I 222 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: mean you you obviously think back to what happened last 223 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: year and everything that went wrong could have gone wrong 224 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: that day. But this is, you know, obviously a different 225 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: Chargers team with a different Chargers coaching staff now, So 226 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: that'll be an interesting matchup obviously against Bill Belichick and 227 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: the Patriots. And if it's Cam Newton, if it's Mac Jones, 228 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens at that point in the season. 229 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: But um, but yeah, winning winning in conference obviously super 230 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: super super important. So two observations about the Chargers road 231 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: schedule this year. There's only two back to back road games, 232 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: which is which is a really good thing. But you 233 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: got to go to the East Coast three times in 234 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: two months. So after this game against the Patriots, you're 235 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: going back east to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen 236 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: hurtson company. This is the third of four NFC East games, 237 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: and again Shane Steikin over there the offensive coordinator. You 238 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: get Jalen hurt Nick Siriani a former member of the 239 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: Chargers coaching staff. So it's always fun when you see 240 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: familiar faces too, Hiley, Yeah, it is. It is a 241 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: lot of fun. And I think you know, Nick had 242 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: a lot of success obviously here what the Chargers, went 243 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: on to Indie and now earned a role with Philadelphia 244 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: in that sense, and you know Shane obviously we know 245 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: what he did here as well. And it'll be fun, 246 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: you know. It's it's the small, small world of the 247 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: NFL and just how yeah, you know, there is turnover, 248 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: whether it's on the coaching or player rosters and whatnot. 249 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: And it's funny in a year like this when you 250 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: do intersect, you do have so many games at intersect 251 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: where you will see some of those familiar faces, whereas 252 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: some years, you know, you go without some guys will 253 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: go to the NFC and you won't see them for 254 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: three or four years or something like that. But it 255 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: kind of feels like you're hitting all those marks this 256 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: year in twenty twenty one. That's right. So after Philly 257 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: Bolts come back to Sofi Stadium to play their seventeenth 258 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: opponent in week ten. So the Minnesota Vikings were added 259 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: to the schedule late, so they're the seventeenth opponent, but 260 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: Charge is gonna play them in week ten. Some fourth 261 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: storylines in this one. I look at the Justin Jefferson 262 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: versus Justin Herbert offensive Rookie of the Year races as 263 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: one of them. But a game in the NFC, this 264 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: extra game just keeps stack and wins. It's gonna be 265 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: weird at the end of the year when a team 266 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: is ten and seven or eleven and six. I'm still 267 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: trying to process that math is was and is not 268 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: my strong suit. I make the joke I used to 269 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: work in dance, I counted from five to eight. In football, 270 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: you have one hundred yards, you go forwards, you go 271 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: backwards whatever. But this schedule combination is just really really 272 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: confusing me. It's going to be weird when you have 273 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: these records at the end of the year that no 274 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: one can end five hundred, No one can end five hundred. 275 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: No worry, Nate. I do wish in a sense, though, 276 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: that they scheduled all of these games like the exact 277 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: same week, all of these extra games that would have 278 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: been really really fun. But you know, like you said, 279 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: the Justin game, the battle of the Justin's and a 280 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: very unfamiliar opponent in that sense, because this was the 281 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: bonus game. This was obviously all these opponents were determined 282 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: based on out of conference opponent that finished in their 283 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: same place that they played in twenty nineteen. I believe 284 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: it is. But yeah, Vikings come to so Fire after that, Yeah, 285 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: after that. Week eleven. This is the second of three 286 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: primetime games for the Chargers this year, all at so 287 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: FI Stadium. The Pittsburgh Steelers. You got Justin Herbert versus 288 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger entering his eighteenth NFL seasons, So you get 289 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: one of the oldest quarterbacks in the NFL versus a 290 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: young up and comer in Justin m I think Pittsburgh 291 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: is another one of those teams that they always kind 292 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: of hang tough a little bit, and it's almost reverse 293 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: like the wins for the opponent have come at the 294 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: other person's house or I get yeah, I guess what 295 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say makes sense there. But Sunday Night Football, 296 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, it's so far again the second, like you said, 297 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: primetime game to come at SOFI. We'll just throw it 298 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: out there. All of the primetime games that this team 299 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: got are at home, which is awesome, especially in a 300 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: year like this where it's really sort of the last 301 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: year was this is a mulligan, you know, last year 302 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: without the fans, it just didn't feel quite right. So 303 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: it feels like you're sort of reopening or having essentially 304 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: an opening for the stadium, and just awesome that obviously 305 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: everyone will get to see it on a national stage 306 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, and I should mention this too, Hailey. 307 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: Tickets for games, Get your tickets. The pre sale is tonight. 308 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: You can go to the Chargers website, I think at 309 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: four forty five, say game tickets, season tickets, check charges 310 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: dot com early and off and get on there and 311 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: get your seats. We want to see you at SOFI Stadium. 312 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I love I love the fact that 313 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: Week eleven is the Steelers. It's always it's always fun 314 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: to have one of these kind of legacy teams come 315 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: to come to town and see them go head to head. 316 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: So what we got after that, we got back to 317 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: back road games. Yep, Denver Broncos. We see them for 318 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: the first time in Week twelve at Denver. This is 319 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: fun for coach daley former stop for him, a mentor 320 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: in Vic Fangio, and a team we both know very 321 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: well in the Dever Broncos. Yeah. I remember I talked 322 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: with Vic about it and just about like, have you 323 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: thought about going up against him? And he kind of, 324 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: you know, downplayed a little bit. He's like, hey, you know, 325 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: we'll see each other and we're not going to really 326 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: think about it. But but it is, you know, it's 327 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: hard to sort of throw that aside. Very neat for 328 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: those two to match up against one another. I'm going 329 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: to toss to Week thirteen really quick because I want 330 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: to mention one thing about this schedule. So Week thirteen 331 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati, to me, this might be the only cold stretch, 332 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: cold game stretch this team faces in twenty twenty one 333 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 1: because these games are end of November early December, and 334 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: then at the rest the two road games that they 335 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: have to finish off the schedule are in domes. So 336 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: this works out, in my opinion, really really great for 337 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: this Chargers team, a Southern California team where look, you 338 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: got on the road, you obviously acclimate to the environment. 339 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: But again, when you don't have to look later on 340 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: and go, oh, we have to go to Cincinnati on 341 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: January ninth or whatever, this here's your little stretch. Here's 342 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 1: your back to back road stretch. Take care of business, 343 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: put on the park up, put on the turtleneck, and 344 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: then come back home. It's a great observation because you know, 345 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a cold weather team or not. 346 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody really likes to play in 347 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: the cold and it's cold. You know, that's a really 348 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: good observation as far as the game's concerned. In Week thirteen, 349 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: that's Joe Burrow justin Herbert. That's what we're hoping for. 350 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: We didn't get that last year. Tyrod Taylor started Week 351 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: one the Chargers one. That Week one game, I believe 352 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: was sixteen thirteen, and again they got them to one 353 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: or no. I think Randy Bullock missed a field goal 354 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: at the end, kind of get the charges off the 355 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: hook there. But Herbert Burrow that's the head that's the headliner. 356 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of eyes are going to 357 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: be turned into that game too, purely based off what 358 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: both quarterbacks did last year. Obviously Joe Burrow got injured, 359 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: very unfortunate situation for him, but to come back to 360 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: stack up the first overall pick versus the sixth overall pick, 361 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna be another just really really awesome quarterback matchup. 362 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: And like you said, we didn't get it obviously in 363 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: Week one last year, but here we go Week thirteen, 364 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. It's a good one. Absolutely bolts back. 365 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: It's so FI Stadium for weeks fourteen and fifteen, So 366 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: this is interesting. This is the fourth and final NFC 367 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: East game against the New York Giants. But then it's 368 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: a short week Thursday Night Football, Kansas City Chiefs come 369 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: to town, and I can't help but think about that 370 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: game three years ago Thursday Night Football, Week fifteen. Get 371 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: it out is about it? My cap grew about the book. 372 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: My cap broke the handle. But Playbook Products sent me this. 373 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them a little shout out for the 374 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: win because of the two point conversion that happened in 375 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: that Kansas City game, which was totally electric Chargers pun. Obviously, 376 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try not to fall off my school here, 377 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: but that is the game I think that everyone thinks 378 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: of with Thursday night football. I think we've played the Raiders. 379 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: The Chargers have played the Raiders the last couple Thursday nights. 380 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: So to get back in that Kansas City I don't 381 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: know if this is the last Thursday night football game 382 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: of the season because we now have weeks you know, 383 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: we have a week eighteen essentially, But that's just such 384 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: a such a good matchup. And again, anytime this team 385 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: played in primetime last year, it was just fun to 386 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: watch and to get you know, this is obviously a 387 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: home game, and you just think of what happened at home. 388 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: I know we talked about going up against Kansas City 389 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: last year already, but just that it was a duel 390 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: that whole game, I mean, it went to overtime, and again, 391 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: just to get that matchup in time is going to 392 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: be awesome to watch and you hope it means something too. Yeah, 393 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: late in December. I mean that could be a game 394 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: that has division implications, wildcard implications. And again it's it's 395 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: Herbert versus Mahomes in a in a duel that we're 396 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: gonna see for a long time in the a f 397 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: C West. So I'm excited for that. You said, playbook products, 398 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: playbook products. Play we got to get you a new mug. 399 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: So playbook products. If you're listening, we have a broken 400 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: bug behind Haley. We need a new bug. Yeah, it's 401 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: a good it's a good shelf shelf of Kutremont. All right, 402 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: Week sixteen, Houston Texans down in Houston. A lot of 403 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: familiar faces here too. We talked about Tyrod Taylor, Desmond King, 404 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: Pep Hamilton. I think coach James Camping is on that 405 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: that staff. So yeah, a game in the AFC South 406 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: in the conference, important to stack thos, important to stacktos. 407 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: And look, you're closing your season out with war straight 408 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: AFC games, three of those are in the division. But 409 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: again you talk about just the importance of winning within 410 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: your conference. You just got to keep it rolling. And 411 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: like you said, obviously you know it's very hard to 412 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: win all of them, but to get that towards the end, 413 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: hopefully it means something. Hopefully you can close the season 414 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: out on a high note and do it against Houston 415 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: at their place, absolutely final two games of the twenty 416 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: twenty one season, Haley, the Denver Broncos at SOFI Stadium 417 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: and the Las Vegas Raiders in Las Vegas. And I 418 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier. The Chargers finished strong last year. I 419 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: think they won four straight. Three of them were than 420 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: the division. So the Denver Broncos in the Raiders. You're 421 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to get those games if you're gonna have 422 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: a chance at a wild card or the division in general. Yeah, 423 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: winning your division obviously extremely extremely important, and just if 424 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: you can't necessarily win the division, just keeping pace in 425 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: the division and getting some of those wins and finishing 426 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: with a positive record. Obviously, we know what happened last year, 427 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: adding the extra playoff team, which is back. You know, 428 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: that's what's happening here from here on out, that extra 429 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: wildcard team. But closing the season out again, I know 430 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: the NFL usually likes to do this where they stick 431 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: some division games at the end, and like we talked about, 432 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: hopefully they mean something, and hopefully those are wins and 433 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: can propel this team. Weird that it's ending on January ninth, 434 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: I think that's like wild card weekend. It's like wild 435 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: card weekend, but propelling them, you know, as they say, 436 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: playing meaningful football in January to get further into the month. 437 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna put you on the spot. What's 438 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: your if you had to pick a game? Pick one game, 439 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: your favorite game. I know I was thinking about this 440 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: because you can't really go round. There's like five or 441 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: six games. I think you can't. You can't go wrong. Yeah, 442 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: there are a lot of just really really great storyline 443 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: games and everything like that. I mean, I just think 444 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm just really excited. I will say I'm very excited 445 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: for Thursday Night football against the Chiefs in week fifteen. 446 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: I just think that matchup between I think anytime those 447 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks take the field is awesome. And I just 448 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: think having that primetime slate is going to be really 449 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: really really just really cool, really fun. It's um, you know, 450 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: right before Christmas, everyone's in the holiday spirit. It's gonna 451 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: be a good time. What about you. Yeah, that's that's 452 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: definitely one of them. I mean, the Monday and night 453 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: game against the Raiders. The first one is Sofi Stadium, 454 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: the first quarters. I just I love September so much 455 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: because there's there's so like Hope, Springs, Eternal, everybody, zero 456 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: and zero. You go into a season with so much optimism, 457 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: and I love the fact that it's Monday and night 458 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: football against the Raiders up. Yeah. That and then honestly, 459 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: Week one, the whole Chase Young justin Herbert thing is 460 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: awesome to be the whole Reshawn Slater Chase Young thing 461 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: is Coach Staley's first game. We talk about this team 462 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: and all the moves made in free agency, in the draft. 463 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: This is the first time you get to see it 464 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: all come together. So you know, it's kind of a 465 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: cop out, but like the first game for me, it's 466 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: like you get to see all this come together. You 467 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: mentioned it fans in the stands. It's going to be 468 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: just a completely different experience, a welcomed different experience from 469 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: what we went through last year with the pandemic and 470 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: what these guys had to go through playing in front 471 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: of empty stadium. So Week one, in Week four and 472 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: then obviously that Week fifteen game that could be gosh, 473 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: not on wood. That could be like the game of 474 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: the year totally. If you're in contention with the Chiefs 475 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: and in contention in the AFC in general, that could 476 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: decide a lot of things. It could decide don't feel advantage. 477 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: It could decide whether or not you get in as 478 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: a wildcard. So figures crossed that Week fifteen is the game, right, Absolutely, 479 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: keep them cross now. And I will say I'll echo 480 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: your sentiment about week one, because I think every time, 481 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, you go into a season so many years, 482 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, we know what this team is, we 483 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: know what they're capable of, but but there's so many unknowns, 484 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: but exciting unknowns obviously, just given the coaching staff, given 485 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: some of the changes that this team has made to 486 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: certain position groups and whatnot. That it's good, you know, 487 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: it's just going to feel good to get back out 488 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: there and like you said, in a more welcomed environment 489 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: and a little bit kind of more back to normal. 490 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: I think it as as normal could be hopefully at 491 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: that point, but a little more kind of what we're 492 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: used to. Absolutely, well, Haley, it's fun emergency podcast. I'll 493 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: chargers weekly. The schedule is out there.
