1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your impressions on Philip Rivers and

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: what are the qualities that has allowed him to be

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: successful for so long. Yeah, he's really good at everything. Ums,

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: very accurate on the deep ball, sees coverage as well,

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: see his matchups well, Um goes go to the right place,

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: rows the ball accurately. This is a big, strong guy

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: that can stand in the pocket and you know, handle

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: himself with guys around him. Does a good job of

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, of control in the offense of protection. Um.

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the offense runs through him, and he's

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: he does a good job of getting getting the charters,

12
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, either into good plays or out of bad plays.

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: However you want to look at. Obviously, his durability can asistency.

14
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I started over two hundred straight games. I mean,

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty impressive. He does everything well. And if

16
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: I could follow up Bill with with Rivers, is it

17
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: particularly hard to throw something at him defensively a scheme

18
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: that he hasn't already seen? Kind of like Tom. You

19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: know Tom always says or often says that he's pretty

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: much seen it all. With Philip Rivers, is it more

21
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: about just executing than worrying about trying to trick him

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: with a scheme. Uh yeah, I don't think you're gonna,

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: you know, find something that you know, he's never seen before.

24
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't think you want

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: to just sit in something and tell him this is

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: what we're in. What do you want to do about it.

27
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: I think he'll, you know, he'll he'll make him pay

28
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: for it. So, um, you know, yeah, you got to

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: try to keep him off balanced. But yeah, I don't

30
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: think you're gonna you're gonna come up with something he's

31
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: never seen before. I agree with that. Great. Thanks Bill,

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: You're welcome. The next question will be Rich Gardon, followed

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: by Phil Perry. Bill, I'm wondering what it says about

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers that they've been able to have so much

35
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: success on the road this season. Well, they're a good

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: football team. Let's let's start with that. You know, they've

37
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: been a lot of close games, UM, and they've won

38
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: a lot of close games. They're a good football team.

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: They're good on offense, they're good on defense. UM, kickers

40
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: had a great year. They've they've won a lot of

41
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: games everywhere. Thanks not Evan Lazar Okay, we'll go Phil

42
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Perry followed by Doug Kine go ahead, and Bill, I think, Bill, um,

43
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: what have you seen from the Chargers return units? No,

44
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: King has had a really good year in that role

45
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: for them. But what do they do as a group

46
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: that have helped them open up some big returns both

47
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: in the punt in the kick game. All right, Well,

48
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: King's done a good job for him as you've mentioned.

49
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Um So the Benjamin I mean that he's definitely there

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: if they need him to. Um So, they have good returners,

51
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: They have a good a good return scheme. They do

52
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: a good job of getting those guys started. U there.

53
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Their corners took a nice job on holding up on

54
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: the vice. They can um you know, have some basic

55
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: kickoff returns. They really attack you, you know in all

56
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: three phase places you know, to the to the boundary,

57
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: to the middle and then to the field. Um they

58
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: I'd say it's really about good execution and getting the

59
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: return or started and having um you know, good returner.

60
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Once he gets started, they can that can make some

61
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: plays the ball in his hands. And Bill, just to

62
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: follow up, how do you feel like your your coverage

63
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: units have developed as the season has gone on here.

64
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: Obviously you've added um some pieces with Humber and you

65
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: know as the season's gone on here, but um, how

66
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: has how have those groups grown I guess um over

67
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: the course of this year. And where do you feel

68
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: like they're at now? Yeah, well we'll find out where

69
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: we're out on Sunday. If I'm playing, it gets a good,

70
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, very good return team. UM. So again, it's

71
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: just take a great team effort from everybody. I mean, no,

72
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: no one guy can. It's gonna stop king. Um. We're

73
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to you know, execute well as an entire

74
00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: unit and that'll be a big challenge for us this Sunday. Okay, thanks, welcome.

75
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Next question we'll go with Doug Kaiere and Bill. I know,

76
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: did you have the two first round picks in twenty twelve,

77
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: So I was wondering how much work you guys did

78
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: on open Ingram. Uh, that's spring in winter. Yeah. I mean,

79
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: obviously he's you know, an outstanding player, could do a

80
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: lot of different things, very athletic, strong, physical, good pass rusher, UM.

81
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: But it has a long time ago. It's a based

82
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: on you know, the way he's played UM in his career.

83
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: He's said an outstanding career for for that team, and

84
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: they're very good on defense with him and a lot

85
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: of other good players. Thanks. And just to follow up,

86
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: I know this was also a long time ago as well,

87
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: but what do you just remember about the one year

88
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: you sent with Cliff Kingsbury? Yeah, right now, and really

89
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: just just focus on trying to get ready for the Chargers,

90
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: and I think the people that are involved in the

91
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: game thought that time some other time. Okay, thanks though,

92
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: next question Mike Giardium and I'll ask anybody else to

93
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: raise their hand. Evan Lazarre, Sorry your line was messed

94
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: up out have you dialed back in? Maybe we can

95
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: through the line. Go ahead, Mike. So with with regards

96
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: to their to their their usage of the running backs

97
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, UM, how have you seen your

98
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: linebackers improve in that regard covering running backs out of

99
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: the backfield this year? Well, we spent a lot of

100
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: time on on pass coverage at all levels, UM, so

101
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: all the guys we have linebackers, safety's corners, UM, and

102
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: so forth. We spend a lot of time on that

103
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: all the year from day one, work on it every week.

104
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: So each week the challenge UM and certainly this week.

105
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: It will be because of the quarterback and the running

106
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: backs and tight ends that they have. UM. So these

107
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: players are very skilled, they're very athletic. They have a

108
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: great quarterback and had a great scheme to the challenge

109
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: every part of the defense, so they can they can

110
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: get the ball to their receivers, their tight ends, their

111
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: backs depending on the coverage and match up, and you

112
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: know how the plan folds. They have a lot of options,

113
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: a lot of good options, and we'll have to be

114
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: able to defend all of them. Certainly be a big

115
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: challenge for us to do that. Chrissian Cherish Sliver, followed

116
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: by Bob sers Hy do you mentioned their kicker being good.

117
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm just curious what your thoughts on how big the

118
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: home field advantage is in the playoffs in particular for kickers,

119
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: and what the weekly preparation is like in terms of,

120
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, the weather forecast and that kind of stuff.

121
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: How much time or thought of planning goes into UM

122
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: goes into that part of the kicking game. It's pretty

123
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: hard to forecast the weather at this time of year

124
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: or so when worried too nuts about so it gets

125
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: pretty close to game time. I Look, everybody's good in

126
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: this league. Every team has good players, every team has

127
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: good coaches, especially at this time of year. The eight

128
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: teams that are remaining are all good football teams or

129
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be playing at this time of year. So um,

130
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: each player, each coach, you know, everybody will have to

131
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: have to do their very best. Um. Certainly on our

132
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: side of it, we'll be doing their very best to

133
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: have their best performance Sunday, and that includes everybody. So um, well,

134
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. We'll see what happens, but

135
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: it'll be It'll be two good teams and a lot

136
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: of good players and a lot of good coaches competing

137
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: out there. Um, it was right to play next week,

138
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: and hopefully it'll be us. Well, we're gonna do our

139
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: very best to put our best game for our best

140
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: performance out there. Again, that includes the specialists and includes

141
00:09:52,720 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: lose everybody. Our next question will be Bob Socie, followed

142
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: by Evan Bazaar. All right, thanks Stacy, Hi Bill, I

143
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: want to ask about Anthony Lynn and experience that you

144
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: may have had with him, if at all at least

145
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: knowledge of him having worked under Romeo and Bill Parcels

146
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: in the past. And if and Mike Shanahan played under

147
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: Shanahan as well, if the qualities that maybe you've you've

148
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: gleaned from others talking about him, if they're reflected in

149
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: the way his team has played and also overcome adversity,

150
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: considering the circumstances that they've been in the last couple

151
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: of years after relocating, and we've already knowed the success

152
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: they've experienced on the road this year. I haven't had

153
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: a lot of personal interaction with Anthony, but you know,

154
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: have a ton of respect as a player, and certainly

155
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: the job that he's done with the Chargers. As you said,

156
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: relocating a franchise is not not an eaty thing to do. UM.

157
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: And you know, dealing with all that, um, you know,

158
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: all the other challenges that that normal teams have in

159
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: the National Football League are are difficult. That when you

160
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: you throw a relocation and international game and you know

161
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: other some other things that have come up along the

162
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: way on top of that. UM. You know, I think

163
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: that that that organization has shown a lot of resiliency,

164
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: mental toughness, and and certainly a very high level of

165
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: performance over sustained period of time. UM. Since they were

166
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: owing for whatever it was last year. UM teams won

167
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: a lot of football games, and they played well, UM

168
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: against a lot of good football teams and in every

169
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: area and all all three phases of the game, and

170
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: won a lot of close games. And so tremendous amount

171
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: of respect for for coach Lynn Um. You know, all

172
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: all the coordinators out there, their entire football their staff

173
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: and their organization. They've done ann outstanding job. Again, best

174
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: record in the AFC this year, and you know that's

175
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: it's not easy to do. So they've they've earned it.

176
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: Thanks well, and we'll take two final questions. Evans are

177
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 1: falled by Henry McKennon. Go ahead, hey Bill, read it

178
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: up on the Chargers with over the Ravens said a

179
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: lot of the Chargers defensive players said that they picked

180
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 1: up on tells from the Ravens offensive line, like the

181
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: way that they were saying their feet and stuff like that.

182
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: I was just curious how often you guys talk about

183
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: that not giving away plays based on how you're setting

184
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: up your offensive lineman and uh, you know, on the

185
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: other side, at the defense side of the ball, how

186
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: often you look into that to see if you can

187
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: pick up on any tells um from the opponents. Yeah,

188
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that's. Um. Look, there's a

189
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: certain element of that every week when you study your

190
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: opponent as much as players and coaches do. In this league,

191
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: you see a lot of that. A lot of films

192
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: study and try to find tendencies about formations, plays, um,

193
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: individual tips and you know, so forth and so on.

194
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: So each game has its own each game, each player,

195
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: each each unit has their own characteristics of you know,

196
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: keys and so forth. I think that's yeah, that's part

197
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: of football. There's certainly tendencies. And I've never never coached

198
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: against a good team that didn't have tendencies. I'd say

199
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: pretty strong tendencies. You know. Usually that's what makes team

200
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: makes team teams good teams is they do something, they

201
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: do it well, and they can continue to do it

202
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: even though you have some anticipation of what they're gonna do. Um.

203
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: But that's what makes good football. Team is good. And

204
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure that that every team we play

205
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: studies us for keys and tips, just like we study them. Um.

206
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: And you know, there are always things that you can

207
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, learn or help anticipate. That's that's part of

208
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: the games. Knowing your opponent trying to give yourself a

209
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: little bit of an edge on some things you think

210
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: they're going to do. But you know, ultimately there's there

211
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: are a lot of variables in that too, and I

212
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: think some of those things are a little overrated. But

213
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, you have to talk to the

214
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: Chargers about that game with the Ravens. I mean, that's

215
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: I can't really comment on that. I don't know, but yeah,

216
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: from our standpoint, we try not to UM, we try

217
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: to try to be you know, balance and what we do. UM.

218
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: We certainly had tendencies, some of which, UM, you know,

219
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: we want to try to balance out some of which

220
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: we know our tendencies, but we do them that way

221
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: for a reason, and we're going to continue to do

222
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: them that way. And I would imagine that's probably the

223
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: way it is a most every other team in the

224
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: league or any other team at at a high level

225
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: of football. UM, there's an element of both those things. Yeah,

226
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: last question for coach Henry McKinnon morning bill U. Victually

227
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: in the locker room, we had a sort of a

228
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: light art recorded moment. Trey Flowers admitted that he had

229
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: a nightmare about failing to set the edge, which kind

230
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: of cracked everyone out. But um what, I guess what

231
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: does that say about him? You know, maybe in a

232
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: contract year where where for some players sacks might be

233
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: important in earning power that he is, Uh, he's seven

234
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: nightmares about you know, making sure Melvin Jordan doesn't break outside. Well,

235
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not an analyst of nightmares. But look,

236
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: I think our players, um certainly recognize the importance of

237
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: our season and where we are at this season and

238
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: with what we've earned the right to do, which is

239
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: to play in this in this game, and it's important

240
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: for all of us to do our job the best

241
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: we can and perform well. I mean, that's what we're

242
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: here for. That's what we've worked all year to do,

243
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: is to be able to get to this point. And

244
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: it's important to everybody. It's just like I'm sure it's

245
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: important to everybody in the Chargers organization, and you know,

246
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: expect it to be a very hard fought, tough, competitive game,

247
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Um like it always is at this time of year

248
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: between two good football teams and two good organizations. So

249
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody has, whether it's in bed or driving

250
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, somewhere awaiting facility thought it's about about the game,

251
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: about each of our roles in the game, and wanted

252
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that we do them the very best

253
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: that we can so that we don't let our teammates

254
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: down and can perform well and help our team win.

255
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: And that's what we're all trying to do. That's what

256
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do, so see how it turns out

257
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: that that's That's what preparation for a big game is

258
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: is thinking about your job and preparing to do it

259
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: well and going out there and executing it when you

260
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: get the opportunity. Thank you if you're walking
