1
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: What's up, guys, Chris Harry with you on a brand

2
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: new episode of Chargers Weekly. I'm pumped for this one.

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: A little later, we're gonna have Duke co defensive coordinator

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: Ben Albert talking about Chris rumped the second. But first

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: another Duke Duke Manny Weather ol masterminds. What do we got?

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: Strike Levers, Drive Finish dot Com. I just saw the

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: website up, Duke. How you doing? Man? Doing well? Chris,

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: glad to be back. Time flies. Seemed like we were

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: just talking last week, but I guess it's been over

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: a month now. It's been over a month, and that

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: conversation we had was through a film room. You were

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: breaking down some of the free agents that the Chargers acquired,

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Corey Linsley, Odeabushi, Matt Feiler. We briefly touched on Rashawn Slater,

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: but I think after we tape that you and I

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: had the conversation that there was no way Rashawn Slater

16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: was getting outside the top ten to the Chargers. The

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: year before, the Chargers stuck at six, got just at Herbert.

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: They stuck at thirteen, and a lot of people think

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: they got maybe the best tackle in the draft. Yeah. Absolutely,

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: we did have that conversation, spoke to actually a numerous

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: of teams that were picking at it, you know, below ten,

22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, there's no shot that we have an

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: opportunity to get Rashaan. But there was a few traits

24
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: that happened. Draft sloting slid down, and all of a

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: sudden boom, he's available right there in thirteen. And I

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: think that having him available at thirteen on the board,

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: you kind of just knew that was going to be

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: the pick. Chargers went really heavy and free agency to

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: upgrade that old line, like we highlighted in our previous

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: film room with Filer, with Lindsley and with Obushi, and

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: so it's kind of a cherry on the top getting

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: a very young, talented plug in play, so to speak,

33
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: left tackle and rashawns Later, when I spoke to Rashwan

34
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: right after he was drafted, one of the first things

35
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: I referenced to him was that tweet that you put

36
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: out right after he was selected, and it said, we

37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: started this journey back in September two hundred forty two days,

38
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: two hundred plus workouts, thirty five weeks, eight months when

39
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: you were sitting there watching the draft and you saw

40
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: him get selected after all of that hard work. What

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: was your reaction? What were you feeling, Duke? I cried, Honestly,

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: I cried, and I get emotional with things like that

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: because people are realizing their dreams at that point. You know,

44
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: it's something that a lot of these guys have put

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: so much time, and I wanted to chroniclize, chroniclize, you know,

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: kind of the time frame in which Rashaan has spent

47
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: down here in the work that he put in to

48
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: really add text and perspective. Now, that was just the

49
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: last eight months leading up to the draft for him

50
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: to be selected in the first round, but it's really

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: a body of work that starts back in high school

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: and then college and all those workouts and every step

53
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: alone the way. So I was really emotional about it.

54
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: I get emotional about the Super Bowl every year. It

55
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who wins. It's just it's I have a

56
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: term at the end of our workouts and it's Benito.

57
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: That means it's over. And so there's something special about

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: the finalization of really realizing your dreams and all the

59
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: hard work that you've done. I think Draft night is

60
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: really the first event to kind of check off the

61
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: box for these guys becoming professionals. And then of course

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: every year the Super Bowl doesn't matter, so it was

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: really cool to see. I know there was probably I

64
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: was nervous, as I'm sure Rashaan was. I don't think

65
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: we expected him to get out the top ten, like

66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: we talked about, but just kind of how the board

67
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: fell with some of the quarterbacks and then you know,

68
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: many people thought that Dallas potentially was going to grab him.

69
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: They didn't pass on Michael Parson. But yeah, I think

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: the Charges really got a really great addition. How was

71
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: he going to fit in this offensive line room? I

72
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: know a lot of Charges fans that are watching this

73
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: or listening to this, watch your film room breaking down,

74
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Lindsley and Filer and Abushi, a guy you worked with,

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: You bring him into this offensive line room, and it's

76
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: about fit, it's about situation. He's got a lot of

77
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: veterans in there that he can lean on. Early on

78
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: we talk, we talk about the importance of leaning on

79
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: veterans so much, and there's a lot of young guys unfortunately,

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: and this is one of the things that explained or

81
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: shot when you're getting drafted in the top five or

82
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: sometime the top ten. The teams and the rooms that

83
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: you go to, they're depending on you right now, and

84
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: they're depending on you to be the guy. And a

85
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: lot of times those situations mean that there aren't established

86
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: veterans in there to lean on. He's got a lot

87
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: of experience on that starting offensive line, Brian Balaga when

88
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: he's one of the best right tackles in the league.

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Odeya Bushi has played a lot of football in a

90
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: lot of different places and just constant professional and the

91
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: guy that is a hired gun every single year and

92
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: just goes out there and does his job and does

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: it with authority and with that grit that we talked

94
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: about in the film room. The consistency of Corey Linsley,

95
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: like we brought up into the film room as well,

96
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, really kind of the brains on the old line,

97
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: so to speak, in terms of directing and pointing, protections

98
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. Has played with a lot

99
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: of played a lot of football with arguably one of

100
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks of our time, Matt Feiler. Same thing.

101
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: Has played a lot of football at right tackle and

102
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: a left guard with arguably one of the best quarterbacks

103
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: of our time and Ben Roethlisberger. So when you factor

104
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: in somebody who is as serious, cerebral and just clear

105
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: on who they are as Rashan, and you put them

106
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: into an environment where they've got a strong veteran room,

107
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about his development. And also I think

108
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: it's something special to be said that now you've got

109
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: a second year franchise quarterback who showed you who the

110
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: heck he's going to be. Now you've got the franchise

111
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: left tackle. They're going to grow and develop together. So

112
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: that's really going to be special for the Charges. It's

113
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: fun for me to watch you and Jeff Schwartz do

114
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: the Big Boys Club on Fox Man, and I watched

115
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: the rashawns Slater segment, and I suggest Charges fans do

116
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: the same if you haven't already. One of the things

117
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: you said to Jeff when just describing Rashawn was consistency.

118
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: What makes Rashawn so consistent? Again, I use the word

119
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: clear a lot. He's very clear on who he is,

120
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: his areas of strengths, and he always wants to play

121
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: into his areas of strengths while working on areas for improvement.

122
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm a true believer that for development. And then also

123
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: elite performers, they don't per se dwell on what they're

124
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: not good at. You know, what they do is they

125
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: try to find their very strength wheehouse and will that

126
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: and develop and mode that in to really cover up

127
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: areas for improvement. So I think what Rashawn already has

128
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: a lag up on what a lot of rookies are

129
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: is he's around a lot of veterans out here training,

130
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: but he understands who he is. He understands what he

131
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: needed to clean up to even get to this point,

132
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: which we've already addressed. And so I'm really excited that,

133
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, you know what you're gonna get with him.

134
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: He's the same person every single day. And again, I

135
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: think I kind of told the story on The Big

136
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Boys Club, which you can now find on YouTube. You

137
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: expect a young man Rashaw situation so much uncertainty with

138
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the season, his team is starting to have success, he's

139
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: away from home. You know, you can kind of sense

140
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: moods changing, and you kind of sense when you know

141
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: you need to re engage, he needs to dial back.

142
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: It was never like that with Sean. Sean used the

143
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: term clear came in every single day worked his tail off,

144
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: and if anything, we had to dial him back a

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: little bit when we're like, hey, listen, this is gonna

146
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: be a little less intense, more mental side. And of

147
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: course he wants to always pick up the tempo, so

148
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: that consistency and competitive nature and just the consistency with

149
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: bringing his lunch fail in his toolbox every single day,

150
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: ready to work, asking the right questions. He's always picking

151
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: Toronto Armstead's brain, like Kai Beckton's brain, Cam Robinson's brain,

152
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to get as much and aggregate

153
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: as much information as possible. Dude, he had the film

154
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: he had to take. He chose to opt out of

155
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and work with you those two hundred and

156
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: forty two days from when you started working with him

157
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: to when he got drafted. In what areas did you

158
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: see improvement for a guy that's obviously taking that big

159
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: lead to the NFL. Now, Well, the very first thing,

160
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: after about five or six weeks is we start to

161
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: notice a tremendous change in his body. He went from

162
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: being a big guy three ten, you know, had some

163
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: size and some muscle, clearly strong as hell. But then

164
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: he started to fill out and start to get really

165
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: muscular and start to get really lean, and that body

166
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: fat percentage went down into the teams while still holding

167
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: on to three twelve, three fifteen, So they the body

168
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: start to change, get leaned. The body's meant to perform

169
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: optimally and it's leaning state. So we checked that box

170
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: within the first six to eight weeks. And then what

171
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: we really did is we don't give a crap about

172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: your good film. Everybody talked about the Chase Sean film.

173
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Everybody talked about the two years of Chase Shan film

174
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: from when he played right tackle know about that. That's

175
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: what catapult him to be even be in the conversation

176
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: the top pick. But it's also just a piece because

177
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: when you turn all the rest of his film still

178
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: check the boxes across the board with the technique. But

179
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: what we wanted to do is we want to go

180
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: in and say, all right, what do we need to

181
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: improve on and why do we need to improve on it?

182
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: So we identify the what and the why, and that's

183
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: what we're really attacked. And so it was some small

184
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: technique things that we identified earlier on that we need

185
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: to improve that are now probably going to be areas

186
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: of strength for him. As we talked about when developing

187
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: these guys, we don't want to dwell on what they

188
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: can't do. We want to dwell on what they can

189
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: do and mode mode that in to be able to

190
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: cover some of those things up or improve those areas.

191
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: You know, dude, one of the things that struck me

192
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: when I spoke with Rashaan Thursday night was just a

193
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: very cool confidence about him and all of these things

194
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: he said was iron sharpers iron. When I said, you know,

195
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: you got Joey Bosa that you get to go up

196
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 1: against in practice on a day to day basis, I

197
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: mean to have not only have bets in the offensive

198
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: line room, but to have a guy like Joey Bosa

199
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: coming at you with the way he uses his hands.

200
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: He's a technician. Rishaw considers himself the technician. I mean,

201
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: how much is zek going to help him entering you know,

202
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: week one of the twenty one NFL season. I cannot

203
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: reiterate this enough. Though again we thought he was gonna

204
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 1: go on the top ten, going in number thirteen to

205
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: charge is probably the best thing that will happen for

206
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: his development in a career. Because of all the things

207
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: you just spoke about, iron sharpening iron in the old

208
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: lie room and then every day on the field on

209
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: against Bosa. You know, I think that is highly underrated

210
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: aspect of development. But think about all those resources that

211
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: you have that are now going to allow you to flourish.

212
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: All right, Confidence is the story we repeatedly tell ourselves.

213
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: So you told talked about how confident and that cool,

214
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: calm and collect that Rashawn has, And really what it

215
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: is is that self talk that reverts back to him

216
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: doing the work. He's very confident in who he is.

217
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: He's clearly who he is. He knows he's done the

218
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: work and he knows he's going to continue to do

219
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: the work. So when we talk about that who calm

220
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: and collectedness and your factor in that better in room,

221
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: and your factor in one of the best rushes in

222
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: the game right now, you've got to be excited about

223
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: the development curve that you're gonna see Rashaan half and

224
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: again that pick number thirteen is I'm proved to be

225
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: a tremendous landing spot. He's excited about protected Justin Herbert too.

226
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: Every time you mentioned the name Justin Herbert, his eyes

227
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: lit up and he's said, yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready

228
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: to take care of the franchise quarterback. Yeah. Again, as

229
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: I talked about how consistent he was with in terms

230
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: of preparation and just being the same guy, I kind

231
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: of lied a little bit because this week I saw

232
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: even bigger pepp in the step. You know, not to

233
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: say that ever, holding but it was like a refocused motivation,

234
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: so to speak, coming in this week knowing, you know,

235
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: really clear that Hey, I'm gonna be this team's left tackle.

236
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm stepping in with a veteran room. I've got a

237
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: young quarterback. He was really excited, really excited. So Duke,

238
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: I want to get you out here on this first,

239
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: what do you have going on? I know, the draft happens,

240
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,920

241
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: on a during the summer? And then you got to

247
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: line mastermind piece that was highlighted on NFL Network at

248
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:52,120

00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: to get to where he is right now, and we're

310
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: all excited for him, excited for his family and everyone

311
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: that has had a part in his development over the

312
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: years here at Duke coach Abber, what are the charges

313
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: getting in Chris as a player and a person? Well,

314
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: first of all, as a person, they're getting the first

315
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: class young man who's going to be at the face

316
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: of the organization. He's going to be a tremendous teammate,

317
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: He's going to be a tremendous leader. He's gonna be

318
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: someone that's gonna be early and he's gonna stay late,

319
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: going to do everything he can to maximize himself as

320
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: a football player. And you know you're getting someone someone

321
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: that's going to do whatever it takes to help the

322
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: organization get to where they want to be, which is

323
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: to be Super Bowl champions. He's a high quality young man.

324
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: His character is beyond approach, and you know he's someone

325
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: who's gonna have, in my opinion, along fruitful career in

326
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. Coach I looked the last two years all

327
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: acc selection that jump from twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen.

328
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: What did you notice about Chris's game? That allowed him

329
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: to kind of take that leaf and to be one

330
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: of the best defensive players in the ACCA. Well, the

331
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: one thing that he did a tremendous job in that

332
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: period for us was during the offseason really really getting

333
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: to understand exactly what we wanted to do with him.

334
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: And if you watch our film, you'll notice that we

335
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: put him in a lot of different places who tried

336
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: to take advantage of different things that we saw and

337
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: our analysis of of our opponents. And Chris did a

338
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: tremendous job off the field in terms of learning the defenses,

339
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: having a good solid understanding of exactly what we wanted

340
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: him to do, and he did a tremendous job when

341
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: we put him in those scenarios to win those one

342
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: on one situations that we created. And that's what it's

343
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: all about, absolutely, And you know it's I think I

344
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: told him this when he was drafted. It's not about

345
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: where you're drafted. It's all about the situation in which

346
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: you're drafted into. And you talk about this defense with

347
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: head coach Brandon Staley, who has had a track record

348
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: of success with guys like Kalil Back and Bradley Chubb

349
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: and Von Miller, and then guys like Joey Bosa in

350
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: that edge room. Just the fit. What do you think

351
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: of the fit for Chris Rump I think it's a

352
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: great fit. You know, he's a he's a you know,

353
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: a Swiss army knife, so to speak. He can do

354
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. You know, he has the

355
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: ability to rush the passer, he's athletic enough to drop

356
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: in the coverage. Uh, you know, he can do a

357
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: lot of different things. He's very smart, he's highly competitive,

358
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: he's very passionate about the sport of football. And uh,

359
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, he brings great energy. He's gonna make the

360
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: people around him better. And when you have that kind

361
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: of a person on the football field or a part

362
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: of your football team, you know, it's a lot of

363
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: fun to be around. What do you think it's going

364
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: to mean for him to share that room with a

365
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: guy like Joey Bosa, who's such a technician and has

366
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: been getting after quarterbacks for a long time in the NFL. Well,

367
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, Chris is gonna learn a

368
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: great deal from from you know, uh, all the guys, particular,

369
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: a guy like Joey Bosa, a guy that works hard,

370
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: who is someone that spends a great deal of time

371
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 1: on his craft. Um, you know, Chris is very similar

372
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: that way. You know, he's going to work hard, He's

373
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: going to do all the things necessary to put himself

374
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: in a position where he can maximize himself. And I think, uh,

375
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, being around someone a high caliber professional like

376
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: you know, Joey Bosa is going to be a tremendous

377
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: experience for Chris. And I look forward to seeing his

378
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: development because I do think that there's a great deal

379
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: of growth that's still out there for him. I was

380
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna say, you know, he's the son of a coach.

381
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: He obviously has has done things the right way, but

382
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: where can he go in terms of just scratching the

383
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: surface at the pro level. I imagine that there's still

384
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: more to his game that needs to be developed. Well,

385
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: there is still a great deal of growth and a

386
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: great deal of room for development. And and Chris, um,

387
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, as he continues to get stronger, um you know, uh, uh,

388
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: he's only played football. He started playing football as a

389
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: as a sophomore in high school, you know, and and

390
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: uh you know, he was he was one hundred and

391
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: ninety five pound kid when we recruited him the first

392
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: time I watched him on film. And uh, that spring

393
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: I went to I went down to uh to Florida,

394
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: his his high school, Bucost High School, had a spring

395
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: game in Tallahassee, and uh, you know, within the first

396
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: five plays of that spring game, Chris had a t

397
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: s Valley had a sack. He batted down the past.

398
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: Um you know, I mean, so he immediately made impact.

399
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: And it was the exact same thing I saw on

400
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: the film previously, prior to that game, you know. And

401
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, football is a game of h

402
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: of production. You know, when you watch film, you know,

403
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people try to figure out, you know,

404
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: what is it exactly that you're looking for, you know,

405
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: playing and simple defensively, we need guys that are going

406
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: to be playmakers, so we call them the racers, you know.

407
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: And he's that kind of a player. He's a guy

408
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: that can erase mistakes of others. And uh, you know, uh,

409
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, it may not necessarily be exactly how it's

410
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: drawn up, but at the end of the day, you

411
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: can't complain about the results. And that's what it's all about.

412
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things that I've heard a

413
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: great deal over the last several years. Here with the

414
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: Chargers is the Russian cover working together. Someone like Asante

415
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: Samuel Durwin James in the secondary. Sante Samuel Junior coach

416
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: is somebody that you saw a close and personal in

417
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: the accum What do you think of a Sante Samuel Jr.

418
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: In his fit with this team alongside Chris Well. I mean,

419
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: you know the game today with all the spread offenses,

420
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: you need to be able to have people that can

421
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: win one on one situations. Here at Duke we call

422
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: them junction points and they're all over the football field.

423
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: You have to be able to win your individual battles.

424
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: And you're absolutely right. It all does work together offense.

425
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean it all works together coverage along with with pressure.

426
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's no such thing. I tell the guys

427
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: all the time, there's no such thing as a as

428
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: a covered sack. You know, guys are supposed to be covering,

429
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: and while they're covering, we need to be coming over

430
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: the hill to get after the quarterback. You know. So

431
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: great pressure contributes to intersections and great coverage contributes to sacks.

432
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: So it all works together. We talk about it takes

433
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: all eleven to be a great defense. And when you

434
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: talk about the likes of a Joey Bosa and a

435
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Scante Samuels and now you know Chris Rump, you know,

436
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: those are guys that can win those individual battles that

437
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: we ask coaches try to create and manufacture. I think

438
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: it's going to be an exciting defense in the future

439
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: for the for the Chargers organization and coach. Last thing

440
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: for you, I'd be remiscervited as this either because I

441
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: was looking at the game last night between Duke and

442
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: Northwestern twenty eighteen. I think you guys won twenty one

443
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: to seven. But another player that the Charges drafted, Rashawn Slater.

444
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: You had the game plan against that guy in twenty eighteen.

445
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: What was it like game planning against him? Then? What

446
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: are the Charges getting in Rashawn Slater in twenty twenty one. Well,

447
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: I tell you what, It's amazing to see the development

448
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: of Critis and to see the development of Rashawn over

449
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and where they are. And

450
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think both of those guys are going

451
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: to be tremendous assets to the organization. He's a big, strong,

452
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: athletic kid that's capable of handling himself, and you know

453
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: we talked about winning those one on one battles. You know,

454
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: in order to be successful offensively, you have to be

455
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: able to do the exact same thing. So you know,

456
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys, I believe you guys had a

457
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: great deal of success in terms of the type of

458
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: people that you're bringing in. You're bringing in people who

459
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: are going to be able to win those junction points

460
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: that we've talked about and that we've mentioned earlier. So
