1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually did. Um, I played against him in seventeen. Um,

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: I think that was when they kind of first made

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: the transition, but they were still at the soccer field. UM,

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: so yeah I went against them. Um. Really really good receiver,

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: real savvy, savvy route runner, very explosive about his cuts

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: and uh, I mean he's definitely a main target in

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: the offense. Make it harder to kind of guy that

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: travels in the inside and outside and they kind of

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: isn't just in one one place where you know where

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: to find him all the time. Yeah. Um, I think

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: when you see a guy like that, especially when you're

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: watching film, Um, nowadays you got guys who are knowing

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: one spot, you know, you know where they're gonna be.

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna be at the backside X, they're gonna be

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: at the slot, or they're gonna be on the front

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: side with him. Like you're saying he's gonna be in

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: the slot, he's gonna be on the backside. They even

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: had snaps where they put him in the backfield. So, UM,

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: I think just us as a defense, we just have

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: to know where he is at all times because we

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: know that when he is in a different spot other

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: than the slot that you know, a lot of times,

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: that's the focal point. We went into match this morning. Yeah,

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: he came in the locker room and he was like, man,

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta do a meeting. He was like,

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: can I wear a chain right quick? And I was

27
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: like what He's like, Bro, please let me wear that side.

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: I let him put him put it on, But it

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: looks pretty nice on him. Yeah. Just talk about the

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: founders at the Chargers passing attack presents, you know, how

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of go about trying to stop those guys. Yeah, Um,

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: it all starts with the young quarterback. Um. I mean

33
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: he's having a phenomenal year right now. Um. Then you

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: go to their wide receiver corps with with Williams, and

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: then you got Keenan Allen, and they got the young

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: guy guiding as well, and then even you know, the

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: running back out the backfield he's a three as well.

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: So all across the board, Um, we have to know

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: that everybody's at the point of attack. Um, you can

40
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: have three guys covered and then one guy can come

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: loose and you don't know where that one guy is.

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: So we just all got to know. Um, from secondary

43
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: to the linebackers, everybody there. Everybody's at the point of attack,

44
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: I suppose Jonathan Jones and what do you gotta see them?

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: You've got to do to sort of make up for

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: that loss. Yeah, veteran guy, veteran peace. Um. Jay Jones

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: was actually one of the guys. He kind of came

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: late during OTA's UM once to start competing and stuff.

49
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Was helped me out with the playbook. Um, being a

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: vocal guy in the meeting room when he can, when

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: guys have questions about certain coverages, how we play certain things. Um.

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: But he showed up to meetings yesterday, kind of poked

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: his head in there and said a couple of words.

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: But definitely one of those vocal guys who's been in

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: this system and those the ins and outs. What's it

56
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: been like incorporating some of the new corners that he signed,

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: A couple of guys, this sweet Sean Wade as a

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: rookie that came back to practice. What's it like working

59
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: with those guys to kind of feel a boy? Yeah,

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: I was kind of. Um, it was crazy because this

61
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: offseason him going into I think his his pro that

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: he was kind of dealing with a think a turf

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: toe but throughout the offseason, me and him were kind

64
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: of training with the same trainer in Dallas. Um, so

65
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: I kind of got to be around him a little

66
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: bit in the off season. Now he's coming back, and

67
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: like you said, were signed a couple of new guys.

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: Bosby was a guy played with me in Philadelphia, and

69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: then Paul was a guy of course I've known, um

70
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: just coming out of Florida and then playing in Atlanta.

71
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: So um, I think the guys that we brought in

72
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: and the dish in the shine coming back, I think

73
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: we got some good, nice pieces. Where you're training with Sean,

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: is that who were Yeah, well he was more getting

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: ready for Proday. I was more just all season training,

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: so we were kind of on two different time schedules,

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: but we would definitely cross paths and had a talk

78
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: with him a couple of times throughout the off season.

79
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: For sure. How much you think he might be able

80
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: to act, you know, once he gets held the field. Yeah,

81
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely gonna be a great addition. He's

82
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: a guy who played big time football, so um, it

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't be no game that's too big for him. Of course,

84
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: this is the NFL, but him being at Ohio State. Um.

85
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: And then just learning the skin and I always asking questions.

86
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a very very good addition.

87
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Seems like a taller, like maybe a little lankier like

88
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: does he does this builder style? Maybe spurred thoughts of

89
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: anyone that you played with in this as Um can't

90
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: say it, Uh reminds me of anybody that I played

91
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: with in the past. But one thing that I noticed

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: once he came into building. If you made the trade,

93
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: like you said, a long, lanky guy, long arms. Um,

94
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you want to see, you know,

95
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: from from you know, these young guys coming out, and

96
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: of course us like to play at the line of scrims.

97
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Being able to touch guys the line of scrimp. That's

98
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of twying to see. John, I'm studying the passing

99
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: game as a whole, not necessarily just MANI, but the concept. Yeah, um,

100
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: very much so. UM. I'm kind of a guy regardless

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: whatever the scheme is for the week, um or the

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: down and distance, whatever it may be. Um, I am

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: a guy that likes the studies, you know, the route concepts,

104
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: whether you know it's a condensed formation, whether receiver like

105
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: the stimmest routes. Whether you know the back is to

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: me is the back of the way. Is a tight

107
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: end to me? Is the tight end off the ball?

108
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: All those different type of things. They tell you a

109
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: lot within the formation before the play starts. Um, he's

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: a football player, you know, regardless of his size, it

111
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Um, he was a guy. Also. I remember

112
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: going get into i think the Saints week. Um, every

113
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: day he was in the weight room and I said, bro,

114
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: you're living weights every day. He was like, yo, Like,

115
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure that I'm ready, you know, so

116
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: once I get my chance that you know, I don't

117
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: have to get ready. And I mean he showed just

118
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: this past weekend, you know, all that work that he

119
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: was putting in throughout these weeks not knowing you know,

120
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: we had a freak injury with with Jay Jones. He

121
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: gets elevated up and then now he's out there playing

122
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: a big time role for us and making big time play. So, um,

123
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: me can't do number respect that man, he's a football player.

124
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I know, I would just see

125
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: him over there and the squad rough or trying to

126
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: do bench pressing, different things like that. I'm pretty sure

127
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: just correct the stuff. Just trying to make sure his

128
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: body is ready to go once he goes out there.

129
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: Team that goes quite a bit on poortdown. What's the

130
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: mindset of the of your defense? You know, you make

131
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: a stop on third and here they come back and

132
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: not just once a game, several times a game. How

133
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: do you handle that? It's those, um, those big third

134
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: down plays, those big third down stops you know that

135
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: we have, and you know, you want to celebrate and

136
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: get ready to you know, run to the sideline, get

137
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: the punt return team in, you know, to get the

138
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: offense on the field. But now it's more of a

139
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: once we make a play, we have to be looking

140
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: to their sideline. We got to be looking to those

141
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: coaches to see, if you know, if their offense is

142
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: staying on the field, because we have to be ready.

143
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: We got to know going into this game we have

144
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: to play out four downs. Do you like the fact

145
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: that they do it so much and you have a

146
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: chance to, you know, stop them in their tracks and

147
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: get the opensive. I mean the three and out, that's

148
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty sweet right there. You know, I can't I can't,

149
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: I can't complain about it. Three and out but if

150
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: we do get an opportunity to be able to stop

151
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: them on fourth down, you know, you guys, you are

152
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: alot of football. You know that's momentum swings within the

153
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: football game just at one place. So for sure, you know,

154
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: if we get that opportunity, we have to execute. All right,
