1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: The league fifteen to ten touchdown sucker.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: What's up? Guys? Welcome into an off season edition of

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: Chargers Weekly. And when I say off season, buddy, I

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: really mean the off season. The guys have gone home,

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: they've broke camp for the summer. Training camp five six

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: weeks away. But guess what, fans come through and we

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: got a ton of questions that we're going to answer

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: over the next forty minutes or so.

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was, you know, we got the dates, and

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I was like, Okay, I guess I'm

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: not going anywhere in the middle of July. Normally we're

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: used to showing up end of July. But Coach Harball

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: is like, no, Ricky's going to be here July sixteenth.

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: Vets You're gonna be here July twenty third. So yeah,

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: we get rolling early. This is I mean, as far

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: as I can remember, it's the earliest we're gonna be

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: going back for training camp. The NFL official back together again.

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: You know, training camp day that they do the whip

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: around all thirty two camps isn't till July twenty ninth.

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: So those rookiees is gonna have act of a head

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: start and in the vets as well. So it's gonna

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. It's I mean, it's a

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: month away. We're we're less than a month away from rookies.

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: So we got this small little window and as you said,

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: you put the call out, you, you put up the

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: bolt signal and people have picked up their their bolt

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: phones and called in with some great content. We lean

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: on you, the people. That's how lazy we are today.

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: You create our content.

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, first week with the guys like we need, we

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: need some help, and you guys came through in a

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: big way before we started. Did you see Horballs miiked up?

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I did. It's great, It's god. If the NFL had

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: their way, they they would have Harball miked up every game,

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: all game. And I don't know what's over at NFL

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Network now in terms of original programming, but that was

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: always one of my favorites. You know, I don't remember

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: if it would show up on Monday or Tuesday, but

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: they would have the half hour micd Up Show and

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: just kind of a best of and you would assume

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: he'd be front and center for darn near all of them.

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he definitely would be. Hey, before we get started.

43
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: Did you see Austin Eckler on the Kay Adams Show.

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: I did, Yeah, do you want to talk about it

45
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: because a lot of fans are, I think upset about

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: what he said. And I listened to the entire interview

47
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: and listen, I have empathy for these guys. First, he

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: was incorrect in saying they want a guy to run

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: the ball three hundred times. That's not what they want.

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: They don't want that. They want a guy who can

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: be physical and maybe collectively run the ball at a

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: physical level three hundred times. And that's not Austin's game.

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I feel like, you know, Kay

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: kind of said, well, hey, you know what, why wouldn't

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: they want you? And he kind of had to give

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: an answer.

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Well, for me, Austin's not here because he wanted more money.

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: That's really what it comes down to. I think if

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: he would have taken the same number that Gus Edwards

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: took or the same you know, JK. Dobbins is on

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: a proven deal. It's it's a one point twenty five

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. Gus Edwards is on a two year,

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: four and a half million dollar deal. You combine those

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: two and Austin Eckler's making more. So it's for me,

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: it's and good for him. I am all for football

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: players making as much money as they can. It is

67
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: a gnarly way to make a living. It is a

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: short career, and you have got to squeeze every possible

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: cent out of it because when you're done, you're done,

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: and you're staring at having to start a second career

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: or invest your money wisely and live off what you

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: managed to make over the span of a half decade

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: maybe in some cases seven eight years. In some cases,

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's not even thirty yet, So I

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: get it. Go get the money, man. It's not because

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: they need a guy who can carry the ball three

77
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: hundred times. Now that the backs they did sign are

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: a lot bigger than Austin is. You know, Austin, even

79
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: though he's strong as an ox man and pound for

80
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: one of the strongest guys, just wasn't that physical back

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: at the point of attack? You know? That could get

82
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: you Think about how many third and twos and fourth

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: and ones we routinely would see the Chargers come up short.

84
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not putting that all on Austin. I'm just

85
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: saying I think that's a let's tear this whole thing

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: apart and figure out how we can get better in

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: short yardage. Then perhaps Austin was a part of that,

88
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: but I didn't have any issue with him saying they

89
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: wanted to go in a different direction. That was a misalignment,

90
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: I think was the word that he used to describe

91
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: why he's not here anymore. But I assume you're also

92
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: talking about the perceived shot that he took at Justin

93
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Herbert Oh with the with the podcast.

94
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: Oh we talked about Jane Daniels and in leading or

95
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: what did he say about Justin?

96
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was talking about Philip and just how Philip led,

97
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, like you would expect a fifteen year vet

98
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: to lead, how he would come up to you and

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: practice and be like, no, this isn't the way we're

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: doing it. This is the way we do it. And

101
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: he was there to make the calls and let everyone

102
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: know where they're supposed to be and put everyone in

103
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: their places. And he said when Justin came in, he's

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: a rookie. He doesn't have that level of leadership. He

105
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: doesn't have that level of command. So it was two

106
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: completely different, you know, styles, of quarterbacking from when I

107
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: He's like when I came in, I'm this undrafted free agent.

108
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: Here's Philip Rivers, you know, one of the greatest to

109
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: ever do it, setting everything up and you're just ready

110
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: to plug and go. Whereas with Justin you didn't get

111
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: that because he's a rookie. So some people thought it

112
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: was a shot, but I did not take it as

113
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: a shot at all. I think it was just an on.

114
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we know what Philip was like out there. Yeah, Philip,

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: bite your head off if you were at one step

116
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: out of place. It's just the way he was. And

117
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: certainly Justin's not like that.

118
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: I'm of the mind, if you know, if a guys

119
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: I hear anymore, you don't need to worry about what

120
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: they say. You know. Give give Austin his props for

121
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: what he did for the Chargers, how he busted his tail.

122
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: He was gat undrafted free agent twenty seventeen and put

123
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: together some really good years to this team.

124
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: And he did.

125
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: He said it was bittersweet too, leaving the Chargers, and

126
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: I imagine what I was. You know, you go to

127
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: the East Coast, you get reunited with coach Lynn and

128
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury and a rookie quarterbacks, you know, so I

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: wish Austin well and hey, did you have Chris Harrison

130
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: with you and O'Neill.

131
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: Not that what that comment did not come from his

132
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: appearance with us, but we have had We've had Chris

133
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: on multiple times. I had Chris fill in once for

134
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: Low when Low couldn't do it. So I did a

135
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: whole like forty minutes with Chris, and we love Chris.

136
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: Chris was Chris.

137
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: I think his comment got taken out of context a

138
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: little bit too, Like, you know, you're talking about whether

139
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: or not Justin's clutch or not, And if you listen

140
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: to the rest of that interview with Kay, he mentions that, yeah,

141
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: of course, with the right coaching, with the proper defense,

142
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: and with the right personnel around him, yeah you could

143
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: be clutched in the fourth quarter. But you know, basically,

144
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: former players don't worry about what they have to say

145
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: too much, don't put too much stock in it. Focus

146
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: on the harbor.

147
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't like the I didn't think that

148
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: Chris's comments were fair. I just didn't you know, you

149
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: can point to the Jacksonville loss. The guy did build

150
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: a twenty eight to nothing lead. They could not run

151
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: the ball. They had a number of defensive lapses, and

152
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, that to me is not on justin. I

153
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: don't feel like, did he miss some throws? Yeah, but whatever,

154
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, like you're up twenty eight nothing, defense has

155
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: got to help you out. Now, the team only scored

156
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: three points in the second half, I get that part

157
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: of it. But again, they were trying to work the

158
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: clock to their favor and just couldn't do it. And

159
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: the guy was put in obvious passing situations in third

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: and longs and that's you know, and you had a

161
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: miss field goal in there. So it's not like But

162
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: my point what I said when I first heard that

163
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, was there's just no way

164
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: you can make that statement knowing that the Week eighteen

165
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders.

166
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: Was about to come out of and that's all that's

167
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: all idea to say, just turn that shit.

168
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: That's that yeah, that that game exists. He had, that

169
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: game won, and it's one of the greatest. You know,

170
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: had they won the game, that fourth quarter performance would

171
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: go down as one of the all time great fourth

172
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: quarters by a quarterback in NFL history. Like that thing

173
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: would go down as so, Yeah, like you said that,

174
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Chris isn't here anymore. He's working with with Believe and

175
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: doing the Broncos stuff, and you know, maybe there's a

176
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: little something there. You know, you just got to work

177
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: on the we do it. I love taking shots at

178
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders and you know, take shots of the Chargers.

179
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: It's fine, you know, it's it's fine. But I didn't

180
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: think that was fair either. And by the way, I

181
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: just want to make sure I had it right. Yes,

182
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: Austin two years, eight point four million. You know you

183
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: got you got Gus and JK for a combined three

184
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: million bucks this year.

185
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's get to these questions. Let's start

186
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: with an eternal question, Jamen. This is a good question, Mandy.

187
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: Out of the twenty twenty three rookies, who do y'all

188
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: think is going to make the biggest jump this year?

189
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: And then the second part, this is fun. A Chargers

190
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: touchdown that still gives you chills. I'll start real quick.

191
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: I think that you could pick Quinton Johnson. I think

192
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: you could pick Scott Mattlock. I'm going to go with

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: Deyon Henley. I think Dean Henley is going to take

194
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: the big lead because he's going to get the playing

195
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: time that he deserves and that's just all going to

196
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: take care of itself. The Chargers touchdown that gives me chills.

197
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: One of my favorite calls by you, twenty eighteen Kansas

198
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: City Mike Williams, the touchdown end the two point conversion

199
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: to win that game. I still will never forget being

200
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: at the tippy top of Arrowhead Stadium trying to make

201
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: out what happened and still being in disbelief that the

202
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: Charge came all the way back to beat the Chiefs

203
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: in primetime.

204
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the biggest touchdown that I've called in my career,

205
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: maybe one of my favorites, just because I was able

206
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: to be part of something and I you know, tried

207
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: to keep myself as small a part of it as possible.

208
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: But being able to call Antonio Gates record setting touchdown,

209
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: you know from Philip Rivers was pretty special. And it

210
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: wasn't you know it was it was in the temporary home,

211
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, when we were over there at the time.

212
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: I think it was Dignity Health or I don't know

213
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: what it was at the time, what it was called

214
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: at the time, but you know, the stadium there in Carson,

215
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: so it wasn't the best atmosphere, but just to be

216
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: on the field before kind of have a feeling it

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: was going to happen that day, and then seeing it

218
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: happen and seeing that connection with Philip Rivers and Antonio

219
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: Gates and and then after the game, you know, you

220
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: were there, Chris after the game, you just see how

221
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: special it was and that that locker room with those

222
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: particularly those two individuals was really special to be on

223
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: the periphery and witness. But in terms of you know, impact, yeah,

224
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I think the job h Palmer. Again, they didn't win

225
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: the game in Week eighteen, but man, when when Palmer

226
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: caught that touchdown, that was like a holy crap moment,

227
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: this is really they're gonna pull this off. You know

228
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: they didn't, but in that moment, you're like, I can't

229
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna pull this off. This is gonna happen.

230
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: And that touchdown was pretty darn special too. As far

231
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: as the jump, I'm not going to disagree with you.

232
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: It's Dan. He's he's gonna be the start. He's going

233
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: to be a starter. Now, Will Matt Locke, he was

234
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: out there with the ones with Poona, So he's got

235
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: a shot. You know, they need they need that kind

236
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: of that that kind of bulk and that strength and

237
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: that girth and that run stopping ability on the interier

238
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: of the line. And he was out there with the ones.

239
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: It was Khalil, Joey Poona Ford and Scott Matt Locke.

240
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: So those are to me the two the two obvious ones,

241
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: uh that that I would probably suggest have a real

242
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: good shot of working out.

243
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: This is from Miami Money. Which position do you guys

244
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: still see that needs to be addressed asap? Who are

245
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: your top three candidates to fill that position? Love the podcast?

246
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for all the work you put in

247
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: to keep us fans informed. What do you think money?

248
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I love that they signed Tony Jefferson.

249
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: That's great. You know, that's what Derwin wanted. And so

250
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means they're done there, but

251
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: I would assume he showed them something right that that

252
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: led them to sign him. But safety is the one

253
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: I have the most concerned about, just and corner for

254
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: that matter. You know, I don't I don't know how

255
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: how much Stefan Gilmore has left, but he played pretty

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: darn well last year in Carolina, I wouldn't mind seeing

257
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: another corner just to help with the depth at that position.

258
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: So those two come to mind. Defensive line we talked about,

259
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: you know right now you're ones on the depth charter

260
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: are both you know, Scott matt Lock and Poona Ford.

261
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: So I think that's probably something i'd keep an eye

262
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: on as well. So, yeah, that that's probably And I

263
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: think if Jefferson has if he's the guy, you know,

264
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: if Tony Jefferson's the guy, and they're comfortable with him,

265
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: then okay, we're good. Then we're good. It's just it's

266
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: a little you know, I'm looking at I wanted to

267
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: look up his age. So he's thirty two, he's is

268
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: he thirty two? Yeah, so he's thirty two, just turn

269
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: thirty two, so you get you know, it's an athletic position.

270
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: You need to have athleticism play at a high safety

271
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: SKI year. So that's the only thing.

272
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: Maybe a little fresher than most guys out there right now.

273
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that would be the one that I was

274
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: most concerned about because you want Derwin to be able

275
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: to move around and be as versatile and get that

276
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: assignment that that coach Maynor wants him to have every

277
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: single game and having a safety does that, So that

278
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: would be I still think those are the corner, safety,

279
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: de tackle are the are the spots that you could

280
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: probably say, based on who's released and who becomes available

281
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: throughout training camps, a spot where you could see.

282
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: Some turn no uh no arguments on all three of

283
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: those positions. I think those are the top three. I

284
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: would say, maybe, you know, adding to the corner room,

285
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: especially when you have these edge rushers, getting a veteran

286
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: like a gil Moore or somebody who has that requisite

287
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: experience to pair with. You know, we always hear that

288
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: that Russian cover working together. Getting another body, a veteran

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: body in that secondary wouldn't.

290
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: Be a bad move.

291
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: But in terms of ASAP, I think I think Georgie's

292
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: and Jim Harbaugh have done a really nice job just

293
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: kind of continuing to stack this roster with with moves,

294
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: even post draft with DJ Shark and Bud Dupree. So

295
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: let's let's see here, rule ass. I think a lot

296
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: has been made about QJ and Derwin not being used

297
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: the way they should be with past coaching regime, and

298
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: what ways do you expect their respective rules to shift.

299
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: Where will DJ line up and what type of routes

300
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: will QJ run? Well, you talked about Derwin last week, uh,

301
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: and how he's going to be used differently, maybe on

302
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: a week to week basis as opposed to being moved

303
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: around throughout the course of a sixty minute game. And

304
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: as far as Quentin is concerned, we've talked about that too.

305
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: Just getting him on the run he is. He is

306
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: an athletic run after catch type wide receiver, and if

307
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: you can get him in those positions, then he's got

308
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: a really good shot to have a good sophomore season.

309
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: Money In terms of, you know, using Derwin or QJ

310
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: the wrong way, I think it's important to, you know,

311
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: kind of provide some context. I don't think they wanted

312
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: to use Quinton the way they did last year. The

313
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: injury to Mike perhaps forced their hand, But I do

314
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: think there maybe could have been a conversation of I know,

315
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: we need a big receiver, we need an X, we

316
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: need someone in the outside that can you know, and

317
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: he fits the body type, he's got the speed. But

318
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: I think that's where you have to ask yourself, are

319
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: we going to set him back or are we going

320
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: to damage the confidence. This is not what he's good at.

321
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: So I think what you're going to see Quintin do

322
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot more of this year. And you heard, You've

323
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: heard everybody that's been asked about him intimate. This got

324
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: to play with strengths, and his strengths at TCU were

325
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: quick hitters. Just get the ball in his hands. He

326
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: led at the NC double. You know, he led NC

327
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: double a power five in yards have to catch, So

328
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: that tells you you don't want him running deep and

329
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: ask you know, you don't want to ask him to

330
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: track the ball and it catches over his shoulder and

331
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: fight for fifty to fifty balls downfield, have to deal

332
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: with the sideline as an extra defender, all that sort

333
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: of stuff. Get him in the middle of the field,

334
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: get him on crossers and let him get to work there.

335
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: In terms of Derwin, yeah, they probably gave him a

336
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: little too much last year. The defense was a mess

337
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: last year, right, It was one of the worst defenses

338
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: in the league and could not stop giving up explosive plays.

339
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: And with the injury to Joey and all the and

340
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: then the issues with the linebacking corps, they did have

341
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: some serious injuries that dis you know, the the inability

342
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: for JC to make an impact at corner and that

343
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: thing being a complete disaster. You know, I think led

344
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: just to trying to put a band aid over a

345
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: hole that was this big, and that meant moving Derwin

346
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: around way too much and just asking too much of him.

347
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, said a couple Ben Herbert questions. I'm really

348
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 2: curious to know what real difference is Ben Herbert has

349
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: been bringing to the team's workouts and recovery. Hey, fellas,

350
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: what are the players saying about conditioning with Ben Herbert

351
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: and company versus the old regime? Do they feel better

352
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: physically mentally with the new crew? From what we see

353
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: through pictures, it looks like it's night and day and

354
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: there's a purpose in reasoning. That's from meerkat Manor and

355
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: al and I would agree that there's purpose in reasoning. Now,

356
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: you know, the results. We won't know until trading camp

357
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: in the season, right whether these guys can stay healthy,

358
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: kind of limit injuries and be ready to go in

359
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter when it counts. Now, it looks great

360
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: right now, and I think you're getting rave reviews from

361
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: the guys, But that's not a question you can answer

362
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: in June. This is a question that that is better

363
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: to be addressed. I think maybe September October, once these

364
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: guys have maybe four weeks under their belt in the

365
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: regular season.

366
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: The only the only thing I would add to that

367
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: is they're excited to talk about it.

368
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 2: They like it.

369
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: That's that to me is the biggest difference. I've not

370
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: heard this team, and it's you know, it's not them,

371
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: I think taking I don't think it's the players taking

372
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: a shot at their previous strength and conditioning coaches because

373
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: they weren't really asked about them. So maybe they did

374
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: enjoy it as much, you know, with with with Anthony

375
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: and with John Lott and all of that, they just

376
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: weren't asked. The only thing I can really remember ever

377
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: asking about strength and conditioning was when when Lot had

378
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: them work out barefoot because he thought maybe it would

379
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: help strengthen their feet and loosen their feet up a

380
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: little bit to maybe prevent all those foot injuries. That's

381
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the only time I can ever remember asking about strength

382
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: and conditioning. So Ben Herbert comes in with this reputation

383
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: as the best strength and conditioning coach in football. So

384
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: you're going to be asked about him a lot, but

385
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: I do think there is some You can see it.

386
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: You can see it in body language. When players are

387
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: answering the question, they get excited. They like talking about it.

388
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: They love talking about the sleds and the medicine balls

389
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: and the fourth quarter period that they have after practice.

390
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: Megan just posted something on social with Justin Herbert and

391
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: it's all of him, you know where, And he doesn't

392
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: like He's very humble and shows humility all the time.

393
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't like attention on himself. But he's in there

394
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: working out with Herbert and doing his bands and doing

395
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: his work, and he's laughing and he's like giving him

396
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: looks and waving and stuff like that. So that would

397
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: lead you to think, yeah, he's enjoying himself. So that

398
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: to me is, look, you want these guys in there, right,

399
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: You want them in there as much as possible, voluntarily

400
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: come on in. Yeah, I'm here. What do you want

401
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: to do? You know that's what you want. And it

402
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: appears as though that's that's happening and they're buying in now. Ultimately,

403
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: his job is number one job is to provide a availability.

404
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: You know, the coaches will work on the ability part.

405
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: The strength and conditioning coach is going to work on

406
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: the availability part, and that's are you available in the

407
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter? Are you available with full effort in the

408
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter? Can you give ninety five percent when your

409
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: opponent can only give ninety percent? That's what, like you said,

410
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: we'll get our idea around the first four weeks of

411
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: if there is a significant jump in the way these

412
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: guys perform late in games and stay healthy.

413
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: Well, he comes in very heralded, I mean from Michigan.

414
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: You hear about all the Michigan's fans talking about losing

415
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: Ben Herbert and what Ben Herbert has been to that program,

416
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: and you know, it's fun to hear the players talk

417
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: about kind of a more of a collegiate atmosphere in

418
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: that regard the attention to detail, which is something we've

419
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: heard all off season. Yeah, you know, John Lott did

420
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: shave just Herbert's head for the record his rookie year,

421
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: So that was another.

422
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Job John mist big mistake. Lottie folks did not like that.

423
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: We love John Lott, though, Hey, what's the most sizer

424
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: right under the radar? Camp battle money? This is a

425
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: good one.

426
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: This from David Thompson, who, well, it's not a battle yet,

427
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: but I think I think it's gonna I'm trying to

428
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: think I was gonna say right guard, just because we

429
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: don't know right we don't quite know what Tray's gonna

430
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: be yet, and I think it's such an important position

431
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: because of the value that this coaching staff puts on

432
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: offensive line feels like those other four set. You know

433
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: it's it's Bozeman. He's been celebrated. They talked about why

434
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: they signed him, the leadership he brings, how he fits

435
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: in perfectly. We know Joe Alt's getting the start at

436
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: right tackle, Slater at left tackle, and Zion at left guard.

437
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: So in order for this offense to work, the for

438
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: it to really work, if you've got a dominant offensive line,

439
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: like in the conversation as one of of one of

440
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: as one of the five best offensive lines in the league,

441
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: what Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman can do with with

442
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: that level of advantage going into every game offensively is

443
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: is what's really gonna make a difference in this season.

444
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: So that that's I think the most impactful battle. I

445
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: think slot corner is gonna be. That's gonna be heated.

446
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: I do think tarhive Still's got a shot to get that.

447
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: You know, John Taylor is there right now, But what

448
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: if they find another outside you know, how does that work?

449
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: Is a sante in that conversation. Then if they find

450
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: a bigger bodied outside corner, So that to me is

451
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: is probably the That's another that's probably the most impactful

452
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: battle on the on the defensive side. And then and

453
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: the most important one in terms of like a roster spot,

454
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: I think is probably that third safety. You know, just

455
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: because you've got a lot invested there in J. T. Woods.

456
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: It's a third round pick in this third season who's

457
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: expected to make an impact. And you know, if you

458
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: can't win that battle, then I don't I don't quite know,

459
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, kind of what what's going to go on there?

460
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say that you got that fourth safety.

461
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: I guess you know, if you're assuming Tony Jefferson is

462
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: the third.

463
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: Safety, Yeah, I am.

464
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think it's a huge training camp for J. T.

465
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: Woods the slack corner too. I was going to say, Bunny,

466
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: when when you hear tarhe Still and his name come

467
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: out of Jim Harball's bout during the micd up a

468
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: couple of times, and you mentioned you were there when

469
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: he had a big day.

470
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: He's a player. Man, that guy could be.

471
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 2: The slack corner and I don't think he's a rookie

472
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: that that the fierce competition. And that's another position, the

473
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: right guard. Yeah, I mean Sawyer's there. Big Fadden can

474
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: tray make that transition and make it effortlessly, so he's

475
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 2: ready to go week one. There's there's so many little ones.

476
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: And then you know, like we I think we are

477
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: assuming that Colson and Henley will be your will be

478
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: your starters, and Perryman just you know, sprinkled in there

479
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 2: as a hammer. But just how the linebacker room shakes

480
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: out too, that's going to be interesting. And you know,

481
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: I'll just I'll end with the wide receivers because the

482
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: order in which we see the wide receivers right now,

483
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: Your guess is as good as mine, And I think

484
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: we have a couple of questions about this we could

485
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: talk about.

486
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would imagine there's a lot about the wide receivers.

487
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're all everybody wants to know how much

488
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: is Herbert going to be throwing it, who's going to

489
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: be catching it? How can we get him back in

490
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: the cop people. As we've said before, I don't know why,

491
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: but they do. They are. So people get so caught

492
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: up about where their quarterback is ranked, about where talking

493
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: heads say, what tier they think Herbert is in versus Burrow,

494
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: versus Lamar Jackson and all of that stuff. People get

495
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: really upset about it. And as Herbert said in his

496
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: press are I don't care. Do I want to throw

497
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: at every plate? Yes, but if me throwing at fifteen

498
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: times leads to a win, then let's go. Don't care,

499
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: get the game plan for that week, go execute it.

500
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: Exploit the soft spots of the defense that you're facing,

501
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: however best they can be exploited.

502
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: Well, if you don't want to hear quarterback to your talk,

503
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: just turn off the television in June.

504
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: It's all it is right now, because it moves the needle.

505
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: Like I said, people get emotional about it. So of

506
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: course they're going to tune in to see and get

507
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: upset about how dare you? How dare you rank Joe

508
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: Burrow ahead of Lamar Jackson? He's won two MVPs. You

509
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: out of your mind? The guy can't stay healthy. Where's tua?

510
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: Tua led the most explosive offense in the league last year?

511
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? You know, there's c J.

512
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: Stroud After one year, You've got him in the top five.

513
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: You kidding me? And it's it's you know, look, it's

514
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: what do you do? You programmed what people can pick

515
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: aside out and button fired up about. Absolutely, I do.

516
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: I do, however, and even you know, just expose myself

517
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: and say, I'm going to use I can relate to

518
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: this as well. Like the the the individuals that do

519
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: the CJ. Stroud praise and throw shade at Herbert are

520
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: the ones that that befuddle me, because I'm like you guys,

521
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: you do remember what Herbert's rookie season looked like with

522
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen, right, you do remember that he was c J. Stroud,

523
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: That he he broke every record, that he had the

524
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: best rookie season since Andrew Luck, that he had the

525
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: best rookie arguably the best rookie campaign ever, you know,

526
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: and and people forget that, and then well he's you know, CJ.

527
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: This this was incredible. This is different.

528
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: This is different.

529
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like you know, look what he did, well, yeah,

530
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: look at the division he was in. You know, Herbert

531
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: was trying to deal with Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes

532
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs and that that rookie season, And he

533
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: went into an AFC South that that had an injured

534
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence had a declining and out of the lineup

535
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and rookie Will Levis and an Indianapolis team

536
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: that lost their starting quarterback in like week two. So

537
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to navigate that division than Justin

538
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Herbert was asked to do with Max Crosby and the

539
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: Raiders and Derek Carr and that offense that had been

540
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: you know, had been stagnant and been working for together

541
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: for so long with John Gruden and then anyway, that's

542
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: the one that always gets me.

543
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: It's like they're so silly, and you, you know what, buddy,

544
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: you just have to you have to wave the white

545
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: flag until Justin and hook.

546
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: Up at her It doesn't matter as matter where your

547
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: quarterback is ranked, does not matter. It's just it's a

548
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: subjective list. Let them put them where they want.

549
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: This is from Andrew Loyer. Hey, guys, I'm curious about

550
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: what you think about this question. Who is the bigger

551
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: tackle prospect entering the draft? Slater or Alt. Now, if

552
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: you remember, Penney Sewell went before Slater. Slater went right

553
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: after Michael Parsons, and he dropped like he fell into

554
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: the lapse of the Chargers. I guess, if I had

555
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: to pick which one, maybe Alt, just because this was

556
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: such a heralded tackle class and he was the first

557
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: one off the board. But I'll preface it by saying this,

558
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 2: If All is anything close to Slater, then we're a

559
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: good shape. You're in good shape as a charge of

560
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: fan because Slater, I think still is the best left

561
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: tackle in football. You can make that argument with a

562
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: lot of different maybe three or three other guys, but

563
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: Trent Williams, Yeah, Trent, Trent a year older with Trent,

564
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, Trent, Trent's gonna be a Hall of Famer

565
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: Gold Jackie guy. But I just think that for Shawn's

566
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: injury his second year, I think people forgot how dominant

567
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: he was here.

568
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: Yes, So I think that's that's a good question for

569
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: us to ask DJ when we get him on. I

570
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: would be interested to see what grade he had on

571
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: Alt versus what grade he had on Slater, because he

572
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: likes Slater more than Sewell. The issue with Slater, the

573
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: reason why Slater slid and why he wasn't as herald

574
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: at a prospect was his measurables. He doesn't have incredibly long arms.

575
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: He's not six foot five, and that led some people

576
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 1: to talk about is he a better guard? You know,

577
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: that's that conversation then comes in. But his anchor is

578
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: so good, his ability to reset, his sets are incredible.

579
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: But when he resets and nobody resets quicker like it's

580
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: and once he gets his hands on you, it's over.

581
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: So that's a good question. I think the thing with

582
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Alt because the word in the question is prospect, it's

583
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: probably all you've got his fire. John who's you know,

584
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: was one of the best tackles in football for a

585
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: decade plus. He was the best offensive lineman on a

586
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame team that I think won the Old Lineman

587
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: Award twice. Well, he was the best olignment on that line.

588
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: So you're talking about and with measurables that we just

589
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: don't see. You don't see someone that tall be that

590
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: dominant because they're asked to get a little bit lower.

591
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: But then when you can do that and you have

592
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: those types of levers and that type of leverage, you

593
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: can really mess some people up, so it's probably all

594
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: But that's a good Let's let's put a put a

595
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: pin in that and make sure we asked DJ, because

596
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: that would be i'd I'd love to know which one

597
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: he gave a higher grade to.

598
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: Seems like a good training camp podcast when when DJ's there. Yeah,

599
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Wright, how many total sacks do you expect the

600
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: four edge rushers will end up with? Also, do you

601
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: believe or rather, who do you believe has the higher

602
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: floor offense or defense? You know what, Kevin? For as

603
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: far as sacks are concerned.

604
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: It's an interesting floor.

605
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: I'd much rather talk about quarterback hits and pressures in

606
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: all those things, because you know, we joked with Touley

607
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: last year how he set people up all season long.

608
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: So collectively, you know, sacks, pressures, hits, like, if you

609
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: add all that up, I don't know. I mean, it

610
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: depends on if these guys are all healthy. If they're

611
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: all healthy, I mean, this has the makings money of

612
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: being a pretty deadly unit. With Bosa Mack, a twenty

613
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: one year old Tuley, and a grizzled veteran like Bud Dupree.

614
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: I think they get a lot. I do. I think

615
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: they can get a lot if they stay healthy, just

616
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: because of the schedule. When you look at the schedule,

617
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: Vegas did nothing to upgrade their offensive line. That's two

618
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: games right there. That's the one reason why people were

619
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: so surprised at the brock Bauers pick. They're like, you know,

620
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: you're you're really going to go into the season with

621
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, And they tried to supplement that with Jackson

622
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Powers Johnson in the second round. But I think a

623
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: lot of people figured with this tackle class, you want

624
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: to bookend a right tackle with Colton Miller who's getting

625
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: up there, that that made more sense. So what I'm

626
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 1: saying New England has one of the worst offensive lines

627
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: in the league. Denver Mike McGlinchey was a disaster last year.

628
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: They got to get that right. And I think Garrett Bowles,

629
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: after having his career season perfect timing, Garrett going into

630
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: his contract year, certainly regrets. This is someone that led

631
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: the league in holding penalties and he regressed last year.

632
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: So now I you got two against them Kansas City.

633
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: We know Juwan Taylor was almost benched, you know, and

634
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: he was a mess. They got Wanya Morris on the

635
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: other side, so that's two games right there. Now. Patrick

636
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes does not take a lot of sacks, so you

637
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: combine those two things. But as I go through it,

638
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, Tampa Bay had to reset their offensive line.

639
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: They still have wurfs, but pretty much they're resetting everything else.

640
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta's got a solid OD line. Baltimore lost two starters

641
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: or three starters, I think, off their offensive line. Tennessee,

642
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: we know drafted Latham and they're trying to rebuild that

643
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: O line there. Cleveland's got one of the best in

644
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: the league. That's a tough one. New Orleans always has

645
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: really good O line play, but we don't know how that.

646
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: You know, we know Derek Carr likes to take sacks

647
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to get hit, so he'll just

648
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: take a dive. Can't help myself. So what I'm getting

649
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: to Carolina we know had the worst line in football

650
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 1: last year. All right, if I put the over I'm

651
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: getting at it. If I put the over.

652
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: Under a forty forty sacks between these four guys, would

653
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: you take the over?

654
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: I would not. I would not say four guys are

655
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: going to average double digit sacks. That's a very very

656
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: large number.

657
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, I'm saying, like bud gets seven, that's a.

658
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: Big you know what I mean, Like, that's a big number.

659
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: That's a big number. I you know, if you can

660
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: get the top four, if you can get the top

661
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: four to average between them, let's say eight sacks. So

662
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: let's put it in like a nice thirty two. That's

663
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: a pretty that feels like a pretty good number. And

664
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: if you can exceed that, man, you are you are

665
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: cooking with gas. I think you're I'm gonna put that

666
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: out there because you know, you're talking about reps as well. Right,

667
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: if you want these guys to stay fresh, bet you

668
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: hit it on the head. It's all about hurries. It's

669
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: it's just about ruin it, recking the play. You don't

670
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: have to get a sack to wreck the playfl you know,

671
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: the sack recks the drive, you know. But just yeah,

672
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: you're right, hits and hurries and and incompletions and all

673
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff is what's as important as the

674
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: sack number.

675
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: Butdey he also asked, who do you think has the

676
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 2: higher floor right now? The offense to the defense.

677
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Yeah, higher floor. I would just

678
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: say offense because of justin Herbert and and so that

679
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: to me is the higher floor. Yeah, I feel like

680
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 1: anytime you have a quarterback, an elite quarterback guiding your

681
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: your offense and a quarterback lead, you're always going to

682
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: have a high floor. So that that to me, not

683
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: to mention you've invested in the offensive line, you have

684
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: two of the top tap You might have the top

685
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: tackle group in the league. If Ault is everything that

686
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: he's been built up to beat. So when you have

687
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: those two things, you really you have a high floor.

688
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: From our guy, Bolt Moose, could y'all perhaps provide insight

689
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: on the changes in coaching staff size and what is

690
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: the expectation this new staff will bring regarding execution. Seems

691
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 2: like we've had a fairly small staff for the last decade,

692
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 2: but I was hoping to hear what the difference is.

693
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: That's a great question, and I think the head coach

694
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: is the reason why maybe the staff's a little bit larger.

695
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: I think just the collection of ideas from a guy

696
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: like Mark Tressman to Greg Rowan to Harball. It seems

697
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: like even in just the micd ups that Harball really

698
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: does value the opinion of his assistance and it really

699
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: is a group effort, and these guys really want to

700
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: coach their tailoff for him. So I don't know the

701
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: size and staff it comes from the hey coach right.

702
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, it's probably less about the size. But

703
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: and I don't mean to to just push back on

704
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: the question, but to me, the more important part of

705
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: it is the amount of money they spent on assistance.

706
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: These assistants are making a lot of money and that

707
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily the case in the past. So the way

708
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: I view it is whatever Coach Harbaugh has asked for

709
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 1: he's been given. When he has said, no, we need

710
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: to pay our strength and conditioning coach million and a

711
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: half bucks a year, we were going to make the

712
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: highest paige strength and conditioning coach in the league, then yeah,

713
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: yeah we are. And that's kind of how it's gone.

714
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: I need to keep Jesse Minner. He's going to have offers. Colleges,

715
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: do not mess around. You're gonna have the Alabamas and

716
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: the Georgia's and the USC's and the Tennessees of the

717
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: world offering to write this guy checks worth a couple

718
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: million bucks a year, and we've got to keep them. Okay,

719
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: here you go, here's your here's your So I think

720
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: that's and the flip side of that, there's it's not

721
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: the flip side of that. But another interesting element of

722
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: that is for Harbaugh, whose son was his special teams coach,

723
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: to recognize coach, can you just can you meet with

724
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: coach Ficken? We think we have someone who's in the conversation,

725
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: is the best special teams coach in the league. We'd

726
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: love for you to meet with him and to walk

727
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: away and say, yeh, he ain't going anywhere. We're we're

728
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: keeping him and his son is now coaching special teams

729
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: up in Seattle. I think speaks to the level of

730
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: investment and how important his his assistants are, how the

731
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: how how important the staff is to coach Harball Well.

732
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: Said from Leah Smith loved the show, Fellas, Which game

733
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 2: are you, gentlemen looking the most forward to bolt up?

734
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: Oh?

735
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 2: Man, I could pick a million games.

736
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: M hm, I will I will go ahead? No, no, no,

737
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: you go you go all right? Maybe a little.

738
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 2: Obscure, and it's just I think it's a it's a combination.

739
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: It's week three and week four, it's it's in Pittsburgh,

740
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: it's Mike Tomlin versus Jim Harball on the road in Pittsburgh.

741
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Pittsburgh's home opener, and you know you got

742
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: Carolina the week before. But this is the real test,

743
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 2: right this is these are two heavyweight coaches, a hostile environment.

744
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 2: You know that that crowd is going to be rocking,

745
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 2: and how will the Chargers on the road respond. I

746
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: think this will be like the first real test of

747
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: the Jim Harball era. And then to follow that up

748
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 2: with a home game against the Kansas City Chiefs Harball

749
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: versus Andy Reid. I think that that two week stretch

750
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 2: is probably the one I'm looking most forward to.

751
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: Now.

752
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: You can easily say the Raiders week one or the

753
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: Harbor Ball. I could pick anything, but I'm just gonna

754
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 2: say weeks three and four and cheat a little bit.

755
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: Leah, there's a lot. It's a fun schedule this year.

756
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: My when when I was about to say the game,

757
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: my initial answer was going to be Pittsburgh and all

758
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that you talked about. It's a road game,

759
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: so one of the most hostile environments. It's a team

760
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: that likes to play physical football and has a really,

761
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: really good defensive front, and it's going to be that

762
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: power run game against that, the strength of the Steelers,

763
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: that the front seven, and like you said, two coaches

764
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: that like to beat the hell out of their opponents,

765
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 1: and it's gonna you know, the opener is the open

766
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: There's so much emotion, there's so much that goes into

767
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: that that it's just hard to have it sort of

768
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: sit in the rhythm of the season because it's the opener,

769
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: and it's the Raiders and it's the debut of Harbaugh

770
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: and this new offense and this new defense and all

771
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: that that goes into it. So after you get two games,

772
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: you get a home game, you get a road game

773
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: to settle in that Week three is going to tell

774
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: us a lot. I really believe that the one, you know,

775
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: like you said, the one, the one under the I

776
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: don't think it's the under the rate. It's not under

777
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: the radar. But the one that's so I think gonna

778
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:07,959
Speaker 1: be really fun is Week eleven, Cincinnati. Cincinnati. That's that's

779
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: a formidable opponent. But I also think it's a team

780
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: that is in a very similar spot as the Chargers.

781
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: A team that's had some success. Now granted they went

782
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: to a freaking super Bowl, so they've had a much

783
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: much more success than the Chargers. They've been in the

784
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: playoffs seemingly almost every year. But a healthy Burrow versus

785
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: a healthy Herbert is gonna be fun. That's gonna be

786
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: a and it's at home. That'll be a really fun game,

787
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: I think. So that's when I'm I'm definitely looking forward to.

788
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: The Cleveland game is very similar to the Pittsburgh game.

789
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: Incredibly physical offensive line, incredibly physical defensive line. Two coaches

790
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: in Stefanski and Harborough that want to run the ball

791
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: down your throat.

792
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz gon to be Jim Schwartz fixed in there.

793
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz is the defensive coordinator, you know, going back

794
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: to the backslap moment, there's so much there. I'm banks

795
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: of Lake Erie at the beginning of November. Won't be

796
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: too cold, but it'll be football weather. It'll be in

797
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: like the low forties. That'll be a lot of fun.

798
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's a good schedule this year. It really Yeah,

799
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: it really is. And how about New England and the

800
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: Dead Will Winner December twenty ninth at New England, Like

801
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: that's gonna be freaking gnarly too.

802
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that may be a Drake May game too. He

803
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: may be in the It could be you know, you're

804
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: you're two in whatever, three and whatever, and it's Drake

805
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: May time in December.

806
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: No doubt. I would be surprised if it.

807
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: Wasn't time to trust at six one nine Shaggy h

808
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: this is a cool question. Besides lt and Gates, who's

809
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 2: the one past charger that you believe would best fit

810
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: in this roster? And he says, Lorenz O'Neil.

811
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: What do you say, buddy, Oh yeah, I'd love to

812
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 1: have Loni. Be fantastic, No doubt, would love to have Lonil.

813
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean there's a million right just you know, imagine

814
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: Junior Seau as the quarterback of this defense with Jesse

815
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: Minner and what he's able to do. And that's that's

816
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: how I think that's the only answer. Yeah, I mean

817
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: the idea of having Sale out there would be incredible

818
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: in terms of so like there's you know, just to

819
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: like having Eric Weddle is your your free safety with Derwin?

820
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean you want to talk about two dudes that

821
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: can freaking see it, read it, completely wreck it. Like

822
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: that would be a really fun safety tandem. Weddle and

823
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: and Derwin would be fun too. You know, yeah, there's

824
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: you know you.

825
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 2: Already have your quarterback, but you know, imagine Philip and

826
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: Harbaugh together.

827
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: That would be.

828
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be fun.

829
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean Nick Hardwicke at center to quarterback the offensive line.

830
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: You know what he was able to do in the

831
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: run game with LT Like we said, Lorenzo Ill as

832
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: a full back just blowing you guys up. I mean,

833
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: my god, linebackers wouldn't stand a chance against loadinga let alone.

834
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: The way the size of corners and safeties now, I

835
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: mean he would he put people in the freaking gravy,

836
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: hit him so hard they wouldn't know what the hell him. Yeah,

837
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: there's a lot of options there.

838
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: The good questions this week, guys, Hey, this next was

839
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 2: from Greg Kim. Greg, do you just want to jump

840
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: on and ask this?

841
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: We appreciate Greg.

842
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 2: Ha oh, Greg's Craig's you can do it all right,

843
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: Greg's the best? No? Fine?

844
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: Uh?

845
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: From Greg Kim, which Chargers player would have the highest

846
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 2: chance of winning a medal in the summer's Olympics and

847
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 2: what event would it be?

848
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: So that's a good question, Yes, it is, because the

849
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: best chance at winning, Uh, if they don't have anyone

850
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: with just stupid speed Shark is probably their fastest.

851
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 2: Well, how about our guy praise how about our guy

852
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 2: praise Ola take?

853
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that's true. Yeah, just signed. Yeah, that's a

854
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: great one.

855
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: That's it.

856
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, praise Ola Take. Yeah that's a great call. Yeah,

857
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: because he ran did he run the four by? What

858
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: did he what did he run?

859
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: Let's just confirm this.

860
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: I believe that's what it was. I think he was

861
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: a four by I'm pretty sure.

862
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 2: That's Ohio state. Yeah, four by one hundred.

863
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was four by one. Yeah, so yeah, I

864
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: finished fifth. Here we go, So finished fifth in the

865
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: two hundred anchored the four by one. So yeah, he's there.

866
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: That's your guy. It's it's I think he probably wanted

867
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, a starter and who would

868
00:44:54,239 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: you go with. You know, Slater is shot strong when

869
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: it comes to powerlifting. Powerlifting you get the power like power.

870
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: Slater is crazy strong in the weight room. He throws

871
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: a ton of weight around Sam with Zion. So those

872
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: two in those strength categories would be would certainly be interesting.

873
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: I think that's that's where Yeah, that's probably what you're

874
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: looking at. All.

875
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: Right, a couple more we'll get out of here.

876
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: Uh, do they have fishing in the summer? Herbert out there?

877
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: We got a guy, we got a guy Justin could

878
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 2: probably do some Olympic sport very well. Uh, Kurt bac

879
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 2: Atash any thoughts on who RB one will be to

880
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 2: start the year. I remember hearing on your pod that

881
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: Gus has an injury and what do you think what

882
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 2: happened with Spiller? All good questions about the running back.

883
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: Don't know on Spiller. Don't know on Spiller, but I

884
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: you know he's He's a big bath another campt big

885
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: camp battle. Yeah, yeah, I mean you know it's gonna

886
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, Dobbins, Edwards and and videl are gonna make it.

887
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: I would assume they'll carry a fourth because of how

888
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: much they run the ball. Will it be Spiller? Elijah

889
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: Dotson never really had a chance to succeed last year

890
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: because nobody could run the ball on this team last

891
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: year due to the lack of a blocking tight end

892
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: and an offensive line that just did not excel in

893
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: run blocking. So that's going to be a big camp

894
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: battle Dotson versus Spiller for that fourth running back spot. Look,

895
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: if Jk's healthy, JK is an elite back. JK has

896
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: has qualities that a lot of backs in this league

897
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: don't have. He's a full service back. He blocks well

898
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: in pass pro, he catches the ball really well. He

899
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: has got elite burst vision, ability to finish runs. You know,

900
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: Gus is fantastic between the tackles, and he's incredible in

901
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: goal line short yardage. So they're going to be a

902
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: tandem that This is not going to be a three

903
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: hundred carry workhorse back offense. It's going to be a

904
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: lot of rotating, a lot of Gus, a lot of JK.

905
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think if you were to ask the coaches, hey,

906
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: everybody's healthy, how's the what's the carry distribution look like?

907
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: I think JK gets out of the season with the

908
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: most carries by a pretty healthy margin.

909
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. Called Richard asked about the running game,

910
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 2: Marcus asked about the running game, the personnel sets. If

911
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 2: this offense is going to run a lot of twelve

912
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 2: and twenty one personnel sets, in your opinion, how many

913
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: receivers will be the well the charges carry on the

914
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: roster five or six, And that's.

915
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the big question.

916
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 2: We alluded to that last week with some of these

917
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 2: seventh round picks and may be tough for them to

918
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: make the initial fifty three.

919
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to have to They're going to really

920
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: have to flash to make it. Yeah, they're going to

921
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: really have to flash to make it. And I think

922
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: if they don't flash, they'll be fine. You'll be able

923
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: to park them on the practice squad. I don't suspect

924
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: they're going to get claimed if they if they don't

925
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: have a monster preseason, you know, it's it's Palmer, It's

926
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: obviously Palmer, Quinton mcconkeye, Shark, Darius Davis. And then after

927
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: that it becomes a question of do you want to

928
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: carry that sixth? Did somebody raise their hand enough that

929
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: you don't want to expose them on the practice squad?

930
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: But those top five will make it, and then we'll

931
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: see whether or not another you know receiver can can

932
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: make it worth the you know, Joe Jortiz and Jim

933
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: Harball's while to keep him on the roster because they

934
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: can contribute on game dan. A lot of that goes

935
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: into special teams, especially with the new kickoff rules. So

936
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: if one of those receivers really excels on special teams,

937
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: then you can make the case. Hey, let's carry an

938
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: extra receiver as opposed to an extra fill in the blank,

939
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: whatever whatever position group you want to talk about, because

940
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: of special teams, you know, defensive back, running back, full backs,

941
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: sort of thing. You know, doesn't make more sense to

942
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: carry that extra receiver because of how they're going to

943
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: contribute in the third phase.

944
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,439
Speaker 2: Well, and with Dilly all recent talk has been about

945
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: the rookies, QJ DJ Hark. What have you seen so

946
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: far from Joshua Palmer and what do you expect his

947
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: role will be in this offense. I mean, we've seen

948
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 2: Joshua Palmer, you know, throughout the last few years. Do

949
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 2: you do you see Joshua as a guy who will

950
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: take another leap?

951
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, just because he has, you know, because he's going

952
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: to get the targets. He's gonna he's gonna be the

953
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: number one targeted receiver this season if he's healthy. So

954
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: I would assume he takes a leaven he can, you know,

955
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: josh josh Palmer can can put together a you know,

956
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: seventy catch eighty catch season, twelve hundred yard season, seven

957
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: eight touchdown season, and I will not be surprised. I

958
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: will not be the least bit surprised if he puts

959
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: something like that together. He's a great receiver. He is

960
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: a really, really, really good receiver, So that would not

961
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: surprise me at all. Not what has he shown so far?

962
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: Not much because there's not much to show, you know,

963
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: he's there's not much the show right now.

964
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's the thing. Some of these questions,

965
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 2: how does Brendan Rice or Cornelius Johnson. Look, Well, you

966
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: guys will get to see when we see in training

967
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 2: camp what these guys are all about. When the pats

968
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,839

00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 2: you're always a little nervous once middy camp is over

970
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 2: and you got to figure out you know, we could

971
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: have done quarterback tiers this week, but the fans helped

972
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 2: us out money.

973
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: You notice how I yawned there when you said quarterback

Speaker 1: tears or we can do over unders Vegas over unders.

975
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: You want over or underwin totals. That's the other one

976
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 1: that's going right now. Well, look, you know what, why.
