1
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Chris Harry with you on a new episode

2
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: of Chargers Weekly. Coming up, Rookie linebacker Drew trank Will

3
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: joins me. It's been a life changing thirty days for

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: tranquill from getting drafted to moving cross country to becoming

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: a father last Friday. You're gonna be blown away by

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: this twenty three year olds maturity. But first, NFL media

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: is Mark Sessler checks in. We're gonna discuss his NFL

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: All Under twenty five team, which includes three Chargers defenders.

9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: All right, my first guest. He's one quarter of the

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast, a fantastic writer for NFL dot Com,

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and we're gonna discuss his latest piece, the NFL's All

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Under twenty five team. Mark Sessler joins me here on

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Chargers Weekly. Mark, it's been a while, man, how are you?

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: You know? It's always good to talk with you. You

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: are one of the old co workers of mine from

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: NFL Network, and I'll never forget working on a show

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: called Pick Him with You where our podcast crew Weekly

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: had to come up with essentially our locks of the

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: week games. We knew that we would be correct on

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: and my percentage was so unbelievably low. I can't believe

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: you're actually having me on a show to discuss football

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: on any level, because I remember swinging and missing on

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: so many of those picks. So very gracious of the things.

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: You're you're here to redeem yourself. We had some wild

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: places where we made these picks, right, you were guys,

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 1: you're playing cornhole, doing it at bars, whatever it takes.

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: It was well, you know it was. You had to

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: pump out like a twenty minute segment weekly in the

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: NFL season, you know, short by comparison to the NBA

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: and baseball, when you've got to knockout eighteen to twenty

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: of these lengthy pick segments. We were we were just

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: scrounging around for places to do it. So we hit

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: up dive bars, restaurants. I remember at one point being

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: on the top of a cliff for looking later that

35
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: one specifically that was amazing. Is that a Tamposy production?

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Is that a Erica Tamposy production? Oh? Yeah, no, she

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: um she had her hands in most of those, and

38
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think she probably saved most of the

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: segments from as I said, the picks we were making,

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: which we're going sideways too often, Well, Hey, we are

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: like in the middle of the off season, but this

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: was probably a fun exercise for you, this all under

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: twenty five team. How did it all come to be? Mark, Well,

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: you know what they've done it before and in the past,

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: it's been looking at our site sort of a slide

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: show where it's it's it's just a little bit of

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: analysis with a photo and you cycle through twenty five

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: people or so. It was thrown my way and I

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: was happy to the time of year where sit back

50
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: and learn a little bit when you in and do research.

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: My Twitter mentions are you know, they're mostly evil because

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: anyone who wasn't picked that fan base is going absolutely

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: now and so you kind of just you kind of

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: dial down the any sort of plugged into technology aspect

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: of your life, turn off Twitter, and in two or

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: three days it'll it'll become bright and sunny again. But

57
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: people generally are not happy with any of these things

58
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: unless it's their team, their player, and that's really in

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: a skull sample size because there's there are so many

60
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: at each of these skill positions too. It was really

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: tough to pick an offense between a couple of people,

62
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: and I get why people would be annoyed. But there's

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: only you know, we had to fill out an actual

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: starting roster, so you can't name seven or eight wide receivers.

65
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: You can name one or teach name two, and so

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: that leaves it leaves a lot of people highly annoyed. Well,

67
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: you know what, it's like a mock draft market. It's

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: like no one's ever happy. They read them, they consume them,

69
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: and at the end they complain about them. I thought

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: you did a great job. And the Chargers they led

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: the league. I think along with the Colts. With three

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: guys on your list, they're all on defense. And I

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: want to start with Joey Bosa because when he's on

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: the field, when he's across from Melvin Ingram, he's a force.

75
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: And he said he's as fast and as strong as

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: he's ever been entering year four. This probably wasn't too

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: difficult of a decision for you, pretty much one of

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: the easier decisions, because you know, the other options I

79
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: had there. Who I picked was Miles Garrett, who I viewed. Also,

80
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: as you know, you find out that Miles Garrett tells

81
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: you he was only allowed to use two moves under

82
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: the guidance like Williams well, you can only imagine more

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: from him. With Bosa, I feel like if you were

84
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: rounding out and shaping a team, you'd be a little

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: concerned about some of the durabilities to tappen at that set.

86
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: How would you This is a defensive Player of the

87
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Year player who is only now entering his prime. It

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: was a very easy pick, and I think it would

89
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: have been, you know, a fireable offense to leave him

90
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: off the list. Well, the thing is too Mark, what

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: they did the drafts. They get a guy like Jerry

92
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: Tillery who can generate pass rush along the interior of

93
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: the defensive line, and then you have Melvin Ingram, you

94
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: get you Chenna Noosu. So the more pass rushers that

95
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: these guys develop Isaac Rochelle who filled in, he's just

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: gonna make Joey that much more dangerous. He's probably still

97
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: going to see double teams. But as a whole, this

98
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Charger's pass rush looks to be at full strength here

99
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: in the off season. Yeah, and it's again you know

100
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned that the Cults, also alongside Los Angeles, topped

101
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: the list, and I look at these two front offices

102
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: and I think Chris Ballard in Indianapolis has quickly become

103
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: one of the top talent evaluators. You know, Tom Telesco

104
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: isn't someone that goes out there and drops mega ton

105
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: quotes where he's sort of a Jerry Jones center of

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: attention guy, quite the opposite. But you look at his

107
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: drafts and how quickly he's turned the defense around. I

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: feel like the areas that were you know, we talked

109
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: about this before the call a little bit, that areas

110
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: that strong are now filled with depth. And the Hillery pick,

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: to me, you can say it was a pick of need.

112
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: I love the pick, and I think also they have

113
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: made a focus of looking for people that fit into

114
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: a locker room that's filled with a ton of youth.

115
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: And I think Hillery, of all the players that I

116
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: listened to after the picks, I thought, this guy's personality.

117
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: He's an immediately engaging personality and covering football and covering

118
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: individuals in general, you love that. And so I think

119
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: they found someone who fits right into the system. And

120
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: it's a huge arrow up for Bosa with the Tailory pick.

121
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Just to put a bow on this Tom Telesco conversation,

122
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: not counting this year because we know all seven draft

123
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: picks are on the roster the previous two years, all

124
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 1: fourteen picks are still on the roster. Thirteen have played

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: in a game. The only one that hasn't is Dylan

126
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Can't Trell and he was hurt last year and there

127
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: was a log jam, but wide receiver. But this is

128
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: a guy who could see board playing time in twenty nineteen.

129
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: So all these young guys, they've they've hit on all

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: of them. And the other one will go to is

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: Darwin James. This was a plug in play. It's probably

132
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: one of the easier decisions that you probably had to

133
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: make at safety. Yeah, it's another situation where along with

134
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: like Bosa and Miles Garrett, you had Jamal Adams of

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: the Jets and Derwin James, who absolutely deserved his Defensive

136
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: Player of the Year on or like he I just

137
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: think that he was a fascinating, versatile player that they

138
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: can use all over the field. I'll that Baltimore Ravens

139
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: playoff win where they knocked Baltimore right out of the

140
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: out of the contention. I thought the way that they

141
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: lined him up at the line of scrimmage, the way

142
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: they use the entire defense to neutralize Lamar Jackson and

143
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: really what he gives Gus Bradley. I feel like they

144
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: could completely change the way that he operates with secondary.

145
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, Gus Bradley, of course came from the Seahawks

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: system and he knows about good safety play. And Derwin James.

147
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: It's like, you know you can, you can make these

148
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: logical draft picks and it's been you know, you hope

149
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: they turn out. But when you have two players like

150
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: BOTHA and Derwin James that a peaked the way they have,

151
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: you're going to completely change what you can do on defense.

152
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: And this was an absolute no brainer. You're right. He's

153
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: a fascinating player, one of the more fun guys to watch,

154
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: and you know, these safeties, when you hit on them,

155
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: you've got them for a decade. And he just seems

156
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: like one of those guys. Where are you talking about

157
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: him as a team leader at twenty three years old?

158
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: And when you bring in a guy like nazi're Adelie

159
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: in the second round, a free safety, you have jay

160
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Len Watkins come back, You're gonna be able to see

161
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: Derwin more doing Derwin things at the line of scrimmage,

162
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: moving him around as opposed to last year where I

163
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: think he had to play back a little bit more,

164
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: so that changes and hopefully, you know, with Adderlie and

165
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: jay Len Watkins and ray Shawn Jenkins back there, uh,

166
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: derw was going to be able to move around to

167
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: field even more this year. Yeah. It's again, it's like

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: you find these defensive players. I mean, you build around

169
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Vosa by Addie Hillary, you you get Adderleie to hell

170
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: Lou as you said, you know Derwin James to do

171
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: what he does, and when you find out that you

172
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: can have these centerpieces for the next five, six, seven years,

173
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: assuming they're all going to be extended, it's just it's

174
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: it's it. You know, building up is a time consuming process,

175
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: it's on page. But when you start hitting on them

176
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: the way that Telesco has over and over with star players,

177
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you find yourself suddenly where they are.

178
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I think talent wise, top two or three teams in

179
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: the AFC, if not the NFL. Unquestionably, Mark the third

180
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: player is one of my favorites, Desmond King, and he's

181
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: always had a nose for the football right A Thorpe

182
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: Award winner at Iowa, He's made a lot of plays

183
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: on defense. I go back to that pick six in

184
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: Seattle on the fourth quarter. He actually had two interceptions

185
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: against Cleveland last year, but what he did on special

186
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: teams just flipping field position, that the seventy three yard

187
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: punt return against the Steelers in prime time. He had

188
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: a big return in the playoffs. This is a player

189
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: who the Chargers discovered as really a secret weapon in

190
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: the third phase of the game, and it just it

191
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: makes the offense and the defense that much more dangerous.

192
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: It's I mean, the fact that he can do so

193
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: many different things well, and it helped with the whole

194
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: concept of Travis Benjamin. Not I think we've they've upgrade

195
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: on Travis Benjamin in that aspect. They use him as

196
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: return guy. And you know, when I was doing my list,

197
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: I thought, well, I'm only allowed to pick two cornerbacks,

198
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: which feels a little light in today's NFL. So I'm

199
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: able to plug him in as a slot guy too.

200
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: So it was a good pick for that list. And

201
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: he's just he's electrics. He's excited. I know in our office,

202
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're sitting there on and watching to lize

203
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: his game on television, and you got one or two

204
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: people tracking this game. And Chris Wells Chris Wesley, my

205
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: co worker there. He he got into the Chargers big

206
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: time and he loved Desn and King and I couldn't

207
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: agree more. Just every time you see him, he's doing

208
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: something in field position matters so much. And he suddenly

209
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: found this guy that absolutely electrified his special team. So

210
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: I had no problem put him on this list. And

211
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: I think three Cohen was probably the guy last year

212
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: they got picked, but he wasn't as complete of a

213
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: kick return. I think he had three kick return year round.

214
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: So you know, to me, King was just another another

215
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: guy that they find. And it's like you look up

216
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: and down this Chargers roster and there really isn't an

217
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: area that's a raging weak spot. And you know, most

218
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: most of these teams in the league have one or

219
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: two Achilles heel scenarios that could completely neutralize him. I

220
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: think with with with the Chargers, it comes down to

221
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: staying healthy because they've had a couple of key guys.

222
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: You know when you and that's the patrician in the NFL,

223
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: and that's all for debates. That's about the lock to

224
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: some degree, and if boats that can stay healthy, if

225
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Gordon can stay healthy on offense like this team they're

226
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna get. They should go right back to the place

227
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: they were last year, and then it comes down to

228
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: knocking out a team like the Patriots knocking out you know,

229
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: if you have to go on the road taking care

230
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: of your own business. Yeah, Mark, I was talking to

231
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: somebody at our facility this week about the offensive side

232
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: of the ball and which guys would be eligible. And

233
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: obviously Melvin Gordon twenty six, Keenan Allen's older. I think

234
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers just missed the cut, right, fill up something? Yeah,

235
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I had I done this exercise in

236
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: like two thousand and three or two thousand and four

237
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: or so, he would have been a lock for this.

238
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: But that's fifteen years ago at this point. The two

239
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: guys that did come to I know, Mike Williams was

240
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: probably a difficult decision for you because you know, he

241
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: had eleven total touchdowns last year. He think he's gonna

242
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: be twenty four when the season starts. Three touchdowns against

243
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs late in the year. I understand Juju Smith,

244
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: Schuster and DJ More, no doubt, but but Mike was

245
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: probably in the consideration. Definitely in the consideration. I mean,

246
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting killed for Calvin Ridley more so than than

247
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: Mike Williams at this point in terms of what you

248
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: know hearing from irate individuals. But I get it. You

249
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: can only take two guys, and I think with each

250
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: with each of these positions the honorable mentions. In my

251
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: mind looking at the list, it's just like it was.

252
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: It was a tough exercise. And with Mike Williams, it's

253
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: like if his career had started just a little bit differently,

254
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: maybe he would be in that conversation, would have been

255
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: one of those two guys. But he's right there. And

256
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: it's also like that these lists in the middle of May,

257
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: where that everything is sort of stationary and nothing's changing

258
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: on a week to week basis. It's really just sort

259
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: of what they've done up to now, and so much

260
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: vastly can change because even you know, picking Patrick Mahomes,

261
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: obviously it's going to be Patrick Mahomes after what he

262
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: did last season, But who's to say a year from

263
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: now that it couldn't be Sam Darnold or it couldn't

264
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: be Baker Mayfield. Certainly as something as you know, variable

265
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver position, could you look vastly different

266
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: a year or two from now, Mark, let's see it

267
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: back to the fact that people are crushing you about

268
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: a list over Memorial Day weekend, an NFL twenty five

269
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: and underlist on Memorial Day weekend. This is peak NFL

270
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: right now. It is, and I think it shows like

271
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: in a great way. I mean, how passionate people are

272
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: about the sport, because you know, I think fifteen twenty

273
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: years ago, if you're covering the NFL, this is the

274
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: time of the year where they throw you on basketball

275
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: or women's softball or who knows what. So the fact

276
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: that you're that this content even gets still really read

277
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: and so passionately debated, it's it shows you that the

278
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: NFL is absolutely on fire right now. You could make

279
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: a case for so much any of these young players

280
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: that you know you've got to just sit back and

281
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: accept some of the people's arguments. It's like, I'm not

282
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: why of the rulers don't you know, fire back and

283
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: start getting it into it with people, because that goes

284
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 1: literally nowhere but total darkness. So I just sort of

285
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: just say, have a nice day, Yeah, you want to

286
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: enjoy your summer. Now that the AFC west the dust

287
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: to settle a little bit, and the draft has passed.

288
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: We see what the Chiefs are right now entering mini camp,

289
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: we see what the Raiders are, the Broncos are. How

290
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: would you assess the division very early based on the

291
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: moves that we're made in free agency and the draft. Well,

292
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: I think it's a much more competitive division because you know,

293
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos has some overts the past couple of years.

294
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: I think it started right there on the offensive line

295
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: in a shaky quarterback situation. I'm not certain Joe Flap

296
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: is gonna last the season there in terms of being

297
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: the starter. I think they're going to want to see

298
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: what they have and Drew Locke and you know, before

299
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: next year's last which might reopen the discussion of adding

300
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: another signal caller in Denver. Oakland is certainly a spicier

301
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: team than a year ago. And to me, they are

302
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: a bizarre X factor types are they going to be?

303
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: Are they going to come out and knock out some

304
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: of the better clubs? I don't know, But if they

305
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: suddenly you have a brown You've got a lot of

306
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: talent and they've added so many pieces that if they

307
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: if they sort of gel, you could they could be

308
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: a bit interest down the stretch. So I don't think

309
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: you can just look at Denver and Oakland say we're

310
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: going to pile up up three to four wins of

311
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: those two. It's going to be the typical AFCUS battle.

312
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: But I look at at the Chargers and say, there's

313
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: no reason on paper to say they could not right

314
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: now be the team to beat in the division. Because

315
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: I think I re killed situation in Kansas City because

316
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: when you look at a team that peaks offensively the

317
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: way they did last year, but you have to just

318
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: looking at teams to do that, expect Kansas City to

319
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: come back to the meet a little bit. In terms

320
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: of Mahomes. Is he going to throw another fifty touchdowns?

321
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I think things are gonna You can't. You just can't

322
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: count on offense year to year or to achieve. And

323
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs have done a lot to address

324
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: some of their defensive issues, but that defense is not

325
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: right now, something on paper is their strength. It's quite

326
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: it's quite more of a wait and see situation. And

327
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: so to me, it's it's the Chargers. And I'm not

328
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: just saying that because you know a Chargers. They show

329
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: they to me were the best team down the stretch

330
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: in that division last year, and I think it's it's

331
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: situation where you know it's gonna be a health situation.

332
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: You cannot lose your quarterbacks, you cannot lose key pieces

333
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: on defense. You cannot have Joey Bosa go out and play,

334
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, half the season. You've got to get full

335
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: sixteen game from your dudes. And if if they can

336
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: do that, the Chargers not. It's not just the Web.

337
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't see really the reason they couldn't be in

338
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship and potentially playing that at home, just

339
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: to see how it shakes out. I want to get

340
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: you out here on this because you are a big

341
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: time Browns fan, and the hype train is so real

342
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: right now. The Chargers don't play the Browns in the

343
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: regular season this year, but what's been your reaction to

344
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: everything that's happened, from Odell Beckham to Freddie Kitchens to

345
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: just being on prime time and the expectations that come

346
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: with it. It's very surreal, and I don't know how

347
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: all the Browns fans feel, but I think if you're

348
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: my age from forty five, that it's been so long

349
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: that they since I've been you know, a respectably viable

350
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: franchise in the AFC. One that wasn't. It wasn't, and

351
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: they're not. They weren't sort of just Miami. Yeah, they're

352
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: not a factor, but they're not enraging embarrassment. I mean

353
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: they went to the peak peak world of embarrassment. You

354
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: cannot do more than what a team to hit over

355
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: the previous seasons before last year to really really become

356
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: something in sports that only happens once thirty years, where

357
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: you bottom out the way that they did. So now suddenly,

358
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: because it's been a rather quick turnaround to look at

359
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: the roster and to find out that they're you know,

360
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: on national television over and over and the central boxing

361
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: point of the off season, it's not really clicked into

362
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: me as reality as if this is the fan in me.

363
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I would need to go see

364
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: them go out and be competitive and have the pieces

365
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: played together because people might forget that they went ten

366
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: and six and Joe Thomas's first season back two thousand

367
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: and seven, the league turned around and said, you know what,

368
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: they have Brady Quinn on the bench. He might become

369
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: the starter if Derek Anderson takes a seat at some

370
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: point there's a lot to like. They gave the Browns

371
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: a five national games and primetime games, and I thought,

372
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: this is great, We're rolling because back then I was

373
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: a little bit less, you know, bitten reality that things

374
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: typically don't work out. They went out on national TV,

375
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: and over the course of the end of that season,

376
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: they came close to setting a record for consecutive quarters

377
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: without a touchdown. I think they went twenty four plus

378
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: quarters or so without a touchdown. It was a It

379
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: was as big of a nightmare as one could describe

380
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: in the mind. And so my thing is, just don't

381
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: do that again. Pick up the pieces from where you

382
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: were the Chargers last year. I thought Los Angeles put

383
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: them right back in their place. That was a dominant

384
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: effort by the Chargers. They have to go and show

385
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: that they can hang with these teams that they're now

386
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: suddenly being hoisted. But they're just you know, you can't

387
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: just take a team and say they're there. I love

388
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: the coach, I love the idea of him. Like me

389
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: a couple of times, I just think he's the real art.

390
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: He's the genuine article. There's a lot of talent you've

391
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: got that that's fine, But I still need to see

392
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: them get past Hitsburg Baltimore in their own division because

393
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: they have never done that in the past twenty years.

394
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: So I'm rambling because it's just a lot of internal

395
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: stuff to figure out. But at the same time, reality

396
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: can be pretty rough in the NFL, So we'll see

397
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: where we are in a couple months. It's just one

398
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: example of all the expectations that NFL fans have twenty nineteen.

399
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: Just there's so many storylines, and the Browns are certainly

400
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: at the top of the heap there. Mark Sessler, I

401
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing you outside of a football setting,

402
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: but hopefully we get you to a Chargers game early

403
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: this year and you can enjoy seeing the Bolts live

404
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: in person. Not a tough sell. I did a story

405
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: on Stubhuff years ago and it went to one of

406
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: their games, and I thought it was the most unique

407
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: and enjoyable experience. Just I kind of walked her him

408
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: into sixty seven different in spots. So this is a

409
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: totally different type of NFL scenario. And so I would

410
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: love to go eating Uber Rider from my house, so

411
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, won't be hard to do. I'll be there,

412
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: all right. Well, we'll make it happen, Man, Mark Sessler,

413
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: I can't thank you for your time, buddy. I'll see

414
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: you soon. Thanks. All right, Bolts fans. Before we get

Speaker 1: Talking to one of the final rookies here on the podcast,

425
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: linebacker Drew Tranquil joins me and Drew first and foremost,

426
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: congratulations on a new baby, boy, man, how are you?

427
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: Thank you? We're doing really well man. Then baby's here healthy,

428
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: born four am, four eleven last Friday morning, so going

429
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: on six days old here, and he's doing well. He's

430
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: got his first pediatrician appointment today. But we're just we're

431
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: so glad to welcome him into the world. Can you

432
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: describe what the last four or five weeks have been like,

433
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, you go from drafted, to move to a

434
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: new city to become a new dad, all in the

435
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: span like four weeks. It's crazy because there's like a

436
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: two or three month window kind of you have the

437
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: combine and then you're waiting again. But it's kind of

438
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: like a dull time of just you train and do

439
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: the same thing every day. And my wife and I

440
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: would laugh at home because we were like, we knew

441
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: what was coming, and so bang we get drafted. Oh no,

442
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: we're moving across the country. She's thirty eight weeks pregnant.

443
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: We don't have a place, so we just pack up

444
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: our entire apartment, hire a couple of our buddies back

445
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: home to drive a year haul across the country. And

446
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: you knew it was coming, right, It was just a

447
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: matter of time. It's like, once we find out where

448
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna be, that's when all the chaos happens. We knew,

449
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: we knew it was coming. So the two men in

450
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: the truck got the U haul out here. We flew

451
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: out here, found a place, got moved in a rookie minicamp,

452
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: and then we start OTAs and then I get the

453
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: call on Thursday, We're going to the hospital and how

454
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: the baby's here. I'm a dad and it's just a

455
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: lot happening at once, but it's it's my Jordan year,

456
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: So I guess he got to do a big right

457
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: twenty three the Jordan, you gotta do it big and

458
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: right now you're right in the middle of OTAs. What's

459
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: that has been like from just getting into the building,

460
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: rookie mini camp and then gradually getting into the mix

461
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: with the Vets, it's got to feel even more comfortable

462
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: now than it did at the beginning. Well, I'll say

463
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: it's the most fun job I've ever I've ever had

464
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: in my life. I just get to come to work

465
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: and play ball, learn about football, and go outside and

466
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: play football like I never imagined, like a work day,

467
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: Like I get to walk between the lines and put

468
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: the pads on and run around and play ball. And

469
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: so I'm just really grateful to be out here. And

470
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: we've got so many great linebackers here, you know, DP

471
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: and TD and just so many guys to learn from.

472
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: And uh, it's been great. I've just been trying to

473
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: be a sponge and we got coach Smith who's been

474
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: in the business for forty years and just knows this stuff, man,

475
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: And so I'm just trying to eat it up. Nobody

476
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: better right to coach the linebackers. And then to have

477
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: a guy like Thomas Davis and Denzel Perryman and even

478
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: guys like you Channa Nuosu who were in your spot

479
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: a year ago, you could probably pull things from him.

480
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: And then, you know, we talked about Thomas Davis. This

481
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: is the only defensive player from the OH five draft

482
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: that's still in the league. So talk about taking care

483
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: of your body at probably one of the most punishing

484
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: positions on the field. That's the guy to talk to

485
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: him when does it at a high level, and you

486
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: can see it in the way he goes about his work.

487
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: He's a pro and everything he does. You know, he's

488
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: taking care of his body here at six am in

489
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: the morning, all the way leading up to practice, and

490
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: that sets the standard, right, sets a standard, man. And

491
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: the way, you know, you kind of laugh a little bit.

492
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: You think this guy's gonna come out here just be

493
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: an old guy like moving around. Oh man can move, man,

494
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: he can move. He's still got it. And so he's

495
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: been a pleasure to have in the locker room for sure.

496
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: I talked to Amka on the podcast a few weeks

497
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: ago and he recalled, you guys weren't drills And I

498
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: think when you drop a ball and the drills it's

499
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: ten pushups and I think Amika forgot to do it

500
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: and it. Thomas went up to him and say, hey, man,

501
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: did you get your ten? He's like, oh, forgot, gotta

502
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: get my ten. And so it's just little things like

503
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: that that you probably pick up on. It's like, hey,

504
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: this is how we do things around here, and this

505
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: is how it's gonna be. I mean, it's the accountability.

506
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: You want a leader, and you know, certainly you want

507
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: a guy, an alpha guy like that, especially in a

508
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: linebacker group, a guy who calling the defense to be on.

509
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: Guys like that, and we got that in TV. All right,

510
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you something that your defensive coordinator from

511
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Clerk Lee said about you on the podcast

512
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: last month. And he went on and on. I say,

513
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: tell me about Drew trank Will. He's like, hey, you

514
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: got an hour? How much time you got? He said,

515
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: Drew trank Will is just wired differently. He's just different

516
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: than any player I've ever coached. He's a machine when

517
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: it comes to his work ethic, a machine when it

518
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: comes to how he approaches his craft, both in terms

519
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: of how he treats his body and his work output.

520
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: I fully expect Drew to thrive. He's going to contribute.

521
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: He's going to add to the fabric of the team.

522
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: He's got the skill set to play, He's got the

523
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: skill set to be an NFL starter, and he won't stop.

524
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: He won't relent until he's accomplished that. Yeah, I mean, obviously,

525
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, coach, he has been one of the my

526
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: favorite coaches I've had in my life. He's taught me

527
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: so much and so to hear hear those words that

528
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: means a lot one too. You just you talk about

529
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: the work ethic, I think you know now being a father,

530
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's something I hope to pass to my son,

531
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: because honestly, I got my work ethic from my dad.

532
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: And you know, he's a guy who married my mom

533
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: his junior year of college, had me their senior year

534
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: as well as I'm the oldest of five, but they

535
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: had three of us while he was in college. Wow,

536
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: it took him eight years to finish his degree because

537
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: he didn't come from a family with a lot of

538
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: money and had to pay his way through school and

539
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: work three jobs. Was ahead of the cafeteria. And you

540
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: can imagine doing engineering with three jobs and raising a family,

541
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: and so to have a dad who did it with

542
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: so much integrity and so much character, and you know,

543
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: he just does business right and it goes about his

544
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: work right and just let our family so well. I mean,

545
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: I just it's all I can do to just give

546
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: my best every day, you know, and try to pass

547
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: that torch. So I guess that's a little bit of

548
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: the work ethic and why I guess what drives me.

549
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: And it's more than me, you know. Yeah, well you

550
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: said it's your Jordan year. And in twenty three, I

551
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: think a lot of people that may be listening to

552
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: this podcast that they're a little bit older, will look

553
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: back to twenty three and be like, listen, I wasn't

554
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: as buttoned up as mature as your tranquil is man.

555
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: That responsibility, it seems like it's instilled from your family,

556
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: but also probably the program at Notre Dame too, how

557
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: they approach business and how they want you to leave

558
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: the university as good a person as you are a player. Yeah,

559
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: I mean, in my opinion, and I'm biased. You know,

560
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is the best university in the country. But

561
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: I think even if you're not a Notre Dame fan,

562
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: you can't you can't talk bad about Notre Dame. I

563
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: mean just the way they prepare not only their student athletes,

564
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: but their students. And you know, I was able to

565
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: travel abroad in Israel to do mechanical engineering, to have

566
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: all of these internship opportunities while playing ball and getting

567
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: a degree of that caliber. And so there's just so

568
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: many people that alumni just pouring into that institution and

569
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, programs being developed and people that that care,

570
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: and it certainly shows and how their students do after

571
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: post Notre Name. We'll tell you, Drew, the charges must

572
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: like what they see in South Bend because Isaac Rachel

573
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: is here, Jerry Tillery's here, your guy Tyler's here. The

574
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: punner that has to make the transition that much easier

575
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: for you to know you have some familiar faces in

576
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: the locker room. Well, Isaac must have some clout with

577
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: coach Flinner. We got we got three of us coming

578
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: out here this year. But you know, funny story. Dry.

579
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: I talked to Isaac in February, and you know, we

580
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: always look at these box drafts during that period between

581
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: the combine and the draft, and Jerry kept getting mocked

582
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: to the Chargers. But it's all entertainment, it's not there's

583
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: really no substance behind it. You know, it's just people guessing.

584
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: And Isaac was like, yeah, I talked to Jerry yesterday

585
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: about the process that I'm buying and stuff, and it's

586
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: just it's just funny how you fast forward. Not only

587
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: is Jerry here, but you're here, you play with Isaac,

588
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: and you got another guy in Tyler. Yeah, It's it's

589
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: crazy because Jerry gets drafted there, I'm I'm just thinking

590
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: great for him. I'm not like I didn't really have

591
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: too much engagement with the Chargers, to be quite honest.

592
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: You know, I met with their linebacker coach and talked

593
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: with him, but I was like, I didn't think I

594
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: was going to tell I hear that a lot during

595
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: the draft process, though. It's like I think Brandon Meban

596
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: said that when he was drafted he didn't have any

597
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: contact with the Seahawks or very little contact. You hear

598
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: you hear about that, and it's it's probably just the

599
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: team saying, listen, if we don't talk to the guy,

600
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: maybe we'll sneak out and snag him. And that's what

601
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers did. It's a game of poker, man, that

602
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: really is. I don't want to show their hands. With

603
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: everything you had going on, you knowing you're gonna move

604
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: to a new city, you're gonna be a new dad.

605
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: To have that uncertainty of what NFL city you were

606
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: going to go to and not really having a clue,

607
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: how did that affect things at home? Well? I mean

608
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: it's funny because you got a wife who's thirty six

609
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: or thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven, thirty eight weeks pregnant.

610
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: She's like, baby, where are we gonna be? Yeah? Two,

611
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: what's the plan? What's the plan? I'm like, I'm like, man,

612
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just trusting the Lord and it's

613
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna work out fine. And I knew I just had

614
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: to weather the storm and then when that moment came,

615
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: I had to get to work and get on it.

616
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: So she's awesome. She handled it. Well. It's Eli, right, Yeah,

617
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: Eli and Jackie? How are they doing? They're doing well. Man,

618
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: they got their pediatrician follow up today, his six day

619
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: follow up, and so he's been doing really well. Man.

620
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: He eats a lot, he sleeps a lot, he poops

621
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: a lot, he does it all. So but he's he's awesome, man.

622
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: He really he looks like her. It looks exactly like her.

623
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: So it's sweet. That's so cool, man, It's it's so

624
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: great that you guys are going through this amazing experience.

625
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: And on the field offensively, you look at Philip Rivers

626
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: across the way. On the defense, you know, you probably

627
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: grew up by Philip Rivers and some of the weapons

628
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: that this offense has. What's it been like you OTA's

629
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: just going against this first team? Oh? In practice? Yeah,

630
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: I laughed the other day. I was like, man, I'm

631
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: walking out here, this is my first OTA and I'm

632
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: looking across the field and I'm like, it's Philip und seventeen.

633
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's gracious, but it's so awesome. I Mean,

634
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: the dude just gets up to the line of scrammers

635
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: and calls out the defense and just says what everybody's doing.

636
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: And we're like, come on, man, like I don't do that.

637
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: It's crazy. But just how much football knowledge and experience

638
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: this guys have. It's super cool, super cool this Chargers team.

639
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, they they've gone nine to seven and coach

640
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: Lyn's first year win a playoff game last year. Do

641
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: you since the veterans kind of holding everybody accountable here

642
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: knowing that, hey, we got business to take care of

643
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen and you guys are coming along for

644
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: the ride and we expect you to contribute. Well, I mean,

645
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't have too much to compare to, but I

646
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: do know this. I know we have ninety nine percent

647
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: of our guys here in voluntary OTAs, and it's a

648
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: big deal from what I can understand. You don't really

649
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: see that across the league. And so that was that

650
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: was cool for me to hear and just the buy

651
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: in I get here and sense here, and how the

652
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: veterans have kind of welcomed into the rookies and like

653
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a business, like we're all competing against each other

654
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: for a job, but it certainly doesn't feel like that

655
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: we have a mantra poll and or playing poll for

656
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: one another. And it's like I certainly sense that in

657
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: the way guys, you know, even guys playing the same position,

658
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: fighting for jobs or encouraging each other. So it's super cool.

659
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: That's great. If I don't think for you, what do
