1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Fifteen to ten touched up Sucker. What's up guys, Welcome

2
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: in do a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly as always,

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: joined by Matt Mundy Smith and Fundy. These are one

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: of my favorite episodes where we answer questions from the people.

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: We do it about once every four or five weeks

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of great questions this next forty minutes

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: or so. But I want to start with Leonar Floyd

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: going to the Buffalo Bills. We talked about all these

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: available pass rushers. Leonnar Floyd's going to Buffalo to team

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: up with von Miller, which is what he did with

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: the Rams when they went to the Super Bowl and

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: won it, And he said that there was other teams involved,

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: but Buffalo was the team he wanted to play for

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: and potentially win a Super Bowl.

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Sort of kind of bellies.

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 3: What we talked about last week that when you get

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: into these deals, players are going to look for teams

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: they're going to help them per fool excuse me, perform

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: in post numbers. So when they get back into the

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: market next year, they're at least going to have similar,

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: if not better numbers than they had the year prior.

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: And reading between the lines, I think a lot of

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: that was sort of said by Leonard if you read

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: into what he was saying, I want to win a

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. He's going to team up with von Miller.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: You know what.

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: That defensive line looks like. He's going to be fresh.

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: Maybe he's going to end up being an edge pass

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: rushing specialist. They're pretty deep along that offensive line. So

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: and you look at the number right, here's a guy

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: that's essentially averaging double digit sacks for a half decade straight.

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: And it's seven million bucks with incentives. So it's a

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: pretty low money deal. And like he said, he left

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: a little bit on the table. And I guess that's

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: what we're hoping, is that there's more of that out there.

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: The one interesting thing, and I was at the golf

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: tournament on Monday and doting to some people and just

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: feeling them out about all these premium position guys that

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: are out there and why they're still out there, and

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: they said the same thing, and that is one, just

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: waiting for that right deal to come. And two, maybe

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: they just don't want to go to training camp, maybe

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: don't want to go to mini camp. Maybe they want

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: to wait this thing out and they're gonna get the

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: same amount of money now, probably as they would a

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: little bit down the road, and a lot of those

47
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: vets back in the day would come up with a

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: little ailment as to why they couldn't make it. Oh,

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: I'll be there, and then they show up a couple

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: weeks late, and that could be a big part of it.

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: Those are vets that a bit Clowney and Clark and

52
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: Gockway's guys been around for a long time, and that

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: very well could be it unless there's a number that

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: they absolutely feel like they got to go get. But

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: scratch Floyd off. Still a lot of guys out there

56
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: to help along the defensive line.

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: That's a great point that maybe guys are waiting till

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: end of July to kind of slide into camp avoid

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: this mandatory mini camp coming up. Letterfloyd would have been

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: a nice addition, but there are other guys out there,

61
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: and of course, the hope is that Joey Bosa and

62
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack play as many games as possible for this team,

63
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: and the development of Tully Toy, Polo two and Chris

64
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: Rumpf continues to accelerate, and they have a pretty decent

65
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: pass rush going into twenty twenty three, but not done yet.

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: I think we still have a lot of time to go. Buddy.

67
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: Let's get into some of these questions, and the first

68
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: one is from Brady Wooton. From a scheme perspective, offense,

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: defense or special teams, what newcomer are you guys most

70
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: excited to see on his Chargers roster real quick money,

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: I'll just jump in and say, Eric Hendricks, I think

72
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: to coverage his coverage ability, what he's proven throughout his career.

73
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I know he's a little bit older, but just imagine

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: popping him into that Jacksonville game in the second half

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: and doing work and not having a twenty seven to

76
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: nothing lead or race. I think that's the type of

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: guy that you need on this defense. And you've said

78
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: it specifically that hey, I don't want to hear about

79
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the defense anymore. The offense has got a score points

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: and we got to continue to you know, see thirty

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: eight forty one point games, so we can, you know,

82
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Outdole the Bills and the Chiefs of the world. But

83
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: I do think a guy like Eric Kendricks can help

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Dayon Henley, can help Kenneth Murray, but more importantly, can

85
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: just be the guy that people turn to in that

86
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: linebacking corps and say this is a leader on this team.

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna cheat a little bit on the question just

88
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: because they didn't. It's not like last year when they

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: signed a lot of guys in free agency and you

90
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: could pick from that. We know that rookies, rookies can

91
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: have a big impact or Shaun Slater, Derwin James, we

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: know that full well. But so I'm just gonna cheat

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: a tiny bit. Not really, it's a full cheat. It's

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: not even a tiny bit. I'm gonna go on offense.

95
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see the offensive line now, it's been reconfigured,

96
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: so it's a new offensive line and Zion moveing to

97
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: the left side, plugging Jamari into guard Trey after what

98
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 3: was a for the most part, a breakout year last year.

99
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 3: So to me, this offensive line group is new. It's

100
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: even though it's the same players, they haven't played together,

101
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: and I'm very excited about their potential and putting Zai

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: on next to Slater, the strength that those two have.

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: How good.

104
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: Jamari showed himself to be picking up where he left off,

105
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: winning a national championship at Georgia and just the emergence

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: of Trey So that's that's what I'm most looking forward to.

107
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: I know it's not as sexy as a wide receiver

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: Quinton Johnson or whatever Johnston or whatever it may be,

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: but that's what I'm looking for on offense and on defense.

110
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: To be honest, I think I'm sort of looking as

111
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: crazy as it sounds. It's just the continued development of

112
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: how Derwin's going to be used in Brandon Staley's defense,

113
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: you know. So they're just I feel like last year

114
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: they really in the drafting of Jade Woods, they really

115
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: wanted to cut him loose and make him that queen

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: on the chessboard as people like to talk about, and

117
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: putting him everywhere up high in the box, on the edge,

118
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: in the middle of the field, as a slot defender,

119
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: as the star. He's still I think with this roster

120
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: they're still trying to figure out a way to make

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: that happen. And I'm hopeful that this season that's going

122
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: to be something that we have to look forward to

123
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: that JT will take the next step that he can

124
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: play high in that too high shell with a lowie

125
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: and Derwin can just destroy and that's what he's so.

126
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: Good at is.

127
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: You can put him anywhere on the field and he

128
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: will make an impact. And I prefer to have him

129
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 3: as close to the ball as possible or as close

130
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: to a premier player as possible. Anytime you've got to

131
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: pull him back ten yards fifteen yards off the line

132
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, I feel like it's a loss for the

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: defense just pre snap. So that's those are two things

134
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: that I'm most looking forward to that I hope will

135
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: look different and look better this year.

136
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, money, it's a great segue into the next question.

137
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: But real quick, Durwin was at the golf tournament and

138
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: somebody asked him about j T. Woods, and he plainly

139
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: said JT has got to be more physical and has

140
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: to kind of grow into his body into his second

141
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: year in the NFL. It was also very apparent to

142
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: be that a loowhi Yiellman is somebody he's very comfortable

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: with as his running mate at this point. So let's

144
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: see what JT. Woods looks like coming into training camp

145
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: and if he can make that leap from year one

146
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: to year two. Jared robertson, We've seen the footage of

147
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: Durwin working at edge. What do you guys think about this,

148
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: and he thought that Kellen and Nuss the quarterback coach,

149
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: saw this in Dallas with Mikah and that's how this

150
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: came about. It actually came about Week one last year

151
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: and Joey got hurt. So I think that that's the

152
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: one thing we took from that Raiders game as we

153
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: saw Khalil and Durwin on the same side, like, oh my,

154
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: this could be frightening for offenses in twenty twenty two.

155
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: Then Joey got hurt. Then personnel changes, and you know,

156
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Khalil is having to do a lot, He's seeing a

157
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: lot of double teams. Darwin has to do more in

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: the secondary, and you know, that's why we're hoping that

159
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Joey stays healthy this year, so Darwin can do that

160
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: on a game to game basis.

161
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: Sort of just building on what we just discussed in

162
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: the last the last answer, you know, in terms of

163
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: what I was looking forward to seeing Derwin can do it.

164
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't think, you know, not to take anything away

165
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: from the speculation, but I don't think it has anything

166
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: to do with Kellen and Doug na Smeyer. I think

167
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: it's more Derwin's always done that, you know, the stories

168
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: of him when he was being drafted. Remember, and you

169
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: hear everything about every player that's likely to go in

170
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: the first round. I mean you heard about him playing

171
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: three technique and a zero technique on his high school

172
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: team when their opponent the state championship game was just

173
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: a super physical between the tackles running squad, and he's

174
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: the one that stuffed him on a fourth and one

175
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: to win the state championship at Florida State. They put

176
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: him on it at times when they needed that pass rush.

177
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: He's a really good pass rusher. He's he's a very

178
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: good pass rusher. He times up his blitzes really well.

179
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: It is hard.

180
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: Even though you're talking about equal or maybe even he's

181
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 3: a little bit lighter than some of the running backs

182
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: that are in pass protection. On third down, he blows

183
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: him up. He's incredibly strong, he's long, he has bend

184
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: like edge players do. So to me, that's just that

185
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: video instead of oh, are they they working on something. No,

186
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: that's just a great player trying to be better. That's

187
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: that's a great player that that may have the tag

188
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: that says safety on the depth chart, but to him,

189
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: he's just a football player and he's got two of

190
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: the greatest pass rushers in the NFL, one of the

191
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: greatest of all time in Khalil Mack. As he's sort

192
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: of nearing, you know, the backside of his career now,

193
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: so why not lean on them knowing there are going

194
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: to be occasions when he's called.

195
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: Upon to rush.

196
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: So let's's Joey's got the best hands in the NFL,

197
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: so why not lean on him for his hand lean

198
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: on Khalil Mack for his power and his bull rush,

199
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: and find out if there's something you can add. Even

200
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: though he's a safety, he still called upon to rush

201
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 3: the passer from time to time, at least once a

202
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: game and sometimes, like you said in the Raiders game,

203
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: a lot, and he's very effective doing it. So refine

204
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 3: your technique again. Even though it says ask next to

205
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: your name on the depth chart, doesn't matter. You're asked

206
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: to go get the quarterback, so figure out ways you

207
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: can do that more effectively.

208
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: Since he put on that charger's helmet, he's always been

209
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: the third best pass rusher on the team. That goes

210
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: back to when it was Bosa and Melvin and now

211
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: Bosa and mac Derwin. Is always the third best pass

212
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,479
Speaker 1: Prusher on the team. It's it's just a fact. Yeah,

213
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: what do you expect from Jesse Her and JT. Woods

214
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: this season? This is from Chris g. Seems like they're

215
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: being set up for bigger roles this year, barring any

216
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: late free agent additions. We've talked a lot about j T. Woods, Bundy,

217
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: but Jaseir Taylor is a player that flashed frankly in

218
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: training camp last year. And I was just going back

219
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: to a Miller article from last year and how he

220
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: was kind of trying to soak up knowledge for Bryce Callahan.

221
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: He got his first start, played ninety percent of the

222
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: staffs in that Miami game, and ended up with I

223
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: think three starts last year. So it would be fun

224
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: to see him start against the Miami Dolphins Week one

225
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: with Ronaldo Hill on the other side. But I don't

226
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: know if we're talking enough about Jasa Taylor. We've talked

227
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot about, Hey, Bryce Callahan's out there still, but

228
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: maybe just sears ready for this moment. You know, I

229
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: still think that one hundred and sixty five snaps isn't

230
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: a ton to really tell from your rookie season, but

231
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: he showed flashes. We know what he did on special teams,

232
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: specifically in that Monday night game against the Broncos, helping

233
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: them win it. But I am excited to see what

234
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: JayR does in training camp.

235
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: Well, I would answer it simply as saying he's the

236
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: starting slot. That's what he is right now. There's there's

237
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: no one else on the team that's in and last

238
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: j C. Jackson. Look in an ideal world, JC and

239
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: Michael Davis are your outside corners. A Sante's your slot.

240
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: That's your best corner lineup if that's in the cards,

241
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: and it sounds like it could be, and that means

242
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: and the nice thing about j just sirius. He's big,

243
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: so he can play on the outside and tackle and

244
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: be a physical presence and run support. But if you're

245
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: asking me what's best case this season for Jesse or

246
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: Taylor is special team standout, provides depth at the corner position,

247
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: and he's the fourth corner behind as Sante, JC and

248
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: Michael Davis.

249
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: That would be best case.

250
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: But I think with the injury to Jackson and us

251
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: not necessarily knowing if he's going to be ready for

252
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: Week one right now, as it stands, he would be

253
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: the starting slot or outside and A Sante's a stop,

254
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: but I'm guessing right they view him as a slot corner,

255
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: and so that's what I would envision. But again, nothing

256
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: against Taylor, to hope that's not the case. To hope

257
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: that it's Davis Jackson Samuel As you're starting three corners

258
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: in nickel.

259
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: Two of his three stars last year came against the

260
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins and tight and that was when the defense really

261
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: started playing its best ball down the stretch. So he

262
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: was in with that unit and they were playing good

263
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: ball in December going into January.

264
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: This is saw just going to the slot versus outside thing.

265
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: You saw, you know how much you really struggled in

266
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville game outside when Mikey Davis went down, and

267
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: that's when they really started to eat in the passing game.

268
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: So it's potting.

269
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 3: It looks some guys and slot is not easy. It's

270
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: just a different skill set and perhaps that's what he

271
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: is suited to do best. And so that's sort of

272
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: what my vision is as of today, starting slot moving forward,

273
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: we hope a depth piece because that would mean the

274
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: team is healthy.

275
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael Davis leaving that game such an underrated reason

276
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: why they lost that game in the second half this

277
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: from our friend James Money. What's your biggest focus heading

278
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: into training camp? Offense or defense?

279
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: I'd say probably offense, just because the new coordinator. They're

280
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: not going to show us a lot, but I'm sort

281
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: of anxious to see, you know what we'll be able

282
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: to tell, you know how, It's good because you can

283
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: you can still pull some stuff out of that out

284
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: of training camp. They don't show you a ton, but

285
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: you see enough to kind of get an idea of of,

286
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: you know, sort of what what are the lineups going

287
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: to look like? What kind of formations are they going

288
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: to be in? Is there a lot of bunch? Is

289
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: there a lot of two tight ends?

290
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: Are there?

291
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: Is Eckler going to be flexed out and Isaiah in

292
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: the backfield? So we'll sort of get out. So I'm

293
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: anxious to see what Kellen's vision is. It's a little

294
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: more The defense is going to look the same. There's

295
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: not a lot of new pieces. There's the same coordinator,

296
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: even though Derek Ansley's been promoted and certainly he's going

297
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: to have a much bigger voice on that side of

298
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: the ball, but he and Staley are going to work

299
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: together on that defense. So I suspect it'll look very

300
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: similar to what it's looked like the last two years.

301
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: And there aren't a whole lot of new players out

302
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: there either, So I'm excited to see what Kellen Moore's

303
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: offense is going to look like and how much different

304
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: it's going to look, because look, when Joe Lombardi got hired,

305
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: we did see a lot of.

306
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: Those Saints' concepts.

307
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: We saw a lot of those underneath routes and just

308
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: a lot of quick strikes, quick slants, throws to the flat,

309
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: a lot of running back. When we were talking about,

310
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: oh wow, Austin Eckler is going to be like an

311
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara. So you know, that was from first week

312
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: of training camp.

313
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: So those things.

314
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: Do show up, and I would suspect it'll be the

315
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: same with Kellen Moore. So that's what I'm and I'm

316
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: almost excited, almost, And it's exciting to watch the interaction

317
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: when you're at training camp and you're not seeing what

318
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: social media wants to show you when they're edited clips

319
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: and highlights. When you see the interaction between Kellen Moore

320
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: and Justin Herbert, when you see the interaction between the

321
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: wide receivers and Justin and Austins. They're trying to figure

322
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: this thing out and put this puzzle together. That that

323
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: to me is considerably more intriguing than what I suspect

324
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: will be a very similar defense.

325
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: That's the right answer. Make a case of the defense

326
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: just because I think the leadership of Derek Ansley will

327
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: be on display as the defensive coordinator, and we need

328
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: to see this defense really take another step in year

329
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: three under branded Staley, and I think having a lot

330
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: of the guys that have been here now for two years,

331
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: how are they gonna look at the beginning at training camp.

332
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: You hope that they're ahead of the offense. Frankly, that

333
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: they know their assignments and they should be. They should

334
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: be right. So I do want to see what Derek

335
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Ansley does and how he puts his fingerprints on this.

336
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: We know that Staley calls the plays, but I am

337
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: excited to see Derek Ansley as the leader of this defense.

338
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: Mayor of Boltsville, I believe the twenty twenty three season

339
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: will only go so far as the defense will take us.

340
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Will we see the D from early twenty twenty two

341
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: or the D from late season where they dominated against

342
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: the Titans and Dolphins. So that's kind of what I'm

343
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: getting at, is the defense. Can they carry over that

344
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: late season success early into twenty twenty three and actually

345
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: win some games for this team, And you know, Joey

346
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: Boss is gonna be such a big piece of that money.

347
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate the last two playoff appearances that the Charges

348
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: have had, Joey has had kind of like a similar

349
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: trajectory where he gets hurt at the beginning of the year,

350
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: misses the bulk of the season, then comes back, but

351
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: you don't know if he was really one hundred percent

352
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. So we need that

353
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: dominant year from Joey to really see that true potential

354
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: this Chargers defense.

355
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: No doubt, and that's all it is. It's just health.

356
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 3: And people forget how ravaged this defense was by health

357
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: all season long, really just from the jump, with Joey

358
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: going down so early, j C. Jackson going down early,

359
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: j T. Woods never ascending to a role that they

360
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: thought he was gonna play. Nas remember was dinged up

361
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: at the start of the season, Drew Trankwill missed a

362
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: couple games there early, Kenneth Murray was hurt coming into

363
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: the season, then of course you lost your entire interior

364
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: defensive line with the exception of Sebastian Joseph Day. So

365
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: it's one of those things where if you're just asking me,

366
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: is it going to be better? What about twenty twenty

367
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: two versus twenty three?

368
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: Is health?

369
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: It's just health. Are they gonna stay healthy? Can they

370
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: figure out a way to keep these guys on the field.

371
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: That's ultimately what it's going to come down to. You

372
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: already mentioned Eric Kendricks, and because that's really the only change.

373
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 3: It's Eric Kendricks, and it's some rookies that you're crossing

374
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: your fingers tu Lee to a Polo two that you're

375
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 3: hoping can be that third pass rusher. He was taken

376
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: in the second round, expected to play from week one

377
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: on and have a big role.

378
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: So that's really it. But to me, it's just are

379
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: they healthy?

380
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other edition, I think Nick Williams just for

381
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: death purposes, And then people forget that Austin Johnson got

382
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: hurt in the Atlanta game. Jac got hurt early in

383
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: the year, and you know, we've talked about Jac a lot,

384
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: and the hope is that he's back on the Filly

385
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: come September. This is from Darren Alex money. What's more

386
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: important for the front office this year? Extending Herbert or

387
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: at a quality VET or two on a one year.

388
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: Deal, Stain Herbert. The longer you wait, the more expensive

389
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 3: it gets and the less money you have to spend.

390
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: So I would. I would, And again it's two sides.

391
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: It's what does his agent want? Does his agent want

392
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: to wait out Joe Burrow and top it? Because that's

393
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: good for his agent to say. Even though he was

394
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: the number six pick in the draft than Burrow was

395
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: the number one, we still got more money.

396
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: So you don't know.

397
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: Where they're at. But to me, that's that's it's not

398
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: a cloud that's overhead. It's just something that's not done.

399
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: It's it's unfinished business that you know needs to get

400
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: done this offseason.

401
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 2: Now.

402
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 3: I know they can push back and say, well, no,

403
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: it doesn't he's under contract for two more years. Yeah,

404
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: look how that turned on Baltimore. You don't want this

405
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: thing to drag out. So to me, that's more important.

406
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 3: There aren't The Vets are out there for a reason.

407
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: Are they good players?

408
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 2: Yes? Are they a change your season?

409
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: No?

410
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 3: When we talk about bringing in bringing Bryce Callahan back signing,

411
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: Jadavian Clowney, Frank Clark, Yannick and Gokway.

412
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: Things like that. That's depth.

413
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: That's break glass in case of emergency. That's Joey bos

414
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: has gone down, Khalil Mack's gone down. You gotta have

415
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: some depth there so you don't find yourself in the

416
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: situation you were in last year. That's all we're talking

417
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: about with those signings. They are not going to change

418
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 3: necessarily change the fortunes of the team. They're gonna provide

419
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: depth should you need it. So to me, I would

420
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: really like to see this Herbert contract get done. Now

421
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: that Jalen Hurts is done, Lamar Jackson has done, there's

422
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: framework out there for you to use to just put

423
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: this thing to bed and be able to figure out

424
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: what your money looks like going forward.

425
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would make really no sense to extend this

426
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: any longer than it needs to be with Jalen done

427
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: and with Lean Jackson done and Burrow out there all right.

428
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: Burrow's been to a Super Bowl. Burrow's in that same

429
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: category as justin Herbert, whoever tops whom. I don't think

430
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: it really matters at this point because they're gonna get

431
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: another bite at the apple here in five to seven years,

432
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: and you know, you take the deal right now, and

433
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be a pretty darn good deal. You

434
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: see what Labar and Jialing got. This next question from

435
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: Lightning McQueen, I think that's a playoff gun tightened up. Yeah,

436
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: they won player from offense and one player from defense

437
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: that need to take the biggest steps forward this year

438
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: for the Chargers to be contenders. That's a good question, Mondy.

439
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: You want to go first, Well, let's see offense. I

440
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: suppose since they didn't do anything in the draft and

441
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: nothing in free agency, and clearly Austin Eckler getting a

442
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: couple million bucks in incentives and not an extra year

443
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: suggests that I say, a spiller better take that steps.

444
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: That's what they're expecting. They are expecting him to take

445
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: that step, and there's a reason they drafted him in

446
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: what I would consider a premium round for running backs.

447
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: It's where good running backs tend to go. So that

448
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: would be the biggest one. Austin has set it repeatedly,

449
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: and look, he was not at his best in that

450
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: Jacksonville game. They rush for fourteen yards in the second

451
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: half because the season wears you down at that position.

452
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: So in order to keep Austin fresh, you need a

453
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: number two. And I skip over Josh Kelly because we

454
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: know what Josh Kelly is. We know the style of

455
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: run that works for him. He's not stretched out. He's

456
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: not make a guy juke and make a guy missing

457
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the backfield. No, he has put your head down and

458
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: crashed through the line. Find that hole and go get it.

459
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: He's a good pass protector. We don't know what Isaiah is,

460
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: so on offense, I would go Isaiah.

461
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 3: On defense. It's gonna sound crazy. It's Joey Bosa. He's

462
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: got to stay healthy. He has got to stay healthy.

463
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 3: And I know that's easier said than done. It's a

464
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: violent game. It's a physical game. But he is one

465
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: of the top paid defensive ends in the league. He

466
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 3: is one of the best defensive ends in the league.

467
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: He means so much to that defense and he gets hurt.

468
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: He is He is off the field too much for

469
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: this team to be successful. So I don't I'm not

470
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: trying to pin it on him and saying he can

471
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: play and he's not. That's not what I'm getting at.

472
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm saying somehow whether you know, you hear about it

473
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: all the time. Oh, this guy started doing yoga and

474
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: now I'm healthy. You know, whatever that thing is. And

475
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: if it's less reps because you have depth on the

476
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: defensive line and he doesn't have to play as much,

477
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 3: whatever that thing might be, that's the most important step

478
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 3: that needs to be taken on this defense over the

479
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: last three years. Having that guy out there for fifteen games,

480
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: fourteen to fifteen games and the playoffs is is what's

481
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: going to do the most for this team. There is

482
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 3: nothing that will compare to what that would do for

483
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: this team.

484
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: I've in lockstep with you on Joey because you know

485
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: the numbers that he's put up. You know, they've come

486
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: in years where they haven't won and they haven't been

487
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. That's why in twenty twenty three, you

488
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: want to see Joey with monster numbers, tackles for loss,

489
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback, and that contributing to actually getting

490
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and winning some games. So I'm with

491
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: you there. I throw Kenneth Murray in there. You know,

492
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: I think we've seen Kenneth Murray ascend a little bit,

493
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: but this is going to be a huge year. For him,

494
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: and when you have Eric Kendrickson in the room now

495
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: and dayone Henley kind of nibbing at your heels and

496
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: maybe a candidate to get some playing time. Kenneth was

497
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: somebody who was drafted when Anthony Lynn was here, and

498
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: this is a big year for him offensively. I'm with

499
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: you again on Isaiah Spiller. I'd add Donald Parham to

500
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: the mix because this is a guy that has so

501
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: much potential. He was so efficient with his touches and

502
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: his receptions when he kind of burst onto the scene,

503
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: scored like three touchdowns in like six catches, had that

504
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: really scary injury on Thursday night football against the Chiefs.

505
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: Was hurt last year, and we talked about this basketball

506
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: team they're building with Quintin Johnson and Mike Williams and

507
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: Palmer and Everett, but I feel like we haven't mentioned

508
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: Parham as much just because he's been kind of out

509
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: of sight, out of mind, and this is an opportunity

510
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 1: for him to take advantage of one on ones and

511
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: to build on that basketball team that they have right now.

512
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: Especially with Mike and Quinton and Joshua there, You're gonna

513
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: see some one on one opportunities. You're a big dude,

514
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: and Justin knows how to find you. So I do

515
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: think that if Donald can contribute, We're talking about what

516
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: you were saying, money, this offense continuously putting up points

517
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: in different guys contributing.

518
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just gonna one hundred percent. That's a great

519
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: one on parum, especially in the red zone. But last year,

520
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: Joey five games, two and a half sacks. Go back

521
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: to the year before, played all sixteen games, ten and

522
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 3: a half sacks, seven ten and a half sacks, seven

523
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: forced fumbles when he played sixteen games. That's the type

524
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: of impact that we're talking about. You know, in twenty

525
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: nineteen played sixteen games, eleven and a half sacks and

526
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: forty seven solo tackles as a defensive end. Like that's

527
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: that changes everything. It changes everything, And that's what I'm

528
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: getting And you look through his his log and it

529
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 3: was five games in twenty twenty two, it was seven

530
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: games in twenty eighteen, it was twelve games in twenty twenty.

531
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: So that's that's what I'm getting at. It's nothing directed

532
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 3: at him personally, it's just how important he is and

533
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 3: what a difference it makes when he's out there. To

534
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: have him and Khalil Mack out there at the same time,

535
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: and Derwin out there, it just changes everything.

536
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: We gay team a couple of years ago too, like

537
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: they were knocking on the door. If they would have

538
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders, they would have gotten too the postseason.

539
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: And he was having an unbelievable year, right. You mentioned

540
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: those those forced fumbles. Man, he's a master at that.

541
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: Andrew Bolt up, Andrew. If slash Win Quintin Johnson becomes

542
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver three, would it be during training camp or

543
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: slowly but surely during the season. I don't know if

544
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: you if you put him at wide receiver three, I

545
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: just I don't know if there is a wide receiver

546
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: three on this team. Frankly, that means that you'd have

547
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: to supplant Joshua Palmer, who we've seen firsthand after practice

548
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: working with Keenan Allen getting those extra reps in learning

549
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: the offense. And I know it's a new offense now,

550
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: but Joshua was instrumental when Keenan and Mike were down

551
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: in helping this team win games. So I don't think

552
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: you forget about Joshua Palmer in the same breath Derwin

553
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: said that he's been very impressed with Quinton Johnson, that

554
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: he's that dude, and that's a good thing to hear

555
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: from your first team All Pro in the secondary.

556
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think wide receiver three is just a weird

557
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 3: way to look at it. The way I would would

558
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: frame it is reps, not even right snaps. How many

559
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 3: snaps is he getting you, Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer,

560
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 3: Jalen Geiten, Quenton, you know, Quentin Johnson, and how many

561
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 3: snaps is he getting? Can he get into the rotation

562
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 3: where if Kennan's got to come off for a breather,

563
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 3: give him a series off and now Quinton's in the slot.

564
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: Mike Williams just caught a fifty yard pass for you know,

565
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 3: a long, a long bomb to put you in the

566
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 3: red zone. And you got first and ten from the fifteen.

567
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: See Mike six ' three out Quentin Johnston six to

568
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 3: three in Like that's, you know, get your breather, Mike,

569
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: and let's see if we can get this touchdown with

570
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: fresh legs. Quintin in the red zone. So that's it's

571
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: not necessarily who's the wide receiver one, who's the wide

572
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: receiver two, who's the wide receiver three? It's all about

573
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: how many snaps are you getting because these guys aren't

574
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 3: gonna play these wide receivers. They're if you're if you

575
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: have an explosive offense, and if you're making big plays,

576
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna need breathers. And so that's to me, it's

577
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: more about that. It's more about what are they asking

578
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: him to do? Is he is he a big play guy?

579
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 3: Is he think about Jalen Guiden, You wouldn't call him

580
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: a wide receiver three or a wide receiver four. He

581
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: was just a guy that was able to come up

582
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: with some big plays, big fifty yard catches, and and

583
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: every season he'd have like three touchdowns right in those

584
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: two seasons when he when he came on, Like, that's

585
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: the way to look at it. Where is he is

586
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: he out there in the red zone? Is he is

587
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: he out there on third down? Is he a great

588
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: third down player? Does he have hands that that justin

589
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: trusts and that big body and the ability to use

590
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: that catch radius against smaller corners. So that's that's more

591
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: of a way to look at it. It's not about hey,

592
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: are they calling on is Quentin gonna surpass josh Palmer.

593
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: To me, it's more just all about the room. Is

594
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: he someone who is able to get on the field

595
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: for justin to trust There aren't drop issues, there's that's

596
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: that's sort of what you're looking at more than where

597
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: does where Where does he slot in the hierarchy of

598
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: the receiver room. It's it's a lot more about auction

599
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: and snap totals than anything.

600
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: It's almost like tears. Right when Keenan came on to

601
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: the scene in twenty thirteen and established himself. You know,

602
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: even the year that Mike Williams was drafted, Keenan was

603
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: the undisputed number one wide receiver on the team. Now,

604
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: I think you can make the case that it's one

605
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: to one a right, like Keenan and Mike eat first, right, then.

606
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: They're just so different.

607
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're different too, Right, you got the guy and

608
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: you got a fifty eighty twenty guy, right, Quinton and

609
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: Joshua Palmer I kind of put in that category like

610
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: these are the guys fighting for more reps and can deliver.

611
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: And then again, I don't think people should forget about

612
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Gidon. Jalen Geiiton is still young, he's still fast,

613
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be ready to go the fall.

614
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 3: Here's the way I look at her. I'm pulling up

615
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: the Bengals stats from last year. Jamar Chase one thousand

616
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: and fifty yards, nine touchdowns, T Higgins one thousand and

617
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: thirty yards, seven touchdowns, Tyler Boyd had seven sixty two

618
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: and five touchdowns. And you look at first downs, Tyler

619
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: Body have forty one first downs. So even though he's

620
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: down that list in production, forty one first downs, moving

621
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: the sticks, extending drives, It's like, yeah, that's that's your

622
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: wide receiver three. But that's how important that guy is.

623
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: If you think, you know, who else has had a

624
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: really deep who else had a really deep receiver room.

625
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to Philadelphia right now, and I think what

626
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: you're going to see. So here's what we got in Philadelphia,

627
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 3: right aj Brown fifteen hundred eleven touchdowns, DeVante Smith twelve

628
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: hundred seven touchdowns. And then you go to Goddard because

629
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: they have that dominant tight end. You know, here's a

630
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 3: guy with forty first downs. So that's sort of what

631
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: I'm getting at. What do Quinton?

632
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: What? You know?

633
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: What do Quinton Johnston's numbers look like in first downs

634
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: in touchdowns. It's not necessarily about where does he slot

635
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 3: in at the end of the year statistically, it's can

636
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 3: you be a big contributor out there?

637
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: And if you're Charges fan, you should be encouraged that

638
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: we're just talking about the wide receivers. We didn't mention

639
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Gerald evert Donald parhum Right. Those are guys that make

640
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: plays down the field and get your key first down

641
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: and be a red zone threat. So Kellen Moore has

642
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: a lot to work with. This is from our guys,

643
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: the thunder Down Under Chargers podcast from Australia. These guys

644
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: are awesome. A simple one for you, Chris and Money.

645
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: Fan excitement may be suppressed right now because of the

646
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: brutal way that last season ended in Jacksonville, but this

647
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: is still a good roster. Number one, what is your

648
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: record prediction for the twenty twenty three Chargers? And number two?

649
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Will they win the AFC? West love the shows.

650
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: That's a.

651
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: Money I'll go and say that. I don't think the

652
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: team has given us enough to say you're there a

653
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen win team yet. Are they capable? Absolutely?

654
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: But the AFC is so much tougher. I still see

655
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: them as a nine to ten to eleven win team

656
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: with the potential to have a higher ceiling. But I can't.

657
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: It's a tough schedule.

658
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: It's tough.

659
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 3: It's the AFC East. We expect all four of those

660
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 3: teams to be potential playoff teams. They get the NFC North,

661
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: which they get a little bit of a break.

662
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: I believe.

663
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: I don't expect Minnesota to be a thirteen win team

664
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: again this year. Green Bay still has a very good defense,

665
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 3: but you've got to believe they're going to take a

666
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 3: step back on offense, at least I think they are.

667
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: With Jordan Love.

668
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: It would be a real condemnation about how checked out

669
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers was if they don't take a step back.

670
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: You know, the Bears are still rebuilding. The Lions are

671
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: certainly on the come. But I'll believe it when I

672
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: see it, or, as Patrick Mahomes says, I'll see it

673
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: when I believe it. So it's not an easy schedule.

674
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: The good thing is their primetime games are at home,

675
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: and that's a big win. You know, four of them

676
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: are at home, so that helps a lot when you're

677
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: sitting around all day you're not sitting in a hotel

678
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: room waiting for kickoff. You're a little bit more in

679
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 3: your comfort zone. You don't have to show up to

680
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: the to the stadium until a little bit later. You

681
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: get to kind of be a little bit more on

682
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 3: a regular schedule. So that's good. And I just think

683
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 3: it's foolish to pick against the Chiefs as much as

684
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: I'd like to. We did it last year, and for

685
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: whatever reason, this team just has has yet to get

686
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: over that hump. They can't beat Kansas City. They can

687
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: put them on the ropes and you can see you

688
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: can see Kansas City. They're wobbling, they're leaning against those

689
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: ropes and you just need that one more punch to

690
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: knock them out, and they have not been able to

691
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 3: do it. So until I see that, I think it's

692
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: just a little bit too know homersh to say, yes,

693
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: I'm picking them to win the AFC West, and I'm

694
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 3: picking them to win thirteen games. I think based on

695
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 3: what the schedule looks like and what the Chiefs have

696
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 3: been able to do, regardless of personnel, as long as

697
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have been there, they'll be in

698
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: the man. They'll have an opportunity just like they did

699
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 3: last year in prime time. It's so far until they

700
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: lost on the last possession, and if they can get

701
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: over that hump, then yes they can be a twelve

702
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: win AFC West Championship team. But we just we got

703
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: to see it. It's until they show us they can

704
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 3: beat the Chiefs. It's it's very very hard to project

705
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 3: that and to do it logically.

706
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: A Fear asked you the same question and you pretty

707
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: much just answered it, this is the show me season now, money,

708
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: it's you know, last year, I think we got caught

709
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: up in all the trades and the free agent acquisitions

710
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: and the potential and how scary this team could look

711
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: like on both sides of the football. And this is

712
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the year that you've de thrown

713
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I guess with the Chiefs win another Super Bowl.

714
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, the thing, like, the thing about the thing

715
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 3: about the Chiefs is this. So I'm just kind of

716
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 3: going back because this is what everyone's going to point to,

717
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: and I get it, right, I totally get it. So

718
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 3: the Chargers are up seventeen to seven. They got two

719
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: BS penalties called against them that should have been interceptions,

720
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 3: and instead one was a review that should have never

721
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 3: overturned what was an interception from Messante. The worst one

722
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 3: was the past interference called on Callahan, and which was

723
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: an interception when a receiver just ran right into his back.

724
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 3: So that's what they point to, like, oh my gosh,

725
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: they could have been up thirty one to seven. They

726
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: they you know, that's that's the way that thing was going.

727
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: And then Herbert hurts his ribs and then oh it's

728
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 3: the pick six that ends up being the difference in

729
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: that game. And when they're tied at seventeen and it's

730
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 3: a first in goal and they would have gone up

731
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 3: twenty five.

732
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: That's every year, I know, another year reveled.

733
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 3: Now right, it's like I'm going to the I'm going

734
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 3: to the loss in it's so far from last year, Right,

735
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 3: Chiefs outscored the Chargers fourteen to seven and win thirty

736
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 3: to twenty seven. They outscored fourteen seven in the fourth

737
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 3: quarter and they win thirty to twenty seven.

738
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 2: It's so far.

739
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 3: Yes, they were up twenty seven to twenty three with

740
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: them minute forty six to go, and they lost the game.

741
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: Like that's the stuff that needs to change in order

742
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 3: to pick them to win the AFC West. When they've

743
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,479
Speaker 3: got the Chiefs on the ropes, they've got to knock

744
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: them out, regardless of bad officiating, regardless of the sideline.

745
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 3: Didn't see Gerald Everett tapping out after that long completion

746
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: and he wasn't ready for the snap. And that's how

747
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 3: the pick six games clean it up. That's the stuff

748
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 3: that's got to get cleaned up in order to beat

749
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: a team that's been to the super Bowl three times

750
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 3: in the last four years and one two of them.

751
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, next one. This is fun from Scott,

752
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: your guy's ideal jersey selection combo for the home primetime games.

753
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned they got four of them. What's your go

754
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: to fit?

755
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 2: Well.

756
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 3: I don't like the Navy, never have not my thing.

757
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: I like the powder blue, so I know the players

758
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 3: like the Navy. Some people like the Navy.

759
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 2: I do not.

760
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of the Navy, and I think

761
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: their record suggests as much. They do not play well

762
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 3: in the Navy, so that could be one of my issues.

763
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: And I am a uniform guy, so I believe in

764
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 3: that stuff. I don't like wearing white at home. To me,

765
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,479
Speaker 3: you are the home team. Wear your color. Very very

766
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 3: few fans are buying white Charger jerseys. They're buying powder

767
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: blue jerseys. So to me, that's what you should wear

768
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: at home. I have long been a powder blue top

769
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: gold pant guy, but I've come around on the powder

770
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 3: blue white pant combo. So to me, I would just

771
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: alternate those. I do two of each, and and well,

772
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: let me let me, let me check that. So I'll

773
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 3: do two. I'll do two powder blue gold, I'll do

774
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 3: one powder blue white, and then give me the Royals

775
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: because the royal blue is my favorite. So give me

776
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: the royal blue. That's what I will toad to me.

777
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: Get the Navy out of here, just lose it, keep it.

778
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 3: The royal blue is your alternate blue with the powder blue.

779
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: I don't need the I don't need the Navy. I

780
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 3: want stand natural means business. My apologies, but I want

781
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: Dan Foul Chuck Muncy, Royal blue, Charlie Joyner. That's my

782
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 3: that's my Charger color of preference. I love the Royal Blue.

783
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: Love the Royals. I wish they would have worn the

784
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: Royals on Sunday Night Football against the Dolphins like the

785
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: epic in Miami Vibes when they you know what I mean.

786
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: So you have enough primetime games where you can throw

787
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: the Royals in. Maybe where the Royals week want against

788
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I don't know, yeah, like maybe just kicking

789
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: throwback vibe to me?

790
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 3: To me, one of my favorite like one of the

791
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: things about uniforms is I'm kind of looking at the

792
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: schedule here is like I want to mimic what's in

793
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 3: the stands. What what are most of your fans buying?

794
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 3: When you walk around town and you walk around so far,

795
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 3: what are most people wearing? Most people are wearing a

796
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: powder blue number ten. That's what the majority of the

797
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 3: fans are wearing right now. So you know, match the

798
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: people that are there. House is going to be packed

799
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 3: the time games powder blues are going to be out.

800
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 3: Youatt to match them.

801
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: All right. Money hates this next question, Well, the Navy

802
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: helmet make a debut on the uniforms, sure as I'll

803
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: hope not. What if Hey, what if they did it

804
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: without the number and it was just like a you know,

805
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: it was like an ode to the no, no, that's

806
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: not interested. Second to get it done for you?

807
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: Not interested at all.

808
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: I'm trying to see, let me see if I still

809
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 3: have it if I can find one of the twenty

810
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 3: twenty one Week sixteen. I'm trying to find just kind

811
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: of one of our one of our Chargers notes. But

812
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 3: I don't think that these are all from twenty twenty one.

813
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: See, here's been some heartbreaking those navies. Do you remember

814
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders game in twenty.

815
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm saying. Like I'm trying to find

816
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: my I'm trying to find my downloads here of I'm

817
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: going to back. I got to go to the back

818
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: end of twenty twenty two.

819
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: Here or here we go.

820
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: Let me see if I can find it for the

821
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 3: playoff game, so I can get that number. I want

822
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 3: to see what their record is because I'm telling you

823
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 3: they do not they do not do well in those uniforms.

824
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: I know for a fact they don't do well. And

825
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 3: unfortunately I can't find any. If you have any, there's

826
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 3: I know for a fact the uniform record is on

827
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: our game notes. I just can't find. I think I

828
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 3: delete them all unfortunately. So but I'm I'm positive. Yeah,

829
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 3: I am almost positive. See because I'm just so obsessive compulsive.

830
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 3: Let me see if I can pull it up.

831
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: Work, I'll ask this last question as you as you

832
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: pull it up. We actually just we talked about Eric Kendricks,

833
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: but the leadership aspect on the defense, Uh, he is.

834
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: Connor talked about him versus Tranquill. He thinks that kendricks

835
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: Is leadership is going to be really instrumental for this team.

836
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: I look at some of the.

837
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 3: Free agent movies and you know what, I saw that

838
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 3: question do me a favorite? Chris read me that question

839
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 3: because there was one that jumped out at me when

840
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 3: when I read it, and I was like, that's not fair.

841
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 2: It might be that one.

842
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Yep, Connor, how much of an impact do you see

843
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: do you foresee Eric kendricks leadership on the defense have?

844
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: I feel like that is the main difference between he

845
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: and s Tranquill. I feel like he is a much

846
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: better leader.

847
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's not fair. And I'll tell you why because.

848
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: Connor let me just finish what he said. I played

849
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: college inside linebacker, and I feel like the most important

850
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: role of a MIC is to not only be a playmaker,

851
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: but more importantly a leader and coordinator of the defense.

852
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: I always felt like Tranquill wasn't that kind of leader.

853
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 3: So disagree. Yeah, just which is fine, Connor, No, no worries.

854
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 3: I'm not coming at you or anything like that. I'm

855
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: just saying I'll disagree having been around the team, you

856
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: don't get the green dot without being a leader. And

857
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 3: his teammates loved him, absolutely loved playing with Drew. He's

858
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 3: a great leader, he's a great linebacker. He had a

859
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 3: breakout season last year. I thought for sure he was

860
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: going to be coming back.

861
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 2: He's not.

862
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 3: Why isn't he My belief goes back to what we

863
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 3: said about Joey. Drew's really struggled to stay healthy. He's

864
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 3: just had myriad injuries throughout his career. He struggled with injuries,

865
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 3: just soft tissue stuff that tends to pop up. To me,

866
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 3: that's ultimately what got him. And I think this team

867
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 3: has dealt with so much bad injury luck that they

868
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 3: figured we can get the same thing. Maybe it's a

869
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 3: slide upgrade, even though the guy's a little bit older

870
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 3: and is probably at his peak right now in Eric Kendricks,

871
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 3: whereas Drew is an ascending player. He has gotten better

872
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 3: every single year, and you tend to want to keep

873
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 3: those guys around. I think for them it's just limit

874
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: our injury, our injury, bad luck. Let's try to if

875
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: we can control it and we can find and remember

876
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 3: they paid Eric Hendricks more than Drew got from Kansas City.

877
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 3: So to me, that's why he's not here and Eric

878
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 3: Kendricks is. I certainly think that Kendricks provides more. They

879
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 3: don't need leadership. You don't need leadership on a defense

880
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: that's got Khalil Mack and dirty and James like that's

881
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 3: that's not something that I think you necessarily need.

882
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 2: Now.

883
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 3: I think Kendricks is going to provide it. We've talked

884
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 3: to him enough, and we know him from UCLA. We

885
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 3: are with him on Monday at the golf tournament. Talked

886
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 3: to him for a little while, actually quite a while,

887
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 3: and so I know that he said, yeah, I'm trying

888
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 3: to just let the team come to me. I'm not

889
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: putting myself out there too much, just sort of seeing

890
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 3: how it's all laid out. But and he even echoed

891
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: what Colin and Colin was his name said in the

892
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 3: question that yes, this is something I'm used to that

893
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: that is required from my position, and I expect to

894
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: have a leadership role. But for I don't think that's

895
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't think Brandon Staley said we need more leadership

896
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 3: on this defense. I don't think that's what was said

897
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: at all. To me, it's more, can we can we

898
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: limit our injury issues? Is there a way to do

899
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: that without sacrificing quality at the position. And to me,

900
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: that's more of what this is.

901
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: I think it's more about Kendricks's play in his history

902
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: as a as a really good linebacker, versus his leadership.

903
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: He said, you Derwin James, Derwin James your leader, Khalil Mack.

904
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, you.

905
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: Bring in guys like Sebastian Joseph Day and and you

906
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: know Kyle van Noy was a leader late in the year.

907
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: He he kind of waited to make his move as

908
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: as leader of the team late down the stretch when

909
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: Joey was out. So you're right, you don't need more leaders.

910
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: You need playmakers, and you need health. That's it. You

911
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: need health, one hundred percent.

912
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 2: Availability.

913
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: That's all. We got. Anything else before we get out

914
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: of here, we had, I guess we got mandatory minicamp

915
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: coming up, So what have you covered with that? And uh,

916
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: then we we hit it. Hit it for summer vacation.

917
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: Probably, I think the only.

918
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 3: Other thing to to bring up just because I mentioned

919
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 3: it last week about Damon Lloyd getting cut. Yeah, they

920
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 3: signed Darius Sheppard, just kind of a journeyman wide receiver.

921
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 3: So making sure I acknowledge that for people that are

922
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 3: coming back this week, so you know whatever happened with

923
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: that that spot Leonard Floyd was signed, and yeah, they

924
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 3: sign Darius Sheppard. And by the way, I'll just share

925
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: it because I asked him on the air about it.

926
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 3: I talked, we asked Tom to LESCo at the golf tournament.

927
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 3: There's a lot of big free agents out there, and

928
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: so we brought that up what's going on, and also

929
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: brought up the Herbert contract with Tom and just said

930
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 3: that everything is fine between Herbert his representatives. Tom ed maguire,

931
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 3: everything's fine. They're just still trying to figure it out.

932
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 3: No issues there, And he said in terms of free

933
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 3: agents that he believes, similar to what we said at

934
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: the top of the show, these guys are just waiting.

935
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 3: They're either waiting for the perfect deal or they like

936
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 3: to they like to kind of be out there until

937
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 3: training camp maybe gets going.

938
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: I think the latter makes a heck of a lot

939
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 1: of sense, especially if you're in your seventh eighth, ninth.

940
