1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Late fifteen to ten touchdown us.

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: What's up, guys, Welcome into a week nine edition of

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Chargers Weekly. We are presented by split Tero, as always,

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: joined by the Voice of the Chargers, Matt Muddy Smith.

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: Keimani Via Dell will join us. What an awesome couple

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: of weeks he's had money.

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, last three weeks had it pulled up here.

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm actually prepared for once last three fifty one carries

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: most or fourth most in the NFL, two hundred fifty

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: eight yards, six most, five point one per ninth most

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: yards after contact, ninth most, one hundred and fifty one

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: eight miss tackles, twelve first downs, that's seventh most. I

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about a top eight back in the NFL.

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: Over the last three game.

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: Cast protection box highlight worthy blocks.

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's you know, that's always been sort of

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: the top of the priority list for Jim Harbaugh as

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: you better be able to protect, you know, the most

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: important play on the team if you're going to be

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: back there. And I think that was something that Kim

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: Mountie had, you know, had had to learn how to

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: do his rookie season. And I think you know, when

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about building that fifty three and who you

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: went out there. I think that was part of the process,

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: and to his credit, it seems like that's the one

26
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: thing he really attacked. We always knew he had explosiveness

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: and had great hands to catch them all the backfield,

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: it was sort of just the pass protection, especially when

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: you're a little bit more of a dominiontive back versus

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: a power back. And I think he's really kind of

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: come around, not just come around, but he's really excelled

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: at it. And I think that's what's led to really

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: for the most part, you know, you just see it's

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: it's all Kimani like there's there's really not a lot

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: of variation in that backfield. He's pretty much doing it

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: all these last few weeks.

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: He's earned it.

38
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: He's earned it, you know, with the with the offensive

39
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: line of flux, getting Joe All back on Thursday night,

40
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: and then to have k Mouni kind of stabilize the

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: position until Marii and gets back. I mean, it's been

42
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: a pleasant surprise. And there has been so many guys

43
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: that you know, we'll get into that that have contributed

44
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: that we didn't talk about in Week one, you know,

45
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: especially these rookies from Gadsend to Mickens. You know, yeah,

46
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: Trey Harris. So we talked about the Vikings game after

47
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: the game on Friday. So it's Tennessee week. You get

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: a short buy. How important was this mini buy for

49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: this team?

50
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: I think pretty big. I mean, look, you just just

51
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: think about Derwin, right, Derwin leaves the Minnesota game in

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: the first half, shows up in the second half in

53
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: a boot, and he's back out of practice. Now does

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: that mean he's going to play? I think that's a

55
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: very interesting decision for coach Harbaugh and his staff to

56
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: kind of figure out how they want to play this game.

57
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they've already traded their two starting corners. You know,

58
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: the deadline is Tuesday or Wednesday. I think it's Wednesday. Yeah,

59
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: one came to LA, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, McCreary come

60
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: to LA. And I think you're probably going to see

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: more guys on that team traded here. So it appears

62
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: as though, you know, with a new GM with an

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: interim head coach, this is a team that is cert

64
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: certainly at one and seven looking forward, and I think

65
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: you have to decide, Okay, we got the mini buy,

66
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: and now we've got a team that across the board,

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: and you never want to take an opponent lightly. They

68
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals in Arizona. I think it was yeah,

69
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: like che was in Arizona, so inexplicably it was a

70
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: wild game. They had no business winning that game. But

71
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: I think it's sort of one of those we got

72
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: the mini by and can we can we afford to

73
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: give during another week? And when I look at like

74
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: the signing of Marcus Williams of the practice squad and

75
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, it's sort of lining up like that.

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: So I think you combine the mini by with this

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: particular opponent and just not on their personnel, but how

78
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: they're behaving right now with her interim coach with are

79
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: we going to see Simmons? And like if I think

80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: if you see it come out on Friday that they're out,

81
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I think that'll end up being you could end up having,

82
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, almost two weeks of rest for some of

83
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: these guys going into the Steelers game on Sunday, if

84
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: you want to play it that way.

85
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Simmons did not practice I believe on Wednesday now, right,

86
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: so we'll check his status throughout the week, you know,

87
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley didn't practice right. Is the offense for the

88
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: Titans is is certainly a work in progress with cam

89
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: Ward under center. And you know what's funny, man cam

90
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: Ward and Dayon Henley were teammates at Wasoo. At Wazoo,

91
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: Dayon led the team in tackles, and of course Kim

92
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: Ward did his thing at quarterbacks. So we just should

93
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: talk to day On about just his relationship with cam Ward.

94
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: But this is a team.

95
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: Six of their seven losses have come by double digits,

96
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: so like they've been blowouts. I think the one game

97
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: that wasn't double digits was weak one against the Broncos.

98
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: So this is a team certainly a transition, and we

99
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: saw the Chargers lose to a rookie quarterback on the

100
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: road earlier this year. Though, So to your point, like

101
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: it's the NFL, you can't take any team lightly. But

102
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: if you have an opportunity to rest Durwin for Sunday

103
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: night football against Pittsburgh, I think you do it.

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, And look, offensively, they're pretty much either

105
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: last or second to last in every single category. They

106
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: have really struggled. I mean literally thirty second or thirty

107
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: first in yards yards per play passing, rushing, time up possession,

108
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: like all of those are either thirty two or thirty one.

109
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: And so if you feel confident in what you saw

110
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: from RJ. Mickens and Elijah Molden, and you know if

111
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Kenda Williamson, who we saw in the preseason was very

112
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: versatile and moved around from all those spots, like if

113
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: you can do that, and look, Durwin's going to fight

114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: to play. We know that, sure, But to me, it's

115
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: just and if he's good, he's just like, what's your

116
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: percentage meter? You know? If we got the Steelers coming in,

117
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: they run a ton of twelve and twenty two and

118
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: they got you know, freaking Washington out there, who's two

119
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds. Who's going to be on the

120
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: side of that line? If Drwin's lining up, they is

121
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: sort of like that slot defender that's attack like, he's

122
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: going to have to deal with a lot of physicality.

123
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: I think in that Pittsburgh game that we're I think

124
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: that's where this conversation comes in. And again, I'm sure

125
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: coach would punch me in the throat if you heard

126
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: us talking like this, because you know, you never want

127
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: to say, oh, we're looking to the Steelers. But I

128
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: think that's that sort of we're ret and I think

129
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot of that could depend on what happens between now.

130
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: On Sunday. You could see Tony Pollard get moved. I

131
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: think I would. I would suspect he'll probably get moved

132
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: before the deadline. You might see Kevin Zeidler get moved.

133
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: You know, signed a one year deal. Who's you know

134
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: late in his career, who's used to playing was on

135
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: Detroit last year, was playing for the Ravens for all

136
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: those years. Like I think, if you see those sort

137
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: of signals, it could condition what the Chargers opt to

138
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: do with a lot of these guys that could really

139
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: benefit from maybe another week of rest.

140
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: Now one guy we won't see his tar heeb still. Yeah,

141
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: that's a bummer, which is a bummer. But again, if

142
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: if this is the stretch that he has to miss,

143
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: I guess it's probably the best stretch to miss, given

144
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: what the November December look like. But to see maybe

145
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: Nico Reid step up and finally get activated. We saw

146
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: the plays that he made throughout the course of training

147
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: camp in preseason, that Hall of Fame game in particular,

148
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: and just to line in with guys like Mickens and

149
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: Trey Harrison, Gats and these young rookies.

150
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: Maybe Nico Reid maybe it's a good.

151
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: Spot for him. Fatally, Yeah, it could be. It'll be again.

152
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: That's one also that I think it'll be interesting to

153
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: see how they play it. Is Nico read More of

154
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: a developmental player that they're afraid would get plucked off

155
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: the practice squad, so they're just keeping him, you know,

156
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: on the active roster, and he's in active every single

157
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: week and they're looking toward twenty twenty six. Or you

158
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: see someone that is a depth piece that you trusted

159
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: to throw out there on a Sunday because you know

160
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: they can put John the slot and just have Cam

161
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: and Dante on the outside and essentially take all those

162
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: slot snaps from Tarheeve and you're not rotating that particular

163
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: player to the outside. Maybe it's Dean Leonard. You know,

164
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: his windows is open, and that's going to be a

165
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: huge boost for special teams. They desperately needed him out there,

166
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: so that's going to be a big win for Ryan

167
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Ficken and his lot. But like I remember, two preseasons ago,

168
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: we were like, oh man, Dean Leonard's taking the jump.

169
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, he looked great, and so I think that's

170
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: a possibility where, like you said, if it lines upright

171
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: where you have either an opportunity for Nico to get

172
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: his feet wet against the thirty second ranked pass defense

173
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: and a team that's you know, doesn't have you know,

174
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley out there, I mean nothing against ella reck

175
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: andemo ala manor ala manor ala manor there we go,

176
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: you salamander, Yeah, exactly, Alamanner and those guys out there

177
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: at receiver where it could be a perfect spot to

178
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: get his feet wet.

179
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question.

180
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: You know this this stretch, if you look at what's

181
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: happening with Tennessee, then Sunday Night footballgainst the Steelers, then

182
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: Jacksonville a bye in the Raiders. I think we kind

183
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: of ended the podcast last week talking about, like you

184
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: break the season up in quarters, like this is a

185
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: crucial quarter for the Chargers to stack wins, stack wins

186
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: in the AFC and then get ready for this November

187
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: December stretch where you have tougher opponents on paper.

188
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you get healthy. Yeah, Like that's the key

189
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: is you know it could The way the schedule laid

190
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: out really couldn't have been better for what they're dealing with,

191
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: you know where, like you said, you have your mini

192
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: by after the Thursday, you know, Whilela Marian's out, while

193
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: you were dealing with Joe Alt. You know, you had

194
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: all these home games, and obviously they didn't win all

195
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: the home games that we would have liked to see.

196
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: You know, they end up dropping three or four, but

197
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: I think that's still in front of them. You do

198
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: have the Sunday night or at home. The Steelers are

199
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: dealing with some attrition and have not played really good

200
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: football despite spending a ton of money on their defense,

201
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: and it is not performed up to the level that

202
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: they're paying it. And then, like you said, you get

203
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: the Raiders, you get a buy and then I think, slowly,

204
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: gradually you get all these guys that are coming back.

205
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we already talked about it the day after,

206
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: but like the return of Jolt, we said it then

207
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again, it can't be overstated. Like

208
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: you see the impact that he has, and I thinks

209
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: as great as Kimani has been the idea of getting

210
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: a Mari and Hampton back behind, you know what now

211
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: is a quarterback who leads the league in passing, Who's

212
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: second in the league in completions, Who's second in the

213
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: league in touchdown passes? Like that's that's it's not just

214
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: complimentary football offense, defense, special teams. It's complementary offense. Like, Okay,

215
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: now Herbert's running the ball a lot like Herbert in

216
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: the last what three games, has got fourteen carries for

217
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: ninety five yards, averaging seven her Like, all of that's

218
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: going to come into play. And when I think about

219
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: the explosiveness that we saw from Amari and Hampton before

220
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: he went down and where he I mean, he was

221
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: one of the top backs in the league. He was humming,

222
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, Like the idea that that's going to be

223
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: coming back is incredibly exciting.

224
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: And I think with with Kimani, you know, we talked

225
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago about Okay, you're gonna look

226
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: for a running back on the open market. I think

227
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: Kimani has shown that he could be the RB two

228
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: on this team. He can compliment Amarion nicely. We you know,

229
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: we we were expecting Nase and Amarian to kind of

230
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: trade and fourth quarter kind of wear teams down. I

231
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: think Kimani has proven that he can be that kind

232
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: of one. A to Marion when a Marion does come back.

233
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the one I still envision them. I'm

234
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: sure Joe's making calls. Hortiz is making calls on backs

235
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: just because you know, right now you think like a

236
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: bigger back, Well, I just think you have Jared Patterson

237
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: kamani By Dell right now. That's those are your two

238
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: healthy running backs on this team.

239
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: So at Haskins her too, we should.

240
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: Make That's what I mean. Like, the idea to me

241
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: is running backs typically come very cheap at the trade deadline.

242
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: It's not up up. It's not a position where you're

243
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: paying a huge premium even when they're really good. When

244
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: you see backs move, it's usually for a Day three pick.

245
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: So to me, if there is a Tony Pollard, a

246
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: Bressee Hall, you know those sort of things, I would

247
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: assume they're going to go out and grab that just

248
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: to protect themselves. I mean, it's Tennessee right now, but

249
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: in a week, a week from Sunday, we're gonna be

250
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: talking about I Smith her big Watt, like you know

251
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: that defense is, you know, and then think about the

252
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: Philly defense that's coming down the Pike. You know, like

253
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: there are the Chiefs that you still have to play,

254
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos that you still have to play. To me,

255
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: it's almost it's almost a preventative measure. You know, they

256
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: don't want We know how much they love their draft picks,

257
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: and we know what they've been able to do with

258
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: seventh rounder Mickens, fifth rounder Tarheb cam and Iron Deez guess,

259
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: and they love their picks. But I do think there's

260
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: also something to be said that and look, it'll also

261
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: tell us what's going on with these injuries. You know,

262
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: they're very protective of their injury designations and who's what

263
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: how far along they are, So to me, it tells

264
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: you that maybe Amaran is a little further away from

265
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: coming back if they do go out and get someone.

266
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's sort of the beauty of the

267
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: trade deadline and being pushed back a little bit, where

268
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: you have these teams that are like, Okay, we're Tennessee,

269
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: what are we going to do with Tony Pollard? He

270
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: still got one more year on his deal. Where are

271
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: we at as a team, and you know, or we

272
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: fine with Taj and you can find backs late in

273
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: the draft and things like, like to me, those those

274
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: are the sort of things you can go take advantage of.

275
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: You know, Buddy, I think a game like Tennessee on Sunday.

276
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: Clearly they've been overmatched in most of their matchups. But

277
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: I think for the Chargers, like we saw a very

278
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: different team against Indianapolis than we saw when they played

279
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Viking. So I think this is a good

280
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: test to kind of see where where they are, you

281
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: know against Tennessee, Like, do they do they blow Tennessee out?

282
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: Does it get more competitive than it needs to be?

283
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 2: And I think you can kind of see kind of

284
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: where they are as a team over the next couple

285
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: of weeks and then maybe make some decisions as to

286
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: who you need to bring in and just kind of

287
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: where they are right now, because I do think it's

288
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: we just saw two different games, and I get it.

289
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: The Colts, I think are much more far along and

290
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: they're humming right now on offense. But you want to

291
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: see what's real, right and I think maybe Tennessee is

292
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: your first opportunity to kind of see it.

293
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kinda. I'll make the baseball analogy for the pitcher.

294
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, Okay, he's thrown eighty five pitches,

295
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: we're through, or he's thrown ninety five pitches, or in

296
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: the sixth inning? Do I want to send him out

297
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: for the seventh? Okay? Well what kind of pitches were they?

298
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: How stressful were the innings? Like? To me, it's it

299
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: was nice to have that Vikings game, to have a

300
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: second half where there's not a lot of stress, where

301
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: you can rotate more guys through, where Herbert can just

302
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: hand the ball off and he doesn't have to take

303
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: unneeded shots because you got to go win a game.

304
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: I think that's sort of what you're speaking to right, is, Hey,

305
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: here's an opportunity for you to maybe not have to

306
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: put Trey Pipkins back in or or And look, I

307
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: think Bobby Hart might have won that job, you know,

308
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: the way that the coaches are talking about him when

309
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: you look at when you go back and watch he's

310
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: played really well.

311
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: How about that story, man, I think it's incredible he

312
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: hadn't started a game in what twenty twenty one.

313
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: Not two thousand and one. Like I said, I'm the prior,

314
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: that would be something it would be.

315
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: But I mean that's remarkable.

316
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: I mean those are the types of stories that you

317
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: just you don't envision coming into a season, who knew

318
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: Bobby Heart was going to be on the team yet

319
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: alone maybe win the starting right tackle position.

320
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think and you know, in the case

321
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: of Trey who played some guard last year and Sawyer

322
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: who hasn't been healthy, Like, is that another position because

323
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: you can maybe go out and find a guard, you know,

324
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: with with Beckton having played what do I I have

325
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: it at here? Beckton has played fifty eight percent of

326
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: the snaps, Like, you've got to protect yourself.

327
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: He didn't practice Wednesday either.

328
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, So to me, that's like another position where you know,

329
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: we brought up Kevin Zeidler, right, somebody that we thought

330
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers might end up being.

331
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: You think it would be more of a veteran because

332
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: you know, we we spoke about a month ago saying,

333
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: you know, you typically don't want to give up an

334
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: offensive line.

335
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: Very hard to get during the trade deadline, but maybe

336
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: there's a there's.

337
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: A vemi he was not a one year deal. He's

338
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: thirty something years old. You know, he's he's he's in

339
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: his fourteenth season, so figure he's probably thirty five years old.

340
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: It's like he went from Baltimore to Detroit. You think

341
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: about where those two teams were last, you know, in

342
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: the last five years, and it's like, Hey, if you're

343
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: Kevin Seidler, do you go to the front office and say, look, man,

344
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: I signed here, I'm fine here, But man, if this

345
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: is my last go around or my second to last

346
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: go around, it sure would be nice to be playing

347
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: meaningful football in November and October instead of getting like,

348
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: I think that's what people I think that's what fans

349
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: maybe lose sight of is when you're talking about the trenches,

350
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: when you were talking about playing guard in the NFL,

351
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: these guys are getting there freaking heads caved in sixty

352
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: five times or you know, between forty and sixty times

353
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: a game. And if you're thirty five, you're married and

354
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of kids, and this is the

355
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: last girl, Like, do I want to do that for

356
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: a while? One in seventeen that's thirty second in offense

357
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: and has an interim head coach, and like, is that

358
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: what I really want to do for the next ten weeks?

359
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: And so I think that's where those conversations go. Like

360
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: just to like, when you say a veteran, I think

361
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: That's where that comes in. If you're a Wyatt teller,

362
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: if you're you know, if you're Kevin Zeidler, do you

363
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: go to the front off and say, hey, man, can

364
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: you come on? Can you do me a solid here?

365
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: Which is why I didn't understand why Tyler Lockett got

366
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: released and then went to the Raiders.

367
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

368
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: Right, Like, if you're Tyler Lockett, are you trying to

369
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: go to a contender, because it seems like you just

370
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: went to like a similar situation.

371
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: And now I understand that way, and that.

372
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: Could just maybe speak to you know, Pete helping him out,

373
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, as a former coach, as opposed to any

374
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: other team that was really interested in him, you know,

375
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: because he sat out there for a while, and you

376
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: know that he's he's an explosive receiver, you know, so,

377
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: and look, receiver is a tough position, man, it is

378
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: if you just historically historically, you know, if you look

379
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: at it historically, once you hit thirty, it is a

380
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: precipitous drop for nearly all of these guys because it

381
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: relies so much on explosiveness, and Tyler Lockett's most important

382
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: attribute was his explosiveness.

383
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,679

Speaker 2: estimate at splittero dot com. Slash Chargers. The NFC East

391
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: didn't do the Chargers any favors this weekend. Denver destroy

392
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, Kansas City destroyed the Commanders, especially in that

393
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: second half. You look at the AFC race right now,

394
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: and you know, I look at a team like Jacksonville,

395
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: who you play in a couple of weeks, that's gonna

396
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: be you know, wildcard implications, Pittsburgh wildcard implications because I'm

397
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: not convinced they win the division. Now, I think Baltimore's coming.

398
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild start their favorite. Yeah, that's how crazy

399
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: that is that they are favored to win the division

400
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: with two wins.

401
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt.

402
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: So, like you know, the Titans is an AFC game,

403
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: but you have Pittsburgh and Jacksonville back to back the Chiefs,

404
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: Like we could already start talking about this stuff because

405
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: of matters, like they play the Bills on Sunday, the

406
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: Broncos play the Texans, so like the Texas is trying

407
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: to get themselves back into it. So this is where

408
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: things get really really tight. And for being five and three,

409
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: those first three games of the season loom large right now.

410
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: I think, just speaking to this week, you know, one

411
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: of the things that this team was so good at

412
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: last year was they won every single game they were

413
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: supposed to win. And this year, I think you could

414
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: say it hasn't quite gone like that. You know what,

415
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: specifically when I think about New York and how that

416
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: New York team played versus how the Chargers played and

417
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the idea that you gave him two opera, you gave

418
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: them ten points, you know, on turnovers inside the five

419
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: yard line with a goal to go situation on two

420
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: interceptions and you end up losing twenty one to eighteen.

421
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: Like that just didn't happen last year. And that's like

422
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: such a big game that looms low and that's where

423
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: you have to now start circling. Okay, is it going

424
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: to be the Eagles, the Steelers. The textit like these

425
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: teams that were playoff teams last year that you got

426
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: to go out and get it one, if not two

427
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: of those wins. You know, so this week it's one

428
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: of those, Hey, this was your identity last year. That's

429
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: how you got to eleven wins. Is whatever backup quarterbacks.

430
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: Teams that are in the bottom five of whatever category, defense, offense, both,

431
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: they won all those games. And so to me back

432
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: to your point about the Vikings game following the Colts game, Look,

433
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: they delivered on what they promised during the week during

434
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: all their pressers that they were sick to their stomachs

435
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: that they couldn't believe what they put out there the

436
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: last few weeks, and they were going to make it

437
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: right and you were going to see it on Thursday night.

438
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: And we did. I mean, we saw a dominant defense

439
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: that reminded us of the twenty twenty four defense. We

440
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: saw a balanced offense, and we saw a team for

441
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: the first time since week I think it was Week seventeen, Yeah,

442
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: it was Week seventeen in New England put their foot

443
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: on a T team's throat and leave it there. You know.

444
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: When they knocked off New England last year forty to three.

445
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: This is what that's what that Minnesota game felt like.

446
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: And I hope that's what we see in Tennessee because

447
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: then you kind of craft this narrative and they can

448
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: say they don't hear anything in the media, but then

449
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: you have people nationally talking about, Okay, they're getting healthy

450
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: Joe Altz back. Herbert's playing the best quarterback of anybody

451
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: in the league right now, you know, And that's what

452
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: you can get going into that national all eyes on

453
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: you one game in the time slot contest against the Steelers.

454
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Offensively obviously, we talked about this last week.

455
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: A Rondy Gatzid. They've unlocked something with him at the

456
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: tight end position to have him in a pass catching

457
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: arsenal with lad Who's come on since that Miami game.

458
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: You know, Keenan didn't play as much but was very

459
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: effective when he did play. Quentin was not targeted, but Quentin,

460
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: we saw what he did the first four weeks of

461
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: the year. How would you assess the weapons that Justin

462
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: has right now and just kind.

463
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 3: Of how the offense has he evolved money from the

464
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: beginning of the year to where they are to currently.

465
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think it's what we said, you

466
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: know when but when we were going into the draft

467
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: and we talked about what a deep tight end class

468
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: it was, and we said, you know, could you see

469
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, if Trey Warren slides, if Colston Lovelin slides,

470
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, that's just a slam dunk pick at twenty one,

471
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: Like if he's that's what every mock draft had if

472
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: they lasted, they didn't. And then in the second round

473
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about Mason Taylor and Harold Fannin and Ferguson.

474
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: Like so we knew, we like I shouldn't say it

475
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: that way, everybody knew how much Herbert likes throwing to

476
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: a pass catching tight end. I mean we've seen it.

477
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: We've seen him elevate the game of guys that came

478
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: in on their one year deals year after year after year.

479
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: And so to to to get a Rondez and to

480
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: have that staff our front office here with the Chargers

481
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of envision what this became is incredible. You know,

482
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what number tight end he was taking,

483
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: it's double digits, but he he's playing better than Tyler

484
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: Warren right now over the last two three weeks. So

485
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: like that's how good.

486
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: And like the guy Cole said Lovelin that we talked about,

487
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like it's it's not even a conversation.

488
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, And Tyler Warren's the best tight end

489
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: in the league right now as a rookie. And and

490
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: like I think we talked about this going into the

491
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: Colts game, he's playing better than brock Bauer's played last year.

492
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: Like that's and that was the greatest rookie tight end

493
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: season we've ever seen, one of the greatest tight end

494
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: seasons we've ever seen. And that's how good he's been.

495
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: So to me, that's just going to continue. Herbert loves

496
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: throwing to those guys in that part of the field,

497
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: and he looks like someone that is going to be

498
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: a real issue to stop because how many resources can

499
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: you commit to him when you've got Lad McConkey out there,

500
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: when you've got Quinton Johnston out there. And like again

501
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: we say it, Quinton didn't get targeted. You know, if

502
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: they wanted to take him away, Okay, take him away.

503
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: We're good with Ladd and Trey Harris and Rondez and Kimani.

504
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 4: We're good.

505
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: So it's funny Jim said that they doubled the Rondez

506
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: on Ladd's touchdown, though, it's like given him the ultimate

507
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: respect as a rookie.

508
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: And now you're getting burned yea. And so that's what's great,

509
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: right again, that's the complimentary part of playing offense is

510
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: now you've got this tight end threat that when you

511
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: go into a game. I don't think it's any different

512
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: than going into a game with the Colts and it's

513
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Warrent going into a game with the Raiders, and

514
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: it's Brock Bowers going into a game with the Chiefs,

515
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: and it's Travis Kelce. I think after three weeks, I

516
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: don't know how you could argue it like that's what

517
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about with Rondez guest and hey man, this

518
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: guy is killing teams. We have got to figure out

519
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: how to slow him down. And that's how Lad gets

520
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: one hundred yard game with a touchdown.

521
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, this game, it's very straightforward, right, You're playing a

522
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: team that you should be you should beat up on

523
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: the road and get to six and three. Is there

524
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: anything else that we should be looking out for in

525
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: this matchup that you think Finnish should we should watch

526
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

527
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: To me, Like, the number one thing is Jeffrey Simmons

528
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: is going to play because if he plays along with

529
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: Devandre Sweat, you can wreck a game.

530
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: He is you know he wasn't Jeffrey Simmons first game

531
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: against the Chargers, yes, twenty nineteen.

532
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: And he wrecked them. Yeah, completely wrecked them. Yeah. That

533
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: was the Melvin Gordon seven hundred football fumbled. It was.

534
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: It was Ryan Tannehills first start, yes, and then.

535
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: They went to the play they pulled Mariota put in

536
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: TenneT right, I think it was. Yeah, they pulled Mariota

537
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: put in ten. Is that what it was?

538
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: I think both teams were like four and five at

539
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: that point, and then the Chargers went this way the Titan.

540
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: And they went that way. Yeah. That was. That was

541
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: that game. So here I am. Let's see receiving stats.

542
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: I want to see what we got yards over the

543
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Gadsden is the leader in receiving yards

544
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: by nearly a hundred, three hundred and Grandity at one

545
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty eight yard but three twenty eight. Next

546
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: in line is Craft at three forty four, then Kelsey,

547
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: then Warren and in receptions the last three weeks he's

548
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: first tied with Kyle Pitts in touchdowns, He's second to

549
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: McBride and Dallas Goddard. In first downs, he's second to

550
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, who at twelve Gadsden has eleven. Like, that's

551
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: how dominant he's been. And so that changes the calculus

552
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: of all these defenses of hey man, this is our

553
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: primary focus. He's the most effective of anybody catching passes

554
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: right now on that team. So but back to your point,

555
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I was pulling that up. I was waiting

556
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: for it to come up.

557
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 4: To me.

558
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: That's like, the one issue is the interior with with

559
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: backed In in his issues and with trying to figure

560
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: out who's gonna who you're going to put in there.

561
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: Simmons into Andre Sweat can get those quick pressures that can,

562
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, maybe put a hurt on Herbert, and that's

563
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: not what you want to see in a game like this.

564
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: You do not want him getting hit a bunch of times.

565
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: No, So well, we'll get to Kimanti Viadell.

566
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: Buddy a great conversation with a guy who a six

567
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: round pick last year, and we saw the flashes he

568
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: had the pedigree coming out of Troy, but to see

569
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: what he's done.

570
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: The last three weeks been pretty cool.

571
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: Indeed, you know he's one of our favorites. Great dude,

572
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: as big a part of this surge here these two

573

Speaker 2: Weekly and Cybody, I don't know if we just start

588
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: the last three weeks. What have the last three weeks

589
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: been like for you to know that you had to

590
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: step up at a role when you're thriving in it.

591
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 5: It's just it's felt good, honestly, you know, just being

592
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 5: able to step but for my teammates and contribute to

593
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 5: the team, and you know, to play good felt good.

594
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start earlier than that. I'm gonna go back

595
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: two years. You're drafted. We're talking on the podcast, and

596
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've had this conversation before. I

597
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: had it with your dad. We were talking about it

598
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: over the sideline. I took so much incoming for pronouncing

599
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 1: your name correctly. I specifically went into Detroy game notes.

600
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: I went back and listened to broadcasts of your games

601
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: to make sure is it Videll? Is it hilarious? And

602
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: so we finally I settlized, like, all right, it's Kimani Videll.

603
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: That's what it is. And man as he would tell you,

604
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: it's three weeks of taking incoming from the people like

605
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: that's that. There's no way vi id Al is not

606
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: pronounced by Dell. How often? Here's my question. I'm the

607
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: circuitout path to get to my question. How often do

608
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: people pronounce your name correctly? How often do you feel

609
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: like you have to correct them. Do you care? And

610
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: can you for once on the record just kind of

611
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: give it to us how you want us to pronounce

612
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: it during the games?

613
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 4: Is I'm most people say it all. I like, I don't.

614
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't put a lot into it just

615
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 5: because like I know, like that's how it's spelled, so

616
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 5: like I don't. But honestly, Kimani is probably the one

617
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 5: that people mess up most. But I mean instead yeah, yeah,

618
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 5: Cumani instead of Kimani.

619
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: Have you heard the Spanish radio guys say money videl

620
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: for men?

621
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I have. That was that was pretty cool.

622
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 4: What was that the Denver game last year?

623
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: Yes?

624
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was that was pretty cool. Yeah,

625
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 4: that was pretty cool.

626
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: Adrian's like the king of nicknames. He nailed it right

627
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: from the beginning.

628
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: You know, It's one thing to do what you did

629
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: in Miami, but to have that type of performance on

630
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: Thursday night football where you're like you're on the post

631
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: game show, you're signing the footballs.

632
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: What was that like for you?

633
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: It was cool?

634
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 5: I mean it was like, uh almost like a dream almost,

635
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 5: you know, I dream of those days and uh, you know,

636
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 5: I'm just happy and bless to you know, be in

637
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 5: that space.

638
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: You get more reps because of past protection. I mean,

639
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: we know how important that is. Here to coach Mac

640
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: and to coach Bischoff and coach Row kind of walk

641
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: us through last year versus this year and sort of

642
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: what you were doing to kind of work your way

643
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: up to that spot and what goes into it, Like

644
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: what are the challenges of becoming a good pass protection back.

645
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: It's a lot of challenges, honestly, and especially in the NFL.

646
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 5: You know, you have so many different exotic looks. I mean,

647
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 5: the Vikings they had an exotic stuff last week, and

648
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 5: just I think like it's just a time on task

649
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 5: kind of a thing, just you know, just building it

650
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 5: through the reps and being able to just go accustomed

651
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 5: to it and you know, seeing it multiple times, you know,

652
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 5: it takes the time to just kind of get like

653
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 5: used to that and just the speed of it. And

654
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 5: then obviously you know we have a great quarterback. You know,

655
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 5: they're trying to you know, fluster him and get get

656
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 5: to him. So yeah, I mean I've just I just

657
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 5: built through repetition and you know, just watching.

658
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: Film, how much of it is seeing it and like

659
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: just you know, it's if you can put it into

660
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: words for people that are watching and listening, because you

661
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: hear that make it sound like it's so easy, But

662
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: I would assume it's identifying. Is it pre snap identification?

663
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: Is it you know? Is it stunts? Like what is

664
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: it that's happening out there that that makes it a

665
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: challenge that reps and time on tasks kind of help.

666
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 5: With really and truly, like there's sometimes like in a

667
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 5: play where you'll they'll have like a certain amount of

668
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 5: guys up on the line, and there's an instance where

669
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 5: you can have like three different guys and you just

670
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 5: have to be really good with your eyes, with your feet,

671
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 5: and then obviously like they're dropping at the snap, so

672
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 5: it's happening fast and they're they're on the line of scrimmage,

673
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 5: so you know you're meeting them really halfway in the backfield,

674
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 5: so uh, just you know, just and then also like

675
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 5: you could just tell by like body language to just

676
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 5: picking up on the on film.

677
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: So really and truly, like it's.

678
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 5: It's very difficult, but you know, just growing accustomed to

679
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 5: it and just the time on task has just really

680
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 5: helped me.

681
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: You know.

682
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Keimodi, we come into this year, and you know Amarian

683
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: and Najiar here and.

684
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: Just the durability of those guys throughout the course of.

685
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: Their career to have both of them go down in

686
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: such a short period of time. And we talked about

687
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: this a couple of weeks ago, just the ability to

688
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: take advantage of your opportunity. I know you spoke to

689
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: me about it a couple of weeks ago, but I

690
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: don't know if you could just kind of illustrate just

691
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: what it takes we don't make the fifty three to

692
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: stay present at all times and then be prepared and

693
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: fully engaged to take advantage of that opportunity.

694
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I just try to use that time

695
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 5: when I was in a practice squad to the best

696
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 5: of my ability, just to you know, get better during

697
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 5: that time.

698
00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 4: You know, just.

699
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: You know you're not playing in the game, so use

700
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 5: that to your advantage. You know, you could train harder,

701
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 5: you know, watch more film. You know, you're not putting

702
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 5: as much like in your body wise to get prepared

703
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 5: for the game. So you know, I was kind of

704
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 5: able to just like almost like a mini off season,

705
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 5: you know, to kind of get prepared take us through.

706
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: I think you got shoved out left sideline too. Maybe

707
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: one almost got into the end zone. It looked like,

708
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: you know, Tucker's running in motion flips, looks like it's

709
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: a counter and you're supposed to maybe follow him and

710
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, maybe into a big gap ORCI is that right?

711
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: And then so you end up bouncing it. And I

712
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: can see on film when you watch back Tuckers almost

713
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: like where do you go? Yeah, kind of take us

714
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: through that play, what you saw, how often that happens,

715
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: and and sort of kind of what the conversation is

716
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: after that, because it was kind of funny. Everybody just

717
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: sort of followed and you just took this opportunity that

718
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: looked like it presented itself.

719
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they it was like it was supposed to.

720
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 5: I mean, you're right, it was to go back, but

721
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 5: they lost the edge on the left side.

722
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 4: So I just ran.

723
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 5: I really should have scored on that play. I'm honestly

724
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 5: kind of mad about that.

725
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: But well, how so, but you think you should have

726
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: watched just truck the dude.

727
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: I mean it was it was me one on one

728
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 4: with the corner.

729
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 5: You know, I should have I should have did something else,

730
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 5: But I mean it is what it is.

731
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 4: It's a learning experience.

732
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: So I mean you got nine yards out of it.

733
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

734
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you follow the way it was scripted, you may

735
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: get one.

736
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 5: So you can't get to Yeah, no, no, no, definitely not,

737
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 5: definitely not, but but yeah, I mean I just trusted

738
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 5: my eyes, trusting my feet, and it was just like

739
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 5: my body just went there and I just it's just

740
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 5: so happened to work out.

741
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: You might have.

742
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: The one thing I noticed throughout the course that game

743
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: is you got better as the game went on, Like

744
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: some of those really tough runts came third and fourth

745
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: quarter of that game.

746
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

747
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: Is that the type of backyard you feel like you

748
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: need to get the carries to, like to just kind

749
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: of feel it and get into the mode where you're

750
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: just you're at your best, like at the end of

751
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: the game.

752
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

753
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 5: I mean obviously, like there's nothing like you know, getting

754
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: the ball throughout the whole entire game and just like

755
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 5: almost like snowballing. But I mean, I just I try

756
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 5: to give it everything. I have, every every opportunity, every carry,

757
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 5: every reception. But I mean, yeah, I mean those guys

758
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 5: got worn down, you know, throughout the entire game, so just.

759
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 3: Take their will in the fourth quarter Yeah, yeah, exactly.

760
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: Especially in Miami, the edges were really working. Just kind

761
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: of take us through the run game, you know what,

762
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: Like I said, coach Bischoff and McDonald and coach Row

763
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: are doing and and sort of I don't want to

764
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: say it like it's it's working between attacks, but really

765
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: looks like you're thriving on the edges. Kind of what's

766
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: what do you feel is working? And why might that

767
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: be the case?

768
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 5: I mean, it just so happens that that's just been

769
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 5: the game plan in the past couple of weeks.

770
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 4: I mean I definitely hit.

771
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 5: I think I kind of hit a little bit more

772
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: like on the inside against the Vikings, But it was

773
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 5: just a game plan. We're just trying to execute it.

774
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: Is there one you like better than the other? Is

775
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: there what I should say? Let's even if you put out,

776
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, edges inside you know kind of it's been

777
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: sort of strange like this was a gap power team.

778
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: It just feels like concepts are shifting week to week.

779
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: Is there? Is that? Is that kind of accurate? Yeah?

780
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 5: I mean we're we'll do anything that it takes to

781
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 5: win the game. I mean that's that's even running the ball,

782
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 5: more passing, the ball more, whether we feel like gives

783
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 5: us an advantage in the game is what we're gonna do.

784
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: You take us through the just the four days between

785
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: Colts and Vikings, and just the importance to leave so

786
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 2: far Thursday night with a win, to get that mini

787
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: by and to get a little bit of rest. But

788
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: I have to imagine there was a little bit of

789
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: I don't I guess urgency is probably the best word

790
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: for it. To get that bad taste out of your

791
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 2: mouth from Indy.

792
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. I mean you kind of look I had

793
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: any kind of like, man.

794
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 5: We're kind of glad almost to have the shorter week

795
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 5: because it kind of you have to move on, you know.

796
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 5: So you know that's what we did, and you're just

797
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 5: trying to improve our bodies before that short week.

798
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: How big of a deal is the mini buy? I know,

799
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: I was looking it up. I think you've got fourth

800
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: most carrias the last three weeks. Uh fifty, I think

801
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: it's fifty one. Sounds about right. Does it help a lot?

802
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: Just those three days of having from Thursday off, I

803
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: know you're out there yet until Sunday. Does it feel

804
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: like a bigger deal?

805
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean.

806
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 5: My body feels good. You know, it's just trying to

807
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 5: get better. It's a long season, so we got a long, longer,

808
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 5: much longer way to go, but just trying to improve

809
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 5: every Weekbuddy.

810
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: How would you assist with this team is now, you

811
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: know five and three, a lot of adversity with injuries

812
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: and guys stepping up in what ways do you think

813
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 2: you know, those injuries in some of the guys who

814
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 2: are getting their first opportunity, how's that going to help

815
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 2: this team to the back half of the season.

816
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 5: I would say it just it just builds depth, you know,

817
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 5: having guys to come in and you know eventually when

818
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 5: those other guys start coming back, it just it gives

819
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 5: those guys some confidence, especially like later on the season

820
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 5: when you know sometimes when when guys aren't feeling too

821
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 5: good that you know you can have a good you know,

822
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 5: a good two to come in and put in some

823
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 5: good work.

824
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: Special teams. Just kind of how important that is. And

825
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: it's such a different looking group this year than it

826
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: was last year. Obviously, you know, the dynamic kickoff is

827
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: kind of all you've been part of since you've been

828
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But maybe share with us the challenges

829
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: of the dynamic kickoff and just kind of you know

830
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: what coach Vicken does with that unit. And it's such

831
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: a diverse group. Do you feel like we've kind of

832
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: figured out what the right personnel is yet for it?

833
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: Is it speed? Is it power? Is it a mixture?

834
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Is it corners? Is it

835
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: running backs? Is it d ns? Like what do you

836
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: guys kind of all talking about when it comes to

837
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: trying to find that perfect mix for each of those units.

838
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 5: I think it's I mean, we again, like we change

839
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 5: it week to week. Some teams do more speed, some

840
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 5: teams do more power. Some teams you know, try to

841
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 5: use the like the kicker almost like as an asset

842
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 5: with the you know, like kicking knuckleballs down the field

843
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 5: and springing around the field.

844
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 4: And I mean it's just I mean, it's week to week. Honestly,

845
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 4: it's a week to week league.

846
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it tough? Like is it because it looks

847
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, it just looks so different than what we're

848
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: used to.

849
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it almost feels like a like a drill you

850
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 5: would do and fall camp almost and especially like I remember,

851
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 5: like at the beginning of last year, a lot of

852
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 5: guys would like start to move when like the kicker

853
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 5: would kick the ball, and like it was just kind

854
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: of like an adjustment. But I mean them putting the

855
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 5: ball the forty now instead of the thirty five is

856
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 5: obviously has made more returns.

857
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: We said it at the end of the Vikings game

858
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: when he booted out of it back the NS for like, oh,

859
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: kick offf covers feeling real good right now? Yeah, I

860
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: appreciate that.

861
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: A lot of kicks this year you've entered you've entitored

862
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: fantasy football model, Like the last couple of weeks, what

863
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: are the dms looking like?

864
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 3: What are the the chirping from the from the stands

865
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 3: looking like?

866
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 5: The dams are absolutely crazy? Yeah, it's it's insane. Oh

867
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 5: give me twenty points. I appreciate you, man, you want

868
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 5: my fantasy this week? Like it's it's all bunch of

869
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 5: stuff like that, But I mean it's a it's been

870
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 5: pretty cool to have to have that kind of you know,

871
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 5: reaction to it. And uh, I mean yeah, I just

872
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 5: want to keep proving, keep showing, uh why people should

873
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 5: have me on their fantasy team.

874
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: It's what I mean, this is this is why you

875
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: do it, man, Like when you were drafted, I have

876
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 2: to imagine, like you knew that you were capable of

877
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: of this, but to get the opportunity. How much of

878
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: the NFL is just being able to seize the opportunity

879
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: when it's given to you, because sometimes people don't get

880
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: the opportunity.

881
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're right.

882
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 5: Sometimes guys just you know, don't get the opportunity, or

883
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 5: you know, injury happens, or you know, unfortunate situations happen.

884
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's unfortunate, it's you know, it just

885
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 5: shows you that luck is part of the game. But yeah,

886
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 5: you just gotta take more, just take advantage of your opportunities.

887
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, what we got in Tennessee. You have some big

888
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: freaking dudes in the middle of that line. I don't

889
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: know if they're all gonna play, But I mean between sweat,

890
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's clocking it at. I don't

891
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: believe what it's listed. It looks like three seventy five

892
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: around there. But with he and Simmons and just kind

893
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: of what you've seen so far and what you're going

894
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: up against on Sunday.

895
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, they have a lot of masks in

896
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 5: their in their front seven. You know, I don't want

897
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 5: to give too much away, but like you know, we're

898
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 5: trying to figure out how to you know, attack just

899
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 5: their defense, and it's exposing really.

900
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: When you've got like ten guys on the team that

901
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: played there, so of all the teams you'll face, you've

902
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: got the probably the best intel of any opponent, right.

903
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.

904
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, winning on the road, Like I just I go

905
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: back to the beginning of the season, from Brazil to

906
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 2: Vegas to New York to Miami, because have been like

907
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how manybody else at this point, but

908
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 2: just to get up to winning on the road.

909
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 3: What does a road wind do for a team?

910
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 5: It's just momentum. I mean it's not easy playing on

911
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 5: the road. I don't think any anybody really knows what

912
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 5: it's actually liked, you know, just to you know, get

913
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 5: on the flights and you know, do all this and

914
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 5: lay on the flight for four or five hours after

915
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 5: a after a a whole football game. I mean Brazil

916
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 5: was I mean that was crazy. Yeah, fourteen hours after again.

917
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 3: You'll never have that again.

918
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, you wake up, you go to sleep after the

919
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 5: game on the flight, you wake up, you're still on

920
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 5: the flight for another four hours.

921
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 4: It's just it's insane, but I mean it is what

922
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 4: it is.

923
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, Chris was just doing the math. He's like,

924
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: you got to sleep for ten hours. I'm like editing AUF.

925
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned last one for me, Kimani, I mentioned I

926
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: ran into your dad, had a great conversation with him

927
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,759
