00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: plus the guys share their observations two weeks into camp.

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: But first two huge pieces of the defense, quarterback Casey

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: Hayward and linebacker Denzel Perriman. We got some star power

8
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: on Chargers Weekly this week. Quarterback Casey Hayward joins me.

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: We've been waiting on Denzel Perriman for how long now? Man?

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Probably about a good twenty minutes, twenty minutes, twenty minutes.

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get Denzel at some point during this interview. Man,

12
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: But how are you doing? Man? We almost two weeks

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: into camp. Man doing it really well? Man, Feeling really good,

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: feeling healthy. I think UM as a team, you know,

15
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: we're trying to make a stride, you know, especially during camp,

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: to try to stay healthy and get to the season

17
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: as healthy as possible and as ready as possible. I

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: had to do a double take when I look at

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: the all pros in the secondary. You ap Durwin first

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: team All Pro in his second season. When you look

21
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: at that, that's wild. They have four All pros in

22
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: the secondary plus boasting Ingram upfront. Yeah, it's you know,

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: it's wild to you know, think about it. Um, you know,

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: but I think I think each and every year you

25
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of got a reset, you know, a reset each

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: and every year and try to get that, you know,

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: get better than you were to the year before. And

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: I feel like the guys that were All Pro to

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: last year, if they can get better and better and

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: better each and every year, why can't you do All

31
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Pro each and every year? Sure, you know, especially the

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: guys they're getting better. Plus you get a taste of

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: the case. You want to go back, right, you want

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: to be All Pro? Get Orlando? You want Miami this year? Exactly. Uh,

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: it's always good to be All Pro Pro Bowl. But

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: you also, you know, definitely, I think out of anything,

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: people want to play in that Super Bowl. You know,

38
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: we gotta taste of the playoffs last year. And you know,

39
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: we actually won a game in the playoffs last year,

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: so we got a little taste of it. And um,

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: I've played in the game that was just one game

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: away from the super Ball, so I know how good

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: you gotta be to even Yeah, who'd you guys play?

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: We play Seattle. We lost on the on side kick

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl, which is kind of crazy.

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Look who it is. Look who it is? Stay hydrated

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: by Freddy, Yeah, buddy, get on here. Denzel Perriman, Yeah,

48
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: what's up here? Chilling man? How are you doing good?

49
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: I did this on purpose. Stay hydrated. You gotta stay hydrated.

50
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: That's it. That's his favorite line. That's his favorite line.

51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: So if you watch our Instagram stories, you know that

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: every single day it training camp, Denzel Pyramid has got

53
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: a Gatorade cup. And how did that start? Man? I

54
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I just said one day, I'm trying to

55
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: get me a Gatorade endorsement. So I just I'm saying,

56
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: stay hydrated for like the longest case you were in

57
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: one of them. Yeah, yeah, I came back and I

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: try to rebuttle it, you know what I mean? Definitely anytime,

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: because his is really funny each and every day. So

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: it was one day I had my Gatorade out, like,

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: let me go on, let me try it. Just a

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Gatorade might come and try me too. We get of

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: us got electra lights, we got lightning bolts. It makes

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: too much sense, That's what I'm saying. That's a lot

65
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: of boats going on, a lot of boats going on

66
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: with the Gatorade cups, and this is a guy who

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: could be knocking down the door of a Pro Bowl

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: this year. What's a healthy Denzel Perami meaning this defense?

69
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: It means a lot. Uh, you go back and look

70
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: at it the last two years when we had him

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: in our defense and when we didn't, you know, you

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: could tell the run defense was so much different, and

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the numbers prove it, you know what I mean. So

74
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: a healthy, healthy DP definitely means a lot for our team,

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: especially to run defense and just in general. Once when

76
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: he's out there, you can feel the difference. You can

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: hear the pass thumping a little different, and guys gotta

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: run the ball a little different. People people be peeking,

79
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: peeking that where he is and when he when he

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: out there, you know what I mean? Now for especially

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: guys coming across the middle, that definitely helps me. Guy's

82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: gonna run slam the Hey, you gotta duck a little bit.

83
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: His presence helped the secondary further bolster and helped the secondary. Definitely,

84
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: he's a fourth special in the middle. Guys don't want

85
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: to see fifty two head the head. I think that's

86
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: what he thrives on. When we're in shells and stuff

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: like this, you know, and everybody kind of looked normal.

88
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: But when he put his pass on, I feel like

89
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: that's when he had sales. And every day when we

90
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: put pass on, he always say, oh today to day,

91
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: this this is what I'm here for. Yeah, I'm here

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: for paths. Yeah, gona be a lot, There's gonna be

93
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: a lot of yeah. Man, I mean, like he said, no,

94
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: the pickaback on what he said. Man, I feel I

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: can excel like in pads, you know, because everybody could

96
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: be an all start hamlets. You can fly around, you

97
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: can do this, you can do that. But like you know,

98
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: we played with pads on, so I like, I mean,

99
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: I love when we win for a pass. Well. It's

100
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: funny because we watch practices out here and you know,

101
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: you can comment on somebody gets an interception, somebody gets

102
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: a touchdown, somebody makes a play and athletic play. But

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: it's different when the pads are on and you're going

104
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: full speed on Sundays, explain that difference and just what

105
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: fans are watching here versus what they're actually gonna see

106
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: come Week one against the Colts. For me, I would say,

107
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: you know, a fan see you know, just hide NFL

108
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: guy's practice, you know the type of tempo you know,

109
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: and just you know the way that you know we

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: are like together. I mean, come game day, you know,

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: it's a whole different ball game, Like we don't have

112
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: to worry about I wouldn't say taking care of the

113
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: guy next to you. I mean, but you know, at

114
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, like we're all

115
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: out here, you know, compete and getting paid. You don't

116
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: want to hurt the guy next you know, across from you.

117
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know you want to

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: win your one to own battles. But I know, for me,

119
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: a game day, like all bets are off, so like

120
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: you ain't got a lightning bote onto your hammelet, like

121
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: you're in trouble. Yeah, I think it's the same when

122
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: we out here practice against each other, we try to

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: take care of each other, you know what I mean.

124
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: We're not trying to clean nobody up. It's a big

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: picture exactly. When the balls in the ass sometimes you

126
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: might be able to make a play, but you don't

127
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: want to brand the gout to the grind type things.

128
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: But in the game, all that, all that goals out

129
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: of the window and we out there to win. Don't matter.

130
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: We want to win. I'll match us and don't matter

131
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: who's across from us. We want to win. And I

132
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: think that's the mentality of this team. We want to

133
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: We want to get into the season healthy, but also

134
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: to be ready when we get into the season, and

135
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: it starts out here in practice. You gotta you gotta

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: come out here and get some real reps as well,

137
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I try to do

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: everything for it speed, you know, out here besides coming

139
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: to collision sometimes, you know, and I'm pretty sure DP

140
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: and the linebackers do the same thing. You gotta have

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: that mentality of them one of your matchups and going

142
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: out here and competing every day. You guys were both

143
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: here two years ago when Coach Lynn started as the

144
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: head coach. What's the biggest difference from twenty seventeen to now,

145
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: knowing the success that you've had of the last two seasons.

146
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: I'll probably will go with just experience. We got a

147
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: lot of guys that played a lot of ball, especially

148
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: on defense offense. We got a lot of experiencing. Like

149
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: you said, Coach n that was his first time being

150
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: a head coach. A lot of new for this team

151
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: at that right and look it's year three for him,

152
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Like he's a veteran doing it right now, a veteran

153
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: head coach. And like you said, it was definitely new

154
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: for us. It was our first year here, so everything

155
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: was kind of new, and we started off a little

156
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: slow and we picked it up and ever since then

157
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: we've been kind of going, you know, up and up.

158
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: So hopefully this year we can continue to do the

159
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, it's not just coach Lynn too, it's

160
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: the same coaches offensive, defensive coach. Just to have you know,

161
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: coach Smith and Gus and coach Lynn for the three

162
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: straight years you guys have had him. How does it

163
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: affect you, Denzel? I mean it kind of affected me

164
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, just because of you know,

165
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: the new system of new coaches. You know, just new everything, Man,

166
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: new environment, you know, new facility, you know, new stadium,

167
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: new everything. But uh we we, I mean we just

168
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: suggested Man, and you know, it wasn't a hard adjustment.

169
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: I would say, uh, defensively speaking, you know, it was

170
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: a lot easier. You know, we're able to you know,

171
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: not uh just be out there thinking though, just you know,

172
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: get the call line up and you're gonna just play fast.

173
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about Coach Gusts Defense and

174
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, just him in general. You know, he's always positive.

175
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: You know, every day he has a message for us,

176
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, and it always hits home, you know, and

177
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: in some type of way. And with Coach smith Man,

178
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: Coach smith is old school man. You know, he's one

179
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: of those coaches that you know, it's gonna push you,

180
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, to the best of your ability, and he's

181
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: just gonna coot you hard. I got a serious question

182
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: for both of you. How old is Thomas David serious?

183
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: Always thirty five? I think, yeah, about thirty five. I'm

184
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: being it doesn't look like it exactly. I think he's

185
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: like thirty five. So hi more was like twenty eight. Yeah, No,

186
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think like he's about twenty three.

187
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: I saw him running stride for strike with Cooper Cup.

188
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: He came wrong, he come wrong, he could flat out wrong.

189
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: What's he meant him to do? This early shure. You

190
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: can hop on that. I think he meant a lot. Uh,

191
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: a guy that's played a lot of ball. Then it's

192
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: his fifteen season. So anytime you get that kind of experience.

193
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: He's been the multiple Pro Bowls, played on really good defenses.

194
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: He played on the number one defense before. Uh. And

195
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, with that kind of experience to this team,

196
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, as long as he knows the playbook and

197
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: things like that, he's playing fast. And I just think

198
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: he gonna bring a lot of experience to us. And

199
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: he seems so much that you know, you can pick

200
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: his brain off different things. So I saw you guys

201
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: racing today to the ball at the end of practice.

202
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: That's everyday thing. Man. If he kepts you walking off

203
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: the field, walking, you know, to the huddle, he'll make

204
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: you go back to where you started walking from your

205
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: job back. I mean, you give me at least once,

206
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: maybe once or twice. It's not everybody, man like he

207
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: heles everybody you know to a certain standar man, and

208
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, like little things like that, you know, just

209
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: make us better as a team, you know, instead of

210
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, walking there, you know, why not you know,

211
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: just trot there? Yeah, you know, you guys went from

212
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: playing seven dbs in the playoffs to having a linebacking

213
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: corps right now with Kaiser coming back, yourself, Tavis, Thomas,

214
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: Drew tranquil Um. List goes on and on here. Coach

215
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Bradley was talking about just the physicality and the speed

216
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: this unit. How is this this unit different than last year?

217
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: I mean last year, you know we heard that position

218
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: bad man, and that you know, kind of explain why

219
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: we went to seventy bs. And you know now, you know,

220
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: having guys come back like myself, jb Uh, Kaizer and

221
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: then you know, adding guys like Drew Uh and Kyle,

222
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's gotten a lot better since you know,

223
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: last year as well. Um, there's just a lot of

224
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: competition in the room right now, man, and you know

225
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: we're all out there, you know, just feeding off each other,

226
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, learning from each other, you know, just trying

227
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: to get back as a group as a whole. How

228
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: does that secondary make you better? Then? So I'll start

229
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: with with Casey, Man. I mean, if I'm honestly, if

230
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: I see Casey, I mean, you know, I give him

231
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: a call. You know, we make our loot communications. But

232
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I know ain't got nothing to worry about

233
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: it over there, you know. And I know, you know,

234
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: like just like for instance last week, you know, we

235
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: had to you know, practice whatever and I dropped, you know,

236
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: directly perfectly into you know, the route that he had,

237
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: and you know, right afterwards, it was like, you know,

238
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: that's exactly what we need right there, perfect drop, perfect everything.

239
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, yeah, that's what it's about. I think

240
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: as a whole, you know, especially for my position, like

241
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: in our defense, sometimes the guys being in the right

242
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: spot just perfect for me. So you know, compliment those

243
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: guys when they yard like, hey, you're deaf from me,

244
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate it like things like that. And the same because

245
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: for me when they clean up a run for me,

246
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: and I don't have to go in there and clean

247
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: it up, and yes, yeah the same. I don't got

248
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: to go in there and thrash my body. But you

249
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: also have guys that can take the ball away like

250
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: this can be a scoring defense, right. I mean that's

251
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: another thing we ma'am always talk all the time, people

252
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: like yo, I want to work on my hands. I

253
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: want to work in my hand away. I gotta get

254
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: my i Q up this see me jump around, he'd

255
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: be like, hey, I gotta get my i Q up

256
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: and then when he did, when he does, you know,

257
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: you gotta recognize that and compliment. I don't know why

258
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: I remember this, but I don't think Marcus Mariota ever

259
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: threw a red zone interception. No, he didn't until. I mean,

260
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean I give my credit though the mail though,

261
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: because he did tip the pass. Yeah, you know it

262
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: fail those gotta get those. If Yelb's a good I

263
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: saw Kaiser made a nice snack to that he was

264
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: showing out. But I mean, Desmond's a ball hawk. You're

265
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: a ball hawk. I mean getting a zero and running

266
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: he did that at Delaware, um w a P. I mean,

267
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: this is a ton of guys rash Mike Mike Mikes

268
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: had the past couple of days, Trevor, Trevor has done

269
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: it in the game. So secondary, This just hell secondary,

270
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: And it's it's not even the joke. It's just like

271
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: name a guy, they've done it, and you guys can Actually,

272
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be there's gonna be weeks this year where

273
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: the offense may have a tough day, right and vice versa. Right,

274
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: you guys have to pick each other up. But you

275
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: guys are in a position to win a game for

276
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: this team if need be, from Week one to week

277
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: seventeen and beyond. Yeah, that's what it's about. You can

278
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: go to last year. I think we might have had

279
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: like eight games that came down to the last minute. Yeah,

280
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: and we got to make those plays. And I think

281
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: we would want all of them but one, and I

282
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: think that was the Denver game. Yeah, or two, I think,

283
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: so it could have been too, But you guys had

284
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: that in hand too. Yeah. Well, we got to figure

285
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: it out, you know. But in the NFL, the games

286
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: come down to close, narrow games, and we gotta find

287
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: a way to win, especially if we're up, especially we're

288
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: on defense, we figured out, and the offense we gotta

289
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: go down that score as well. Yeah, guys, get you

290

Speaker 1: give it to him. I mean they reached out to

Speaker 1: my marketing people's kay, yeah, yeah right, they reached out

307
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: to the marketing people. So man, I'm still gonna keep

Speaker 1: beat Daniel Popper, the athletic Daniel First. Welcome to La Man.

312
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: How are you thanks for having me. I'm excited to

313
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: be here. Uh doing well. It's been a little bit

314
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: of a whirlwind. Uh, moved across the country from Jacksonville

315
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: and trying to find a place to live and getting

316
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: used to the area. But it was just like week

317
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: three for you Week four, Yeah, I got here the

318
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: t like the day before report that so the twenty third,

319
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: So like, it's been about two weeks, moving all over

320
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: the place at an Airbnb stay, staying with a family

321
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: friend right now. So just trying to get it all organized.

322
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: But it's hard to get mad when you have this

323
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: weather every day. No, man, it's been it's been great.

324
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Team has had great weather during training camp. You're coming

325
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: from Jacksonville. First impressions of this Chargers team, a team

326
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: that won twelve games last year, a team with a

327
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: lot of the same players on the same coaches back

328
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: in nineteen. Yeah, there's a lot of talent out there.

329
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: There's a ton of talent um. You know, before I

330
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: was covering the Jags, I was covering the Jets, So

331
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I've never really had the opportunity to watch an elite

332
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: quarterback play in practice. So that's really the biggest thing

333
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: I've taken away from these first two weeks of training camp.

334
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: It's just getting to watch Philip Rivers function on the field.

335
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: Some of the throws he makes, and there's a throw

336
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: to Hunter Henry he made him that first week of

337
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: training camp where he just fit it right over jumping

338
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: defender's arm, perfect pass. I mean that I wasn't seeing

339
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: that stuff. No offense to Ryan Fitzpatrick or Blake Bortles

340
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: or Geno Smith or any of those guys. But you know,

341
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is just on a different level. So it's

342
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: been a blast to watch him play. And then just

343
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: on the deep not a talent they have on the

344
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: defensive side. I mean that front is enormous and extremely athletic,

345
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: between Bosa and Ingram, Justin Jones, Jerry Tillery's finally out

346
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: there doing team drillism and he's an imposing body upfront.

347
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: And then the secondary, I mean Derwin four all pros.

348
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: Right watching Derwin James play the guy, I didn't realize

349
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: he was that big. He is an enormous human being

350
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: and a tremendous athlete. And then the corners in the

351
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: outside Casey Hayward, Trevor Williams, Mike Davis, Desmond King on

352
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: the inside at Nicol, I mean, they just got athletic

353
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: bodies all over the field. The secondary is tremendous, so

354
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: definitely Philip Rivers. And then just the amount of talent

355
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: they had on defense. The fact that Derwin James is

356
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: twenty three years old. I think we forget how young

357
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: he is and just how good he can be. And

358
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: the first team All Pro his rookie season. I think

359
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: somebody told me he goes one of our PR people.

360
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: I have to double check this, but I think Lawrence

361
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: Taylor was the first player or the last player rather

362
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: to be first team All Pro is first two years

363
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: in the league. Derwin has a good shot at bit.

364
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I mean, you just don't see that happen,

365
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: especially at the safety position, where you just have to

366
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: be aware of so much that's happening on the field,

367
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: everything in front of you. How good he got as

368
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: quickly as he got, it just doesn't happen. I mean,

369
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: to be all of a sudden one of the best

370
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: defensive players in the league after four or five games,

371
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't happen. And that's the one thing

372
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: that I've come in here is like he has room

373
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: to grow. That's what everyone is saying here. That's what

374
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley saying, It's what Anthony Lennon saying, That's what

375
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Tom Talasco told us. You know, he's really good, He's

376
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: an All Pro safety, but he has so much room

377
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: to grow because he just doesn't have that much experience,

378
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: which is kind of hard to rack your brain fall,

379
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, like how much better can he really get?

380
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: Apparently much better, just said Casey Hayward. And Denzel Perryman

381
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: with us, and we talked about the secondary, the fact

382
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: that you have four all pros. They played with seven

383
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: dbats for a lot of the time in those two

384
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: playoff games against the Patriots and against the Ravens. When

385
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: you have Thomas Davis come in, when you have a

386
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: healthy Denzel Perryman, Jadavis Brown is back. He was hurt

387
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: last year. He didn't play in that Patriots game. Kaiser White,

388
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: Drew Shrank. Will this new linebacking corps. I think Gus

389
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier this week. Fast and Physical, Yeah, definitely.

390
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually working on a story on the linebacker group

391
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: that will be coming out next week. I've been doing

392
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: sort of these training camp battle stories, just focusing on

393
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: some of the biggest competitions that yeah, there you go,

394
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: the Athletic dot Com Slash Team slash Chargers. So I

395
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: wrote a free safety story ad a look at the

396
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: back end of the wide receiver depth chart, and then

397
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: linebackers are next up. Um. I mean, the one thing

398
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: that fans should understand is like they were playing with

399
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: seven defensive backs out of necessity. Like they didn't want

400
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: to be playing with seven defensive backs. They wanted linebackers

401
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: on the field, which is a big reason why they

402
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: went out and got a guy like Thomas Davis. Thinks

403
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: that got lost a little bit, yeacause of the success

404
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: they had against Baltimore. Right with that, right, they were

405
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: playing out a necessity, right, you want linebackers on the field.

406
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: That's why they went out and they signed Thomas Davis.

407
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: And the one thing that I've heard from all the

408
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: linebackers I talked to. I talked to Denzel Perryman, I

409
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: talked to Kaisier White. I talked to Richard Smith, the

410
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: linebackers coach today. The leadership he brings, he holds that

411
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: group accountable, all those young guys. Um. Denzel was time

412
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the other day that if any linebacker is walking when

413
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: they get off the field, Thomas Davis, we just talked

414
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: to Thomas Davis, makes them run back to the spot

415
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: and run back. I guess what, no one's walking on

416
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: the fiel anymore. And another story I guess Kaiser and

417
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis. They bet push ups. Kaiser o's Thomas Davis

418
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: a thousand push ups right now. So the guy just

419
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: holds people accountable. And on top of that, he's smart,

420
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: he understands, he's constantly teaching out there, his leadership, and

421
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: then just the level of players he's gonna raise, you know,

422
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: all those young guys. And I thought it was interesting today.

423
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: This is what I'm sort of gonna focus on. It

424
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: seems like they're gonna want Denzel Perriman at the mic,

425
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis on the outside at will, and then they're

426
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: actually playing Kaiser at Sam right now, which is pretty

427
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: interesting to me because typically in this defense and Todd

428
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: Washing and Jacksonville ran the same scheme, you want a

429
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: bigger guy at that Sam linebacker. But they like Kaisier

430
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: right now and they're really just trying to make him

431
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: as versatile as possible so he can basically play all

432
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: three all three linebacker spots. But it's a fascinating group,

433
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: for sure. It is. You go back to Thomas Davis

434
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: real quick, Casey said that he holds everybody accountable to

435
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: the defense, even Casey. Yeah, in terms of just fifteen

436
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: years many. Absolutely, so there's that, But let's not forget

437
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: that the guy's also a player. He's a playmaker. He's

438
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: got over a thousand he's like third among active players

439
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: and tackles in the NFL. I mean, the guy makes

440
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: plays and he's running like he's younger than he That's

441
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: the one thing. Every guy is like, he's fifteen years

442
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: in the league and he's running around like a rookie.

443
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, how is he doing that? But that's just

444
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, some guys are built different, man, Some guys

445
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: are built different. Tom's Davis is certainly one of them.

446
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: What are the guys we probably won't see on Thursday,

447
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: coach and said, is Philip Rivers And you know there's

448
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: gonna be we'll probably see the first team very sparingly. Yeah,

449
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: if it all depending on the position. But just going

450
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: into Thursday, what are you looking for against this Cliff Kingsbury,

451
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray led team. Yeah. I mean, that's honestly a

452
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: smart approach, not the play or first team. I mean,

453
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: at this point, you know you have a shot at

454
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. You know you have enough talent for

455
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. Get to Week one with as many

456
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: of your starters as you can. I'm totally with that.

457
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see sort of how some of these

458
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: rotations going offensive line, specifically, how much a Forrest lamp

459
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: are we gonna see it? Left guard? Is it gonna

460
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: be Trent Scott at left tackle and Sam Teviot right tackle?

461
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: Where's Dan Feenie playing? Is he gonna get some looks

462
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: at center? We're talking with the linebackers. I'm gonna be

463
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: focused big time on sort of where some of these

464
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: young guys are rotating in. Where's Drew Tranquil playing right?

465
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be at Mike? Is he gonna be

466
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: playing at the will? Where are we seeing him? I'm

467
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: interested to see the free safeties. Obviously we'll probably see

468
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: Rayshon Jenkins starting there. Is Jalen Watkins gonna get some time?

469
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm curious about that. He's obviously coming off the ACL

470
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: and set out a few practices, so we might not

471
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: see him. Um and then the corner battle is interesting

472
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: because Mike Davis has been getting a lot of the

473
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: first team reps, but Trevor Williams has been playing really

474
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: well as a couple of picks in camp. Um. Interesting

475
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: to see how those two guys play. The depth in

476
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: the secondary is something that's so intriguing because you can't

477
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: play all these guys, you know, you can't play Mike

478
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Mike Davis and Trevor Williams and Desmond King and Casey

479
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Hayward and Derwin James and Adrian phillips Um rogerck Teamer

480
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: another guy who had a good off season. H It's

481
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see who kind of rises up

482
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: and makes this football team. Yeah, and I know you

483
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: quote tweeted me the other day after Aaron Springs had

484
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: that he had like three packs. I mean he had

485
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: three picks and individual drills and was showing out. I mean,

486
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: they have it's deep. They got a lot of players there.

487
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting about this first week is

488
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna get a whole lot of the starters.

489
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get a lot of Casey Hayward. So

490
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: these young guys are gonna have an opportunities to go

491
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: out there and chow out. And you get the same

492
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: thing on the offensive side of the ball with the

493
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You know, not to plug my story again,

494
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: but I'm you know, writing about who's sort of gonna

495
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: fill the Tyrell Williams gap. You know who's gonna be

496
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: the guy that steps up in the fourth, fifth, even

497
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: the third wide? Is it Andre Patton? Is it R

498
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Tavis Scott? Is it Jeremy Davis. These are guys who

499
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: haven't had huge impacts, you know, practice squad for Ur

500
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: Tavis and and Andrey Patton and Jeremy Davis has been

501
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: more a special teamer. But there's an opportunity here for

502
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: those guys to go out and play. And you imagine

503
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: they're gonna get some time in this first week of preseason.

504
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: We'll see how they perform. But the dynamic in general

505
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: just made look different. When you have Hunter Henry coming back.

506
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: You know you didn't have Hunter last year. Tyrrell stretched

507
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: the field, Travis was hurt from majority of last year,

508
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: had a foot injury basically all year. Yeah, so it's

509
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: gonna be obviously, Mike's gonna get more reps. Keen is

510
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna be there, Travis, And then you talk about R.

511
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: Tavis Scott, you talk about Jeremy Davis, you talk about

512
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: Andre Patten. Those guys are going to have an opportunity.

513
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: And I think Wizzenhood talked about that earlier this week,

514
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: just how they separate in their routes. And it's one

515
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: thing to get corrected on the field after something, but

516
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: being on your own in a game, that's when you're

517
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: really going to separate yourself an effort to make this team. Yeah,

518
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: and that's basically what every coach has been saying. You know, yeah,

519
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: you can go out and show out in practice, even

520
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: in these joint practices, but like, what are you gonna

521
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: do when the lights come on? And what are you

522
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna do when the coaches have to be on the sideline.

523
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: They're not standing on the field with you to give

524
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: you direction. So I think the coaches are going to

525
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: take a lot out of this game because you're gonna

526
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: get a lot of reserves in there, and the bottom,

527
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, third the roster will probably start to take

528
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 1: shape after this first week. One of the things I think,

529
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: talking to especially the first team guys, these joint practices

530
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: are probably more beneficial to them than the preseason games.

531
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: I Philip talked about the Rams getting eighty passes in

532
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: just the good work that you can go against the team,

533
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: especially like the Rams get the NFC champs ten minutes

534
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: up the road, you got the other half of the

535
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game coming to Jack Hammett in a couple

536
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: of weeks. So the fact that you can get good

537
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: work in against teams like the Rams and the Saints

538
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: independent of these preseason games, I think the first teamers,

539
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: they probably get their best work here at training camp,

540
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: right exactly, So like the your starters probably appreciate the

541
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: joint practices a little bit more. But as Philip Rivers said,

542
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: he sort of walked back a little bit the guys

543
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: that are vying for roster spots. I mean, there's a

544
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: lot of guys around the league who have shown out

545
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: in a preseason game and turned it into a contract

546
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: and turned it and turned it into right. So, the

547
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: top half of the roster, it's probably gonna appreciate the

548
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: joint practices more because they're getting more reps. But the

549
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: bottom half of the roster and the guys that you

550
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: know are trying to make a name for themselves in

551
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, these preseason games give them an opportunity to

552
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: go out and make plays on the field during live action,

553
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: and that's very valuable. But the one thing I should

554
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: say is, I mean the Charge and Rams deserve a

555
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: lot of credit. I mean it was a professional two practices,

556
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: and you see around the league during these joint practices,

557
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: it's heated out there, especially if it's hot, get a

558
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: lot of fights, you know, injuries. You know, for the

559
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: most part, guys stayed healthy. You didn't see a lot

560
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 1: of you know, big hits or fights or anything like that.

561
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: So they just deserve a lot of credit for keepment

562
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: professional out there. And the fact that they headed so early,

563
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: like nobody else up until yesterday head joint practices, if

564
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. So the fact that you get two

565
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: joint practices in with a team that went to the

566
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year before your first preseason game, to

567
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: get that stuff on tape for the coaches, I think

568
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: that's some valuable. Yeah, it's tremendously valuable. And then you

569
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: got two more coming up with the Saints, so you're

570
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna get four jointing practices and talk about getting your

571
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: getting your starters in shape and ready for this season.

572
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: Like we were talking about, there's probably nothing more valuable

573
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: than the joint practices, especially for guy Philip Rivers. He's

574
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: talking about getting forty throws in a practice just doesn't

575
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: happen very often, so obviously you know there's a reason

576
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: he said that he gets more out of two joint

577
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: practices than ten preseason games combined. Well, Daniel, we're thrilled

Speaker 1: was like three o'clock on the one on one I

599

609
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: you know, coming in. And I like the fact that

610
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: the first preseason game is Thursday. Breaks up a little

611
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: bit of the monotony, if you will, and gives us

612
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: something to talk about. And man, what's not to be

613
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: excited about with this team, the way they finished, the

614
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: way they've got guys back healthy. You know, certainly the

615
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon and Russell Kung thing is our real issues

616
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: that could put a big sting in this season, but

617
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: that's still a ways away. There's a lot to be

618
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: excited about with this team. And you've been here from

619
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: the start, from twenty seventeen when coach Ling came in

620
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: and his first year. Just describe what you've seen, you know,

621
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: starting oh and four right right, building and getting out

622
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: of that hole nine and seven, twelve and four, you

623
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: win a playoff game last year, and a lot of

624
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: the same people here trying to get to a super Bowl.

625
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: And Chris, I'll even take it a half step back.

626
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: Before I came to Los Angeles, I spent years of

627
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: my life in San Diego, you know, covering the Chargers,

628
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: and you know, I go back to when Bobby Ross was,

629
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, the head coach, and Stan Humphreys was a quarterback,

630
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: so the complex was still the same. So when they

631
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: hired Anthony and you go down there, it was so

632
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: awkward to see, here's a team, here's a coach, here's

633
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: a media contingent, here's an enormous fan base, and they're

634
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: all going to be in our backyard. And then they

635
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: lose that first game, a close game in Denver, and

636
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: they start owing four and what I've admired and I

637
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: very blessed. I've been doing this crazy sports thing for

638
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: thirty two years, and Anthony Lynn stands out. He is

639
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: he's a he's a players, he's a genuine, great human being,

640
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: and you meet a lot of those people in covering sports,

641
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, high achievers. We just did a sit down

642
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: with him because this first preseason games on ABC seven.

643
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: And what fascinates me about Anthony is his background as

644
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: a man who was raised without a dad, and now

645
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: the Good Lord has put him in his position to

646
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: be a leader of men, and I find that fascinating

647
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: and was talking to him about that, and he credits

648
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: his mom, he credits his coach at Texas Tech. But

649
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's it's your own character.

650
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 1: And he is such a high character man that he

651
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: demands respect, but at the same time he's he's loose too,

652
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a tough combination. In the NFL.

653
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: I try to use this platform as much as possible

654
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: to sing his praises because, Okay, at the end of

655
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: the day, it's a results driven business, absolutely it is,

656
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: and that's what charges fans. They want wins, they want

657
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs. They want to go to

658
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, right, everybody wants that here. But what

659
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: he does and the kind of guy that he is,

660
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: how he's used his platform, you know, to get his

661
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: college degree and first year to go to Tanzania and

662
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: build a school unreal. Um, it's it's hard to put

663
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: into words. I mean, he is an aura about him.

664
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: He comes from the school of Parcels and Mike Shanahan

665
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: and Bill Walsh identified him as a coach Rex Ryan.

666
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: He's been through a lot of different regimes, but at

667
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: the same time, he's not one of those guys. He's him.

668
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: He's himself. He's authentic and I you can speak to

669
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: that better than any But I just talking to him.

670
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: You know. It's interesting you say that, Chris, because so

671
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm fifty five and when I was twenty one twenty two,

672
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: my first real exposure to this crazy thing called NFL football.

673
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: I was a senior in college and I was a

674
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: full time media intern for the Denver Broncos nineteen eighty five.

675
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: So like Elway's third year, Dan Reeves was the head coach,

676
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: and I would because I was full time, I would

677
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: listen to every single press conference and Dan Reeves. I

678
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: heard it a million times, him saying the little things

679
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: are the big things. The little things. It's such a

680
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: fine line between winning and losing. And then so you

681
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: have Dan Reeves, and you have Mike Shanahan, and then

682
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: you have coach and you'll always hear him say Anthony,

683
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: the little things are the big things. And it's like,

684
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,239
Speaker 1: it's eerie to me how the coaching tree. But to

685
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: your point, he is his own man, and he embraces

686
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: at and he's um. I jokingly I told him this.

687
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: The first time I met him. I was like, I

688
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: was scared to death of him. You know, It's like,

689
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: good God, look at this man. You know, says presence

690
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: about him, but he's a teddy bear and he's he's compassionate,

691
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: but stern, and I just think that is, you know,

692
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: the greatest coach ever in any sport, in my opinion,

693
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: is John Wooden. And John Wooden always talks about balance,

694
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's what Anthony Lynn has. I think

695
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: this organization is so blessed to have him, to have

696
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: his leadership, and I think the future is incredibly bright

697
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: with this organization with him. We talked about this the

698
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: going into training camp and just the things that you

699
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: can control, right, You can control preparation, you can control

700
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: when you come in, and you can control things on

701
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: the football field that it may not require talent, you know,

702
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: And just to your point about the little things, those

703
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: are the things the difference between winning and losing in

704
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: the National Football League, no question. And if you don't

705
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: have those habits, if the team doesn't buy into those habits,

706
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna lose more than you win. And I

707
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: think it's a testament to what's been going on here

708
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: and when you have a lot of the same guys

709
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: on the roster that hold each other accountable, that's the

710
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: one thing I noticed, Kurt, and you see it out

711
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: here obviously, but it goes back to minicamp. These guys

712
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: are coaching each other on the football field, and coach

713
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: embraces that he wants the veterans to hold the younger

714
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: guys accountable. He wants the veterans to hold the veterans accountable.

715
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: And that's certainly what you see out here each and

716
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: every day. And that's what they talked about going back

717
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: to OTAs, like you said, is they've created a culture.

718
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: The fact that they haven't had turnover, and the coaching staff.

719
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: They've got a rock solid coaching staff. And let's face it,

720
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: you know Philip Rivers as a future Hall of Famer

721
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: and when he's different out here, when you watch him play,

722
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. And I'll tell you you know, you know,

723
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 1: as a journalist, like for the people listening, a lot

724
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: of times fans will say to me, you know, ah,

725
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: you know about USC or UCLA, or you know the

726
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: Chargers or you know the lakers of the Clippers, And

727
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan journalism one o one. You know,

728
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: you separate yourself from that. So I grew up in

729
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: Denver and you know, Chargers were you know, public enemy

730
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: number twos, Broccos country, right, and so, but I'm twenty

731
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: five years removed from that. But Philip Rivers. I was like, really,

732
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, there is no bigger Philip Rivers fan than

733
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: the guy talking to you right now. He is. And

734
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: I tell my family this in Colorado and I'm like, listen,

735
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: the guy is so because for what we do, it's

736
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: not it's not about winning and losing. It's about their character,

737
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, And does anyone have better character than he does?

738
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: He's amazing and just his spirit and his love for football.

739
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: And he was going back to your point where you

740
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: just were talking about about the fine line between He'll

741
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: be the first guy to tell you that that And

742
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: that's the leadership that I think the Chargers are seeing

743
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: this year in particular. Hey, you know, you look at

744
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: Carolina a few years ago when they lost to the

745
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: Broncos in the Super Bowl. They weren't thirteen and three,

746
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: and next year they missed the playoffs. And it's guys

747
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: like Philip who are reminding him of that. And you know,

748
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: there is no they have to rebuild. They have to rebuild.

749
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: There's so much talent, but every they're not gonna sneak

750
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: up on anybody. And that didn't carry over, right, Wall

751
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: and four is not going to carry over to this year.

752
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: And Chris, look at Game one, Indie, Indie, Look how

753
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: well they finished last year. You know as Houston Week

754
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: three with Deshaun Watson and J J. Watt, I mean

755
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: a team that was in the playoffs, like exactly so.

756
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: And again you go to Detroit. You think Detroit's can

757
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: be a pushover a Week two right, right, I don't

758
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: care who you are, all thirty two teams can win

759
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: no question, no question, and this team can. And it

760
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: goes back to what you know, Dan Reeves, Mike Shanahan,

761
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, the little things, and that's what they're really doing,

762
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: is the little things. I feel like I've talked a

763
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: lot about Thomas Davis over the last couple of weeks,

764
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: a guy that wasn't here last year, but fifteen years

765
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: in the league and just the way he's helped people accountable,

766
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, top to bottom of the football team again,

767
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: another leader that just kind of adds to this nice

768
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: mix of young and veteran on this defense that could

769
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: probably win some games for this team on its own

770
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. You know, it's since it's a podcasting,

771
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: we have time, I'm gonna tell you my Thomas Davis story.

772
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: Lease he is to me, he is doctor Joe V. Hill.

773
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: So here's who doctor Joe V. Hill is. Anyone who's

774
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: listening to this who knows long distance running, Doctor Joe

775
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: Villy Hill was an Olympic distance coach and he started

776
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: at this really small college in the mountains of Colorado

777
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: called Adam State, and they won fourteen national championships in

778
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: fifteen years. And you know what his recruiting tool was

779
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: he would go to the state championship and get the

780
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: guys who finished second, third, fourth, fifth. He'd never go

781
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: after a kid who won a state championship. That's Thomas

782
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: Davis because when he came into that press conference, the

783
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: hunger he has of losing a Super Bowl is still

784
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: palatable to me. And we've also all been in places

785
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: where you get a second kind of boost in your

786
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: career or a move. You know, for me, it was

787
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: moving from San Diego to LA. You know, I'd been

788
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: doing it for fifteen years and man, now I'm in

789
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: LA and it's like a start over. The new energy

790
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: that's Thomas Davis to me. And the accountable, the pushups

791
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: and making guys run off the field. That's the stuff

792
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't show up in the box score, that shows

793
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: up Monday with a W. Well, how about the perseverance

794
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: to Kurt, I mean to have multiple ACL injuries and

795
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: to be the only defender from the two thousand and

796
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: five draft class that's still in the league, unreal only

797
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: defender and he himself and it's it's one of my

798
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: favorite parts of sport is the mental emotional He himself questioned,

799
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: if this is it, but it just goes to show

800
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: you as human beings, as the human race, the most

801
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: powerful thing, both positive and negative, is right between our ears.

802
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: How we think the mind and his mind is brilliant. Kurt,

803
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: what have you observed over the last couple of weeks

804
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of stood out to you that maybe a

805
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: little bit outside the norm of the d Philip Rivers

806
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: and the Keenan Allens and the like. The biggest thing

807
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: I would say is, I think they're pretty deep at linebacker.

808
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be pretty strong in that position.

809
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: And turned a weakness into a strange isn't that weird?

810
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: Two years ago it was their greatest weakness. And obviously,

811
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: and I don't mean to be cliche, but that is

812
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: going to be completely related to health. Can this team

813
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: stay healthy? And h that number ninety nine who changed

814
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 1: to ninety seven' Oh my gosh, he was great last

815
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: year and then he's he's talking about now he was

816
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: never even right when he got back. And then you

817
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: see him on like this morning. I was in the

818
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: deep corner of the practice field watching him like he

819
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a football coach and when

820
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: you watch like twelve guys hitting that dummy and how

821
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: much quicker, faster and he jumps out and these are

822
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: a mum, the elite, elite. I'm like, good lord, he's good. Well, Kurt,

823
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: you talk about the health in the cliche, it's just

824
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: so true though. I mean, there's no two ways around it.

825
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: If you had Joey Bosa at the beginning of last season,

826
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean versus when he came in, like I think

827
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: week nine, week ten, something something like that. I think nine. Yeah,

828
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: the way he plays it just I think it brings

829
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: an added dimension to this defense. On the other side

830
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: of Melvin Ingram to have a secondary that can take

831
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: the ball away with the ballhawks that they have, the

832
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: pass rush and the cover. They worked together, so you

833
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: have ninety seven fifty four and then the other ninety

834
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: nine Jerry Tillery, who were starting to see a little

835
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: bit more of now. Yeah, you know, it's interesting this

836
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: team went twelve and four and didn't win the division.

837
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: They tied for the division. But here's a crazy, you

838
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: know stat. Here we are in a twenty nineteen, the

839
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: last year of this decade, and in this decade, only

840
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: two teams in the FC West have won the division

841
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: in Chiefs and the Broncos. And the last team to

842
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: do that before was the Chargers in two thousand and nine.

843
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: So it's been ten years. How about that for a

844
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: stad Kurt, Right, isn't that crazy? Ten years? And they

845
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: were the last team in the previous decade. But in

846
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: this decade, if the Broncos or Chiefs and shocked me

847
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: if Denver would win the division. But if the Chiefs

848
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: won the division, that means in this decade only two

849
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: teams won the division. And Anthony Lynn will be the

850
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: first to point out, yeah, well he won a Super

851
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: Bowl with a team that was wild Cards, so it

852
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: can be done. Especially he had a Hall of Fame

853
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: quarterback and Alway, he's got a future Hall of Famer

854
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: in Rivers. But I do think you just look at

855
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: history and those teams that get that first win round

856
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: by and now you're one home win away from playing

857
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: for a chance to go to the Super Bowl invaluable.

858
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: It's invaluable. And this team was awesome on the road

859
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: last year, absolutely undefeated on a plane going into that

860
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: Patriots game, winning in Pittsburgh, winning in Kansas City, winning

861
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: in Seattle. How about that? Right? You know, you know,

862
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: even in a place like Cleveland, like Buffalo. You go

863
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: to these places on the East coast. It's hard to

864
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: go west to east to win a football, no question. So.

865
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: But at the same time, how about having a first

866
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: round by in a home game? That would That would

867
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: be nice. And I think all these guys would tell

868
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: you if they had a first round by a home game,

869
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: they probably take you know what, And Chris, I'm a

870
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: storyteller and I want that story. I want a home

871
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: playoff game in the last year of the soccer state. Yeah,

872
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: you know I mean, And I'll tell you, and I'm

873
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: starting to see it now, especially as I'm on San

874
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: Diego radio now and then because of my time down there.

875
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Charger fans, forgiveness just takes a while.

876
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: And when they won that first BLAFF game against Baltimore,

877
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: I think Charger fans are starting to migrate up north.

878
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: And when they get into that new stadium next year,

879
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: if they can keep winning this year, it's just great.

880
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: It's great for all of Southern California. It's been all

881
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,120
