1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Late fifteen to ten touched up.

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: What's up?

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Guys, Welcome into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly,

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 3: as always, joined by the voice of the Chargers Matt

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: Muddy Smith. We're getting you sip for a preseason game

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: number two, Bolts taking on the Rams at SOFI Stadium.

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: We will rewind though first and before I get into

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: the game, I could just say this with complete confidence,

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: Matt Muddy Smith and Daniel Jeremiah in mid season form

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: You're broadcast with Dan Fouts was awesome. It was a

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: joy to listen to all three hours. The game was

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 3: not very pretty. You guys made it a lot of fun.

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 3: How was it working with Dan?

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: I used the best. I appreciate it, Chris, thank you.

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 4: It's a tough dance because it's a simulcast, so we

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 4: can't forget our radio listeners, which is why maybe those

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: of you watching on TV or saying, yeah, I know

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: there's three receivers. Yes, I'm well aware of where the

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 4: ball is. Yes I know, and I'm sorry, but can't

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 4: you know, leave the folks over there at alt ninety

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: eight point seven out in the cold not understand the

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 4: geography of some plays, So try to throw a few

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 4: nuggets their way as well, but in the meantime just

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: tried to stay out of the way because Dan and

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: DJ are so good and obviously, as two former quarterbacks,

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 4: a lot to break down because of the quarterback play,

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: and I think you could hear in their description as

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: the game went on and the failure to even gain

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 4: a first down and missing open throws and what these

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 4: preseason games and practices in training camp are supposed to do,

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: and that's help evaluate who the fifty three guys are

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 4: that are going to make your roster. And boy, if

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 4: you're coaching offense and you're trying to figure out who's

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: who and what's what on that side of the ball,

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: it's pretty hard to come out of that game and

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: feel like you've got an honest evaluation of really anybody

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: except for, you know, maybe the offensive lineman that I

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: thought did a pretty darn good job of blocking that

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: thing up, especially Joe Alt, you know, really did a

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: darn good job out there in his first NFL action.

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: That was the theme, and I think the takeaway from

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: fans was it's hard to evaluate the offense without Justin

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: Herbert in there, and b who's going to be the

44
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: backup quarterback on this team, knowing that Justin, you know,

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: in a boot and the hopes he's going to get

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: that boot off soon ramp up to play Week one,

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: but let's just say, God forbid, he's not ready. Who's

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: going to roll out there if Justin Herbert's not healthy?

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: And I think that it leads to a lot of

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: questions entering this RAMS game. Luis Perez came in, you know,

51
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: he's been with the organization for a few days. I

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: thought he quited himself pretty nicely. At the end of

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: the game. I think after like five or six plays

54
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: he was the leading passer. So it'll be interesting to

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: see as we take this. We don't know who's going

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: to start the game, if it's going to be Easton

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: or Luis. But the quarterback play just has to be

58
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: better because to your point, Money, you can't properly evaluate

59
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: the wide receivers. There's so many wide receivers on this

60
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: team that were not here last year. It's hard to

61
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 3: get a gauge on all, right, are they getting open too?

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: You know?

63
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: And that's the thing to like, it's everybody, And I

64
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: think DJ made a good point about Easton wasn't even

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: throwing the ball down the field. I don't know if

66
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: those were called two three and outs to start the game.

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: Then he gets pinned back at his own one to

68
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: go ninety nine yards, and you know, you put yourself

69
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: in some tough positions. But overall, I agree with you.

70
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: We could talk about the defense. I thought the defense

71
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: did some really nice things. I thought special teams did

72
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: some really nice things. But offensively, man was it was

73
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: a tough watch because, hey, you're not really game planning.

74
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a vanilla game plan anyway, but you

75
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: do want to see what you got on the outside

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: and who you have in the backfield, and they just

77
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: weren't really able to do that against the Seahawks.

78
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Moody, Yeah, I'll start.

79
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: I'll just kind of there's a lot to jump off

80
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: of there, so I'll start with quarterbacks. Justin's gonna be fine,

81
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: because if he wasn't, this isn't what would be watching.

82
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: If he wasn't going to be fine, they'd have made

83
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: a trade by now, They would have made a difference

84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: signing by now that would have happened to me. Signals,

85
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: especially bringing in Luis Perez, who you know has been

86
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: on a couple NFL rosters.

87
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: We talked about it last week.

88
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: He's been the ultimate quadruple a to use the baseball

89
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: analogy quarterback, where he's lit up the spring leagues and

90
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: one MVPs and led those leagues in passing, but just

91
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 4: can't quite make it happen in the NFL. And to me,

92
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 4: that's more about practice, finding a guy that can accurately

93
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: throw the ball so we can run practice and we

94
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: can evaluate these players. It's not so much about making

95
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: Louis Perez the backup in games. So on the Herbert front,

96
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: I would I would be absolutely Look, anything's possible. I

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: would be floored if he's not ready to go week

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 4: one because if he wasn't there, that's this isn't what

99
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: we'd be watching. There would have been a trade by

100
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: now for one of these number threes on a team

101
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: for a sixth round pick or something along those lines.

102
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: Are assigning, So he'll be fine as far as like evaluating, Yeah,

103
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: that's that's the big concern, you know, is it's clear

104
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: to me, at least just based on what we've seen

105
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: in training camp and in that game, Jared Patterson's the

106
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 4: number three back. He's he's going to go into the

107
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: season as the number three back. He's making this roster,

108
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: and he will if either JK or Gus have to

109
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: come off at any point, he will spell them. And

110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: that's the thing to remember for the Chargers, right is

111
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 4: they don't have a one and someone's fighting to be

112
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 4: the two. They've got two ones. So that's where it's

113
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 4: less important about that three because how often do you

114
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: really see the third running back? You know, just kind

115
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: of think back it was Austin Eckler and Joshua Kelly,

116
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 4: I mean, that's what it was, and then every now

117
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: and then if one of them would get hurt, that's

118
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 4: when we would see Elijah Dotson or something along those lines.

119
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 4: So the third back isn't a let alone. The fourth back,

120
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 4: which is now what we're talking about, is Okay, who's

121
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: going to make this team and who's not. Is it

122
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: your fourth round pick from two years ago or three

123
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 4: years ago, or is it your sixth round pick from

124
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: this year. One of those two guys is not. I

125
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: would be they're not carrying five backs. One of those

126
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 4: two is not going to make the roster. And Isaiah

127
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: has been playing a lot of special teams. So that's

128
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: where it becomes interesting, is you know, do they feel

129
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: like if they put Kamani Videll on the practice squad

130
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 4: will he will he clear or will someone claim him

131
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 4: because they had a high grade on him in the

132
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: draft and would have drafted him in the sixth round

133
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 4: or something to make him their third perhaps competing for

134
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: their second back. So that's that's something that I'm anxious

135
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: to see because he was finally practicing this week and i'd,

136
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 4: you know, to see him in the game to get

137
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: some game reps and see if they can get this

138
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 4: thing working and able to open up so we can

139
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: actually grade the run game and we can try to

140
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 4: get an idea of what makes more sense at that position.

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: It's a great point. Petersen had some nice runs in

142
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: that game. Videll, Spiller and Dots and that kind of

143
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: three headed attack vying for that that fourth running back.

144
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: Will say, you know, the practice squad.

145
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: It's a great point to money like will would Videl

146
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 3: or Spiller clear waivers and make it to the practice squad.

147
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: And that's just something that it's it's it feels like

148
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: a big deal now, but it's like you said, it's

149
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: not that big of a deal when you have JK

150
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: and Gus Patterson.

151
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: I agree with you.

152
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: I think he's kind of locked into that third running

153
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: back role right now. So what I love about what

154
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: Harball and Ortiz did this week was they made a

155
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: lot of moves. You know, you bring in Shaq Quarterman,

156
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: Praise old Toke is waived, Ben Mason is waived.

157
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: So the competition.

158
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: I think that they are trying to keep that theme

159
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: of competition going throughout all three weeks of preseason as

160
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: we as we get into the regular season. What do

161
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: you make of the moves that they made this week.

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 3: I think in an effort to kind of keep everybody

163
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: on their toes as well.

164
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got two linebackers. You mentioned Shack they also

165
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: brought back after cutting him last week for Luis Perez.

166
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: Savyon Jackson is back. And then they bring in a

167
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: wide receiver, Isaiah Wooden, who Daniel Popper told me when

168
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 4: we were at practice on Wednesday had set the record

169
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: for the fastest ten split in the history of the combine,

170
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: faster than Xavier Worthies. So that's an interesting one. Then

171
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: you have Tucker Fisk, and to me, like the Tucker

172
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 4: Fisk signing is is super interesting. So they cut Ben

173
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: Mason fullback tight end, they bring in Tucker Fisk, And

174
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: to me, that signals, hey, we're we're not sure obviously

175
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: about Luke Benson or Zach Hines, but are we completely

176
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: sure about Donald Parham. Are you know that's there? To me,

177
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 4: that set that shows that they're still a value. I

178
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: feel like I feel like Greg Roman has said enough

179
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: really good things about Stone smart about his development and

180
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: how late he was starting at this position, and it's

181
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: you know, you kind of hear the way he talks

182
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: about Stone and how he has really grown into a

183
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: tight end after being a quarterback and making that shift

184
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 4: and being able to catch the ball. But now how

185
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: well he's picking up what they want from him, that

186
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: they can make him an adequate blocker, they can work

187
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: on that, that he's a good enough receiver and a

188
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: great athlete, and where we feel like he's coming along

189
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: with what we need. And I think you saw it

190
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: in that game. Well I don't think I know you

191
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: saw it in that game. Like Donald Param's first snap

192
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 4: was when they were backed up to the two and

193
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: he got beat like that immediately, and that's what blew

194
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: that play up. And thank goodness, Isaiah was able to

195
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: get out of the end zone and not get tackled

196
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 4: for his safety. But that was Parham's guy, and that's

197
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: always been the issue. Is he's six foot nine.

198
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: You know.

199
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: That's why people were raving about Joe Waltz so much,

200
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: because when you get men that are that big, it's

201
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 4: very hard to get low and block. It's just and

202
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: that's what makes all such an incredible prospect because you

203
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: have all the mass, all the length, but he's also

204
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: able to get low and lock in and anchor and

205
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: so par him it's it's he's six ' nine man.

206
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: That's a tough, tough task for a guy that's five

207
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 4: inches taller than your average tight end to be blocking

208
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: defensive ends. And so that's that's sort of what the

209
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: Tucker Fisk signing shows me, is who's that fourth tight end?

210
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 4: Are they going to carry a fourth tight end? Will

211
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: it be just three? Will it be just Stone Smart

212
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: along with Hayden Hurst and and Will Disley, Because that's

213
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 4: an important position.

214
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: These are these guys.

215
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: They're gonna run out a sixth offensive lineman. They're gonna

216
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: run out three tight ends. They're gonna have a tight

217
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 4: end with full back flexibility.

218
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: And Fisk fits that mold.

219
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 4: When you look at him outside of Zion Johnson, he's

220
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: probably got the biggest calves on the team. I mean,

221
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 4: he's a he's just a hulking figure. And it's like, yeah,

222
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 4: he's he's not here to catch passes. He's here to

223
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 4: be that tight end that's gonna be block and do

224
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 4: what is required of tight ends in this offense.

225
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, parum his ability as a receiver, is that going

226
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: to be enough to make the team, Because clearly, when

227
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: you bring in a Hearson disleygue, we know what that is,

228
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: we know what that looks like. Parham has had such

229
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: great chemistry, especially in the red zone with Justin over

230
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: the last couple of years too, So does that help

231
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 3: him another position? I want to ask you about too money.

232
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: I'm real quick, Chris, I do want to add it

233
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: practice Wednesday, like, and this goes back to your point

234
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: about the quarterbacks and evaluation. Like Parham you just said it.

235
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 4: He's a red zone He's a red zone guy catches touchdowns.

236
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: When you break down number of catches per touchdown, it's crazy,

237
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: It's like that's the best in the history of the NFL.

238
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: So he's in the end zone. He's got Hankins who's

239
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: playing safety in front of him, and he's got him

240
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 4: by ten inches. I think Hankins is like five to

241
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 4: ten or he's got eleven inches. And what does Stick

242
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: do throws a ball right to Hankins. It's like, dude,

243
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: guy six's nine when he lifts his hands up talking

244
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: about eleven feet. Put the ball up there. So Parham

245
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: can show you, hey, here's my value. Yes, I struggle

246
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: the block, but we get in the red zone. You

247
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 4: throw the ball where only I can get it. And

248
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna beating Dorito's off this guy's head because that's

249
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: what I do. And you can't get that evaluation because

250
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 4: it was it was a poorly executed play, even though

251
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 4: Parham had the one on one that you wanted to see.

252
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 3: We all remember that bullet that that Parham caught from

253
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: justin in Minnesota last year. I think that was that's like,

254
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: that's the that's the play that I showed a Greg

255
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: rom and say, listen, this is what I can do

256
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: in this offense.

257
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: I can catch the ball in the red zone justin

258
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: behind me. So that's interesting.

259
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: Man, Like what they do at tight end if they're

260
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: pushing Parham to you know, obviously they want to push

261
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: them to improve as a blocker, but obviously his bread

262
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: and butter is red zone target the center position. I

263
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: wanted to ask you that Bradley Boseman has in practice

264
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: for I think over a week now. Brendon Heim has

265
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 3: had some tough moments against Byron Murphy, who's a beast.

266
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: I mean, like we knew that Byron Murphy coming into

267
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: the draft was going to be a problem, and he's

268
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: he kind of showed it on Saturday against the Chargers.

269
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: What do you make of the offensive line, especially that

270
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: first that first series with Himus's center, you Pipkin's at

271
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: right guard, obviously a brand new position. You guys, I

272
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: thought laid out perfectly what you saw from old DJ

273
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: Lady and said, hey, as good as can be expected

274
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: in his first start. But that that first unit, especially

275
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: the interior, what did you guys see?

276
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: It's hard to figure out because it's you know, they

277
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: they expect to have Bozeman back, and I think it's

278
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 4: going to be totally different. But I think Jimus can.

279
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: I think he showed us that he's all right. He's

280
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: going to be all right. You know, I don't know,

281
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 4: I don't know if to make Fadden thing, you know,

282
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 4: I know they wanted to try to get him into

283
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: that into that center role as opposed to a guard

284
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 4: just because of his length or lack thereof. So you know,

285
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 4: and that goes. Remember as we now get closer and

286
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: closer and we're in preseason games and the one cut down,

287
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: Like that's how this whole thing fits together. Like if

288
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 4: you're like, well, why wouldn't they just carry five tight ends? Okay,

289
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 4: well then they're only carrying three backs, or they're only

290
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 4: carrying five wide receivers, you're going to carry nine olignment.

291
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: That's just that. That's the reality of it. And then

292
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: when you get through those five starters, and now you

293
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: get to that next level, you've got Jamari Sawyer, You've

294
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: got Foster Surrel because you want that length at tackle.

295
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: You've got Brenan Himis because of this essentially your backup

296
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: center right now. And you've got Jordan mcfatten Like that's

297
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: that's your O line, you know. So even when you

298
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: see Brent Lang out there, Bucky Williams or some of

299
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: these other players that you know, Carson Barnhart that we

300
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: talk about, Like I feel like the old line is

301
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: what it is, like, that's that's who's going to make

302
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 4: this team. Those are your nine that you're going to

303
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: end up carrying. So that's you know, remember it's that

304
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: when you're trying to figure out who's going to make

305
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 4: the team, when you add a name, you must remove

306
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: a name. And that's that's sort of where you I

307
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: think people that watch and we appreciate all of you

308
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: and listen on the pod, and you know, that's where

309
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: your head needs to get. Remember to get to that

310
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: number fifty three. You're talking about two quarterbacks, four running backs,

311
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 4: four tight ends I think probably maybe four, maybe three,

312
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, six receivers because Brennan Rice is making

313
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 4: this team and nine alignment like that's that's it. So

314
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: who do you plug into those spots? And that's what's

315
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 4: that's what makes this interesting when you know, you get

316
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: out to these games and a lot of these dudes

317
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 4: that are fighting for that depth piece, you know, are

318
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: are putting this on tape, you know, even to make

319
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: the practice squad to be one of those when is

320
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: it sixteen guys? Now eighteen guys? What do they put

321
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: on the practice squad? I remember it changed in COVID.

322
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, and they kept it. I think it's

323
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: eighteen sixteen. H check that may it be twenty five

324
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: and let them all get paid fifty three.

325
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: The preseason two guys is you know, we look silly

326
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: in hindsight breaking down the preseason. It's really more about

327
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: the guys who we think are gonna play during the season.

328
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: Those are the guys that you're going to really focus

329
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: on and have eyes on, which is at wide receiver.

330
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: You know lat mccaukeey didn't play last week. The hope

331
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: is he plays this week. DJ Shark. We saw out there, Quinton,

332
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: we saw out there Brendan Rice. Problem is we didn't

333
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: see them really catch the ball because there was not

334
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: even a third down conversion until late in the second quarter.

335
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: So Sammi Fojoko is the only guy that had a

336
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: real wildcatch, right, you know. That's all I know.

337
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: So it's so difficult to evaluate those wide receivers. That's

338
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: something I do want to see on Saturday, even if

339
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: it's just like getting Quitting something quick, getting lad something

340
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: quick and letting them make a play, getting Brendan something quick,

341
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: calling some shots down the field and letting these guys

342
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: make some plays because say what, Sam Howe look pretty good,

343
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: you know as a number two, and PJ.

344
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: Walker looked pretty good as a three.

345
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 3: In terms of moving the football, That's the one thing

346
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: I do want to see is just the ability to

347
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 3: move the football, having a backup quarterback that can move

348
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 3: the football. And again I preface it by saying it's

349
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: preseason and the calls are just gonna be different. It's

350
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: gonna be a much more of vanilla, and you don't

351
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: want to take too much stock into it. But at

352
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 3: the same time, you're looking at the entire picture of

353
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: the team and what they have behind Justine.

354
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: I think that's important.

355
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 4: I know it may sound weird for the people that

356
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 4: are consuming this right now because of who's on the

357
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 4: team and how much discussion has been around it, but

358
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 4: I'll say this, and if you have access to it,

359
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 4: I know the NFL makes it available. I can't remember

360
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 4: what the name of the product is right now. I

361
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 4: did when they had me in their employee and I

362
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: used to sell it for them, but I won't push

363
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: it for free now. But it's it's you have access

364
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: to the film and so you don't need to see

365
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: the catch part of it. You can still evaluate the

366
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 4: wide receivers on their routes run. So even though there weren't,

367
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 4: the big problem was just the lack of plays. It

368
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: wasn't necessarily that, oh I can't even see him complete

369
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 4: the catch. It's like, well, it's just that there were

370
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: three plays and one of them is a run play.

371
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: And now I've only got two routes on this series

372
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: and this next this next drive, I've only got one

373
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 4: route in this in this series that I can evaluate.

374
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 4: Did he get off press, did he get in and

375
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 4: out of his breaks? How smooth is he did he

376
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 4: did his defender bite is did he create separation? So

377
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 4: when you go back and watch the film, that's you know,

378
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: that's what Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh and Sanjay lowl

379
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: and and all these guys are going to be evaluating too.

380
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: So even though that's really it wasn't necessarily that it

381
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 4: look it is, Yes, like I said, we know the

382
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: team and we know about how important is to catch

383
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 4: the ball. But I think that was the big problem

384
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 4: is you just could not There's just not enough routes

385
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 4: run to be able to get a read on you know,

386
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 4: are these guys creating separation?

387
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: Though they where they're supposed to be. Are they on

388
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: time and all that sort of stuff.

389
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Yea.

390
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 3: The volume of plays just was not there. The time

391
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: possession was forty minutes to twenty minutes in this game.

392
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: And that's a good segue into the defense. I thought

393
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: that they they did pretty good for being on the

394
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: field as long as they were. We saw some flashes

395
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: from a lot of different players. Morris Brash. You mentioned

396
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: last week Money and I thought he was he was

397
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: pretty good in the game. There was one play from

398
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 3: Tully and one play from Bud. I didn't need to

399
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: see anything else to know that those guys could be

400
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: a starter on twenty five other teams in the league.

401
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: And just to see the flashes at the beginning of

402
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: the game from this defense and them just kind of

403
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 3: moving around, it just looked different. It looked like, it

404
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: looked great. It looked different, right like the Ravens defense

405
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: from last year.

406
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was fun to watch, and I I think

407
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 4: even you know, for people that might focus on, well

408
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 4: they converted a third and seventeen and a third and twenty,

409
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 4: I get it. But the difference from the last few

410
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: years to this year is that was just poor coverage.

411
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: It wasn't a busted coverage. That was just a man

412
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 4: not executing what he was supposed to do. He was

413
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: in position, just couldn't quite execute it. Like before, we

414
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: would see third and twenty one and here's a guy

415
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 4: wide open in the middle of the field and you're like, oh,

416
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 4: here's an over route and Aloe is somehow being tasked

417
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 4: even though he's guarding this quarter of the field, He's

418
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 4: got to come to the center of the field and

419
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 4: there's nobody there. It was things like that that.

420
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: Would really drive you crazy.

421
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: Even with those long third down conversions, you could see

422
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: everyone was in the right place and everything is even

423
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 4: on those plays everything, And that's what it felt. It

424
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: felt like you were watching, Okay, this defense is connected.

425
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: The guys are, the corners are where they're supposed to be,

426
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: the safeties are where they're spposed to be, the linebackers

427
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 4: are where this. Oh look at this, here's a pressure

428
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: from depth. Now that these guys are dropping out and

429
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: these guys are rushing in, there's an open lane to

430
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 4: the quarterback and oh, look they overloaded this side and

431
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: then he dropped out and here comes the nickel from

432
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: the other side. Yes, this is fun, and the guys

433
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 4: are executing and everyone's where they're supposed to be. They're comfortable,

434
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: they know what the call is, they know what their

435
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 4: assignment is and they're there. And so don't because of

436
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: your scar tissue. Don't freak out too much over those

437
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 4: third and longs that were converted on those drives. I

438
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 4: think even with those plays, you can kind of still see, okay,

439
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 4: we're good and so and look the starters. You know,

440
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: they were playing guys that are regulars for a little bit.

441
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: See I don't really play their regulars for a while.

442
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: They let those guys run for a bit, which is understandable.

443
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: It's a new defense and it's Mike McDonald's defense, and

444
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 4: he wants to make sure they got it down, so

445
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 4: why not, But yeah, you hit it. Tully had a

446
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: great game, but had a great game even though it

447
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: was like eight nine snaps. Same with a low eas

448
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 4: We need to see Deyon had a nice big thump

449
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: in there before he went off. And then you talk

450
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 4: about the backups, and to me, that's where that's where

451
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 4: the coaching and the scheme.

452
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: Comes into play.

453
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 4: Was that second half when you've got guys, when you

454
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 4: have Nicknamon flying all over the place and making plays

455
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: all over the place. When you have Shane Lee on

456
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 4: that goal line stand with the perfect run fit exactly

457
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: where he needed to be to make that stop on

458
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 4: fourth and goal from the one, Like, that's the stuff

459
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: that gets you excited that, Okay, this is now even up.

460
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 4: We've got all these backups in and it's my scheme

461
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: even though it's still kind of vanilla and you're not

462
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 4: doing a lot, but it's still are my guys on

463
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: the right place to make the plays? And that was

464
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: something I came out of there saying, oh wow, that

465
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 4: was that was really fun to watch where these guys

466
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 4: were able to deploy what Jesse Minter asked them to

467
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: and do it at a very high level, especially, like

468
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 4: you said, being on the field twice as long as

469
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 4: they should have.

470
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: Been fast and physical, and your three best players on

471
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: defense weren't even out there, No Derwin, no Joey, no

472
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 3: Khalil like, so imagine those guys being put into this

473
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 3: defense week one against the Raiders. Just the strength of

474
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: this team, We've said it every week is just is

475
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: this pass rush, man, It's it's gonna be so fascinating

476
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: to see how Jesse Minner deploys these guys, because it's

477
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 3: it's gonna be darnia impossible to keep Tooley off the field.

478
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: Money like, you're gonna see a lot of I think

479
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 3: Tully with Joey and Khalil and then mixing button keeping

480
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 3: these guys fresh.

481
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

482
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: One of the things that we've seen all training, Kip.

483
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: They're getting their hands on the football like they're hipping balls,

484
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: and it's it's perfect Joey. Joey a couple of years ago,

485
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 3: he was getting his hands on every football right. The

486
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 3: fact that they have guys all across the line that

487
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: can do that and and someone who is is opportunistic

488
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: is Darwin back there. Henley's an athlete Colson. Hopefully we

489
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 3: see Colson's first taste of NFL action this weekend and

490
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: as he kind of rams up to play. I just

491
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if we are maybe underestimating what the

492
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: defense could do this year. We talked about Justin and

493
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: what they want to do offensively, running the ball time

494
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 3: of possession, Like I think this Jesse Mintor scheme in

495
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: this defense can get a lot of three anounces this year,

496
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: get the ball back to the defense and really played

497
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 3: that complimentary football that we didn't really see last year.

498
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think I'll start with somewhat have been negative.

499
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: I guess is it's hard to evaluate because Justin's not

500
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 4: out there, you know, so it's hard to evaluate how

501
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 4: good this defense looks in training camp and they look

502
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 4: it's a good point at the offense.

503
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: So it's like, all right, as we saw it against

504
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: the Rams.

505
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: And that I think the question there is like, Okay,

506
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 4: were they just playing with their hair on fire? And

507
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: the Rams were like, well, hey, wait, this is a

508
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: joint practice and we're just kind of cruising and you

509
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: guys are freaking out, man, And I think there was

510
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: a little bit of that.

511
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: So I think that's but here's what I'll tell you.

512
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: Like the you mentioned the tips, think about how many

513
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 4: times in the past we've been like, dude, get your

514
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: hands up, and they just it was something that this

515
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 4: defense did not do the last few years.

516
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: Man.

517
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: This was a tip drill on Saturday against the Seahawks.

518
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 4: Tarheb's still and it's you can tell that it's coached

519
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: into him because he's bringing pressure from depth and these

520
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: slot corners are blitzing and knowing they can't get there.

521
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 4: It's just instinctual, it's muscle memory. And that was you know,

522
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 4: I think he might have had it on back to

523
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: back plays. There was like two in the span of

524
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 4: three plays where tarheb got his hands on two balls

525
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 4: and popped them up in the air. And when you

526
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 4: go through the box score, you've got seven passes defense,

527
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 4: you got seven tackles for loss, and it's all over

528
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 4: you know, tackles for loss. It's linebackers Nick Neeman, Shane Lee,

529
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: Troy Die, and then it's defensive backs, Thomas Harper, it's

530
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 4: d Lineman, Michael Mason, Ty Shelby, Tito had one. Like

531
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 4: it's every level and that's to me, that's what then

532
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: explains the box score explains what jesse Minter is doing.

533
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 4: You don't know where it's coming from. There's defensive backs,

534
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 4: there's linebackers, and there's linemen, and they all fit into

535
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: the passes defense, and they fit into the and they

536
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 4: fit into the tackles for loss because the pressure is

537
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 4: coming from so many different places. And that's that's the idea,

538
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 4: is just make the quarterback uncomfortable, does not know what

539
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: he's looking at, doesn't know where it's coming from. And

540
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 4: that's certainly something that we saw on display on Saturday.

541
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: You know, last week we did a couple of players

542
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 3: to watch and you mentioned Traymon Morris Brash, so did

543
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: Jaliel In the pregame he said that's the guy to

544
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: watch today. So both you guys mentioned that and he

545
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: bawled out it's a Shane.

546
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: Chris Ruff is hurt. Looks like it's a foot injury,

547
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: and we don't know start.

548
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 3: Probably yeah, but we always say it this time of year,

549
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: there's going to be a guy who we don't talk

550
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 3: about it all during the off season and maybe the

551
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 3: beginning of training camp that that starts to shine. And

552
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 3: Morris Bresh has shined not only in practice, but like that,

553
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: that taste of what we saw against Seattle just another

554
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: depth piece to you know, it was already an embarrassment

555
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 3: of Riches. I think at edge rusher, he's got a

556
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: really good chance to be that fifth rusher behind uh Morgan.

557
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: Fox or he's making it. Yeah, yeah, he'll make it. It

558
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 4: was basically I think between him and Rump, and that

559
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 4: was going to be the tough decision was Chris Rump's

560
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 4: a great special teams player, but I felt like Morris

561
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 4: Brash had outplayed him as a defensive lineman. And that's

562
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: when you get in that uncomfortable debate when you're building

563
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 4: the roster because you've got Jesse Minner and Coach Elston

564
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: and these guys that are coaching up the D line

565
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 4: and the defense that are like, no, we like we

566
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 4: want we want this guy. And then you got Ryan

567
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 4: Ficken like, well, no, he's a court he's court four guy.

568
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 4: He's one of our best special teams. I need him.

569
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: And then you're like, well, we're not going to use

570
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 4: him on defense, and he's like, well, you know, giving

571
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 4: something up on Morris Brash on special teams and it's like, okay,

572
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: well what are the percentages here of So that's those

573
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 4: are the debates you get in. And now, sadly I

574
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 4: feel bad for Chris makes it easy because he's going

575
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 4: to probably start the season on ir and and Morris

576
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: Brash is going to make and man, he had he

577
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: had the play of the day at practice on Wednesday,

578
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: had a spin move in one on ones and man,

579
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: he came off that spin and Coach Harbaugh was playing quarterback.

580
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 4: He was the guy standing back there and it was

581
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: one on ones, you know, inside and outside, and you've

582
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 4: got so just imagine you have offensive linemen, you know,

583
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: you've got like three of them lined up, you know, center, guard, tackle,

584
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 4: and either you'll have a defensive tackle going up against

585
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: the center and guard, or you'll have an edge going

586
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: up against the tackle. And on this play, I think

587
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 4: it was it might have been I don't remember who

588
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 4: he was going up against, but and you know what,

589
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: we'll protect the innocent, so though they weren't innocent in this,

590
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 4: and he just set him up outside, spun inside, and

591
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: he exploded so quickly and was in the backfield so

592
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 4: quickly it took Hardball by surprise. And he was like

593
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 4: who whoa, whoa, whoa, because you could see he was

594
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 4: he was right on him, and it's like, dude, don't

595
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 4: hit me. You're in full pads and you are flying

596
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 4: your head. Coach, I'm someone who experienced it. Ackbar did

597
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 4: that to me on Fantasy Live where he just kind

598
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: of was playing around and exploded around the corner and

599
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 4: then forgot where he was freaking launched me twenty feet.

600
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: I was like, that's wrong with you. That's trying to

601
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 4: kill me. Knocked the glasses off my head.

602
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: And never I could have. I could have.

603
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: They immediate well, Hr called me and they were like,

604
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 4: are you okay? Is everything all right? And I wish

605
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: I would have thought about it, you know, instead of

606
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: being the of course, I'm fine. I don't give it, damn,

607
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: you know, I said, to be honest, it's good that

608
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 4: I was reading prompter and had no idea he was

609
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 4: coming to me because my body was just all limber

610
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 4: and so it just my pencil neck just snapped it.

611
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: I just went fly and didn't grace for it and

612
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: break anything forward knock out man exactly. But that's that's

613
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 4: what uh, that's what it reminded me of because you

614
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 4: could just see how quickly he got on him and

615
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 4: that explosion and and coach Arbab being like, just hold

616
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 4: on to it. But everybody was like, and that's what

617
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: we've heard about Morris Brash is that the players are

618
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 4: the ones that are going to coach mintor you know,

619
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 4: Khalil Matt going to him saying, hey man, this dude

620
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: can play. This guy can play like they want him

621
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 4: in the room. And that's and again it's the fifth

622
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: it's the fifth Rusher. It's the fifth edge, So keep

623
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 4: it all in perspective. But the guy's out for a game,

624
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: he becomes the fourth rusher, and now he's in that rotation,

625
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: and now he is tu Lee or Bud or Joey

626
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 4: or Khalil, you know, And that's where it becomes important

627
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: because not all Hey, I hope all four guys make

628
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: seventeen games. I hope so, but historically speaking, that's not likely.

629
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 4: So that's where it comes into play. And that's where

630
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 4: you get excited about someone with that kind of talent.

631
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: And imagine how much better he's gonna get in that

632
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: room because you know, Joey, Khalil Tully are all different

633
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: types of rushers. Bud like the think about what Morris

634
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: Brash is now with you know, very little NFL coaching

635
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: and having a complete season in that room and a

636
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: Jesse Minter scheme with Joey and Khalil and Tully as

637
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: your mentors, like, like, what he's going to be in

638
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 3: this league and what his potential is. So I'm excited

639
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,959
Speaker 3: to see what he does the defensive line. Tito a Bonia,

640
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: I know you talked about him on the broadcast. Scott

641
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 3: matt Lock, pune Ford did anything stand out to you

642
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: in the interior.

643
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 4: No, No, I mean, look, I thought the run fits

644
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: were great, and I thought they to me, there's there's

645
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 4: a competition still going on where they're trying to look

646
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: there's there's three guys that appear to be locked in there.

647
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 4: It's Tito Morgan, Fox and pun A Ford, and I

648
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 4: think behind that they're trying to sort through that. And

649
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 4: that's where the other question comes up. Are they're going

650
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 4: to carry six? You know, because behind those three, you've

651
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 4: got Scott Matt Locke, you've got Chris Hinton, you just

652
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 4: drafted a boybe so do they I think they keep six?

653
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 4: Is kind of what my vision is is you've got

654
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: five edge six d lineman and I think I but

655
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 4: like that's and they brought in you know, I saw

656
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: in Pro Football Talk that tier Tart was coming in

657
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 4: for a visit, and I think that also speaks to

658
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 4: the need for maybe a little bit more of a nose,

659
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 4: you know, because beyond Poona, you know, hinting, I guess

660
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 4: he's six y four though, So like it's are they

661
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: looking for that true nose, which is what tier Tart is,

662
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 4: and whether or not he takes away one of those

663
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 4: spots from one of those guys.

664
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: We talked about Nieman, big game from him. I think

665
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: he's working through something right now.

666
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: I think he was.

667
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: I think he left practice this week. So Troy Die

668
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: Troy Game two, Colson Lee, you know, you know Denzel

669
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: didn't play bring So bringing in Corterman I thought was

670
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: interesting because you know, on on a surface level, as

671
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: somebody who just is watching the games, you look like

672
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: I thought a lot of those linebackers played pretty well.

673
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: What do you think the Quarterman signing was in.

674
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: Relation to just I'm thinking special teams?

675
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: Special teams?

676
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 4: I'm thinking like, is they try to figure out what

677
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 4: this special teams looks like? Is it more linebackers, less

678
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 4: defensive backs? Remember last you know under Brandon Staley was

679
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 4: all defensive backs. You know, they carried eight, So it

680
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 4: was because of special team. So it's like, okay, does

681
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 4: that calculus now shift? Are we carrying less corners and

682
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 4: taking on more linebackers? You know with the savvy on Jackson,

683
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 4: with the shack qrtermans, they're trying to figure out and

684
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: because that's what they think makes more sense on special teams,

685
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: it's a little more the linebacker than the pure athlete

686
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: speed component that corners bring. So that's sort of that's

687
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 4: my initial reaction to it that both those guys came

688
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 4: in in the last couple of days, Jackson and Quarterman.

689
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 4: But because Colson's back, Oh man, there were just a

690
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 4: couple of plays, yeah on Wednesday. But yeah, those couple

691
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 4: plays get you really excited, and you think about the

692
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 4: next five ten years with Junior Colson and Dan Henley

693
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 4: and you're like, man, these guys are going to wreck

694
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 4: shop and he's he's I've said this repeatedly. I'm sure

695
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 4: people that watch or listen and in multiple places will

696
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 4: be like, all right, dude, I get it. But when

697
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 4: I think of you know how you felt when you

698
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 4: saw Kenneth Murray step off the bus and you were like,

699
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 4: oh wow, I don't want to get hit by that.

700
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 4: That's Junior Colson. He's he's that type of body. When

701
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 4: you see him out there moving around, you're like, that

702
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 4: guy's that big and he's moving that fast. Holy heck.

703
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 4: So that gets you excited. I hope he plays. I

704
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 4: really want to see him get after because he had

705
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 4: a couple splashes on Wednesday that just kind of made

706
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 4: you jolt a little bit and you're like, Okay, all right,

707
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: that's who Junior Colson is. Good to see him out there.

708
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. You know, Colson also just

709
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 3: knows the scheme, you know, as opposed to Kenneth Murray.

710
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: Kenneth Murray was learning a new defense under I think

711
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 3: it was Gus and then under Staley, like Juniors comes in.

712
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 3: He knows this scheme, he knows what to expect. He

713
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: just hasn't been on the field and Saturday could be

714
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: his first taste of real NFL action.

715
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: So I'm excited about that.

716
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 3: Finally, Money, I want to talk to you about special teams,

717
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 3: this new kickoff rule right off the bat Jalen Gill

718
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: with a forty six yr return. You've talked about the

719
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 3: fact that, especially the first quarter of the season, this

720
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: is going to be a special teams play that could

721
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 3: decide games. And I don't know, after seeing it in

722
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 3: a game for the first time, how do you think

723
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: the Chargers did with the new kickoff rule and how

724
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: do you think it could impact this team, you know,

725
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 3: especially early in the season.

726
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 4: Well, I just look at it as the whole right,

727
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 4: there's three phases to the game of football, and people

728
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: will always forget about special teams. We don't because of

729
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 4: what we've lived through the last seven years in special teams,

730
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 4: not only in kicking and the seven or eight kickers

731
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 4: that they went through and losing games, like literally losing

732
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 4: games at zero's because of missed field goals or in

733
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 4: the final minute with miss field goals, losing games because

734
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 4: of punt returns when Drew Kazer would out kick his

735
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 4: coverage every time he put the ball in the air,

736
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 4: and watch these guys with these massive runways break off

737
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 4: giant fifty and sixty and touchdown running punt returns. The

738
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 4: fact that they I would put the Chargers kicker, punt,

739
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 4: long snapper, their specialist room up against any team in

740
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 4: the league. I don't think any team in the league

741
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 4: has got a better specialists room when you take all

742
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 4: three of those, knowing how important the long snapper is

743
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: to the operation and making sure that that thing is

744
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 4: perfect so that part of it doesn't go awry and

745
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: that's why you have a missed kick or that's you know,

746
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 4: remember that was something that was said. It's like, oh, yeah,

747
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 4: the holder, and again you can figure out who that

748
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 4: was for a couple of years. But the kickers would

749
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: be like the holder driving me crazy, Like that's.

750
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: That's the great thing. JK is the holder.

751
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 4: Dicker is the kicker with that fifty eight yard er,

752
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 4: with that beautiful draw that would have been good from

753
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: probably sixty five. To have that settled, I think just

754
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: as a whole. And then when you combine it with

755
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 4: one of the best special teams coaches in the league,

756
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 4: that to me is a big, big strength of this team.

757
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 4: So if you can get if that defense is what

758
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 4: we think it is, and I don't know if it is,

759
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 4: I don't wish. I wish I could say it with

760
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: confidence because I am excited about it and what we've

761
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 4: seen so far in training, came up in joint practice

762
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 4: and in the game, if it's what we think it is,

763
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 4: Because I just think about what this team could have

764
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 4: been with just an average defense the previous three years,

765
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 4: not a great defense, just a league average ranked fifteenth

766
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 4: through nineteenth team's ten eleven, twelve win team at least

767
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 4: one playoff win every year. Is what this team is

768
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 4: if they had that on defense and they just didn't.

769
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 4: So to pair that with Justin Herbert is darn exciting.

770
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 4: Those two faces, and we just I don't say all

771
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 4: three because I just don't know. I have no idea

772
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 4: what this offense is because of the injury and how

773
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 4: it's looked with the backups.

774
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the formula seems to be in place with the offense.

775
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 3: That's the only reason I have a little pause about, Okay,

776
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 3: what's the backup quarterback position going to be? Like, not

777
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: because I don't believe Justin's not going to be ready.

778
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: It's just if something were to happen. You know, Justin

779
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: had the finger injury last year. If something were to happen,

780
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 3: somebody needs to come in and you have to have

781
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: confidence that they could win you two games in a

782
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: in a four week stretch, that they can keep you afloat.

783
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: So that's why I think it's important for these quarterbacks

784
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: to perform better against the Rams. I will say this

785
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 3: about the whole new kickoff rule. I don't want camera

786
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 3: dick or making any tackles.

787
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: I want tea.

788
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: Though they loved.

789
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 3: It, you know what, I think we all loved it

790
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 3: at the beginning, like the first two seconds that happened.

791
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 2: But after that, it's like.

792
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 3: Man, this guy is maybe the most valuable player on

793
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 3: the team besides Jump, Like he makes everything. We can't

794
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: have this guy out for any extended period of time

795
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 3: because he's trying to make a tackle on special teams, Cameron,

796
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 3: so please please protect yourself.

797
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was fun to watch Derwin. Derwin was keeked man,

798
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: it was it was funny.

799
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: I'll say this.

800
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 4: About the backup right, like, it's hard for me to

801
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 4: figure out what the right what the right solution is

802
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 4: because I'm just kind of going through. Okay, who are

803
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 4: who are the contenders?

804
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: Right?

805
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 4: You look at Kansas City and you know they they

806
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 4: Now they have Carson Wentz who has certainly played a

807
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 4: ton of football, and you would probably and that's kind

808
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 4: of the route they always go, right, they go end

809
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 4: of the career that that Andy Reid can just trust, right, Chad, Henny,

810
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: Blaine Gabbert. Now it's Carson Wentz. You look at the

811
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 4: Rams with Matthew Staffords, Jimmy Garoppolo.

812
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: Starts under their belt.

813
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, starts under their belt. You go to but then

814
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 4: you go to the Bengals and you think about last year.

815
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 4: Burrow goes down and Jake Browning hadn't squashed a grape

816
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 4: in his career and he ends up coming in and

817
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 4: playing good football, you know. So it's just it's kinda

818
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 4: and as you know, the forty nine ers had Sam

819
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 4: Darnold last year, like, and they obviously have Super Bowl

820
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 4: aspirations as I go, Like the Lions behind Jared Goff

821
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 4: Nate Sudfeld, who's just kind of been that career back

822
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 4: up and he's gotten and he's been okay, you know,

823
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 4: So that's that's I don't know what the answer is,

824
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 4: is what I'm getting at. I truly don't know in

825
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 4: terms of allocating resources to a position that in justin

826
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 4: Herbert's career, he's played sixty three of sixty eight games,

827
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 4: you know, and I think the injury was such a

828
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 4: fluke that finger. It's not like he's a guy that

829
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 4: gets banged up, you know. So that's kind of where

830
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 4: I don't for all the people jumping up and down,

831
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 4: I don't think it's the Ryan Tannehill kind of answer, Hey,

832
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 4: we got to get this guy twelve million dollars to

833
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 4: be a backup. I just don't think that's the right way.

834
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 4: I think it's more, can we find a guy that's

835
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 4: the third stringer that a team is going to carry

836
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 4: two and we're gonna go pluck him and jam You know,

837
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 4: if the Browns cut Tyler Huntley because they got you know,

838
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 4: Dorian Jackson Robinson behind Deshaun Watson. The Seattle Seahawks, we

839
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 4: saw him on Saturday, cut PJ. Walker because they've got

840
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 4: Sam Howell behind you know Smith. Those are the guys

841
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 4: you go get and you're like, you know what a

842
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 4: little more comfortable with this and then and that's just

843
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: more of a critique of Easton than we feel like

844
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 4: we need to allocate financial resources to this position.

845
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's this is I think a good

846
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 3: time to kind of scan the league too. Just it's

847
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 3: just for the theme of competition that Jim Harble has

848
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 3: preached since he got here. It's just making making every

849
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 3: position better. And right now, you know, you have you

850
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 3: bring in Luis and I'm excited to see how Easton

851
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 3: rebounds this week and what Louis does.

852
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: But you know, like you hit it on the head. PJ.

853
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 3: Walker was the third quarterback. He was moving the ball

854
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 3: up and down the field. The Cowboys have Cooper Rush

855
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 3: and Trey Lance. You know, there's there's three quarterbacks in Dallas,

856
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 3: and you know, Cooper Rush basically kept their season afloat

857
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 3: when Dak was hurt a couple of years ago.

858
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's just it's funny, like Baltimore think about

859
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: how important Tyler Huntley was to them and they were like,

860
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 4: we're good, and they let him go and he signed

861
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: for nothing in Cleveland, you know, they decided to go

862
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 4: with Josh Johnson. He's like fifty So it's just kind

863
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 4: of it's weird how and you know, and Lamar Jackson

864
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 4: makes fifty million bucks a year, like you know, Justin

865
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 4: Herbert does. So I don't, you know, I don't know

866
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 4: what the right answer is. I really don't. It's you know,

867
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: it's you got case Keenum in Houston as a third

868
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 4: stringer behind Davis Mills. Like as I'm just sorry, I'm

869
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 4: not looking at the screen. I just keep going through

870
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 4: because I have no idea who every team's third quarterback is.

871
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 4: You know, FLA goes behind Richardson and Sam Ellinger's there,

872
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 4: he's played, he started a few games. You go to

873
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 4: Jacksonville and behind Mac Jones you have CJ. Bethert, who's

874
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 4: started some games and is considered a really cerebral guy.

875
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 4: So that's a third quarterback. Like there's so many of

876
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 4: these guys that they can just pluck. Think if they're

877
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 4: really really uncomfortable with it, they will have an opportunity

878
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 4: to grab some guys some team's third stringer and feel

879
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 4: good about it.

880
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 3: It's also worth mentioning that is there a quarterback out

881
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 3: there with Greg Roman ties? I think you mentioned this

882
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: to me, Like, Okay, is there anybody out there that

883
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 3: knows this Greg Roman scheme?

884
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: Because if you bring on.

885
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 3: A younger guy or a third string guy, you know,

886
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 3: it may take a minute to get up to speed

887
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 3: on what they're trying to accomplish here in Los Angeles.

888
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 3: If you're coming from another place, another scheme. So it's

889
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 3: just something to monitor and obviously we hope that these

890
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 3: guys really rebound this this weekend because it's gonna be

891
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 3: good for the room, it's gonna be good for the offense,

892
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 3: and just to know that you have somebody there that

893
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 3: you can count on if God forbid, anything happens.

894
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 4: Mean, Taylor Heineke in Atlanta, you got Kirk and Michael

895
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 4: Pennix tho you're really going to keep Heinekey there? Yeah,

896
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 4: Like so that That's what I'm talking about. So for

897
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: people that are freaking out and screaming Ryan Tannehill. There's

898
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 4: if they're that concerned about it and they don't think

899
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 4: Easton can come in and play a game and win

900
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 4: a game or win two.

901
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: That's what they'll end up doing.

902
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 4: They'll they'll find one of these teams don't carry three

903
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 4: quarterbacks anymore. They carry two. It's just the way it

904
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 4: is because of how much starters make. So yeah, that's

905
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 4: that's what I would say.

906
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 3: The final thing, just the maybe the one or two

907
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 3: keys to Saturday. What do you what are you looking

908
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 3: for as you prep for this game? Money?

909
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's you know one, I hope Junior

910
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 4: Colson plays. You've said it repeatedly. I want to see

911
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 4: him out there get some snaps. What's the rotation on

912
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 4: that defensive line? To me, it's outside of Poona and

913
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 4: Morgan Fox. I think it's totally unsettled. So I'm makes

914
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 4: us to see which guys might make plays out there

915
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 4: between Hinton and Tito and Matt Locke and that position group.

916
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 4: J T Woods playing corner in practice this week. Aj

917
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 4: Finley to me means he's the third safety and and

918
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 4: they're going to get a look see at JT. Because

919
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 4: of all of his ball production at Baylor, those six

920
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 4: interceptions that led the nation that one season. So it

921
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 4: was interesting to see him out there starting to take

922
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 4: some reps there, and he had a really nice game.

923
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: JT.

924
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 4: I thought, had a really nice game, had that big

925
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 4: tackle for loss and looked. You know, that's one thing

926
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 4: that we've always talked about JT is bad angles and

927
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 4: and it needs to be more of a willing tackler.

928
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 4: And I think we saw that on Saturday. So I'm

929
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 4: anxious to see if they if they do plug him

930
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 4: in at corner out there offensively, come Oni Vaidell, get

931
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 4: into this mix, dude, Jared Patterson's the three. Who's going

932
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 4: to be the four? And then the tight ends? You

933
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 4: know we talked about it. You got three that are settled.

934
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 4: Who's going to be that fourth? Is it Benson? Is

935
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 4: it Hines?

936
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: Is it?

937
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 4: Just signed Tucker Fisk who was on the Falcons, and

938
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 4: they said they really didn't want to let him go,

939
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 4: but I don't know for some reason they did. So, yeah,

940
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 4: there's there's a lot out there. I'm anxious to just

941
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 4: watch Joe old Block again, as crazy as that sounds.

942
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 4: So there's a ton man there there is a and

943
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 4: Tremon Morris Brash you know, rush in the passer and

944
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: and getting after it. So there's there's plenty of things

945
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 4: that I'm excited to see. And look, Sean mcvay's arguably

946
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 4: the best play caller you know, outside of Kyle Shanahan

947
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 4: in the NFL. I know it's gonna be vanilla, but

948
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 4: they've got to figure this out. Yeah, Like Sean McVay

949
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 4: is going to have to dial some stuff up because

950
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 4: Jimmy Garoppolos suspended the first two games. So if that's

951
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: so what I'm saying, if this hamstring injury is an

952
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 4: issue for Stafford, you know, they've got to evaluate Stetson Bennett.

953
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 4: He's got to put some plays in there to get

954
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 4: a true evaluation to figure out whether or not he's

955
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 4: the guy. And I think that's gives you a little

956
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 4: bit of excitement of a chess match between Jesse and

957
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 4: and Sean McVay with their backups, with their threes and

958
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 4: and what that looks like.

959
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: That'll be fun.

960
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the the Ladd mcadn't know, the Georgia guy, Lad McConkie.

961
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 3: I if he plays, you know, we've seen some of

962
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 3: the plays that he's made throughout training camp. He's going

963
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: to be counted on week one right away to be

964
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 3: maybe wide receiver one.

965
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: We don't know between.

966
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 3: Between him and Joshah Palmer and DJ Charts, So you

967
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 3: know Lad for sure. And then I'll just add a

968
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 3: couple of guys. You know again, we talked about Isaiah Spiller.

969
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 3: He's just he's two years removed from being the youngest

970
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: player drafted from Texas A and m uh can can

971
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 3: he make a push to make this roster? Can Donald

972
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 3: Parum guys guys that we're familiar with the last couple

973
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 3: of years. Can these guys make a push to make

974
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 3: this Jim Harball team? Donald Parum another guy? Can he

975
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 3: make enough plays over the next couple of weeks to

976
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 3: make this roster? I think the j T. Woods thing

977
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 3: is fascinating moving him to corner. Can can he show

978
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 3: his versatility, his ability to play special teams and ability

979
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 3: to be one of the just the best players out

980
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: on the field if counted on.

981
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 4: So I give you one last one, Chris late in

982
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 4: the game or at some point in the game, keep

983
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 4: an eye on Isaiah. Wooden just signed him tiny five

984
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 4: to seven, one seventy fastest ten split in the history

985
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 4: of the combine, according to Daniel Popper, faster than Xavier

986
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 4: Worthy broke the record for the fastest forty in the

987
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 4: history of the combine, and he's just signed a couple

988
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 4: of days ago. So if he's out there and has

989
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 4: a lane and returns a punt, watch the jets man.

990
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 4: Just just see him turn on the after burners and

991
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 4: see whether or not he can break one. That'll be

992
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 4: fun to watch too.

993
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 3: Throw him a couple go bulls in the fourth We

994
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: go right, that's exactly right there, we go.

995
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: All right, guys, Hey, we always love doing this.

996
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 3: Always appreciate you watching, listening, Enjoy Saturday, and we'll see

997
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:35,279

998
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 2: For money. I'm Chris. This has been charges with
